8.3 – Module 8 Discussion

The way we work, where we work, the environment we work in, and how we communicate with coworkers have changed dramatically over the past few years. Work that was traditionally performed in a building surrounded by co-workers is now being performed remotely or in our house. Technology has been a big part of this change and has allowed us to communicate with others across the globe from our home office, while also being able to collaborate with multiple people at the same time via a computer. There are also challenges with this new work situation such as time management, isolation, self-discipline, and trust from leadership that work will get done without direct supervision. With all of these changes in the work environment, the way an employee’s work is evaluated and performance appraised should be re-examined as well.

 

The original posting or answer to the questions must go well beyond a one or two worded response. Each challenge should be written with multiple sentence answers.

  • This week’s discussion has two parts:
  • 1) Identify three challenges when it comes to traditional performance appraisals or employee evaluations from a manager’s perspective.
  • 2) How would those challenges be different when evaluating employees who work remotely?

Translated Christianities: Nahuatl and Maya Religious Texts by Mark Z. Christensen

By using the reading attached (I only attached Section on Nahuatl and Maya Confessional Manuals pg. 93-110). Write an essay by answering the four questions attached below.

1. What is the author’s argument or position? Identify the reasons why an author wrote their work, which may be related to an issue or concern.

2. What did they use to make their case? Identify the evidence an author used to arrive at their conclusions. USE CITATIONS AND EXPLAIN THEM.

3. What do you think about the author’s argument and evidence based on your current academic major (biology major)? Relate how the author's argument connects to the field of biology. For example: you can write about if you think a sin is biological. Is there something about how Molina presents sin that seems to be inherent to a human biological condition? Is Molina doing something similar? You can challenge the author.

4. Identify a present-day issue or concern related to your source. This can be a social media post, a news story, a movie, tv-show, lyrics of a song, etc.

Discussion

Background

Free floating denial: In your text, it is noted that clients with co-occurring disorders often demonstrate different forms of denial, depending in part on the skills and training of the professional interviewing them. Contrast the following two hypothetical interviews. The client is a man who is assumed to be 25-year old and is recovering from the aftereffects of a head injury he suffered while intoxicated:

Counselor: So, we are meeting here to discuss your substance use, to try and determine whether you have a substance problem.

Client: Can you speak up a bit? The accident left me with a hearing problem.

Counselor (speaking more loudly): In the year before your accident, how often would you say you would drink alcohol in the typical week?

Client: I can’t remember much of the year before the accident. I was told by the doctors that I probably won’t be able to regain any of those memories back.

Counselor: All right, how far back does your memory allow you to recall things clearly?

Client: Two or three years back.

Counselor: Then describe what your alcohol use pattern was like 2–3 years ago.

Client: Oh, it was not a problem back then. I hardly ever used alcohol. But I can’t remember clearly, because of my head injury. Sorry.

Now contrast this with the following hypothetical interview between a physician and the same client the next day:

Physician: Well, you seem to be recovering quite well. But your alcohol and drug misuse bothers me.

Client: Oh. The counselor told me that I don’t have a problem. We discussed this yesterday and he said that I did not even seem to misuse alcohol. I never use drugs, so that is not a problem. But my shoulder still hurts me a lot.

Physician: Does it hurt when you move your shoulder in a specific way, or does it hurt all the time?

Client: All the time. Can you give me something for the pain?

In this hypothetical set of conversations, you can see how the client shifted the focus away from his substance use to his medical condition when meeting with the counselor, and then away from his substance use to a physical problem when meeting with the physician (with a ploy to obtain painkillers tossed in for good measure). Thus, clear and continuous communications between the professionals who are involved in the patient’s treatment is always necessary. For example:

Counselor: So, we are meeting here to discuss your substance use, to try and determine whether you have a substance problem.

Client: Can you speak up a bit? The accident left me with a hearing problem.

Counselor (speaking more loudly): Really? Dr. Smith did not mention that in his notes. I will have to mention it to Dr. Smith when we meet later this afternoon and Dr. Smith will want to discuss that problem with you. But let us move on. In the year before your accident, in a typical week how often would you consume alcohol?

Client: I can’t remember much of the year before the accident. I was told by the doctors that I probably won’t be able to regain any of those memories back.

Counselor: Hmmm. The neuropsychological test results did not suggest either short-term or long-term memory problems. It is strange that you cannot remember that information now.

Client: Can I see the report?

Counselor: You can discuss the report and the conclusions with the neuropsychologist after we are finished. Right now, we are discussing your alcohol use in the year prior to your accident. . .

REACTION BETWEEN MARBLE CHIPS AND HYDROCHLORIC ACID

Choose one of these experiments for your laboratory report:
a The effect of concentration OR a The effect of temperature for your laboratory report The rate of a particular chemical reaction (how much product is formed/reactant is consumed per unit time) depends on a number of factors: concentration of reactants, temperature, catalysts, pressure or degree of subdivision of reactant.’ When marble chips react with hydrochloric acid carbon dioxide is released. The gas that is released can be collected during the reaction and the rate of reaction determined.

In this experiment you will study the effect on the rate of this reaction of changes in the concentration or temperature of the hydrochloric acid.

Your laboratory report should be more than just a copy of the instructions together with any results you have obtained. They should form a record so that you, or any other person, could repeat the experiment taking note of your observations, results, and conclusions. Your laboratory report should include:
Introduction Background: You may find it helpful to ‘set the scene’ by introducing key theoretical ideas relevant to the practical or to link the experiment to significant examples in our everyday lives. Aims/objectives. (20 marks)
