/in /by

In your breakout room groups discuss and prepare a brief response (bullet points) based on the what your heard during the interviews to the following questions. Those should be summarized in a word document with the names of the people in your group and submitted on line. Chose a spokesperson or spokespersons to present your groups responses to the class.

  1. What do you think companies can/should be doing to ensure the health and safety of their workforce? How much responsibility rests with the employees themselves?
  2. What should companies be doing to ensure that they have leadership continuity to replace key individuals should they become infected?
  3. What should companies do so they can cover near term expenses. Its estimated that 16% of US companies may become “zombie companies” not having enough cashflow to cover interest on current debts or financial obligations?
  4. What trade offs should companies make around payroll expenses such as pay cuts, furloughs, layoffs.?
  5. What should companies due to minimize supply chain disruptons? (75% of US businesses have experienced supply chain disruptions.)
  6. Can companies work remotely for extended periods of time and maintain a healthy company culture.
  7. How should companies behave to remain socially responsible?
  8. What do you thinks the biggest challenge companies will face beyond the previous questions this year and over the next five years?

Analyze two people in your community (work, friends, family, church, etc); one should be an influential person (leader), and the other should not be influential (the opposite of the other person). Describe their personalities. What can you (we) learn from both these individuals?

Analyze two people in your community (work, friends, family, church, etc); one should be an influential person (leader), and the other should not be influential (the opposite of the other person). According to principles found in chapter 5, describe their personalities. What can you (we) learn from both these individuals?

1.Define personality, describe how it is measured, and explain the factors that determine an individual’s personality.

2.Describe the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality framework and assess its strengths and weaknesses.

3.Identify the key traits in the Big Five personality model.

4.Demonstrate how the Big Five traits predict behavior at work.

5.Identify other personality traits relevant to OB.

6.Define values, demonstrate the importance of values, and contrast terminal and instrumental values.

7.Compare generational differences in values and identify the dominant values in today’s workforce.

8.Identify Hofstede’s five value dimensions of national culture

You will begin your project by conducting a literature review on the social aspects of online learning, including social media, social presence, and best practices for connecting, engaging, and interacting online with students or colleagues

Explain your position on using social media in educational contexts. What is appropriate and inappropriate? How much is too much?

Critique the latest research on social presence and best practices for connecting engaging, and interacting online with students.

Describe how the best practices you plan to adopt for social media use and social presence within educational organizations fit within the current literature.

 A mirror is used to produce an inverted image the same size as the object. If that image is 25.0cm from the mirror, what is the mirror’s radius of curvature?

Where would you have to place a 41.5cm tall object to form: a. A virtual image 67.43cm from a concave mirror with a focal length of 16.00cm? b. A real image that is 12.8cm tall and 82.4cm from its mirror?

A mirror produces an upright image that is three times as far away from the mirror as the object. What kind of mirror must it be and how do you know?

An object is placed 34cm from a convex mirror with a focal length of 19cm. Calculate the location of the image.

An inverted image is exactly one-fifth the size of its object. If the focal length of the mirror is 23.0cm, where was the object placed?

A mirror is used to produce an inverted image the same size as the object. If that image is 25.0cm from the mirror, what is the mirror’s radius of curvature?

Do Belgian citizens, identity themselves more strongly with the national or the regional level?What are then the main lines of the argument regarding the research question

/in /by
The research question that guide the paper is Do Belgian citizens, identity themselves more strongly with the national or the regional level?

The paper brings together all steps undertaken. It sets out from a concise introduction that provides context and motivation of a clearly formulated, relevant and feasible (set of) research question(s). In building the literature study, students show their capacity to find sources that are relevant for tackling the research question, show how they gather insights in available literature that are useful to increase their understanding of a current issue; and illustrate their capacity to present, evaluate and link information from academic and other sources of information. In searching for and reading relevant sources, different perspectives on the subtopic and research question have been gathered and are presented in the paper. Points of attention in the literature study are, amongst other things, •possibly returning concepts and theories that are used in the investigated literature and sources; •whether the literature and sources are confirming a certain line of analysis and evaluation, or if there is disagreement among authors; •in case of an agreement among authors, what are then the main lines of the argument regarding the research question; •in case of disagreements, on which elements, concepts or evaluations is there disagreement and what are the arguments raised by authors. Looking for differences in focus, perspective, theoretical approach and/or methods used, usually elevates the understanding regarding the topic under scrutiny: “A clash of doctrines is not a disaster – it is an opportunity” (Whitehead, 1953, p. 186). The discussion of relevant information and insights is furthermore presented in a logical and academically rigorous narrative.

Web 2.0 tools are readily available for use in online courses and training programs and provide ways to diversify presentations. The use of social media is emerging as a best practice in online learning environments. Suppose you are designing an online learning experience.

  • Discuss 2-3 Web 2.0 tools you plan to incorporate into the learning experience to promote learner participation and engagement. Describe how you will use the tools (e.g., announcements, feedback, instructions).
  • What has been the impact of social media on educational organizations and learning environments?
  • Discuss the boundaries educators should consider when using social media to promote learner interaction and engagement. Support your response with references from the literature.

Logarithmic functions are complex and may create misconceptions. Students often see little, if any, reason for learning about them. Use the questions to guide an original response

Describe mathematical reasons and arguments that could convince a friend that log(M + N) ≠ logM + logN.

What misconceptions might these two problems present for students? Why is it important to address misconceptions early?

How would you respond to a student who sees little, or no, meaning in solving either problem?
