...[pic] Information Security Office Information Security Office Security Assessment Description and Questionnaire The Information Security Office offers many types of assessments to meet our customer’s needs. This document explains the process for requesting an assessment, describes the set of security assessment services that the Information Security Office (ISO) offers to members of the campus community and provides a questionnaire that is used to assist in understanding the target environment. The ISO is not able to assess every possible platform or application. Nor is it possible for the ISO to meet every timeline requirement. In those cases, the ISO may contract with external partners to deliver the requested assessment service. There may be associated costs that will need to be passed along to the requesting organizational unit. Process: The Information Security Office has created a simple process around vulnerability assessments to provide clarity and consistency. The process is outlined and diagrammed below. 1. Contact the ISO (request assessment) 2. The ISO accepts the project 3. A questionnaire (later in this document) is completed by the customer 4. A scoping/kick-off meeting is held • The goal of the meeting is to try to determine which type of assessment is appropriate, the scope of the assessment, a timeline and contact information. The product of the meeting is a Statement of Work that will be agreed upon and...

...frequently, the classes flow well, and all involved feel like the course was a success. On the other hand, most of the instructors also had quite the opposite experience, where it is a regular struggle to get students to ask questions and participate in discussions. Student engagement, a broader, more encompassing term, which consists of four factors (skills, participation/interaction, emotional, and performance), is becoming increasingly important in higher education (Handelsman, Briggs, Sullivan, &Towler, 2005). Though all areas of engagement are important and theNational Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) has increased as universities try to use student engagement as a significant part of higher education assessment (Kuh, 2001), here the focus is on the participation/interaction factor of engagement. The traditional lecture-only format is losing its prevalence in the classroom, as it is replaced with mixed delivery methods which utilize group discussion, dyadic work, and peer review, to name a few, all of which minimize lecturing. In-class participation has become increasingly important with millennial generation students who demand more interaction from their classroom experience (Allred & Swenson, 2006; Howe & Strauss, 2000). In particular, Tony VN. Figuera of Mindanao Times (2006) stated that the inability of students to argue in class and their phobia for oral exams are only two of the discrepant behaviors that educators observe in school. This attitude of...

...Riassunto: Le risorse umane persone, relazioni e valore di Giovanni Costa e Martina Gianecchini Cap. 6 LE PERSONE GIUSTE AL POSTO GIUSTO con le attività di reclutamento e selezione l'impresa mette a confronto il fabbisogno aziendale con i mercati del lavoro, al fine di individuare le persone con un profilo coerente con la propria strategia di business, cioè in possesso delle competenze professionali e comportamentali necessarie, e quindi in grado di apportare individualmente e collettivamente, un contributo agli obiettivi aziendali. Individuare le persone giuste non è né semplice né automatico. 6.1 il processo di assunzione il processo di assunzione comincia nel momento in cui l'impresa avverte la necessità di adeguare il proprio organico alle necessità della strategia o al fabbisogno segnalato dalle attività di programmazione del personale. L'inserimento di nuove persone dovrebbe essere progettato in una logica di continuità. Numerosi sono però gli ostacoli a una programmazione di politiche di assunzione di lungo periodo: * cambiamenti organizzativi: che spingono verso una veloce evoluzione dei ruoli delle competenze * cambiamenti nei mercati: che accelerano i tipi di obsolescenza delle competenze distintive * cambiamenti normativi: che agendo sulle regole dei contratti modificano le logiche organizzative.
