...Programming Solution Option 2: Personal Learning Management Option 1: Programming Solution Part 1: Programming Solution Proposal Select a problem in your workplace that requires a programming solution. Instead of a workplace, you may use another organization to which you belong, such as a house of worship, a local library, or a sports league. You may also use one of the Virtual Organizations as your model. Write a 2- to 3-page proposal in which you do the following: • Describe how you determined the problem that must be solved. • Describe the role of the personnel involved in the project. • Explain the process of solving the problem and developing the program in terms of the programming development cycle. • Explain how you would take a modular approach to the program solution and why it is important. • Provide appropriate references to support the points in your paper. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Part 2: Selection Structure Paper Use the Part 1: Programming Solution Proposal you developed in Week Two and select one section of the proposal that requires a selection structure. Write a 2- to 3-page paper describing the purpose of that structure and write the pseudocode for that structure. Examine any iteration control structure. If the program you described in Week Two does not lend itself well to the inclusion of a selection structure, create a new example of a selection structure. Create a Visual Logic flowchart...

...Personal Learning Management Part Three University of Phoenix PRG 211 09-23-2013 Contents Introduction 3 Problem Statement and Solution 4 Conclusion 6 Introduction Parallel array structures can be used for many instances where an individual wants to input information that is unique to them, such as keeping track of their value items of learning. The entire process of putting pen to paper and creating a program is methodical in nature. The code does not have to be complicated and can be written in plain spoken English. Testing a program to see if it works is a simple task. All the programmer has to do is to input the data into the program and if it is functioning properly, a result based on the input and output will appear of the screen. The results come from a calculated list of items that have a represented value declared by the programmer. For instance, if a programmer wanted to design a program to calculate an entire course’s worth of an item with high value, then they would most likely declare the item of high value as the starting declaration and then say how many of that item are in an entire course. Problem Statement and Solution Arrays have been used in a whole host of problems to arrive at solutions for daily routines and tasks that people are involved in. Parallel arrays operate on a “grab that” basis where the values within the strings grab data from each other and produce information...

...Jason T. Black, PhD (also called “Dr. B”) Email: Use the Messages feature in the classroom to email me. Table of Contents Course Description (Catalog) | This course introduces students to writing computer programs. The class presents the principles of structured programming using the BASIC language, perhaps the most common language for personal computers. Because of its ease of use it is ideal as a first programming language and runs on both the PC and Macintosh platforms. The course is designed for people without previous programming experience who do not necessarily plan on becoming professional programmers. However, the knowledge gained in the class can be applied later to other languages such as C and Java. Participants learn to solve problems logically by breaking them into smaller pieces, which can then be solved. Topics include: introduction to computing - how does a computer work?; input and output - getting information to and from the user; variables and expressions - performing arithmetic; data statements - reading information from inside the program; text files - reading information from other files; arrays - groups of variables; debugging - finding errors in your program; graphics - graphs, boxes, shaded areas; and formatting - changing how things look on the screen. [3 Semester Hours] Table of Contents Course Scope | In this course describes basic programming concepts and...

PARSING THE FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR STUDYING COLLEGE IMPACT Introduction For many college-bound students and their families, the first year of college is a make-orbreak period for learning, for decisions about continued college enrollment, and for discovering whether they made a good decision about which college to attend. Abundant evidence links students’ first-year academic performance to both persistence and degree completion (Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991, 2005). In addition, about two-thirds (perhaps as much as 90 percent for cognitive skills) of the gains college students make in reading, math, science, the social sciences, and cognitive skill development will occur in the first two years (Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005). Many students, however, are not in college long enough to realize those benefits or, for that matter, any of the other personal, social, intellectual, occupational, and financial benefits of completing a college degree. On average, four-year colleges and universities lose 29 percent of their first-year students before they start their second year (ACT, 2004). Barely more than half (53 percent) of the students beginning a bachelor’s degree program at a four-year...

Reflection encourages us to become aware of our intellectual and affective which relate to a particular learning experience. We are every day reflecting our emotions and felling about events, by reflecting I will be looking back at something which has happened in order to show what I have learned from it, and how to tell friends and families about my experiences in the work or class? And how do I feel about the experiences? For me am doing reflection on action, because reflection on action take the place after the event has taken place. It’s help me to think and developing of experience and its help me to think about what I would ideally do if the situation happened again. Models of Reflection Learning through reflection is more effective if there is an understanding of frameworks that encourage a structural process to guide the act of reflection.

Explain the importance of computer literacy. 2. Define the term computer. 3. Identify the components of a computer. 4. Compare the uses of various types of: input devices, output devices, and storage devices. 5. Describe categories of computers and their uses. Structure and Functions of a Computer 1 1.0 Introduction A computer is an electronic machine designed for the storage and processing of data. The machinery is called hardware, and this highly sophisticated equipment needs equally sophisticated programs (called software) to become a working computer system. Modern society has come to depend very heavily on the use of computer systems. Banks, businesses, government departments, industries, shops, people at home and school all rely on computer to play a vital role in their daily activities. These activities are centered on information. In business, the computer system has been used a lot and replaced filing cabinets as means of storing information, and clerical workers as a means of processing it. By storing and processing information on a computer system, these businesses can function more quickly and efficiently, because information can be found and collated much faster.

...Learning Team Charter Analysis Team Memebers STR/581 November 5, 2012 Professor’s Name Learning Team Charter Analysis At the University of Phoenix, a fundamental learning goal is effective collaboration. Developing the skills to effectively work in teams and groups has become increasingly important in the corporate world. These skills are developed through a series of experiences throughout a student’s University of Phoenix education. Working in teams as a group member or team leader offers students at the University of Phoenix a hands on educational experience to develop and sharpen these necessary skills. Teams have an opportunity to assist in their learning experience by setting ground rules to aid in reaching agreements and achieving team assignments. Every team creates a team charter used to resolve differences, create structure and develop an effective and efficient set of rules all members agree to. This assignment will analyze Team A’s charter to determine its current effectiveness than make improvements based on the charters strengths and weaknesses to improve team performance. The team charter currently contains four unique sections. To aid in assessing the teams charter, each charter section will be discussed, strengths and weaknesses will be identified, and then recommendations for improvements will be made. Team Ground Rules and Guidelines The process of determining the general expectations of the team members certainly helps...

...Local Lawsuit Rosemarie South Professor Charlene Bean Business Law 1 August 14, 2012 First the client must file a complaint or petition. Any complaint or petition for relief in a court must be filed within the statutory time limit. A complaint is a general statement of the plaintiff’s claim. The complaint must describe the actions that led to the claim of a violation. The claim can be for money damages. It could also be a claim for equitable remedies like specific performance of the court forcing a party to abide by a contract or an injunction like stopping a person from doing something. The complaint must establish jurisdiction of the court in which it is filed. The persons who start a lawsuit are the lead plaintiff. This is the person who have has a problem and need a lawyer to help them to get the ball rolling A lead plaintiff has a big job. And like any job, it has some benefits and disadvantages. For example: Even though the lead plaintiff starts the case and hires the attorneys, she doesn't have to pay attorney's fees or legal expenses. A lead plaintiff usually works very closely with the attorneys handling the case and participates a great deal in the court process. Only the lead plaintiff can agree to or reject a settlement offer. If he or she wins or the case is settled, the lead plaintiff is paid first after the attorneys get their fees and expenses. Service of process generally involves attaching a copy of the complaint to a summons...

...The Glass Ceiling Hossam Elhowary Professor Anthony Teri, MBA, MA Psychology of Women Union County College The Glass Ceiling Inequality primarily refers to when different groups are deprived their choice of rights. It has been pronounced in the current society at diverse levels and in a variety of parts. The most common features are in relation to gender, age, social class, geographical background among other features. In adverse situations, discriminatory acts have often resulted into conflicts in the society therefore an array of devastating consequences. In addition, equitable development in most societies has often been compromised by cases of inequalities at different levels. Central in the discriminatory acts is cases of inequality exercised towards the feminine gender. Over the years, the women have been treated as the weaker gender therefore subject to unequal opportunities in the society. The glass ceiling well explains it, a term often used in political arenas to explain certain barriers to prevent women from attaining certain opportunities in the society. The year 2014 is not an isolation of cases of women equality. Numerous cases of actions depriving the women of equal participation in different sectors. More precisely, cases of gender inequality in the corporate sector have raised much concern due to the rapid increasing rates. Initially, both the two genders are often subjected to the same nature of scrutiny during the recruitment procedures...

...Video Case 1: Original Penguin Becomes a Learning Organization Questions: 1. As the organization has grown from just three employees, Chris Kolbe has had to delegate more decisions to others. How important is this transition to Original Penguin’s success as a learning organization? Explain. - It is important to delegate more decisions to others because the free flow of information is the key to the rejuvenation of Original Penguin. This is to make sure that communication with the team is at its highest peak; thus, it must be clear to every employee the goals and needs of the company. 2. Do you think Kolbe views knowledge among his employees as an important resource? Why or why not? - Yes, because Kolbe relies on the collaboration and communication among his team members. Kolbe firmly believes in empowering employees with freedom and resources to initiate their own ideas, make their own decisions, and perform their best. Kolbe also stated that “If you have a team, you have to give ownership of what they do.” He views knowledge among his employees as an important resource because he makes them feel comfortable and secure and make them feel that he wanted them. 3. What steps might Original Penguin as a company take ensure the satisfaction of its employees? - The company must give credits to the accomplishments of the employees by acknowledging their efforts and by giving them rewards or something. The free flow of ideas must still be there and respect and...

...conjunction with The Finance Project. © 2005 Stanford Educational Leadership Institute (SELI). All rights reserved. Principals play a vital role in setting the direction for successful schools, but existing knowledge on the best ways to prepare and develop highly qualified candidates is sparse. What are the essential elements of good leadership? How are successful leadership development programs designed? What program structures provide the best learning environments? What governing and financial policies are needed to sustain good programming? “School Leadership Study: Developing Successful Principals” is a major research effort that seeks to answer these questions. Commissioned by The Wallace Foundation and undertaken by the Stanford Educational Leadership Institute in conjunction with The Finance Project, the study will examine eight highly developed pre- and inservice program models that address key issues in developing strong leaders. Once effective processes have been identified they can be replicated, ensuring that more and more schools become vibrant learning communities under the direction of outstanding leaders.
