...LET 1 Task 3 Thomas Pepper 195297 Introduction: Corporation A was founded in 1989 and focuses on creating marketing programs for the real estate industry. The corporate mission of Corporation A is to help clients improve their real estate sales. The Corporation A team is comprised of professionals with varied backgrounds and experience levels. The company prides itself on fostering a team environment throughout the organization. Given: Employee 1 has worked in the marketing department at Corporation A for 12 years. In the marketing department, employees who earn a superior rating on their yearly performance evaluation receive a large bonus at the end of the year. Employee 1 often comes into the office on weekends or stays late to ensure the work is complete and accurate. The marketing manager encourages employees to work beyond the requisite 40 hours a week by reminding them of the yearly bonus for receiving a superior rating on their next evaluation. Employee 1 is planning to use the bonus for a well-deserved vacation that would be unaffordable without the bonus. Employee 2 is the only certified public accountant (CPA) in the accounting department at Corporation A. Employee 2 has negotiated with the accounting manager to work a four-day work week and is the only person in that department allowed to work a compressed work week. The accounting manager agreed to the shortened work week because Employee 2 is the only employee who can prepare the company’s financial...

...LET1 Task 3 Influence someone has over another is known as power. Power can be good or bad depending on how it is used. If power is used wisely it can help an organization. Used poorly, however, power can be detrimental to those involved. There are five bases of power and all are seen in the given scenario. These five bases can be divided into two main forms of power. The first form of power “is based on an individual’s position in an organization” (Robbins & Judge, 2007, p. 471), this is also known as formal power. This form of power encompasses three of our five bases of power. The first that is included is a fear based power known as coercive power. The second is based on rewards and acknowledgement and is known as reward power. The final base covered in the first group is legitimate power. Legitimate power is created by a specific title or position within an organization. The second form of power is personal power, and encompasses the remaining two bases of power. The first base of power covered under personal power is expert power. Having skills or knowledge that someone else does not is expert power. The last base of power is referent power. “Referent power develops out of admiration of another and a desire to be like that person,” (Robbins & Judge, 2007, p. 472). All individuals possess a degree of personal power. As mentioned previously, all five bases of power are represented within the given scenario. Coercive power, the first base of power, is presented...

...LET1 Task 3 - When discussing leadership it’s important to know that there are 5 bases of power. Those 5 bases of power are coercive, reward, legitimate, referent, and expert. Coercive can be described as someone with power using that power to make someone do something they do not want to do. Reward is just that, offering a reward. A manager might offer a reward to the employee who has the highest production rate. This, in theory, drives all employees to work harder in hopes of a reward. Legitimate power is when someone does something they are asked because of the job title or role of the person asking them. Referent power is when someone does something they are asked to do because they like or admire the person asking them to do it. Expert power involves someone’s expertise to get something done. A doctor is a good example. If a doctor tells a patient he or she needs to drink more milk, that person will more than likely comply, simply because of the doctor’s inferred expertise. Within the given scenarios, the five bases of power are displayed. The paragraph that discusses employee 1 and the marketing manager describes a situation in which the coercive and reward powers are being used. The yearly bonus is the reward for employees who receive a superior rating on performance evaluations. The manager uses coercion to get the employees to work late and on their off days. The paragraph that discusses the accounting department and employee 2, who is a CPA, the expert...

...Thailand Mahasarakham To get every student in class active is the dream and desire of every good educator. However it is not that easy to achieve. Studies have shown that educators across the world face a day to day challenge in bring all students in their class to participant in classroom discussions and activities. The failure to achieve desired result has resulted in many schools separating class room based on ability of students. This solution limits the number of mixed ability students in one class making it easy for educators to get more than 80% of the students active. You must be wondering if this is a solution then: 1. Why keep mix ability classrooms? 2. Why not divided the classes until only students of same ability are left in each class? 3. Why waste time on such a topic? The answers to the above questions are simple. 1. If we put all higher ability students in one class and lower ability students in the other, how do we think the lower ability students are ever going to improve? 2. It is not possible to have a class filled with students of the same ability....

...Sadie Edwards and I have over 10 years of nursing experience Definition of Delegation Delegation: Transferring to a competent individual the authority to perform a selected nursing task in a selected situation. The nurse retains accountability for the delegation. Concepts and Decision-Making Process National Council Position Paper, 1995 Most nurses would rather do the tasks themselves, but they can not perform all of them safely. According to Hansten & Jackson, “it is our responsibility to the patients we care for to ensure that they receive the best that we can offer by delegating wisely”. Delegation Process * Define the task * Select the individual or team * Assess ability and training needs * Explain the reasons * State required results * Consider resources required * Agree to deadline * Support and communicate * Feedback and results Alan Chapman, Delegation 1995-2009 The steps to successful delegation are: 1. To define the task, ask yourself if the task is right to be delegated. Does it meet the criteria for delegating? 2. Select the individual or team, why are you delegating to this person or team? What are the both of you getting out of it. 3. Assess ability and training needs, is this other person or team of people able to do the task. Do they understand what needs to be done. If not, you can not delegate. 4. Explain the reasons, explain why the job or responsibility is...

(3 points) The Naive Bayes classifier uses the maximum a posteriori or the MAP decision rule for classification. True or False. Explain. Solution: True. The decision rule for the Naive Bayes classifier is: P (Xi |Y = y) arg; max P (Y = y) y i One can think of P (Y = y) as the prior distribution and P (Xi |Y = y) as the data likelihood. Note that when we do the learning, we are using the MLE approach. The decision rule is using MAP inference but the learning algorithm is using the MLE approach. Make sure you understand what this distinction means. 2. (6 points) Let θ be the probability that “Thumbtack 1” (we will abbreviate it as T1) shows heads and 2θ be the probability that “Thumbtack 2” (we will abbreviate it as T2) shows heads. You are given the following Dataset (6 examples). T1 Tails T2 Heads T1 Tails T1 Tails T2 Heads T2 Heads • What is the likelihood of the data given θ. Solution: We have 3 tails for T1 and 3 heads for T2. Therefore, the likelihood is L(θ) = (1 − θ)3 (2θ)3 The Log-likelihood is: LL(θ) = 3 log(1 − θ) + 3 log(2) + 3 log(2θ) • What is the maximum likelihood estimate of θ. (Hint: Derivative of log(x) is 1/x). Solution: This can be...

...An Analysis on the Effects of Group Performance Tasks to Grade 9 Students by Hanna Coleen G. Malayao Grade 10 - Diego Mojica St. Dominic College – Basic Education A (Draft) Research Paper submitted to Mr. Poccholo M. Rudio November 4, 2015 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Introductory paragraphs A school or institution is built to provide learning and good education to students and prepare them for their future. Parents send their children in school to be knowledgeable on everything they see and do and enjoy life while learning. According to Albert Einstein, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” It only means that education shouldn’t focus on teaching facts instead students should be learning while interacting with one another. Educating students is done by many ways, it may be by visual aids that will let the students view a clearer idea on the topic, it may also be by means of technology which is very popular nowadays especially to the present generation. But above all this, there’s this one way of educating students that would never get old, it is interacting students with other people by grouping them to work on a specific matter or task. This process would develop students to become sociable as they grew up and letting them share their opinion and ideas. It would help as well to engage and connect students with their skills and values while learning competently. Researcher reports that students learn best when they are actively involved...

...electricity costs are growing at a faster rate. This policy provides significant energy savings. In this paper, it is also suggested that a power-aware policy for structured systems only requires knowledge of the ranking of machines with respect to their power efficiencies and structured systems are a special kind of heterogeneous systems that are common for cluster environments. II. WORKLOAD MODEL In this model a dedicated front end scheduler is used to assign incoming tasks to back end machine. If the number of machines be J and tasks are classified into i classes. Let α be the arrival matrix rate and the ith element of α isαi. Assuming tasks of class i reaches front end at αi. In this model, the expected task execution time is estimated by classifying the groups or classes with identical distribution. The policy considered here is an estimate on mean execution time rather than exact execution time. Let μi,jbe the execution rate for tasks of class i at machine j, hence 1/μi,jis the mean execution time for class i tasks at machine j. III. CURRENT POLICIES The First Come First Serve (FCFS) scheduling policy is used to for scheduling world load model. The advantage of using FCFS is that it does not require any dynamic information on the state of the system. But, the disadvantage of it is that it ignores machine power consumption and result in severe energy wastage. Another scheduling policy is the Pick-the-most-efficient (PME) policy and applies a...
