...Controlling on the other hand, is used by management to ensure that a specific event is accomplished as planned. According to Roberto Mockler, controlling is “a systematic effort by business management to compare performance to predetermined standards, plans, or objectives to determine whether performance is in line with these standards…” (Certo & Certo, 2009). Therefore controlling goes hand-in-hand with the planning aspect of organizational management. In order for organizations to properly plan and control events, it is important to establish performance measures in which to judge success or failure. This paper will discuss more in-depth various types of performance measures and evaluate each for strengths and weaknesses. Performance Measures Probably the most important human resource management (HRM) performance measure is the performance appraisal. The performance appraisal, also known as performance evaluation, is a process in which management reviews an employee’s past production to evaluate the contribution made to the overall goal accomplishment. It seems that performance appraisals are a party of every organization in some facet. Many decisions in an organization are dependent on performance appraisals (Cintrón & Flaniken, 1999). Performance evaluations provide management with data to support increases in...

...Game Journal 6 The school of criticism that made the most sense to me was by far the biographical critique. In my opinion the vast majority of the other critiques read as though the author was simply trying to find examples for that particular type of critique where there was probably very little intentioned meaning behind it. Some of the meaning behind the game that was analyzed seemed as though it was forced. The biographical critique, however, analyzes the author’s intent behind the game using quotes from the author himself. This lends more authority to the critique and prevented it from feeling as though meaningless aspects of the game were being critiqued. In the biographical critique for Katamari Damacy the critic uses the author’s own words to describe how the author intended the game to affect his audience. This is information straight from the source and thus allows for the game to be looked at in a new light. The author intended the game’s peaceful, fun, game that is almost devoid of conflict to brighten the lives of everyone that played it and thus make the world better. The critic in a more thorough analysis could then have described whether the game is successful in doing that, and if so by how much. The biographical critique provided the author’s motivations behind making the game. This is a strong basis on which to critique the game. Analyze the author’s intent behind making the game along with how well the game imparts the author’s message. By doing this...

...be wrong but my opinion on “Young people need models not critics” still holds. I do however slightly understand when adults want us to know right from wrong, and know to do the right thing. My problem with this is after or in some occasions before they preach to us about being the best we can be, they demonstrate the total opposite. Being part of the younger generation I’m not sure if I’m speaking for myself when I say we don’t need a how to. What we need are people who understand us and who demonstrate the things that they speak upon, rather than pointing fingers and demonstrating the opposite of which they speak. Adults aren’t perfect but if they’re able to critique the actions of the younger generation, they should be able to perform those same things they advised us to do better. Maybe its even better to not critique us, and once we...

...3.2 God in the Critique of Pure Reason's Transcendental Dialectic 3.2.1 The Ens Realissimum The Transcendental Dialectic's “Ideal of Reason” contains the best known and most frequently anthologized components of Kant's philosophy of religion. In addition to its portrayal of the ens realissimum, one finds within it Kant's objections to the Ontological, Cosmological and Physico-theological (Design) arguments for God's existence. It is thus the text most central to the negative elements of Kant's philosophy of religion and is integral to the widely held view that Kant is deeply hostile to faith. The general aim of the Transcendental Dialectic is to expose reason's excesses, its drive to move beyond the limits of possible experience, and to bring all concepts into a systematic unity under an “unconditioned condition.” The Transcendental Dialectic begins with a critique of reason's illusions and errors within the sphere of Rational Psychology. It then moves on to a critique of cosmological metaphysics, and then to the “Ideal of Reason” where Kant turns to Rational Theology and its pursuit of religious knowledge. As Kant explains, underlying all the traditional proofs for God's existence is the concept of the ens realissimum, the most real being. Reason comes to the idea of this being through the principle that every individuated object is subject to the “principle of complete determination.” While the generality of concepts allow them to be less than fully determined (e.g...

...CONCERT CRITIQUE Constructive Critique of Your Choir’s Performance: -What are (minimum) three (3) constructive criticisms that you can make of the performance of each of the pieces your ensemble performed? While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks 1. I think because the sopranos were missing three people (handbell), the sopranos were not very strong compared to the other parts. 2. The sopranos also did not really have great posture during the first song. 3. I think that have both alto and soprano for the echo parts were much more over powering than the mens. The Christmas Song 1. At the end of phrases the notes sounded flat to me. 2. We should have worked more on the crescendos, to give more depth to the song. 3. We also should have worked on the tricky notes, such as when the sopranos sing, “every child is going to spy”. The Manger of Bethlehem 1. Breathing was defiantly hard for this song, and we took breaths in places marked no breath. 2. Although this song was well sung, giving it more crescendo would have gave it more depth. 3. The guitar and flute was not really heard over all our voices. :( Hodie 1. We could have used more forte when singing Gloria in excelsis deo four times. 2. When we fist came in, I felt that men where to weak. 3. Sopranos could have projected their voice more, for the last “Hodie”. -What are (minimum) two (2) things that were done well in each of the pieces your ensemble performed?? While...

...Music 28 January 2013 Recital Critique # 1 When I got to my class today I was told that we had a concert that would be played by Alan Mason who is the pianist. Walking into the class I noticed the class was set up different from previous classes so I knew this class would be even more important. The desks were turned around towards a stage that the class had never seen before but on the stage was a piano. A handout was given which was The Original Piano Compositions of Irit Smith who is a composer. Before the performance was started the class was actually introduced to her and she explained to us what we would we hearing during the performance. More than one chose of music was played and I can say I enjoyed listening to them all. These compositions were The Jerusalem Suite, Impressions of Israel, and Krakow Variations on a Polish Air in C major. The way the piano was played you could tell that you are very experienced and have done them before. Usually when many people have to play something in front of new people for the first time they are nervous but you were very comfortable on the stage and did an incredible performance. Something I was glad that you did was after each time you performed you told us about your performance and asked did we have any questions. I listen to only certain types of music so when listening to different music that I am not familiar of I tend to get bored but you had me very entertained. In the first performance at one point it was soft type of...

...Critique for Macbeth play Attending the performance of Macbeth at the Toronto Centre of the Arts was a great experience that helped my interpretation and understanding of the play. Some of the things that I thought were positive about the performance were the modernizing of the play using modern warfare and the killing of Duncan on stage. Using modern warfare instead of having the play based 400 years ago was a great idea by the director because it made the play more entertaining and it allowed the audience to easily understand what was going on in the play. Additionally I thought that the killing of Duncan on stage was also a great idea. As one of the most important scenes in the play, it showed the audience that Macbeth went through with the murder. This allowed the performance to flow more smoothly in making it very clear to the audience what was happening. Despite these positives, I found that the performance had a lot of negatives that I would have changed. Firstly, I did not like how the performers on stage were not hooked up to microphones. By doing this, I found that it was very hard to hear them speak because the performers could not project their voices loud enough to clearly understand what they were saying. Secondly, I felt that the “unsex me” speech by Lady Macbeth was not executed as well as it should have been. The speech in the book is arguably one of the most powerful parts in the whole play and needs to be said with a lot of emotion. Having said that,...

...On Friday, October 30, 2015, I attended the Dance TCU Concert that was held on the campus of TCU in Ed Landreth Hall. All of the performers for this recital were students of the TCU School for Classical and Contemporary Dance. The recital was comprised of six modern, contemporary, and ballet dances that included very unique styles of dances movements. Overall, the recital had a light-hearted theatrical feel that was innovative, unorthodox, and detailed-oriented. For the purpose of this critique, I will discuss the various elements in four particular dances: they are Giselle Act II, Olivers and Kefi, Murmuration of Stars, and Tychtrip. The previous dances collectively represent the overall message the recital was trying to portray that allows...

...In the history of western society, women constantly struggled to be free from the degradation and forced submission which is accurately portrayed by the performance of (Re)Singing from the Underspace from the play Fall for Dance. Fall for Dance is a collection of works choreographed by David Parsons, Robert Battle, Andy Noble, and Charles O. Anderson. The first of the collection, (Re)Singing from the Underspace, is motivated by feminist critiques of womanhood in the western society and contradicts the western society by demonstrating non-western imagery. The performers were dressed in blue, white, and black dresses as they danced contemporary or lyrical style to modern music. Although all of the dresses were the same general style, they each had a unique difference to emphasize individualism within women. The play used front lighting to illuminate every woman, implying that society shouldn't leave anybody out. A fourth wall existed between the cast and the audience. The cast seemed to dance without caring about the audience's existence. Throughout this first performance, there was one main performer. Sometimes she would express her own movements, while other times, she would join the other performers. The music had lyrics stating the conditions of the women. At one point, the music seemed dark and listed words such as, "Servant, bitch, Jezebel, whore..." When the music arrived at this part, the movements of the performers would be sharp, rather than fluent. The girls seemed...
