...For my career development research project I decided to shadow Candice Jackson (College of Charleston Women’s Basketball Head Coach), Amanda Taylor (Athletic Trainer for Women’s Basketball at the College of Charleston), and Marc Pronto (Strength and Conditioning Coach for both Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams at the College of Charleston). I selected job shadowing because it is a very useful activity that allows a person to explore a career that they are interested in by spending time with a professional working in that field. It provided me more insight rather than just reading a job description or even asking an employee to describe what they do. While job shadowing, I was able to ask questions and experience the trials, triumphs, and normal day-to-day activities that Marc Pronto, Candice Jackson, and Amanda Taylor might experience while working in their jobs. I was able to experience how the professional approaches the job, the necessary social cooperation, standard operating procedures, and the tools that I need in order to perform the job successfully. Normally, job shadowing usually lasts only a day, but in...

None of the training programmers can be considered successful and effective without its evaluation. Training evaluation helps in knowing the loopholes of the programs or “why was the program not as effective as it was predicted to be?” Training evaluation can be done at any of the different time span ranging from start of the training program or when the training is half way through or when the training has just ended or even after few months of completion. This can be done with or without control groups. There are generally four parties which are interested in evaluation of training effectiveness. These are trainer, trainees, Training and Development department and the managers of the trainees. Any of the evaluation methods like benefit Analysis, observation, role play, survey, Examinations &tests, projects, etc., can be undertaken depending upon certain actors like cost, time, urgency and situation.

The trainers Donna Rinaldi, Rich Evans, and Tammy Booth are convinced that they can profitably operate their own club. They believe that the growing population in this age range, combined with strong consumer interest in the health benefits of physical activity, would support the new venture. In addition to many other decisions, they need to determine the type of business organization that they want to form: incorporate as a corporation or form a partnership. Rich believes there are more advantages to the corporate form than a partnership, but he has not convinced Donna and Tammy of this. The three (3) have come to you, a small-business consulting specialist, seeking information and advice regarding the appropriate choice of formation for their business. They are considering both the partnership and corporation formation options. Assume the trainers determine that forming a corporation is the best option.

...Dieting in America: An Unhealthy Habit Joshua Keith Gary DeVry University English 135 February 24, 2012 Tara Houston Dieting in America: An Unhealthy Habit Every year millions of Americans make a New Year’s resolution to begin a strict diet to lose weight and be healthier. Every year, many of those same people chose a one-size-fits-all fad diet and flunk out with in just a few short months, with some calling it quits within weeks. The truth is there is no such thing as the perfect diet for all consumers, yet we still follow the media, celebrities, and coworkers down the road of the most popular fad diet that promises the quickest gains. In the end we spend billions of dollars on these diets and all the accessories that come with them, such as expensive gym memberships and hyped up supplements, and the results are minimal at best. Dieting in America has become a mainstream, profit generating habit that can be unhealthy and costly; educating the public on alternative eating habits and supplemental lifestyle choices can lead to healthier individuals and outweigh the marginal benefits of dieting alone. American’s are competitive by nature, and never want to be left behind. Mainstream dieting has been around for decades, growing more and more popular as our ways to reach out to more consumers grow. I can remember being a child, listening to my mother and aunts discuss New Year’s resolutions that always included dieting. Back then we only had the evening news...

...Final Research Project Critical Issues of Training Needs Analysis in Small Organizations BUS 680 Training and Development Dr. Gertrude I Hewapathirana Introduction of the topic Training sessions can be tailored to see the needs of small business as well as large corporations. Trainings should provide content seen to be relevant to improving the operation of the business. Effective training sessions more clearly allow management to perceive the potential benefits of training and even have them more inclined to participate in training. “If the training methods are structured to fit the learning styles and approaches preferred by small business managers we would expect a higher level of learning and greater satisfaction with the learning process to occur,” (Jeffery, Hide &Legg, 2010). Companies today are no longer conducting training needs analysis (TNA). They are no longer discussing the benefits of TNA. It appears in today’s society, “the world move so fast that people don't really ask the TNA questions anymore - they just jump to an answer....?” (Martin, ed.) Not conducting TNA has presented itself as a critical issue of training needs analysis for small organizations. Abstract As long as the company is growing, an organizations training needs are never ending. Critical issues of training needs analysis are often more apparent within smaller organizations. A training needs analysis (TNA) is one of the...

...mode of communication among Malaysian bilingual speakers. It occurs in both formal and informal contexts of communication. Empirical research has shown that the practice of alternating or mixing languages is not only common, but serves important communication strategies (Heller, 1992; Myers-Scotton, 1992). This study examines the purposes of code-switching and how it is used to achieve the speakers’ communicative intents in Bahasa Melayu (BM)-English bilingual conversations Data were collected through audio-recording of speakers’ speech during organizational training sessions. The data were analyzed according to the situations that triggered the code-switching. The findings show that speakers employed code-switching to organize, enhance and enrich their speech. Keywords: code-switching, discourse functions, communication device Introduction Code-switching, which may be defined as the alternation between two or more languages in a speaker’s speech, occurs naturally in the scheme of bilinguality. Studies have reported that code-switching often happened subconsciously; ‘people may not be aware that they have switched, or be able to report, following a conversation, which code they used for a particular topic’ (Wardaugh, 1998, p. 103). However, although bilingual speakers claim that code-switching is an unconscious behavior, research has also shown that it is not a random phenomenon. As attested by Li Wei (1998, p. 156), Sociolinguistics who have studied code...

...The Uses of Simulation in the Military Week 1, Research Paper Simulation has been a part of the military for almost as long as war has been around. However the types of simulations that we use today are a modern invention. Generals have been creating and testing strategies in simulation for a long time. Today we have the technology to create virtual representations of a battle zones stocked with geographical landscapes, both hostile and non-hostile NPCs (non-playable characters) and controllable entities acting as the various soldiers and vehicles. Simulation is a great and a necessary tool for training your soldiers and winning the war, the most important of these simulations are wargames, field exercises and flight training. One of the oldest types of simulation in the military are Wargames. A wargame generally is a type of game or simulation that is designed to expose a player to concepts and aspects of war (University of Virginia, 1999). Wargames would have started at the time of the first organized war (University of Virginia, 1999). These games were most likely picking an action then taking that action testing it and then tweaking the plan to make it better (University of Virginia, 1999). Generals used this setting for many years, allowing them to come up with better strategies, therefor winning more battles. In 7th century India there was a wargame called Chaturanga, Chaturanga in many aspects is much like the game chess which is often played today. In the game each...

...The purpose of this critical thinking paper is to research the personal impact of a patient living with a chronic disease. For the purposes of this paper we will be interviewing Bill, a forty-three year old male who was diagnosed with diabetes when he was twenty-seven years old. I have obtained verbal release of patient information from Bill, and for the purposes of this paper, have changed his and his family’s name to observe privacy. In this paper I will be interviewing Bill and his family to research their personal impact regarding Bills diabetes diagnosis and the effect it has had in their life. Bill and Linda were married for five years before he found out he had diabetes. They had one child, a daughter named Courtney, who was two at the time. Bill had symptoms of increased thirst (polydipsia), increased urination (polyuria), fatigue, and noticed a few cuts he had on his hands were taking a long time to heal. He says he was afraid to go to the doctor because of a family history of diabetes, so he put it off for a few months. His wife, Linda recalls how hard it was to convince him to finally make a doctors appointment, she states “I knew he thought I was complaining and nagging all the time, but I wanted him to see how important it was for him to get the right treatment, especially if it was diabetes, I want him to be able to manage it so he can still be here for his family.” Bill finally made a doctors appointment and after running a few lab tests, along with his symptoms...
