I am happy to look at drafts of the outlines. Your deadline to submit a draft is Thursday, December 12 at noon.

Two of the following six questions will appear on the exam. You will have to choose only ONE. Plan to allocate around 45/60 minutes to respond to this question. Write the outline at home, read it several times to make sure it discusses all the relevant material and become very familiar with it. Try to use examples from the sources discussed in class, the readings, and the lectures. 1- “The course of events in the Western Hemisphere over the centuries following contact demonstrates that the Iberian factor in early Latin America was uniform and the result of long term processes. The native peoples and the resources of their lands were the primary determinants of differentiation.” In an integrated essay, discuss this statement with special emphasis on the long term processes, “uniformity” of the Iberian experience, the “diversity” of native peoples, the reasons for the conquest success and its consequences. In order to prepare for this essay you may want to consider at least (but not only) the following questions: Why did the Iberians come to Latin America? What did they find in Latin America? How did the Latin American circumstances shape the conquest? How and where did the Iberians develop a “conquest strategy?” What explains the conquest success? What were the consequences of the conquest? 2- “After the conquest epoch, the Spanish Indies experienced a long time of relative stability and slow evolution. During this period, the conditions created by the conquest had entered into certain equilibrium with some rather uniform hallmarks such as a centralized political and economic administration and a distinctive and hierarchical social structure. The eighteenth century altered this pattern profoundly.” Critically analyze the statement focusing on the stability of political and economic institutions, the ethnic hierarchy, and the changes that resulted from the Bourbon reforms.

While the term Founding Fathers is used a great deal, one must note that there was a general sense of agreement on the need for a new government and country, but there were differences in their political ideologies. Some Founding Fathers were for a more powerful federal government, while others were more focused on state powers. The point to be made here is that the Founding Fathers were not an ideologically unified group of people. The Founding Fathers had a vision of making America a melting pot, but the path of setting up a different style of government had many trials and tribulations. After many obstacles were overcome, the United States was formed under the political structure of a democratic republic, which is mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance. In this unit, the thoughts and strategies behind the founding of the United States and the ideas and principles utilized to create the Constitution will be examined. In the Beginning What is politics? What part do citizens have in the political process? The United States has a political culture that began during Colonial times and was refined during the Revolutionary War. When the colonists declared their independence from Great Britain, the Founding Fathers declared.

CASE STUDY 2.1: W. L. Gore and Associates He was ready for anything—or so he thought. Dressed in his finest and armed with an MBA degree fresh off the press, Jack Dougherty walked in for his first day of work at Newark, Delaware–based W. L. Gore and Associates, the global fluoropolymer technology and manufacturing giant that is best known as the maker of Gore-Tex. But it turned out he wasn’t ready for this: “Why don’t you look around and find something you’d like to do,” founder and CEO Bill Gore said to him after a quick introduction. Although many things have changed over the course of W. L. Gore and Associates’ 50+ years in business, the late Gore stuck to his principles regarding organizational structure (or lack thereof), a legacy he passed down to subsequent generations of management. Gore wasn’t fond of thick layers of formal management, which he believed smothered individual creativity. According to Gore, “A lattice (flat) organization is one that involves direct transactions, self-commitment, natural leadership, and lacks assigned or assumed authority.” In the 1930s, Gore received a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and a master’s degree in physical chemistry. During his career, he worked on a team to develop applications for polytetraflurothylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon. Through this experience, Gore discovered a sense of excited commitment, personal fulfillment, and self-direction, which he yearned to share with others. Spending nights tinkering in his own workshop, he did what he had previously thought to be impossible: he created a PTFE-coated ribbon cable. It occurred to Gore that he might be able to start his own business producing his invention, so he left his stable career of 17 years, borrowed money, and drained his savings. Though his friends advised him against taking such a risk, W. L. Gore and Associates was born in January 1958. The basement of the Gore home was the company’s first facility. Although no longer operating from a family basement (Gore boasts more than $3 billion in annual sales and 9,000 employees in more than 45 facilities worldwide), the sense of informality has stuck. “It absolutely is less efficient upfront,” said Terri Kelly, chief executive of W. L. Gore. (Her title is one of the few at the company.) “[But] once you have the organization behind it . . . the buy-in and the execution happens quickly,” she added. Structure and Management of Unstructure and Unmanagement Even as Gore started to grow, the company continued to resist titles and hierarchy. It had no mission statement, no ethics statement, and no conventional structures typical of companies of the same size. The only formal titles were “chief executive” and “secretary-treasurer”—those required by law for corporations. There were also no rules that business units within the company couldn’t create such structures, and so some of them did create their own mission statements and such. Many called Gore’s management style “unmanag.

Case Study 1 Case Study 1 Ms. A. is an apparently healthy 26-year-old white woman. Since the beginning of the current golf season, Ms. A has noted increased shortness of breath and low levels of energy and enthusiasm. These symptoms seem worse during her menses. Today, while playing in a golf tournament at a high, mountainous course, she became light-headed and was taken by her golfing partner to the emergency clinic. The attending physician’s notes indicated a temperature of 98 degrees F, an elevated heart rate and respiratory rate, and low blood pressure. Ms. A states, “Menorrhagia and dysmenorrheal have been a problem for 10-12 years, and I take 1,000 mg of aspirin every 3 to 4 hours for 6 days during menstruation.” During the summer months, while playing golf, she also takes aspirin to avoid “stiffness in my joints.” Laboratory values are as follows: Hemoglobin = 8 g/dl Hematocrit = 32% Erythrocyte count = 3.1 x 10/mm RBC smear showed microcytic and hypochromic cells Reticulocyte count = 1.5% Other laboratory values were within normal limits. Question Considering the circumstances and the preliminary workup, what type of anemia does Ms. A most likely have? In an essay of 500-750 words, explain your answer and include rationale. In a short essay (500-750 words), answer the Question at the end of Case Study 1. Cite references to support your positions. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. You are required to submit this assignment to TURNITIN © 2013. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. Client System Analysis PowerPoint Guidelines Select a client system for beginning problem analysis. This can be an individual, couple, family, small treatment group, or community task group. Limited contact—i.e. 1-2 encounters with the client system—is acceptable and expected, since this is your first semester in your field placement. Client description and engagement: Briefly describe your client system. Date of interview, name, address, age, gender, ethnicity, religion, marital status and history, referral source, etc. Caution: Remember confidentiality: Do not use the client's real name and disguise any other identifying information. · Source of data: Include the individual(s) who provided information and reason for the report. What brought the person to treatment at this time? (A person does not come to treatment because they have been depressed for nine months. They come to treatment because they have reached the end of their rope. What was that precipitating event?). Hint: Write this from the client's perspective, e.g., "Mr. Jones reports that" or "Sammy state that"...to maintain objectivity and report the source of information. · Client History: Include chronological developmental history including all major events from prenatal to present. Include information on: Medical and psychiatric history; intelle.

I have been taking Maximum Strength Robitussin for my cough but it has not helped very much. When I woke up this morning. I felt very weak so I came in to be checked out." Her vital signs are blood pressure 110/70, pulse 94, respiratory rate of 28, and temperature of 102.7 F. Her oxygen saturation on room air is 92%. She is placed on 2 liters (L) of oxygen by nasal cannula. The HCP prescribes a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) and chest X-ray (CXR). Laboratory tests prescribed include complete blood count (CBC), basic metabolic panel (BMP), brain natriuretic peptide (B-type natriuretic peptide assay or BNP), total creatine kinase (CK, CPK), creatine kinase-MB (CPK-MB), and troponin. The HCP will also assess blood cultures x 2, AGs on room air, sputum culture and sensitivity (C &S), and asks that the client have a Mantoux (tuberculin, purified protein derivative, or PPD) test. Case Study Mrs. Harriet's ECG shows normal sinus rhythm (NSR) with a heart rate of 98 beats per minute. The CXR reveals a right lower lobe(RLL) infiltrate. Laboratory tests include the following results: white blood cell cot (WBC) 12,2000 cells/mm3, 72& seg neutrophils with a left shift of 11% bands, and a BNP of 50.9 pg/mL. ABGs on room air is pH 7.44, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) 39 mmHg, bicarbonate (HCO3) 26.9 mEq/L, partial pressures of oxygen (PaO2) 58 mmHg, and oxygen saturation (SaO2) of 92%. Results of the sputum culture show Streptococcus pneumoniae. The CPK, CPK-MB, and troponin are all within normal limits. Mrs. Harriet is five feet three inches tall and weighs 224 pounds (101.8 kg). On assessment, the nurse hears expiratory wheezes and rhonchi bilaterally with diminished lung sounds in the right base. Her thoracic (chest) expansion is equal but slightly decreased on inspiration. Accessory muscle retraction is not noted, and she does exhibit central cyanosis. The capillary refill of the client's nail beds is four seconds. Mrs. Harrier is admitted with acute bronchitis and pneumonia. The HCP prescribes oxygen via nasal cannula to keep the client's saturations greater or equal to 95%, Ceftriaxone sodium, Erythromycin, Albuterol, Acetaminophen every four to six hours as needed, bed rest, an 1800 calorie diet, increased oral (PO) fluid intake to 2 to 4 liters per day, coughing and deep breathing exercises and use of the incentive spirometer (IS). 1. Discuss additional assessment data that would help gain a more thorough understanding or Mrs. Harriet's symptoms? 2. Discuss the causes, pathophysiology, and symptoms of acute bronchitis? 3. Discuss the pathophysiology and causes of pneumonia in general? 4. Compare the defining characteri.

Case Study 11.1: Why the Circus No Longer Comes to Town For 146 years, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus traveled the United States by train, putting on shows featuring acrobats, trapeze artists, clowns, and exotic animals. In 2017, the circus held its last performances after a significant decline in attendance and revenue due to changing public tastes. Shorter attention spans also contributed to its demise. The final blow to the circus came from its decision to eliminate elephant acts. According to a press release from Feld Entertainment, the company that owned the circus, this move led to a “greater than could have been anticipated” decline in ticket sales.1 For decades the American Humane Society, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), and other animal rights groups tried to ban elephant acts in Ringling Brothers performances. Protesters regularly picketed the circus, and for 14 years animal rights groups fought Ringling Brothers in court. Activists claimed that elephant acts were cruel and pointed out that these highly intelligent animals were chained up much of their lives. In 2011, Feld Entertainment was fined $270,000 for violations of the Animal Welfare Act. However, Feld Entertainment successfully fended off the lawsuits, winning a $24 million judgment against the animal rights groups in 2014. Nonetheless, Ringling Brothers agreed to retire all traveling elephants to its Center for Elephant Conservation in Florida that same year. (During this same period, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Asheville, North Carolina, restricted animal acts.) Animal rights groups cheered the closing of the circus. According to PETA’s president, “PETA heralds the end of what has been the saddest show on earth for wild animals, and asks all other animal circuses to follow suit, as this is a sign of changing times.”2 The CEO of the United States Humane Society said, “I applaud their decision to move away from an institution grounded on inherently inhumane wild animal acts.”3 CEO Kenneth Feld acknowledged that the negative publicity generated by the lawsuits took its toll: “We prevailed in court 100% [but] obviously, in the court of public opinion we didn’t win.”4 Ringling Brothers/Feld Entertainment isn’t the only company that has had to deal with changing societal attitudes toward animals. For decades killer whales were the major attraction at SeaWorld parks in San Diego, Orlando, and San Antonio. However, the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau, who was dragged into the water and drowned by Sea World’s largest breeding male, Tilikum (“Tilly”), galvanized opposition to captive orca programs. The film Blackfish documented the death of Brancheau and whale mistreatment. Matt Damon, Harry Styles, Willie Nelson, and other celebrities joined the protest. Animal activists noted that orcas (which are really large dolphins) never kill humans in the wild. In captivity, young killer whales are separated from their families and are forced to live thei.

Case Study 10.3: Regulating Love at the Office The office has become a hotbed of romance. In one survey, 60% of employees surveyed reported that they had participated in an office romance during their careers and 64% said they would do so again. And the percentage of workplace romances is likely to climb as younger workers (ages 25 to 34) put in more hours at work. As one human resource writer notes: Traditional places like church, family events, and leisure time don’t present the same pool of candidates as they did in earlier times. The workplace provides a preselected pool of people who share at least one important area of common ground. People who work together also tend to live within a reasonable dating distance, and they see each other on a daily basis.1 Office romances can pose a number of problems, including a loss of productivity, public displays of affection, gossip, damage to the professional image of the organization, charges of favoritism, and affairs in cases where romantic partners already have spouses or significant others. Serious issues arise when superiors and subordinates date and then break up. The subordinate (often a young female assistant) may claim that she was sexually harassed because she was pressured into having sex to keep her job or that her supervisor (often an older male executive) retaliated when the relationship ended. The nation was reminded of the dangers of superior–subordinate relationships when former late-night talk show host David Letterman admitted that he’d had a series of sexual relationships with female writers and staffers at his production company. Letterman went public with his affairs after a CBS producer who dated his long-term girlfriend, Stephanie Birkett, tried to extort money from the entertainer in return for keeping silent about his sexual activities. While Letterman’s relationships were consensual, it appeared as if the women he dated received special benefits. For example, Birkitt was featured in broadcast segments even though she did not seem to be particularly talented. Human resource departments are taking note of the dangers of office romances. The number of companies developing written policies to address office romances rose from 20% to 42% over an eight-year period, according to the Society of Human Resource Management. And the policies grew stricter. Almost all the firms surveyed by SHRM forbid romantic relationships between superiors and subordinates; one-third forbid relationships between those reporting to the same supervisor or with a client or customer; 10% don’t allow romances between their employees and employees of competitors. Punishments range from minimal (relationship counseling and department transfers) to severe (suspension and termination). Executives at the American Red Cross, the World Bank, Walmart, Boeing, and the Harvard Business Review lost their jobs for having relationships with subordinates. Not everyone is convinced that restrictions on dating are just.

Case Study 1: Is Business Ready for Wearable Computers? Wearable computing is starting to take off. Smartwatches, smart glasses, smart ID badges, and activity trackers promise to change how we go about each day and the way we do our jobs. According to Gartner Inc., sales of wearables will increase from 275 million units in 2016 to 477 million units by 2020. Although smartwatches such as the Apple Watch and fitness trackers have been successful consumer products, business uses for wearables appear to be advancing more rapidly. A report from research firm Tractica projects that worldwide sales for enterprise wearables will increase exponentially to 66.4 million units by 2021. Doctors and nurses are using smart eyewear for hands-free access to patients’ medical records. Oil rig workers sport smart helmets to connect with land-based experts, who can view their work remotely and communicate instructions. Warehouse managers are able to capture real-time performance data using a smartwatch to better manage distribution and fulfillment operations. Wearable computing devices improve productivity by delivering information to workers without requiring them to interrupt their tasks, which in turn empowers employees to make more-informed decisions more quickly. Wearable devices are helping businesses learn more about employees and the everyday workplace than ever before. New insights and information can be uncovered as IoT sensor data is correlated to actual human behavior. Information on task duration and the proximity of one device or employee to another, when combined with demographic data, can shed light on previously unidentified workflow inefficiencies. Technologically sophisticated firms will understand things they never could before about workers and customers; what they do every day, how healthy they are, where they go, and even how well they feel. This obviously has implications for protecting individual privacy, raising potential employee (and customer) fears that businesses are collecting sensitive data about them. Businesses will need to tread carefully. Global logistics company DHL worked with Ricoh, the imaging and electronics company, and Ubimax, a wearable computing services and solutions company, to implement “vision picking” in its warehouse operations. Location graphics are displayed on smart glasses guiding staffers through the warehouse to both speed the process of finding items and reduce errors. The company says the technology delivered a 25 percent increase in efficiency. Vision picking gives workers locational information about the items they need to retrieve and allows them to automatically scan retrieved items. Future enhancements will enable the system to plot optimal routes through the warehouse, provide pictures of items to be retrieved (a key aid in case an item has been misplaced on the warehouse shelves), and instruct workers on loading carts and pallets more efficiently. Google has developed Glass Enterprise Edition smar.

CASE STUDY - THE SOCIAL NETWORK The growing use of social network sites (such as Facebook) and online communities (such as for instance the Apple Computer community, the community of Harley-Davidson riders, and the community of Starbucks customers) provides exciting opportunities for organizations. Online brand communities allow organizations to engage and interact with customers, obtain market information, sell and advertise products, rapidly disseminate information, develop long-term relationships with the community, and eventually to influence consumers’ preferences and behavior (Dholakia and Bagozzi, 2001, Dholakia, Bagozzi, and Pearo, 2004, Franke and Shah, 2003, Muniz and Schau, 2005, Tedjamulia, Olsen, Dean, and Albrecht, 2005). “Brand community” is a term that is used to describe likeminded consumers who identify with a particular brand and share significant traits, such as for instance “a shared consciousness, rituals, traditions, and a sense of moral responsibility” (Muniz and O’Guinn, 2001, p. 412). Online brand communities are based on their core value - the brand- and grow by building relationships with and among members interested in the brand (Jang et al. 2008). There are several possible categorizations of online brand communities, but they are generally grouped into two categories based on who initiates and manages the community; (1) company-initiated communities, built by the company that owns the brand and (2) userinitiated communities, voluntarily built by their members (that is, the consumer) (e.g., Armstrong and Hagel 1996; Kozinets 1999). These two types of brand communities provide different opportunities for marketers. For instance, a brand community on a company website is one of the key determinants of attracting consumers to and retaining customers on the website (Nysveen and Pedersen, 2004). Consumer-initiated online brand communities may provide consumers with useful information about other consumers’ experiences with the product or service and the strengths and weaknesses of products or services (Jang et al. 2008). The success of online brand communities is heavily dependent on consumer participation in the online brand community. To determine why consumers participate in online brand communities business student Jesse Eisenberg has developed a model based on extant service marketing literature. The main idea in this literature is that perceived value and satisfaction are antecedents of the intention to use a product or service (Anderson, Fornell, and Lehmann 1994; Bolton and Drew 1991; Grönroos 1990; Hocutt 1998; Kang, Lee, and Choi 2007; Ravald and Grönroos 1996). Jesse wants to apply this idea to consumer participation in online brand communities. According to Jesse, “members will probably be satisfied with an online brand community and have the intention to participate in the community when they derive value from the community. Therefore it is important to know which values.

Case Study #1: Probation or Prison? Write a 1/2 to one page (150–275 words) response in which you answer the three questions that follow the case study below: You could have been in the same situation yourself. Instead, it is Mary Lee Smith, one of your probationers, who is about to stand before the judge in a probation revocation hearing. When you and your husband split 10 years ago, you had two children and eventually had to declare bankruptcy and accept food stamps to be able to pay the rent. After seven years working as a secretary at the nearby state juvenile corrections center, receiving constant encouragement from Mrs. Jones, the superintendent, and taking advantage of a criminal justice scholarship program, you finished a degree in administration of justice and qualified for an entry-level position with the community resources division of the state department of corrections. You advanced as the system grew, and now, three years later, you are a probation supervisor in Judge Longworth's court. In a way, Mary Lee is as much a victim as she is an offender. Married at seventeen, she quit high school and moved west with her husband who was in the army. By the time she was twenty, she had two children and was divorced. With babysitters to pay and skills that would command no more than minimum wage, Mary Lee turned to such income supplements as shoplifting, bad check writing, and occasionally prostitution. Her check-passing skills developed rapidly, and it was not long before she had amassed a series of convictions, not to mention several lesser offenses for petty larceny that were disposed of by the prosecutor's declaration of nolle prosequi . To date, Mary Lee has not served a day in prison. Judge Longworth has used admonition, restitution, suspended sentence, and probation to rehabilitate Mary Lee. However, Mary Lee's criminal conduct has persisted, as has her inability to stretch her food stamps, welfare payments, and part-time minimum-wage employment into a satisfactory existence for herself and her children. To complicate the matter, the welfare safety net that had helped keep Mary Lee and her children afloat would cease to exist for her within 24 months. Judge Longworth has called you into his chambers before the hearing. He read your violation report with interest. You pointed out Mary Lee's family obligations and the imminent possibility that the children would have to be placed in foster homes if she were confined. You also pointed out that she has been faithful in making restitution and that she maintains a steady church relationship and a good home environment for her children. Although your report is fair and accurate, you realize that the judge has sensed your misgivings and uncertainty concerning Mary Lee. Judge Longworth looks up from your report and comes directly to the point. "Do you really believe this woman deserves to go back into the community? You certainly seem to have found some redeeming features in her cond.

Case Studies of Data Warehousing Failures Four studies of data warehousing failures are presented. They were written based on interviews with people who were associated with the projects. The extent of the failure varies with the organization, but in all cases, the project was at least a disappointment. Read the cases and prepare a report that provides a substantive discussion on each of the following: 1. What’s the scope of what can be considered a data warehousing failure? 2. What do you find most interesting in the failure stories? 3. Do they provide any insights about how a failure might be avoided? Your discussion should be at least 2 pages in length with 1.5” spacing & 1” margins. Case Study 1: Auto Guys Auto Guys initiated a data warehousing project four years ago but it never achieved full usage. After initial support for the project eroded, management revisited their motives for the warehouse and decided to restart the project with a few changes. One reason for the restructuring, according to the project manager, was the complexity of the model initially employed by Auto Guys. At first, the planner for the data warehouse wanted to use a dimensional model for tabular information. But political pressure forced the system’s early use. Consequently, mainframe data was largely replicated and these tables did not work well with the managed query environment tools that were acquired. The number of tables and joins, and subsequent catalog growth, prevented Auto Guys from using data as it was intended in a concise and coherent business format. The project manager also indicated that the larger the data warehouse, the greater the need for high-level management support – something Auto Guys lacked on their first attempt at setting up the warehouse. Another problem mentioned by the project manager was that the technology Auto Guys chose for the project was relatively new at the time, so it was not accepted and did not garner the confidence that a project using proven technology would have received. This is a risk inherent in any “cutting edge” technology adoption. The initial abandonment of the project was undoubtedly hastened by both corporate discomfort with this new technology and the lack of top management support. A short time after dropping the project, top management felt pressure to reestablish it. Because Auto Guys initially planned an enterprise-wide warehouse, they had considerable computer capacity. It was put to use on a much smaller project that focused exclusively on a single subject area. Other subject areas were due to be added once the initial subject area project was completed. Auto Guys expects to grow the warehouse to two terebytes within a year or two and eventually expand to their projected enterprise-wide data warehouse. The biggest difference between pre- and post-resurrection will be that the project will evolve incrementally. Given his experience with the warehouse, the project manager made the following summary .

Case Studies Guidelines What is a Case Study: Case studies are stories. They are formatted in such a way that at a glance one could easily determine the “issue” about to be discussed. We look to clearly address the who, what, where, when, why and how to ensure that we have covered the story in its entirety. If you miss one of these factors, you leave the reader guessing and questioning your report. In public policy & administration our case studies/stories are required to be fact based. Make sure your research is based on credible information. Verify, verify, verify. Make a mistake and/or be challenged on one of your “facts”, could create a host of issues. If you are found to be incorrect, the entire report is incorrect and your credibility is suspect. Cite your research appropriately. We call it an issue rather than a “problem” because a problem presents a negative image/connotation. Issues are not necessarily negative and provides the policy analyst with an opportunity to evaluate each issue based on its own merits without taking a position of negative or positive. What Does a Case Study Look Like: A case study should set up similar to story-telling. Do not write this as you would a thesis. You don’t want to put in a lot of “fluff & stuff”. Think of the reader as a high level administrator whose in-box is full of documents that require review. To catch this administrator’s attention, consider what he/she would be concerned with. The “issue” clearly delineated, then the people involved “stakeholders”, the positions (where one stands depends upon where one sits), of these people/perspectives” of the stakeholders and then a fact based well thought out “recommendation”. Use the first paragraph or two to set the tone for the issue under consideration. Once you have the reader’s attention then you are prepared to move onto your 4-step policy analyses. Why a 4-Step Policy Analysis: We use the four-step policy analysis because of its simplicity and its thoroughness. There are plenty of other models, some with seven-steps and others with ten-steps. It is not the number of steps that makes a case study. It is the report itself that stands on merit. Do not change the language of the 4-steps or add other language, as new headings could change the report and its intent. It is vital that you understand this foundation as it will be used throughout your baccalaureate curriculum. Learning to use this in both your professional and personal lives will help you with your decision making in a variety of ways. How Do I Begin: Case studies are complex and may contain a myriad of issues, stakeholders, etc. It is your job to select one issue and then to stay on course as you work through your critical thinking and 4-step policy analysis. Do not say there are “many” issues as this may confuse the reader of leave him/her questioning why you chose one issue over another. Chose one…. How Should the Final Case Study Paper Set Up: Use APA format when c.

Case Studies: Focusing on Fluency Strategies Case Scenario 1 Student: Mary Age: 8.6 Grade: 3rd Mary is a third grader at a small private school. It is the beginning of the second semester of the school year and assessment data show that Mary is still having difficulty with decoding multi-syllable words, as are many of her classmates. The students are struggling with an important reading skill that will be assessed at the end of the school year and will be important for success in the following years. Mr. Bounds, Mary’s teacher, has decided to implement strategies each day that will assist all of his students, Mary included, in reaching the following goal: Given multi-syllable words, students will decode them accurately and with ease. Case Scenario 2 Student: Emma Age: 8.4 Grade: 3rd Emma is a shy third grader who is struggling in all academic subjects that require significant reading. Assessment data show that Emma is able to read all sight words and decode most of the multi-syllable words she encounters. However, Emma’s fluency is not at the level of most third graders. This might be because Emma appears to have a low self-concept. Emma reads aloud very softly and slowly, often waiting to speak a word until she is sure she can pronounce it correctly. Because Mr. Haywood, her teacher, believes that Emma has the needed skills to improve her fluency, he has decided to implement a strategy that will help Emma reach her goal, which is: Given reading passages at the third-grade level, Emma will read fluently. Case Scenario 3 Student: Daniel Age: 8.8 Grade: 3rd Daniel is a quiet third grader who is naturally organized and thrives on structure. Daniel’s mother reports that he tends to be focused on tasks, even in play. He is diligent with academic tasks, and especially enjoys hands-on science activities. When reading aloud in class, Daniel is able to read all sight words and decode most multi-syllable words he encounters. However, Daniel’s fluency is not at the level of most third graders. He is a word-by-word reader and does not read with proper tone or expression, but has the skills needed to become a fluent, expressive reader. Daniel’s teacher has decided to implement strategies that will help him reach his goal, which is: Given readings at the third-grade level, Daniel will read fluently.

Case Number 7 Student’s Name Institution Affiliation Case Number 7. The case of physician do not heal thyself Questions 1. Have you recently engaged in risky behaviors such as binge eating, unsafe sex, gambling, drug and substance abuse, or risky driving? 1. How would you describe your relationships with people such as your spouse, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and strangers while considering aspects of anger, irritability, and violence? 1. Do you have a recurring problem of variant moods that result to interpersonal stress, feeling of emptiness, and other challenges that are stress-related and they push you towards suicidal thoughts? People to speak to It is crucial to identify the right people to provide essential details for the assessment of the patient. Some of the most important people include the spouses, siblings, family friends, personal friends, and neighbors. Furthermore, the patient’s colleagues can provide important information regarding the behaviors of the patient and help in identifying issues that the patient could be hiding. Speaking to the people to whom the patient exercises authority is important in attaining the true image of the person. Physical exam and diagnostic test The disorder is mental, but it can be assessed through physical exams that indicate how the brain is working in relation to actions ( Stahl 2013). Fixing a puzzle would be an effective way of testing the patient and how stable they can be. The other approach is engaging the patient in a physical exercise and observing their participation. Physical exams provide a diagnostic insight to test how the patient relates with others. Diagnoses Personality Disorder Mood Disorder Depression with psychotic features Pharmacological agents Application of antidepressants Use of antipsychotics Administering mood-stabilizing drugs Contradictions or Alterations It is a complex situation to treat a complex and long-term unstable disorder of mood because the patients experience different emotions even during therapy (Yasuda & Huang 2008). It becomes difficult to separate mood disorder from personality disorder especially for difficult patient like in this case. Furthermore, there are no specific drugs that can be used for treatment without additional therapy since this patient is able to adjust or play with their own treatment as a physician. The mental condition observed in the patient requires a careful approach due to the delicate situations involving suicidal thoughts and aggression. Lessons Learned In the case study “The case of physician do not heal thyself,” the lessons include the importance of conducting a complete assessment of the patient and including other people who interact with the patient. It would be more effective to treat such conditions if the patients had stable emotions, but strategic approaches can help to streamline the treatment process ( Stahl 2014b). References Stahl, S. M.

Case number #10 OVERVIEW Abstract In this case, a local chapter of a national nonprofit organization continuously struggles with funding and must, therefore, be proactive in seeking out additional revenue sources. The local coordinator encounters a situation involving a potential donor that forces her to weigh the pros and cons of breaking the rules and the best way to communicate her concerns to her superiors and the donor. A chance meeting on a flight leads to a potential conflict-of-interest situation for the local coordinator. Main Topics Decision making, Ethics Secondary Topic Communication, Intergovernmental affairs* Teaching Purpose To discuss the complexities involved in balancing personal and organizational responsibilities within the framework of a nonprofit organization. The Organization ReadNow is a nonprofit program that promotes early literacy by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud in pediatric exam rooms across the nation. * Main Characters: • Michael Vaughn, Executive Vice President of Johnson Hospital • Dr. Lea Nelson, Head of National ReadNow • Patricia Clay, Local ReadNow Coordinator • Molly Carter, Tillingast Foundation employee • Dr. Katie Nelson, ReadNow Local Director BACKGROUND In 1962, a group of doctors at a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, were brain-storming ways to increase early childhood literacy and parent– parent– child interactions among their patients. One doctor had the idea of distributing children's books to their patients during checkups, accompanied by advice to the parents about the importance of reading aloud to their children. From this modest beginning, ReadNow developed into a national, nonprofit organization that distributes books and early literacy guidance to more than 2.5 million children and their families. ReadNow has offices all over the United States and is currently supported in part through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. ReadNow opened a branch in Crown City, Michigan, in August with a partnership between the National ReadNow and the Johnson Children's Medical Center. One of the founders, Dr. Mark Jeffries, still active within ReadNow, approached Dr. Katie Nelson, a pediatrician at Johnson Hospital with the opportunity to bring ReadNow to Crown City. Dr. Nelson soon had more than thirty pediatric clinics participating in the program and hired a coordinator, Patricia Clay, to manage the day-to-day operations of the Crown City chapter. As a result of its affiliation with the Johnson Children's Medical Center, ReadNow was fortunate to have its rent, computers, telephones, and office supplies provided by the hospital. Johnson Children's Medical Center agreed to support the office environment of ReadNow, as well as to guarantee the coordinator a stipend of $ 50,000 each year. However, part of Patricia Clay's duties included raising funds to purchase books to distribute in clinics across the metropolitan area and t.

CASE BRIEF 7.2 Tiffany and Company v. Andrew 2012 WL 5451259 (S.D.N.Y.) FACTS: Tiffany (plaintiffs) allege that Andrew and others (defendants) sold counterfeit Tiffany products through several websites hosted in the United States. Andrew accepted payment in U.S. dollars, used PayPal, Inc. to process customers' credit card transactions, then transferred the sales proceeds to accounts held by the Bank of China (“BOC”), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (“ICBC”), and China Merchants Bank (“CMB”) (“Banks”). Andrew defaulted on the suit, and Tiffany sought discovery from the Banks by serving subpoenas seeking the identities of the holders of the accounts into which the proceeds of the counterfeit sales were transferred and the subsequent disposition of those proceeds. The Banks involved all maintained branch offices in the Southern District of New York, and the subpoenas were served on those branch offices. The Banks responded to the subpoenas by explaining that the information sought was all maintained in China and that the New York branches of the Banks lacked the ability to access the requested information. China's internal laws prohibited the disclosure of the information except under certain conditions. The Banks proposed that the plaintiffs pursue the requested discovery pursuant to the Hague Convention. The court concluded that Tiffany should pursue discovery through the Hague Convention. Tiffany submitted its Hague Convention application to China's Central Authority in November 2010, and on August 7, 2011, the Ministry of Justice of the People's Republic of China (“MOJ”) responded by producing some of the documents requested. For each of the Banks, the MOJ produced account opening documents (including the government identification card of the account holder), written confirmation of certain transfers into the accounts and a list of transfers out of the accounts. With respect to CMB, the records indicate that all funds in the account were withdrawn through cash transactions at either an ATM or through a teller. BOC and CMB each produced documents concerning a single account; ICBC produced documents for three accounts. In its cover letter, the MOJ noted that it was not producing all documents requested. Specifically, the letter stated, “Concerning your request for taking of evidence for the Tiffany case, the Chinese competent authority holds that some evidence required lacks direct and close connections with the litigation. As the Chinese government has declared at its accession to the Hague Evidence Convention that for the request issued for the purpose of the pre-trial discovery of documents only the request for obtaining discovery of the documents clearly enumerated in the Letters of Request and of direct and close connection with the subject matter of the litigation will be executed, the Chinese competent authority has partly executed the requests which it d.

CASE 5 Business Performance Evaluation: Approaches for Thoughtful Forecasting Every day, fortunes are won and lost on the backs of business performance assessments and forecasts. Because of the uncertainty surrounding business performance, the man-ager should appreciate that forecasting is not the same as fortune-telling; unanticipated events have a way of making certain that specific forecasts are never exactly correct. This note purports, however, that thoughtful forecasts greatly aid managers in under-standing the implications of various outcomes (including the most probable outcome) and identify the key bets associated with a forecast. Such forecasts provide the manager with an appreciation of the odds of business success. This note examines principles in the art and science of thoughtful financial fore-casting for the business manager. In particular, it reviews the importance of (1) under-standing the financial relationships of a business enterprise, (2) grounding business forecasts in the reality of the industry and macroenvironment, (3) modeling a forecast that embeds the implications of business strategy, and (4) recognizing the potential for cognitive bias in the forecasting process. The note closes with a detailed example of financial forecasting based on the example of the Swiss food and nutrition com-pany Nestle. Understanding the Financial Relationships of the Business Enterprise Financial statements provide information on the financial activities of an enterprise. Much like the performance statistics from an athletic contest, financial statements provide an array of identifying data on various historical strengths and weaknesses This technical note was prepared by Professor Michael J.

Part TwoFinancial Analysis and Forecasting across a broad spectrum of business activities. The income statement (also known as the profit-and-loss statement) measures flows of costs, revenue, and profits over a defined period of time, such as a year. The balance sheet provides a snapshot of business invest-ment and financing at a particular point in time, such as the end of a year. Both state-ments combine to provide a rich picture of a business’s financial performance. The analysis of financial statements is one important way of understanding the mechanics of the systems that make up business operations. Interpreting Financial Ratios Financial ratios provide a useful way to id.
