I need you to improve a current assignment with the notes mentioned by the professor, not write a new piece

The paper I submitted is below. The notes that the professor provided are as follows (please implement the necessary changes):You have a very good hypothesis and I liked the abstract you did not label the introduction you have an OK literature review the should go for 3 to 4 pages. I did not see your methodology well described here that should be at least a page or two. In addition to a problem statement you should also have a purpose statement. Remember the literature review should not be cut and paste it from the annotated bibliography it should be conversational and from the body of your discussion. I am not sure if you’re going to do an interview or you’re doing a survey but if you are these need to be described in your research method and it should include a discussion of the participants, the actual survey, and the procedure in other words how you’re going to go about doing it. Also if you do this in the appendices you will need a sample of the release form as well as a sample of the actual survey. Finally you will need a preliminary conclusion. Please send it to me in messages as well as re-posting it here with your name research proposal_rough draft and put either draft number two or take to… Make these changes and you’ll be well on your way to a final product.

Materials management | Human Resource Management homework help

You are an administrative staff specialist newly employed by the hospital to act as a management engineer and address a number of issues relating to operating efficiency. Your first assignment is to analyze work methods and staffing in the central sterile supply division of materials management. The department was singled out for study because:• The manager, a registered nurse who has held the job for more than 25 years, has requested two more processing aides although her staff is already one person larger than that of another area hospital of equivalent size.• There has been a recent, seemingly unexplainable, upturn in the consumption of disposables.• A number of storage shelves appear to be stocked to overflowing with infrequently used items.• The department issues frequent rush orders to obtain needed items that have completely run out.• Observed conditions in the department include an overcrowded storage area, a seemingly inadequate decontamination area, and a grossly over-sized processing area referred to by most employees as “the ballroom.”On your initial visit to the department the first thing the manager says to you is: “So you’re the one who’s going to tell us what we’re doing wrong?” Her tone is none too friendly.InstructionsDevelop a proposed approach to a complete study of the department, including the “sales pitch” you would use to try winning the manager’s cooperation and support, specifying what should be done, why it should be done, and how you propose to address the inevitable resistance of both manager and staff.

loe Response Needed

Respond to Jaime and Bryant with a reflection on or connection to their post. Provide 150 words for each response Jaime KThere were so many valuable resources, I’m not sure where to start. I found the FBA and BIP resources and slides extremely valuable. I enjoyed refreshing my mind about LRE and due process. The accommodations vs. modification information and 504 information was valuable too. This course applies directly to my role and I have learned new information. I have printed materials from this course and will refer to the slides as needed.An advocate is a voice for the student, parents and their needs. They are knowledgeable in the area they are advocating and give expert advice. Someone who participates with the team and helps meet student needs. Anyone on the IEP team can advocate for the student or perhaps I should say everyone on the IEP should advocate for the student.It is important to know the programs, contacts, and resources available through the district. One strategy is to visit programs around the district. Find out where and what kind of programs your students will be transitioning to when they leave elementary or middle school. I toured programs a couple of years ago and it was a valuable experience because now I can share with parents the options that are available, and as a team, we can determine what is appropriate. It is also important to have the mindset that as a team, we can meet the student’s needs and help them be successful.Bryant
