Describe resources you would use to accomplish your goals and tasks, such as ways to participate in a study group or review course, mnemonics and other mental strategies, and print or online resources you could use to study.

Assignment 2: Study Plan

 

 

Can you imagine an athlete deciding to run a marathon without training for the event? Most ambitious people who have set this goal will follow a specific training plan that will allow them to feel confident and prepared on the big day. Similarly, if you want to feel confident and prepared for your certification exam, you should create and follow a plan that will thoroughly prepare you for success.

In this Assignment, you will review the study plan that you developed in NRNP 6665, and revise your plan as necessary, which will serve as the road map for you to follow to attain your certification.

 

To Prepare

· Reflect on the study plan you created in NRNP 6665. Did you accomplish your SMART goals? What areas of focus still present opportunities for growth?

 

The Assignment

· Revise your study plan summarizing your current strengths and opportunities for improvement.

· Develop 3–4  new SMART goals for this quarter and the tasks you need to complete to accomplish each goal. Include a timetable for accomplishing them and a description of how you will measure your progress.

· Describe resources you would use to accomplish your goals and tasks, such as ways to participate in a study group or review course, mnemonics and other mental strategies, and print or online resources you could use to study.

In what ways is this unethical behavior the fault of the firm, and how is it the fault of the customers?

discussion is based on discussion question 4.9 from our textbook:

Consider the Odebrecht case (Box 4.3, bottom of page 143) and its habit of using bribes and kickbacks to secure project contracts. In what ways is this unethical behavior the fault of the firm, and how is it the fault of the customers? How can an organization develop an ethical culture? Discuss this idea in relation to rewards and punishments.

Project Management: Achieving Competitive Advantage

Chapter 3 Project Selection and Portfolio Management

Project selection is a complex decision process and should not be taken lightly. An organization’s success can depend greatly on their project focus.

Chapter 4 Leadership and the Project Manager

Leadership can often be difficult to define, but in this chapter we will attempt to determine the qualities and characteristics of good leadership.

3) Read about “Controlling Dissent” on pages 614 – 617 of the US History online textbook.

You have learned about American imperialism and the US entrance into the First World War. Increased nationalism and imperial ambitions heightened the political atmosphere leading up to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie. The broad political narrative of WW1 is often the focus in our high school courses. This week our content will focus on the soldier’s experiences on the front lines.

Task 1:

  • Review this week’s content
  • Review the document provided containing letters from WW1 soldiers.
  • Select three letters from the collection
  • Read the three letters
  • Copy the text from each letter and paste into the text-box available on https://voyant-tools.org/

Task 2:

Compose a 250 word posting and answer the following questions with specific reflection of what you learned and address the following questions based on your analysis of the letters.

1. What are the top five used words in the letters you selected

2. What does this tell us about the soldier’s experience or what they were focusing on?

3. After using the links tool https://voyant-tools.org/, what terms are linked to the the top five used words.

4. How do these words correlate with each other?

Describe how OSINT can be used to supplement your organizational collection plan, identify 10 sites that can be used to research sites/domains

You will develop a short 1300 word document.

Task: Describe how OSINT can be used to supplement your organizational collection plan, identify 10 sites that can be used to research sites/domains for:

  1. legitimacy
  2. sender verification
  3. list of domains (country codes/domains/extensions, organization domains, other IOC (indicators of compromise) that might need to be researched)

Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

Write to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:

  • Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
  • Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.

Benchmark Benchmark Exploring Reliability and Validity Assignment Instructions

 

Overview

In this Benchmark Exploring Reliability and Validity Assignment, you will analyze the psychometrics provided from the Values and Motives Questionnaire (VMQ), addressing 1) the type of reliability and validity used; 2) the areas of concern/strength for the Cronbach alpha coefficients; 3) how sample size and nature of the population may influence the constructs that the test attempts to measure (including validty and norming population); and 4) present an opinion of the test using the information in this report.

 

Instructions

· Length of Benchmark Exploring Reliability and Validity Assignment : 600-900 words (not including the title page and reference page)

· Format of Benchmark Exploring Reliability and Validity Assignment : APA for font (Times New Roman, 12 pt.), title page, margins, and section headings

· Number of citations: 2+ (must include the VMQ technical manual)

· Acceptable sources: scholarly articles/texts published within the last five years

1. Types of Reliability and Validity.

Explain the types of reliability and validity used. The authors of the VMQ explain general principles of norming, two types of reliability, and two types of validity on pages 14-15. But when they present the specific information about reliability in the first paragraph on page 17, they specifically state that they are using one type of reliability and where this data can be found. This is the reliability that you will describe. The same applies to validity; find the specific information provided by the authors on the VMQ.

2. Reliability: Cronbach Alpha Coefficients.

Look at each of the constructs (scales) the test purports to measure and identify the proper category of low, acceptable, and high ranges of the Chronbach’s alpha coefficients for each scale. Use the chart provided in the “What Makes a Good Test” handout, which explains how to read reliability and validity coefficients. Match them to what is in the manual. Report the reliability category for all scales. Look at the number/percent of the scales with problematic versus acceptable internal consistency alpha values.

3. Sample Size and Nature of the Population.

a. Validity: Look at the population used for the VMQ and the populations for the tests used to evaluate the VMQ’s validity. Do you believe that the populations of the other tests are comparable to the population used in the VMQ? Does this raise an issue with the validity?

b. VMQ Norming Population: Is it representative of the population you want to use it for? How about gender and cultural representation? Is there demographic information and is it sufficient to draw conclusions? Do you believe that the results of the group taking the VMQ are broad enough to generalize to other populations? Did they sample enough people to believe that this sample captures the traits of the population? The answers to these questions will help you to evaluate potential issues with both validity and generalizability.

4. Your Opinion of the VMQ.

Summarize the psychometric properties you reported. Look at your evaluation of reliability, validity, and population. Based on your findings, do you believe that the VMQ’s authors sufficiently establish the reliability and validity of the VMQ? Note any concerns. Be sure to view this in terms of the sample size and the makeup of the populations used to norm the instruments. This adds important meaning to the reliability and validity coefficients.
