explore how that work fits into/diverges from the career of its artist or designer.

Building on the thoughts, images and sources that you have assembled in the two preparatory assignments (n.b.: you likely will continue to add sources at this point), summarize your thesis in your opening paragraph and then use your images and sources to develop the argument before arriving at your conclusion. (Generally, the intro and conclusion are 1/3 to ½ page each.)
We will discuss your range of approaches in tutorial, but some possibilities include:
1) if writing about a key art or design work, explore how that work fits into/diverges from the career of its artist or designer. Alternatively, how does it fit into/diverge from work that is characteristic of its moment?
2) if writing about a key moment, what are 2-4 objects/ideas that exemplify why that moment seems important to you?
3) If writing about an idea, what are some objects that either strike you has having been informed by this idea or (perhaps more interestingly) seem to have informed this idea?
You have considerable scope here. Turn that to your advantage—we’re covering a lot of ground in this course, so start by thinking about things that capture your imagination (and remember that often means something fascinating, but it also can mean something really annoying) and go from there.

What theatrical style would you use to stage this production? Why?

For this fourth short assignment, you will propose a directorial concept for one of the plays studied thus far: Lysistrata, cullud wattah, The Tempest, Blue-Eyed Black Boy, The Shipment, Thanksgiving Play, Language of Angels, Vietgone, or Angels in America.
Choose one play we’ve studied thus far that you would like to direct. Turn in a “directorial concept” document that addresses the following — engaged more fully in Chapter 6 of the textbook — in at least 400 words:
What is the spine of this play?
What theatrical style (such as realism, naturalism, expressionism, surrealism, theatre of the absurd, choreopoem, etc.) would you use to stage this production? Why?
What is your directorial concept? Make sure to articulate the period (or time/space) you’d like to stage the play in as well as the concept framing the play? You are welcome to include images (with citations) to further animate your ideas.
What is at least one question you have for the play? (This could be about staging, dialogue, casting, or another idea/issue).

Analyze and discuss different types of strategies (cost leadership, differentiation, and focus or niche) then select which one you would deem more appropriate for an “efficiency-minded” retail organization and explain your rationale.

Based on your review, please respond to the following:

The CEO has approved funding for your project to create a training and development system for the organization. She now wants you to explain your process on how you will create training programs for the new system and why your process will add value to the company. NOTE: You are addressing a CEO and not regular employees so keep your response both strategic and high level.

Strategy, Planning, and Selection

Scenario

Assume for this assignment that you are being highly considered for a director-level HR management position for a best-in-class national retailer. You are in the final phase of the interview process and must respond to the interview panel regarding specific questions and scenarios that will help them determine if you are a good fit for the new role. The company’s culture is centered on the effective development of strategy, plans, and selection criteria aimed at building and sustaining a competitive and profitable organization. It will be extremely important that you respond with a strategic mindset in order to convince the organization you are able to help them ensure the execution of the business strategy.

NOTE: It is highly recommended to use the instructions below rather than those in the course guide.

Instructions

  1. Analyze and discuss different types of strategies (cost leadership, differentiation, and focus or niche) then select which one you would deem more appropriate for an “efficiency-minded” retail organization and explain your rationale. Also, how would the selected strategy ultimately affect how HR does its job?
  2. Examine the four approaches to job design or redesign (those discussed in textbook) and provide an example (not just a definition) of each. Then, make a case to the interviewing panel on the importance of effective job design applications in supporting the overall strategic goals of the organization.
  3. Consider challenges and constraints associated with recruiting workers (see textbook examples) and identify and discuss at least two issues. What advice would you give to ease (or fix) your selected issues? Be specific.
  4. Review exhibit 6-1 on page 188 of the textbook. Other than the  elements seen in the selection process, list and describe 2–3 additional candidate selection process ideas that might add value and overall effectiveness to the process. Example: 5 Tips for Designing an Effective Employee Selection System. Also, what problems should HR and management teams avoid during the selection process?
  5. Use at least four quality academic sources in this assignment. Note: To prevent using non-quality sources it is HIGHLY recommended to use the sources listed in the course resources section and others from the library. Use of the textbook is required.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards, APA 6, or APA 7 at the student’s discretion. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Use the    Strayer University Library to locate additional sources to support your work. The specific course outcome associated with this assignment is:

  • Determine strategies for providing effective human resource management within an organization, including how to support competitive advantage, approaches to job design and redesign, and recruitment and selection.

Explain how biased perspectives influence what is known about both your historical and current events.

Use the provided Module Five Activity Template: Historical Interpretations Word Document to complete this activity. First, you will reflect on the process of researching the subject of your historical research question and its connection to your current event. You will then consider the impact of bias on our existing knowledge. Finally, you will address how the narratives about your historical and current events would change if told from alternative viewpoints.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Describe how exploring your research question improved your understanding of the historical roots of your current event.
How did learning more about the subject of your research question help you identify events from the past that contributed or led up to your current event?
Explain how biased perspectives influence what is known about both your historical and current events.
Support your points with relevant course resources.
Propose how the narrative about your historical event might change if it were told from a missing perspective.
Refer to the missing perspective you identified in this week’s discussion. How might this point of view change the story about your historical event? For example, would the narrative focus on different details, or would those details be interpreted differently?
Propose how the narrative about your current event might change if it were told from a missing perspective.
Expand on the missing perspective from criteria three and apply it to your current event. How might your current event be understood differently by examining it from that perspective?
Guidelines for Submission
Submit the Module Five Activity Template: Historical Interpretations.  Sources should be cited according to APA style.
I also attached the template to fillout and a couple of my last assignments to give you an idea of where i stand on the subject.

Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.

Quantitative Journal – Article Review – 3-4 pages

You will review quantitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the same family as your expected dissertation topic so that you can start viewing what is out there.  There are no hard word counts or page requirements as long as you cover the basic guidelines.  You must submit original work, however,  and a paper that returns as a large percentage of copy/paste to other sources will not be accepted.  (Safe Assign will be used to track/monitor your submission for plagiarism. Submissions with a Safe Assign match of more than 2% will not be accepted.)

Please use APA formatting and include the following information:

  • Introduction/Background:  Provide context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research question?
  • Methodology:  Describe how the data was gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or hypotheses were the researcher trying to explore? What statistical analysis was used?
  • Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
  • Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead into further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.)

Identify what parts of the body would be considered series and what parts would be considered parallel.

The human body can be thought of as a series-parallel analogy. Some parts are in series and some parts are in parallel. In addition, the human body can be modeled as an electrical circuit.

In your original post:

  • Identify what parts of the body would be considered series and what parts would be considered parallel.
  • Discuss how the series and parallel systems function together as a series-parallel circuit in your analogy.
  • Explain how electricity can travel through the body using a series-parallel electrical model. How does this relate to touch, step, and step-touch potential?
  • Finally, Discuss the loading effect of a voltmeter on a circuit. How does the voltmeter’s internal resistance affect the loading effect?
