Learning Curve Calculator Tool for MS Excel

This is a paper that focuses on the Development of Learning Curve Calculator Tool for MS Excel. The paper will identify the steps involved in the development process.

Development of Learning Curve Calculator Tool for MS Excel

Firstly, ensure you have viewed: Learning Curve Calculator (Setting up Excel Spreadsheet for Cumulative Average Model, Formulas) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8mIkaCb38s).This video demonstrates how to setup a Cumulative Average Model calculator in Excel. Then, complete the tasks for this activity.

Secondly, this activity addresses the following Module Outcome:
·        Differentiate between alternative business processes utilizing the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, and various performance measures.(CO#1, CO#4)

Thirdly, view the Learning Curve Calculator video. This video demonstrates how to set up a Cumulative Average Model calculator in Excel. Then, complete the tasks for this activity.
TASKS
1.     Create a Learning Curve Calculator similar to the one shown from the video Learning Curve Calculator.
2.     Create a graph of Unit Cost versus Unit Number (displaying Learning Rate) for an initial unit cost of $100 and a production run of 1,000 units. Learning rates should vary from 60% to 100% and should use increments of 5%. Also, ensure you label the x- and y-axis and provide a graph title. Lastly, the graph should be in its own worksheet. For help with moving the graph to a new sheet, go to How to Move a Chart onto a New Sheet in Excel.

3.     Using the same data from question 2 (above), graph the Cumulative Total Cost versus Unit Number. Then, select two learning rates (Option A and Option B). Answer the following questions:
a.     If each 5% increment of learning rate costs $1000, which option (A or B) would result in a low cost (Cumulative cost for 1,000 unit run added to the learning rate cost)?
b.     Does your answer change if your production run is 50 units and the learning rate cost is a one-time cost? Additionally, explain why or why not.
c.      Explain how you could use the PDCA cycle to reduce the Cumulative Total Cost. Also, what are the tradeoffs to reducing Cumulative Total Costs?

Randomization in Designs and random vs non-random selection

Randomization in Designs and random vs non-random selection

This is a paper that discusses to explore Randomization in Designs and random vs non-random selection. Additionally, the aim is to identify a new technology for student performance.

Explore Randomization in Designs and random vs non-random selection

This assignment has three parts.
The first part is a review of NCU dissertations to help you understand what is the expectation of you as you move into the dissertation phase of your work.

The second part is an elaboration on random vs. non-random selection. Also, the third part allows you to practice with setting up the research of your own.
Part 1 (2 points): For both of the NCU dissertations listed in the Resources for this week. Identify in one sentence each the problem, purpose, research questions, methodology and design used in the study. Finally, why the methodology and design selected are appropriate to answer the research questions presented.

Part 2 (2 points): In half a page, for both of the NCU dissertations listed in the Resources for this week, identify whether random sample selection was or was not used in the study. If it was a random sample, what made randomization possible? If it was not a random sample, what made randomization impossible?

Part 3 (6 points): Think of a problem that exists in an education-related area today that you might wish to address with future research. In one page, describe the problem, purpose, research questions, and hypotheses. De‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍termine and describe whether randomization could be used or not used in this situation. For example, perhaps you recently found out that high school juniors are scoring poorly on the science section of the ACT (the problem).

Purpose

Your purpose could be to determine if a new teaching technique impacts student performance on the science portion of the ACT. Your research question could ask how the new teaching technique impacts students’ scores on the ACT. This is comparing to the standard teaching method. Your hypothesis may be that students taught with the new method score better on the ACT than those taught with the old method.

Use your own example of a study you might conduct rather than using this same example. Length: 2 pages, not including title page. References: No references required. Please have an Introduction and a Conclusion section for the submission. Lastly, using section headings in your paper (in BOLD) will help with the organization of your ‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍submission.

Your HR team has expressed their discomfort with changing the current processes. They are afraid that the changes will impact a new culture within the HR Department. This fear of the unknown has your staff reluctant to embrace change.

For this assignment you will write a four page paper that covers the following:

Firstly, present detail information about an innovative retention strategy that the organization should implement that will be effective and employees will see as motivational.

Secondly, what type of leadership approach will you use to gain a buy-in within ‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍your department? Explain your rationale.

Thirdly, mention the potential risks that you think will come with your strategy and effective methods to prevent them. Be clear and specific.

Role the Buddha-life story shape his understanding of the world?

Role the Buddha-life story shape his understanding of the world?

Discuss the role the Buddha plays in Buddhism. How does his life story shape his understanding of the world?

Role the Buddha-life story shape his understanding of the world?

Firstly, Watch: “The Buddha”
Documentary – The Buddha – PBS Documentary (Narrated by Richard Gere) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc7_VyVXDLs&feature=emb_title)

Discuss the role the Buddha plays in Buddhism. How does his life story shape his understanding of the world?

Who Was the Buddha?

Secondly,  “Buddha” means “one who is awake.” The Buddha who lived 2,600 years ago was not a god. He was an ordinary person, named Siddhartha Gautama, whose profound insights inspired the world.

Buddha is not a name, but a title. It is a Sanskrit word that means “a person who is awake.” What a buddha is awake to is the true nature of reality.

Simply put, Buddhism teaches that we all live in a fog of illusions created by mistaken perceptions and “impurities” — hate, greed, ignorance. A buddha is one who is freed from the fog.

When a buddha dies he or she is not reborn.He passes into the peace of Nirvana, which is not a “heaven” but a transformation of state of existence.

Most of the time, when someone says the Buddha, it’s in reference to the historical person from foundation of Buddhism. This was a man originally named Siddhartha Gautama who lived in what is now northern India and Nepal about twenty-five centuries ago.

Is There a Buddhist Bible?

Not exactly. For one thing, the several schools and denominations of Buddhism do not all use the same canon of scriptures. A text esteemed by one school may be unknown in another.

Further, Buddhist scriptures are not into consideration to the revelation of words of a god that must be accept without question. The Buddha taught us to accept no teaching on authority alone, but to investigate it for ourselves.  The many sutras and other texts are there to guide us, not to indoctrinate us.
