Verbal fluency and bilingualism

Verbal fluency and bilingualism

This is a two factor quasi-experimental design with one within-participants factor (fluency Prompt-type – semantic versus letter), and one betweenparticipants factor (language Group). You will therefore need to use a two factor mixed ANOVA (also known as “split plot” ANOVA). This lab is about Verbal fluency performance in monolingual and bilinguals (use bilinguals broadly – to include multi-linguals) please note that SPSS data files are attached as Excel files due to unrecognizable file format by the website

Principles of MIS Design an information system using MS ACCESS

Design an information system using MS ACCESS  Principles of MIS (0506200) Semester I, 2019-2020 Case Study Guidelines 1. Students are to from a group of 3 -5 students and has to work collaboratively on one the following two options A. Case study Students will write a case that illustrate the use of Information systems in an organization. The three main elements of a case that should be covered are: o Reality: choose an organization that actually uses information systems that you want to highlight where you have a decision maker, a set of problem they faced and how they arrive to the solution. You will also look at the real data and the way it has been used to make a decisions. o Originality: Concept or a context that make the case original worth to be highlighted o Theory: what theory is being used to build the decision making process Please refer to this link for more information on how to write a case https://www.iveycases.com/TeachingAuthoringTools.aspx B. Information System Design Design an information system using MS ACCESS (More details with the instructor) 2. Date, and Requirements for Submitting Your Case Description The final submission of your complete case must be by the 5th Dec. 2019. A hard copy and a soft copy to be submitted The number of students involved in a case should not exceed 5 and no less than 3. 3. Submission Guidelines

• Cases are written in the past tense. Reports for the Access IS can be written in the present or past tense.

• Files should be thoroughly proofread before submission in order to ensure grammatical and syntactical integrity.

• The total length, including exhibits, should not exceed 15 pages. The text should be in Times New Roman, 12 pt.

• Submit the case as word document. For the Access IS, two separate files, report as word documents and the Access IS another document

• All tables, figures, appendices, etc., should be referred to as exhibits in the body of the case or teaching note and inserted at the end of the document.

• Include a citation below each exhibit. State whether the exhibit is an original document extraction or a creation of the author using data from the original document (e.g., “Created by author using. ”).

• All submitted written cases and reports will be subject to review by plagiarism detection software. A successful case study analyses a real life situation where existing problems need to be solved.

It should:

• Relate the theory to a practical situation;

• Identify the problems

• Select the major problems in the case

• Suggest solutions to these major problems

• Recommend the best solution to be implemented

• Detail how this solution should be implemented The organization of your paper will depend somewhat on the case you select. However, the organization of a typical case might look like this:

• Cover page, with title, your name and course and instructor

• Refer to Ivey cases guidelines on the organization of a case and teaching notes 4. Warnings and Reminders

• Start early. Students are advised to start as early as possible so they can find enough material on their chosen case. As a general rule, DO NOT leave the group work until the last minute.

• Write an outline. One of the most common problems with papers is poor organization. Organize your thoughts. You may want to use section headings to indicate the topic or purpose of sections of the paper.

• Pay attention to the quality of your sources. If you use articles from the Web as sources, give the URL and the organization sponsoring the site. There is a lot of junk and unsupported opinion on the Web. 5. Managing the group work

• You can choose students you want to work with to form one group. Please refer to me as early as possible if you can’t put yourself in a group.

• You may experience difficulties in getting adequate contribution from individuals in your group, but it is expected that team members will be sympathetic towards anyone who is failing due to problems of personal nature and try to resolve any problems facing within the team. However, if there is consensus amongst the rest of the group that reasonable efforts have been made to ensure contribution and one member still does not contribute, then you can bring the case to my attention, I will investigate and make final decision.

• It is difficult to think of circumstances in which the late submission of group work would be deemed reasonable. One of the perceived strengths of group work is that it allows groups to cope with setbacks that sometimes affect individual students.

• Excuses like “the person supposed to be doing that part has gone off sick” are unlikely to be accepted. You should prepare far enough in advance and have planned things well enough to allow other group members to cover omissions by individuals. 6. Grading Criteria Grading criteria include:

• discussion of background or history of the topic

• presentation of issues related to the case

• quality of argument and analysis

• structure and organization

• clarity of writing

• sufficient references

• originality

• Meeting deadlines.

• Team Work

Description

Module synopsis This module introduces students to system design concepts and tools, and challenges students to think critically about their potential and actual application in Engineering. Students will be introduced in the engineering of systems design from an operations perspective, which will focus on two functions in particular: (a) directing operations and (b) designing operations. Students will learn the principles behind a number of systematic and systemic design approaches. These principles will be discovered, explored and applied typically through a series of paradoxes and metaphors, such as: the ‘Tragedy of the Commons’, the ‘Impossibility Theorem’ and ‘Sustainable Social/Economic/Ecological Systems  Marketing Module Synopsis This module introduces students to system design concepts and tools, and challenges students to think critically about their potential and actual application in Engineering. Students are introduced to the engineering of systems design from an operations perspective, which will focus on two functions, directing operations and designing operations. Outline Syllabus Areas to explore by students will typically include: a. Systematic approaches for: (a) directing operations and (b) designing operations b. System approaches for: (a) achieving coordinated actions (e.g. impossibility theorem), (b) avoid abuses inside the system (e.g. tragedy of the commons) and (c) fostering collaboration (e.g. sustainable systems)

Problem analysis and needs assessment

Problem analysis and needs assessment

PROBLEM ANALYSIS AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT  I. Defining the Programs Answer the following questions to determine the extent to which agency services are organized into discrete programs: 1. Does the program provide the clients a number of clearly-defined and distinct services (as opposed to providing undifferentiated casework services for all clients)? 2. If your agency does not have separate programs, can you identify agency staff and resources that are allocated to each of your programs? If the answer to both questions is “no,” you must select another agency for use in this course. II. Problem Analysis Answer the following questions to determine the foundation of the program: 1. Thinking of one particular program or service, can you identify the problem(s) this program is intended to address, first in general terms and then in specific terms? If so, state them. 2. Can you define the target population(s) this program is intended to serve, first in general terms and then in specific terms? If so, define them. 3. Can you identify geographic boundaries for the population served in your program? If so, state them. 4. If necessary, could you provide a reasonably accurate estimate (based on empirical or reliable and valid documentation) of the number of people within these boundaries who fit the description given in questions number 1 and 2 for the problem(s) and target population(s) in both general and specific terms? If so, identify the populations and list the estimates. 5. Can you identify data sources for the statistics you used in the above question? If so, state them. 6. Can you define the commonly agreed-upon understanding among the staff who work in the program about the primary or most common causes of this problem and about the cause-and-effect relationship that exists? If so, list them. Do you think you could get at least a 75% agreement upon the issue of causality from the staff? 19 III. Needs Assessment Accuracy and skill in matching needs to services come from solid, thorough work on problem analysis. You will need to examine identified needs from four perspectives: (a.) normative needs (defined by “experts” in the field) (b.) perceived needs (defined by those actually experiencing the needs) (c.) expressed needs (defined by those who seek out the services) (d.) relative needs (needs and resources in one geographic area as compared with needs and resources in another Using the five methodologies described in Chapter 4 (existing studies, resource inventories, service statistics, social surveys, and public forums), analyze the extent to which your program has taken these perspectives into account by answering the following questions: 1. Given the problem you identified in Question 1 of the Problem Analysis section, is there agreement among the direct service staff about the major, predominant categories of needs of clients who come to you with the identified problem(s)? If so, list the categories of need(s). 2. Are there any standards that are used to establish normative need (that point or level defined by experts below which one is defined as being “in need” with this particular problem? If so, identify that standard. 3. Can you define what consumers of your services perceive their needs to be? If so, list the major categories of need they identify. 4. Of those people who seek services from this program, do you know what percentage are actually served? If so, state that percentage. 5. Do you know how the volume of services provided in the community compares with the volume of these same services provided in other communities in terms of percentage of needy population served? If so, cite some comparative data showing whether the agency is serving a larger or smaller percentage than other communities are. 6. In relation to the need(s) identified in Questions 1 and 3, do you know approximately how many people within the geographical boundaries of the agency have these needs? If so, identify the numbers for each need identified. 7. Do you know in what census tracts or zip codes the highest levels of need(s) are located? If so, list them APPLY FOR THIS CASE
