Respond to one of your colleagues’ posts and explain the benefits and consequences of the “relaxed” level of significance.

 

Rosa

 

A significance of 0.05 corresponds to a CI of 95%. A significance of .10 corresponds to a CI of 90%.  You know that using 90%CI is not ok.  Be conservative. It is safer.

 

I should also comment on meaningfulness.  Please do not confuse significance with meaningfulness.  A result might be statistically significant but very weak.  A very weak effect is not meaningful. You would not take any action based on a weak effect.

 

If the difference is not significant, then that might be meaningful.  Learning there is no difference that can be very useful information.

 

Correlation is not causation.  Just because a correlation exists between A and B does not mean A causes B.  Since you do not know whether A causes B, results are less meaningful than they might first appear.

 

This case is saying that the CI is 90%.  This is inadequate.

When conducting research, it is important to know what is being researched and how it will be used to implement social change.  There must be a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis, which is the opposite of the research hypothesis.  The confidence level is typically 99%,  95%, or 90% which will tell us the confidence interval will contain the population mean.  The higher the confidence level, the lower the margin of error.

 

The discussion paragraph stated “meaningful contribution to the literature based upon finding statistically significant”.  Just because a relationship between two variables is statistically significant does not mean that the relationship is important theoretically or practically (Frankfort-Nachmias et. al, 2020 p. 247).

The paragraph also stated the “traditional levels of significance to reject the null hypotheses were relaxed to the .10 level.  Relaxing the levels to .10 increases the margin of error.  According to J. Allright, “adjusting the levels is morally wrong” (personal conversation, December 29, 2020).

Search in the online library to find four scholarly journal articles that describe a plan for instituting organizational change.  Provide a brief evaluation of at least two different generic change models that might be used to address the change needed in your organization

/in /by

In an APA format paper, describe three change theories. Make sure to at least:

A. Provide a brief background of the organization and identify the problem requiring change.

B. Search in the online library to find four scholarly journal articles that describe a plan for instituting organizational change.  Provide a brief evaluation of at least two different generic change models that might be used to address the change needed in your organization (An example of a scholarly change model is Kotter, J. P. (2005). Leading change. Leadership Excellence, 22(11), 5-6.  It is not required that you use this model.)

C. Provide a unique strategy for how the change effort would be implemented.  (The unique strategy is not intended to provide a solution to the problem, but detail how the change effort would implement the change.  This must be different from, but can be a combination of, the models described above.).

D. Describe how a manager would overcome resistance to change.

Please note that the assignment should be 5 to 6 pages in length (excluding title page and the reference page) following APA format 6th edition. Make sure to submit the assignment as a word document. Include references at the end of the assignment.

DNP Discussion Guidelines and Rubric

Purpose

The purpose of the graded collaborative discussions is to engage faculty and students in an interactive dialogue to assist the student in organizing, integrating, applying, and critically appraising knowledge regarding advanced nursing practice. Scholarly information obtained from credible sources as well as professional communication are required. Application of information to professional experiences promotes the analysis and use of principles, knowledge, and information learned and related to real-life professional situations. Meaningful dialogue among faculty and students fosters the development of a learning community as ideas, perspectives, and knowledge are shared.

Due Date

The initial posting to the graded collaborative discussions is due by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT. Peer and faculty responses are due by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT. All posts for Week 8 are due by the close of class on Saturday, 11:59 p.m. MT. Please note that the late assignment policy does not apply to the collaborative discussions.

Discussion Criteria 

I. Application of Course Knowledge: The student post contributes unique perspectives or insights gleaned from personal experience or examples from the healthcare field. The student must accurately and fully discuss the topic for the week in addition to providing personal or professional examples. The student must completely answer the entire initial question.

II. Engagement in Meaningful Dialogue: The student responds to a student peer and course faculty to further dialogue.

a. Peer Response: The student responds substantively to at least one topic-related post by a student peer. A substantive post adds content or insights or asks a question that will add to the learning experience and/or generate discussion.

· A post of “I agree” with a repeat of the other student’s post does not count as a substantive post. A collection of shallow posts does not equal a substantive post.

• The peer response must occur on a separate day from the initial posting.

• The peer response must occur before Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.

• The peer response does not require a scholarly citation and reference unless the information is summarized and/or direct quotes are used, in which APA style standards then apply.

b. Faculty Response: The student responds substantively to at least one question by course faculty. The faculty question may be directed to the student, to another student, or to the entire class.

· A post of “I agree” with a repeat of the faculty’s post does not count as a substantive post. A collection of shallow posts does not equal a substantive post.

· The faculty response must occur on a separate day from the initial posting.

· Responses to the faculty member must occur by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.

· This response does not require a scholarly citation and reference unless the information is summarized and/or direct quotes are used, in which APA style standards then apply.

III. Integration of Evidence:

The student post provides support from a minimum of at least three (3) sources which may include assigned readings, or weekly module content, or outside scholarly sources. The scholarly source when used is: 1) evidence-based, 2) scholarly in nature, 3) published within the last 5 years, and 4) an in-text citation. The student initial response to the graded discussion must include at least 1 source. Responses to peer and/or faculty, citations and references are included when information is summarized/synthesized and/or direct quotes are used, in which APA style standards then apply.

1. It is important that student utilizes support from the literature that is grounded in the literature providing sources relevant to the discussion posting. One source may come from the online weekly content.

2. Scholarly Sources

• Two (2) scholarly sources should be used in the discussion board assignments across the week.

• These include peer-reviewed publications.

• Textbooks are not considered scholarly sources. However, in some assignments, support from textbooks may be used on a limited basis when accompanied with additional scholarly sources if specified in the assignment guidelines or with instructor approval.

• Scholarly sources may be present in the weekly readings and students may choose to utilize these.

• Wikipedia, Wikis, .com website or blogs should not be used.

• Sources should be no more than five years old unless they are historical or seminal references or approved by your instructor.

3. Literature Sources:

• Grey literature is scholarly but not peer-reviewed. These resources can be used but do not meet requirements for peer-reviewed sources.

• Refer to the assignment guidelines to determine which grey literature sources (e.g., professional organization website, white papers) are appropriate to be used for discussions or assignments and would constitute receiving full credit for using this resource in the paper or discussion.

• Government reports are actually part of the grey literature – they are not peer reviewed and the government’s main purpose is not the publication of literature.

• Internet resources on dissertations, a form of grey literature, provide additional views on the scholarly level of this literature

• Papers written for Chamberlain College of Nursing should be the student’s original work and contain no more than one short quotation for every three pages or as designated in the assignment guidelines. Quotations should be avoided if possible.

(Chamberlain Guidelines for Writing Professional Papers, 2018)

IV. Professionalism in Communication: The post presents information in logical, meaningful, and understandable sequence, and is clearly relevant to the discussion topic. Grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation are accurate.

V. Wednesday Participation Requirement: The student provides a substantive response to the graded discussion question(s) or topic(s), posted by the course faculty (not a response to a peer), by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT of each week.

VI.   Total Participation Requirement: The student provides at least three substantive posts (one to the initial question or topic, one to

a student peer, and one to a faculty question) on two different days during the week.

IT infrastructure to support team processes

/in /by

IT infrastructure to support team processes

This Case is to cover team processes and the IT infrastructure to support team processes. For the IT infrastructure, refer to Module 3, Lecture 1: Business IT Networks and Components.

The IT infrastructure consists of components identified as hardware, software, communication systems, data resources, and people. These components apply to information systems, and in Module 3, you will be analyzing collaboration systems. You case will present findings on the IT infrastructure to support team processes discussing hardware, software, communication systems, data resources, and people for the selected tool or application, and providing a comparison across the various group collaboration tools.

 

To complete this assignment:

(1) Choose a collaboration tool that has functions beyond video conferencing such as Trello, Slack, Asana, Favro, etc. that help a team complete projects, communicate, share documents and keep versions of them, and other useful things.

https://eazyweezyhomeworks.com/recent-supreme-court-decisions/

(2) Then, assess that software application’s ability to meet the needs of a team in terms of: hardware needed to support it, software it may need to connect with, communication support, data resources it uses or provides, and how people on a team are supported by it. You are focusing on Infrastructure, not the app’s various abilities themselves.

The conclusion area should contain summary thoughts, including pros/cons and recommendations.

Assignment 2

Report One:  A Proposal

Purpose:  To Persuade

Page Length:  three to four pages single spaced except for headings

 

To prepare, reread Chapter 9.3 “Business Proposals” and read https://www.monster.ca/career-advice/article/business-report-writing-tips

The persuasive report can be written about various topics, but all persuasive reports have in common their purpose.

Topic:  The only restriction you have concerning topic is that it must be business-related.

Audience:  You can determine your audience for this project and include that information (person’s name and title) in the “To” line of the memo.

Writer:  You can assume a personae other than yourself by giving yourself a company title.  Your name and title go in the “From” line of the memo.

The memo part of your report serves as an introduction to the report and should also summarize it.

Purpose: Your purpose in this report is to persuade. You might persuade an audience to get money for a project or more money for yourself.  You might persuade your audience to start an onsite daycare or a food service and venue to provide employee meals.  You might persuade your audience to change a policy that is negative, for example the use of a potentially harmful substance or an attendance policy that is too punitive.  You might persuade your audience to adopt a positive policy, for example the manufacture of energy-saving devices, to enhance the company’s profile as environmentally friendly.

It took me two minutes to think of the above topics, and I say this not to brag but to illustrate how wide open the range of topics can be. The world of business is full of great ideas, and if you want to get attention paid to yours you must present them effectively.

No matter what topic you choose, pay attention to rhetorical appeals talked about in the textbook. Ethos, logos, and pathos must be used effectively to enhance your proposal.

It’s up to you to decide how/how much to develop your topic, but keep in mind that your purpose is to persuade and that means that you must provide evidence to back up your persuasive assertions.  If you use outside source material, use it sparingly and use legitimate sources.  Focus on developing your own ideas about the topic.  If you use source material, cite both in text (parenthetically) and at the end in a Works Cited or Bibliography.  You don’t need a separate page for the Works Cited or Bibliography if you have enough room on the last page of the report.  Reports without citations will receive a failing grade. You may use no more than two outside sources;  if you use more I won’t grade your report.

 

 

Structure

You’ll use headings to organize your report, but don’t forget that topic sentences are important in reports just as they are in other writing assignments.  Topic sentences guide readers through a paragraph’s content and are important for clarity, which is important to persuasion.  Don’t let headings take the place of topic sentences.

No matter how well developed a topic is, a reader won’t know what to do with information unless it’s connected by transitions.  Like any other writing assignment you’ve done, you need to use transitions to create logical connections between pieces of information.  Don’t let subheadings take the place of transitions.

Concluding the report can be done in several different ways.  Briefly, the conclusion of a persuasive report is a final summary of what the report discussed and a call for some kind of action on the part of the audience, whether it be to put a policy into place or change the reader’s mind about something.

Formatting

Formatting reports is not exactly intuitive, and this may be the first time you’ve used headings. It helps to think about what good formatting accomplishes:  readability.  Headings help readability by helping the reader understand how material is broken down into separate sections. A readable report will present your ideas well and get you what you want in this persuasive endeavor.

 

Define the internal and external users of accounting data. What data would each group most likely want to review? Provide examples of each user type. Describe the role ethics plays in the operation of an accounting system. Include a couple of examples.

/in /by

Complete a 3-part assessment in which you create journal entries for a variety of business events, test your recall of accounting fundamentals by answering a series of questions, and identify and prepare entries for the corporate ownership business type.

Although many small businesses might operate on a cash basis, most of the larger ones use the accrual basis to record business events in the general journal. Learning the language of business is very challenging. There are so many terms, procedures, processes, and dos and do nots that keeping track of all of them requires a separate space in one’s brain. There are three business ownership types: (1) proprietorship, (2) partnership, and (3) corporation. Many of their accounting transactions are similar. However, there are some business events that require special transaction handling in accounting entries.

Context

By now, you have seen the end products in the operation of an accounting information system. However, you have not demonstrated how you got there. Getting there is a journey that takes a full accounting period (monthly, quarterly, or yearly) and involves analyzing and recording a series of organizational events or transactions. After all of the transactions have been recorded in a journal, the amounts are posted (transferred) to a ledger (storage for accounts).

The recording process begins with the transaction. Business documents, such as a sales slip, credit card receipt, check, invoice, or cash register tape provide evidence of the transaction. The accounting department assembles and analyzes all of this evidence to determine the transaction’s effects on specific accounts. Once recorded, the journal entry is transferred to the designated accounts in the ledger.

Questions to Consider

To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.

  • Consider that you have been asked to make a presentation before your organization’s board of directors on how financial information flows through an accounting information system. To make your presentation move smoothly from the beginning to the end and not to lose any of the board members (and to keep them awake), you have decided to make a chart that shows the flow of information and the steps necessary for their understanding. You also need to make some notes on each step so you have a cheat sheet. In making this presentation:
    • What application would you use to display it for a wow factor?
    • What information would you include?

Assessment Instructions

This assessment includes three parts. Use the template provided for each part to complete the assessment. The templates are linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading.

Part 1: Proprietorship Business Transactions

Although many small businesses might operate on a cash basis, most of the larger ones use the accrual basis to record business events in the general journal. In this assessment, apply your knowledge of various business events that require journal entries to be made.

For this part of the assessment, use the Assessment 4, Part 1 Template to create journal entries for each of the following business events for Magnolia Greens Frisbee Golf Course:

  • May 1: Invested $20,000 cash in the golf course business.
  • May 3: Purchased Hampstead Golf Land for $15,000 cash. The price includes land $12,000, shed $2,000, and equipment $1,000.
  • May 5: Paid advertising expenses of $700.
  • May 6: Paid cash $600 for a 1-year insurance policy.
  • May 10: Purchased golf discs and other equipment for $1,050 from Discs Are Us, payable in 30 days.
  • May 18: Received $1,100 in cash for golf fees earned (service revenue).
  • May 19: Sold 150 coupon books for $10 each. Each book contains four coupons that enable the holder to play one round of golf.
  • May 25: Withdrew $800 cash for personal use.
  • May 30: Pay salaries for part-time employees $250.
  • May 30: Paid Discs Are Us the full amount due.
  • May 31: Received $2,100 cash for fees earned.

Accounts to be used are given below:

  • Cash.
  • Prepaid insurance.
  • Land.
  • Buildings.
  • Equipment.
  • Accounts payable.
  • Unearned service revenue.
  • Owner’s capital.
  • Owner’s drawings.
  • Service revenue.
  • Advertising expense.
  • Salaries and wages expense.

Part 2: Accounting Knowledge Transfer

This part of the assessment allows you to demonstrate and reinforce your knowledge of business accounting terminology by transferring what is in your head onto paper.

For this assessment, use the Assessment 4, Part 2 Template to record your answers to the following short-answer questions designed to test your recall of accounting fundamentals.

  1. Define the internal and external users of accounting data. What data would each group most likely want to review? Provide examples of each user type.
  2. Describe the role ethics plays in the operation of an accounting system. Include a couple of examples.
  3. Select three among the several accounting conventions prescribed by law, regulators, and accounting organizations. For each selection, describe its purpose and provide an example of how it would be applied to an accounting system.
  4. Describe each of the three main financial statements—the end products of the work that takes place in an accounting system over a period of time—studied in the course. What does each statement present? Why is it important to prepare these? Who uses the information in the statements? Describe the interrelationship among the three statements.
  5. Discuss the rules of debit and credit as apply to each of the account types that would appear on a company’s balance sheet and income statement. Identify the normal balance for each account type and provide an example event for each. Analyzing business events requires the accountant to make several judgments about the facts contained in the event.

Part 3: Corporate Business Transactions

There are three business ownership types: (1) proprietorship, (2) partnership, and (3) corporation. Many of their accounting transactions are similar. However, there are some business events that require special transaction handling in accounting entries.

For this part of the assessment, use the Assessment 4, Part 3 Template to identify and prepare entries for the corporate ownership business type.

Imagine you are an accountant for J. Malone’s Law Firm, Inc. The accounts and transactions of the firm are listed below. Analyze each transaction. Identify the account or accounts to be debited and credited and, using the provided template, prepare a journal entry for each in the proper format.

  3. What previous experiences relate to what I read and learned?
  4. How will I use (or have I used) this knowledge in my work, ministry, or life?
