Discussion Board Forum 2: Thread 

Thready Prompt: Choose 1 of the following prompts to complete your thread:

1. You have been asked by your company to  hire a new worker for your unit. You have been given responsibility for  conducting the recruitment and selection. How would you approach hiring  a new worker for your unit? What particular methods and source will you  use and why? What methods will you use to make a final decision and  why?

2. The impact of downsizing an  organization through layoffs can have a devastating psychological impact  on those employees who survive the layoff. If you were a manager in  this situation, what concerns do you think you would have in managing  the workforce going forward? What role would HR play in supporting  managers in this effort?

3. Often employees voice concern over  team performance measures and express that their own performance is not  fairly considered. As a manager, what specific criteria should be used  to measure team performance? In conducting the team performance  appraisal, what sources would you use and why? Should individual  performance also be included in the measurement? Why?

4. It is often said by those in  leadership within large organizations that, “the only thing constant  around here is change!” Continuous change in organizations is certainly  one of the most challenging aspects managers face. These vibrant and  dynamic work environments create significant challenges for training  employees — especially when job tasks/responsibilities frequently  change. What are some specific ways to identify training requirements  when job responsibilities become a moving target?

5. What is the difference between  training and career development? Of these two concepts, which is more  likely to increase retention in an organization? Why?

Based on key legislation pertaining to English language learners (ELLs) from your state and from your readings, create a brochure, newsletter, or Glogster to be used to inform parents in your community about English immersion policies and programs. Include the following:

• Historical developments that led to the policies regarding the role of English in their children’s classrooms.
• Pros for the English immersion program in the community or school you have chosen.
• At least two websites that enable parents to get additional information about the English immersion programs that parents would need to know about.
• A description of the characteristics of a relevant English immersion program in terms of instructional strategies, time spent in the classroom with other ELL students, and time spent in regular classrooms with native speakers. You can find this information on the Arizona Department of Education website or from the Department of Education website of your state.

For this assignment, you’ll create a lightweight white paper for a fictitious Initial Coin Offering (ICO). You will use your imagination to create a brand new, hopefully unique, ICO, and develop a lightweight white paper that presents your ICO to prospective investors. A full white paper takes considerable time and effort to create. For this assignment, you’ll only be asked to provide the most essential elements. 

The goal is for you to be creative in your application of blockchain technology, and the explain your ideas. 

To start, read the following article: How to Write a Good White Paper for Your ICO

–  https://applicature.com/blog/token-offerings/write-good-white-paper-ico

Then, explore new and existing blockchain projects in any domain that interests you. You can start with an Internet search for “blockchain use cases” and “current blockchain projects.” Identify a few that you find interesting and learn about each one. Then, think of a new idea how you could apply blockchain in a new and useful way. 

Once you have your idea, create your white paper. Your 6-9 pages paper should be in APA format, and have the following sections:

1) Title – a headline that will catch your reader’s imagination

2) Abstract – Summary of what your whitepaper contains

3) Introduction – Introduce readers to the problem you will solve, the motivation to solve it, and how you’ll present your solution.

4) Problem/Market consideration – Explain the current situation (expand the problem from the introduction).

5) Solution – Describe your solution.

6) Summary – Close the sale.

7) Reference Lists

To help with the preparation, submit a one- to two-page outline containing the following headings, and include a summary of what will be discussed under each heading:

• Topic and statistical method.
• Statement of the problem.
• Review of the Literature.
• Conclusion.

Find one to three relevant research articles  (we need 10 sources in the final paper):

• Support the importance of your      problem,
• Discuss previous work on      modeling/analysis in the area, and
• Cover technical aspects of the      methods from class.

Scholarly articles can be found in the UC Online Library, in databases such as JSTOR or ProQuest. At least three of your articles must be peer-reviewed, full-text articles from scholarly journals.

Note: In this assignment, only submit an outline and references in APA format. You must have short summaries under the headings but do not submit the entire paper. In the Final Paper, you will explore in detail one of the statistical research approaches discussed in the course, applying it in the context of a specific application or methodological study. This will help you gain a deeper understanding of the topic of your choice and gain experience in translating these ideas into practice. Note that this paper is not about examining the content of research; it is about examining how the data is analyzed, looking at a statistical technique, and discussing how that technique is used in research studies.

Begin by choosing an application domain, data set, or methodological question of interest to you that incorporates at least one of the statistical methods presented in the course. You are encouraged to choose research problems relevant to your own research interests and activities related to public health, finance, marketing, engineering, medicine, etc…. field of study.

APA “Find the Errors” Task

• Using the “Comments” function, correctly write out the APA rule that applies to the identified errors.
