Place citations where appropriate throughout your outline. As with any graduate-level assignment, you must include your sources for where you got the information. A full reference listing for each source cited should be on a “Reference” page at the end of your outline. Once again, follow APA formatting for your reference listings–however, you can single space each listing (double-space inbetween each separate listing). Remember: Your reference listing should take me directly to your source.

Here is the scenario:Hello Bradley,

That is exactly what I was going to suggest. I will have my team develop some recruitment and selection strategies that should work well for your business. One important thing to remember, and my team is aware of this: we need to focus on strategies that will work in Austin, Texas. The strategies you use there might be different from strategies you would use in other places.

I shouldn’t need to get any additional information from you for this task. We’ll start working right away, and I should have some strategies to you soon.

Hey Traci,

It’s Bradley again. I got the training plan you sent over and it looks fabulous. Your team did a great job. Make sure to give them my kudos! I feel like we’re really close to having everything we need. I just need some recruitment and selection strategies, and I should have everything I need from you. What do you think?

Hello Bradley,

Thank you for your e-mail, and yes, we will provide a training plan for you using the information you provided for us. We should have something drafted for you soon. I will be in touch when we do, but don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Traci Goldeman, Consultant Manager

Atwood and Allen Consulting

Hey Traci,

Thanks for the performance management strategies you sent over. There were some great recommendations given. I’m excited to see what your team can come up with for a training plan. I know there are a lot of variables involved, but one of my concerns is about the cost of the training plan.

Just keep in mind that my annual net revenue for the first year is going to be -$50,000. That will change, though, because my expected annual revenue growth is -5%. You’ll probably also need to consider that I’m planning for 25 employees. Oh, and one more thing: I expect my annual turnover to be about 10%.

If your team could come up with an effective and efficient training plan, that would be tremendous.

Thank you so much,

The Trident Session Long Project (SLP) is, in fact, a session long project. However, each the four discrete assignments is uploaded and graded separately. The purpose of the project is to embed the concepts of the course in a real-world example of your own choosing.

Pick an organization to examine throughout the course. It may be one you work for, or have worked for; but in any event, it should be one you’re familiar with, and about which you’re able to collect information. It’s particularly important you be able to collect information about the following logistical functions:

Facilities layout and warehousing (Module 1)
Product distribution (Module 2)
Logistical quality control (Module 3)
Reverse logistics (Module 4)

A few words about each of these broadly-defined functions may be helpful.

Facilities layout and warehousing, from the logistical point of view, is primarily concerned with the temporary storage, management and retrieval of materiel received in advance of immediate requirements, and products either awaiting sale or being held for customers in advance of agreed-upon delivery dates.
Product distribution is the process by which the goods and services created by the organization are made available to users.
Logistical quality control is the process of monitoring logistical processes, identifying problems, and resolving them. It’s a continuous process.
Reverse logistics pertains to the organization’s involvement in the movement and disposition of goods following their use by customers. This includes such topics as customer returns, collection and disposal of wastes, and recycling.

For the first SLP, please address the following topics:

1. The name of the organization

2. Its primary business or mission

3. Why you chose this business

4. How it handles its warehousing functions

Submit the assignment for grading by the end of this Module.
SLP Assignment Expectations

Week 2 Video Lecture – Capacitive Reactance
Consider the circuit below:

For each value of the frequency in the chart below, perform calculations for Ic, Vc and Xc.
Frequency Calculated Ic Calculated Vc Calculated XC Measured IC Measured Vc XC (From Measured)
100 Hz
500 Hz
1000 Hz
1500 Hz
10000 Hz
20000 Hz
Construct the circuit with MultiSIM using a 10% tolerance for the capacitor. Replace the AC source shown with the Agilent Function Generator.

*Note: One way to set the tolerance on a component is to do the following:
Double-click on the component and select the Value tab.
Select or enter the desired value in the Tolerance field and click OK.
Complete the chart by adjusting the values of frequency and measuring Ic and Vc using the Agilent Multi-meter and then from these values calculating the value of Xc in the last column.

*Note: Current is measured in series with the capacitor and voltage is measured in parallel (across) the capacitor. Capture screenshots showing the measured values of Ic and Vc using the Agilent Multi-meter.
Discuss the following:
Describe the relationship between the frequencyand the capacitive reactance.
What effect does frequency have on Ic and Vc for a fixed value of capacitance in this circuit?
For a frequency of 1000Hz, what would be the effect of increasing the value of the capacitor on the current Ic and the voltage Vc?
Why is it necessary to measure current in series with a device and voltage across it?
Why is it necessary to determine Xc from measured values of current and voltage as opposed to measuring it directly with a digital multi-meter? (It may be helpful to perform research on the internet to gain more insight into the topic of this question.)

Include all calculations, screenshot of measurements, the table results of part 2 and the answers to part 5 in a word processing document and submit as EE115W2LabYourGID.docx, or an equivalent word processing file extension

Evaluate the ethical, legal, and related economic issues relevant to the problem and potential solutions that you have come up with. Are there ethical, legal, or economic issues with the problem itself? If so, what are they, and how can they be overcome? Are there any ethical, legal, or economic issues with any of the potential solutions? If so, can they be overcome or do some of the potential solutions need to be ruled out based on these potential issues? When you have completed your assessment, you will determine which solutions are no longer relevant and narrow down your list of potential solutions. Be sure to indicate which solutions will no longer be explored for potential application to your project.

Support your paper with a minimum of three (3) additional resources, which may include your text(s) from previous courses.

Length: 5-7 pages not including title and reference pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Reader Response Essay 3-4 Pages

[Pin It]

Read “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” by Gabriel García Márquez (Attached below). Reflect and respond to the story in a 3- to 4-page reader-response essay.

Remember that reader-response essays are less formal than other types of academic writing. You may use the personal pronoun “I” and may write about whatever strikes you from the story. You may also choose to write from one of the following prompts:

Explain how “good” and “evil” co-exist in this story, and which one you think wins out in the end. Use specific lines of text from the story to support your assertion.
Was the old man with the enormous wings truly an angel? Why or why not? Use specific lines of text from the story to support your assertion.
Gabriel García Márquez is said to have fathered the genre of “magical realism” with this story. What parts of the story felt magical to you and what parts felt real? How do they work together to convey the overall message of the story? Use specific lines of text from the story to support your assertion.
Does the fact that Márquez is a South American writer have any influence on the developments of this story? Does its international setting have any impact on the reader’s potential understanding of the story?

For a successful paper:

Have a strong thesis statement at the end of your introduction paragraph.
Use a “hook” in the introduction paragraph to grab your readers’ attention.
Use specific textual support from the short story in the body of your paper.
Finish with a strong conclusion that summarizes your main points, restates the thesis in some way, and possibly returns to the initial “hook.”
Proofread for errors in spelling, grammar, and writing mechanics. Vary sentence structure and sentence length to add interest.
Follow correct APA guidelines
Use APA when citing the text; include a reference page citation at the end of the paper for the short story in the anthology
