School Versus Work A. The school you would like to attend costs $100,000. To help finance your education, you need to choose whether or not to sell any of your 500 shares of Apple stock you bought five years ago, 100 Apple Bonds (3.25% coupon rate) that are five years from their 10-year maturity date, or a combination of both. Provide the appropriate data and calculations that you would perform to make this decision. You need to figure out how to finance your education. You will need to look up the current market value of Apple Stock and you own 500 shares of the stock.  Do you want to sell this investment or a part of the investment to help pay for your $100,000 school bill?  Why or why not?  In addition, you own 100 Apple Bonds (each with a $1,000 face value and a 3.25% coupon rate) that are five years from their 10-year maturity date. Do you want to cash in all or part of these bonds to help finance your education? Why or why not? B. What are the advantages and disadvantages of selling a combination of stocks and bonds? Be sure to support your answers. C. Suppose that you choose to sell your stocks, bonds, or a combination of both. What is your choice, and what is your financial reasoning behind this choice? Consider supporting your answer with quantitative data. D. Suppose that you choose to accept the job. What is your financial reasoning behind this choice? Be sure to support your answer with quantitative data. Things to consider: If you do not want to sell your Apple investments or any part of the stock or any of the bonds, you will not be able to go to school right away and you will probably want to accept the job to earn money to help pay for school. Or, if you decide to finance your education, with your investment money, maybe you don’t accept the job, pay and concentrate on your education and get a different job after school.

Write a Book Review! Book reviews do not just summarize the plot of a novel. They attempt to explain the importance of the work, its literary quality, and/or explain its meaning. They can participate in interpretation, they always use close reading, but they are also allowed a subjective, rather than objective thesis. This means, the author gets to have an opinion about the work, particularly pertaining to whether to book is “good” or “bad” or somewhere in between. For this assignment, you will choose ONE of the questions below to guide your book review: What is the meaning of The Alchemist? Why is The Alchemist an important book?   But you must also, in your review, answer this question: Is the book good or bad and why?   Essentially, readers of reviews are looking to know whether or not they want to read the book, so your review should not only give them insight into the major themes of the book but also its overall quality and worth WITHOUT spoiling the plot. No spoilers, please!   Requirements: At least three references to specific parts of the novel either through summary or direct quotation. A persuasive argument about the quality/value of the book.

Each Discussion needs one reference.  Complete your Week 1 discussion prompt: How do you use statistics in your work as a nurse or healthcare provider? Find and discuss at least two examples of how statistics are used in your field. Do you feel like statistics are a vital part of the nursing field? Why or why not? Complete your Week 2 discussion prompt: Multiple studies conducted in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom show that the probability of dying in the hospital is higher if you are admitted on the weekend. Why might this be? What factors might contribute to this probability?  What could hospitals do to reduce/eliminate this phenomenon? Complete your Week 3 discussion prompt: Using survey data to calculate statistics can be extremely valuable, but you must also make sure that the sample and questions are unbiased. Design a pair of questions that are related to the same healthcare issue: one that is unbiased and another that would result in a bias in one direction or the other.   Examples: 1.       Do you think that the rate of type II diabetes diagnoses will increase over the next 10 years? 2.       Given the large increase in childhood obesity in the United States, do you think that type II diabetes diagnoses will increase over the next 10 years? Discuss why it is important to create a truly unbiased sample and survey questions. Then, look at your classmates’ examples and comment on how their examples do or do not create a bias. Do not state which of your own questions is biased and which is unbiased. Your peers will determine which is which in their responses to you.    Complete your Week 4 discussion prompt: Find an article about the misuse of statistics and share what you have learned from the article. Then, find an example of when statistics were misused/skewed and state the reason why you think the statistics were reported that way. Complete your Week 5 discussion prompt: Maybe you have considered buying a term life insurance policy. The expected value of any term life insurance product yields a positive expected value for the insurance company and a negative expected value for you, meaning the insurance company will make profits by selling their insurance products. Would you still buy the term life insurance? Why or why not? Are there other examples other than insurance that uses this same concept? Complete your Week 6 discussion prompt:  Take a look at the website below: Hospital Comparison This website allows people to compare the results seen at different hospitals across things such as patient experience and timely and effective care. Visit the website and compare the hospitals in your local area. What statistics stand out to you? Do you believe that these statistics should/could play a role in patient care? Complete your Week 7 discussion prompt: You may have heard it said before that “correlation does not imply causation.” This can also be called spurious correlation, which is defined as a correlation between two variables that does not result from a direct relationship between them. Instead, it results from the variables’ relationship to other variables. One example is the relationship between crime and ice cream sales. Ice cream sales and crime rates are highly correlated. However, ice cream sales do not cause crime; instead, it is both variables’ relationship to weather and temperature. Do some research and find some interesting, or even funny, examples of spurious correlation. Share, cite your source, and discuss. Why is this an example of spurious correlation?  How do you know? Do not use the same example given from another student. Make sure you read your classmates’ posts before submitting your example. Complete your Week 8 discussion prompt: In Week 1, you were asked to analyze the use of statistics in health care. Now that you have expanded your knowledge base, let’s reexamine that relationship. Have you thought of new ways in which statistics could be incorporated into the work you do? Are there ways in which you could improve processes or patient care using these techniques (related to statistics)? Give specific examples and suggestions. Complete your Week 9 discussion prompt: Out of all the concepts learned throughout this course, which one was the most challenging to you, and why? Which concept do you see yourself using the most in your career?

Provide a review of each of Tuckman’s five stages of group formation and identify what stage(s) are evident in the case. Explain your answer.  Define Schein’s three behavioral profiles roles during team entry and identify how the profiles are demonstrated in the case. Explain your answer. Was the communication among the participants in the case effective or not? Justify your answer (this is not just an opinion). The textbook describes two main types of conflict. Define them and then describe the type (s) of conflict that are evident in the case Propose how Denson should manage the conflict in this case using one direct conflict management and one indirect conflict management approach? Explain your response. Identify one specific task leadership activity and one specific maintenance activity that should be encouraged. Identify the most significant disruptive behavior that should be discouraged. Identify the most obvious individual motivational problems experienced by Jing, Mahonney and Tanney. How should Denson motivate each person (be sure to provide a specific motivational suggestion for each person based on their motivational needs. Ensure that you have at least one suggestion from each of the motivational theory/techniques: content theories, process theories and reinforcement strategies).
