Elevator Pitch

(Elevator Pitch)

I Should Hire You: Elevator Speech Presentation 

An elevator speech is an excellent way to convey your skills while networking and seeking employment. Typically, an elevator speech is a one-minute summary of who you are, why you are qualified, and what you have to offer the organization or industry. Creating this brief sales-pitch will help better prepare you to discuss your career goals whenever the opportunity presents itself. This type of interaction might occur at a networking event, during a job interview, or within a social setting such as a party or a ride in an elevator.

Watch The Elevator Pitch video about creating an elevator speech, and design a one-minute sales pitch tailored toward your chosen career path. It is recommended that you also review the How to Craft an Effective Elevator Speech online resource. Consider the person in your field who you would most like the opportunity to speak with. Keep this person in mind throughout the process. It is important to specifically discuss your areas of expertise in learning and cognition and how they could be applied to benefit the organization or industry and your future success is this field. Briefly explain any theoretical perspectives that apply to these areas. Once you have determined what should be included in your pitch, you will record your 30-second to one-minute audio or video presentation using any recording software of your choice. (Quick-start guides for Screencast-O-Matic and YouTube are provided for your convenience should you decide to use these.) It is recommended that you create a script or, at minimum, a list of talking points prior to creating your recording. For an explanation of steps to follow when creating an elevator speech, read the PSY620: Preparing Your Elevator Speech document.

Once you have completed your recording, share your pitch with the class by copying and pasting the link for your recording into your discussion post. Include the name of the person you chose to give your speech to as well as a 50- to 150-word description of the individual’s background, industry, area of expertise, and your rationale for choosing this person.

Guided Response: Review and listen to several of your colleague’s posts/elevator speeches and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion. Provide a critique of your colleague’s presentation of the following information:

  • Who he or she is
  • Why he or she is qualified
  • What he or she has to offer the organization/industry

Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

Homework Question For Phyllis Young

Please fix this assignment by adding a 5th article and completing the rest of the assignment if that is ok with you. The cost will be $25 if you choose to complete this.

Thanks! Enclosed are the notes from the last assignment that was submitted.

Nice job on your first assignment!  I really like the topic of your proposal. However your question and hypothesis are not written in a way that can be tested through a quantitative research study.  What about something like this:

Which driving distraction is most frequently present during the time of an auto accident?

And then your hypothesis needs to be a very specific, directional, and testable answer to the question (your educated guess). Also it will most often mirror the question in the way it is written.

Cell phone use is the most frequent driving distraction present during the time of an auto accident.

In your annotated bibliography it looks like you found some really good articles. However you only have 4 articles rather than the required 5.  Also it looks like all of your articles came out of a book, rather than from peer-reviewed journals which was a requirement for this paper. In the future when you are asked to use peer-reviewed articles make sure that they come from peer-reviewed journals.

Assignment 2: Final Project: Sampling

Based on the feedback you received on your submission from last week, submit a revised draft of your paper with this additional information:

  1. Five additional references that could be used for your research paper and include a 1-2 sentence description for each of the five additional references, explaining how they fit with the research topic and the research question proposed. Make sure that these references come from scholarly sources using Argosy’s library resources.
  2. A  very detailed outline of what you would like to cover in the intro/lit review of your paper. Write it as an outline and think about what you want each paragraph or section to cover. Paste your references into each section where the information from that article applies to the topic. Below is an example of the outline although the references have not been pasted in yet:
    1. Introduction or Statement of the Problem (e.g. Predictors of Depression in Men)
      1. Research question (E.g. What factors predict depression in men? For example, age, marital status, family history, stressors).
      2. Why is it important/implications  (E.g. xx% of men are depressed; less likely to seek treatment; if we can identify who is at risk, may be able to direct them to treatment sooner)
      3. Revised hypothesis based on feedback from the instructor
    2. Review of the Literature (the following is an example for above topic):
      1. Brief description of depression, symptoms, and any unique symptoms for men (Cite articles from which you will obtain this information).
      2. How widespread is it? Stats on depression in general but also stats on depression in men (Cite articles from which you will obtain this information).
      3. List factors that put men at risk for depression (Cite articles).
        1. Difficulty communicating distress or sadness (Cite articles).
        2. Job/work pressures (Cite articles).
      4. Demographic characteristics (Cite articles).
        1. Relationship between age and depression (Cite articles).
        2. Relationship between marital status and depression (Cite articles).
  3. A 1-2 page description of the sample you would like to use for your study, that provides the answer to the following questions:
    1. What sampling technique would you use?
    2. Does the sample generalize to the population? Explain why or why not.
    3. What inclusion criteria would be used? What exclusion criteria would be used, if any?
    4. What ethical issues might be encountered when collecting your information from this sample?
  4. Be sure to also submit all your ten references (the five from last week and the five new ones you added) in an APA-style reference page. Be sure to also include an APA-style title page with your submission. Your paper should be at least 2-3 pages long. Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Language And Reading Acquisition

(Language And Reading Acquisition)

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

 Language and Reading Acquisition

Prior to beginning this discussion please read “Language and Literacy in Educational Settings” (pp. 169-178), “Neuroscience of Reading” (pp. 179-184), “Learning to Read” (pp. 185-191), and “Reading Comprehension: Reading for Learning” (pg. 192-197) in your required text.

Based on your resources this week, choose three areas of language and reading acquisition that you found most interesting and that were unknown to you prior to this week. Explain the theoretical perspectives of each of these chosen areas. Apply skeptical inquiry to a brief discussion about why language acquisition is an important area for scholars and educators to understand when developing learning opportunities. Apply the concept of language and reading acquisition to your own academic success. Has your own language development affected your success as a student? As an employee? How? Based on the resources and your current knowledge, do you believe you could develop areas personally that would be beneficial to you, your loved ones, or your friends? Your initial post should be 450 to 600 words in length and thoroughly discuss each of the elements in the prompt.

Guided Response: Review several of your colleague’s posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse. Did your peer choose differing areas of interest? Does your peer’s explanation of the theoretical perspectives assist you in understanding the content more clearly? Share a personal experience that aligns with one of your peer’s perspectives or explanations about learning and reading acquisition.

Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post. Peer responses may vary in length but should be detailed and thought provoking. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

Assignment 3: Political Personalities

Assignment 3: Political Personalities

(Assignment 3: Political Personalities)

As we have seen this week when looking at both psychoanalytic and neo-psychoanalytic theory, much of our mental health and success in adulthood is related to the events and relationships of our childhood. Much like Freud, Alfred Adler believed that childhood events are pivotal for the adult. For Adler, his pivotal childhood events were the development of rickets which kept him from walking until the age of four and contracting a near-fatal case of pneumonia at age five. These events served to inculcate a lifelong ambition which centered around his becoming a physician in order to focus on the curing of deadly diseases.

According to Alfred Adler, all people have moments when they feel inferior. For many, such moments will lead them to strive to compensate for that weakness. When this happens, it leads to what he calls “superiority striving,” in which the person is motivated by his or her feelings of inferiority to overcome and strive for betterment, achievement, and perfection.

It is important to note that superiority striving is different from simply striving for power. Adler considered this an unhealthy desire because the sole goal is power. The way that someone strives to meet his or her goals from an Adlerian point of view is referred to as a style of life.

Adler is also known for his study of birth order and its impact on personality.
Research Adler’s theory using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Choose a social or political leader (current or past) to examine through an Adlerian framework of superiority striving and style of life.
    • Superiority Striving
      • What might be the motivation behind this leader’s career choice, according to Adler’s theory? What was this person’s perceived inferiority or weakness? How did this person obtain his or her high level of superiority striving? For example, Franklin Roosevelt’s bout with polio may have been responsible for some of his motivation.
    • Style of Life
      • What was his/her goal and unique style of life that could be used to achieve this goal? What steps did this person take to overcome their perceived inferiority?
      • Did this leader act out of social interest or for personal gain? What was the long-term outcome of his/her striving?
    • Birth Order
      • How would you apply Adler’s theory of birth order to this personality?

Format your paper so it is double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, and with normal one-inch margins. Include a title page with a running head, an abstract, and a reference page. Do this for all the papers for this course.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.

By Wednesday, June 24, 2015, deliver your assignment to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox.

Statistical Hypothesis Testing Procedures

(Statistical Hypothesis Testing Procedures)

Please Follow Instructions. Answer Every Question. Al Least 260 Worlds In APA Format. Research From (2013 -2018) Academic References Need.SUBTANTIVE POST Please. Thanks

Comment 1

T-test(Statistical Hypothesis Testing Procedures)

The T-Statistic is used in a T test running a hypothesis test.  You will use T-Statistic with a p value.  The p value tells us the odds are that the results could have happened by chance.  A big difference in the t-score is that the population standard deviation will need to be estimated (therefore the population standard deviation is unknown until estimated).

T-test is used when:   the sample size is below 30 and it has an unknown population standard deviation

Z-test

The Z-score (also known as standard score) lets us calculate the probability of a score occurring within a normal frequency distribution.  Also, the Z-score lets us compare two scores from other different normal distributions.  This is done by changing scores in a normal distribution to z-scores resulting in a standard normal distribution.  In a normal frequency distribution by standardizing the score we can find out the probability of the score.  In a normal frequency distribution (bell curve) a z-score is the number of standard deviation from the mean.  This is a measure of how many standard deviations above or below the population mean.  Z-score results are used to compare results from a test to a normal population (Statistics How to, 2018).  For example if you want to compare a student test average to the rest of the class.

Z-test– lets us to decide if the sample is different from the population mean. Four things must be known when using z-score:  1. the population mean  2. The population standard deviation 3. The sample mean and  4. The sample size.

z-test is used when:  the sample size is above 30 and the standard deviation of the population is known or if the standard deviation of the population is known but the sample size is small then a t-test is used.

Comment 2(Statistical Hypothesis Testing Procedures)

Good morning Instructor and classmates; The statistical procedure for testing whether or not a chance s credible for the explanation of an experimental finding is called hypothesis testing. One of the key concepts in hypothesis testing is that of significance  level or, the alpha level, which specifies the probability level for the evidencee to be an unreasonable estimate. (Banerjee, 2009).

An alpha level of 0.05 is the recommended pattern for a two-tailed test. The alpha level is considered based on the individual’s personal conditions of how strong the individual wants the evidence to be. The alpha level is also the probability or p-value that researchers accept as being significant, and can also be interpreted as the opportunity of making a Type I or Type II error. When you set a more stringent (smaller) alpha like such as  .01 or .001 it decreases the probability of making   Type 1 error, the likelihood of making a  Type II error, suggesting that an alpha level .05 is a satisfying compromise between the making of Type I and Type II errors.

For some experiments, if the consequence of the applying of null hypothesis is extremely serious, for example, if null hypothesis applies,  there may be death, injury or serious disease happening, then you want to try your best to avoid the type I error, that is, avoid the situation that null hypothesis is true but you reject it. As the significance level is the probability you will make the type 1 error. So for such experiments with serious results, we want to make the level smaller than standard situation. So  or such experiments, if you can’t tolerate a 5% (0.05) chance of being wrong, use a lower significance level, 0.01 or 0.001 for example. 0.001 is common if there’s a possibility of death or serious disease.

The first kind of error that involves the rejection of a null hypothesis where it is actually true is called Type I error.  Type I errors are equivalent to false positives.  For example,  A drug like Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) that is being used to treat various types of cancer can have dangerous results if the Null hypothesis is rejected because this would claim that this drug does not have any effects on the cancer. However, if the Null hypothesis is true, when the drug ( Cytoxan) does not combat cancer. As a result, the drug (Cytoxan) has falsely claimed to have a positive effect on treating the cancer.

Type II error is equivalent to false negatives. A Type II error occurs if it showed that the drug Cyclophosphamide ( Cytoxan) has no effect on treating the cancer, but in actuality it does. In conclusion, even though Type and Type II errors are part of the process of hypothesis testing and errors can’t be completely eliminated, one type of error may be minimize by decreasing the probability of the type of error in order for the probability of the other type of error to increase.

Desirable In-Law Traits Analysis

(Desirable In-Law Traits Analysis)

CLASSMATE #-1—K.P.The research question for this study is what traits do parents desire in daughter-in-laws and son-in-laws (Apostolou, 2010).

The research question for this study is what traits do parents desire in daughter-in-laws and son-in-laws (Apostolou, 2010). This is an interesting topic to study because there is not much research regarding this topic. For this article, there are a couple hypothesizes. The first is that parents prefer an in law that will benefit them and their family (Apostolou, 2010). The second hypothesis is that the desired qualities are different depending on the sex of the in law (Apostolou, 2010). Thirdly, a parent’s preference towards and in law depends on the society that they live in (Apostolou, 2010). Societal norms can play a key role in any social decisions. The methods used were collecting data from 186 pre-industrial societies and researchers observed various data about marriage (Apostolou, 2010). Overall, the results found that there were key characteristics or traits differ in son-in-laws versus daughter-in-laws (Apostolou, 2010). Some examples of top characteristics for a son-in-law are having good character, good worker, favorable social status, and being wealthy (Apostolou, 2010). The results for a daughter-in-law’s traits are good family background, good character, good worker and good health (Apostolou, 2010). It is interesting that wealth is far more important in a son-in-law than a daughter-in-law (Apostolou, 2010). I think this is due to more traditional view of a man and woman’s roles within a relationship. In many countries, women still do not have as many rights and freedom as we do here in the United States. Both categories value good character in future in laws as a top three characteristic (Apostolou, 2010). I think it would be interesting to just focus on the United States instead of such a wide variety of countries. I would be interested to learn if the overall results would be different from our society and others.

CLASSMATE #-2  J. P.(Desirable In-Law Traits Analysis)

This study offered three hypotheses: parents desire traits in an in-law that will be beneficial to them and their family, these traits are predicated by the gender of the in-law, and the desired traits are also incumbent upon the subsistence type of culture (hunting/gathering or agro-pastoral societies) (Apostolou, 2010).

The population of interest was all parents in 186 pre-industrial societies with children for whom marriage to a future in-law was considered or to be considered in the future. The sample used was collected from the 67 societies within that population that had information on marriage type available and in which courtship (children select their spouse, rather than the parents) was not the typical pattern of marriage (Apostolou, 2010).

To determine the frequencies of preferred traits in in-laws as reported by parents, the authors used the ratio chi-squared test. Since this is nominal data and there were so few observations for each trait in each category, this was the optimum test. Priority was assumed based on the frequency of use for the traits in question. For this study, the dependent variable was the frequency of responses per particular trait. The traits include character, family background, work ethic, industriousness, social status, health, looks, economic prospects, and chastity (Apostolou, 2010). Since these traits are categorical, but ranked by frequency, I believe they fit into the ordinal data type. The independent variables were gender of the prospective in-law (daughter or son) and they type of society (agro-pastoral or hunter-gatherer). This data is nominal categorical. Statistical analyses revealed that gender does yield several statistically significant differences in traits: resource acquisition, working ability, amount of resources/wealth, social status, and good economic prospects were more frequently reported for sons-in-law than for daughters-in-laws. Conversely, parents seek daughters-in-law who are chaste at a frequency that is statistically significant. For the subsistence differences, agro-pastoral societies value wealth and family background at frequencies statistically significant from the hunter-gatherer communities. The authors concluded that the traits parents reported as important do in fact serve a purpose in being beneficial for themselves and their kin, failing to reject the null hypothesis.

Critique:(Desirable In-Law Traits Analysis)

The authors should have explicitly listed their test as a chi-square test of independence because they are looking for two variables- desired traits and gender or desired traits and type of societal subsistence, making this a more complex test than what a chi-square would be able to discern since it was designed to measure only one independent variable (Sukal, 2013). The null hypothesis (1) would have been written out as “there is no significant relationship between the traits reported as important to parents and the potential beneficence of those traits to the parents and kin” with alternate as there is a significant relationship between the traits reported as important to parents and the potential beneficence of those traits to the parents and kin”. For the second, the null hypothesis (2) would be written out as “there is no significant relationship between sex of the in-law and preferred traits”, and the alternate “there is a significant relationship between sex of the in-law and preferred traits”. Finally, the last null hypothesis (3) would have been “there is no significant difference in societal type of subsistence and preferred traits” compared to the alternate “there is a significant difference in societal type of subsistence and preferred traits”.

According to Coughlan, Cronan, and Ryan (2007), there are multiple components to examine when critiquing a journal article. The authors stated the purpose of the study poignantly and titled the article appropriately. The content flowed well enough, and the discussion presented the correlations discovered as correlations vice causation and offered well-thought out speculations as to why the result panned out as it did. For example, the authors pointed out that in some of these societies, the marriage prospects of daughters is much more closely controlled by parents, therefore potentially providing more responses of desired traits in sons-in-law than for prospective daughters-in-law (Apostolou, 2010). With more responses and therefore a larger sample of desired traits in males, the data for preferred traits in sons-in-law will potentially be skewed. The parameters in the results were not formatted like the rest of the font (maybe a problem with my computer?) which made the results and discussion a little tricky to decipher. I am a little speculative about the information gathering technique- analyzing data from the SPCC and having two coders formulate algorithms to find the correlation between samples. The authors did not get into the specifics, but they did mention how both coders independently created their code sheets with small subsamples to test for biases before using the full sample of societies. The resources were correctly

Summary(Desirable In-Law Traits Analysis)

This study was conducted in an attempt to find what parents in pre-industrial societies find as the most desirable traits in prospective son/daughters-in-law and if the type of society or gender are driving forces behind those preferences. After utilizing a chi-square test, researchers found that only one statistically significant differences did in fact exist in the parents’ preferred traits for prospective in-laws between sex and subsistence types. Certain traits appeared to be valued more for the males, while other traits more so for females. The subsistence type of the society also yielded statistically significant differences for preferred traits. All of the preferred traits, for both variables tested, were the type that would prove beneficial for the parents and families.

The peer response has to be from a peer-reviewed NURSING journal less than 5 y/o.

New technologies have significantly changed the way nurses practice, conduct research, manage and administrate, and advance their education (Blais & Hayes, 2016). In today’s health environment technology and education are the most essential parts in innovate nursing practice within the healthcare system. Nursing Informatics has become the cornerstone in nursing, in which it has influences the day-to-day operations in the practice of nursing in several areas such as data recovery, patient care, electronic patient records and imaging informatics. The competency of nursing informatics can simply be determined through computer skills, informatics knowledge and informatics skills. Informatics has the potential to assist in identifying the key competency of a beginning nurse, experienced nurse, informatics specialist, and informatics innovator.  According to Blais and Hayes (2016) informatics nurses are challenged to continue to research and apply the appropriate codes and laws to protect patients and to use information tools to improve the quality of patient care.

However, the success of students’ learning and their perception of a ‘good’ placement however are influenced by a number of factors extending beyond the current standards of competency (Barry & Martin, 2018). Ultimately, it’s the resposibitly of the nurse educator to ensure that student’s are begin properly assess for competency and supporting the students technical and clinical learning abilities. Nursing education made the transition from hospital-based training to the tertiary sector over 20 years ago (Algoso, 2015). However, grave concerns about the quality and quantity of undergraduate nurses‘ clinical experiences prior to graduation remains (Algoso, 2015). According to Lyons, Brunero and Lamont (2015) nursing today involves critical thinking, reflection and problem solving; partnering with patients to promote shared decision- making. Moreover, evidence base suggest that nursing practice changes patient care improvements relying on multifaceted, innovation and patient centered focus. Education has revolutionized nursing by improving the future of nursing through communication and forming partnerships between education, regulation, as well as in nursing practice in order to prevent any and all adverse outcome in the healthcare industry.

Nursing Initiatives: PostEarthquake Haiti

Nursing Initiatives: PostEarthquake Haiti

(Nursing Initiatives: PostEarthquake Haiti)

Question description

Please write a Paragraph answering to this discussion below with your opinion. Please include citations and references in alphabetical order in case of another source.

In her Diary Journal 3, the GCU student nurse reports “amputation, stump revision, horrible infections and dressing changes like can’t be explained” following the Haiti earthquake in 2010. To prevent the spread of infections and improve the situation, one primary prevention initiative done by nurses could be to educate the population and local medical staff in hospital about safe and proper sanitation practices, including hand washing and personal hygiene, sterilizing of medical instruments… Nurses could also give the basic immunizations to Haitians in order to avoid the spread of epidemics such as measles, hepatitis, rubella etc. These prevention action can be started as soon as the nurses arrive to Haiti.

Starting in phases 3 or 4, nurses can start assist the local doctors and surgeons in providing care to Haitian patients, in hospitals, clinic or even in the streets. As the GCU student remarks in her 4th video, the task is enormous, but Haitians are always grateful for the help: “As the care providers we felt tremendous appreciation and thankfulness from the throngs of people we have treated. Despite their amputations, broken limbs, massively infected wounds, filthy dressings…”

Tertiary prevention initiatives take more importance towards the end of the intervention, when the immediate emergency has declined and when more time and resources are available to plan for the future. At this point in times nurses can start implementing initiatives to help people manage their long-term health problems and injuries (chronic diseases, permanent impairments), to improve as much as possible their ability to function, their quality of life and their life expectancy. Support groups could be created so as to share strategies for living well. The GCU nursing student also remarked that many people had to be amputated after the earthquake. In partnership with the Haitian government and local authority, vocational rehabilitation programs could be developed to retrain amputated workers for new jobs fitting their disability.

One crucial need is for instance to provide teaching and educational support for the Haitian national staff, so that they can continue to cure patients and victims appropriately in the future (when international volunteers and NGOs retreat), and that they be better prepared in the event of other catastrophes. In particular, it is important that the Haitian staff follows up with treatment adherence for victims of the earthquake, and continues immunization campaigns in vulnerable populations.

For all nursing interventions, collaborations with the other medical NGOs present in Haiti would be useful, so as to best deploy available resources, make sure to treat as many people in need as possible, avoid duplication of initiatives and avoid the concentration of resources in a few areas. NGOs present in Haiti in 2010 included Doctors Without Borders, Relief International, International Medical Corps, Medshare. Collaboration with local authorities and the Haitian government is also crucial to ensure the maximal impact of initiatives taken, and coordination of relief efforts.
