Real-world example to the operations or planning of a business

Describe a real-world example of each element by applying it to the operations or planning of a business where you have worked. Next, choose one of the elements and give an example of how you would apply it as the manager for a health care facility (i.e., primary care physician’s practice, a specialty practice, long-term care, clinic, hospital, etc.).
1. Planning. The financial manager identifies the steps that must be taken to accomplish the organization’s objectives. Thus, the purpose is to identify objectives and then to identify the steps required for accomplishing these objectives.
2. Controlling. The financial manager makes sure that each area of the organization is following the plans that have been established. One way to do this is to study current reports and compare them with reports from earlier periods. This comparison often shows where the organization may need attention because that area is not effective. The reports that the manager uses for this purpose are often called feedback. The purpose of controlling is to ensure that plans are being followed.
3. Organizing and directing. When organizing, the financial manager decides how to use the resources of the organization to most effectively carry out the plans that have been established. When directing, the manager works on a day to-day basis to keep the results of the organizing running efficiently. The purpose is to ensure effective resource use and provide daily supervision.
4. Decision making. The financial manager makes choices among available alternatives. Decision making actually occurs parallel to planning, organizing, and controlling. All types of decision making rely on information, and the primary tasks are analysis and evaluation. Thus, the purpose is to make informed choices.
Cognitive and affective methods
You are a community health educator in the Southwest United States. Your county health department received a grant to create a new initiative that is designed to decrease smoking rates in the county. Your health commissioner and Board of Health want to create a team of teachers, parents, community leaders, and public health professionals to develop an intervention.
Discuss which cognitive and affective methods you believe would be useful for this purpose, and why? Give specific examples as you explain your rationale.
The anatomical concepts associated with biology, chemistry, and homeostasis.
Explain the anatomical concepts associated with biology, chemistry, and homeostasis. Summarize this module’s key points in 5-6 sentences.
Explain the physiological concepts associated with biology, chemistry, and homeostasis. Summarize this module’s key points in 5-6 sentences.
How will you apply the concepts you have learned about biology, chemistry, and homeostasis in real life and in your future career?
Which topic within this module has been the most valuable to your learning experience and why?
Which topic(s) within this module did you struggle to understand and why?
(Optional) Do you have any suggestions for your instructor on how they could help you connect with the difficult topics you’ve noted?
Human psychology and human behavior.
In everyday life, we are regularly exposed to various claims about human psychology and human behavior. Whereas some of these claims may be scientifically valid, many of them are not.
Choose a psychological claim about which you are skeptical. If you are having trouble thinking of one, think about common areas of pseudoscience that you may have heard about: astrology, ESP, hypnosis, etc. to maybe get an idea.
Develop a research question that you have about the claim. Discuss how the scientific method could be used to test your research question as compared to one of the other methods mentioned in
• Your chosen psychological claim about which you are skeptical
• Your research question about your chosen claim
• An explanation of how the scientific method can be applied to test your hypothesis
• A comparison how the application of the scientific method to the hypothesis compares to one of the other methods mentioned in this module
e-bird Canada
STEPS
To complete Assignment 2, complete all five of the following steps:
Choose a conservation project
Research your project
Assess your project
Write your report
STEP 1) CHOOSE A PROJECT
Possible project include:
Biodiversity assessment projects such as e-bird Canada (https://ebird.org/canada/home)
Projects examined in detail in this course that are off limits for this assignment are:
the population recovery project of California Condors, USA
the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park, USA
Anti-poaching and community building actions at Virunga National Park, DRC
STEP 2) RESEARCH YOUR PROJECT
Create an outline* of questions to answer.
Begin to research your project by reading a variety of websites and journal articles.
Create a list of APA references and add to it as you go.
Answer your questions in point form, in your own words.
Be sure to include APA in-text citation(s) for each answer.
Modify your questions and create new questions to better fit your chosen project.
Answer those questions in point form, in your own words with APA in-text citations.
You could use the following structure to create your outline:
In Part 1, introduce the project. Questions that you could answer include:
What is the aim of your chosen project?
What actions are being taken?
Who is conducting the actions and where and when are they occurring?
What actions have previously been taken?
How does the project fit into other current overlapping projects or previous projects?
In Part 2, outline the scientific research guiding the project. Summarize the key scientific research that has been published on the targeted species, habitat, or ecosystem at the centre of this project. Questions you could answer include:
Who conducted the research, and where and when did it occur?
What are the key results of the research?
How were the results determined? What was measured or tested?
How did this research guide the conservation project?
In Part 3, assess the project. Questions that you should answer to assess your project include:
What challenges has the project faced? How have they dealt with those challenges?
What criticisms have been made about the project? Are they valid?
Do you think the project has been or will be successful? Explain your reasoning
What should be the next steps of the project? Explain your reasoning
STEP 3) WRITE AND EDIT YOUR REPORT
Based on the 4-part outline of questions and answers you have developed, write a 1000-word report that includes the following four sections (use subheadings):
