[Solved] Test Taker 100 Extra

[Solved] Test Taker 100 Extra

 Test-preparation organizations like Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc. often advertise their services by claiming that students gain an average of 100 or more points on the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT). Do you think that taking one of those classes would give a test taker 100 extra points? Why might an average of 100 points be a biased estimate?

[Solved] Constructco Database Design Project

[Solved] Constructco Database Design Project

 You will analyze user needs to facilitate the development of a database using SQL server to track the software and hardware assigned to the employees of a given organization. The purpose of this database project is to facilitate the development of data models that can be translated into relational databases.

Organizations are legally required to track software and ensure that only legally procured software licenses are deployed. As a database architect, your task is to develop a database to track software and hardware for the ConstructCo Company. ConstructCo is a small construction company that employs 50 employees and owns over 80 desktop computers, laptops, and servers. You will be using the SQL Server environment provided during this course. This database will ultimately be used as a basis for a software license management tool to assist the company in tracking how the licenses and workstations/PCs are deployed throughout the organization

You must use the ConstructCo Database Design Project template Download ConstructCo Database Design Project templatein the creation of your assignment. For each section of the template, include the content required as listed below.

Document History
The information in this section will be pre-populated in the template. The only required content will be your name in the “Revised By” column.

Executive Summary
Summarize the project parameters including a short description of each of the following sections: Conceptual Design, normalization phase, physical design, Data retrieval and connecting to online databases. 

Conceptual design (ERD creation)
Ensure that the following requirements are met.

  • Identify all entities and attributes
  • Identify all primary keys
  • Define all relationships between entities

Normalization
Once the ERD is completed for your ConstructCO database project, you will create the Logical Data Model and check the model against 3rd Normal Form (3NF). For this phase of the project review your existing ERD feedback from your Week Three assignment where you converted your ERD into a Logical Data Model in 3NF. Using information from your Week Three assignment feedback revise your Logical Data Model. Describe the three normal forms and justify how each of your tables meets 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Normal Form utilizing a minimum of three professional sources to support your statements.

Physical Design
In Week Four, you created your database in the SQL server you were provided within your lab environment and translated this design into SQL server tables with appropriate fields. Select the appropriate data type for every field. The specific data type you select will depend on the size and range of the values that will be stored in the field.

Specify all primary keys as “identity” fields, and not as auto-increment.

After creating the tables, use the “insert” command to populate the tables with sample data for all the tables. (This will be affirmed in your SQL server in the lab environment.)

Data Retrieval
Provide select statements to satisfy the following data requests.

  • List all available laptops assigned laptops to managers.
  • List all available named licenses.
  • List the workstations that are over three years old (from the date of purchase) and assigned to leads.
  • List the name of the leads, workstation IDs, and location.
  • List the names of all the leads in the operations department.
  • List all the workstations with an amount of disk space less that the average disk space available in all workstations.
  • List the names of all managers with employees who have not been assigned a workstation.

Include screen shots of the SQL statements used to perform each step as well as the result sets resulting from the execution of the SQL statements. Describe what you did to complete each step.

Connect Online Databases with Front-End Interfaces
In order to connect the database with the front-end interface you will modify the Java code provided on the Connection URL SampleLinks to an external site. website to retrieve the list of all workstations assigned to managers. The output must include the first name, last name, and department of the managers as well as the workstation ID and date of purchase.

Modify the Java Code to insert new workstation record in the workstations table if provided with the WorkstationID, type, location, purchase date, memory, disk space and CPU speed.
Include the modified code by copying and pasting the code as plain text at the bottom of this section.

[Solved] Formulating Ethics Policies ”

[Solved] Formulating Ethics Policies ”

 

After I graduate, I would like to become a Human Resources Manager. The Human Resource Management (HRM) field defines ethics, “as rules of conduct or moral principles that guide individual or group behavior. The focus in business ethics is on awareness of organizational values, guidelines and codes, and behaving within those boundaries when faced with dilemmas in business or professional work. HR professionals are in a strategic position to ensure that their organizations maintain cultures that demand ethical behavior. Many serve as the primary ethics resource in their organizations and are involved in formulating ethics policies” (SHRM, 2023).

This definition of ethics relates to Fiddler and Marienau’s Events model. To be a successful Human Resources Manager, an individual must be able to learn from the different challenges they will face. The stages of the Events Model are the elements that I believe prompt more ethical decisions. Ethics in HRM requires people to follow rules and respect boundaries in a professional setting. These stages will not only help encourage these behaviors, but they will also promote new learning through the process of reflection. These stages of the Events Model are event, feedback, attention, experience, reflection, and new learning.

[Solved] Summative Assessment Next Week

[Solved] Summative Assessment Next Week

 

  • Summative Test Blueprint (*This assignment must be approved by your professor before you can submit your summative assessment next week, so be sure to plan accordingly.) Now that you have practiced writing questions at various levels of rigor, create a blueprint (table) of how you will construct your summative test for your unit. Refer back to your reading from Week 1. You must have three levels of rigor. How many questions will you have at each level for your standard? This should be a good representation of each level. Level 1 questions should NOT be the majority of your test – keep the total under 1/3 of the total questions. Remember, you are not yet creating your questions. You are developing a plan as to how many questions you will have at each depth of knowledge. Your test should contain a minimum of 25 questions and should focus on higher-level questions. There is a blueprint example in your text. See Appendix B for rubric. (40 pts.)
