Res Wknd – Practical Connection: Career Plotting

Background: Read the article at the link below by Nicole Fallon “Destination Dream Job”. Pay close attention to the roadmap outlined in the article about career progression. Fallon outlines 4 steps that one needs to take to reach their career goal (see link below). Career experts have also shared their advice for mapping out a path to one’s ultimate dream job. Those steps include: (1) Know where you want to go, (2) Focus on the tools you need, (3) Find a guide, and (4) Be open to changing your route.www.businessnewsdaily.com/6432-create-career-roadmap.htmlYour assignment : Plot your career direction based on each step in this roadmap.  For step #1 you should look at where you are now (what industry, job, position, etc.).  Also answer where you want to go (industry, job, position, salary, etc.) from here. For step #2, I would like you to go online and explore various job announcements and position descriptions to see what you need (what experience, degree, certification, interest, passion, etc.). In this context, I also would like you to state how pursuing this degree, and this course specifically, is a tool for the career direction in which you are going. Then for step #3, do you know anyone who might be a mentor; are you pursuing opportunities to network with like-mined professionals, etc. Finally, for step #4, is there some short-term deviation from your goal that you would accept – what is it?It should take just a short paragraph that address each of the four steps mentioned above.  The background and online research for this assignment can be done collectively in your group. However, the findings must be specific for you individually and so your post must be individual. As I have always mentioned, do not cut and paste information from other sources – I want  your  view and in  your  words.    As your reader, I want to be able to follow whatever sources you use, so support your views (and findings) with  at least two in-text citations . This means you will also need a reference list. For this assignment (only), a url  reference is acceptable (not usually acceptable for APA).   This is an  individual assignment  which must be accomplished by you alone. Please post your paper to iLearn  NLT 6/11 – 8pm EST.When you are ready to post, click the Res Wknd Practical Connection assignment link, then Either click the “Write Submission” link and directly paste your document into this assignment box OR Browse your Computer and add the entire Microsoft Word document as an attachment (Mac users, please remember to append the “.docx” extension to the filename).

Net Present Value Analysis

 (KB) Net Present Value Analysis

In this assignment you will perform a Net Present Value Analysis for a project.

 1. Assume a student is planning to pursue a two-year master’s degree. There are two educational options the student is considering, with investment and cash flows as follows. 

Option A: Full-Time Education Example cash investment: $100,000. Currently the student is earning $30,000. The  student will quit his/her current job to study a Master’s degree in computer science.  Upon graduation the student hopes to earn $60,000 per year in new job. 

Option B: Part-Time Education Example cash investment: $100,000. Currently the student is earning $30,000. The  student can work part-time for three years at a salary of $20,000 while studying towards  the master’s degree in project management. Upon graduation the student anticipates a possible increase in salary by $10,000 (total $40,000) in the same company. 

The requirements for the assignment are:

 • Answer the following questions based on the unit readings: 

1. Briefly describe what net present value is, how it is calculated, and what it is used for.

 2. Calculate the NPV for each educational option. The discount rate is 8%. 

3. Which option should the student choose? Explain your decision including  any necessary assumptions made. 

• The paper must be APA-formatted as a Word document. 

• SafAssign will be used to check this assignment for plagiarism. Remember to  paraphrase in your own words and do not copy directly. 

• The length must be 1-2 pages, excluding the title and reference pages. 

• Include at least one reference.

Explain how computers are networked. Describe common network topologies.

Submit a one and a half to two page paper in APA format. Consult at least three references.

Data Structures HW

I need hw 3 to be done ASAP. Looking for someone who can finish it in less than 2 hours. EST. The assignment is on zybooks I will give you my log in information.

Homework

  

1)What is an artificial neural network and for what types of problems can it be used?

2)Compare artificial and biological neural networks. What aspects of biological networks are not mimicked by artificial ones? What aspects are similar?

3)What are the most common ANN architectures? For what types of problems can they be used? 

4)ANN can be used for both supervised and unsupervised learning. Explain how they learn in a supervised mode and in an unsupervised mode.

5) Go to Google Scholar (scholar.google.com). Conduct a search to find two papers written in the last five years that compare and contrast multiple machine-learning methods for a given problem domain. Observe commonalities and differences among their findings and prepare a report to summarize your understanding.

6) Go to neuroshell.com. 

Comment on the feasibility of achieving the results claimed by the developers of this neural network model.

When submitting work, be sure to include an APA cover page and include at least two APA formatted references (and APA in-text citations) to support the work this week.
All work must be original (not copied from any source).

These 6 Questions I need in 2 Pages ( THats excluding first cover page and reference page)
