Scenario

Frank has only had a brief introduction to statistics when he was in high school 12 years ago, and that did not cover inferential statistics. He is not confident in his ability to answer some of the problems posed in the course.

As Frank’s tutor, you need to provide Frank with guidance and instruction on a worksheet he has partially filled out. Your job is to help him understand and comprehend the material. You should not simply be providing him with an answer as this will not help when it comes time to take the test. Instead, you will be providing a step-by-step breakdown of the problems including an explanation on why you did each step and using proper terminology.

What to Submit

To complete this assignment, you must first download the word document

, and then complete it by including the following items on the worksheet:

1. Incorrect Answers

• Correct any wrong answers. You must also explain the error performed in the problem in your own words.
• Partially Finished Work
  • Complete any partially completed work. Make sure to provide step-by-step instructions including explanations.
• Blank Questions

  Brainstorm ways to engage employees in a Virtual Training Course.

1. Think about how you would plan your lesson and what activities you include in a live classroom so it’s not just lecture.  Some ideas are:

· Breakouts:  small groups work on something together for a little while and then come back to the larger class and each group gives a report.  

· Discussion board or forum activity:  you post a question and everyone has to respond

2. Then, when you have an activity, describe how we can do it in Microsoft Teams.  So for breakouts, it might look like this:

· Breakouts

o Set up multiple channels and assign students to a specific group where they complete the assignment

o Set up multiple document tabs and assign students to a specific tab to work together on the assignment

3. Make A list of everything we can do within a virtual class room

4. What are some activities will be engaging for learners?

5. Ways we can deliver engaging virtual learning

6. Finding ways to engage our staff ( be innovated )

7. Start with a list of innovated ways to make virtual training engaging’

• Case 10-2: Constructive Discharge and Reinstatement of Strikers.

Then complete the following: 

• Add your opinion about the choices and decisions being made—if this was your company, would you make this choice? 
• What would you do differently?   

You are strongly encouraged to make your initial post by the middle of each week so that you have plenty of time to respond to your classmates. 

Assignment Content

1. Your team is consulting with a local manufacturing company that has 1,200 employees and is the third largest employer in the area. When averaging all of the manufacturing employees’ salary divided by the market midpoint, the organization has a 0.90 compa ratio, meaning that on average employees earn 90% of the market rate.

   Your firm has been asked to propose three approaches for management to consider:

   • increasing base pay
   • adding a team incentive plan such as profit sharing or individual incentive plan based on individual performance
   • a combination of base and incentive pay
   • Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Prezi, or Microsoft® Sway® presentation in which you:
   • Propose a plan for each of the three approaches.
   • Make a final recommendation.
   • Support your points with at least one source.
   • Include graphics and speaker notes on each slide that script what would be said if this information were to be presented in person.

High Performing Work Team Analysis

This assignment is worth 20% of your final grade. It gives you an opportunity to analyze a tool used to assess the performance of a team. You must complete this assignment individually, without contacting other students, and you may not use a paper or any part of a paper from a previous class or from another person or an online source. If you have any questions about this assignment, please post them in the Ask the Professor discussion forum so that everyone can benefit from the answers. The assignment addresses Course Objectives 3, 4 and 5. 

Organizations often use surveys or questionnaires to obtain information regarding employee satisfaction, organizational issues impacting staff performance, and perceptions of pay and benefits, organizational culture, etc. Sometimes, questionnaires are used in classes for staff development and focus on behavioral styles, conflict styles, or team behaviors. Additionally, surveys may be used to help intact teams or departments focus on and resolve team differences or performance issues.  Many times, the questions themselves provide people with insight into what the organization expects from its employees.

The Scenario

You are the leader of a cross-functional team that has not been performing well. You are not sure what’s causing the problems, but you know that the team cannot continue this way. You have contacted the Human Resources (HR) department for help and they suggested using the High Performing Work Teams Survey as a tool to diagnose problems within the team. Every team member will complete the survey anonymously. The HR department will analyze the results and will work with you to develop a plan to address issues. 

Your Task

Read the questions in the High Performing Work Teams Survey. The survey follows these instructions. You will analyze the questions, identify trends you see in the questions, and discuss what you and the members of your team could learn by taking this survey. 

Write 4-7 pages (not counting the cover or reference pages), summarizing the trends you identified, describing what you and your team members could learn from taking the survey, and discussing your conclusions about what is required of team members in order to create a high performing work team.  Support your opinions and statements with a minimum of five references from sources published within the last ten years. 

You can cite scholarly and practitioner-oriented journals, newspaper articles, YouTube videos, (but not Wikipedia, vendor websites, or other non-academic sources.)  Please use the UMUC library to search for appropriate sources rather than Google or other search engines. Librarians are available by phone, email, and chat; they are excellent at their jobs and they love to help students. See the Library link in the Resources section (on the ribbon at the top of our classroom) or go directly to https://sites.umuc.edu/library/index.cfm for more information and to begin searching for sources.  You can also consult a graduate writing tutor for help with organizing your ideas, presenting them clearly, and complying with APA style requirements.. You can access tutors through the Writing Tutoring module in our classroom. 

Use APA format for citations, references, and quotations.  This means your list of references should start on a separate page, and should be double spaced, with a hanging indent and no spaces between entries.  Your analysis should be 4-7 pages (not counting the cover or reference pages), double spaced with one inch margins and a font size of at least 11 points. Criteria for Grading High Performing Work Team Analysis are attached to this document (they follow the High Performing Work Teams Survey). The criteria give details on how your analysis will be graded. Keep in mind that most organizations value efficient communication; busy managers don’t have time – and most don’t have the desire – to read long reports. Keep your writing clear and concise.
