Need an academic response to this post of a student

I know that the opportunity cost for getting my degree will pay off. the reason behind this is I see many companies I want to work for are wanting bachelor's degrees. I do think it is smart to make sure you can obtain work experience in the field before you get your degree to make it an easier transition. I also think people need to analyze what the degree is in and is there a future for it. Also looking at is it a good idea to pick a degree in the area I live in. Certain degrees are not as in demand as other jobs in certain areas. Many people also get into a lot of debt for careers that will not pay well. so they struggle to stay afloat with that debt on their head. I think it is important to look at your situation I look at how I have a husband who works and as do I. This helps me be able to survive and still go to school.

Define the opportunity cost of getting your degree by analyzing what steps and economic factors a potential student must make when choosing to pursue an education. Given your answer, is getting a formal college education worth your opportunity costs? Why?

The cost of getting your degree includes tuition, fees, transportation, housing, course materials, economic factors, etc. A potential student must first take into consideration how much everything will cost all together because receiving a formal education isn’t cheap at all. Steps they can take into choosing if a formal education is worth the cost is knowing what they will do with their degree once they have it. Setting a versatile career goal that they fully plan on sticking to. This will ensure all the hard work and money that went into this education will be put to good use. A student must also take personal living costs into consideration. How much will they spend on food, gas, rent, clothes, etc. I think getting a formal college education is worth the opportunity costs because you could come out very successful in the end. It’s a big risk worth taking.

Thank you

You attend an academic lecture on campus and the presenter is trying to analyze support for President Trump’s impeachment. They are using the results from a survey that asks respondents “on a scale from 1 – 10, how much do you support President Trump’s impeachment? 1 means that you would strongly disapprove of impeachment, and 10 means that you strongly support impeachment.” Because you are a budding economist, you care about revealed preferences and are inherently skeptical of the setup of this study. In order to capture revealed preference, suggest another statistic this researcher could use to analyze support for President Trump’s impeachment, why?

Seeing this as an academic community, I hope this question is on-topic. Academia is still a long way from beta :(

I have a few questions about reading journal papers in the field of engineering/applied physics.

How do you keep and schedule a reading list?
From the more recent papers, how do you track down the one (or few) papers that started an idea or technology?
Then conversely, how do you move forward in time to trace how that technology evolved? How do you decide which is the next paper to read?
(I think being able to do the tasks of 2 and 3 could help me formulate my own research questions in the future)
How do you retain the gist of the information you read from an article?
How do you do the dirty work of the above? What software do you use, if at all? If you write it down in a notebook, what are the essential data points? Like the date you read the paper, publication date, title, author, then writing down (or illustrating) what you see with your mind's eye the information that the article presented, and... anything else?
I envision a notebook with the ideas I learned, then posing my own questions after reading each article. How do you do it?

You may (or may not) answer those questions one-by-one, but they're there to give you an idea of what I want to find out. Offers to make this community wiki are very welcome.

The academic, inventory, and financial information at the CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) department of a certain institute was being carried out manually by two office clerks, a store keeper, and two attendants. The department has a student strength of 500 and a teacher strength of 30. The head of the department (HoD) wants to automate the office work. Considering the low budget that he has at his disposal, he entrusted the work to a team of student volunteers. For requirements gathering, a member of the team who was responsible for requirements analysis and specification (analyst) was first briefed by the HoD about the specific activities to be automated. The HoD mentioned that three main aspects of the office work needs to be automated—stores-related activities, student grading activities, and student leave management activities. It was necessary for the analyst to meet the other categories of users. The HoD introduced the analyst (a student) to the office staff. The analyst first discussed with the two clerks regarding their specific responsibilities (tasks) that were required to be automated. For each task, they asked the clerks to brief them about the steps through which these are carried out. The analyst also enquired about the various scenarios that might arise for each task. The analyst collected all types of forms that were being used by the student and the staff of the department to register various types of information with the office (e.g. student course registration, course grading) or requests for some specific service (e.g. issue of items from store). He also collected samples of various types of documents (outputs) the clerks were preparing. Some of these had specific printed forms that the clerks filled up manually, and others were entered using a spreadsheet, and then printed out on a laser printer. Fo r each output form, the analyst consulted the clerks regarding how these different entries are generated from the input data. The analyst met the store keeper and enquired about the material issue procedures, store ledger entry procedures, and the procedures for raising indents on various vendors. He also collected copies of all the relevant forms that were being used by the store keeper. The analyst also interviewed the student and faculty representatives. Since it was needed to automate the existing activities of an working office, the analyst could without much difficulty obtain the exact formats of the input data, output data, and the precise description of the existing office procedures.

1. Draw use case and class diagram.

2. Write 5 functional and non-functional requirements.

Do an internet search for non-traditional public health organizations doing population health-related work. List no fewer than five organizations and a short description of their population-health related work/project. Your list must not contain any governmental, academic, or hospital/health care organizations.

Bebbington and Unerman (2018) propose that professional and academic (research focused) accounting can advance the pursuit of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Discuss this argument.

You may like to draw on the meaning of sustainable development and social accounting; knowledge/comparisons with traditional forms of accounting; and use examples.
