Managers and employees have long expressed dislike and skepticism about performance appraisal, as it is typically practiced in organizations. Some HR practitioners and consultants, such as Samuel Culbert, have advocated getting rid of the standard performance appraisal programs. Culbert has suggested that the arguments typically given for performance appraisal are invalid and, in a word, “bogus.”  

a. Describe two arguments or reasons that are typically given in support of formal performance appraisals.

b. Then explain why Culbert and others who are skeptical of performance appraisal believe these arguments are weak or bogus.

c. Explain your perspective on whether performance appraisals are necessary, and why or why not. If you believe they are not necessary, explain what procedures, if any, you would recommend to fulfill the functions that performance appraisals are said to fulfill.

A teacher gives the following assignment to 200 students: Check the local newspaper every morning for a week and count how many times the word “gun” is mentioned on the “local news” pages. At the end of the week, the students report their totals. The mean result is 85, with a standard deviation of 8. The distribution of scores is normal. a. How many students would be expected to count fewer than 70 cases? b. How many students would be expected to count between 80 and 90 cases? c. Karen is a notoriously lazy student. She reports a total of 110 cases at the end of the week. The professor tells her that he is convinced she has not done the assignment, but has simply made up the number. Are his suspicions justified?

If A is a 32-bit address, typically an instruction sequence such as: lui x19, A_upper addi x19, x19, A_lower can be used to load the word at A into a register (in this case x19).

a) How many bits of A are in A_upper?

b) If the MSB of A_upper is 1, what would be the value of the leftmost 32-bits of register x19. Provide your answer in decimal.

c) After the lui instruction, the rightmost 12-bits of x19 would be filled with all 1’s. True or False?

d) If the bit 11 (12th bit) of A is 1, how should A_upper be changed? Choose (X) one of the following (A_upper = A_upper + 1) / (A_upper = A_upper - 1) /(None)

e) What other instruction can be used instead of addi?

For this IP, you will create a very simple drawing app using Android Studio. The purpose of this assignment is to give you more building blocks to use when programming apps. For full credit for this assignment, you should complete the following: Create a menu and display menu items on the app bar Detect when the user touches the screen and moves a finger Be able to change the color and width of a line Be able to save an image To turn in this assignment, upload screenshots of the working app (from the emulator) as a Word document. The screenshots need to show that the app works and that all of the parts listed work. At a minimum, students should upload 2 screenshots showing: A drawing Menu showing the different color choices and line widths.

• What you had most hoped to learn about marketing when you had registered
• Two of the most important marketing strategies that you learned this term, and why
• Examples from commerce (not from the textbook) that illustrate these two important topics (you can include screen shots to help explain these concepts if you would like).
• Thoughts on the term project
• What one topic introduced to you in this course that you wish you could have spent more time on, and why

For each of the above, you should give specific evidence/examples. Don’t make general and vague statements for which you offer no support.

Your MAX word count = 1,200. (Be concise: I will stop reading at the 1,200 marks).

#4: Write a recursive function ‘bool palindrome(string s)’ that returns true if s is a palindrome and false if not.


#5: Write a recursive function 'void reverse(string &word)' that reverses the given input string.

string name = "damian";
reverse(name);
cout << name << endl;  //should display "naimad".

#6: Write a function 'string binary(int n)' that returns a string of 1's and 0's which is the binary representation of n.

cout << binary(43) << endl; // 101011

#7: Write a function 'int numTwos(int n)' which returns the number of 2's in the base-4 expansion of n.

cout << numTwos(2170) << endl; // 3

Virtualization technology has dramatically changed the landscape of how servers are designed, secured, and administered. The hypervisor market has become commoditized due to core feature overlap among most hypervisor vendors. While there are many hypervisor options in the market today–the Big 3 are VMware (ESXi), Microsoft (Hyper-V), and Citrix (XenServer). On the basis of your understanding of Virtualization technology , create a report in a Microsoft Word document addressing the following: Compare and contrast the Big 3 hypervisor options available in the market on the basis of factors such as:

Features Licensing costs Security Support Make a recommendation to Zeus Books on which hypervisor they should use to create a high availability web server environment.

Activity #1 - Defining a Brand Image

You may prepare this activity in the following formats: Word Document, PDF, or PowerPoint.

Phase one:

Research one of your favourite brands. Define their Why-How-What. (Note: Do your research! For example, read the brand's website for their mission statement)

Phase two:

Search for 6 images that visually define the brand. Be sure to match the look and feel with your value proposition. (Note: Do not select and use images that represent their logo and products)

Phase Three:

Choose a digital channel that would be appropriate for the brand to use for marketing and provide justification on why that channel would be appropriate for communicating their value proposition. Then provide a suggestion of what type of content they could create for that channel.
