A company providing on-line teaching software claims that students who are on-line
students achieve better results on learning programming languages than on campus students. The company has developed a hypothesis based on this claim. The company chose one university to conduct research to test this hypothesis. It applied for research ethics clearance and at the same time included both on-line and on campus students to participate in this experiment.

At the end of semester, all students undertook the same paper on programming languages. The company used final scores of all students to test its hypothesis. The company has published a report in which it concludes “the average score of 67 for on-line students is higher than the average score of 65.5 for on campus students, and so we can conclude that on-line students achieve better results in learning programming languages than on campus students. Therefore, this teaching method should be used for all students in future.”

1. Proponents of globalization like neoliberalists argue their approach to economic development can best lift countries out of poverty. Advocates of alternative theories and approaches like Bejing’s approach to economic development purported by Dambisa Moyo OR sustainable development are critical of neoliberalism. Define ONE alternative approach to economic development and explain ONE way it improves upon neoliberalism. Here, choose Bejing’s approach to economic development purported by Dambisa Moyo in her TED talk, Is China the New Idol for Emerging Economies? (Module 5) OR sustainable development (Module 6). For example, why does Dambisa Moyo think that Bejing’s approach to development is more appealing to poor countries than that of the United States? OR, why do proponents of sustainable development argue it is a superior approach to sustainable and equitable development than neoliberalism? Use specific empirical evidence and examples to demonstrate why the alternative approach is better.

Answer the below questions using 200-250 words each;

DQ1: College stress
Determine your main stressors as a college student? Could you relate to any of the situations in the text? Explain which ones are most problematic for you and list some interventions that may assist you through this time in your life.

DQ2: Occupational stress

These don’t need to be answered in 1-2-3 order. Use the following questions as a guide for your answer. They are the springboard for discussion and the topics should be addressed in your answer. Be sure to support your opinions and suggestions. That is what academic discussion is all about!:

Do you have burnout or brownout? Is it due to your type of occupation or gender? Would you classify your personality as a ‘workaholic”? Looking at the Occupational Stress Model, identify your source(s) of stress, your individual characteristics and any symptoms you may suffer. If you suffer from burnout/brownout, please explain how you will improve your work situation to make it less stressful.

If you are not currently experiencing either burnout or brownout, what strategies can you put in place now to prevent this in the future? If you are not yet in your career, research the probability that your future career may be a stressful one and report your findings. Be sure to cite your source.

The purpose of the financial management is to maximize shareholders wealth. What is the meaning of shareholders wealth maximization? If a company attempts to maximize its shareholders wealth, is this good or bad for society? Explain by providing some examples. Do you think maximizing shareholders’ wealth also applies in Saudi Arabia?

Search the SEU library or the Internet for an academic or industry-related article. Select an article that relates to these concepts and explain how it relates to doing business in Saudi Arabia.

For your discussion post, your first step is to summarize the article in two paragraphs, describing what you think are the most important points made by the authors (remember to use citations where appropriate). For the second step, include the reference listing with a hyperlink to the article. Do not copy the article into your post and limit your summary to two paragraphs. Let your instructor know if you have any questions and enjoy your search.

You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.

Directions Use the Crosstabs option in the Descriptives menu to answer the questions based on the following scenario. (Be sure to select Chi-square from the Statistics submenu and Observed, Expected, Row, and Column in the Cells submenu. Assume a level of significance of .05).

Scenario

The school district recently adopted the use of e-textbooks, and the superintendent is interested in determining the level of satisfaction with e-textbooks among students and if there is a relationship between the level of satisfaction and student classification. The superintendent selected a sample of students from one high school and asked them how satisfied they were with the use of e-textbooks. The data that were collected are presented in the following table

Satisfied

Yes: Freshman (23) Sophmore (21) Junior (15) Senior (8)

No: Freshman (8) Sophmore (4) Junior (15) Senior (24)

Questions:

1. Of the students that were satisfied, what percent were Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior? (Round your final answer to 1 decimal place).

2. State an appropriate null hypothesis for this analysis.

3. What is the value of the chi-square statistic?

4. What are the reported degrees of freedom?

5. What is the reported level of significance?

6. Based on the results of the chi-square test of independence, is there an association between e-textbook satisfaction and academic classification?

7. Present the results as they might appear in an article. This must include a table and narrative statement that reports and interprets the results of the analysis.
