Professional Development Event Review

Carrier- information Technology (IT)

Part of developing as a professional in any career path is attending events that can further your knowledge of a field. This can be in the form of seminars, webinars, conferences, workshops, and sometimes online training if you are learning a new technical skill. The completion of this assignment requires two parts, which should take up 3-4 pages.

Part 1: Attend 3 (or more) events related to the computing profession and reflect on them. These could be workshops, seminars, training, information sessions, conferences, panels, etc. The Career Fair does not count as a professional development event. Describe what you learned in the event and how it can help you in the future of your career. Also, critique the event and explain how it could have been made better and/or what you particularly liked about it. If you are already working with a company that offers professional development, that will be a great resource to pull from!

Part 2: Imagine that you are an employer in charge of creating a seminar to train or help develop new professionals in your company. Explain your seminar. Some questions to consider answering: What would it be about? Who would it be for? How would you go about presenting it? What do you hope your new employees will gain from the seminar? How will you know they got something from the event?

The following explanation and table summarizes the results of a two-factor ANOVA evaluating an independent-measures experiment.
-Depressed people are given two different types of treatments: Exercise, and Psychological Therapy.
-Factor A is exercise, and there are 3 levels: intense exercise, moderate exercise, or no exercise.
-Factor B is therapy, and there are 2 levels: Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Treatment as Usual.
-There are n = 8 participants in each treatment condition. Use the lecture notes as your guide for this problem.
A: State the three different hypotheses for this test

B: What are the critical values for the main effect of factor A? Factor B? Interaction effect?

C: If alpha is .05, is there a significant effect for factor A, factor B, and/or the interaction of A and B?

D: If the p value associated with the finding for Factor A was .02, what would this mean about the relationship with the null distribution?

E: Fill in this table

1.(a) What is a chain reaction?

(b) Why is monobromination of ethane a more practical reaction than the monobromination of propane?

(c) Write the mechanism involved in the chain reaction of monbromination of propane. State the experimental conditions, major and minor products.

Name each of the steps. Explain your answer.

(d) Draw the bond-line formula of 3,4-dimethylhexane.
Is geometric isomerism observed in 3,4-dimethylhexane?
What structural features must be present for stereoisomers to exist?

You are an assistant Human Resource Manager at Company X. You have had this job for two years, and you love it. You have a great opportunity to become the manager within the year as your immediate boss is nearing retirement. One day, the president of the company comes by your desk to ask you for “a favour”. He has just hired a “rock star” CEO and wants you to enroll her in the company benefits program right away and waive the required 6 months probationary period. He really wants to make a good impression with her and roll out the red carpet. The policy is that all employees must wait 6 months before enrolling in any company benefits program. You are well aware of the policy because when you were first hired, you needed new glasses and had to wait 6 months for coverage even though you had asked for a waiver. What do you do? Explain your decision using the four ethical decision-making criteria discussed in class and in your textbook.

Following is financial information describing the six operating segments that make up Fairfield, Inc. (in thousands):

Consider the following questions independently. None of the six segments has a primarily financial nature.

a. What minimum revenue amount must any one segment generate to be of significant size to require disaggregated disclosure? (Enter your answer in dollars but not in thousands.)

..................................

b. If only Red, Blue, and Green necessitate separate disclosure, is Fairfield disclosing disaggregated data for enough segments?

• Yes

• No

• ...............................

• [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Suppose the average time to complete a marathon is believed to be 264 minutes. If a random sample of 67 marathon runners posted an average time of 248 minutes, with a standard deviation of 46.6 minutes, is there evidence to support the claim that the average time is lower than originally thought? Perform a hypothesis test with significance level 0.01.

A. State the null hypothesis in symbols and in a complete sentence.

B. State the alternative hypothesis in symbols and in a complete sentence.

C. Calculate the test statistic.

D. Calculate the p-value.

E. State your conclusion in context of the research question.

F. If you changed the significance level to 0.05, would that change your conclusion? Explain!

For each question please state your null and alternative hypothesis, your p-value and conclusion of your hypothesis test. You may use your calculator to perform the hypothesis.

1. Research conducted a few years ago showed that 35% of UCLA students had travelled outside the US. UCLA has recently implemented a new study abroad program and results of a new survey show that out of the 100 randomly sampled students 40 have travelled abroad. Is there significant evidence to suggest that the proportion of students at UCLA who have travelled abroad has increased after the implementation of the study abroad program? Use a .01 significance level.

   2. Sleep experts believe that sleep apnea is more likely to occur in men than in the general population. In other words, they claim the percentage of men who suffer from sleep apnea is greater than 5.8%. To test this claim, one sleep expert examines a simple random sample of 90 men and determines 9 of these men suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim that the percentage of men who suffer from sleep apnea not longer equals 5.8%? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Find a grocery product that is being featured as being new and answer the following questions. Please number from 1 to 10 at the beginning of each of your answers. For example, 1. The product’s name is Mr. Ted’s brand Soda Crackers.  Those not numbered will not be counted.

Note: To aid in finding a new product: Look for displays, shelf signage, the word NEW on the package, or recall a recent advertisement about the new product. Do NOT submit a product that has been on the market for a significant time period and widely adopted – as it will not be graded. (Brand extensions are fine.)

Once you've selected a new product, answer the following questions. Please write in paragraph form and use the question in the topic sentence of each paragraph.

1. What is the complete product name and who is the manufacturer?
2. Using marketing terminology, what type of consumer product is it? (See the information in this week's Commentary & Readings. Do not say it is a cookie, cracker, etc.)
3. Describe how this product fits into its manufacturer’s product mix. (Check out the section in the text on this.)
4. Describe its logo and/or trademark.
5. Who do you think is the target market? How can you tell?
6. Is it co-branded? Is it a brand extension of an existing product?
7. What other products is it competing with?
8. How is it priced in relation to its competitor products?
9. How is it promoted? (Examine the package and shelf display. Have you seen any advertisements or public relations?)
10. Do you believe it will be a success or a failure? Why?

A BOTNET is a collection or a network of infectious ‘bots’ i.e. machines. Botnets have become a platform for the infection to the Internet. In this context, elucidate in detail about the Botnet life cycle Diagram and identify the role played by command and control server in the Botnet life cycle. Do any techniques exist to detect Botnets? If yes, exemplify.
