What factors contributed to the development of the Harlem Renaissance?

As production supervisor of Sweeny Electronics, Jana was generally well regarded by her subordinates. She was certainly an easy-going person who tried to help her employees in any way she could. For instance, if a worker needed a small loan until payday, she would dig into her own pocket, no questions asked. Should an employee need some time off to attend a personal problem, Jana would not decrease the employee's pay; rather, she would take up the slack herself until the worker returned.

Everything was going smoothly, at least until the last performance appraisal period. Recently, however, one of Jana's workers, Bill, started experiencing a large number of personal issues. His wife was sick and her medical expenses were running high. His son developed a speech impediment and the doctors recommended a special clinic to address it. Bill, having already borrowed the maximum his bank allowed, was now upset and despairing. His solution so far was to accept a side job as part-time courier delivery driver to supplement his income. However, as he explained to Jana, this job meant he would now be often late for his morning shift at Sweeny Electronics.

Jana decided to do as much as possible to help Bill. Although his performance was no more than average, Jana rated him outstanding in every category. Such rating meant that, since the company's compensation system was heavily tied to performance assessments, Bill would now be eligible for a merit increase of 10 percent in addition to the default cost-of-living increase.

During the performance appraisal interview, Jana explained Bill why she was giving him such high rating. Bill acknowledged that his performance was really no better than average. He was very grateful and expressed that his gratitude to Jana. As he left Jana's office, he was excitedly looking forward to telling his work buddies what a wonderful person his boss was. Seeing Bill smile as he left gave Jana a warm feeling.

Q1: From Sweeny Electronics perspective, what difficulties have Jana's appraisal of Bill's performance created ?

Q2: Remember the 'let them know where they stand' framework; how could this framework have guided Bill's performance interview ?

Q3: What performance appraisal methods exist to prevent the problems identified in Q1 from arising ?

Develop a program that prints out the sum of each column of a two-dimensional array. The program defines method sumColumn() takes a two-dimensional array of integers and returns a single-dimensional array that stores the sum of columns of the passed array. The program main method prompts the user to enter a 3-by-4 array, prints out the array, and then calls method sumColumns(). Finally, it prints out the array retuned by method sumColumns(). Document your code, and organize and space the outputs properly as shown below. C++ students: instead of asking the user for input, you must read it from a file. See appendix for more information.

Why do many people believe that the world is a more violent, chaotic, and dangerous place than it is? Use and define at least two concepts from the readings in your answer.

The following jobs are waiting to be processed at the same machine center. Jobs are logged as they​ arrive:    

All dates are specified as manufacturing planning calendar days. Assume that all jobs arrive on day 275.

Assume each job starts at the beginning of the day and finishes at the end of the day​ (a job that begins on day 275 and takes 8 days will finish on day​ 282, and the next job begins in the morning of day​ 283). Compute all times based on initiating work on day 275.

​a) Using the FCFS​ (first come, first served​ ) decision rule for sequencing the​ jobs, the order is​ (assume that jobs came in the order in which they are listed in the​ table): ___A-B-C-D-E___

*The average tardiness​ (job lateness) for the sequence developed using the FCFS rule​ = ______ days ​(round your response to two decimal​ places).

*Calculate the percentage utilization for the sequence developed using the FCFS rule = _______ % (round your response to two decimal​ places).

​b) Using the EDD​ (earliest due​ date) decision rule for sequencing the​ jobs, to determine the order of the jobs​ (to resolve a​ tie, use the order in which the jobs were​ received).
