n a recent opinion piece, David Brooks said that schools tend to "treat students like heads on sticks." His point was that schools look too narrowly at educating students. Do you agree that areas of education have been neglected, and if so, which areas. If you don't agree (or if you do agree), what strengths do you see in the current educational system.

Final Scenario
You're a recent graduate of Champlain College and landed a great job in New York as a junior financial analyst for Chuck Schwable, a leading investment firm whose name bears no resemblance to a well known investment firm. Schwable has recently been hired by Giggle, a leading tech giant, to provide some capital budgeting recommendations for a major building project in downtown Manhattan. This is it...it's your big chance to make a great first impression and show off the skills you gained in your MGMT 240 finance class.
The senior financial analyst in your office asks you to provide a general synopsis of three common capital budgeting techniques: payback analysis, discounted cash flows analysis, and throughput analysis. Your synopsis will be presented to a small group of very important Giggle stakeholders who know nothing about capital budgeting.
For your synopsis (use fictitious data, if applicable):

Programming in C (not C++)
The high level goal of this project is to write a program called "wordfreak" that takes "some files" as input, counts how many times each word occurs across them all (considering all letters to be lower case), and writes those words and associated counts to an output file in alphabetical order.
We provide you some example book text files to test your program on. For example, if you ran
$ ./wordfreak aladdin.txt
Then the contents of the output file would be:
$ cat output.txt
a : 49
aback : 1
able : 1
...
required : 1
respectfully : 1
retraced : 1
...
that : 11
the : 126
their : 2
...
you : 20
young : 1
your : 7
The words from all the input files will be counted together. If a word appears 3 times in one input file and 4 times in another, it will be counted 7 times between the two.
Input
wordfreak needs to be able to read input from 3 sources: standard input, files given in argv, and a file given as the environment variable. It should read words from all these that are applicable (always standard in, sometimes the other 2).
A working implementation must be able to accept input entered directly into the terminal, with the end of such input signified by the EOF character (^D (control+d)):
$ ./wordfreak
I can write words here,
and end the file with control plus d
$ cat output.txt
and : 1
can : 1
control : 1
d : 1
end : 1
file : 1
here : 1
i : 1
plus : 1
the : 1
with : 1
words : 1
write : 1
However, it should alternately be able to accept a file piped in to standard input via bash’s operator pipe:
$ cat aladdin.txt | ./wordfreak
It should be noted that your program has no real way to tell which of these two situations is occuring, it just sees information written to standard input. However, by just treating standard input like a file, you will get both of these behaviours.
A working implementation must also accept files as command line arguments:
$ ./wordfreak aladdin.txt iliad.txt odyssey.txt
Finally, a working implementation must also accept an environment variable called WORD_FREAK set to a single file from the command line to be analyzed:
$ WORD_FREAK=aladdin.txt ./wordfreak
And of course, it should be able to do all of these at once
$ cat newton.txt | WORD_FREAK=aladdin.txt ./wordfreak iliad.txt odyssey.txt
Words
Words should be comprised of only alpha characters, and all alpha characters should be taken to be lower case.
For example "POT4TO???" would give the words "pot" and "to". And the word "isn’t" would be read as "isn" and "t". While this isn't necessarily intuitively correct, this is what your code is expected to do:
$ echo "Isn’t that a POT4TO???" | ./wordfreak
$ cat output.txt
a : 1
isn : 1
pot : 1
t : 1
that : 1
to : 1
You are required to store the words in a specific data structure. You should have a binary search tree for each letter 'a' to 'z' that stores the words starting with that letter (and their counts). This can be thought of as a hash function from strings to binary search trees, where the hashing function is just first_letter - 'a'. Note that these BSTs will not likely be balanced; that is fine.
Output
The words should be written to the file alphabetically (the BSTs make this fairly trivial). Each word will give a line of the form "[word][additional space] : [additional space][number]\n". The caveat is that all the colons need to line up. The words are left-aligned and the longest will have a single space between its end and the colon (note "respectfully" in the example below); the numbers are right-aligned and the longest will have a single space between the colon and its beginning (note 126 in the example below).
$ ./wordfreak aladdin.txt
$ cat output.txt
a : 49
...
respectfully : 1
...
the : 126
...
your : 7
The output file should be named output.txt. Note that when opening the file to write to, you will either need to create the file or remove all existing contents, so make use of open()'s O_CREAT and O_TRUNC. Moreover, you will want the file’s permissions to be set so that it can be read. open()’s third argument determines permissions of created files, something like 0644 will make it readable.
restricted to only using the following system calls: open(), close(), read(), write(), and lseek() for performing I/O. You are allowed to use other C library calls (e.g., malloc(), free()). However, all I/O is restricted to the Linux kernel’s direct API support for I/O. You are also allowed to use sprintf() to make formatting easier.

Fox 5 network keeps a communication platform for its employees. It is a complex and dynamic process, but early models focused on a one-way transmission of messages from employees to Managers. The platform consists of an information source feed encoded a message and delivered it through a selected channel to a designated receiver. The Chief Information Officer emphasized relationships between source and receiver and suggested that the more highly developed the communication knowledge and skills of sources and receivers, the more effectively the message would be encoded and decoded. The Chief Operations Officer acknowledged the importance of the communication culture in which communication occurs, the attitudes of senders and receivers and strategic channel selection is often used in every day communication, sidelining division meetings. This allows formal communications planning and implementation to not be an issue.
10. Provide three examples in liabilities employees can face under this kind of communication platform of Fox 5.
11. In your opinion do you think, employees are happy about the platform specific and isolated setup of communication model.

Rose Hernandez's infant died shortly after delivery at the Happy
Birthing Center. Discovery will reveal the following facts:
The death of the infant is attributable to the negligence of Dr.
Jones, the physician who attended Ms. Hernandez at the Center
during delivery. The death was caused in part by the infant's
aspiration of meconium into the lungs. Although the Center is
equipped to suction meconium and other materials from a newborn's
throat, it is not equipped to perform the tracheotomy required to
suction meconium from the lungs. To receive a tracheotomy, the
infant would have to be transferred to the hospital. Even if the
infant had been transferred, it would probably have suffered brain
damage due to oxygen deprivation before the procedure could have
been undertaken.
Dr. Jones had a spotless record, but over the two weeks preceding
the incident he had appeared at the hospital smelling of alcohol
and evidencing other symptoms of intoxication. He was apparently
having marital problems at the time. Nurses at the hospital had
reported this behavior to their supervisor and had watched the
physician's work very carefully. The nurse supervisor had reported
the situation to the Chief of OB/GYN, who said he would look into
it. Ms Hernandez noticed the smell of liquor on Dr. Jones breath
during labor, and was upset by this. DR. Jones has also dropped his
malpractice coverage, a fact of which the hospital is aware.
The nurse midwife at the Center had observed that Dr. Jones acts
were questionable, but she had not intervened because she knew of
his excellent reputation. She knew that doctors were resentful of
the independence of nurse midwives at the Center, and she believed
she could compensate for his mistakes during delivery. By the time
she realized the extent of Dr. Jones intoxication and took over the
delivery, it was too late.
In exploring the relationship between Hapless Hospital and the
Happy Birthing Center a complicated connection emerges. The
hospital found that it needed to increase its patient census. It
participated in the establishment of the Happy Birthing Center. The
hospital receives a percentage of the profits of the Center.
The Center is located in a former convent one block from the
Hospital. The hospital owns the building and rents it to the
Center. This particular birthing center, according to its
promotional literature, offers both a home-like setting for the
delivery of your child and the security of the availability of
back-up physicians and hospital care. The Center is separately
incorporated and has its own Board of Directors. It is totally self
governing and is solely responsible for staff, provision of
equipment, and policy.
The phone listing in the Yellow Pages describes the Hospital as a
cooperating hospital that will provide care for mother and child if
needed. Hapless has a contract with the Center requiring the Center
to establish a screening program that will exclude high-risk
patients and that doctors attending patients at the Center have
privileges at Hapless Hospital. The Hospital allows employees of
the Center to participate in the hospital s group health and
pension plans. Nurses from the Hospital moonlight at the Center.
When they do so, they receive a separate paycheck from the
Center.
Although the Center's by-laws provide for a committee to review the
qualifications of physicians who attend at the Center, it has
instead relied on the hospital's review of qualifications because
the Hospital has a better opportunity to review credentials and
performance. It is not clear that the Hospital is aware of this;
while it does notify the Center of the suspension, denial or
revocation of privileges (pursuant to the above mentioned
contract), it does not provide the Center with information used in
investigations.
Ms. Hernandez wishes to sue for damages for the death of her
infant. Who, if anyone should she sue? Describe your theories based
on the information discovered. Against whom, or which entity, if
any, would she likely recover and why?
