What makes some students successful and others not? Sometimes, it is a matter of intelligence or good luck. But most of the time it is good habits: things you do on a regular basis that makes you different from other students, outshining and become the top of your classmates! In order for one to become successful, this article outlines five habits to aid you make college life a success.
1.Have a goal
They should know and have a good reason of why they are in college. Some go to college because of future career, professional school or to further their education. Let it not appear as if someone forced you to go to college, or assume it is a mandatory to go college as a next level of education. In the same vein, a college student should not waste time in the name of keeping themselves busy.
2.Set priorities
They too have a social life and some also work as well go to College. Here, they should know how to balance their time and choose what comes first or what the benefits will they get in doing such an activity like doing the homework verse having social life.
3.Be organized
When in college they should learn to put what they have been taught in notes form for revision purpose. Also, they should be doing more research while taking questions and be able to answer; avoid to be monitored all time with a lecturer.
4.Work efficiently
They should be able to do their college work to their best and once. Be attentive in the lecture room and get what is taught once. They should not expect the task to be always repeated. They should not be present, but also engage themselves in classwork. You may find some lecture halls are big with many students which makes a lecture not able to reach all of them, but by engaging in one way you will find being helped.
5.Engage the lecturer while challenging themselves
They should be able to make the lecture become friendly in a way of not keeping a distance. With that, they can freely send emails with questions seeking the answers. They should be active and what to know more, by doing this, even if the exams come and they fail, they will want to know how it should have been done. Above all, the student need to visualize success, this helps them to imagine the end product of the many years they have been in college with all the courses they have been learning. To really picture what it will be like, and to experience the good feelings that will come with it; what will come at the end of the road for them; their dream jobs, their acceptance to a prestigious professional school, or simply, the next stage in their lives! This provides motivation and energy, especially when you are in same routine, and makes it all seem worthwhile.

EMAN 620 –
Information Technology in Emergency Management
Module # 5
Mapping
Exercise
Due
at the end of Module # 5
Goal:
The Goal of this exercise is to
familiarize the student with online tools that help organize and display
information on a map in a short time frame.
The tool I recommend you use is Google Earth. You will be creating a map after an act of
terrorism has occurred.
Objectives:
The objectives of this exercise are
to:
Explore a online mapping platform like
Google Earth
Identify Key Features for a functional
site map
Produce a map with a legend that is
clear, readable and has value to commanders and responders
Background
Scenario:
A “ Dirty bomb “ has been detonated
directly in front of the White house in Washington D.C . This occurred at 10
a.m. on 04-20-(this year). The President was not at the White House during the
blast. It is utter chaos, with DC Fire/EMS responding.
Your role is the Emergency manager for
the City of Washington D.C. Within minutes of the attack you activate all
emergency functions. At 13:00 you are expected to provide a briefing to the
Mayor of D.C., and the President of the United States at a nearby facility. You
have been asked to keep your brief short with a single map that portrays the
situation and the response effort.
Your initial assessment reveals that
there is damage to buildings within a ¼ mile.
There are currently 86 fatalities and 200+ injured.
There happens to be absolutely no wind
on the day. However you are still concerned about the potential for radiation
exposure. Your staff recommends a “ hot zone” with a mile radius. That means
everything inside that area has potential for radiation.
Your overall task is to create a
status map for the purpose of:
Assuming you watched the video and
have downloaded Google Desk Top
If you cannot access Google Maps you
can use another map making program to produce your map or you can create a
paper map.
Review the scenario. More than enough
information available.
Email or text me with any questions.
Create a status map that provides a
snapshot of the situation. A few things you should consider
The immediate impact zone
The “ hot zone” i.e. suspected
contamination zone
Points of ingress/egress for rescuers
Staging area for rescue areas
De-contamination area for
people/equipment leaving
Temporary Debris Storage area. This
should be a large area of debris from the rescue effort can be temporarily
stockpiled.
Create a legend, Title and any other
required formatting.
Deliverables:
By the end of Module # 5 you are to
submit a file (yes PDF is ok) in the assignment folder with your result. The
file should contain the Map with a legend that is clear and easy to read.
Notes:
I purposely provided sparse
information. Take as many creative and
logical liberties as like to develop the scenario on your own. The point is
that you have to produce a single map – with what you feel is the most
important info to provide a snapshot of the situation. It’s up to you decide to what should go on
there.
The
Role of Stakeholders
What
are the stakeholders?
How
do the three primary stakeholder groups influence organizations?
What
steps would you take to effectively communicate a strategic plan?
Final
Strategic Plan
Create the Final Strategic
Plan. The Final Strategic Plan contains the elements of all the previous
weeks’ components and incorporates instructor feedback. However, this is
not a compilation or “cut-n-paste” of these prior papers. This
is intended to be a stand-alone project that builds upon your earlier
learnings. The strategic recommendations will be evaluated and the best options
chosen for the recommendation. The final strategic plan contains: (JP
Morgan Chase)
Executive Summary (Word
Document – 350 to 700 words)
Company Background
Mission Statement
Vision Statement
Value Statement
Environmental Scan
Internal and External
Environmental Analysis
Strategic Recommendation
Implementation Plan
Organizational Change
Management Strategies
Risk Management Plan
Conclusion
References
Create a 25- to 35-slide
Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with
speaker notes to present the strategic plan, combining all relevant elements
from previous weeks. The objective is to sell the strategic plan to investors
or company directors.
Format the assignment
according to APA guidelines. Support your assessments. Include a minimum of four
authoritative references. Remember all references should be included in the
body of your presentation/speaker’s notes as in-text citations.

that no citation is needed for common knowledge information, but specific
examples, details, or arguments drawn from the assigned sources DO need proper
source citation.
Martin
Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the
door of the Wittenburg Church in 1517. (common knowledge, no specific citation
needed)
The
Hebrew Old Testament is considered to be a book of folklore, myths and stories
that is useful for some understanding of Hebrew history, but not always
reliable as an historical source since it was written by religious devotees
rather than historians.[1] –
citation needed because this expresses a specific view or argument.
**If you are unsure of whether or not
a citation is needed, it is better to include the citation than to leave it
out. You can also contact your instructor for assistance.

Management
Accounting Problem : Holzmann Cleaning Services
Intermediate Management Accounting 2 / 3 PROJECT 1 (30 MARKS) Project 1
is due at the end of Week 3. It is out of 30 marks. Required: Assume the role
of a partner in Martine’s consulting business. Martine has asked you to assist
her with completing the analysis and developing a report for Gretel. Prepare a
report and supporting exhibits for Gretel, president of Holzmann Cleaning
Services (HCS), to analyze HCS’s current profitability and provide analysis of
the overhead allocations used. It should include the following: 1. Profit
analysis: Prepare a brief high-level overview of the 20X6 results in total
based on Exhibit 1 in the project details document. Your discussion should
highlight significant changes between 20X5 and 20X6 operations, and between
20X6 actual and 20X6 budgeted operations. (8 marks) 2. Costing analysis:
Prepare overall comments on the current method HCS uses to allocate its
overhead and provide further analysis on ways in which the company can improve
its costing methods in order to assess and manage its costs. Your analysis
should include the following: a) Calculate overhead applied rate per direct
labour hour (rounded to the nearest dollar), the overhead applied amount and
the resulting over- or underapplied overhead for 20X6 using the traditional
costing approach. Base this on the existing method of allocating service
overhead using direct labour hours as the allocation base. The 20X6 actual
wages and benefit rate were the same as budgeted at $13.20 per hour. (2 marks)
b) Use the regression analyses in Exhibit 3 in Project Details to determine the
viability of each cost driver to predict costs for cleaning supplies and
transportation. This should include reasons for choosing or not choosing the
regression analyses that were provided. (3 marks) c) Use the regression
analysis equation chosen in part (b) to separate the variable cost(s) from the
fixed cost(s). Only the fixed cost(s) would be categorized with the other
overhead costs. With the adjusted overhead costs, follow the traditional
costing approach to recalculate the overhead application rate using direct
labour hours as the allocation base. Calculate the over- or underapplied
overhead by applying the new overhead rate. Compare your result to part (a) and
provide an analysis of the differences between the two application rates. (4
marks) Intermediate Management Accounting Project 1 3 / 3 d) Using
activity-based costing and the information in Exhibit 2 in Project Details,
prepare a partial profit analysis for commercial and residential operations.
Use wages and benefits costs (allocated on the same basis as revenue) and all
costs from the activitybased data to prepare a partial operating statement that
includes all direct/traceable costs. Compare the segment margins between the
commercial and residential operations. (4 marks) Provide three points that
highlight the reasons for the difference between cost allocations using
activity-based costing and traditional costing. (3 marks) e) Provide overall
comments on the results of these analyses in your report. (3 marks) In addition
to the above, award 3 marks for report format and professionalism. Your report
should clearly communicate the important details of the case and effectively
persuade the reader to act on your advice. NOTE ON ROUNDING: Use unrounded
numbers for all calculations and round the final answer to the nearest dollar
Intermediate Management Accounting 2 / 11 PROJECT DETAILS “Adding time to
your day” is the slogan of Holzmann Cleaning Services (HCS). The company was
started by Gretel, who began offering cleaning services to support herself
while she was in university studying for a business degree. At the age of 21
she was determined to be known as more than a simple labourer who needed to
fund her education. She researched different cleaning products and
methodologies to deliver a fast and thorough service to her clients. Ten years
later, the business has grown in size and has expanded throughout the city and
local rural areas. Gretel is the majority shareholder of the private
corporation with two other shareholders. The company consists of a full-time
staff of three operations managers (one for commercial operations and two for
residential operations), an administrative staff of three, and part-time
cleaning staff of over 200 university students, called cleaning agents. Not
only is Gretel able to provide high-quality cleaning services to her clients,
but she is also able to offer university students part-time work, reducing the
need for student loans. The company also owns a fleet of three vans that are
used to transport cleaning agents to and from work sites. A fourth van is
available for the operations managers to make site visits if necessary.
Gretel’s training regimen is thorough as potential hires are trained in the
areas of cleaning products, effective cleaning methods and acceptable
deportment when entering a client’s residence or place of business. Through
this training process, which Gretel carries out herself, she is able to hire
only those individuals she feels would provide the high-quality service that
keeps clients coming back. Recently, Gretel engaged Martine, a CPA and a local
consultant, to review the latest operating statement. Gretel is discouraged
with the 20X6 profit margin (Exhibit 1). Additionally, she is concerned with
the cash flow as there are seasonal fluctuations in the work, with more work in
the months of March and April when many homeowners request more hours for
springcleaning chores. As such, Gretel must ensure that there is enough cash on
hand to build cleaning supplies inventories and pay for training of any new
recruits required to handle the extra work. Other than springtime, cleaning
supplies inventory on hand is minimal. She is hoping that Martine will provide
some guidance that will help the company attain its profit margins. She has
called a meeting with Martine, Sam, the operations manager of commercial
operations and Ling, one of the operations managers of residential operations.
Intermediate Management Accounting Project Details 3 / 11 GRETEL: I thought we
had a pretty good year; sales were up, and we’ve had great reviews. Yet when I
look at the bottom line, the profit margin is only 9%. I was hoping for at
least 12%. According to industry statistics, the profit margins should be at
least 25%. The other issue is that we were short on cash in the late summer.
MARTINE: Have there been any significant changes in the operations in the past
year? LING: I’ve noted that we’re taking on more residential clients outside
the city. I’ve had to make sure that we schedule in more travel time to reach
the destination on time. SAM: And don’t forget that at the request of a
majority of our commercial clients, we’ve included more eco-friendly cleaning
products. It helps boost their image of being socially responsible. MARTINE: I
can imagine that this has increased both your travel and cleaning supplies
costs. How do you currently cost out your services and how do you arrive at a
charge-out rate? GRETEL: We treat the wage costs of our cleaning agents as
direct costs. The cost of cleaning supplies, transportation and operations
managers’ salaries are considered overhead. We apply the overhead at $10 per
direct labour hour and add on an additional 60% to arrive at our charge-out
rate. MARTINE: Have you ever taken an activity-based approach to costing your
services? Besides the increase in cleaning supplies’ costs, are there some
other significant differences in the costs consumed by your commercial clients
versus the costs consumed by your residential clients? LING: Well, I’ve had a
bit of free time on the residential side so I’ve helped Sam out on occasion
with the commercial side. I’ve noted that most of the commercial clients are
clustered around the downtown core. So it takes less time to travel there.
GRETEL: Because our commercial clients have in-house accounts payable
departments, we usually only bill them once per month. While our more recent
residential clients are on monthly billing, we still have some that are on
weekly billing. However, you should note that we spend almost three times more
hours training cleaning agents who work for our commercial clients than
training those who work for our residential clients. Part of the reason is that
eco-friendly products require more application knowledge. MARTINE: So I
understand that the operations managers are not that busy on the residential
side? What’s the breakdown between residential and commercial clients? GRETEL:
We have about 120 regular commercial clients. They account for 60% of the
revenue, even though they amount to less than half of the clients. As for the
residential side, I’m not sure we require both full-time operations managers.
Alex has gone home early on some days because there was a shortage of work.
Intermediate Management Accounting Project Details 4 / 11 MARTINE: And are your
cash disbursements pretty much in line with your revenues? GRETEL: For the most
part. Our major expenses are cleaning supplies and transportation, which mostly
fluctuate with revenues, except for annual preventive maintenance on our vans,
which takes place in the slower months of July and August. Oh, and one more
thing: I would really like a solid way of giving a potential client a quote
before we begin a contract with them. Right now, I measure the square metres
and estimate how many hours it will take to complete the work. I multiply that
by the direct labour hourly rate and then add on our $10 overhead factor per
direct labour hour and 60% for profit. Any ideas? MARTINE: Let me work on this
and get back to you with a full report. In the week following the meeting,
Martine spent time with Gretel, the operations managers and the administrative
staff. She developed the following: ·
cost pools for indirect costs related to cleaning services along with the cost
driver for each pool and activity breakdowns for residential and commercial
clients (Exhibit 2) ·
regression analyses summary results (Exhibit 3) to determine the statistical
relationship between: o direct labour hours and transportation costs o direct
labour hours and cleaning supplies costs ·
details regarding expected growth for 20X7 (Exhibit 4) · details regarding a typical commercial and
residential client that could be used to develop quotes (Exhibit 5) · details relating to cash collections and
disbursements (Exhibit 6) Intermediate Management Accounting Project Details 5

report from Martine to Gretel, the president of Holzmann Cleaning Services
(HCS). It is due at the end of Week 5 and is out of 40 marks. 1. Prepare a
complete 20X7 operating budget for both commercial and residential operations,
based on the details provided in Exhibit 4 in Project Details. The operating
budget will require adjustments to the activity-based analysis prepared for the
direct costs in requirement 2 of Project 1. Indirect general costs should be allocated
60% to commercial and 40% to residential. (6 marks) Provide a discussion of the
results in your report. (4 marks) Note: It is important to provide the analysis
done in Project 1 so that markers don’t deduct marks for errors made in Project
1. 2. a) Revise the 20X7 operating budget statements to a contribution format.
Assume the following are variable costs: i) Wages and benefits ii) Cleaning
supplies iii) Transportation costs All remaining costs are fixed. (1 mark)
Based on the 20X7 budget: b) Calculate the break-even point in sales dollars
based on the 20X7 sales mix. (2 marks) c) Calculate the sales revenue required
to achieve a 25% profit margin. (2 marks) d) Provide comments on the results in
the report. Your discussion should also include comments on the margin of
safety (1 mark) and the limits of the CVP analysis as it pertains to HCS. (2
marks) 3. To assist Gretel in submitting bids for new work, use the 20X7
contribution margin budget to determine an average markup percentage on
variable costs for both commercial and residential cleaning services. Using the
markup percentages, calculate the sales price of a typical commercial and
residential contract (see Exhibit 5 in Project Details). (8 marks) Also provide
a short discussion of the results in your report. (2 marks) Intermediate
Management Accounting Project 2 3 / 3 4. Cash analysis: a) Prepare a cash
budget for the quarter starting July 20X6 using the information in Exhibit 6
found in Project Details. (6 marks) b) Prepare a discussion that highlights
your findings in your report. What advice can you give Gretel regarding the
handling of cash and her operations during this period? (4 marks) In addition
to the above, award 2 marks for report format and professionalism. Your report
should clearly communicate the important details of the case and effectively
persuade the reader to act on your advice. NOTE ON ROUNDING: Use unrounded
numbers for all calculations and round the final answer to the nearest dollar.

Read the article
entitled, “Are We Smarter than Our Parents?” in chapter 5 of your textbook.
This article addresses a study by Dr. James Flynn of the rise of the IQ rate
over generations, and how statistics are involved in tracking this phenomenon,
especially with reference to the material in chapter 5. Write a paper in which
you explore some of the statistical data that has been found in this area of
study. Additionally choose and answer one of the four questions below in a
focused and clear manner. Remember to integrate the statistical data in the
article that discusses this topic. 1.Which explanation do you favor for the
Flynn effect: that people are getting smarter or that people are merely getting
more practice at the skills measured on IQ tests? Defend your opinion. 2.The
rise in performance on IQ tests contrasts sharply with a steady decline in
performance over the past few decades on many tests that measure factual
knowledge, such as the SAT. Think of several possible ways to explain these
contrasting results, and form an opinion as to the most likely explanation.
3.Results on IQ tests tend to differ among different ethnic groups. Some people
have used this fact to argue that some ethnic groups tend to be intellectually
superior to others. Can such an argument still be supported in light of the
Flynn effect? Defend your opinion. 4.Discuss some of the common uses of JQ
tests. Do you think that IQ tests should be used for these purposes? Does the
Flynn effect alter your thoughts about the uses of IQ tests? Explain. Length:

Professional Portfolio Based
on ISOP
Professional
Portfolio This assignment requires you to gather a compilation of papers and
projects from this course and previous courses and add them to your
Professional Portfolio. The portfolio is designed to help you compile all you
have learned throughout your undergraduate studies with the best examples of
your work to represent what you are capable of doing when you graduate the
program. This assignment also gives you a opportunity to reflect on what you
have learned as a student of psychology, and to prepare to actualize your
post-graduation goals. It will serve as a resource as you navigate the world of
prospective employers and graduate admissions committees. The student portfolio
is also a measure of effectiveness for the Argosy University baccalaureate
program in Psychology. As you develop professionally following graduation, you
can add work samples and other pertinent materials, as well as modify existing
documents, to reflect that development. The Professional Portfolio includes two
main sections. A Professional Profile section that is completed by all students
with either an Employment focus or a Graduate School focus, depending on your
post-baccalaureate plans. The second section holds your Professional Work
Samples demonstrating your abilities, skills, and competencies across a range
of tasks and objectives. This section also includes a Final Evaluation of your
work samples, yourself, and the psychology program. The Professional Profile
section summarizes your career planning and professional goals. You have
already compiled the documents for this section in Modules 1 and 2 of this
course. It contains the following documents: A Cover Letter as a way to
introduce yourself to a potential employer This includes details about yourself
and why you feel you are qualified for the position. (Employment). OR A
Personal Statement describing your immediate and long-term career goals,
including an explanation of why these goals are appropriate in terms of your
knowledge, skills, personal characteristics, values, and experiences (Graduate
School). Note: The personal statement is attached to the Curriculum Vitae
(Graduate School), and the Cover Letter is attached to the Resume (Employment),
so take the time to be creative and not repeat yourself. A Resume with list of
References that is current, accurate, and professional in appearance.
(Employment). OR A Curriculum Vitae with list of References that is current,
accurate and professional in appearance. (Graduate School) OPTIONAL: A copy of
your Transcript(s) The Professional Work Samples section demonstrates your
performance and mastery of Argosy University’s program outcomes/competencies
for the Psychology major. Select 3-5 documents to serve as samples of your best
work in the program. Together, they should illustrate your mastery of all the 7
program outcomes listed below. Examples of the type of work that would
illustrate each outcome is provided below, as well. The 3-5 documents should be
samples of your work that you completed in previous courses as an undergraduate
student. These outcomes are listed below, along with the assignments that could
be included to demonstrate mastery of the outcome: Cognitive abilities
(critical thinking and information literacy): Assignments or projects that
demonstrate problem solving, analysis, synthesis, appropriate use of
information resources, etc. Research skills: A copy of a research proposal, a
survey developed, etc. Communication skills (written and oral): A topic paper,
presentation outline, or PowerPoint that demonstrates your written and oral
communication skills. Ethics & Diversity awareness: Papers that demonstrate
your understanding and/or analysis of ethical and diversity issues in
psychology. Knowledge of foundations of the field: Assignments, papers, or
projects that demonstrate your understanding of basic concepts, theories, and
empirical findings in one or more of the domains of psychology, including
biological, cognitive, developmental, personality, and social. Knowledge of
applied psychology: Assignments, papers, or projects from courses and/or an
internship that demonstrates your ability to apply psychology to personal,
social, and/or organizational problems. Interpersonal Effectiveness: PowerPoint
presentations, videos of your presentations that demonstrate your ability to
communicate effectively, appreciate diversity and cultural sensitivity and
awareness of your impact on others. Once you have assembled your work samples,
you will write a 700-1000 word narrative to serve as a preface to the
Professional Work Samples section. This narrative should consist of a clear and
thoughtful analysis of how each work sample reveals your strengths and areas
for improvement, according to each of the seven areas addressed in the program
outcomes/competencies (listed above). Towards this purpose, you will complete
the Student Self Appraisal of Learningfirst, and then use that to generate the
preface . Make sure you also address how you intend to strengthen your
competencies in all areas as you graduate onto the next step of your professional
career. On which areas will you focus most and why? This preface should also
include an evaluation of the Psychology program as well as suggestions for the
program that will enable it to help future Psychology majors develop these
strengths and overcome these weaknesses in the future. Enter each of these
