Step 1: On your computer on your c:/ (or d:/) drive, create a folder named “AIU Courses.” Under that folder, create a subfolder named “COMP101” (both without quotes). Use this folder to store all of your assignments and materials for this course.

Step 2: Download the document, COMP101_U1_IP_Document.docx, to your computer and save the document on your hard drive in the COMP101 folder you created in step 1.

Step 3: Open the Word program on your computer. Under the File tab, click on “Open” and navigate to your c:/AIU Courses/COMP101 folder. Double-click on the COMP101_U1_IP_Document.docx file you created in Step 2. The COMP101 IP_Document.docx should open in the Word program.

Step 4: Under the File tab, use the “Save As” function to save your Unit 1 IP document to your c:/AIU Courses/COMP101 with the following file name: (your last name_your first name)_U1_IP.docx (e.g., Doe_John_U1_IP.docx). It is not necessary to type the file extension; your computer will add that automatically; the file extension is the part of the filename that includes the period and 3-4 characters after the period.

Step 5: Navigate to the Review ribbon at the top of the page and turn on Track Changes for this document. Leave Track Changes on throughout the rest of these steps.

Step 6: Type your name in the Name Field of Part 1; you do not need to complete the rest of part 1. Using the “Insert Comment” on the Review ribbon, insert a comment at the line marked “Name: __________” stating “This is my correct name.”

Step 7: On the Page Layout ribbon, set the margins to 1″ on all four sides for this document.

Step 8: You will notice on the Home ribbon that the “Show paragraph marks and other hidden formatting symbols” look like a backwards P. Turn this feature off by unselecting that icon so that the formatting symbols do not appear. If the feature is already off, leave it off.

Step 9: For the entire Paragraph 1 in Part 2, change the line spacing to double-spacing by clicking and dragging your mouse to select the entire paragraph 1 of Part 2 only and then selecting the correct function in the Paragraph section of the Home ribbon.

Step 10: Copy the entire Paragraph 2 to the clipboard and paste this paragraph to the end of the document.

Step 11: Cut Paragraph 3 out of the document and paste it to the end of the document.

Step 12: Click and drag  your mouse to select all of Paragraph 4 and change its font to Times New Roman with 14-point type.

Step 13: On the Review ribbon, click on “Check Spelling and Grammar,” and correct all spelling and grammar errors. For spelling, any word that is underlined with a wavy red line may be misspelled; put the cursor on the suspected misspelled word and right-click your mouse to see the spell checker’s suggested word spellings; choose the correct one from that list. For grammar, words may be underlined with a wavy green line. You can also use the Spelling & Grammar button in the Review tab, or click F7.

Step 14: Change “Part 1” and “Part 2” to the Heading 1 style, and then center them on the page. Do this for the Headings only, not the entire section.

Step 15: Use the Find and Replace functions to find and replace all occurrences of “IP” with “Individual Project” except the ones in Paragraph 6.

Step 16: Make the entire Paragraph 5 bold and italics with the Arial 12-point type.

Step 17: Make Paragraph 6 a hanging indent paragraph. The first line of a hanging indent is flush left, the rest of the paragraph is indented.

Step 18: Save your Unit 1 IP to your c:/AIU Courses/COMP101 folder as (your last name_your first name)_U1_IP.docx in the Unit 1 Submissions area (e.g., Doe_John_U1_IP.docx). It is not necessary to type the file extension; your computer will add that automatically; the file extension is the part of the filename that includes the period and 3-4 characters after the period.

Literature reviews help to provide boundaries of what is known about a particular field and serve to guide researchers in their quest to uncover the mysteries and nuances of a selected issue or problem. A well-developed review of literature is essential to a thorough, well-considered paper. Whether the writing is intended for a high-end scholarly journal or a student’s weekly assignment, the literature review pertains to uncovering the body of knowledge that previous researchers have generated. It is a savvy researcher who is able to take advantage of the existing base of knowledge in the creation of a new line of inquiry. A literature review should be conducted at the beginning of a research study.

Final Paper

Focus of the Final Paper

This paper will be an application of the leadership practice concepts learned throughout your degree program to a real-world situation. In a 7 page paper, discuss one significant organizational challenge, within your organization or an organization you have researched. How did the leadership of the organization address the challenge? Could it have been done more effectively? How would you recommend future leaders strategically plan to avoid encountering a similar challenge within their own organizations? Provide suggestions for overcoming the challenge based on your own research and concepts presented in your degree program and grounded in leadership theory. Some challenges to consider would be (but are not limited to): an ethical challenge, a challenge occurring because of changes in the economy, a globalization challenge, or a challenge of organizational culture. Please request instructor approval of the challenge you would like to use as your focus before beginning your paper.

The Final Paper should, at minimum, include:

1. A description of the organization and its primary stakeholders. Include the vision and mission statement if they are available to the public, and the code of ethics if the company has one (if it is long, an excerpt or description is an acceptable alternative).

2. A detailed analysis of one challenge facing the leadership of the organization.

3. A strategy for overcoming the challenge based on outside research, the textbook, and concepts discussed during your degree studies.

1. Watch the videos
   • Week 2 Video Lecture – Capacitive Reactance
2. Consider the circuit below:For each value of the frequency in the chart below, perform calculations for Ic, Vc and Xc.
   

   Frequency	Calculated Ic	Calculated Vc	Calculated XC	Measured IC	Measured Vc	XC (From Measured)
   100 Hz
   500 Hz
   1000 Hz
   1500 Hz
   10000 Hz
   20000 Hz

3. Construct the circuit with MultiSIM using a 10% tolerance for the capacitor. Replace the AC source shown with the Agilent Function Generator.*Note: One way to set the tolerance on a component is to do the following:
   1. Double-click on the component and select the Value tab.
   2. Select or enter the desired value in the Tolerance field and click OK.
4. Complete the chart by adjusting the values of frequency and measuring Ic and Vc using the Agilent Multi-meter and then from these values calculating the value of Xc in the last column.*Note: Current is measured in series with the capacitor and voltage is measured in parallel (across) the capacitor. Capture screenshots showing the measured values of Ic and Vc using the Agilent Multi-meter.
5. Discuss the following:
   1. Describe the relationship between the frequency and the capacitive reactance.
   2. What effect does frequency have on Ic and Vc for a fixed value of capacitance in this circuit?
   3. For a frequency of 1000Hz, what would be the effect of increasing the value of the capacitor on the current Ic and the voltage Vc?
   4. Why is it necessary to measure current in series with a device and voltage across it?
   5. Why is it necessary to determine X_c from measured values of current and voltage as opposed to measuring it directly with a digital multi-meter? (It may be helpful to perform research on the internet to gain more insight into the topic of this question.)

Assignment 3: Communication: Culture and Context

In this assignment, you will consider the effect of culture and context on communication. There are many definitions of culture, but most include a reference to shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, cognitive constructs, and effective understanding that are learned through a process of socialization. These shared patterns identify the members of a cultural group while also distinguishing those of another group. Culture is about symbols and language, and these elements are central to communication. The idea of something being “lost in translation” is readily apparent to most people who have studied another language and translated a passage into their own primary language. The rate of speech and importance of nonverbal aspects of communication are just a few ways culture can impact the message sent. The importance of context always varies by culture—for example, in some cultures, what is said is much more important than how it is said while in other cultures the “how” may carry much greater importance.

Tasks:

Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, complete the following:

• Analyze a recent conversation you had with a person of a different culture. Or, if you haven’t had this type of conversation recently, find a video clip online that focuses on people from different cultures communicating and analyze the clip.
• Provide a brief synopsis of the conversation—what was the general content and context?
• Describe how you greeted this person. Did you greet this person with a kiss, a handshake, or some other cultural mannerism? Was there additional touching or no touching at all?
• Describe your physical proximity. How far were you standing from each other? What if any body language was evident? Did you maintain eye contact?
• Describe the physical characteristics that might be evident. What were you wearing? Were you dressed in casuals or in business attire? Describe what the other person was wearing. How might the apparel make a difference in the conversation?
• Describe the protocol for the conversation. Did you take turns talking, or did you both talk at the same time? How did you refer to each other? Do you feel like you had equal time to express yourself? Why or why not?
• Did the physical setting impact what was discussed? What did you talk about? How was the conversation brought to a close? What happened at the end?
• How might your own cultural affiliation have impacted this conversation? Do an analysis using support from scholarly sources.

Submission Details:

• By Wednesday, January 13, 2016, prepare a 3- to 4-page paper. Your response should rely upon at least two sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
