• Briefly summarize the patient case study you were assigned, including each of the three decisions you took for the patient presented.
• Based on the decisions you recommended for the patient case study, explain whether you believe the decisions provided were supported by the evidence-based literature. Be specific and provide examples. Be sure to support your response with evidence and references from outside resources.
• What were you hoping to achieve with the decisions you recommended for the patient case study you were assigned? Support your response with evidence and references from outside resources.
• Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with each of the decisions and the results of the decision i
• the exercise. Describe whether they were different. Be specific and provide examples.

After finishing our reading assignment, let’s just jump right into simulations. In this discussion I want you to tell me briefly how would you design a simulation project to study COVID-19 spread on a university campus. The general goal is obvious – try to predict how quickly would the disease spread under various scenarios.

Questions to keep in mind: What elements would your simulation model? What things do you think are important to consider, and how do you think we can implement them? What would be the inputs into your simulation? What parameters do you want to alter for “what if” scenarios?

Remember, this is our first week, we are not supposed to know much, so just show me your thought on the matter. I will not be grading harshly (as long as I see that you put some thought in it). Also, keep it brief (about a “page”), we do not want a full blown project yet.

CMIT 350 Subnetting Project.
 

You are a consultant for being brought in by XUMUC to assist with a merger with another company.
Background:
XUMUC is has the WAN links in place to the new locations in the Houston Region. XUMUC currently has 2 other Regions San Francisco and Denver. Originally, XUMUC was only in one region (San Francisco). The previous consultant did a poor job with the integration resulting in a poor IP address scheme as a result routing tables at the summarization points and at the San Francisco Campus are very large. In addition, no VLAN structure was developed to isolate broadcast traffic. There are 4 main departments in XUMC: sales, finance, human resources, and research and development. Also, there has been some concern that the WAN transport was not able to accommodate the network traffic. Finally, all addresses in the network are statically assigned resulting in high administration overhead when changes are needed XUMC would like this changed to lower administrative overhead.

The Context of the Problem

Large technology projects, whether the development of new technologies or upgrading current systems or software applications, can be costly. In larger organizations, a million-dollar (or more) project is not unusual. Once a project is rolled out to production, it is important to evaluate the performance of the project. This is generally a comparison of the anticipated benefits used in making the decision to move forward with the project versus the actual performance of the systems of software once in use. Various methods may be used to evaluate the performance; however, it is important to develop a broad set of standards for making an assessment of the systems or software.

The Problem

Your organization has made a very large investment in the purchase of infrastructure or development of an in-house software application. As examples, the network infrastructure has had a hardware refresh, business analysis data tools have been implemented, or a new customer resource management software tool has been implemented. Your team must assess the performance of the newly launched technology. You will be providing the various stakeholders (user community, project managers, and senior leadership) with the plan to be used for conducting the performance assessment, including the process of collecting performance data, analysis methods, and an explanation of the appropriateness of the methods to be used (the data may be concocted or gathered from a representative system).

As you work through the problem, be sure to focus on reaching these learning outcomes:

1. Optimize organizational processes using data analysis.
2. Assess the potential of various software to enhance organizational performance.
3. Evaluate applications for the potential to improve collaboration, sharing, and lowering cost.
4. Manage application development to lower cost and improve quality and customer satisfaction.
5. Maximize the return on organizational technology investments.
6. Develop application policies and procedures consistent with the Virtuous Business Model.
7. Assess the challenges, technologies, and system approach issues in developing and deploying applications.

Deliverable: 

The Research Plan

Now that your team has developed your Evaluation Framework, it’s almost time to test your solution. First, your team will create a research plan that compares your solution to existing test cases for organizations in similar sectors. Focus on how these use cases measure performance characteristics of technical and behavioral attributes associated with a technology investment made on behalf of an organization.

The plan should address in detail the following information:

• A detailed description of the measurement framework, including stakeholder perspectives and data sources
• How each measurement may affect the overall performance evaluation
• When post-implementation evaluations should be performed
• How change management should be addressed
• Format used to report the results of data analysis

Your research plan will guide the test of your solution.

Testing the Solution

Use your team’s network to find at least two stakeholders in IT implementation. Set up an interview and ask them about a prior IT implementation.

Be sure to ask the following questions:

• Did the investment accomplish the organizational goal it was meant to?
• How did you arrive at that answer?
• What user experience feedback did you receive?
• Was that goal clearly articulated and understood by all stakeholders?
• How long after implementation did you make the assessment?
• What did you learn about the difference between cost and value when it comes to a major investment?

Come prepared with a short summary of your Evaluation Framework. Ask your stakeholder for feedback on your Evaluation Framework. After your conversation, report back on where your plan was met with criticism or approval.

Communicate with your instructor if you are having difficulty identifying stakeholders for the interviews.

The Results

Testing the solution will yield results. In this course, the results of your test will be qualitative interviews that yield categories of user confidence in the Evaluation Framework you’re proposing. The method of reporting will need to be determined in advance of data collection to ensure each reporting member of the team returns usable performance results

Instructions for Deliverable

1. As a team, determine how you will present your test results.
2. To conduct the test, maximize your interview time.
3. After your interview, describe how a team would use the Evaluation Framework to test the performance of an investment. Analyze the plan for any weaknesses: Does it provide the solution(s) needed?
4. Present the results of your test as organized information. Provide a brief summary of the action steps needed to strengthen your solution. Clearly indicate team members’ contributions.
5. One person from the team must submit the deliverable per the schedule outlined in your Team PBL.

We are team of 2.

6.19 Program #2: Poker dice game

Program Specifications Write a program to calculate the score from a throw of five dice. Scores are assigned to different categories for singles, three of a kind, four of a kind, five of a kind, full house, and straight. Follow each step to gradually complete all methods.

Note: This program is designed for incremental development. Complete each step and submit for grading before starting the next step. Only a portion of tests pass after each step but confirm progress.

Step 0. Review the provided main() method. Five integer values are input and inserted into an array. The array is sorted and passed to findHighScore() to determine the highest scoring category. Make no changes to main(). Stubs are provided for all remaining methods.

Step 1 (3 pts). Complete the checkSingles() method. Return the sum of all values that match parameter goal. Update the findHighScore() method to use a loop to call checkSingles() six times with parameters of 1 – 6. Return the highest score from all method calls. Submit for grading to confirm two tests pass.

Ex: If input is:

2 4 1 5 4

the output is:

High score: 8

Step 2 (3 pts). Complete the checkThreeOfKind(), checkFourOfKind(), and checkFiveOfKind() methods. Hint: Since the values are in ascending order, same values are stored in consecutive index locations. Return 30 from checkThreeOfKind() if the dice contain at least three of the same values. Ex: (2, 3, 3, 3, 6). Return 40 from checkFourOfKind() if the dice contain at least four of the same values. Ex: (4, 4, 4, 4, 5). Return 50 from checkFiveOfKind() if the dice contain five identical values. Ex: (5, 5, 5, 5, 5). Update the findHighScore() method to call the three methods and return the highest score from all method calls. Submit for grading to confirm five tests pass.

Ex: If input is:

2 4 4 5 4

the output is:

High score: 30

Step 3 (2 pts). Complete the checkFullHouse() method to return 35 if the dice contain a full house (a pair and three of a kind). Ex: (1, 1, 3, 3, 3). Note: Five of a kind also satisfies the definition of a full house since (4, 4, 4, 4, 4) includes a pair of 4s and three 4s. Update the findHighScore() method to call checkFullHouse() and return the highest score from all method calls. Submit for grading to confirm seven tests pass.

Step 4 (2 pts). Complete the checkStraight() method to return 45 if the dice contain a straight of (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Update the findHighScore() method to call checkStraight() and return the highest score from all method calls. Submit for grading to confirm all tests pass.

I need help making this code, I could only do checkSingles(). Please help.

Prepare a paper on some of the various issues, protocols, methods, frameworks you found and discuss how – if possible – organizations can use ERM as strategy. It is perfectly acceptable if you deem ERM cannot be used as strategy, just back up your claim with scholarly research and justifications. 

Read the case “The POM+ Project*- Part 1 APPENDIX 2

Big Kola Company has been concerned that specialized fruit drinks have been eroding their cola market. The CEO mandates that “If you can’t beat them, join them.” Grape juice was the first product that was successful after an advertising blitz claiming the antitoxin benefits. Lately, competition is compressing grape juice margins and profits. Months of additional market surveys and focus groups have resulted in three potential high-margin drinks: cranberry, blueberry, and pomegranate. All these choices represent antitoxins. The decision is to produce the pomegranate drink that has many health claims. For example, the relative ability of these juices to eliminate harmful free radicals (antitoxins) is 71 percent for pomegranate, 33 percent for blueberry, and 20 percent for cranberry (Technion Institute of Technology). The market potential appears very attractive and should have a higher profit margin than the other potential juice products. Another appeal for pomegranate juice is its familiarity in the Middle East and Asia. (See full details on pages 639-341)

PROJECT STEPS

1. Lael Masterson works in the Student Activities Office at Valerian State College in Illinois. Lael has started compiling information on students who are interested in helping run student organizations at Valerian State, and she needs your help completing the workbook.
Switch to the Student Representatives worksheet. In cell E2, enter a formula using the HLOOKUP function as follows to determine a student’s potential base hourly rate (which is based on the number of years of post-secondary education):

a. Use a structured reference to look up the value in the Post-Secondary Years column. Retrieve the value in the 2nd row of the table in the range P13:U14, using an absolute reference. Because base hourly rate is tiered based on the number of years of education, find an approximate match.

b. Fill the formula into the range E3:E31, if necessary.

2. Student organizations sometimes require transportation for off-campus activities, and school policy requires students to be over 23 years old to serve as transport.
Lael wants to determine how many of the active students will be eligible to transport other group members. In cell J2, enter a formula using the IF function and structured references as follows to determine if Kay Colbert can serve as authorized transport:

a. The function should use a reference to the Age column to determine if the student’s age is greater than 23, and should return the text Yes if true and No if false.

b. Fill the formula into the range J3:J31, if necessary.

3. To be eligible for the leadership training program offered by the office, a student must have at least 2 years of post-secondary education or have gone through the organization finance training.
In cell K2 enter a formula using the IF and OR functions and structured references as follows to determine if Kay Colbert can join the leadership training program:

a. The IF function should determine if the student’s Post-Secondary Years is greater than or equal to 2 OR if the student’s finance certified status is “Yes”, returning the text Yes if a student meets one or both of those criteria or the text No if a student meets neither of those criteria.

b. Fill the formula into the range K3:K31, if necessary.

4. Experienced students may serve as mentors if they are at least age 21 and have at least 3 years of post-secondary education. In cell L2, enter a formula using the IF and AND functions and structured references as follows to determine if Kay Colbert is eligible to serve as a mentor:

a. The IF function should determine if the student’s age is greater than or equal to 21 AND the student’s post-secondary years are greater than or equal to 3, and should return the text Yes if a student meets both of those criteria or the text No if a student meets none or only one of those criteria.

b. Fill the formula into the range L3:L31, if necessary.

5. Lael is always on the lookout for students who might be interested in running for office in student groups.
In cell M2, enter a formula using a nested IF function and structured references as follows to determine first if a student has already been elected to office in a student group, and if not, whether that student meets the qualifications to run in the future:

a. If the value in the Elected column is equal to the text “Yes”, the formula should display Elected as the text.

b. Otherwise, the formula should determine if the value in the Finance Certified column is equal to the text “Yes” and return the text Yes if true And No if false.

6. Students who work with student organizations are also considered for employment at the Student Activities Office. Students with more than 4 years of post-secondary education are qualified for more complex Tier 2 jobs.
In cell N1, enter the text Tier as the column heading. 

7. In cell N2, enter a formula using the IF function and structured references as follows to determine which work tier Kay Colbert is qualified for:

a. The IF function should determine if the student’s Post-Secondary Years is greater than or equal to 4, and return the value 2 if true or the value 1 if false.

b. Fill the formula into the range N3:N31, if necessary.

8. Lael wants a quick way to look up students by their Student ID.
In cell Q3, nest the existing VLOOKUP function in an IFERROR function. If the VLOOKUP function returns an error result, the text Invalid Student ID should display.

9. Lael wants to determine several totals and averages for active students.
In cell Q8, enter a formula using the COUNTIF function and structured references to count the number of students who have been elected to offices in student organizations.

10. In cell R8, enter a formula using the AVERAGEIF function and structured references to determine the average number of post-secondary years for students who have been elected.

11. In cell R9, enter a formula using the AVERAGE function and structured references to determine the average number of years of post-secondary education of all students as shown in the Post-Secondary Years column.

12. Switch to the Academic Groups worksheet. In cell A14, use the INDEX function and structured references to display the value in the first row and first column of the AcademicGroups table.

13. In cell A17, use the SUMIF function and structured references to display the total membership in 2023 for groups with at least 40 members.

14. Lael is also planning for student groups that the office will be working with in the coming year. She decides to create a PivotTable to better manipulate and filter the student group data.
Switch to the Academic PivotTable worksheet, then create a PivotTable in cell A1 based on the AcademicGroups table. Update the PivotTable as follows so that it matches Final Figure 2:

a. Change the PivotTable name to: AcademicPivotTable

b. Add the Activities field and the Group Name field (in that order) to the Rows area. 

c. Add the 2021, 2022, and 2023 fields (in that order) to the Values area.

d. Change the display of subtotals to Show all Subtotals at Top of Group.

e. Change the report layout to Show in Outline Form.

f. Update the Sum of 2021 field in the Values area to display the name 2021 Membership with the Number number format with 0 decimal places.

g. Update the Sum of 2022 field in the Values area to display the name 2022 Membership with the Number number format with 0 decimal places.

h. Update the Sum of 2023 field in the Values area to display the name 2023 Membership with the Number number format with 0 decimal places.

15. Lael wants to summarize data for all student groups in a PivotTable. To do so, she must first update the AllGroups table.
Switch to the All Groups worksheet then edit the record for the Astronomy Society to use 76 as the 2023 field value.

16. Switch to the All Groups PivotTable worksheet. Refresh the PivotTable data, then verify that the 2023 Membership value for the Astronomy Society in row 6 reflects the change you made in the previous step.

17. Apply the Light Blue, Pivot Style Medium 2 PivotTable style to the PivotTable.

18. Add the Office field to the Filters area of the Pivot Table. Filter the table so that only organizations with private offices are visible.

19. Filter the PivotTable as follows:

a. Create a Slicer based on the Activities field value.

b. Resize the slicer so that it has a height of 2.2″ and a width of 3.2″. 

c. Move the slicer so that its upper-left corner appears within cell F3 and its lower-right corner appears within cell J14. 

d. Use the slicer to filter the PivotTable so that only Fraternal groups are visible.

Lael also wants to summarize membership data for all organizations using a PivotChart to help determine which groups are showing the most interest from students.
Switch to the Activities PivotTable worksheet. Based on
