The Remote Worker

Did you ever have a job interview and dreaded some of those standard questions such as

• Tell me about a time you experienced a conflict and what was the result?
• Give me an example of an initiative you started.
• What are your career goals?

The following video discusses an interesting business perspective that links the idea of story structure to a business setting. In other words, you can use the idea of story structure to tell the story about YOU.. to future employers, prospective clients, shareholders, etc.

Review the following video: 

Structure of a business story Structure of a story (Links to an external site.)

Initial Response

You can make up a name if you would like):

• Example job interview question (list the question and provide your response)
• A problem you have (or in your community) and a potential solution.
• A new business venture you are thinking about
• A conflict you have at work.
• A career goal you have.

Respond to others

Respond to at least one other person and discuss the following:

• What did you learn from the story that you can use when telling your own story?

Installation Exercise

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to download the source code for a project, in this case 4th, and build it on ANY SERVER. 4th is an implementation of the programming language “forth”. You do not need to know anything about “forth” to complete this assignment.

Requirements

· In addition to building the “4th” system, you will be asked to record certain events below. You will save the recorded information in an ASCII file named “4th_log.txt”. The file, “4th_log.txt”, must be located in the following directory: $HOME/itec400/homework

· Create the following directory:

$HOME/itec400/homework/4th

This directory will be used to hold the files needed to build 4th.

· Downloaded the compressed “tar” file on cs.franklin.edu. The full path to the file is: /export/home/dandrear/public_html/itec400/Misc/4th-3.3d2-unix.tar.gz

· Copy the “tar” file into your “4th” directory.

· Unpack the “tar” file using the ‘tar’ command. Remember, this file is also compressed, so unpack the file as follows:

o Uncompress the file using gunzip: gunzip 4th-3.3d2-unix.tar.gz

o Unpack the tar file

tar xf 4th-3.3d2-unix.tar

· You should now see a new directory named “4th-3.3d2”.

· cd 4th-3.3d2

· Record in “4th_log.txt” the size of the file “readme.txt”.

· cd sources

· Take a look at the file: Makefile and find the target named ‘4th’.

· Record in “4th_log.txt” the prerequisites for the target ‘4th’.

· Use the “make” command to build the product.

· If everything worked okay, “make” should have created an executable file called “4th”.

· Record in “4th_log.txt” the size of the executable named “4th”, in bytes.

· Copy the “4th” executable to the following directory: $HOME/itec400/homework/4th/4th-3.3d2

· cd $HOME/itec400/homework/4th/4th-3.3d2

· Now we are ready to try it out. When you run “4th”, it will place you in its own environment. Please follow the steps below.

· Make sure you are in “$HOME/itec400/homework/4th/4th-3.3d2”

· At the UNIX prompt, type: 4th You should see the following:

4tH System V4.5a – (c) 1994,2003 HanSoft & Partners

(S)creen file: new.scr

(O)bject file: out

(E)dit (C)ompile (R)un (A)rguments

(Q)uit (G)enerate (B)uild (D)ecompile

> 

The “>”character is the prompt within the 4th system.

· At the “4th” prompt, type: s

· You should now be prompted to enter a “Screen file name”

· At the “Screen file name” prompt, type: examples/romans.4th

You have just loaded the script “romans.4th” from the “examples” directory, which is below your current directory. This script will convert Arabic numerals to Roman Numerals (for example 4 to IV).

· At the 4th prompt, type: r

The script should be running now. Just type in a number and see the script perform the conversion. After the conversion, the script will return to the 4th prompt. You can type “r” again to rerun the script

· Another fun script is “keirsey.4th”. This script will ask you a series of questions and determine your personality type based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. To run this script do the following:

· At the 4th prompt, type: s

· At the “Screen file name:” prompt, type: examples/keirsey.4th

· At the 4th prompt, type: r

· The script will ask you a lot of questions about your personality and finally, it will identify your personality type.

· The source code for these and other examples are located at: $HOME/itec400/homework/4th/4th-3.3d2/examples

Remember that the source is in “forth”

· If you are interested in the “forth” language, there is a tutorial at:

$HOME/itec400/homework/4th/4th-3.3d2/documentation/ Primer.txt

 (Khenedye)There are many risk factors to consider when you don’t assess the technical risk that is associated with information system development projects. One of the risk factors is the user group. When dealing with things like this you should want some who is familiar with information systems entire development process and have had prior experience in using the system before. I feel when you are trying to minimize risk the experience can be detrimental to the success of the project as a whole. The development group is an important factor as well. You want someone who knows the lay of the land such as softwares, development methods, and application areas.  You also want to try to control the project size. People working on it should have an assigned task to keep things moving smoothly.  Deadlines along with departments within the organization should be a sign to keep things in order and no one is confused on what they should be doing. The consequences of not managing the risk could vary from a number of things potentially spiraling down to the point where your project is no longer salvageable. For one it could compromise the integrity of the project as a whole. Not setting deadlines could lead to more room for errors due to things lingering amongst the group. Another risk or consequence would be failure to obtain proficient performance levels. The larger the project is the more the project is at risk anyway. To alleviate some of this for projects that have no choice but to be large would be to possibly break the project down into sections and assigning certain people those projects compared to everyone working on the same thing. By doing this you ensure all bases are touched and result in a successful project because if everyone does there part the chance for error slims down.

Excel Chapter 11 Capstone Assessment – Deans

Project Description:

You work for the vice president’s office at a major university. Human Resources provided a list of deans and associate deans, the colleges or schools they represent, and other details. You will use text functions to manipulate text, apply an advanced filter to display selected records, insert database summary statistics, use lookup functions, and display formulas as text.

2

First, you want to combine the   year and number to create a unique ID.
 

  In cell C8, enter 2006-435 and use Flash Fill to complete the IDs for all the deans and   associate deans.

3

Next, you want to create a   three-character abbreviation for the college names.
 

  In cell E8, use the text function to display the first three characters of   the college name stored in the previous column. Copy the function to the   range E9:E28.

4

The college names are hard to   read in all capital letters.
 

  In cell F8, insert the correct text function to display the college name in   upper- and lowercase letters. Copy the function to the range F9:F28.

5

You want to display the names in   this format Last, First.
 

  In cell J8, insert either the CONCAT or TEXTJOIN function to combine the last   name, comma and space, and the first name. Copy the function to the range   J9:J28.

6

Columns K and L combine the   office building number and room with the office phone extension. You want to   separate the office extension.
 

  Select the range K8:K28 and convert the text to columns, separating the data   at commas.

7

You decide to create a criteria   area to perform an advanced filter soon.
 

  Copy the range A7:M7 and paste it starting in cell A30. Enter the criterion Associate Dean in the appropriate cell on row   31.

8

Now you are ready to perform the   advanced filter.
 

  Perform an advanced filter using the range A7:M28 as the data source, the   criteria range you just created, and copying the records to the output area   A34:M34.

9

The top-right section of the   worksheet contains a summary area. You will insert database functions to   provide summary details about the Associate Deans.
 

  In cell L2, insert the database function to calculate the average salary for   Associate Deans.

10

In cell L3, insert the database   function to display the lowest salary for Associate Deans.

11

In cell L4, insert the database   function to display the highest salary for Associate Deans.

12

Finally, you want to calculate   the total salaries for Associate Deans.
 

  In cell L5, insert the database function to calculate the total salary for   Associate Deans. 

13

Format the range L2:L5 with   Accounting Number Format with zero decimal places.

14

The range G1:H5 is designed to   be able to enter an ID to look up that person’s last name and salary.
 

  In cell H3, insert the MATCH function to look up the ID stored in cell H2,   compare it to the IDs in the range C8:C28, and return the position number.

15

Now that you have identified the   location of the ID, you can identify the person’s last name and salary.
 

  In cell H4, insert the INDEX function. Use the position number stored in cell   H3, the range C8:M28 for the array, and the correct column number within the   range. Use mixed references to keep the row numbers from changing. Copy the   function to cell H5 but preserve formatting. In cell H5, edit the column   number to display the salary.

16

In cell D2, insert the function   to display the formula stored in cell F8.
  In cell D3, insert the function to display the formula stored in cell H3.
  In cell D4, insert the function to display the formula stored in cell H4.
  In cell D5, insert the function to display the formula stored in cell L3.

YO19_IntegratedProject_1_LaundryProposal 1.1

Project Description:

As a student at the university, you have an entrepreneurial spirit and have dreamed of starting your own business. You have noticed that the coin laundry in your dorm is always full and crowded. You saw an opportunity to start a business that picks up laundry at the dorms, launders the clothes, folds the clothes, and returns the laundry in a single day. The first step to starting this business is to create a proposal for the university to approve the service to have some operations within the dorms. You started by conducting a survey of your fellow students. The next step is to process the survey results and create a proposal for the university.
