Task 9 Final Project

You have chosen to join WHO. They are particularly interested in your microbiology skills since there have been many outbreaks of disease around the world. Now that you have reviewed your microbiology, you have been notified that you will be sent to one of two areas, West Africa, or the Middle East. In preparation, the Peace Corp would like you to choose one of these areas and complete a plan to deal with outbreaks or potential outbreaks in the area.

Choose an outbreak from those below to investigate.

Ebola or Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)

Locate resources that will provide information about the infection, causing microbe, mode of infection, mode of spread, group or groups specifically susceptible, where outbreak occurred and when, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, infection control.

Find first person reports such as interviews or personal reports or journals on the outbreak. If you need help work with the librarian.

Design and submit an outline of the information you have uncovered. You will use this information to complete the project. The outline should contain information and cited resources for:

  1. Name of the disease chosen
  2. Causing microbe
  3. Mode of infection
  4. Mode of spread
  5. Group or groups specifically susceptible
  6. Where outbreak occurred and when
  7. Clinical evaluation and diagnosis
  8. Infection control.

Lesson 9

Activity 1: Completing the Project

First, using the information found, develop a one to two page maximum overview of the disease outbreak and the causal microbe.

Second, design a map showing the origin and spread of the infection.

Third, design a guide for communities on surveillance, control, preparedness and response to the outbreak. If this includes quarantine, describe how the community would carry this out, what resources would be needed, and what the communication protocol would be.

Submit completed project to Moodle

Activity 2: Oral Presentation

Prepare a 2 minute maximum presentation of your research to a WHO committee. You may do this presentation in person, live virtually on Adobe Connect, or video taped and submitted in Moodle.

Reflection on The Judiciary

Reflection on The Judiciary

This module is on the U.S. Judiciary as an institution, specifically its supremacy in interpreting the U.S. Constitution. This assignment is intended to be a reflective paper on what you have read in the fourth module of the course. The paper is to be a minimum of three and maximum of five pages in length, double-spaced, with standard margins and no cover page. Make sure you include your name and “Reflection Paper #4” on the first page of the paper. Papers are to be uploaded to Canvas. This paper is due on Monday, July 27, by 11:59 p.m. You may earn up to 150 points.

The main purpose of this assignment is for you to reflect on and express what you learned and gained from the assigned readings in Whittington’s “Political Foundations of Judicial Supremacy,” and your opinion as to the validity, strengths, or weaknesses of the arguments presented. It is important that your paper is coherent, uses correct grammar, punctuation and spelling, and expresses your own conclusions and points of view. Your grade will be based on the quality of your writing, and its completeness in considering Whittington’s main conclusions and arguments. You should carefully cite any writings that are not your own. Your paper will be scanned for plagiarism.

Your grade will be based on the quality of your writing, and its completeness in considering the assigned chapters from “Judicial Supremacy.” You should consider at least the following questions:

HRM326 Apply Training Evaluation

THIS IS A TEAM ASSIGNMENT, AS A LEAD I AM TO WRITE THE THESIS, INTRODUCTION, CONCLUSION, ALSO COMPLETE LEVEL 1 OF THE KIRKPATRICK MODEL TRAINING. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I MUST CREATE A LEVEL ONE EVALUATION FORM.

OUR TEAM TOPIC IS SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING

Training evaluations are important to determine if the selected training solution was effective and provided the appropriate return on investment.

Discuss as a team the last training program you attended (at work, school, other).

Select one of your team members’ experiences and design a training evaluation form.

Write a 525- to 700-word description of the training program selected by the team.

Provide an explanation of how you would evaluate the training program. The Kirkpatrick Model for the Effectiveness of Training is to be used for the evaluation. There are details on the model below and on the discussion thread,

Steps of Kirkpatrick Model

There are four levels to Kirkpatrick’s Model that look at training effectiveness in different time frames and areas.

Level one – (this is the level you should focus on the most in the week three assignment). This level is done immediately after the conclusion of training and measures the immediate reaction of participants at the conclusion of the training. This is most often done with a survey or interview and should cover the if the learning objectives were met, the learning environment, the instructors performance, the delivery methods used and the content of the course. The survey or interview will give the designer or instructor an opportunity to make quick course adjustments.

Level two – is used to determine if learning occurred during the course. In other words do the participants know or can do more after the course than they could do before? This can be done with a pre and post assessment which should be the same instrument. The pre assessment measures what KSA’s the participants came into the course already having developed. The post assessment measure what they know after the course is completed. The goal is to compare the pre to the post assessment and see progress has been made in the participants KSA’s.

Level three – this step measures if learning is transferred from the training environment and applied in the work place. Training is only effective if it is applied. This is done around two months after the training is completed by observation, a survey or interview. Data can also help in this step.

Level four – The Return on the Investment. This step is done by converting the costs of doing training and the savings or benefits realized from the training. The costs of doing training are compared to the outcomes to determine if the ROI is positive or negative.

All levels must be covered in the assignment.

Include what you are specifically measuring, the time frame, a description of the evaluation form, and how it will appropriately measure the training solution.

Create a one-page training evaluation form that includes questions on all aspects to be measured – learning environment, instructor performance and learning objectives met.

Cite any sources according to APA formatting guidelines.

 

(The professor messaged this to us, hope it helps)

Start the paper with an opening paragraph that includes a thesis – what the paper will be about. Then describe the training activity that will be evaluated including the learning objectives for the course.

Then evaluate the course by covering all four levels of the Kirkpatrick Model.

Level 1 – immediate reaction to the training by participants

Level 2 – did learning occur by the participants

Level 3 – did what was learned transfer to the work place

Level 4 – measure the return on the investment for doing the training

Final step is to create a level one evaluation form that measures the following areas for effectiveness- were the learning objectives met – Instructor performance – learning environment effectiveness:

Use open ended questions and leave space for participant comments.

Two references are required and must be listed at the end of the paper and in the body of the paper where used.

The bold letters is what I am to work on which is the thesis, introduction to the training activity that will be evaluated, level one of the Kirkpatrick Model, the conclusion and the level one evaluation form. Thank you
