    Case Study – Presenting Solutions

    Previously, you employed academic writing to analyze the post-acquisition core values, goals, and organization structure of a company described in a segment of a multi-year integrated case study, and you suggested research needs that result from your interaction with the case. In this assignment, you will use concise business writing to create a presentation of the issues noted and your decisions and rationales for delivery to a C-suite executive in a corporation.

  • discussion post : recognizing and shaping opportunities

    • Recognizing and Shaping Opportunities Applegate and CarlsonBegin to prepare your Main Post (300 words) for next week’s discussion board on this article.
    1. Create your response as a Word document first and run spell check before cutting/pasting/uploading to the discussion site.
    2. Keep postings to the point. Short paragraphs are preferable to long ones. Comments should add to the general knowledge of the issue and should not be limited to agreement or disagreement with other students postings.
    3. Incorporate references from the readings or other scholarly references in your replies; base your discussion points on substance, not opinions.
    4. Furthermore, make sure you include working links to new articles or videos that you bring into the discussion.
    5. Stick to the subject of a particular thread in the discussion.

    When writing your Discussion Issues responses remember I am looking for your ability to think critically at the Masters level. Do not simply parrot back what the authors have said in the assigned reading or your research. Analyze, synthesize and evaluate what you have read into a clear and succinct summary of what the authors have said compared to your own experiences. Of course I want you to use properly formatted text citations and references to support and illustrate your observations and conclusions, but use them sparingly.

  • Essay

    I need a essay that talking about extracurricular activities

  • Motivation interview

    The “spirit” of Motivational Interviewing is brought to life through four specific micro-skills, known by the acronym OARS. These are not just communication tools; they are the “rowing” mechanism that moves a client through the process of change. Let’s put this into practice.

    The Prompt

    Read the following client statement:

    “I know I should probably stop drinking so muchit’s affecting my sleep and Im always late for work. But honestly, its the only way I know how to unwind after a stressful day, and all my friends go to the bar after our shift.”

    Your Task: Provide a response to this client using each of the OARS components. Label your responses clearly:

    1. Open-Ended Question: Craft a question that invites the client to explore their ambivalence further without feeling judged.
    2. Affirmation: Identify a strength or a positive value the client demonstrated in their statement and affirm it.
    3. Reflective Listening: Write a “complex reflection.” Instead of just repeating what they said, try to reflect the underlying feeling or the “change talk” you hear (e.g., “On one hand… but on the other…”).
    4. Summary: Write a brief summary (2-3 sentences) that ties these elements together, ending with a “check-in” question to see if you understood them correctly.

    The Follow-Up Challenge

    After you provide your OARS examples, answer this: Which of these four skills do you find the most difficult to implement, and why? (e.g., Is it hard to avoid “Closed” questions? Is it difficult to find something to affirm?)

    Submission Requirements

    • Initial Post: Due Thursday. Ensure your OARS examples are distinct and labeled.
    • Peer Response: Due Sunday. Review a classmates Reflection. If you were the client, how would that reflection make you feel? Suggest one way to “deepen” their reflection to highlight the clients internal motivation.

    OARS Cheat Sheet for Success

    Quick Reference for SkillsSkillPro-TipExample StartOpen-EndedAvoid “Why” (it can sound accusatory). Use “What” or “How.””What would be different if…”AffirmationMust be genuine. Focus on character or effort, not just “good job.””It takes a lot of self-awareness to notice…”ReflectionTry to make a statement rather than asking a question.”It sounds like you value your job, yet…”SummaryUse “transitional” summaries to move the conversation forward.”Let me see if I have this right…”

    Here is a model response to the client scenario. You can provide this to your students as an “Exemplar” after the discussion closes, or use it as a grading rubric to see if they are hitting the nuances of each skill.

    Client Statement Recap:

    “I know I should probably stop drinking so muchit’s affecting my sleep and Im always late for work. But honestly, its the only way I know how to unwind after a stressful day, and all my friends go to the bar after our shift.”

    Model OARS Response

    1. Open-Ended Question

    “What are some of the things youve noticed about how your work life might change if you had more energy in the mornings?”

    • Why it works: It avoids a “yes/no” answer and directs the client to imagine a positive future (Change Talk) rather than focusing on the “bar.”
    1. Affirmation

    “It takes a lot of honesty and self-awareness to recognize that your current way of unwinding is starting to get in the way of your professional goals.”

    • Why it works: It validates the clients character (honesty) rather than just “approving” of their behavior.
    1. Reflective Listening (Complex Reflection)

    “On one hand, the bar is where you feel connected to your friends and find relief from stress, but on the other hand, youre starting to worry that the cost of that relief is your reliability at work.”

    • Why it works: This is a “double-sided reflection.” It acknowledges the “pros” of the behavior (unwinding) while highlighting the “cons” (work issues) without sounding judgmental.
    1. Summary

    “To make sure Im following you: you value your friendships and need a way to decompress after a hard shift, but youve also noticed that drinking is interfering with your sleep and your performance at a job you care about. Have I missed anything important?”

  • Midterm

    For your mid-term examination, you will be assigned four (4) essay questions, each covering different topics we have reviewed thus far throughout the semester. Please consult the ‘Rubric for Essay Examination Questions’ for the criteria used to grade responses. Each question will require that you thoughtfully consider the issue presented to you, and articulate a cogent answer using appropriate grammar. Though there will be no requirement to gather empirical sources to justify your replies, you are being graded on your ability to analyze carefully the question, and succinctly summarize your answer to it. As such, information used to draft your responses can be culled exclusively from the assigned reading material. On this point, you will need to cite a direct sentence from the required CRJ-5150 textbook in each of your responses to all four questions. After citing that sentence within each essay response, in parentheses immediately next to it, provide the precise page number, line number, and paragraph number, along with the location of this sentence on the page in the book. Use this direct quotation from the book to supplement your essay responses. Individual essay questions are valued at 25 points, to comprise 100 total for the entire examination. Every essay response should range between 300 and 350 words in length. This is a strictly enforced maximum word count. Every word over will result in a point deduction.
