Your essay should be typed, double-spaced (Times, 12-font) and at least 5 pages. You may go over 5 pages.

  • Information Interviewee Summary

    You may think you already know all about a certain company or role, but speaking to someone directly gives you the opportunity to test your assumptions.- John Lee, The Success Code

    An informational interview is a networking tool to learn about specific organizations or roles from someone with firsthand experience. The goal is to gain insights and potentially receive guidance for your own career exploration. However, these interviews are NOT a format for job applications or referrals for jobs. The agenda should be designed around asking the interviewee about the interviewee’s career path, organization or role. Typical questions include:

    1. Tell me how you became interested in this organization? What do you value most about working with your employer?

    2. How did you get started in your career? What skills or experiences have been most helpful for you in your career?

    This assignment requires you to schedule, plan and conduct an informational interview with a professional who works in an organization you are most interested in working with or for within the next 2-3 years. This is the first of two deliverables.

    Submit a two-page summary of who the interviewee is, how you were able to make contact and 3-4 key questions items you plan to cover during your meeting. Since this course is focused on organizational behavior, be sure to ask (some) questions about culture and the employee experience. The interviewee’s LinkedIn profile link and the date and time of your (virtual) interview must be included. This assignment is worth 8% of the final grade in a graduate level course. The format, content and depth of the submission should reflect the importance of the assignment.

    Although it may be interesting to discuss these topics with family members and/or to interview other current (or recent) students, no points will be awarded for these interviews.

    Requirements: 2 page

    report should be between 1000 2000 words and should include no less that 10 scientific papers (journal articles, conference proceedings, books, etc.). This assignment will be graded on how well you present an argument and how much you can support this argument through class material and research.

    P.s: Your references must be properly cited within the text body of your paper.

    Purpose

    In real-world analytics projects, analysts rarely begin with clean, well-documented datasets. Instead, they must first understand what data exists, how it is structured, and what level of detail it contains before any analysis can occur.

    The purpose of this assignment is to practice creating a data inventory for real organizational reports related to fundraising activities. This process will help you determine what questions the data can reasonably support and what limitations exist prior to analysis.

    Data for This Assignment

    You are provided with fundraising reports for three years (20232025).
    Each year includes two Excel files related to fundraising activity.

    For this assignment, you will:

    • Complete a detailed data inventory for the 2023 fundraising files
    • Perform a structural check for the 2024 and 2025 files to confirm whether the same structure is present

    No calculations, visualizations, or statistical analysis are required.

    Part A: Data Inventory (2023 Fundraising Files)

    (6 points)

    Using the 2023 fundraising files only, complete a data inventory for each Excel file.

    For each file, document the following:

    File Information

    • File name.
    • Number of worksheets (tabs).

    Worksheet (Tab) Inventory

    For each tab in the file, record:

    • Tab name.
    • Brief description of what the tab appears to contain.
    • Level of data:
      • Granular (for example, individual players, transactions, dates), or
      • Aggregated (for example, summaries by category, totals, grouped data).
    • Number of rows.
    • Number of columns.

    You may present this information using a table or clearly organized bullet points.

    File-Level Reflection (Answer in complete sentences)

    For each 2023 fundraising file, answer:

    1. What types of questions might this file help answer?
    2. What types of questions would be difficult or impossible to answer using only this file?

    Part B: Structural Consistency Check (20242025)

    (4 points)

    Next, review the 2024 and 2025 fundraising files.

    You do not need to repeat the full data inventory for these years.

    Instead, answer the following questions:

    1. Do the 2024 and 2025 files appear to follow the same structure as the 2023 files?
      (Consider file types, tab names, units of analysis, and aggregation level.)
    2. Note any meaningful differences you observe, such as:
      • Additional or missing tabs
      • Changes in variable names
      • Differences in aggregation
      • New or missing types of information
    3. Briefly describe one potential challenge these differences could create if you were combining data across years.

    Submission Instructions

    • Submit a single document (Word) to this assignment link.
    • Organize your work clearly with headings for:
      • Part A: 2023 Data Inventory
      • Part B: 20242025 Structural Check
    • This assignment focuses on organization, clarity, and thoughtful observation, not technical analysis.

  • Discussion Thread: Points of Failure

    There are many points of failure that can affect the operation of a computer. A computer could fail due to overheating, loose cards, or even battery failure. There are also points in our lives where we seem to fail to obey Gods commands and teachings. Adam and Eve were the very first people to fail God by not obeying His commands and by eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. God could not stand to look at the sin that Adam and Eve committed, so He turned away. However, God made a way for us to overcome our sinful nature through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    There are many times in our lives when we have failed God. Describe what it means to fail God. Then, using references from the Bible, explain how God deals with us when we fail Him.

    Advertising in the Modern World: A Story, Strategies, and Practical Tips

    A Story of Change in Modern Advertising

    In the past, advertising was simple. Brands spoke, and people listened. Billboards were loud, television commercials were repetitive, and newspaper ads focused on promotions and catchy slogans. Attention could be bought with money. Today, that world no longer exists.

    Consider the story of a growing fashion brand in the digital age. At the beginning, they invested heavily in online ads, pushing discounts and limited offers. The visuals were perfect, the copy was persuasive, yet the results were disappointing. People skipped the ads, blocked them, or scrolled past without a second thought.

    Then the brand changed its mindset. Instead of asking, How do we sell more? they asked, How do we connect? They began sharing stories about their production process, ethical sourcing, and the real people behind the brand. They featured customers, not models. They showed mistakes, lessons, and growth. Slowly, engagement increased. Sales followed naturally.

    This shift reflects the reality of advertising today: people no longer want to be persuaded; they want to be understood.
