This course will illustrate the ways in which the practice of management evolves as firms grow in size. Historically, middle managers have served as so-called ŇgatekeepersÓ who collect, analyze, and pass information up and down the management chain within an organization. But two recent developments at the turn of the 21st century Đ namely, low-cost data manipulation in computers and the emergence of widespread, real-time communication (in the forms of inexpensive, long-distance global calling, email, text messaging, and social media) Đ have reduced the need for these middle-manager gatekeepers, and companies have eliminated thousands of such positions. The goal? To speed the flow of information and decision-making and reduce the number of layers that separate the customer from the leadership of an organization.

As teachers, we often put our students' needs before our own. However, it is important to prioritize our mental wellness to be our best selves both in and out of the classroom. In this activity, we will explore the concept of mental wellness, learn practical strategies to manage stress and maintain a healthy work-life balance, and reflect on how we can prioritize our mental wellness moving forward.

These syllabi outline training required for students to earn the FAA Private Pilot Certificate. Flight lessons include ground reference maneuvers, performance maneuvers, navigation, Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM), and safety practices and procedures. Ground lessons subjects included are aerodynamics, aircraft systems, weather and it’s associated hazards, preflight planning, and risk management. These syllabi were designed to be used together to best prepare students for the FAA practical and written exams.

This is a Problem-Based Learning lesson. Problem-based learning is meant to provide students with real-world problems that more closely mirror what they would experience in an actual situation. There are many benefits of PBL such as, decision-making, team-based skills, and self-directed learning. With this type of learning, there is not only one correct answer nor is there a single solution path. The end result should be that these real life experiences will show deep, meaningful learning.

This is an introdutory lesson to computer science combinded with a 3-part project, students will prepare for programming by practicing the problem-solving steps. They will select a problem that they are dealing with at home, at school, or a problem in the community. They will then research and gather data to help them find a step by step plan to solve the problem.      Lesson Includes: Activity, Pre-Post Survey, 3-part project and rubric 

Problem Solver asks students to demonstrate their argumentative skills when identifying problems and solutions in writing.

A flow chart can be a useful tool in problem solving. You can see at a glance how your decisions and actions affect the outcome of your problem solving process. This lesson will help you learn the symbols and steps for writing a flowchart. 

For this 3-part project, students will prepare for programming by practicing the problem-solving steps. They will select a problem that they are dealing with at home, at school, or a problem in the community. They will then research and gather data to help them find a step by step plan to solve the problem. 

Process-oriented assessment centers on evaluating the methods, strategies, and steps individuals use to accomplish a task or reach an outcome. Unlike product-based assessment, the emphasis is placed on understanding the decision-making processes, problem-solving approaches, and steps taken during the task. This assessment method values critical thinking, information analysis, and adaptability when faced with challenges, providing a comprehensive view of an individual's skills and competencies.Process-Oriented_Based_Authentic_Assessment.docx

Process-oriented assessment places emphasis on evaluating an individual's approach, strategies, and decision-making processes rather than solely focusing on the final product. It involves observing and analyzing how individuals navigate through tasks, solve problems, and interact with others. This approach provides insights into an individual's critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, collaboration skills, and adaptability.

Underestimating project complexity is widely accepted as one of the major causes of project failure. Based on international benchmarking activities (Merrow, 2010), we know that an average of 40% of projects do not deliver what they promised; for megaprojects in the oil and gas industry this figure is even worse (Ernst&Young, 2014).

As with most external factors, many of the causes and consequences of complexity are difficult to avoid or control. When dealing with complexity, standard practices in the field of project management often overlook the inherent uncertainties linked to the length and scale of engineering and infrastructure projects and their constantly changing environments. The situation is exacerbated by rapidly evolving technologies and social change.

Attempts to overcome these challenges by simply trying to reduce their causes is not enough.

In this course, you will learn our approach to mastering complexity, focused on front-end development and teamwork, which will help you develop the skills you need to make timely actions in order to tackle complexities and improve your chances of project success. You will learn how to enhance your own capacities and capabilities by ensuring you have the necessary balance of complementary skills in your team.

Project success starts with recognizing the main drivers of complexity, which can be highly subjective and highly dynamic. In this course, you will learn to identify what makes a project complex and how to perform a complexity assessment.

Examining the elements of a project (such as interfaces, stakeholders, cultures, environment, technology, etc.) and their intricate interactions is key to mastering complexity.

You will analyze these elements in the context of your own project. Then, based on our complexity framework, you will identify the complexity footprint of your project and use it to adapt your management processes. With personalized guidance and feedback from our world-class instructors, you will learn how to recognize what competencies you need to develop and how to adapt your management style accordingly, not only to improve project performance but also to enhance your decision-making capacity.
