Communication 2

“Making it Work”

  1. Discuss your experience with creating a presentation recording. How is the preparation process going and what obstacles have you faced? What questions do you have about the process that your peers may be able to help solve?
  2. Find a helpful tip about recording audio or video and share that here (with proper credit a link to the source will be fine).

Business 2

Social Media and the Workplace”
  Please respond to the following:

  • When a candidate for a job sends a resume to a business, one of the first actions taken by HR is to check the candidate’s social media.  There, in the candidate’s social media, HR professionals look for reasons not to interview or hire the candidate.  Employers also occasionally check the social media of their employees to make sure the employees are not sharing corporate secrets or disparaging the corporation and its leaders.  How do you feel about this common practice?  Should the government stop this?  
  • What is the best way to protect your career from being damaged by social media?

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of the property. In these and other cases, data not only help solve problems but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.

Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.

In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation

Quality of Academic Survey Research

The purpose of this discussion is to gain a deeper understanding of the function and utility of surveys as a viable research method. For this discussion, use your research skills to locate a research article in an academic journal that presents survey data on a criminology/criminal justice-related topic and address the following in your main post:

Explain the sampling design, manner of administration, response rate, and a number of surveys completed for the survey selected based on the information presented in the Methods section of the article selected.
Analyze the key findings of the study, as stated in the abstract (or in the absence of the abstract, in the findings section of the article), in the context of the study’s problem statement.
Explore the generalizability of the findings based on the survey.
Determine whether there are any potential problems for generalizability based on response rates for each survey.
