Does the program have comprehensive course outlines, syllabi, teaching guides, texts?

/in /by

Your evaluation will provide the Educational Approval Program (EAP) with advice about the program. Because program quality is key to the EAP approval process, we ask you to be thorough and detailed in your written evaluation. To prepare your report, please provide a written response to each of the following questions on a separate sheet referencing the question number. Do not simply answer “yes” or “no,” but provide your reasoning why the program materials do or do not meet quality standards. You may make comments and suggestions beyond merely answering the twelve questions if you think that such information/insight will help the EAP make an informed judgment concerning this program’s viability and quality.

Mission

1] competencies, learner outcomes and performance standards;

2] learning activities (how competencies/outcomes will be met);

3] available resources; and,

4] assessment methods to evaluate achievement of competencies/outcomes?

Performance Evaluation

7. Are performance standards clearly stated and are evaluation methods such as written and practical hands-on tests, classroom observations, etc., used to assess knowledge and skills for the student?

8. Are students given regular feedback on their knowledge, skills and progress?

Resources

9. Are educational resources such as supplies, textbooks, manuals, computers, software, and individual aids accessible, sufficient, relevant, current and unbiased?

11. Are equipment and tools provided for the program adequate and relevant to training needs?

Recommendation

12. Would you recommend approval of the program as currently presented? If not, what changes must be made?

  • just answer the questions in the description box using the school catalog and syllabus. Answers can not be yes or no.  YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN
  • I am not sure if you know what the quality standards are for a CDL driver, and I did not include them. So, you may need to do a little minor reading on what it takes to be a CDL driver. FMCSA…..ATA…..

You will also be prepared to take your DMV permit and endorsements tests.

WEEK TWO – UP TO 40 CLOCK HOURS

FIELD TRAINING AND LAB

In the first week of field training and lab, the following will be completed by the student.

Lab

Vehicle Inspection, vehicle systems, fifth wheel, preventative maintenance, recognizing and reporting malfunctions, pre-trip, log books, trip planning, emergency maneuvers, tire chains and load securement.

Range Training

Straight line backing, 90′ backing, shifting up and down, parallel parking, throttle and clutch control, and cornering techniques.

Once you have completed the above training, you should be able to complete vehicle inspection, describe engine controls, recognize malfunctions, complete a log book, perform emergency maneuvers, chain up a vehicle and secure a load, shifting up and down, and locking and unlocking fifth wheel. You will also start to master the following skills: straight line backing, 90′ backing, parallel backing, and cornering techniques.

WEEK THREE – UP TO 40 CLOCK HOURS

FIELD AND LAB

Ø Students will continue on backing skills and measured turns.

Ø Students will become more proficient at shifting, throttle and clutch control, and cornering techniques.

Ø Students will drive in light traffic, pre-trip, in-cab inspections, log books, lane control, and speed/space management.

Objective: For students to become more proficient in the above skills.

WEEK FOUR – UP TO 40 CLOCK HOURS

Ø Pre-trip, log books & ELD, in-cab inspections.

Ø Working on backing skills, measured turns, space management, lane control, entering and exiting freeways, starting on an incline, medium traffic, heavy traffic, and city traffic.

Describe object-oriented modeling, structural modeling, and behavioral modeling.

/in /by

Refer to the functional model you verified and validated for ABS in the Week 4 assignment to complete this assignment.

Based on your performance, ABS management was so satisfied that it wants you to develop both the structural and behavior models. This way, ABS can fully understand both the interaction that would take place between the users and the system, and the system itself in greater detail.

Note: You may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Create Class-Responsibility-Collaboration (CRC) cards and a class diagram based on the functional models through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
  2. Identify each use case in the functional model and create a sequence and communication diagram for each scenario of each use case identified through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
  3. Create a behavioral state machine for each of the complex classes in the class diagram.
  4. Perform a CRUDE analysis to show the interactivity of the objects in the system.
  5. Perform a verification and validation walk-through of each:
    1. Functional model
    2. Structural model
    3. Behavioral model
  6. Revise the requirements document created in Assignment 1 with additional information found in this assignment and document the assumptions.
  7. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
  • Include charts or diagrams created in Visio or Dia. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Describe object-oriented modeling, structural modeling, and behavioral modeling.
  • Develop class diagram based on business scenarios.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in procuring and designing project requirements.
  • Write clearly and concisely about project requirements and design topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style convention

Research and prepare a 4 page report on the top 5 trends in tourism and hospitality industry.

/in /by

Module Projects- The purpose of each project is to provide you with experience in demonstrating knowledge of how the industry works and capacity for knowing how to handle an assignment when you are in your working career. For each assignment your objective is to complete the following three sections:

  1. Report: In this section of your work provide your answer to the project assignment. If it is to select a trip then describe the trip you selected. If it is create a resume then put the resume in this section.
  2. Process: Show your thinking about the steps you took to complete the assignment. For instance what steps did you take to prepare your answer? What sources did you use and how did you arrive at your decision?
  3. Evaluation: Evaluate what you learned and what you will improve on the next time you have an assignment like this one. There could be personal statements starting with I learned, I surprised myself or next time I will definitely.

Module 5- Research and prepare a 4 page report on the top 5 trends in tourism and hospitality industry. You must have three different sources for this report. The industry must constantly reinvent itself to keep people coming into their community and establishment. What trends do you see and why are they important. What do you recommend be the top considerations for your community? Your 4 page report will have three parts- 1. what you determined to be your answer, 2. how you went about your work, and 3. what you would improve next time you have such an assignment. Be sure to write as a report and include notes and references in order to maximize your points. If you have any questions about report writing the librarians are glad to assist.
