Each assignment will be worth 25 points, for a total of 375 points.

Assignment Instructions

Week 6 Assignment: Variables, IF/THEN/ELSE, Loops 

Instructions:

You will complete this assignment in Python 3.x. Make sure you have downloaded the software and it is installed correctly. You will download it from this site: https://www.python.org/downloads/.

You will code the following and submit it in one file. Use the information in the Lessons area for this week to assist you. Save it as a python file (.py), and upload it into the Assignments area.

1. Include comment block on line1 of your code with the following information:

“”

“””
    Your Name
    Course Name, Section (example: ENTD200 B002 Spr18)
    Instructor name
    Week  #
    Date completed
“””

2.    Create  2 Python programs  based on week 5 flowcharts and requirements. You must use loops, do not use function call
Here is a SAMPLE  run for a simple calculator to add to numbers (this is for reference only)

Simple Calculator

What is your name –> Supa

Enter first number –> 7

Enter second number –> 5

Total of  7.0 + 5.0 = 12.0

Supa do you want another calculation ? (y/n) y

Enter first number –> 21

Enter second number –> 11

Total of  21.0 + 11.0 = 32.0

Supa do you want another calculation ? (y/n) n

Thanks for using my calculator

coursework

Pink builds a case and comes up with some interesting insights about the value of intrinsic motivation. He argues that  ROWE is important as it raises the idea that goals must be achieved through people and leadership that relies heavily on intrinsic rewards to motivate employees.

However, some scholars claim that ROWE cannot be optimal without the presence of trust and  effective F2F communication.

Here is one example:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/disadvantages-resultsoriented-work-environment-32141.html

Thoughts?

Do you think that extrinsic motivation is becoming less important in organizations?

Shifting away from the binary  either/or approaches (intrinsic vs extrinsic): Can you build a case in favor of both/and approaches such as  SITUATIONAL MOTIVATION? (Review Belasen & Belasen, 2017, Motivational Gaps).

CHAPTER 5: Managing and Organizing Business: Discussion

CHAPTER 5: Managing and Organizing Business: Discussion

There will be a discussion question or topic based on the “Chapter Questions” located at the end of each chapter. Please pick one and develop a line of thought to discuss.

The discussion question are open at the course beginning and close on the due date and time. No late work will be accepted. You can earn 25 points a week by participating in the discussion board. You will be graded on the quality of your responses, answers or questions, not merely on the fact that you participated. Please apply the Critical Thinking rubric to your work. Your posting must be Substantive:

– Providing a new thought, idea or perspective
– Citing and experience or example of what we are learning
– Adding a new twist on a perspective
– Critically thinking about an idea/concept
– Questioning or challenging a principle or perspective

I do NOT consider these types of comments to be substantive

– Very basic comment such as I agree or I disagree
– Simply restating what has already been said unless there is a direct purpose in doing so
– Disrespectfully disagreeing
– Pat answers that are not thought provoking
– Use of unedited dictation software comments

To receive the 25 points, you must do two things, First, reply to the posted question worth up to 5 points, and Second, reply to at least two (2) of your classmates responses worth up to10 points each. The discussion board is meant to take the place of the normal in-class discussion that you have in a traditional class structure. Each posting and reply should consist of a complete paragraph of a minimum of five sentences. I will be using a rubric for grading of discussion boards so please expect some changes to the syllabus as the semester progresses.
