Multiple intelligences Research Term Paper

Multiple intelligences

IQ TESTING WAS INTRODUCED TO THE UNITED STATES IN 1916 WHEN LEWIS TERMAN PUBLISHED HIS REVISION OF THE STANFORD-BINET INTELLIGENCE SCALE. THIS WIDELY ACCEPTED ASSESSMENT OF INFORMATION PROCESSING, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND WORKING MEMORY WAS USED FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL COMPETITORS SUCH AS THE WECHSLER SCALES WERE DEVELOPED. LATER, HOWARD GARDNER SUGGESTED THAT INSTEAD OF A SINGLE CONSTRUCT OF INTELLIGENCE, PEOPLE ACTUALLY POSSESSED MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTS OF INTELLIGENCE.

According to Gardner, there are eight ways of determining a person’s dominant intelligence and a person can show great abilities in eight ways: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic.

Click on the assessment link in the Resources to determine your dominant intelligence. Do you agree with the results? If so, how can you use your intelligence most effectively in your life?

Executive Summary of Requisite Skills

This assignment will give you the opportunity to explore what you believe, and based on the course readings, are necessary (requisite) knowledge, skills, abilities, (KSAs) experiences, and techniques needed to effectively lead either a human resources department or one functional area of Human Resources Management (HRM) within a public organization. By functional area I mean one of the segments in the Life-Cycle of an employee as noted in the chapters in Section II of our text (e.g., recruiting, performance management, compensation, benefits, training and development, etc.). This assignment also provides opportunities to link theory with practice, apply what has been learned and/or how the necessary KSAs could be acquired to effectively lead an organization’s human resources department.

I suggest the following process:

Decide if you will focus on the HRM department as a whole, or on an HRM functional area. If focusing on an HRM functional area, decide which area.

Read, and if necessary, re-read the text chapter corresponding to your chosen functional area.

Narrowly focus your selection to avoid the pitfalls of inadequate detail.

Locate at least 5 published references that are no more than 10 years old that pertain to the specific HRM function you have chosen to investigate. You must not use any of the sources used in the Research paper in this course.

OPTIONAL: Conduct an Interview. You may wish to conduct a brief an interview with a manager or HR professional who has extensive experience HRM or the functional area you have selected. I am not requiring you do this; however, if you are able to find someone who is willing to speak with you, this often can be a helpful learning experience.

Paper Format:

Your paper should be at least five (5) pages long, not including the Title Page and Reference/Bibliography

Title Page: must contain the Assignment Number, a Topic, your Name and Student ID Number

Use 12-point font, double-spaced, and one-inch margins on all 4 sides.

Use in-text citations so I can decipher where exactly in your paper you drew upon others work.

Provide complete reference information (author, date, title, publication, volume and page numbers; providing a URL only is insufficient) on a separate sheet.

Create a WORD document that contains complete citation information of all your print and/or electronic source material. To be considered complete, citation information must include author(s), title, date, and publisher plus, if a journal or magazine article, the name of the journal or magazine, volume and issue numbers, and page numbers.

A reference citation containing only a URL is insufficient.

Ambassador talk Analysis Paper Assignment

Ambassador talk Analysis Paper

Analysis papers

There are expected to be six speakers during the course of the semester (5 foreign diplomats and the Diplomat in Residence). Students are STRONGLY encouraged to write all 6 essays with the understanding that the lowest grade will be dropped in calculating the final grade. It is possible that we will have a last minute cancellation of a speaker, and students will not be allowed to make up essays that they neglected to turn in.

These papers are meant to encourage students to think deeply about the information communicated by the visiting consuls general.

Within a week of each consular visit, students must turn in a 2-3 page, single spaced paper in which they analyze some aspect of the diplomat’s talk or responses to audience questions.

Essays should follow the traditional 5 paragraph format, in which a thesis statement is provided in an introductory paragraph, three paragraphs of argument follow, and a concluding paragraph restates the thesis and illustrates how it was supported by the essay. (See Blackboard for information on argumentative essays.)

The topic of analysis should be narrow – one statement/response should be enough to serve as a jumping off point for the essay.

Students may also compare speaker responses in their essays (either compare two responses by the same speaker or compare the response to the same question by different speakers).

These papers are not summaries; rather, they provide the students an opportunity to analyze some aspect of the event, whether the answer to a question, the manner of presentation, the amount of candor shown by the guest, etc.

Students should not simply present their opinions about something. Rather, they should support their statements with arguments and/or justifications, for example, I am convinced that Midwest trade is vital to the economy of X because the consulate devotes two-thirds of its staff toward building economic partnerships with Midwestern companies, the CG to the Midwest is an ambassador while other 3 CsG in the US do not have that rank, and the CG devoted three-quarters of her remarks to the issue of economics.

Students may use concepts learned in the class to support/augment their arguments. They may also consult news accounts, analysis, or opinion pieces that are publicly available. The best analyses are those that incorporate outside information.

All information that is not original work of the student must be cited using Chicago Style citations. A bibliography/works cited is required only if a student cites material from sources other than the class textbook. If only the class textbook is used, a citation is needed but not a bibliography.
