Discussion Question 3
Early theory development was triggered by research related to
questions about the practice of nurses educated in different programs
for entry into the profession. Study revolved around the question of
whether different educational requirements should exist for the
various levels of basic preparation due to differences in nursing
practice that were the result of these levels of preparation. What is
your opinion about the practice issue? Does educational preparation at
the diploma, associate, or baccalaureate level result in differences
in practice?

A Comprehensive Business Reporting Model: Financial Reporting for Investors“ published by the CFA Institute, Centre for Financial Market Integrity

critical review and evaluation of a report

 

Carefully read the 2007 report “A Comprehensive Business Reporting Model: Financial Reporting for Investors“ published by the CFA Institute, Centre for Financial Market Integrity

Required:

Write a critical review and evaluation of the above report. In preparing you review a number of issues could be considered and as you progress through this module these issues will come up over and over. But with a limited world count (1200-1300) you have to be selective in what you write so it is imperative that you hone in on issues of real relevance.

Ask yourself, does this report matter, and has it resulted in any new regulation or new approaches to published accounting information?

OR is this simply a report aimed at how analysis carry out their role in translating published information into a more user friendly set of financial data (ratios etc.)

Has it had an impact on views on risk?

The report was published at approximately the same time that the current financial crisis is deemed to have begun. What has this done to the proposals here?

What about intangibles, are we accounting for these differently?

When talking about financial statements of the “highest quality” does this report use or link to any of the accounting research in the “quality” debate as measured and discussed on this module and in the work of Penman, Barth etc. (Penman, S. 2007, Barth, M.), (W. Landsman, and M. Lang. 2008)

Has this report been used, or influenced, the IFAC or the FASB or even their joint projects. Has it had an impact? THAT IS THE QUESTION

An assignment that requires you to do a program evaluation after identifying what the program evaluator would want to measure

 

Order Description
Course Text:Monette, D., Sullivan, T. & DeJong, C. (2011). Applied social research (8th ed.). Cengage. ISBN: 9780840032058.
we read that evaluation research is different from basic research in that evaluation research is based on reality factors in the field and can answer the question: Is this program achieving its goals within the cost estimates? In this written assignment you will create an example of a program description, identify the parts, and how one would carry out a program evaluation. Identify the steps and what the program evaluator would want to measure / evaluate. Because you have not carried out an actual program evaluation, you will be doing a hypothetical evaluation. Your fictional program evaluation deals with the design, not the actual evaluation, which would include gathering data and so forth. An example of a program evaluation and the research format is given in the Evaluation Strategies for Human Service Programs. Your example can be of any of the typical health and services areas including: hospitals, nursing homes, clinic for substance abuse, counseling clinics, Salvation Army, Red Cross, homes for the homeless, special school programs, crisis centers and social support. Program evaluation can include a variety of different research approaches and could acquire a great deal of data. As you view the PowerPoint presentation keep in mind the information requirements to carry out a program evaluation. Certainly the connections among program outcomes, the activities of the program, and consequential outcomes constitute the key model of any program evaluation.

Finance will be provided to established and proven Not for Profit housing managers to develop and manage a national portfolio of affordable rental medium density housing in inner and middle ring suburban locations in Australian capital cities for a fixed term of ten years.
Our investment model is built upon:
�Sustainable triple bottom line principles.
�Secure income from Federal and State Government employed tenants.
�Stable long term investments with a low risk and moderate returns.
�Indexed income cash flow from the date of investment provides a constant real income yield.

Evaluation paper on my attitude towards alternative merchandising establishments including Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart and Costco

Multiattribute Theory of Wal-Mart

Using the Fishbein Model described in Chapter 7 (pp. 265-267) of your textbook, set up a hypothetical spreadsheet of rows (10) personal attributes and columns of beliefs about alternative merchandising establishments, including Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart, JC Penny, Sears, Costco and one other similar competitor of your choice. A suggested spreadsheet is attached for your use. Consider the relative personal importance of each attribute to you and insert a column of importance weights in column C. Score each belief about the establishments on a scale from 1-10 and compute a multiattribute index following the procedure outlined in the textbook. Do your scored attitudes about the establishments correlate to your purchasing behavior? Assess why or why not

Designing and Preparing to Implement an Evaluation

Designing and Preparing to Implement an Evaluation

Using the text material from Russ-Eft and Preskill (2001) create a document reflecting an evaluation plan for a program of your choice that impacts learning, performance, and change interventions. You are instructed to utilize an imaginary workplace training program and follow-up evaluation regarding the program and learner outcomes for a population of 950 diverse employees. Please use the following information about the population: 50 employees are upper level managers, 150 are supervisors, and 750 are hourly workers. Refer to page 131 and 133 of Russ-Eft and Preskill (2001) for examples that will help you develop your imaginary scenario. . Please ensure that you address each of the following criteria shown below within a single-spaced document, including your cover page.  Paper length for undergraduates is six to seven pages; eight to ten pages for graduate students. When appropriate, cite scholarly sources to substantiate your writing. List each of the sources in a reference list at the end of the last text material in your paper.

Focus the evaluation (chapter 5)
1.    Develop an evaluation plan for a program utilized to improve learner performance.
2.    Develop the evaluation’s rationale and purpose.
3.    Identify the evaluation’s stakeholders.
4.    Develop key evaluation questions that focus on the allocation of resources.
Choose an evaluation design (chapter 6)
1.    If possible, select an evaluation design that utilizes both quantitative and qualitative data.
2.    Describe how you will ensure internal and external validity. This item will require several paragraphs.
?    Choose a data collection method (chapter 7)
1.    Describe the data collection methods that you considered or proposed in your plan and offer rationale for the method(s) you selected.
2.    Offer an explanation for other data collection methods that you considered but did not utilize.
3.    Remember, it is often appropriate and highly recommended that evaluators utilize multiple methods to collect data for an evaluation. See the possibilities in chapters 8-10 shown below:
a.    Observation and archival data (chapter 8).
b.    Surveys and Questionnaires (chapter 9).
c.    Individual and Focus Group Interviews (Chapter 10).
?    Drawing a sample (Chapter 12)
1.    Inform the reader of your Evaluation Plan why you are drawing a sample (if you propose to sample).
2.    Offer rationale for why you drew a random or nonrandom sample or elected not to sample.
3.    Explain your method for selecting either individuals or groups in a sample (if appropriate).
4.    Clarify the desired level of representativeness and the size of the sample for your population (if appropriate).
Analyzing evaluation data (Chapter 13)
1.    Based on your key evaluation questions, and your perception of the level of analytic sophistication of your stakeholders, state your proposed approach for quantitative and qualitative data analysis. In other words, for quantitative data will you use frequencies, percentages, mean, mode, median, and standard deviation or will you utilize a more sophisticated approach to data analysis such as Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Correlations, or perhaps Multiple Regression. For qualitative data analysis will you use “content analysis” or “thematic analysis” or some other method?  Be sure to clarify your method for data analysis in a paragraph or two. Note: you may want to create a table showing how you intend to analyze the data.

Continue to page 2 for the final criterion…

Calculating Estimating/Forecasting return on investment (see examples below).
1.    Describe how you plan to conduct an economic analysis of the learning, performance, and change intervention (the program you selected).  That is, how will you determine the costs of the program versus the net benefits and/or return on investment.

Please note the following example for a three-course sales training program conducted by an external consultant. The development costs for the course were assumed by the consultant.
