reliable underwriters /HR management class
Please read the case and answer the questions at the end. Please respond to two of your peers. Do you agree or disagree?
Reliable Underwriters is a risk management firm that provides insurance services to large organizations. Part of its operation is a claims-processing center that employs 156 clerical workers. These workers interact with clients to answer questions and provide information about the status of claims. Reliable has a corporate objective of obtaining the highest possible customer satisfaction ratings. However, recent customer satisfaction surveys suggest that some of the clerical workers are not adequately meeting clients’ needs.
As part of an initiative to increase customer satisfaction, the management team of the claims processing center has decided to change the performance appraisal process. In the past, ratings have been made on a 5-point scale. A score of 5 represented outstanding performance, a score of 1 represented unacceptable performance, and a score of 3 represented average performance. Last year, 135 employees received a score of 4. Only 3 received a score of 5, and only 2 received the lowest rating. Since almost everyone receives the same rating, employees in the claims-processing center have little concern about being evaluated. For the most part, they see performance appraisal simply as a nuisance. However, the newly proposed process will create major changes.
The main change will be the use of forced distribution. Each supervisor must rate at least 20 percent of employees as outstanding and at least 10 percent as unacceptable. This forced distribution is expected to clearly identify top performers. Low performers will also be identified and encouraged to either improve or seek employment elsewhere.
Questions:
Do you predict that the forced distribution will increase customer satisfaction? Why or why not?
Which clerical workers do you think will most strongly oppose the change?
How do you think supervisors will react to the proposed change?
What problems with contamination and deficiency could occur with the forced distribution ratings?
Appraisal of Jean Watson’s Human Caring theory
Assignment Direcctions:
Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring is a conceptual thread in the curriculum framework. The purpose of this assignment is to offer students the opportunity to be exposed to Human Caring Science while providing students with the skills of critical appraisal of evidence.
1. Students will select one nursing research article that focuses on a study that used Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring as a theoretical framework.
2. Students should use as a guide, an appropriate Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklist found in Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt (2019; pp. 708-722).
3. The critiques are to be informal, although correct grammar, spelling, etc., are expected. The critique should include a brief description of the study that was reviewed and should address elements of the study relevant to critique.
4. Students will provide a written critique on a critical appraisal of the elements relevant to the nature of the research study such as type of study, design, quality of the study; and rationale, as well as implications for practice and further research and/or evaluation.
The grade will be based on accuracy, level of content and structure of the document.

What was the most important information you learned during these last two weeks and why?
What was the most important information you learned during these last two weeks and why? How did this information conflict with or complement what you already knew? How do you plan to apply this learning? (Do not summarize the instructional topics; instead, dig deep and be specific about what you learned and why that matters.)
To what extent did the example narrative arguments help you to better understand narrative argument strategies and organizational approaches, and the narrative argument as a genre? What specifically did you learn from these readings? What are some specific ways that you will apply what you learned to your own narrative argument writing work and why?
Refer to the Narrative Argument Strategies and Organization instructional page and review the language noticing part of the lesson. Identify at least three language moves that you observed in the assigned reading this week. First, list and describe these moves, and then, for each of the moves, explain:
the effect of that choice on the target audience (Tip: to determine this, it might help to think about what an alternative to that specific move might be and how that would be experienced by the reader differently).
how this language move differs from how you’re used to writing (e.g. you’re used to writing five paragraph essays, but this one has 15 very short paragraphs, or you’re used to having an introduction with a clear thesis statement, but this introduction just places the reader in a scene, etc.)
What work have you done (or do you plan to do) outside of the Discussion Board assignments to make progress on your narrative argument? What skills do you need to further develop to complete this work?
Describe the developmental markers a nurse should assess for a 9-month-old female infant.

twelfth night
Assignment scenario: You are an aspiring theater director who has been invited to attend 12N 21(twelfth night for 21st century), a convention that asks participants to develop ideas for new productions of Twelfth Night. The sponsors are seeking fresh, innovative, concept-rich interpretations that reflect the spirit and interests of your generation and expand the cultural horizons and intended audiences of Shakespeare. You may want to think about cultural origin and identity, migration and immigration, sexual and gender politics, musical genres, social and narrative media trends, and more. You will be using your deep knowledge of Shakespeare’s play (gained from attending lectures and reading the play with care) to make smart and surprising connections between his world and yours. You will develop an idea designed to appeal to your campus, community, sub-culture, generation, or interest group.
Contemporary directors are very creative with this drama. It has been set in colonial India (Links to an external site.), in and around an urban gay subculture, in a modern Mediterranean country visited by African refugees (Links to an external site.), in post-WWI England (Links to an external site.), and many more. Is there a city, neighborhood, subculture, media platform, or cultural locale whose concerns and customs you would like to explore and share in a production of Twelfth Night? Latino Los Angeles? Anime Japan? Ancient China? Mediterranean pirates? The roaring 20s? A favorite video game? You get to share your world and interests through this assignment.
DIRECTIONS
Your project should consist of 7-10 slides. 4-5 slides will be formatted with an image on the left and a paragraph on the right. (If your image is landscape orientation, you can put the image on one slide, followed by the paragraph on the next slide.) Use Google Slides that can be uploaded to Canvas. Images can be images found online, images you create yourself, or a mixture of the two!

Explain why Ryle believes there is a fundamental difference between “knowing how” and “knowing that” using an example.
Clearly and concisely answer all of the following questions.
Each answer must use absolutely no more than a half, double-spaced
typed page. (Use 12 point Times New Roman with one-inch margins,
header, and footer). You will not receive credit for any part of your
answer that exceeds this space restriction.
You may simply answer the question (citing the question
number) without rephrasing it or formulating a thesis statement.
1. Explain why Ryle believes there is a fundamental difference
between “knowing how” and “knowing that” using an example.
2. Explain and illustrate Plato’s distinction between a “knack” and
a “craft.”
3. Calicles claims that “the superior should take by force what
belongs to the inferior, that the better should rule the worse and
the more worthy have a greater share than the less worthy….”
What is Socrates’s argument that the “superior” should not do
this? Be sure to state Socrates’s position and formulate at least
one of his arguments.
4. How might philosophy make a person just according to Plato?
Why is philosophy insufficient according to Aristotle?
5. State “experientialism” about what makes someone’s life go
better. In light of James’s discussion of “flow,” give reasons why
Nozick’s experience machine does or does not present a
successful counter-example to this view.
6. In light of Parfit’s discussion, distinguish between
experientialism, objective list theories, and desire-based views
of the quality of life using an example.
7. Present a counter-example to Kant’s “categorical imperative”
that one should only act in ways that one could will as a
universal law.

choose our selves. Give a reason why one or the other view
seems more likely to be correct.
9. State one way that Sartre agrees with Kant, and one way Sartre
disagrees with Kant.

of her bodily sense of space and yet not her “feminine essence”?
12. Explain the “affective revolution” in psychology and
Railton’s objection to it.
13. Why according to Anderson is the modern workplace by
and large an authoritarian dictatorship? Why would an
“egalitarian” object to this? Why would a “republican” object to
this?
14. Why according to Crawford is work degraded or made less
meaningful when the intuitive judgments of practitioners are
replaced by mere rule following (as by a machine or in an
assembly line).
15. Why according to James should we cutback the
workweek? Is he correct? Why or why not.
16. Why according to Suits is it impossible to win a game if
you cheat?
