Take a picture of yourself somewhere inside JPL, and add it to a 2-page report, single spaced, font 12 pts. Times New Roman, and 1 inch margins. Your report should contain a discussion of how any aspect of what you learned in your visit(s) connects to any class material (Ch. 1 thru 14) covered. Tell me what you learned and how it connects to class. In other words, describe a specific space mission, project, or instrument and describe how the technology, science, or engineering connects to the material in our class. Be very specific for full credit. Consider this a technical research project; basic equations are helpful and expected.

please search online about the place. because obviously you can’t attend physically there.

follow the instructions carefully please!

This is the almost the same prompt as #7 on Whiplash, but for this we will analyze the use of sound in the film.

Analyze any scene from the film with regard to elements of sound and their contribution to the conflict, story, themes of the film. It is ok to analyze the same scene that you did for editing discontinuity in prompt 7. If possible, if you see many of the same scenes in this film already analyzed in the thread please choose another, so we have a variety of response, thought.

Please incorporate sound terminology from your text as it applies (you do not need to use every term listed below) to your analysis (see chapter 9):

Fidelity sounds unfaithful to source

Ambience

Simultaneous, non-simultaneous sound

External vs internal sound

Asynchronous sound

Pitch, loudness, quality

Non-diegetic sound

Narration

Dialogue

Sound effects

Score

Silence

Ideas about sound point of view – including sound source, sound that thwarts visual expectation, incongruous sound

Rhythm of sound

Overlapping sound

Thematic sound

Summarize three of Covey’s habits in your own words and give examples of how these habits would apply to project management. Document your ideas in a short paper, and include at least two references.

Project managers can use Stephen Covey’s seven habits of highly effective people to help themselves and project teams become more effective. The seven habits include being proactive; beginning with the end in mind; putting first things first; thinking win/win; seeking first to understand, then to be understood; achieving synergy; and sharpening the saw. Using empathic listening is a key skill of good project managers. Developing the human resource plan involves identifying, assigning, and documenting project roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships. A responsibility assignment matrix (RAM), staffing management plans, resource histograms, and RACI charts are key tools for defining roles and responsibilities on projects. The main output is a human resource plan. Acquiring the project team means assigning the appropriate staff to work on the project. This is an important issue in today’s competitive environment. Companies must use innovative approaches to find and retain good IT staff.
Resource loading shows the amount of individual resources that an existing schedule requires during specific time frames. Histograms show resource loading and identify over allocation of resources. Resource leveling is a technique for resolving resource conflicts, such as over allocated resources, by delaying tasks. Leveled resources require less management, lower costs, produce fewer personnel and accounting problems, and often improve morale. Two crucial skills of a good project manager are team development and team management. Teamwork helps people work more effectively to achieve project goals. Project managers can recommend individual training to improve skills related to teamwork, organize team-building activities for the entire project team and key stakeholders, and provide reward and recognition systems that encourage teamwork. Project managers can use several tools and techniques, including observation and conversation, project performance appraisals, interpersonal skills, and conflict management, to effectively manage their teams. There are several conflict-handling modes, and they can be viewed based on two dimensions: task importance and relationship importance. Spreadsheets and project management software such as Microsoft Project 2010 can help project managers in project human resource management. Software makes it easy to produce responsibility assignment matrixes, create resource histograms, identify overallocated resources, level resources, and provide various views and reports related to project human resource management. Project human resource management involves much more than using software to facilitate organizational planning and assign resources. What makes good project managers great is their
