An example of an abstract
Crew Resource Management is an emerging discipline in aviation and has helped to reduce accidents.
The purpose of this paper is to explore CRM in general and to discuss examples of good and bad CRM. For example Al Haynes and his crew in United Airlines 232 showed how a crew working together could land a badly crippled aircraft.
In contrast to that Eastern Airlines Flight 401 showed how distraction, lack of leadership, failed communication and other CRM failures contributed to the fatal crash of the aircraft into the Everglades.
This paper considers these accidents and others to demonstrate the importance of CRM in aviation and concludes with recommendations for the future

Introduction
Approx 100 words.
Describe what you are going to say in the essay, how you will say it and what you intend the reader to know from the essay.
For instance you would introduce CRM and the the accidents you are using as examples to demonstrate the subject.

Body of Essay
For this assignment I recommend you split it into 3 parts:
Part 1 – Describes the emergence of CRM. This can be fairly descriptive but you should be using some references from the literature to illustrate your points. This should be about 300 – 400 words.
Part 2 Give an example of an accident where good CRM has been demonstrated. Dont concnetrate too heavily on details of the accident but spend time analysing the CRM with references from the literature. About 500 – 600 words.
Part 3 – Give an example of an accident where bad CRM has been demonstrated and the resulting effects. Dont concnetrate too heavily on details of the accident but spend time analysing the CRM with references from the literature. About 500 – 600 words.
Discussion/Conclusion
Sum up what you have said in the essay and give your opinion at this stage of the importance of CRM. Add how you think CRM could evolve in the future and how it should be taught to all aviation staff. About 200 words.
Reference list
This should be on a separate (new) page to the rest of the document and each reference should be in alphabetical order. If you look on googlescholar.com you will find under each description a cite button. Second reference is APA style. Press this and it will give you the full reference in APA style for the article.
You may include a Bibliography which is in the same style as the reference list but contains articles or books you have read but not used within the article. This shows a wide range of reading.

Your design of three program evaluation documents. One should be designed using informal methods or strategies for gathering program evaluation data. The other two should be designed using formal methods or strategies for gathering program evaluation data. At least two of the documents should use quantitative measures that require the input of numbers or a graduated scale.

This assignment has two components:
(i) Engaging in a business case: identification of direct and indirect product costs and linking
them to relevant physical activities, and finding a possible solution to a business problem.
(ii) A reflective and theoretical exercise by linking the compulsory reading with the answer in
(i) to move beyond management accounting as a pure technical and calculative matter.
NB: Each question is weighted 50% and has a word limit of 750 words (but excluding pictures,
footnotes, appendices and list of references). In each case, you are asked (i) to engage in
describing and analysing aspects of management via accounting and (ii) to provide an
appropriate form of reflective or critical evaluation on the management via accounting process.
To obtain high marks you need to engage in the descriptive, analytical and reflective/critical
requirements of the question. Please use Harvard referencing style. Also there have to be an in text citations

IMC Project RequirementsThe IMC Project will involve you in developing an integrated marketing communications (IMC) plan for a brand or local company of your choice (if you can’t come up with an idea by the start of November, contact me via email and we can arrange a time to call and discuss current clients that I know).   Select a brand or a company that you feel passionate about. You might select a brand that you believe has an obvious problem that can be helped by an IMC. For example, the brand may be organic but nobody that matters knows this, and because this is a growing market, there may be considerable growth potential that could be realized with a campaign that creates awareness, interest, desire, and gets action. Or you can choose a local company that you feel can do more to promote their product/service using the media communication tools we have covered in class. An IMC plan entails identifying a brand message and then conveying that brand message through a series of touch points that are relevant to the target customer. Please note, this is not a marketing plan or a business plan. The IMC plan focuses on what we traditionally refer to as the “promotion P”, and what we are now viewing as “how the company should communicate the value of the brand to the target audience.” The IMC Plan should identify who the customer is, what the customer wants, where the customer is, and how the company should communicate with the customer in the space they are in, with what message, and through which media. Your final report should be about 10–15 pages, 12 point font, 1 inch margins, and I prefer single spaced paragraphs with double spaces between sections. Use APA format for your references. Keep in mind that you should use a professional writing style in complete sentences. This should be based on business English, and involve the correct use of marketing terminology. Use tables to summarize your information. A report is more likely to be implemented effectively if it is brief, but sufficiently detailed, clear, and relevant.   You should include the following sections/headings in your draft and final write up. Executive summary (1 page long, written last as a summary of the entire paper) Introduction to the company  Provide a detailed description of your company/brand (Re‐read Chapter 2 for how to talk about a brand, brand image). The description should include, at a minimum, the product’s name, trademark, color, shape, packaging, labeling, and any characteristics that you deem relevant. Describe the company’s Unique Selling Position (USP) & overall “brand message.”    Describe the company’s target market in terms of its size, segmentation, and the specific needs and wants of potential customers that your product or service is likely to satisfy. BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE: use library databases or www.census.gov to describe your target audience. See Chapter 4 for how to describe the market in terms of segmentation variables.  Tell me about the company’s competition.  SWOT analysis: Tell me the internal strengths and weaknesses of the company. Identify the external opportunities and threats that affect the company. You can present the SWOT analysis as a square table with bullet points.       IMC objectives  Describe the company’s CURRENT MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS (list the types of ads, promotions, social media, videos, newsletters, etc that the company currently uses to communicate with customers.) Evaluate the current communications plan (in what channels is the brand doing well? In which channels does the brand need to pay more attention?)  Develop specific objectives for THIS marketing plan: Specifically identify what goals your marketing communications plan will reach. Are you trying to increase brand awareness? Create a new brand image? Change an existing image? See pages 100‐101. Heirarchy of Effects (149‐150) Communications strategy plan  You must include ideas for at least 6 different marketing communications ideas for the company from the following categories(one idea from each category): Traditional Media (Ch. 8) Digital Marketing (Ch. 9) Internet & Social Media Alternative Marketing (Ch. 10) Direct marketing & Personal Selling (Ch. 11) Sales promotions (Ch. 12) Public relations & Sponsorships (Ch. 13)  For each idea, you must include a DETAILED DESCRIPTION of the idea (You can sketch out an ad or provide a .jpg of an ad you think your brand should emulate. You can create the content for a social media promotion. You can write out a direct email to be sent to customers. You can create a coupon. You can write a press release/detail how the company can get news coverage.    For each idea, you must discuss the TARGET AUDIENCE for the communication (if it is a facebook campaign, discuss the total number of fans and describe their characteristics, if it is a sales promotion, clarify who will receive the promo/coupon).  For each idea, you must include an estimate of the COST of the idea (if it is an ad in a local paper, radio, or TV channel, include a URL link to the cost on the media’s website, if it is a mail out, estimate the cost of printing and postage, if it is sponsoring an event or charity, give the amount to participate in the event, etc)  For each idea, you must include the OBJECTIVE of the communication: increase awareness by 10%, increase sales by 5%, generate a 10% response rate to a sales promotion, reach at least XX amount of people who open the email. Conclusions  Put it all together: suggest an “order” or schedule a calendar for the ideas so the company can integrate these ideas into a coherent campaign.    Discuss why you believe this IMC plan will enhance the company/brand, how the media plan matches the target market, & how it will differentiate the company/brand from its competitors.   References Additional materials (Appendices/Tables)

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Case Study of Behavioral Disorders

In this assignment, you will analyze a fictional scenario and identify the possible disorders involved. All the information needed for this assignment can be found in the textbook. Review the following vignettes:

Behavioral Disorder—Male Vignette Joe, a thirteen-year-old Asian-American boy, is enrolled in ninth grade at a public high school located in the inner city of a large metropolitan area. Since kindergarten, his teachers have reported increasing levels of concern about his behavior. In elementary school, he was described by his teachers as immature and argumentative with authority figures. In middle school, his behavior escalated to include verbal and physical aggression toward classmates. Recent reports indicate that he disrupts the classroom often by arguing with his teacher, talking excessively and loudly, and disobeying classroom rules. During breaks or when outside the classroom, Joe associates with a group of boys who tend to get into trouble. He tends to become angry often and easily and has gotten into many fights. Some of his classmates have reported that Joe has threatened them. He does not seem to feel guilty when he gets into trouble. He rarely finishes his schoolwork and is getting poor grades. Beginning this year, Joe’s teacher has reported that he seems easily distracted. Testing completed by the school psychologist indicates that Joe is intelligent and creative. Results do not support the presence of a learning disability or a developmental disability. The school psychologist indicates that Joe lacks sufficient motivation or desire to complete his work thoroughly or carefully. Joe’s parents report that he refuses to follow rules at home, is often angry, and tends to blame his siblings when he gets into trouble. Behavioral Disorder—Female Vignette Maria is an eight-year-old daughter of Mexican-American parents who recently immigrated to the United States. They speak some English, and Maria is fluent in both English and Spanish. She is enrolled in third grade at the local public elementary school. Since second grade, her parents have reported concerns about her difficulty in paying attention or maintaining her concentration. They indicate that she has significant difficulty in completing her homework because she daydreams and is easily distracted by sounds and activities in the home. Maria has the same problem in the classroom, so she often has to bring unfinished classroom work home to complete. Maria gets frustrated at school and during homework time, often stating that she “can’t do” the work and referring to herself as “dumb” or “not smart enough.” Maria’s frustration with her schoolwork has led to some irritability lately, as well as some desire to avoid school. She tends to have more of a temper at home recently and expresses hopelessness at times. She is most content playing soccer or video games. She tends to concentrate very well during those activities. Standardized testing completed by all children in the third grade indicates that Maria is of average intelligence. Screening by the school psychologist indicated that she most likely does not have a learning disability.

Select one of the above vignettes and analyze it in the following manner:

• Identify and describe two possible behavioral disorders one might consider as DSM diagnoses. Make sure you support those choices with specific symptoms observed in the vignettes.
• Compare and contrast the two diagnoses and select one that you consider as the most appropriate DSM diagnosis. Explain why one is more likely than the other.
• After reviewing recent research studies, readings in your textbook, and other academic sources, provide a thorough description of the following:

• • The symptoms required for a diagnosis of that disorder
  • At least two possible causes of that disorder, incorporating at least one developmental factor and at least one multicultural factor that may be involved in the cause(s) of the disorder
  • At least three of the most effective treatments available for that disorder
  • At least one controversy, cultural bias, or ethical issue related to treatments available for that disorder
  • At least one controversy, cultural bias, or ethical issue related to the practice of diagnosis or “labeling” children, in general

Write an 8–10-page paper in Word format. Add an APA style title page and references page and cite your sources according to current APA standards. Cite information from at least two academic sources to support your ideas. These may include your textbook, and/or peer-reviewed research articles from the AUO library.

Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources, and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
