Perhaps you come from a long line of women who had access to formal education, or perhaps you are the first in your family to attend a university. Education is more than learning fundamental skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic. It is access to opportunity and choice that you may or may not take for granted. Although the value of formal education is inestimable, it does not replace or undermine what women have always had access to—their own knowledge, learned and shared with families and communities—gained through life experience.In this week’s Assignment, you consider the styles of creative and to relay messages concerning women’s education experience.Write a 2-page analysis of women’s educational experience as depicted in the works of Angelou and Walker.

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.As computing technologies evolve, so do the different types of computer crimes.

Assignment 2: LASA 1 – Applying Theory to a Case Study

Select one of the two available video clips to the right.
The video will begin playing immediately.
Pause the video and notice under the Clips heading to the right, either you will see the \”Case Study of Carol (30:38) or Case Study of Paul (26:40) depending on which video you have selected.
Move the video play head to the timestamp of the video. This will be the number in parentheses.
Watch the Case Study
Choose one of the following theories and use your chosen theory and chosen video clip to complete all of the questions in this assignment.
Psychoanalytic
Adlerian
Client-centered
Existential
Gestalt
Reality
Watch the video clip of a supervisor and therapist discussing the case you have selected. The information from the video will supplement the information in the write-up.
Assess the client being described in the video and that client’s related issues using the questions provided.
Directions:

Using only one case study and one counseling theory throughout your paper, provide a detailed response to each of the following questions. For example, if you chose Carol and Psychoanalytic Theory, you would answer all of the following questions about Carol using the psychoanalytic theory.

Based upon all that you know about your client, identify and describe what in your opinion is your client’s most significant problem? This may or may not be the stated “Reason for referral” that is written at the start of each profile. Give a detailed rationale for your assessment and provide supporting evidence from the profile and/or counseling session video clip.
Identify at least two secondary problems from the client’s profile or video that should be addressed at some point in the counseling process. Explain your rationale in some detail for choosing each of these with supporting evidence from the written profile and/or the video.
Using your chosen counseling theory, describe what your theory says about the possible cause or origin of the primary problem discussed in question 1 above. Here, you are trying to explain the assumptions your chosen theory makes about problems that might be seen in a counseling situation. For example if you assessed your client’s primary problem as low self-esteem, a psychoanalytic therapist would delve into the unconscious whereas an Adlerian would explore family history and a reality therapist would look at choices the person has previously made. Explain in detail by including concepts and terms from your chosen counseling theory to support your perspective.
Explain at least three counseling techniques or core principles from your chosen counseling theory that could be used to address the primary and secondary problems of your client. Explain how each of these techniques or principles would be applied in the counseling session and the expected outcome of each.
Given what you know about your client’s situation, identify one cultural issue that is significant in the client’s life outside of therapy or could become an issue between the client and therapist in the therapy session. After explaining the issue, explain two ways the therapist could sensitively address this cultural issue with the client in a way that that avoids stereotyping or bias. Remember to integrate your chosen theory into the discussion.
If you were to see this client on an ongoing basis, describe the types of change or outcomes you could realistically expect to see in your client, in light of the primary and secondary problems mentioned earlier using your identified approach in therapy. Be specific and show how the process of therapy with this counseling approach would lead to the outcomes you discuss.

you will be looking at some software that claims to be able to manage a large part of the project management process: the Celoxis project management and project portfolio management software. Specifically, you will be carrying out an evaluation exercise relative to this software, much as any IT manager would carry out when making a software selection looking for the \”best of breed\” in project portfolio management systems. When purchasing new software, two or more candidate systems are chosen and ranked using an evaluation tool to determine the best solution. The ranking process requires careful evaluation of system features, vendor credibility and reliability in the market, peer-company reviews, due diligence reviews, and overall software fit to the company goals and plans.

As mentioned, for purposes of this exercise you will be evaluating Celoxis. Normally, you would probably be able to have some hands-on experience with tools that you evaluate; however, in the interests of manageability, we will stick to reviewing the information about the system found on the company\’s website. Carry out your software evaluation by reviewing the screenshots, video, and related product information

After you review the Celoxis website Start the paper with a brief overview and a description of Celoxis software, uses, advantages, and disadvantages, and your experience with the evaluation process. What are the advantages of using a tool to evaluate technology decisions?

To complete your evaluation of Celoxis, use the following PPM tool evaluation aid. This resource is intended to help evaluate and compare PPMs. When managers use software evaluation tools, they are more likely to choose wisely and have less probability of the software ending up as shelfware. For this exercise, only a portion of the tool is made available. The sections on help, training, and delivery were omitted. Use the following weights and scores to evaluate each element based on your understanding of the PPM software.
