Assignment 2: Recycling, Reducing, and Reusing

In the Working Ahead section in Modules 1, 2, and 3, you were informed to collect items to be recycled and log a journal of these items. You were also instructed to select either Module 2 or Module 3 to collect these items.

Your assignment in this module is to submit your weeklong Recycling Journal, along with an analysis of your recycling efforts and an examination of the recycling process.

Be sure to examine what you have recycled in your chosen week and estimate how many grocery sacks of material you recycled—try to estimate the size. Results showing who recycled the most material will be posted by your facilitator in Module 5.

For this assignment, complete the following:

Part 1

Review your Recycling Journal for the week you selected. Write a report that covers the next two parts of this assignment.

Part 2

Based on what you identified as recyclable in one week and using this data, estimate how much garbage your entire locality or city could prevent sending to the landfill. Include the following:

What is the total population of your community? You may use reliable Internet resources to identify this information.
If everyone in your community recycled as much trash as you did for one week, how much garbage could your area recycle? To calculate this number, you can use your number and multiply it by the number of people in your community.
How much trash could your community save in a year? To calculate this number, multiply the weekly estimate for your community by the number of weeks in a year.
Do you think your community recycles enough? How can the US Government place more importance on recycling?

Part 3

Examine the process of recycling. Include the following:

Explain how recycled material is reused.
Describe what happens to recycled cans, bottles, and newspapers after they go to the recycling bin.
Examine the impact you have on creating renewed resources from these recycled items.

Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Write a 4–5-page report in Word format. Submit the report, along with your recycling journal. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

By Wednesday, February 3, 2016, submit the report, along with your recycling journal to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

Discussion

[Pin It]

Discussion, consider the stories told by the faculty and staff in the audio program. Each of these individuals represents a different perspective on issues at their institution. Imagine yourself as a program, department, or division leader at an institution like this. Your concerns are meeting the needs of all students, faculty, and staff in your area, implementing new initiatives or approaches that are likely to improve your area’s effectiveness, and working within budgetary and bureaucratic constraints—priorities that often conflict. You face challenges like those raised by leaders at different institutional levels, as described in your reading in Turnaround Leadership. Use the following questions to guide your Discussion:

How could an administrator or other leader working with faculty and staff like those in the audio program do a better job of addressing their differing perspectives?
What leadership challenges have you faced in your work environment? Are these similar to or different from those highlighted in the readings and audio program? What leadership skills appear to be necessary in higher education institutions?
How do you see people in these roles employing leadership strategies to effect change in the institution?
Are there common leadership strategies or qualities you can identify in the readings, in the audio program, and in the position announcements you found for the Application Assignment?
Do people in different roles or at different levels within the institution use different leadership strategies? How?

For this assignment, through a process of reflection, reading, and an analysis of your own needs for knowledge and/or skill acquisition, consider the factors and elements that are applicable to training and teaching in an online environment. Then, design an individualized professional development plan. Include the following in your plan:

Include a summary of the self-knowledge you gained as an effective online instructor, as well as your strengths and weaknesses.
Select at least two personal challenges and formulate a plan to address those challenges.
Discuss the process by which you will seek to increase your ability to be an effective online instructor.

Length: 5-7 pages, not including the title and reference pages.

References: Minimum of three to five scholarly resources and from text. Also, must be plagairized free using grammarly and turn-it-in.

1. Which sorting method did you choose?
2. The sorts we discussed were selection, insertion, bubble, merge, quick, and shell. In about a paragraph, discuss why the ones that you didn’t choose would have been less appropriate?

3. How much slower would you expect bubble sort of 10,000 elements to be than merge sort?

4. What is the fastest algorithm for finding the kth largest element of N numbers?

5. What is the primary disadvantage of Quick Sort? How could this disadvantage be eliminated?

6. What is an advantage of bubble sort over selection sort? What is an advantage of selection sort over bubble sort?

7. Why is a hybrid algorithm combining insertion sort with quick sort often faster than solely using quick sort?

8. Describe how radix sort of integers can be implemented to require only twice memory, rather than ten times memory.

9. State one or two problems that you can think of that are associated with sorting a linked list as compared with arrays?

10. Give one or two advantages that the linked list implementation has over arrays.

Part 3 Implement the program. Turn in the lab, including files containing the typed answers to the part 1 questions, the pseudo-code.
