The following assignment incorporates the concepts from prior weeks (variables, if-else logic, loops, and arrays), along with this week’s topic of file input/output process.

Create a Visual Logic® program that will:

• Create an array of people’s first names. Using a loop, read the names from a text (.txt) file, and store each one into the array. The array should allow for a maximum of 100 entries. Continue to read in first names and store them into the array. The last entry in the text file, containing “LastOne,” will indicate the end of the list of names. 
• Prompt the user for a first name.
• Loop through the array to determine if the first name entered exists in the array. If a match is found, display a message that includes the name and a message indicating that there was a match found. If no match is found, display a message so indicating.
• Using a loop, continue to prompt the user for first names and determine if a match in the array is found. The loop should continue until the user indicates “stop” as the first name.

Resources/Tips:

• This program requires the use of nested loops. The outer loop will repeat, prompting the user for a first name until the user indicates to stop. The inner loop will search through the array for a match.
• Review the Sample Program #3 on pages 83-87 in A Guide to Working with Visual Logic® for an example of using files.
• Have the TXT files, your Visual Logic® program, the Visual Logic® EXE file, and the VLSig file in the same folder.
• Put quotes around each name in the text (.txt) file.

Submit the following in a ZIP file to the Assignment Files tab:

• Text (.txt) file with names
• Visual Logic® (.vls) file

All,

As a reminder, we have a large assignment due by the end of the week. This assignment is equal to 25% of your final grade. The assignment itself is not that complicated but might be a little tricky. It is based on reading a text file into your arrays. Throughout the week there are couple of hands on activities to help you prepare for the final assignment. In addition, the YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx1c3HJlSWc will walk you step-by-step through the process.

I would encourage you all to start working on the final assignment in the next couple of days to allow you time to ask questions and get assistance from your classmates and from me. Waiting for the last minute might be challenging. In addition, starting early would allow you to take advantage of the Arrays Live Labs if you have any specific questions.

Finally, in the final assignment you are evaluated not just on executing your program, I will be also looking at the following competencies:

Programming Fundamentals – If-else Logic, more than one loop, use of arrays and file processing

Problem Solving and Algorithm Development – Well-structured algorithm and meaningful variable names

Programming Logic – Take your logic beyond the minimum requirements, should some originality and add a “WOW” factor

Structures, Verification, and Validation – Make sure to include error checking, meaningful comments to your users

File Processing – You can read and process data from external file

I cannot emphasize enough, don’t wait until the last minute! Start working on your program today, develop the logic, write a Pseudocode, write the program, improve the program and ask questions!

Good luck,

Aviv

Individual Elevator Pitch

The Pitch is designed to focus on selling yourself to an employer for a job interview, job opportunity, job promotion or internship. Some students are looking for internships, entry level positions and other students are looking to move up in a current company or leverage their experience with another company. This Pitch assumes you have an opportunity to introduce yourself (the pitch) to a particular decision maker and ask for an appointment

Objective: 

Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation. It often happens that we run into someone who could offer us an opportunity and we are not prepared. This exercise focuses your thinking about your qualifications and your objectives so that you can tell people your personal pitch in one to two minutes.

Instructions:

An elevator pitch is a short overview your accomplishments, goals, services, etc. and is typically used as an introduction in a business setting. This can be a powerful tool to sell yourself or your ideas. The pitch should be short and should be delivered in the time it takes you to ride an elevator from the 20th floor to the ground floor.

Example: Imagine you are in the elevator with an executive from Sony Music Entertainment. You have an opportunity to make an introduction. Are you prepared? What will you say? Use your “dream person” to run into in the elevator for your Pitch.

1.Background research to be listed BEFORE you begin your Pitch.

a. Clarify your Job target – List and present your research of your target company and person (research the person/position in charge of the job you want)

b. List your education, skills, accomplishments, projects, internships, work experiences, awards, etc. and then determine what is relevant to this individual elevator pitch. 

2. Actual Pitch

You should tailor your discussion per person, per job, per company, etc.

Make sure your pitch answers the questions:

Who are you? Hi, My name is……. and I am…….What are your qualifications?

Why are you interested in this position/department, etc. with this company? 

Why are you uniquely qualified for this position? (Why are you the best person to hire for this position?)

What is it about you that will benefit the company overall?

3. Ask for a follow up action step, appointment, interview, phone call, etc.

Deliverable: 

Elevator Pitch, following the instructions and listed on a Word Document uploaded to the Platform.

can someone help answer this question plz.question 1Your instructor will choose the discussion question and post it as the first post in the discussion forum. The requirements for the discussion this week are a minimum of four posts on four separate days including responses to at least two classmates.. The total combined word count for all of your posts for this discussion, counted together, should be at least 600 words. Answer all the questions in the prompt, and read any resources that are required to complete the discussion properly.In order to satisfy the posting requirements for the week, complete your initial post by Day 3 (Thursday) and your other posts by Day 7 (Monday). We recommend that you get into the discussion early and spread out your posts over the course of the week. Reply to your classmates and instructor. Attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target, and analyze things in as much detail as you can.Week 3, prompt option #1: Creating an Inductively Strong argument (Also check out the attachment)This week we are learning about the power of inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning is not only extremely common, but it can also provide very good evidence for conclusions. This discussion prompt allows you to present an inductive version of the argument that you have been developing in this course. Prepare: To prepare to write this discussion, read Chapters 5 and 6, focusing especially the section on “Strengthening Inductive Reasoning” in Chapter 5. Take a look as well at the required resources from this week, including What is a Strong Argument? [Link]Reflect: Create a new (and improved) version of the argument that you have been developing throughout this course. Try to make sure that all of your premises are true and that your reasoning is inductively strong. Again, consider how someone with the opposite point of view might criticize your argument and see if you can improve it to avoid those objections.Write: Present your argument in standard form and explain any weaknesses that might remain. A weakness could mean a premise that many might disagree with or questions about the strength of the inference. Indicate briefly how you might address those weaknesses to strengthen your argument further. What further information might strengthen your argument the most?Guided Response: Read the arguments presented by your classmates and analyze the reasoning that they have presented. Comment on the strength of their reasoning. Help them out by pointing out any respect in which a reasonable person might disagree with the truth of their premises or with the strength of their reasoning. Give suggestions for how the argument might be improved. If someone presents good suggestions for your own argument respond with an improved version of the argument.

Individuals with somatic symptom disorders tend to have considerable difficulty with how they experience and appraise their bodily symptoms. The illness and the dysfunctional focus and behavior around the illness can assume a central role in the person’s life.

Somatic symptom disorders were originally thought of as “hysterical,” without legitimate medical causation, or as hypochondriasis. Though thinking has changed, negative judgments about unfounded illnesses can still be attached to individuals with these disorders. The boundary between medical and emotional problems can be further blurred. In some cases, an individual labeled with one of these illnesses may simply be experiencing a developing medical condition that has not yet been well defined. For all of these reasons, social workers need to take particular care in diagnosing somatic symptom disorders and in providing a fully biopsychosocial and multidisciplinary approach.

Jennifer Brea Conference Video:

In this Assignment, you describe what that approach might look like for one client.

prepare:

· Imagine that Jennifer Brea, whose TEDTalk (TED Conferences, LLC, 2016) Video you watched, is referred to you for ongoing supportive therapy when her psychiatry consultant decides that she does not have a conversion disorder. Despite the psychiatrist’s opinion, her primary care physician ignores that consult and labels Jennifer with the conversion disorder anyway. Be sure to investigate what the ‘conversion’ diagnosis means when responding.

Assignment

 PowerPoint (5–7 slides) in which you address the following:

· Explain in a concise professional manner how you would conduct your first meeting with Jennifer. Identify specific steps you would take to understand her circumstance and needs.

· Explain how you would proceed with her medical team in terms of advocacy for her as a client believed to have this condition.

· Explain why you would need to take a biopsychosocial approach to her ongoing care.

· Explain what social, family, vocational, Internet, and medical supports you would explore to help with her longer-term stabilization.

· Analyze the controversy in diagnosing a mental disorder based on unexplained physical symptoms. Within your analysis, consider how power and privilege influence who provides the diagnoses and which groups are more likely to be diagnosed with certain disorders. Explain your thoughts on this debate.

Support your presentation with research and references to scholarly literature.

Make sure you add in information in the note section explaining each slides and Include a transcript and/or edit closed captioning in your presentation to ensure your presentation is accessible to colleagues of differing abilities.
