This weeks Questions Omnibus

This weeks Questions Omnibus As I started putting together the latest Questions Omnibus, I realized that there are many, many questions. I hope youll understand if I am brief and to the point with my answers! Questions answered by helpers A.M.C. asked, Just to make sure: Have you received my CD-ROM that contains the supplemental materials by now? The disc is labeled with my name, my date of birth, and the words supplemental materials. Fabrice replied, A.M.C., they might not know you by your pseudonym. Its easier to just email them and not post on a blog :) Thanks, Fabrice, thats exactly right! Carlos asked, Just one question, The Processed tag on each of the items in MyMIT means that someone has alredy read that part of your application or is just say that the Admissions Office has it? Prashant replied, I think it means they have it (rather than they read it). Thats exactly right, Prashant. Carlos, processed means that our records office has processed that item. Anonymous wrote, Annas Taqueria vs. Chipotle. Discuss. mudfud (recent MIT grad, who would have made a great admissions officer) replied, Annas is way, way better than Chipotle. Tastier, cheaper, fasterI miss Annas now that Im in ohio and all I have is chipotle. Ive never had Chipotle, so Ill go with mudfud on this one. just wondering wrote (and Jane W and Megan were also wondering), I was just wondering if you knew anyone at MIT that is vegetarian. Are there any special arrangements for vegetarians?? mudfud again comes to my rescue: There are plenty of vegetarians on campus, and plenty of vegetarian options on campus, and of course in boston. Vegetarian/vegan restaurants are only a walk or a T ride away. And with the abundance of ethnic food in the area, you can get quite a wide variety of vegetarian food (and nonveg for that matter). Every dining area has vegetarian options of varying quality (Annas veggie burrito is amazing!). And of course, certain dorms (like mine, East Campus) have really nice kitchens, so you can cook for yourself as well. She hit the nail on the head with this reply. Swetko wrote, I am asked for a MIT ID number. Do I have such , or how could I obtain MIT ID. Michael helped me out by answering, MIT sent you a letter after you submitted your application that contained your MIT ID. If you lost it (as I had), give them a call tomorrow between 9 and 5 (EST) and theyll get it to you lickety split. I might also add that the MIT ID # is a nine-digit number beginning with 9. Questions without helpers sreraman muralidharan asked, I would like to know if my research accomplishments would be a major asset for me in the admission process. In the admissions process, we value creativity, initiative, risk-taking, excitement, and curiosity, all of which are frequently shown by those who engage in scientific research in high school. I hope, though, that youre doing the research because of your scientific passion and not just to get into college. Nick asked, In one of your last posts you said that you needed supplemental material by this week if it was to be considered before the application went to council. I was wondering it that applied to the midyear report as well? Well take the Midyear Reports whenever we can get them. If we really need them and dont have them, your counselor can expect to get a call from us. Adriana asked, I applied as an international student because I dont have my green card yet, but I will be getting it very soon (I am being interviewed for it tomorrow!). Is it too late in the admissions process to switch to a domestic applicant if I get my green card late February? Hope your interview went well! To be considered a domestic applicant, you must have your Green Card or the stamp in your passport by the time decisions are final. If you realistically believe you will have your Green Card in hand within a few weeks, you should email our office now so that you can be considered along with the domestic applicants. El Frito asked, I was looking through the course listings in your previous blog entry, and I was wondering if you guys offered Martial Arts courses like Taiji Quan or if that is strictly where student formed clubs come in. MIT offers dozens and dozens of Physical Education courses each term, and martial arts courses are among the options. In my experience, people who are more serious about martial arts tend to work with one of the groups at MIT; I count at least a dozen different martial arts groups here, all quite popular. Questions spree asked, Hey Matt any comments on this years applicant pool?? Its a quite strong applicant pool, as usual. About the same number of applications as last year. ABCDEF asked, I sent in my first Trimester transcript along with the rest of them with my Secondary School Report. I am sending them in again along with the Mid-year report form now. Would this be ok? Thats fine, though if we already have your trimester grades, you dont have to send them again just to get us the midyear report form. Its all good. Confused in Chicago asked two questions, First, Ive got into MIT early and I have also applied to Harvard. Im trying to decide between the two. Could you maybe put up a post about the main differences between the two schools, especially in terms of social/student life. MIT and Harvard have very different student cultures. Best thing to do is to visit both if youre admitted and experience both cultures for yourself. More on this after April 1, perhaps. Secondly, Confused in Chicago writes, Ive heard from friends that MIT is pretty much work all the time. Is that the case? Ah, the stereotypes. Well, it is true that MIT has rigorous academics, but it is certainly not true that it is all work all the time. Id recommend reading some student blogs like Mitras or Kevins to get some more insight into student life (and I occasionally talk in this blog about my experiences as an MIT student 1996-2000). Its hard to imagine a school where people only worked all the time would have 300+ student activity groups and 41 varsity sports! Amelia asked, How often does MIT rescind acceptances, and for what reasons? Do you have do something along the lines of get suspended or start seriously slacking off, or can MIT just say whoops, we didnt mean that? Marilee (the Dean) deals with these cases, and Im not involved, so I dont really know the ins and outs here. We wont, however, just say whoops, we didnt mean that.' Keep getting good grades and stay out of trouble, and youll be fine, really. Jordan asks, Matt, what kind of camera is this that you seem to have on you at all times? Cameraphone or something? Nope, its one of the Admissions Offices cameras, a pretty old school one. I asked yesterday if I could get a new, small, snazzy one next year, and it looks positive. If you really want to talk about snazzy cameras, though, you should cruise on over to Bens blog. Sumith P Mathew had many, many questions. Ill try and answer a few here, Sumith! I have already sent in my application for undergraduate admissions to MIT. If I have lately won some international, national, or regional award or recognition like being accepted to the GYLC (Global Young Leadership Conference), etc.. Is it possible for me to somehow update my application? Yes. You can email our office with the update. I have been taking 3 IB HL subjects and 1 SL subject in 12th grade. I already took the IB exam for an SL subject last year. Can I get a junior year credit and start off my college in the sophtmore year? Ill rephrase your question as, can I get credit for IB (or AP or A Level or) classes I have taken? The answer is Yes, and this question is more thoroughly answered on the MyMIT website. If u can only select one more candidate for admission and you have a massive tie between two candidates. How would u choose one candidate from the two? Would you ever toss a coin to decide, in this case? I get versions of this question all the time. The answer is, we dont have ties in our admissions process. People are too different, too unique to have ties. We use the same criteria to evaluate each applicant individually. We would never, ever flip a coin or roll a die to determine admission. You have put in too much effort into the process for us to disrespect you like that. We treat every application with the time and care it deserves. I hope this is helpful, everyone! And thanks for the hand, Fabrice, Prashant, Michael and mudfud =)

1.Ethnic Niche Are Creations Within Industries Or Occupations

1. Ethnic niche are creations within industries or occupations that affect the desirability and availability of jobs that leads to ethnic division (Race, Ethnicity, and the American Labor Market: What’s at Work?, p. 5). They are basically inclinations for certain types of workers. Ethnic niches can be good environments to have in the workforce if one’s personal ethnic or racial group is included. But, ethnic niches can bar certain groups from getting the jobs and limiting mobility within them. The job queue is an entity that is affected by economic change and restructuring while also being affected by discrimination (Race, Ethnicity, and the American Labor Market: What’s at Work?, p. 5). Basically they are rankings that employers make for†¦show more content†¦3. Functional theory conveys that ethnic and racial disparities happen because the prejudice that is emitted serves a certain purpose in society (Race and Ethnicity lecture used in my intro to socio logy class last spring). The hate that stems from discrimination is used for something in society. For example, President Donald Trump’s administration uses immigrants as the scapegoat for the economic problems in the United States. Instead of blaming wealthy bankers and large corporations for their actions, President Trump shifts the culpability to immigrants taking jobs of Americans. Conflict Theory perceives race and ethnicity in regard to economic and political power (Race and Ethnicity lecture used in my intro to sociology class last spring). An example of this is the Rwandan government’s genocide. The government, controlled by Hutus, has launched a genocide campaign against the Tutsis. By doing this, the Hutus control all of the political power and economic assets of the country. Lastly, interactionism focuses on the labeling of groups (Race and Ethnicity lecture used in my intro to sociology class last spring). An example of interactionism is when black children could not attend white-only schools in the United States in the early 1900s. The difference between the concepts are that the Functional Theory and the Conflict Theory examine relations among groups by looking at the larger structure of society while Interactionism examines groupShow MoreRelatedAcademia Barilla vs. Elbulli Strategic Mgmt Analysis4334 Words   |  18 Pageshistory, values, heritage, history, identity, and other attributes that make them unique.

Business Communication M1 - 1862 Words

M1 Business Communication INTRODUCTION In P1 I talked about types of communications used by Asda and these are Verbal, written, on- screen. In this task I am going to show you the advantages and disadvantages of each type of communication referring it to my chosen company and that is Asda. ADVANTAGES OF VERBAL/ORAL Oral communication or speech is often the preferred medium to exchange information in in informal situations since it provides a number of immediate benefits when attempting to pitch proposals and ideas. * It’s easier to communicate verbally than any other way because you get to understand every detail that is being spoken by the other person. In Asda customers communicate with the staff members this is an advantage†¦show more content†¦* Advantage of written communication is that there is a lesser chance for the message to be misunderstood, e.g. if Asda wants to explain something or give instruction in the letter there will be lesser chance for the message to be misunderstood because there will be instruction and the letter will be written properly. * Written communication is good for complicated and vital instructions, which can be given in a precise and uniform manner. * It assists in proper delegation of responsibilities. While in case of oral communication, it is impossible to fix and delegate responsibilities on the grounds of speech as it can be taken back by the speaker or he may refuse to acknowledge. DISADVANTAGES OF WRITTEN * The disadvantage of this is that written communication does not save upon the costs. It costs huge in terms of stationery and the manpower employed in writing/typing and making the leaflets. * The disadvantage of written is for example if Asda sends letter, memos or emails people may not always read them. * Another disadvantage of written communication is that it does not answer questions and there is no immediate feedback. So therefore if Asda sends Letter they cannot have immediate feedback because itShow MoreRelatedBusiness Communication P1, M1 D14072 Words   |  17 PagesInformation : this comes from a wide variety of sources and an effective business person will research information from a range of sources before making decisions.

Marketing Research Proposal Free Essays

There are various research methods used in the research proposal writing. Most of the format is the same but the type of research depends on the type of data that one requires to take or the type of information required. The difference in the research method appears at the method of data collection. We will write a custom essay sample on Marketing Research Proposal or any similar topic only for you Order Now These methods range from qualitative research methods to quantitative methods. Judging from the amount of work at hard or the type, it determines whether one is going to use interviews, questionnaire, case study, experiment, observation, appreciative inquiry and so on. (McNamara 2008) When dealing with a research such as ‘What are the differences between the types of goods bought over the internet in France and England?’ In this case, it would be wise to use survey method of data collection. This is because of the type of goods involved. In this case, one is supposed to get into the field and take the samples of the goods that are sold in the internet in France and in England. With the survey, you will be required to collect the information from the supermarkets or the online shops base at France and those one based in England. This means that you need to collect as much information as possible. That means that the method to use must be cost effective. This place the survey method in a position to quickly and easily get a lot of information at a lower or a meaningful cost. (Corlien M et al 2003) Advantage: This method can be considered to have completed anonymous. It is inexpensive to the administrator as for example one will only need to sit behind the computer and surf. It is also easy to compare and analyze various data from various locations in this case the two countries. Also, you can get a lot of information since many sample data already exists or they are in records. However, it has some disadvantages which range from incomplete data collection since some goods are bought inn private and you might not be able to get them. But all in all I would suggest that this is the best method for this type of research in the method of data collection. (Malhotra 2004) With the question such as ‘Is water usage reduced by charging for it per litre instead of making a fixed charge per household?’ It would be advisable to collect the data using the interview method. In this case, one is supposed to get first hand information concerning the peoples reaction to the charges of water and thus it places the interview as the best option.. Though it is time consuming, costly and sometimes it might be very hard to compare the information, it happens to be the best for this type of information as the researcher will be able to get a wide range of information from the consumer and develop a relationship with the client. (McNamara 2008) There might be some other questions such as ‘Is employee motivation greater in small firms?’ that may require one to apply different methods of data collection. Such is the case study method. This would be very effective as the researcher would do a comprehensive study and comparison of cases from different places so that he can come with a conclusion. The researcher may also employ the method of use of checklists. This would be a quick and non threatening method of data collection as all that the researcher needs is to get the information of the employees’ performance from different companies and then compare the results to come up with a solution. (Malhotra 2004) If one has a question such as ‘Do happy employees lead to happy customers?’ you may be required to employ the method that will give you the best results. In this case, you are dealing with the personal experience of the employees themselves. Due to their security concerns, they may not be ready to give the answer concerning the way the questions are asked. So the best method to employ here is the interview and the observation method of data collection. With the interview, the researcher will be able to win the employees confidence so that they can share with them their experience and their feelings concerning the job. The researcher may also employ the observation method where he will be required to observe the customers reaction when dealing with some employees. It should be done in a way that it will not affect the customers’ reaction. However, this may cause distraction to the customers and result to the type of information collected being not so true and this leads to poor conclusions. (Corlien M et al 2003) Other questions such as ‘Do employee benefits make employees happy?’ require that one gets the real face to face conversation and response from the person addressed. In this type of question, I would suggest that the use of an interview is the best method. This is because, with the interview, one will be able to get the first hand information from the person involved. The researcher will be able to vary the type of question to get the real fact about the person’s feeling on employee benefit. (Malhotra 2004) After the data has been collected, the researcher should move to the next step which is the data interpretation and representation.

HR Shared Services Industry-Free-Samples-Myassignmnthelp.com

Question: Discuss about the HR Shared Services Is Hot and Getting Hotter. Answer: HR Shared Services Is Hot and Getting Hotter. According to me, the scope of HR shared services Industry is increasing to deliver more efficient services to the companies. In the changing scenario, even the mid-size companies have been advised to adopt the approach of HR shared services. The shared services model has become a main stream in providing HR services such as recruitment, selection, training and development, professional practice, performance management, compensation benefits, employment law and industrial relations (Institute for Employment Studies, 2018). According to me, the role of HR in the HR shared services is to provide consultancy on issues such as payrolls, relocation of services, recruitments, benefits , reimbursement of transport expenses , pension benefits administration etc. The HR consultant provides high level professional support to the companies in this this regard. I believe that the activities are performed by the HR consultant in a stable and precise manner. He advices the purchase department of the company to combine the procurement of the resources which offers savings through economies of scale (Hume, 2014). My analysis is that the role of HR consultant is to utilize the best methods to accomplish the task. He must deliver the project on time and in the cost effective manner. He must supply the right information at the right time to the customers, both in process and content. He should deliver the best quality solutions which fulfills the customer needs. His role is to strengthen the HR so that it becomes more strategic and to decrease its involvement in administration processes (Scully Levin, 2010) In my opinion, HR consultants suggest the newly established company to formulate the policies and procedures and they make sure that the employees of the company comply with the applicable rules and regulations. They also conduct HR audits in this regard to ensure compliance. In larger companies, they also provide consultations on grievance programs. They help the human resource to cope with the changes adopted by the company. So, to conclude, it can be said that the HR consultant comprehends the issues and ineffectiveness of the human resources and suggest the ways to rectify them. According to me, the role of HR is crucial in a company whether big or small because they play a very important role in the success of the organization (Muchira Kiambati, 2015).

Vik Muniz Photographs Essay Example For Students

Vik Muniz Photographs Essay I observed a very unique series of photographs by Vik Muniz called Seeing is Believing. Vik Munizs images are not simply photography but are pictures of complicated pieces of art he has produced at earlier times. Utilizing an array of unorthodox materials including granulated sugar, chocolate syrup, sewing thread, cotton, wire, and soil Muniz first creates an image, sculpturally manipulates it and then photographs it. Munizs pictures include portraits, landscapes, x-rays, and historical images. One work that particularly caught my attention was a photograph called Big James Sweats Bullets from the series Sugar Children. The content or subject matter of the artwork is representational. The photograph depicts the hardworking children of sugar cane plantations in South America. This particularly photo is a portrait of a dark skinned boy, slightly overweight, standing and grinning. The photo is of neatly arranged granulated sugar across a piece of black paper which produces the image of the boy. We will write a custom essay on Vik Muniz Photographs specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now Many different sensory properties compose the artwork. There is a soft light that seems very natural coming off the boys face. The light shines at the boys face at an elevated level, as if he were outside on a hot afternoon with the sun overhead. There is a wide range of tones from very bright, in the reflection off the boys cheeks to very dark in the skin of the boys face. Muniz does an excellent job using shadows to provide a feeling of depth and adding curves to the boys body and face. The shape of the boy is positive, but the background is not defined, allowing a negative shape or void in the picture. Although there is no actually texture on the photograph the texture from the original work of art is apparent. The use of sugar gives off a hazy effect preventing the photo from having a clear focus. The portrait of the boy has a frontal vantage point with his body centered and balanced on at all angles. This shows the expression on the boys face and the size of the boys body, which is important to the title of the work. When looking at the photograph the eyes are immediately drawn to the boys face and grin. I chose this piece of art in particular because of the strong emotional message it sent to me. You could sense the hard work and labor the children experienced at these plantations. You tend to feel sorry for this child when considering what he must go through. What I enjoyed must about this photo was Munizs use of symbolism. The fact that he produced the image of a sugar cane working boy with actual sugar was both impressive and significant.

Ishi Living the Way essays

Ishi Living the Way essays Ishi has always strived to help his family; ingrained in him is a responsibility and desire to help protect and provide for them. Life for the remaining Yahi people becomes more and more complicated as their population decreases, and the saldu presence in the Yahi world increases. Ishi and his family are constantly adapting their lifestyle to survive in an ever-changing world. The one constant in Ishis life, weather he is living in the Yahi world or the saldu world, is his endless quest to live in accordance with the way, or in harmony with nature. Imbedded in Ishi is a respect for all the creatures around him. Ishi feels one with the world around him, the animals around him are not lesser beings, and they are an essential part of the world Kaltsuna and Jupka created thousands of years ago.
