Each of these four (4) companies (Fiat Chrysler, IBM, Burger King, and Old Spice) has been through numerous changes in recent years. For this assignment, select only one (1) company / brand. Use the information listed, as well as your own knowledge and research, to complete the provided situation analysis template. Additional research should include the use of the company’s Website, the course textbook, and other online sources.

In another textbook, Introduction to World Religions, by Christopher Partridge, a claim is made about the religion(s) of Native American peoples. The claim is that “The tribal peoples of North America proclaim the One Great Spirit.” Your task in this homework assignment is to determine whether that is true or false given the evidence you have in our textbook, Invitation to World Religions, 2nd Edition. If you think it is true, you might give examples of different tribes and their beliefs, illustrating how they believe in the One Great Spirit. If you think the claim is false, you might give examples of different tribes and their beliefs, illustrating how they don’t believe in the One Great Spirit. You may need to interpret the name ‘One Great Spirit’ so that you and your reader (me and your peers) are clear on the claim. [You won’t be sharing these, but it helps to have an audience in mind.] In short, treat the claim as an hypothesis and set about confirming it or refuting it.

Submissions should be typed and should be between 200 and 300 words. Keep “fluff” to a minimum. Provide enough details to identify the group or tradition you’re talking about, but stick to the topic as best as you can.

Submissions will be analyzed using SafeAssign.

Submissions will be graded using the rubric in Course Materials and in accordance with the policies on your syllabus.

Outcomes: This assignment is particularly relevant to the following learning outcomes, among others:

(a) Attitudes: develop a sense of appreciation for multiculturalism.

(b) Skills: develop a critical and appreciative awareness of religious ideas and practices.

(c) Knowledge/Content: identify the basic ideas, practices and institutions of five or more different religions, and analyze similarities and differences between religions and within the varieties within each religion studied

Assignment

1. For this discussion, you are asked once again to select organic compound from your text book or one that you found on the list of ingredients from a product in your home or select your favorite organic compound. No ionic compounds!
2. The compound of your choice must be an organic compound. Please make sure you are able to answer the following questions regarding the compound of your choice. You may have difficulty answering the questions below if your compound of choice is complex. In this case, the simpler the better. In order to earn full credit, you must clearly label all protons and carbon atoms in your structure.
3. Using your knowledge or the material covered in Weeks 1 – 6, your text books and the Internet answer the following questions regarding your compound.
   1. What is the name and structure of your compound? Please be sure to include the structure of your compound and not just the molecular formula.
   2. What is the major function group in your compound (Hint: Look at the ending of the name of your compound for a hint).
   3. List all of the other functional groups present in your compound.
   4. What is the HDI (Hydrogen Deficiency Index) for your compound?
   5. How many sets of non-equivalent protons are present in your compound?
   6. Please label all protons in your structure and indicate what would be the multiplicity of each set of non-equivalent protons in your compound (singlet, doublet, etc.)?
   7. How many peaks would you predict would appear in the Carbon-13 NMR spectrum? Please label all carbons in your structure.
   8. Which carbon atom in your compound would you predict would be the farthest downfield in your C-13 Spectrum?
   9. Pick at least two functional groups present in your compound and describe where they would appear in the IR spectrum of this compound. Please be sure to include the actual absorption frequencies in your discussion posting.
   10. What would be the m/z value for the molecular ion peak of your compound? Remember m/z values are whole numbers.
4. Remember to site your sources in AMA style. Anything you post has to be rewritten in your own words. Do not cut and paste from another source and claim it as your own. Any posting that contains information word for word from another site will be considered to be plagiarized and will receive a grade of zero. Plagiarism is a violation of the Academic Integrity Statement and will be dealt with on an individual basis.
5. Respond to at least two other students.
6. Contribute to an ongoing discussion by responding to comments made to your posting or to comments made by other students to other postings.

No plagiarism. Please answer in your own words.

Discussion: Assessment Tools

Assessment tools have two primary purposes: 1) to measure illness and diagnose clients, and 2) to measure a client’s response to treatment. Often, you will find that multiple assessment tools are designed to measure the same condition or response. Not all tools, however, are appropriate for use in all clinical situations. You must consider the strengths and weaknesses of each tool to select the appropriate assessment tool for your client. For this Discussion, as you examine the assessment tool assigned to you by the Course Instructor, consider its use in psychotherapy.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

STUDENTS WILL:

• Analyze psychometric properties of assessment tools
• Evaluate appropriate use of assessment tools in psychotherapy
• Compare assessment tools used in psychotherapy

Note: By Day 1 of this week, the Course Instructor will assign you to an assessment tool that is used in psychotherapy.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide.
• Consider the asessment tool assigned to you by the Course Instructor.
• Review the Library Course Guide in your Learning Resources for assistance in locating information on the assessment tool you were assigned.

Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your colleagues’ postings. Begin by clicking on the “Post to Discussion Question” link and then select “Create Thread” to complete your initial post. Remember, once you click Submit, you cannot delete or edit your own posts, and cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully before clicking
Submit!

BY DAY 3

Post an explanation of the psychometric properties of the assessment tool you were assigned. Explain when it is appropriate to use this assessment tool with clients, including whether the tool can be used to evaluate the efficacy of psychopharmacologic medications. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.

Week 2: Assessment and Diagnosis in Psychotherapy

“A sensitively crafted intake assessment can be a powerful therapeutic tool. It can establish rapport between patient and therapist, further the therapeutic alliance, alleviate anxiety, provide reassurance, and facilitate the flow of information necessary for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.”

—Pamela Bjorklund, clinical psychologist

Whether you are treating patients for physical ailments or clients for mental health issues, the assessment process is an inextricable part of health care. To properly diagnose clients and develop treatment plans, you must have a strong foundation in assessment. This includes a working knowledge of assessments that are available to aid in diagnosis, how to use these assessments, and how to select the most appropriate assessment based on a client’s presentation.

This week, as you explore assessment and diagnosis in psychotherapy, you examine assessment tools, including their psychometric properties and appropriate use. You also develop diagnoses for clients receiving psychotherapy and consider legal and ethical implications of counseling these clients.
