Assignment: Exploratory Activity on Bird Beaks
This is an exploratory activity that will help you visualize how an organism’s traits can affect its survival, and how some traits could become selected over time. For this activity you will need:
A pair of pliers
A pair of needle-nose tweezers
A slotted spoon
A drinking straw
Sunflower seeds in the shell
Colored water
A long narrow vase
Rice grains
Small block of Styrofoam
Three or four large marshmallows
A teaspoon of herbs (any kind will do, like basil or parsley)
A bowl of water
Ice cubes in a bowl of water
Set up six stations to represent different types of food that birds might eat, as follows:
Sunflower seeds scattered on a table
Colored water in a long, narrow vase (represents flower nectar)
Rice grain tucked inside the piece of Styrofoam (represents small insects in tree bark)
Marshmallows scattered on the table (represents meat from small animals)
Ice cubes in water (represent fish in a lake)
The herbs placed in the bowl of water (represents small plants and animals floating in a lake)

The pliers, the tweezers, the spoon, and the drinking straw are going to represent different types of bird beaks. The six stations you have set up will represent different types of food that different birds eat. Using your beak tools, decide which tool is best suited for each type of food. Refer back to your whiteboard activity from the warm-up of this section. Which bird beaks from the warm-up look like tools you have used in this activity? Describe how the development of a special beak shape could affect a bird species’ survival. How might beak shapes change over time if the usual food source changed? For example, if small insects began hiding deeper within a tree or if sunflower seeds developed harder shells? Describe how natural selection and evolution are demonstrated by this activity.

1 -Budgeting & Financial Management
Indianapolis Pharmaceuticals Company (IPC) recently revised its performance evaluation system. The company identified four major goals and several objectives required to meet each goal. Charles Merrill, controller of IPC suggested that a balanced scorecard be used to report on progress toward meeting the objectives. At a recent meeting, he told the managers of IPC that listing the objectives was only the first step in installing a new performance measurement system. Each objective has to be accompanied by one or more measures to monitor progress toward achieving the objectives. He asked the help of the managers in identifying appropriate measures.
The goals and objectives determined by the top management of IPC are
1) Maintain strong financial health.
2) Provide excellent services to customers.
3) Be among the industry leaders in product and process innovations.

how you might have prevented the misdiagnosis of the patient in the study. Include strategies for obtaining patient history, ordering diagnostics,

and recommending potential treatment options.

Case Study 2:
A 50-year-old white male went to the emergency department with complaints of right leg pain. The patient is an avid runner, and knowing this, the

provider diagnosed the patient with a right leg muscle strain. The patient was sent home with Flexeril as needed and Motrin 800 mg q8h as needed.

One week later, the patient followed up with his primary care doctor with continued right leg pain. His doctor instructed him to continue to take

the muscle relaxant and Motrin, and advised that the pain should subside in 5–10 days. The following day the right leg pain increased, prompting the

patient to return to the emergency department. Multiple providers failed to diagnose a blood clot in the patient’s right leg.
To prepare:
• Review Part 11 of the Buttaro et al. text in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Select one of the cased studies provided. Reflect on what went wrong in this case study, as well as why patient blood clots continue to be

misdiagnosed.
• Think about how you might have prevented the misdiagnosis of the patient the case study. Consider strategies for obtaining patient history,

ordering diagnostics, and recommending potential treatment options.

Final Project
Before completing this assignment, be sure you have completed the material for Modules One and Two in uCertify, as this will help you recognize the

content and functions of the RACI and WBS charts.

In this assignment, you will begin your work with the course case scenario involving the student degree progress project. You will begin by examining

three key project documents: the project charter, the RACI chart, and the WBS chart. The project charter is in the Student Degree Progress Project

Charter document, while the RACI and WBS charts are included in the Project Management Documents Excel workbook. This workbook has multiple tabs.

Using this information, you will address the questions and critical elements in the Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric document. You will compose a

brief project description that summarizes the student degree progress project, including its purposes, objectives, and how and where to find further

information about it. This is the type of communication project that team members typically provide for stakeholders.

Your work on this milestone will help you prepare to compose sections of Part I of your final project, which introduces the student degree progress

project and discusses roles and responsibilities within the project team.

To complete this assignment, review the Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric document.

IT 328 Final Project Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Introduction, Stakeholders, and Roles
Overview: In Milestone One, you will begin your progress toward successful completion of your final project, the risk analysis and mitigation memo. It

is
important to note that this milestone addresses Section I, Parts A and B of your final project. For purposes of this activity, these items have been

further broken
down in the milestone activity than they will be in the final version of your project. This is meant to help guide you through all the aspects of this

point in your
learning experience.
You will start by reviewing the project scenario and some key documents that contain information about the student degree progress project that are

provided
for you in the Project Management Documents Excel workbook. Your work on this milestone will help you successfully develop several elements of Section

I of
the final project, including discussion of the purpose of the student degree progress project, its objectives, the location of information about the

project, and the
roles and responsibilities of project team members.
Prompt: As you go through these documents, think of yourself as a member of this team. In the following activity, you will use those documents to make

key
connections. While the project charter is in its own Word document, the Student Degree Progress Project Charter, the RACI and WBS charts are included

in the
Excel workbook that you will use to complete this assignment. Go through each labeled tab to access each key piece of information. You will continue to

refer
back to these documents throughout your work on the milestones leading to your final submission. You may reference the elements in this document to

support
your answers, using text and screenshots as needed.
Your submission for Milestone One should address the following critical elements:
I. Introduction to the Project: Keep this area as concise as possible (1 to 2 paragraphs) while ensuring you fully accomplish the following:
 Explain the purpose of the student degree progress project.
 Describe the end objectives or project outcomes.
 Explain where this information is documented in the artifacts you are using and provide an attachment of the specific documentation you used
to obtain this information. Remember, your email memo will want to refer your reader very specifically to key areas in the attachments you
provide so that your leadership team can dig into it as needed.
II. Key Stakeholders and Roles: In this area, you will describe all of the project roles in a detailed paragraph. These descriptions of each team

member’s
role are important and are often used for stakeholder audiences. For instance, this information may be used when the project work structure is
presented to department management for comment and approval. You may organize this area as you wish; as a rule of thumb, you will likely need a
complete paragraph to fully address the following for each role:
 List the team members identified in the project documentation and their project roles accurately.
 Describe the relevant function or general behavior of each role specific to this project.
 Explain the significance of each role specific to the phases of the project that the role is involved in.
 List the assigned tasks for each role.Rubric
Guidelines for Submission: Milestone One must be submitted to Blackboard as a Word document. Your submission should be clear, coherent, concise, and

free
of errors.
Instructor Feedback: This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center. For more
