1. Introduction
I am currently studying Computer Science with Business and Management at The University of Manchester, . I decided to take Enterprise Management for Computer Scientists due to a peer’s recommendation, who explained that this was not a conventional Computer Science course unit. This intrigued me as I feel that the majority of my units throughout university are ultimately tailored to just passing the exam; rather than

Already it has changed the way in which I am conducting my project and a critical analysis of a company's marketing campaign within another unit. Throughout the workshop I think I applied myself well with regards to information gathering, although findings of other students did make me think that I could perhaps have researched the topic area with a little more vigour to gain a greater understanding of the market as a whole, and the potential reward or liability on attempting to penetrate it.
3. Case Study 2 “Adding Value”
Case study two was focussed around the company Innocent Drinks and in particular how the company utilises different aspects of its company to add value to it. Innocent Drinks began as a stall at a small music festival in 1998; from its humble beginnings, it now lays claim to an impressive 63% share of the £111m UK smoothie market. Strong brand values seem to be at the epicentre of the company’s success, and despite being Britain’s fastest growing company within the food and drink industry, Innocent Drinks have been able to maintain their trust with employees and customers. With little research I was able to find out that some Innocent smoothies contain more sugar per 100ml serving than Coca Cola does. Giving the current ‘healthy’ eating craze is may seem a little peculiar that both these companies are thriving in their respective markets, why is this? Ultimately it’s down to their brand, but what exactly is a brand? One way to perceive it is

This essay will detail a critical reflection of two key learning experiences that I encountered during my team observed structured professional encounter (TOSPE). Originally designed by Harden and Gleeson (1979), TOSPE takes the form of a mock multi-disciplinary team meeting. As a result, it allows healthcare students to work collaboratively as a multi-disciplinary team- developing non-technical skills and cultural competence.
I have been a Resident Assistant (RA) for about five weeks. Training to be a RA was tiring but very educational. I learned how to handle multiple situations that could happen with me being RA. After training, it was a series of task that I had to complete as a RA. Those task included: completing forty-four Room Inventory Form, putting in fix it tickets, etc.
This leadership experience is an accurate demonstration of my credentials and a large source of my purpose. I am organizing this overnight conference, seeking to improve the leadership capacity of students by encouraging them to discover their individuality and bond with other leaders. As MOCA, I update the schedule with minute-by-minute details; delegate roles to the security team, mentors, and executives; draft the itinerary and timeline; negotiate venue and transportation prices; and communicate with sponsors. This experience has taught me how to use budgets efficiently and improved my organization skills. I have also learned that with purposeful action and passion, I can leave a mark and create positive change in any vocation I pursue.
How do you envision using the knowledge from this course in your current role or your role after graduation?
I had never heard of an IEP until my first education class in college. After first hearing this term, I experienced IEP more and more once I began field experience hours. For PDS, I was placed in a kindergarten classroom at Normal Park Museum Magnet School. At this placement, I was able to sit in on an IEP meeting for a student who had AD/HD. The meeting included the student’s parents, special education teacher, general education teacher, principal, vice-principal, and an IEP facilitator that the school used. This student had already had an IEP, so the IEP team was discussing the student’s strengths, weakness, improvements, and areas of need.
I am writing with regard to Research Assistant, Technical Staff or Technician (Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine) advertised on website. Please find attached my Curriculum Vita, which shows I have the necessary qualifications and experience in the workplace.
On 05-21-2016 at 0834 hours I was contacted at the front desk by April Sutton in reference to a stolen motor vehicle and stolen wallet.
I found that working collaboratively on this assessment was incredibly valuable. This assessment allowed us to engage in co-planning and co-instructing, both critical parts of the co-teaching practice (Conderman, 2011). During the presentation of our activity, I felt more confident because I knew that if I forgot anything, another member of my group would be able to assist me, and vice versa. Much of our planning was done through collaborative discussions as we all felt we could share our ideas openly. Through these discussions, we built up a more trusting relationship, crucial to co-teaching effectively (Conderman, 2011). I believe being given the opportunity to share our different ideas and get feedback on these ideas from other group members was incredibly valuable.
In English 102 I would consider it to be the best education academic writing experience of my education. There would be times where I could say I struggled the most in class was with my grammar and word choices. Throughout my attendance, I intended to prove myself to Professor Hohmann, who is an English professor at CAC (Central Arizona College) that I can write professionally as a student. I created six assignments in the English course to prove myself that I can compose assignments and research as well as my peer college classmates. The tasks that were given to me for grades were beneficial for other classes, career and in life. One of the assignments was a research paper on a specific topic that I desired, which needed to be a debatable discussion. An additional task that helped me out with my writing was the
My enrollment in school has familiarized me with timed writing before. Through my progression in the education system my experience with timed writing gave me practice and made me more comfortable with it. However, there are still areas where my writing needs improving. Being able to write proficiently in a timed environment requires a lot more practice than I have had. Nonetheless the WPJ practice assignment is a means for me to improve the quality of my writing. I will use it to determine my strengths and weaknesses as a writer along with analyzing the challenges I faced during the process of the timed writing.
I felt after getting to know my client and the details of his health experience I would focus my healing initiatives around increasing his strength and mobility, managing adequate oxygenation and support around decreasing stress while he was in hospital. My ideas around increasing strength and mobility would be talk with Physio about exercises he could do for his upper body. My client spent a great deal of time in his bed and was limited on his mobility for his lower body. I felt that increasing the strength of his upper body, this would help him be more independent in repositioning in bed, as well as improving (would help decrease fall risk) his transfers to and from him w/c and bed. Hourly deep breathing and coughing would ensure he keeps
1. Reflect and discuss how the content in Module 1 prepared you to demonstrate mastery on the assignment in Module 1. There were two parts for module one. The first part was to make a wiki and introduce ourselves to the other students in the course. We also had to comment on their introduction.
A trend that surprised me was the students that are a lower academic level were more effective with tools. For example Lan a student, I have had for 3 years is a SPED student that wants to be a mechanic. I have a good relationship with Lan, however, during class, he was defiant, often refused to work, and was a distraction. Yet he mastered using the compass in two attempts. I ask him to help others use the tool to increase his confidence. This also allowed others to see him as a valuable member of our class. I have observed Lan engaged more since and telling others to “get to work”. He also began to join group work and help refocused other when off task, saying “come on let’s get to work". These are things he would not do before this unit.
Branding has been effectively used as a strategic tool for marketing by innocent smoothies and that helps the company to maintain its share in the market or in keeping its competitive position. Innocent has developed its brand image by providing excellent satisfaction, by being genuine, healthy and socially responsible in the eyes of their consumers and once the image is developed, they were able to attract the customers. It is because of brand and its perceived value that consumers are loyal and committed to the Innocent products and they do not look for any substitutes (Ginden, 1993). Customers also perceive it less risky in buying a brand product with which they are emotionally attached. It is more important for products like innocent drinks which the customers have to consume and which has direct impact on their health and body.
