After reading the text and reviewing the corresponding power point slides you will now apply your knowledge in the following “Try It” exercises.
These are exercises that are meant to be used with your students in the classroom. To gain a better understanding of the process, you will complete them.
Complete Parts 1 and 2. Each activity is worth 10 points for a total of 20 points.
To take a proactive role in nursing policy, identify your legislator and prepare an email to this legislator about a current nursing issue. Write a concise, professionally worded e-mail to a state-level legislator about a current nursing issue that is important to you. Do not ask the legislator to increase nursing pay, make your hospital do or not do something, or any other issue that the legislator can not address.
1. Find the legislator(s) for your Texas zip code. You will only write your email to one legislator, even if many are listed.
2. Complete the issue description and action plan section prior to composing the email to organize your thoughts. Be specific – don’t use generalizations like “decrease the nurse-patient ratio.” Use current journal literature to validate the request.
3. Write your final e-mail in the space provided on this assignment document. Use single space – this is an email not a letter.
4. You MUST include one personal example about how the issue personally affects your nursing career.
5. Use at least 2 CURRENT references (less than 5 years) and in-text citations (either short quotes or your summary of what the author said) to support your thoughts. Remember, if quoting, cite the page number with the author and year. List in current APA format but single space. Journals are always the best resource, not newspapers, blogs, or other less reliable resources.
6. Upload and submit the email assignment you have prepared into Canvas.
It is not necessary for you to actually send your email to you legislator unless you choose to do so.
Course Performance Objective: Identify and model professional role in shaping future nursing care.
A. Identifying Your Legislators:Find out who your legislators are at the local or state level. You only need address your issue to one legislator. If email information is not available then you would need to put their physical address. In rare cases if a physical address is not listed, please include a webpage address. Use a Google search to locate Texas legislative systems, or this helpful link to identify your state legislator. https://www.congress.gov/state-legislature-websites
Record name, title, and Legislator’s contact information here:
1. a.. State the nursing issue that affects you in 1-2 sentences.
b. List three reasons or examples as to how this nursing issues affects you personally as a student or in your future practice as a Registered Nurse.
2. a. What help/assistance are you requesting from your legislator? (Make sure it is something that the legislator can actually do anything about – they cannot get your personal salary increased!) BE SPECIFIC. For example: “enact a bill to address the issue of burnout by limiting the staff-patient ratio to 1:4.”
b. List three reasons or examples as to why this bill/assistance would positively impact your practice or help other nurses.
C. a. Use the Rubric to write the E-mail! Explain the importance of this issue to your practice and to you personally. Limit the e-mail to one page, including the references. Choose details from those you developed above that create the strongest and most persuasive thoughts. Remember to include personal examples.
b. Strictly follow the format of the sample e-mail located in the assignment instructions as well as the rubric. Address the legislator appropriately (The Honorable…) and include your home address to classify you as a constituent.
Edit your e-mail for spelling, grammar, and word usage!! This is an issue of professionalism for me.Read it aloud, and/or get a friend to read it and provide feedback. Use paragraph breaks, not just one long email. Include two in-text citations. Remember, if using quotation marks, cite: (Jones, 2020, p. 10). If summarizing, use: (Jones, 2020). Limit the email to one page including the references!
Write your final e-mail in the space provided below. Type directly below in the spaces provided.

Use of Turnitin
This Policy Paper assignment will be reviewed using Turnitin, a software tool embedded in the online classroom to support the development and assessment of academic writing, including ensuring the authenticity of student work through a Similarity Report that highlights any matching areas in your paper found in another submitted paper in the Turnitin repository using a range from 0% to 100%.
The use of Turnitin in this class is different than how it may have been used in your other classes in that there is no need to create a separate account. You only need to submit your assignment within the classroom. Shortly after you submit your assignment you will receive helpful feedback to improve your writing from within the Turnitin software tool.
You can submit your paper to Turnitin multiple times before the assignment due date. Once you submit your assignment to the Assignment folder, your paper will be submitted automatically to Turnitin generating a Similarity Report. When a Similarity Report is available for viewing, a similarity score percentage will be made available that can be accessed from the Assignment folder by selecting the Submitted link located under “Completion Status” or by clicking the View History button. NOTE: It may take a few moment for the report to be available.
If you have any questions about the use of Turnitin for your assignments, please reach out to your instructor directly via the in-class messenger or email. If you are experiencing any difficulty accessing the Similarity Report, please visit the Turnitin support site.
Remember that you will not use your account at Turnitin.com for this course; the tool is already embedded in this assignment folder.

Papers are due BY 11:59 p.m. ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2021 AT um learn website of the course. You should plan to upload the paper by 11:30 p.m. to avoid any chances of being late. Any papers that arrive late will receive a late penalty as described in these instructions and the course outline. The late policy will be strictly enforced to keep the level playing field for all students.
The Assignment
Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua and his team, aware of your skills in strategic analysis, have asked you to help them assess the situation and to recommend a strategy for the company for the next five years. Please prepare a report for them giving your appraisal of the situation and your recommendations, considering strategy formulation as well as implementation issues, and using the format given in the “General Guidelines for Analyzing and Writing Cases” provided at the UM Learn website of the course. Please do not limit yourself to the alternatives, if any, given in the case so you may build other strategic alternatives and consider them before making a recommendation. The case is available for purchase at the Ivey Publishing’s website. Its title is “Mobileye 2021: Robotaxi and/or Consumer AV” and its number is 721481. Its date is June 2, 2021. The case is from the Harvard Business School. Be sure to buy the case mentioned above because there are other cases on Mobileye. In fact, I have added this case to the Administrative Policy coursepack as well (see at the bottom of the coursepack). Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Midterm Examination Case Specifications
The paper must be between 2,000–2,800 words and printed on a maximum of nine (9) pages in double-space with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch (2.54 centimeters) margins on all sides (maximum 23 lines per page). You must use paragraphs and headings in keeping with appropriate business writing form. Use a tab at the beginning of the paragraph to clearly distinguish it from previous paragraphs. Do not use any footnotes. You may use either left justification or both left and right justification.
The word-count limit and the nine-page limit do not include the Title Page or any exhibits. However, they do include the executive summary. Therefore, ignore the Title Page and begin page number one with the Executive Summary. Please do not use fancy fonts. Avoid extended use of bold or italics also. Papers that grossly violate these guidelines will receive a failing grade (e.g., using a font smaller than the one specified here or using single space text in the body of the paper will receive a failing grade). Points may be deducted for other violations (e.g., at least ten per cent points will be deducted for each additional page or part thereof {Hint: “part thereof” here means at least ten per cent points will be deducted for any part of the tenth or any subsequent page}). Ten per cent deduction means that if you receive 80 per cent marks in the exam, violation of one page (or part thereof) will reduce it to 70 per cent. Please be sure that the text of the paper as well as the exhibits are readable. It may be better to copy and paste exhibits from Excel to Word rather than use their pictures or screenshots. As you know, pictures or screenshots make the numbers difficult to read.
Clarification: Stop when you reach 2,800 words or nine pages in the given format. In other words, the paper must meet both conditions: Not more than 2,800 words and not more than nine pages in the given format. Include the Word Count and the Page Count on the statement of integrity and the title page (as shown above). Keep in mind that the word count and the page count include the headings and subheadings that are part of the text of the paper. You may underline or use bold letters for the headings of various sections to show them clearly.
Submitting the Case – Uploading at UM Learn
Papers must be submitted in a pdf format by the deadline at UM Learn in the Midterm Exam folder of the course. The pdf copy must have all pages of the text as well as the exhibits. The papers should have a Title Page as given in these instructions. Papers with any student’s name or without the word count will not be accepted (No student names anywhere on the exam!). Each page of the report should contain a header or footer with the student number, section number, and page number. Make sure you put the signed Statement of Integrity (SOI) in a different file and name it so it is easily identifiable.
Students are also required to submit exact electronic copies of the paper in the Word format at UM Learn. Please do not email the electronic copies to your instructor. When you submit a file at UM Learn, you will get a receipt. Also, AACSB Assurance of Learning Committee will need to access them at UM Learn for their use. Please submit one document in the Microsoft Word format, which should have all the text as well as the exhibits. Please name the files as follows: GMGT4010-Midterm-Section Number-Student Number. Please do not submit more than these three documents (a pdf file, a Word file, and the Statement of Integrity (SOI) file). As you know, the pdf document ensures that the formatting stays the same, irrespective of the computer settings.
As mentioned in the course outline, please note the following for late penalty (on weekdays as well as weekends): Late submissions, including those delayed by computer-related difficulties, will be penalized ten percentage points for every 24 hour period, or portion thereof late. For example, a student who earns a score of 80% on his/her paper will receive a score of 70% if the paper was submitted one day late. Exam papers will not be accepted after 48 hours. Exceptional circumstances which might jeopardize your ability to meet this deadline must be brought to your instructor’s attention prior to the due date, or else they cannot be considered as grounds for exemption from this late penalty. If you are involved in any co-curricular activities (e.g., case competitions at another university), you are expected to complete and submit the paper prior to the deadline.
Saving Copies of the Paper
Neither the department nor the university accepts any responsibility for potential loss of papers during handling. Such a loss may be extremely rare; nevertheless, to protect against this theoretical possibility, all students are required to keep a hard and an electronic copy of the paper that they submit. Don’t forget to save multiple soft copies to avoid any chance of losing your disk, computer crash, or other such problems!
External Research
You are required to access the company’s annual financial information (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flows, and Stock Prices) from the Internet for at least three years (2018-2020). As you may know, this information is easily available at several websites, e.g., Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, Marketwatch, Macrotrends, Wall Street Journal, etc. Some of these websites may also have key financial ratios of various companies available for several years. Usually, trends of these ratios for the most recent five years is sufficient. You may use the ratios from these websites in your report but be sure to provide the reference. As you know, it is more important to know how to interpret these ratios than how to calculate them.
This assignment is primarily based on the case and the financial information. Thus, you are not required to conduct any other external research on the company and its industries. You may search for other information up to June 2, 2021, if you would like to (the company’s fiscal year is from January to December). Even if you are searching for information from external sources, it should not be the focus of the paper. Moreover, search for or use of any information or data regarding this company and its industries after the above-mentioned date will be subject to hind-sight bias and will be considered a violation of university policy on Academic Integrity.
Be sure to provide references on a separate page for any search before the date given above and attach this page at the end of the paper. This page may contain only references and can be in addition to the text-pages and exhibits. The words on the reference page are not included in the word count of the paper. You may use APA or any other format. Please use your own words throughout the paper and do not use any direct quotations from the case or from the external sources. You may provide the citations (e.g., when you are providing Assumptions and their Justification exhibit) by the name of the author and year (e.g., Smith, 2020). If the source material does not have an author, you may use the name of publication (e.g., Wall Street Journal, 2020).
Please keep in mind that you are not allowed to consult any case solutions or teaching notes for the midterm case or any other case that may be related to the midterm case in any way

Introduction.
Childhood malnutrition is a complex topic encompassing undernutrition and overnutrition(Mathur & Pillai, 2019). While undernutrition and its corollary diseases are mainly experienced in developing and underdeveloped countries, overnutrition is continually becoming an issue of great concern for all population categories in developed countries, the united states included. This underscores the double burden of nutrition to healthcare systems and the economy. This is paper gives background information on the topic of overnutrition ending with a PICOT question on the same topic.
Definition.
Overnutrition, a form of unbalanced nutrition(malnutrition), is caused by excessive intake of nutrients, causing the excess to be converted and stored as body fat, which accumulates over time, leading to obesity and overweight, which impairs health(Mathur & Pillai, 2019).The CDC (2019) defines childhood obesity as weights above the healthy weights or normal for their age and height. The causes of childhood obesity are multifactorial. Increased urbanization, improved living conditions, and food security is among the key drivers of overnutrition among children. A sedentary lifestyle among children living in areas with no playgrounds or hooked to videogames along with genetic factors is other causes of childhood obesity.
Epidemiology. The CDC (2019) notes that the prevalence rate of obesity among children is too high. Obesity prevalence among children of 6 to 11 years is approximately 18.4%. About 13.7 million American children and adolescents aged between …use Children’s Exercise and Nutritional Evidence-Base…………………………………………………………………………………………………
