nutritional requirements. b. (10 points). Our university keeps an IT phone service line (2002) for use by all students, faculty, and staff. During working hours an operator must be available to answer the phone and schedule the technicians if a service is required. Mr. T, the director of the IT line, oversees the operation. It is now the beginning of the fall semester, and Mr. T is confronted with the problem of assigning different working hours to his operators. Because all the operators are currently enrolled in classes, they are available to work only limited number of hours each day, as shown in the following table. Page 25.159.12

irrespective of individual course sections and other considerationsdiscussed above, scatter plots and regression lines were plotted and analyzed, results shown inAppendix B. For the entire population, a Pearson r = 0.533 was determined, still exhibiting apositive association. When segmented by delivery method, the correlation coefficients showedFTF = 0.512 and DE = 0.611. These results are in-line with the results of Table 2, anddemonstrate a decreased association attributed to the variances afore mentioned.Table 2.

Student performance was classified asexceptional, effective, acceptable or unsatisfactory. These levels correspond to approximatelyA-level, B-level, C-level or failing levels of performance. In general, students performed at ahigh level, either exceptional or effective. The first learning goal, develop and explaining asampling plan, was evaluated using the first line of the rubric. Student perform on thisperformance measured displayed the most variability of all items. Many students failed tospecify a sampling interval and time to gather a sample in their
business. The quantitativesampling strategy used in selecting the population was non-probability, convenience sampling[15]. The population was readily available and convenient. In addition, the populationrepresented some characteristics of the target population. The student teams resemble self-managed teams in the following ways: (a) self-led, (b) shared responsibility, (c) shared goals, Page 11.228.16and (d) high autonomy. Each team is assigned a team project for the 2006 spring semester.Instrumentation The measuring instrument for the independent variable is the 36-Item ManagerialBehavior Instrument developed by Lawrence, K.A., Quinn, R.E

One of the open planningissues is for a student and faculty evaluation of the classroom exchanges. It is hoped thatstudents from all three universities’ will gain an appreciation for their peers across borders. Itmay be that the insights learned from planning and development of the international classroomseries could provide a valuable lesson in international project management.Bibliography1 McDonough III, Edward F., Kenneth B.

growing need to accommodate non-traditional students who have full-time jobs, part-time jobs, perhaps older than your traditionalcollege student, with life-changing events such as getting married, starting a career, or starting afamily, spawned our need to make course delivery changes. Theorist Malcolm Knowles 1discussed andragogical learning theory and how institutions who teach adults can adapt theirteaching habits within the learning environment. Knowles' concept of andragogy has beenwidely adopted by educators from various disciplines around the world. Andragogy is basedupon six assumptions: (a) self-directedness, (b) need to know, (c) use of experience in learning,(d) readiness to learn, (e) orientation to learning, and (f) internal
