Tasks: Respond to the following two questions with two pages answer for each one. Separate responses from each question.

Guidelines: Support your responses with scholarly academic references using APA style format. Assigned course readings and online library resources are preferred. Weekly lecture notes are designed as overviews to the topic for the respective week and should not serve as a citation or reference.

In your discussion question response, provide a substantive response that illustrates a well-reasoned and thoughtful response; is factually correct with relevant scholarly citations, references, and examples that demonstrates a clear connection to the readings

Q1 – Choose a middle-range theory or grand theory that, in your opinion, can be applied to research. What are the assumptions underpinning this theory? Discuss how this theory finds application in research.

Q2– Choose a middle-range theory or grand theory that, in your opinion, can be applied to practice. What are the assumptions underpinning this theory? Discuss how this theory finds application in your area of practice.

Object-Oriented Application

December 27, 2019 1 Comment Uncategorized

So far, you have learned about design and how to create a simple Java application using an IDE. Now, you are going to gain some experience writing an object-oriented program with classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism. These terms sound complex, but you will find they are not difficult to use. You will be drawing on all the information you have gained, and this project will require some time, so start early, and pay attention to instructions.

For this project, you will create a Java program that allows the user to select a category of animal from a menu and then a specific animal in that category, then view information about their selection. To facilitate this, we will use a class and inheritance structure as follows:

Program/Main Class: AnimalInfo. This file is for the code (in the method “Main()”) that will run the program, present the list, prompt for input, execute the appropriate class method, and then terminate. Note that this file may not include any information about the categories of animals or any specifics about animals. That information comes from the inheriting classes discussed below.

  • Create a project called “AnimalInfo”.
  • Using the method “Main()”, present the user with three animals and ask them to select one to learn more about that animal. The animals in the menu must match your “inheriting classes” discussed below.
  • When the user selects an animal from the menu, execute the “displayInfo()” method from the appropriate inheriting class.
  • Use code comments to annotate your source code, indicating what each line of code does as well as how it works.

Parent Class: (Name to be determined.) This file is for the broad category of animals that the user can examine in your program, such as dogs, horses or fish. Your program may contain only one parent class (users will only be able to select from a single category of animals).

  • Create a class file, naming it according to the category of animals that you’ve decided to use.
  • Do NOT inherit another file/class. (Do not use the “extends” keyword in the class declaration.)
  • Create a method in your class file called “displayInfo()”.
  • This displayInfo() method will only be executed if inheritance fails, so in displayInfo(), write code that reports to the screen that this parent class has been engaged by mistake. For example, if executed this method will generate user-friendly text on the screen such as: “Incorrect class inheritance, please contact technical support.”
  • Use code comments to annotate your source code, indicating what each line of code does as well as how it works.

Inheriting Classes: (Names to be determined.) Create three class code files that inherit from the parent class discussed above. For example, if you named your parent class “Dogs”, then your inheriting class files might be “Bulldog”, “Beagle” and “Poodle”. (You may not use those examples for your program.)

  • Create three class files, reflecting the animals listed in the menu that was presented to the user.
  • Within each of these class files, declare the class so that it inherits your parent class (using the “extends” keyword).
  • In each class, create a method called “displayInfo()” so that it will override the same method in the parent class. (This will cause text about the selected animal to appear on the screen instead of the error report you wrote for the same method in the parent class.)
  • The text must be a short description of the animal, such as where they live and/or their physical parameters and something interesting about them (1 paragraph of no more than 3-4 sentences). (You do not need to cite your source for this information.)
  • Use code comments to annotate your source code, indicating what each line of code does as well as how it works.

Create a ZIP file that includes your project folder and Word document and upload it to the course portal.

Note: You are strongly encouraged to complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Preparation

Before you create and submit your assessment, complete the following:

  1. Review the results of your STAR assessment and look for credible, professional resources on leadership and managing stressful situations.
  2. Complete one of the emotional intelligence (EI) assessments (linked in the Resources) and find credible, professional resources on EI in business.

Directions

Read the requirements carefully and be sure you complete each section.

  • Section Two – Personal Leadership Assessment: Conduct a personal leadership situational assessment using the critical moment dialogue approach.
    • Describe a chaotic or stressful situation you experienced (in just a few sentences) and the specific actions you took in the situation.
    • Describe ways you could have better managed your reaction to the situation, using the leadership resources you located.
    • Explain how this new insight might influence your personal leadership development.
  • Section Three – Personal Leadership Brand Statement: Based on the results of your STAR assessment, personal leadership situational assessment, and EI assessment, propose a personal leadership brand or style that is authentic, reflects your personality and strengths, and capitalizes on your EI.
    • Condense your personal leadership brand into two words that best describe your style. You can test your proposed leadership brand by asking colleagues for feedback. Include a so that statement for your brand that demonstrates how your leadership style adds value to your organization.
    • Example: “My leadership brand is collaborative accountability so that I can facilitate effective teamwork towards meeting the organization’s goal to deliver X clinical and Y financial outcomes.”
  • Section Four – Personal Leadership Model: Analyze how you can combine your leadership strengths, emotional intelligence, and personal leadership brand into a leadership model that aligns with organizational culture and strategic goals and can guide organizational success. Be sure your analysis includes evidence and support from the resources you located. Specifically, address the following:
    • Leadership strategies to guide highly effective teams.
    • How your leadership approach might be influenced by financial forecasts.
    • How your leadership approach reflects the mission and values of the organization, as well as professional and personal ethics.
