Project Details: The new building includes the IT Area, Computer Labs, Administrative Areas, Individual  Offices, a Conference Room, and a Public Meeting Room. IT Area: resources include • 4 network servers • 1 desktop PC • 2 laptops • 2 VOIP phones Administrative Areas: 2 administrative areas will each have • 4 workstations, each with a desktop PC, networked via a network port • a VOIP phone for each of the 4 workstations • a vendor-supplied networked copier Conference Room. The conference room has • a wireless ceiling-mounted Projector • network connectivity via a network cable and a wireless access point • a VOIP phone Meeting Room. The meeting room has • a wireless ceiling-mounted Projector • 1 desktop PC with network connectivity via a network cable. • 2 VOIP phones (one near the lectern and the other wall mounted at the entrance Individual Offices: 40 offices will each have • a desktop PC networked via a network port • a VOIP phone Computer Labs: 2 computer labs will each have • a wireless ceiling-mounted Projector • a desktop PC, networked via a network port, and directly cabled to the Projector • 25 desktop PCs networked via a network port  • a VOIP phone • a vendor-supplied networked copier Personnel Assignments PC Specialist (equipment purchase, software setup and PC support): o purchase, setup and installation of new laptops and desktop computers and corporate software o purchase of all projectors o work with Network Specialist to ensure network access is available on all computers and  networked printers Network Specialist (Telecomm support): o setup and installation of network servers and all VOIP phones o work with PC Specialist to ensure network access is available on all computers and networked  printers AV Specialist (A/V requirements): o Installation of all wireless projectors  o work with PC Specialist to ensure projectors can be accessed by appropriate computers Take time to think about how the work of the Specialists will be conducted.  • Understand how the occupancy rules affect the schedule timeline. o Since some locations are occupied at different times, handle the deployment and testing of  resources for each location separately (i.e. IT Area separate from Admin Area; Conference Room,  Meeting Room, etc.). • Make sure you satisfy all project specifications.  • The PC Specialist, Network Specialist and AV Specialist can be completing tasks concurrently and it is quite  possible that one specialist will have to wait while another specialist completes a task.  • The schedule must include a milestone for each block of tasks (Purchase Resources, Setup Equipment,  Deploy and Test). o Each resource (network servers, computers, projectors) must be purchased separately since  they will come from different vendors. The VOIP phones and third-party network printers are  already ordered and just need to be tested once they arrive. o Note: a single task may be used for a resource that is tested at a specific time (i.e. the testing of  all computers for administrative areas can be a single task; or the testing of all computer for the  2 computer labs can be a single task). However, a single task cannot be used when an action  must be done during different occupancy periods (i.e., testing of IT Area resources is a separate  task from testing of Administrative Areas, etc. since they take occupancy at different times.) • Task Actions must start with a verb and describe the action (i.e., Test VOIP phones)  o Milestones do not start with verbs and have a zero duration. • When creating the schedule, use your best guess in determining Duration. Use a single measure (i.e.,  min.) for all tasks. • Resources must include both the people (title of the IT Specialist) and specific resource(s).  • When creating Predecessors, point to the respective Task # (not the WBS number). It is not necessary  to include a task that is already a predecessor of another task (i.e. consider the following tasks: 1:  Order food, 2: Eat food, 3: Cleanup. The predecessor for 2 is 1. The predecessor for 3 is 2 (i.e. 2  already has a predecessor of 1). o Note: be careful about predecessors. Not only are they directly related to the tasks that  proceed them within a Milestone but they may be directly related to tasks within other  Milestones (example: network servers must be operational before other equipment can be  tested for network connectivity – look for other dependencies described above)

In Chapter 9, you read about four criteria that need to be met in order for contact between hostile groups to decrease prejudices. In this assignment, you will reflect on these criteria and develop a program to reduce prejudice. Compose an essay that includes the following components:an explanation of how ones tendency to perceive others using either the halo effect or the fundamental attribution error could contribute to developing prejudices,a description of the four criteria used to reduce prejudice for groups, anda discussion of the two criteria that you think are most important and why.You must also access the CSU Online Library to find a peer-reviewed empirical article that provides supporting evidence for at least one of the two criteria you selected as most important above. In the library database PsycARTICLES, put your search criteria in the Advanced Search, and then limit to the Research Methodology of Empirical Study. These specific kinds of studies are also located in peer-reviewed scholarly journals.After providing a brief overview of the articles main findings, address the following points.Describe a prejudice reduction program you could implement based on the two criteria that you previously selected as most important.Explain why you believe this program will be effective by drawing on research concerning prejudice and discrimination.Discuss how the program would be implemented. Be specific in who would be targeted, where this program would take place, and how you see the program being executed.This Psychology Research tutorial will help you conduct research.Your response should be at least two pages in length. You must use at least two academic sources as references for your paper, and at least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced, and paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. Please format your paper and all citations in accordance with APA guidelines.

Writea personal reflection paper explaining how what you have learned in class thissemester changes the way that you read or will read in the future.  In other words, explain what you have learnedthis semester. In your writing, try to avoid general terms (“I read more critically,””I notice the relationship between form and content more,” “Ithink more about gender,” etc). Your explanation will be a lot clearer andmore persuasive if you can illustrate it with specific examples.
Theformat is up to you. All that I ask is that you are thoughtful and clear.
Thingsthat you might want to do:
–         Describe your initial impressions ofa literary text we read this semester, and explain how the various theoreticaltexts that we read this semester made you see it differently, and then linkthat more broadly to other changes in how you understand literature.
–         Talk about how one of thetheoretical works we read seemed confusing at first, and explain how it startedto make sense to you, how it came to seem applicable to things we read inclass, and then to other things in the world.
–         You could talk about how a contrastbetween some of the texts that we read changed your perspective on a givenissue, or how the work we did this semester led to you developing strategiesfor reading texts.
–         You could reflect on the usefulnessor desirability of theory or various kinds of theory for literary studies.
Thingsyou should try to avoid:
–         Repeating things we said in class,explaining the theory to me. Save that for the exam. Here I want to learn aboutyour thoughts, not mine.
–         Summarizing the course or thevarious theories we learned. Again, I do not want to read “thematerial” but the way it has affected you and your thinking. 
These are just some examples of how you might approach thisquestion but it really is completely up to you. The idea is just to reflecton what you learned (or if you didn’t learn anything, why not?) in a thoughtfulway.
