Video Presentation Activity

Objective

In this learning activity, you will create a short video of one of your(solved)Excel models. You will use zoom to record an (up to 6-minute)video explaining the basics of your model (what it does and how and why it is useful to a user). Through this learning activity, you will engage in the following.

1.To practice and demonstrate effective communication skills by explaining the functionality of an Excel model, using current technology tools (Zoom). The ideal is to “sell” your model to your audience.

2.To demonstrate proper knowledge of building and using an Excel model and how it can be useful(i.e., what business problem does it solve, “what-if” functionality/analysis your model has). The more complex and interesting the model, the better. Simple models are not impressive.

The model you present should come from one of the homework problems you solved, NOT from the examples in the textbook. Presentations with more complex models will earn a higher grade. Presentations with simpler models will earn a lower grade. Think of your audience as your future boss, or a future client that is interested in using excel to improve their business operation or solve a business problem.

Points to think about:

•Best practice is to show your face while you record and present the audience can “connect” with you. Impress your audience with your presentation skills and with an interesting enough excel model that displays your superior Excel skills (not just basic skills).

•Practice going over your model several times, think about how you would want someone to show the model to you for maximum comprehension. Explain the benefits.

•Remember, your task is to show or“walk” your audience through your model, so they see the benefit of using it in their respective workplace(make assumptions as to the workplace). Emphasize explaining the “why you should use this model” that you are showing. Demonstrate the power of the “what-if” functionality your model provides the audience.

•Keep in mind you could share this video with toa potential future employer to display your superior knowledge of Excel and your ability to present information virtually. The more professional and interesting presentation, the better odds at landing the job.

problem 1 – Durango Mountain Bike Tours, parts A-D :”Durango Mountain Bike Tours’ ending cash balance as of December 31, 2020 was $10,000. Its expected cash collections and payments for the next six months are given in the following table.MonthCollectionsPaymentsJanuary$18,563$21,825February30,88135,100March51,07548,600April81,84468,344May109,68890,113June141,750107,100

a.Calculate the firm’s expected ending cash balance for each month.

b.Assuming that the firm must maintain an ending cash balance of at least $12,000, how much must they borrow during each month?

c.If the firm must pay 5% annual interest on its short-term borrowing, what are the ending cash balances for each month?

d.What are the ending cash balances if the firm uses any cash in excess of the minimum to pay off its short-term borrowing in each month?” 

1.To demonstrate mastery of building and using Excel models via a written, comprehensive report.

2.To demonstrate effective writing/communication skills by explaining the use and what–if functionality of an Excel model, using clear and concise writing and screenshots where appropriate.

3.To demonstrate proper report writing, including introduction, body, and conclusion, in the context of this financial modeling course using Excel, using APA guidelines.

In this course, you have learned about and created many Excel models(some simple and some complex). As a final component in this course, you will create a report to showcase 2ofthose models. You need to pick 2models (you solved/created)that you think would be appropriate to show a potential employer. The goal is to impress a potential employer by demonstrating you can create a complex and interesting model. Consider these recommendations:

•Use APA formatting guidelines (double–space, 12 size font, etc.)to make it easy to read, include a simple cover page.

•The report should include the following sections:o

Title page(use APA format)

Table of contents (brief, which models you chose)o

Introduction(what is the reader going to read in the body and why it is important)o

Body (model 1and model 2)

Conclusion(brief conclusion about your models and what you learned).•

For each model, you should include a description of model(what is it and what it does)

how the model might be useful to you, your company, a coworker, your boss, your client. Talk about and demonstrate the “what–if” functionality the model has. •You should include screenshots of your model to help the reader understand what you are describing(keep the reader engaged).•Keep in mind you could share this report to a potential future employer to display your knowledge of Excel and your ability to present information in writing.

•Include as much detail as you deemed appropriate for your audience (potential boss).

To obtain a good grade, I expect the following:

1.Complete/submit the project on time.

2.Take note of the recommendations above.

3.Does this report provide evidence of meeting objectives 1–3 above?

4.Does my report flow? Is it easy to read/follow?

5.Is my report professional-grade quality? Could a reader conclude I know how to build and use excel models?

Would I be OK sharing this report with potential employers/recruiters?

For this assessment, you will evaluate the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in Assessment 1 using best practices found in the literature.

NOTE: You are required to complete this assessment after Assessment 1 is successfully completed.

Care coordination is the process of providing a smooth and seamless transition of care as part of the health continuum. Nurses must be aware of community resources, ethical considerations, policy issues, cultural norms, safety, and the physiological needs of patients. Nurses play a key role in providing the necessary knowledge and communication to ensure seamless transitions of care. They draw upon evidence-based practices to promote health and disease prevention to create a safe environment conducive to improving and maintaining the health of individuals, families, or aggregates within a community. When provided with a plan and the resources to achieve and maintain optimal health, patients benefit from a safe environment conducive to healing and a better quality of life.

This assessment provides an opportunity to research the literature and apply evidence to support what communication, teaching, and learning best practices are needed for a hypothetical patient with a selected health care problem.

You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Cultural Competence activity prior to completing this assessment. Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference between basic and proficient assessment.

  • Design patient-centered health interventions and timelines for a selected health care problem.
• Competency 2: Collaborate with patients and family to achieve desired outcomes.
  • Describe priorities that a care coordinator would establish when discussing the plan with a patient and family member, making changes based upon evidence-based practice.
• Competency 3: Create a satisfying patient experience.
  • Use the literature on evaluation as a guide to compare learning session content with best practices, including how to align teaching sessions to the Healthy People 2030 document.
• Competency 4: Defend decisions based on the code of ethics for nursing.
  • Consider ethical decisions in designing patient-centered health interventions.
• Competency 5: Explain how health care policies affect patient-centered care.
