Assessment TaskThe purpose of this assessment is to assess your written skills in both an academic and business context. It will also provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate relevant professional skills that employers will expect to see from potential employees. You are to prepare a briefing report addressing a current operations management process/topic that is an issue for the customer. Within the report, you are to provide evidence of your investigations into the issue, identify the challenges that the issue poses and propose relevant solutions/recommendations that are relevant and appropriate to the evidence presented.Your target audience will be management personnel of a local SME. Within your briefing report, they will want to see evidence of current research, both industry related as well as relevant academic research. When writing your briefing report for the company that you have identified, you must ensure that: Within your report there is also a focus within the field/industry that you are studying as part of your course (i.e. the company and report must be related to Operations Management).
The briefing report is written in such a way that it will be of interest and relevance to the sector(s) as a whole.
The company you choose is not one that you have used within previous assessments, nor an issue you have previously investigated, for any other Level 4 or 5 assessments.
Assessment Information
Students will be required to investigate and research additional information to that covered in lectures and seminars in order to make practical recommendations and demonstrate application of relevant concepts and theories. This means that you will be expected to provide evidence from a range of sources. You will also need to identify an issue that is substantive enough (i.e. a major operational issue) for you to research and make credible & relevant recommendations about.Formative assessment opportunities will be provided during the seminars through the completion of case study exercises, presentations, draft online submissions etc. This must be your own work; i.e. you cannot submit work that is the same as other students or those that you may be working with for other assessments. If you do so, then any such work will be subject to our academic misconduct guidelines & proceduresThe briefing report should be written in the 3rd person.At a minimum, the briefing report should contain the following sections:
Background Information (company)
Identified issue (industry & academic research into issue)
Challenge(s) facing company (as a result of issue or potential issue)
Conclusions
RecommendationsSpecifically you will need to include the following:
An understanding of how to identify company stakeholders and their requirements
An understanding of how to apply and improve quality standards within the company
A description of how a quality audit should be conducted within the company
An understanding of how to promote continuous improvement & change within the companyDepending on the nature of the issue you identify and how you want to present the information, you may feel that you want to include additional sections.You must cite your sources within the briefing paper as well as at the end (in the Harvard method of referencing)

What is the UDHR and how does it apply to to Detroit.

You will have full access to my online university student home. This is a lot more than a simple “essay” it involves SSPS Stastics, research, data analysis and an Empirical report. It is a bit time consuming. You need to have SSPS software in your computer.Instructions (available in my online university as well as all the sources you will need).Experimental mini-project reportCollect and analyse data on the topic of change blindness, and write up your findings as an empirical report.Word limit: 2000 words (excluding title, abstract, reference list and any appendices)TMA 02 schedule
This is a suggested schedule for preparing for TMA 02. Students may choose to approach the task in a different way, but this is the module teams suggested approach.During Week 10: Participate in experiment.
By Week 11: Read over TMA 02 guidance (found in Week 15) and conduct your literature search.
By Week 13: Have collected the data and downloaded your data set.
By Week 14: Have conducted your statistical analysis and considered the results.
During Weeks 14 and 15: Work through the study planner and your complete report.There are three stages to this TMA: data collection, data analysis, and report writing. In the following sections you will find guidance on how to complete each of these stages. Make sure that you read all of this guidance before beginning your assignment.Relevant materials
The following resources will be useful in completing your report:Book 2, Chapter 3 and the Week 13 activities provide a useful background on research into change blindness.
Book 2, Chapter 2 may also be useful, particularly the discussion on different models of attention.
In terms of methods, the Week 14 activities provide clear guidance on report writing.
You will need to identify a minimum of two relevant peer-reviewed psychology journal articles that you have found through an independent literature search. You have already been provided with guidance and advice on searching for relevant literature, which you can revisit in the Week 2 section Asking questions about the literature, but you will need to think carefully about the search terms that you use.
In the following notes, you will find a guide from the module team as to what topic-based information you could include in your Introduction.
Stage 1: Data collection
The Experiment
The experiment is designed to explore the phenomenon of change blindness, using the flicker paradigm (which you read about in Book 2, Chapter 3). The experiment is identical to the one you took part in during Week 10, and is designed to investigate whether the type of change made to a scene influences how quickly the change is detected. You can access the experiment here. Participants will view sixteen everyday scenes. Each scene represents an experimental trial. In each trial, two almost identical images appear one after the other, with an intervening blank screen. The images and the blank screen appear for 0.25 seconds each, providing the experience of the screen flickering (you learnt about the flicker method in the Week 13 attentional blink activity). Participants must view the images presented and try to detect whether any change has occurred in the scene. If they believe they have seen a change, they should use the mouse to click on the image to indicate that they have seen it. When a participant clicks the mouse their reaction time is automatically recorded.The aim of this experiment is to see whether change blindness varies according to the type of change that is made to a scene. To test this, three different change types have been made to the stimuli. Only one change is made per trial, and each type of change appears four times. The possible changes present in the trials fall into three different categories:Within-category change: an object is replaced with another that belongs to the same category (for example, in a kitchen scene, a wooden chopping board might change to a plastic chopping board).
Congruent change: an object is replaced with another that is in keeping with the scene (that is, you would expect to see it in that context), but does not belong to the same category as the original object (for example, a hole punch in an office scene might change to a stapler).
Incongruent change: an object is replaced with an unexpected item (for example, in a dining room scene, a plate might change to a watering can).
The order of these trials is randomised and all participants view and respond to the same clips. The reaction times for responses are recorded to enable comparison of mean reaction time across the different types of change.To make sure that participants are completing the task correctly and not simply claiming to detect changes in all of the images presented, a safeguard (or control) has been built into the experiment. While three-quarters of the trials have a change occurring in them, a quarter of them do not. Although you do not need this no change data for analysis, the module team will use this information to identify any data that is likely to be unreliable: the data from participants who consistently (and incorrectly) identified changes in these no change trials will be removed by the module team from the data set, so that you can be confident your data is accurate and reliable.
Ethical considerations
Prior to collecting your data, you need to ensure that you are aware of the ethics of this study. You can do this by looking back to resources you have already encountered. For example, you learned about the need for informed consent and clear debriefing in DE100 and you can revisit those resources here Online Activity 8.1: Research ethics; Online Activity 15.4: DE100 project Ethics.Specifically, it is important that participants are made aware of the purpose of the study, understand what they are being asked to do, and are aware that they can withdraw from the experiment at any point. After completing the study it is important that participants are told what the experiment was seeking to investigate and how their data will be used. You should also give them an opportunity to ask any questions they may have. These, and the other ethical considerations you have previously learned about, are important safeguards to protect individuals participating in research. You may also wish to consult the British Psychological Societys Code of Human Research Ethics which all psychologists need to follow for further information. As this study has already obtained clearance from the ethics committee, there is no need for you to request clearance again.Once you are clear on the experimental procedure and have the link to the experiment, you are ready to collect data from one participant, following the guidance provided below.First, recruit a participant (anyone over the age of 18 except another DE200 student; for example, a friend, relative or colleague) and gain informed consent from them, using the form provided. You should also have the debriefing material available for the participant to see once they have completed the experiment.
The experiment has already been built for you, enabling you to easily collect data from your participant. Instructions for participants are included in the experiment, but you will also need to explain the procedure to your participant before the experiment begins and answer any questions they may have.
You need to understand the rationale behind the experiment and the choice of variables, so that you can answer any questions your participant might have, both before and after they have taken part in the experiment. This information will also be needed in your final report, so it is important that you are aware of these fine details at the data collection stage.
Participant data will be automatically saved and added to the existing data set. The data collected this year will be used by DE200 students completing this assignment next year.
Stage 2: Data analysis
You will be analysing data for this experiment that was collected by last years DE200 students. The module team have screened the data and divided the overall data set into multiple subsets of data. Every student is allocated a unique data set to analyse. Each data set contains data from 250 participants who completed the experiment, and is provided in a pre-formatted SPSS data file (note: you need to have SPSS installed on your computer to open this file).Different students will receive different subsets of data, so dont panic if your data set looks different from someone elses. You must use your specific data set to carry out your analysis.To download your data set, click on the button below. Remember to save the file in an easily accessible place. For further guidance on downloading your data set, see the guide available under the Assessment tab.The data links will only become available for download in Week 10 of the module presentation after students have participated in the experiment that is used for TMA 02Next, decide which analysis is most appropriate for your data set. If you are unsure about which test to use, then look back at the guidance you were given last week as well as the statistical decision tree. Remember to consider:how many independent variables (IVs) you have
how many levels your IV(s) have
whether all participants completed all conditions or whether there were different groups of participants.
Once you have decided on the relevant statistical test, carry out your analysis. If you need to revise this analysis in SPSS, go back to the tutorial entitled How to run the test in SPSS in the relevant study week for a step-by-step guide. Once you have completed your analysis, make sure you save both the data file and the output file. You will need to submit your output file along with your completed report.Next, you need to interpret your SPSS output. For guidance on how to do this, look back to the tutorial in the relevant study week, and the section entitled What does it tell you? which explains which parts of the output are important for interpreting your data.Once you have identified the relevant output from your analysis you can think about putting together the results section of your report. Again, go back to the relevant study week section entitled How do we write it up? for guidance on how to report your findings. Remember also to look back to the Week 14 materials and activities that guide you through writing up your results section. Before writing your report, it would also be worthwhile to note down:your IV(s), with levels
your DV
your hypothesis.
You can then note down the relevant statistics from your SPSS output. By putting these details together now, you will have a clear reminder of what you are investigating and what your results are prior to formally writing them up. Remember to also note down the demographic information on the participants in your unique data set (that is, gender, age, and so on). Look back to the activity in Week 4 for further guidance on this.Stage 3: Writing your report
When writing your report, you may find it easier to write the sections in a different order to how they will be finally presented. For example, you may wish to write your Methods section first, followed by the Results, before writing the Introduction and Discussion and finishing with the Abstract. By breaking the report down in this way, you may find the task more manageable, and it will ensure you focus on the specific details required for each section.Writing your Introduction a short guide to content
As this is the first mini project report on DE200, the module team have provided below a list of topic-based information to include in the Introduction to your report, in the order in which it should appear. Remember, your introduction should be written in prose and serve as a justification for your research (see Week 14 for more information about this). In this case, you should:1. Start by defining change blindness, using Section 3 of Book 2, Chapter 3.What is it?
Why is it important?
What does it tell us about perception?
2. Outline key research on change blindness using Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the chapter and Activity 1 in Week 13. The research you should draw on includes:Rensink et als. (1997) Flicker method and the attentional blink. Briefly explain the procedure and their findings. Rensink et al. claim that full attention, and high level interest, is needed to detect changes. Their findings show differences in reaction times for detection of central and marginal changes.
ORegan et als. (1999) mudsplash study. Briefly describe the procedure and findings. Removing the attentional blink meant visual memory was not overwritten, but change blindness still remained. The researchers suggest that the mudsplashes made items more salient, therefore capturing attention. As with Rensink et al., central changes were detected faster than marginal changes.
Simons and Levins (1998) door study. Briefly explain the procedure and findings. What does this tell us about attention and the position of the change in the scene? Here you could also link to the models of attention discussed in Section 3.3 of Chapter 3 and/or Lavies (1995) perceptual load theory in Section 2.3.4 of Book 2, Chapter 2.
Nisbett (2003) and Miyamoto et als. (2006) research on cultural environment and salient or contextual changes to a scene. Briefly explain the procedure and findings. If cultural environment can affect change blindness, what does that tell us about how individuals deploy their attention?
3. Explain the particular issue examined in the current study.Previous research has considered the position of the change as well as the impact of individual differences on change detection.
This study varies the type of change presented: congruent, incongruent or within category.
What can varying the type of change tell us? Think about what previous research has identified regarding salience and context.
4. Formally state your hypothesis or research question.Remember that you also need to include research from at least two independently sourced, peer-reviewed journal articles. You can decide whether this information is included in the Introduction or in the Discussion (or both, where relevant).
Writing your Methods section a quick note on procedure
As part of TMA 02, you will be given a data set that contains data from 250 participants who completed the experiment you took part in during Week 10. You need to write up your report (including the Methods section) as if you collected all of this data yourself. This means that your Participants section should refer to information about all of the participants in your data set, and not just the participant you recruited as part of the project. Likewise, your Procedure section should describe what steps all of the participants in your data set went through when completing the study, not just what your particular participant did. Remember, this section should contain enough relevant information to allow other researchers to replicate the study. Week 14 offers a lot of information about how to write up a Methods section of a report, so make sure you revisit this material for guidance.
