Thank you for agreeing to be a mentor for a College student..docxtodd191
Thank you for agreeing to be a mentor for a College student. Our professionally-focused academic programs count on professionals such as yourself to help guide and open our students up to incredibly valuable real-world experiences. This guide was created to help you understand baseline expectations of being a mentor, and to provide specific contact information should you have any questions.
Baseline Expectations of Mentorship
You are being asked to work with a student in a professional setting that you are familiar with, and help them: 1) gain valuable real-world experience in an area of their choosing, and 2) help the student successfully reach a set of predefined Essential Learning Competencies, or learning goals. The student approaching you is enrolled in the course MGMT-470: Business Management Capstone which is the final course in the B.S. in Business Management degree program at College. This is their culminating academic experience and for most, their last course before graduation. We’re asking students to utilize their learning in the program and prior experiences to develop a capstone project that proves their competence in at least five of the aforementioned essential business competency areas.
The Learning Contract
These essential competencies are defined in a Learning Contract the student will fill out with your help. By the time the student approaches you s/he will have anywhere from 4-6 weeks to complete their fieldwork experience in-full. The final product of their fieldwork experience is a written capstone paper which will detail their experience, learning, and competence.
First, the student should have approached you with an initial idea they are interested in, and that you are familiar with. This idea may be a bit vague at first but, together, you can work to hone-down the idea into an actionable plan. There are a series of steps we are asking you to take with the student over the next few weeks, and to also sign a Learning Contract with the student (which will be provided).
Second, In the Learning Contract you will clearly identify the following (the Learning Contract has a pre-filled example if you need some clarity):
1. The five Essential Competencies the student wishes to focus on (the complete list and explanation of each competency will be provided to you);
2. The Learning Objectives to reach those competencies (what, specifically, the student wants [and needs] to learn);
3. The Strategies and Resources required to meet the learning objectives (how, specifically, the student will learn? What will they be doing?);
4. The Evidence to be presented as proof of their learning (how will they demonstrate that they’ve learned?); and
5. The Criteria for Evaluation and means of validating their learning (how will the student’s performance be evaluated?)
Third, please know that strategies and resources really come down to identifying a set of tasks and/or actions that you (or someone you appoint) can walk the stud.
We are providing the assignment help for all the subjects Globally. Our task specialists realize the fear that you experience when it comes to your Assignment Help For All Subjects. We providing solutions, PPTs, excel sheets and many more.

An In-Depth Exploration of Natural Language Processing: Evolution, Applicatio...DharmaBanothu
Natural language processing (NLP) has
recently garnered significant interest for the
computational representation and analysis of human
language. Its applications span multiple domains such
as machine translation, email spam detection,
information extraction, summarization, healthcare,
and question answering. This paper first delineates
four phases by examining various levels of NLP and
components of Natural Language Generation,
followed by a review of the history and progression of
NLP. Subsequently, we delve into the current state of
the art by presenting diverse NLP applications,
contemporary trends, and challenges. Finally, we
discuss some available datasets, models, and
evaluation metrics in NLP.
This is an overview of my current metallic design and engineering knowledge base built up over my professional career and two MSc degrees : - MSc in Advanced Manufacturing Technology University of Portsmouth graduated 1st May 1998, and MSc in Aircraft Engineering Cranfield University graduated 8th June 2007.

2. Executive Summary:
Through this project, we aim to use the system analysis and design methodologies and apply them
on a project idea in real life. This project idea can essentially be something which proves to be of
great help for a given community of some people or even for a large segment of people sharing
common interests. In analyzing the requirements of the system and accommodating them
accordingly with our system, we got the opportunity to verse ourselves with the nitty-gritty of the
Unified Modelling language and its applications.
The underlying idea beneath this project is to propose a system which assists the freshmen in a
university to choose courses. Yes, that’s how crude the idea is. The idea, titled Course Buddy can be
thought of in terms of an application which is meant to help the newly arriving students in any given
university with the choice selection for their courses.
The motivation behind this project idea was quite simple. As first year graduate students, a lot of
students embark upon the journey to pursue higher education but they might not necessarily have
enough connections and acquaintances needed to help them in choosing the courses during the
initial semesters. There’ a rather untidy process of information flow that takes place in which, a
person hears review for a given course from some other person who in turn might have heard it
from a third person. A lot of information gets lost in the process or if not lost, then fabricated.
There’s no first hand source of review a fresher can get regarding any given course or a set of
courses which can assist him/her in choosing the course during registration. Registrations being a
matter of serious importance and the fact of this idea being as real as could get is what motivated to
go ahead with it in the first place.
Some of the features we propose which Course Buddy would be offering and which would benefit a
fresher are:
1. Course spread: The first and foremost advantage and a functionality is that the user gets the
spread of courses which he or she is desperate for. Spread implies the distribution of courses
one can opt for say in the very first semester depending on his or her requirements or
preferences. For instance, a fresher with the intent of wanting to finish the course in 18 months
with an intended specialization of business intelligence would most probably get the suggestion
via. The application to go for 4 courses in the first semester and so on.
2. Course reviews/ratings: Another important functionality is reviews given by the Alumni. These
are the alumni of the university who sign up for Course Buddy and update their details which
mostly are related to the course they took in the past and then, they review the course and the
professor. This is meant to help the freshmen on the other side of course buddy who would
then have the power to view the reviews of the courses they are interested in and would get the
information first hand.
4. 4 | P a g e
Thus, as one can easily interpret, there are not existing web-platforms or application-portals developed
to heed such problems faced by the students and accordingly assist them out. Through Course Buddy,
we intend to propose a one-stop platform to bring together the freshman students and the alums, the
latter helping the former.
3. Problem Statement:
A strong problem statement must describe the issues which need to be addressed by the
problem which in our case are the hardships faced by the new students while enrolling for
courses. In registering for a course without a prior knowledge of the reviews or quality of the
coursework, there are high chances that the student might end up disliking any specifics about
the course-be it coursework, teaching methodology, style of the professor, etc. which
ultimately affects his or her grade in one way or the other.
Thus, in order to address such issues, we decided to put together a team to propose a solution
and to subsequently model it. Based on the student’s preferences, the system would suggest
the relevant course spread he or she could opt for. On top of this, the student would also get to
view the reviews to these courses which would be separately inputted by the alumni side of the
application. Our client is the entire student fraternity enrolled in the Jindal School of
Management for MS in Information Technology and Management. The scope and the limitation
form an important part of the statement which would be discussed in the forthcoming sections.
4. Business Need:
From a business’s perspective, the idea to develop such a platform arises from a wide variety of
needs. These needs are jotted down keeping in mind the business idea of our project and the
fact that how important they are should this be implemented on a business-level:
● Customer grievances is the very first point. The customer in this case is the UTD student
community and should this project not be implemented on a business scale; it is bound
to generate a lot of grievances among the customers. The customers will show
dissatisfaction because their demand isn’t being met.
● Optimization/Improving the current system: Another business need which triggers the
development of our proposed system is the need to make improvements with the
current system. The current system isn’t much efficient which is why the need of
development of a new system arises. Current system doesn’t assist the customers in
selection of courses thus requiring improvements.
● Customer relationships: One of the most crucial parameters integral for longevity of a
business is the kind of relationship it is striking with the customer. A happy customer
who gets the recommended course suggestions and the review corresponding to the
5. 5 | P a g e
course as well as other integral details pertaining to internships and specializations is
bound to leave a positive recommendation. This builds a long-term relationship
between the product and the customer thus enhancing the outputs of a business.
5. Objectives/Proposed Solution:
At this point, having been delivered the business needs, summary and the problem statement, we move
forward to articulating all the objectives:
The system CourseBuddy aims at successfully accomplishing the following objectives:
Objective Description
1. Spread of courses Based on the data inputted by the user, the application would suggest
him/her the course spread.
The process followed to accomplish this objective will be based on the
preferences given by the user.
The application asks the user his or her choices of
1. Intended specialization
2. Interest in certification
3. Intended course length, etc.
2. Course Reviews The alumni network who will be linked to the platform will be asked by
course buddy to submit a list of courses and in parallel, they can also review
the course they took by writing a review and/or rating the professor.
This is an important objective since these reviews would be looked up by the
freshmen students and would help them in choosing their courses and
accordingly going ahead with the registration
3. Providing an
attractive interface
for Academic Bio
Another important objective which the CourseBuddy application needs to
address is the academic bio.
The academic bio of a fresher signing into the application will include his or
her field of study, his or her department and some other parameters which
would then be taken as input by course buddy in order to suggest the course
spread.
4. Integrating the
platform
Finally, the main objective stands as integrating the platform bringing
together the fresh students and the alumni.
This is our final course buddy platform which would be performing the task
on retrieving the data inputted by the alumni and would be making it
available for viewing by the fresh students.
6. 6 | P a g e
6. Data Collection (Gathering the Data):
In order to sustain the requirements of CourseBuddy, there are various sources from where the
proposed system can gather the data.
Below, we have listed down all the data sources which we have used in gathering the
requirements for our proposed system:
● The ITM Course Brochure: Should the system be implemented; we would be needing a
lot of information on the backend of CourseBuddy. This information would be the
details of the courses, primarily the:
1. Course Name/ Course Title
2. Details of the sections of the class
3. Details of the professors teaching different sections
Thus, in order to get this data, we would be referring the ITM Course Brochure and that’s our
very first source.
● LinkedIn (data for alumni) – In addition to pulling the data for the courses from the
brochure, if we were to extend the system, we could also pull a lot of information
pertaining to the alumni from their LinkedIn profiles. This data would then be used to be
inputted into the course buddy system and the freshman can then lookup the details for
the alumni thus getting the questions like – Did the alumni taking this particular course
manage to get an internship? How has he rated this course? How helpful did he think
the professor was? – answered.
Thus, these would be the two primary sources of data should the proposed system be
implemented.
7. Scope:
The scope of implementing such a system by means of which, a student can get the first-hand
reviews of courses which he or she intends to take will definitely be numerous:
● The primary scope of this proposed system is to help the students in multiple ways in
shortlisting of their courses.
● The method to achieve that is to bring together a network of alumni and fresh students
and to use the former to help the later
● Since this is a one of a kind model and hasn’t been implemented previously, this model
is open to a lot of improvements that can be made over time. Features such as
recording the intended specialization of a student, his or her academic bio, and
7. 7 | P a g e
intended length of term are among functionalities that can be extensively implemented
in finally suggesting the course spread.
8. Functional Specifications for Course Buddy:
● Recording the previous course work, internship details, specialization details, course
reviews inputted by the alumni in real time.
● Ability to take the data as input from the freshmen regarding the academic bio, all in
real time.
● One of the additional functionalities is that the alumni gets the power to review and
rate any given course and the proposed system has the robustness to deliver it in real
time.
● Flexibility to accommodate the changes that occur in JSOM course structure and new
courses.
● Flexibility and robustness to accommodate new departments if any in the database
design.
● Additional benefit to the Students from the reviews and ratings of the courses and
instructors along with the course spread.
9. Business Process Model Notation (BPMN):
In representing the business process model notation for our proposed system, we include a
total of four pools. The pools are as follows:
1. The very first will be the pool for the student/fresher who joins the university and
signs up for the application and wants to lookup the courses.
2. Secondly, at the heart of our proposed system is our application, CourseBuddy
through which the entire information flow takes place.
3. Thirdly, we have the Alumni pool which is necessary for CourseBuddy to store in the
course reviews and other core details and then present them to the student in the
very first pool.
4. Lastly, we have a pool for the JSOM website which is needed because that’s where
we are getting the data related to the courses from. The details to the professors,
sections of the courses, etc. would be looked up from the ITM website.
