Evaluate a Case in Public Personnel Management
Have the task of analyzing a case study entitled, Louisiana and Vision 2020. In your evaluation, avoid summarizing the case. Instead, analyze the case critically and assess how it pertains to the readings. Remember, excellent analyses are a combination of critical and analytical thoughts connected to greater themes presented in the readings – and this is not an easy task.
Be sure to include the following personal reflections about the readings elements in the assignment:
• Provide a brief description of the questions/challenges you have regarding this week’s course readings.
• Explain why the case is noteworthy.
• Explain how it pertains to the assigned readings (i.e., complements, contradicts, extends the readings).
• Identify the implications for you as the newly hired Director of Personnel Administration for Public Organization X.
• Explain how these points or issues integrate with the material covered in the class thus far and explain their relevance to you.
As the analysis is completed, keep the following questions in mind:
• How might you coordinate such efforts across agencies, industries, and sectors? What state agencies might be tasked with implementing the workforce-training benchmarks?
• What roles might secondary and postsecondary education have in advancing toward the workforce-training benchmarks? How might community and technical colleges contribute to achieving these benchmarks?
• What benefits might you champion as ensuing from the achievement of workforce-training goals for the state? What, if any, other benchmarks might be affected by achieving a more educated and better-trained workforce in the state?

RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF SYRACUSE

RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF SYRACUSE

Images make arguments—sometimes explicitly but more often than not implicitly as well. And it’s not simply the

decisions made by photographers, advertisers, etc. that shape the way that arguments and communities are understood; the social, political, cultural, and historical contexts in which those arguments are produced and consumed also influence the way we make meaning of those images and arguments.

 

practice looking at visual texts and considering them in relation to our shared readings and your own research, with the goal of understanding these representations in new ways. We’ll raise questions and make analytical claims about the implications of those images and representations of the Syracuse campus and community, exploring the intentional and unintentional consequences those images have for their respective audiences and the society at large.
