Bioprinting Tissues… Would you print a tissue if you could?
By now, you know that cells make up tissues and that these cells work together to perform a specific function. The cells that make up most tissues are constantly being replaced and repaired, mainly because those cells have a good blood supply and are in contact with nutrients and oxygen. What happens those nutrients and oxygen is cut off? Those cells cannot get what they need to proliferate, right? In turn, that tissue suffers and perhaps the organ suffer and might even begin to shut down. A person might get put on a donor list. Well, what if we could use biotechnology to use and “print” organs? Crazy, right…
Students will watch the video presented by TED Ed titled “How to print 3D human tissue” and then answer the following in your response:
summarize the video in your own words (summary should be a paragraph consisting of five [5] sentences)
if you were in need of a donor organ, meniscus, or large blood vessel like an artery, would you accept one that was bioprinted? why or why not?
what are the pros and cons of bioprinted structures including organs?
what is future for bioprinting, if any?
Responses should be at least two to three paragraphs, each containing no fewer than five (5) well written sentences.

I thought the Church of Bones was fascinating and a beautiful piece of art. I can see why some would cringe at the thought, but I think knowing that the deceased requested to be placed in the church helps a little bit. This was the final resting place for many that were already buried in a cemetery. But due to overcrowding and mass deaths, they needed space for new burials. I think it is a unique yet respectful way to still honor the dead. I also found the Black Plague interesting but also disturbing. It’s scary to know that the bacteria is locked away in a lab somewhere. Watching the video, it still didn’t seem like enough PPE to be handling something so destructive. I thought it was amazing that Dr. O’Brien was able to discover that some were resistant to the Black Plague due to a specific gene.
The PBS documentary was also hard to watch but it’s evident why it is so important to have end of life discussions with family members and loved ones. It’s not something I would want to have to make decisions for during a very difficult time.

Instructions
In this course, we look at a variety of different human resource theories and styles. We also look at the different kinds of perspectives on ethical issues and how they fit into HRM. You are required to write a paper on a HRM topic. You will choose the topic you are most interested in. Choose a topic, and expand on it.
Some examples are given below, but it is recommended that you choose to write on a topic you have already encountered or you have thought about previously. Of necessity, the instructions for this assignment are somewhat vague. Each student will have to explore different resources and will need to develop an individual approach to the subject.
Identify, specifically, the strengths of your topic and what some weaknesses are. Drawing on various sources, explain the details of your topic. Assume I know nothing about this topic and share your research on it with me. Why is it important? What have you learned? What are the Pro’s and Con’s? When would this be used? What is the history on this topic?
Requirement: Using the terms, concepts, and theories learned in this course, write a 5 to 7 page (Arial or Times New Roman 12 pitch font with double-spaced lines) essay focusing on one specific Human Resource topic that we have studied over the past 7 weeks. You must also include a title page and reference page. The 5-7 pages do not include the title page/reference pag

Human resource professionals receive an extensive number of email communications from employees and their managers. To better manage workloads and provide prompt responses, some companies use a shared HR inbox. The shared HR inbox consolidates email communications into a single, shared mailbox. This allows several HR professionals to monitor employee and manager communications and inquiries to provide prompt responses. HR inboxes are usually easy to identify because they use email addresses such as ****************** **************************** and so forth.
For this assignment, reassume your role as an HR professional at a U.S. company. You have been assigned to manage the shared HR inbox and respond to emails. While monitoring the inbox, you receive the following emails from department managers:
Dear HR: An employee in my department just returned from FMLA with a note indicating he cannot come back to full duty. Can I fire him?
Dear HR: The HR department just sent out a memo to employees about a policy change to holidays. I understand we provided more time off, but the team is totally confused about floating holidays vs. company-mandated holidays. What can you do to clarify your memo?
In addition, you receive the following email from an employee:
Dear HR: My supervisor is requiring me to take sexual harassment training again, which I took last year. Why do I have to take the training again?
Directions
To complete this assignment, write a response to each of the three emails above as an HR professional. You must address the employees’ questions by referencing applicable state and federal FLSA and FMLA laws. Your overall writing style must have a tone and format appropriate for email communication in a business environment.
Specifically, your responses must address the following rubric criteria:
FMLA Return: Develop questions to gain the information needed to respond to the manager’s question.
Policy Change Memo: Explain the difference between a floating holiday and a company-mandated holiday.
Training Requirements: Explain the importance of regular mandatory training on sexual harassment. Identify risks to the organization if employees do not complete regular compliance training.
Additionally, be sure that overall, your general writing style aligns with the following:
Tone: Discuss human resource roles and responsibilities using an engaging tone and encouraging questions.
Format: Communicate in a clear and concise writing style, offering information in high-level, small pieces.

In the last module, you identified an organization or company to conduct an evaluation of its performance management system and interviewed an HR professional or a line manager about the performance management process at your selected organization, asking their opinion about the organization’s performance management process currently in place. During this module, you are to submit your 2- to 3-page paper summarizing your interview results. (Remember that some of this information can used to help you respond to future assignments.) 
How are performance measures chosen and/or identified? 
Is the performance management process linked to the organization’s strategy? If so, how? If not, why not? 
What are the different sources of information used in the performance management process? 
What is the time frame for the performance management process (including any initial meetings and follow-up sessions)? 
Is there a clear relationship between performance management and the organization’s financial goals? 
In your opinion, how could the performance management process be improved?
