I completed my PhD. at the University of Adelaide, School of Computer Science and submitted my thesis on the 20th May. In other words, the title Dr. should follow soon.
This cover letter introduces my very relevant experience, which is a great advantage to your organization in any of the roles above.
I have 14+ years relevant lecturing and research experience. In addition, my unique academic, computer science portfolio, as well as lecturing experience in project, business and strategic management, dynamically contribute to your institutions’ focus areas and student cohort. My New Zealand lecturing experience as well as course development covers most of your curriculum and as a result, I may successfully contribute and advise in this regard.
I have expertise integrating aspects of information technology, computer science; project management (client, shareholder and student interactions covering all SDLC phases), which converge in a comprehensive domain of disciplines. I present innovative, cross-disciplinary solutions to unknown problem areas.
I am equally comfortable with a full lecturing role, course development, or research responsibilities.
As a sessional lecturer in Software Engineering at the University of Adelaide, I achieved twice a higher rating than the University’s, or School of Computer Science.
• I was granted a Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) score of +89%.
This essentially shows my ability and success lecturing diverse student
The religion of Scientology is a very controversial topic all over the world and is even considered a cult by many. Those who chose to participate in the beliefs and practices of this faith form their own unique culture with other like-minded individuals. The purpose of my research is to gain insight into the world of Scientology by closely examining the lifestyles and opinions of its followers. What are the lives of Scientologists like and how does it affect them psychologically?
This course provides the foundation for successful project planning, organization, and implementation within the realm of information technology. The course uses real-world examples and identifies common mistakes and pitfalls in project management. Topics covered include project scoping, estimating, budgeting, scheduling and staffing, tracking and controlling, and software tools for project management.
The purpose of this memo is to explain how I adapted my letter and resume to a specific job. I initially started by browsing online through the website that I am familiar with such as monster.com and careerbuilder.com.
While pursuing my Master’s degree in education, I developed all of the skills necessary to design and implement a variety of instructional materials. Through my work experience I learned how to infuse that knowledge with technology to meet the needs of a twenty-first century learning environment.
In this week’s discussion board, we learned about several project management tools and how they are used to facilitate the successful implementation of IT related projects. Additionally, we learned what happens when IT projects fall behind schedule, the reasons for the delays and if these reasons will hinder complex software implementations in the future.
In the current business environment, the demand for project managers is ever growing. In short, project management is a provisional project constrained by time, cost and scope (A guide to the project management body of knowledge, 2013). Between the immense organization, optimization, and communication assets skilled project management brings to a project, it is easy to see why project management is a booming field of study. Furthermore, project management can be both financially and personally rewarding when long term milestones and goals come to fruition.

I am writing to express my interest in serving as a course developer for the College of Health and Human Services at Penn State. I have been developing and teaching courses online since 2005 and have held academic appointments at the University of Pittsburgh, Wayne State University and Virginia Tech. University. I am certified in instructional design through Indiana University and my areas of specialization are social psychology, human development, health and wellness and multi-cultural education.
Students often ask about the use of project management software applications in this course. In the past we required the use of MS Project for this course but removed it as a requirement when we rewrote the course. The reason we removed it was that MS Project has a very steep learning curve for all but the most basic functions. The software is very expensive and is not web-based so it requires installation on
The PDQ project will take a detail process that will help launch the appropriate software technology along with existing processes in order to implement new cutting edge innovations. Although technology is not the only leverage for improving project management, modern technology is an important element (Kendall & Austin, 2013). Today, businesses depend on technology to produce more in less time and with minimal resources making modern technology a critical component to a successful business. In today’s high tech world, it is important to develop and execute effective project management strategies that will place the company at a competitive level. Companies must continue to work on projects that will drive their business to innovate and change for the better (Shenhar & Dvir, 2997).
Project management is the discipline of using policies and procedures to manage a project from creation to competition. The intent of this paper is to assess the role of a project manager and determine if I am well suited for a career in project management. To achieve this goal, I will be discussing the following areas: job description, general career path, education requirements, salary, career outlook, and the pros and cons. I will also be interviewing a colleague that currently working as a project manager to gain a better understanding of typical duties associated with the role.
It feels like every day, countless news stations, websites, and social media users break the tragic story of yet another mass shooting in the US, a fact that is shared by almost no other developed countries. Clearly there is something anomalous about the U.S., why else would the U.S. be the only country where this regularly happens? The answer lies in one key difference between the United States and other developed countries, its policies on gun control and ownership. The 2nd amendment to the United States Constitution states, essentially, that every US citizen has the right to own guns, and that the United States Government may not infringe upon those rights. The truth of the matter is that controlling American Citizen’s access to firearms is the only solution to the undeniable issue of mass shootings and gun related homicides, a fact that is backed up by the example of several other developed countries, in which guns are controlled and incidents of gun homicide and mass murder are far less common than they are in America. Controlling guns in America is a task that has been halted numerous times by the antiquated constitutional stance on American armament, and is the only sensible option for lessening the atrocious tragedies that are seen so often on U.S. soil.
The Death penalty is a practice that is getting to be an expensive punishment. Some may argue that it is cheaper to send people to death penalty. The fact of the matter is that is not true and this is why. Sentencing criminals to life without parole is now getting to be cheaper than sentencing them to the death penalty. The online article “Cost of the Death Penalty” reports “Reviewing 15 state studies of death penalty costs conducted between 2000 and 2016, the study found that, across the country, seeking the death penalty imposes an average of approximately $700,000 more in case-level costs than not seeking death.” The $700,000 more is quite significant. One reason as stated by “Cost of the Death penalty” is the people on death penalty trials

This paper includes an outline of a presentation, command terms and definitions, examples of graphs and a Work Breakdown Schedule (WBS) on project management, and presented to the class at Crescent View High School. The focus will be on how to plan, schedule, monitor, and report on projects. Also included are the project management methodologies, tools and techniques used. The discussion to the class will begin with an opening statement that provides an overview of project management, terms and definitions, and an example of buying a house utilizing project management to manage activities.
