Playground Project Plan
You have been asked to create a project plan to build a playground for children in your local community. Your project should have 10-15 tasks (therefore, your network will have 10-15 nodes).
Please perform the following for this project:
Develop a WBS for your project.

A retail store manager uses time series models to understand shopping trends. Time series models are particularly useful to track variables such as revenues, costs, and profits over time. Time series models help evaluate performance and make predictions.
Review the attached scatter plot of the store’s sales from 2010 through 2021 to answer the questions.
Respond to the following:
Time series decomposition seeks to separate the time series (Y) into 4 components: trend (T), cycle (C), seasonal (S), and irregular (I). What is the difference between these components?
The model can be additive or multiplicative. When do you use each?
Review the scatter plot of the exponential trend of the time series data. Do you observe a trend? If so, what type of trend do you observe?
What predictions might you make about the store’s annual sales over the next few years?

What implications might the 14 Points have for college education? State how the Baldrige Criteria supports Deming’s 14 points
W. Edwards Deming’s 14 Points
Create constancy of purpose for improving products and services.
Adopt the new philosophy.
Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality.
End the practice of awarding business on price alone; instead, minimize total cost by working with a single supplier.
Improve constantly and forever every process for planning, production and service.
Institute training on the job.
Adopt and institute leadership.
Drive out fear.
Break down barriers between staff areas.
Eliminate slogans, exhortations and targets for the workforce.

Remove barriers that rob people of pride of workmanship, and eliminate the annual rating or merit system.
Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement for everyone.
Put everybody in the company to work accomplishing the transformation.
These total quality management principles can be put into place by any organization to more effectively implement total quality management. As a total quality management philosophy, Dr. Deming’s work is foundational to TQM and its successor, quality management systems.

Class Discussion Post: “An Econ Lesson From a Science Teacher”
Summary of the Article:
The article “An Econ Lesson From a Science Teacher” highlights how a high school science teacher incorporates economic principles into classroom discussions in a practical and engaging way. The teacher uses real-world examples and simplified analogies to explain complex topics like supply and demand, scarcity, and opportunity cost. This approach helps students connect abstract economic concepts to everyday decisions, making economics more accessible and relatable. The article emphasizes the value of interdisciplinary teaching, showing how blending subjects like science and economics can foster a deeper understanding.
I found the use of real-life analogies particularly insightful. By framing economics in the context of daily experiences, students can grasp concepts that might otherwise feel abstract or irrelevant. For example, understanding opportunity cost becomes much clearer when students consider the trade-offs they make every day, like spending time on homework versus hanging out with friends.
I agree with the teacher’s approach because making economics relatable encourages student engagement and participation, which is crucial in high school settings. Other subjects, such as math or history, could also benefit from this type of interdisciplinary, real-world application to show students how concepts fit into their lives.
However, one potential drawback I noticed is that oversimplifying economic concepts could lead to gaps in understanding. For example, focusing too much on relatable examples might overlook the complexities involved in government policies or global trade. Economics involves a mix of behavioral, political, and financial factors that may be difficult to convey through simplified analogies alone.
I’ve experienced similar teaching techniques in my classes. For instance, one math teacher used budgeting scenarios to explain percentages and interest rates, which made the lesson more engaging and easier to follow. This kind of interdisciplinary teaching encourages students to apply what they learn in practical ways, making the subject feel relevant.
While this approach clearly has benefits, it might also hinder students in the long run if they are not introduced to more formal economic theories and terminology as they progress in their studies. A balance between simplicity and depth is necessary to ensure students are prepared for advanced coursework.
Do you think that simplifying economics for high school students risks creating misunderstandings about more complex economic principles, or does it offer the best foundation for deeper learning in the future? Why or why not?
