Submission date: TBA (Hard Copy)
Background to the company:
The Singa Animal Hospital has been providing the highest quality companion animal health care for over 50 years. From the very beginning they have strived to offer the very best and up-to-date care possible to their patients, while trying never to forget the art of medicine as well as the science. To this end the company have been a certified member of the prestigious American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) since 1959. In addition to their AAHA membership, the Singa Animal Hospital has been honoured by being named a Merit Award Hospital by Veterinary Economics. Only eleven Animal Hospitals nationwide earn this recognition each year.
The professional staffs at this hospital actively participate in veterinary continuing education so that your pet can benefit from the most recent advances in veterinary knowledge and care. All of their full time professional staff attends both monthly local, and yearly national continuing education meetings.
They provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. They also work closely with local practices when special diagnostic procedures are required. The facility includes a well-stocked pharmacy, in-hospital surgery suite, in-house x-ray capabilities, a closely supervised hospitalization area, and indoor kennels with outdoor walking areas.
The case study scenario:
The hospital has many staff and a member of staff manages at most one of their 10 clinics (not all staff manage clinics). When a pet owner contacts a clinic, the owner’s pet is registered with the clinic. An owner can own one or more pets, but a pet can only register with one clinic. Each owner has a unique owner number (ownerNo) and each pet has a unique pet number (petNo). When the pet comes along to the clinic, it undergoes an examination by a member of the consulting staff. The examination may result in the pet being prescribed with one or more treatments. Each examination has a unique examination number (examNo) and each type of treatment has a unique treatment number (treatNo).
Assignment instructions:
(a) Prepare an Entity Relationship Diagram to represent the case study scenario (including primary and foreign keys).
(b) Annotate and describe the relationships between the entities.
(15 marks)
Points to note:
You will be assessed on the accuracy and expressiveness of your design according to the following guidelines:
Identified entities
Relationship types and name
Implementation of cardinalities
ER diagram and naming conventions

Into Thin Air-Mt Everest,
Norma Rae
Platoon,
Remember the Titans,
Saving Private Ryan,
Twelve Angry Men
Feel free to explore your own observation possibilities. You do not have to comment on all the sample questions as they are suggestions; however, share your thorough comprehension by discussing at least three of the most relevant chapters that you read in depth. I recommend writing approximately three pages per chapter.
My advice is to seriously contemplate after watching the movie the first time, which chapters apply the most to the movie.
As you are watching it a second time, have your text with you and stop the movie in short intervals-every fifteen minutes to search your text for applicable citations that support your observations.
Note:
Please do not waste your time or mine writing about the director, actors, editing, or costumes, as this is not a movie critique.
I have seen the movie several times and want to know what you observed, retained, and can apply from this course.
The ideal length of this paper is eight to ten pages including a works cited page. A cover page is not considered part of the paper. Thirteen pages is the maximum length.
Your final observation paper grade is based upon:
Comprehension: Keen observations that are linked to course principles, theories, and group dynamics vocabulary with a minimum of six in-text citations from at least three different chapters and a maximum of twelve in-text citations must be included. A reference or works cited page is required that includes both our text book and the film: 55%
Depth of content: Rational, analytical reasoning related to group dynamics that displays your insight and understanding of effective groups/teams: 22%
Proper mechanics: Accurate grammar, punctuation, spelling, and smooth, coherent transitions from one paragraph to the next: 15%.
Organization and logical sequencing: Your paper is to: 1) Begin with a brief introduction of the observations that you will be discussing. 2) The body will contain your observations supported by course principles and citations along with your interpretations. 3) End with your opinion whether this group was an effective team or conclude by explaining what you learned from this observation experience: 7%
Format and appearance: 1%
This assignment is worth 205 points or 20% of your course grade.
The due date is 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday August 11, 2021 via the assignment tab on D2L as a MS Word document.
This paper will take considerable time to write after viewing the movie; therefore, it is not advisable to try to accomplish your final paper just two days before the due date.
Note:
You may submit your assignment early if you are balancing a busy school schedule with other projects and papers being due during finals week.
Late assignments will not be accepted after 9:00 a.m. on 8/12; therefore, plan on submitting your paper on time.
I predict that after this experience, you will view films differently due to your knowledge of groups and teams.
Enjoy the film!
