Research Paper: New Supervisory Skills
Your research paper is based on the following scenario:
You have just taken over as a Shift Supervisor at Fast Fleet Shoes Manufacturing and have a team of 30 under you. Your educational and training level is exactly what you have today.
Your teams rotate shifts every 3 weeks and there are two shifts, morning, 0700-3:30 PM and evening, 3PM to 11:30PM. You have the flexibility to move people around shifts, and you stay on the same shift, with overlap (i.e. your hours are 9-6). Two co-leads take over when you are not there and stay on shifts with their workers.
The previous supervisor was let go for cause, failure to meet quotas and leadership inability. The department’s morale is very low and there is a great deal of pressure for your shift to perform.
On top of this, there is a problem with some of your employees, one is always late and the other calls in sick frequently (you can decide what factors lead to their absenteeism). The previous supervisor never did anything about this and everyone knew it was an issue. One of your co-leads has brought it to your attention and wants to know when you are going to fix it.
You also have an employee that has been there for 14 years and has never been promoted to co-lead or supervisor. He came to you and wants to know why? He is an older worker and knows what he is doing, however, one of your co-leads told you that some of the younger workers grumble that he is too slow and can’t learn new technology. He also stated that unless he gets the opportunity to move up, he’ll quit and make sure that management knows you never gave him a chance.
Finally, there is a brand new worker, a single mother, who is super sharp and a very hard worker. She told you on your first day there how much she loves working at the company and wants to progress upward. However, childcare is an issue and sometimes she needs to leave early. Currently no one does any work from home (your organization has not embraced it as a culture), however, in her position (she is inventory control) she feels she can perform this just as effectively from home several days a week and ask you if this is possible? What is your response? 
You are to develop a solution to present to each of your co-leads on how to start fixing some of these issues. Make the paper informative, with some of the techniques and terms that we have addressed thus far in the course that deal with new supervisors. This about the terms leaders vs. managers, counseling, feedback, types of leaders, SMART objectives, SWOT, generational differences, Theory X and Y, MBWA, and favoritism. These terms are not all-inclusive and you are welcome to add others to support your solutions.
This can be a narrative paper, informative paper, a letter (albeit a long one) or a talking paper. You can use the first person to discuss what you think needs to be done. You can also assign tasks or take tasks away from co-leaders.
Your supervisor, co-leads, and workers can have fictional names, you can add in additional issues or factors and most of all, have fun and be creative in developing this workplace. Your co-leads can be good or bad at their job, you can decide how little or much you want to delegate to them as well as how much reporting back to you is needed.
Think about these challenges you will face as a new supervisor. You may want to break this into fixing immediate problems, a six-month goal, and one-year goal.
You should use proper APA 7th edition formatting.
You should have a title page, 3-5 pages of body content, and the last page of references. Please make sure that your paper has references even if you write it in a letter format. 
Use at least 3 references for your paper. They should be articles that support your paper or lessons we have covered. Do not use Wikipedia!
The paper should contain no more than 20% direct citations or quotations. That means 80% should be your own analysis, thoughts, and ideas.
Have fun writing this and make sure to use good terms and sources.
Attached to these instructions, you will find a sample APA paper to give you some visual clues for proper formatting.

the report is over the blood Lab we did in class I can attach the results and instructions for the report.

In one half to one page answer the question: 
Which are the roles of sodium, potassium and calcium ions during contraction of a
skeletal muscle?

This the book we use for this class:
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY; THE UNITY OF FORM AND FUNCTION (LL)
Scenario/Summary
Mrs.
Johnson, a 62-year-old woman, presents to her primary care physician with
complaints of persistent joint pain and stiffness, particularly in her knees
and hands. She reports that the pain is worse in the morning and improves
throughout the day with movement. Mrs. Johnson mentions that the symptoms have
been gradually progressing over the past several years, impacting her ability
to engage in activities she once enjoyed, such as walking and gardening.
Upon
examination, the physician observes joint tenderness, swelling, and crepitus in
Mrs. Johnson’s knees and hands. There are no signs of significant joint warmth
or redness. Her medical history reveals a long-standing history of overweight
and a family history of osteoarthritis. X-rays of the affected joints show
joint space narrowing, osteophyte (bone spur) formation, and subchondral
sclerosis – characteristic features of osteoarthritis.
The
physician discusses the diagnosis of osteoarthritis with Mrs. Johnson,
explaining that it is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the
breakdown of cartilage and changes to the underlying bone. The risk factors,
including age, obesity, and family history, are discussed.
Discussion:
Osteoarthritis
is characterized by the degeneration of the articular cartilage that lines the
bony ends, where two bones touch; the resulting friction of bone against bone
worsens the condition, associated with the elderly. Osteoarthritis most
commonly affects weight-bearing joints and joints that undergo repetitive
stress over a lifetime.
General Overview
· Prevalence:
most common joint disorder
· Incidence:
increases with age
· Sex: 
♀ > ♂
· Incidence
rates in specific joints: knee > hip > hand
Deliverables
Please
address the following questions in complete sentences.
1.    
Which joint allows the most mobility?
2.    
what is the functional and structural
classification of the knee joint and the hip joint
3.    
list all the hand joints that

these hand joints.
4.

example, list the risk factors discovered in this client that increased the
likelihood of developing osteoarthritis.
