NCU Organizational Audit

NCU’s Communication 341 class has conducted an audit on the university in order to assess the way the members view communication within the organization. The methods for collecting data included two surveys sent out to the campus. Additionally, 15 interviews were conducted with members of the organization. The results show key information about areas of NCU that members feel are excelling in communication, as well as areas in which communication is a struggle. Some of the positive themes found included department cohesion and fulfillment; some areas of concern included trust, employee recognition, and workload.

The Mathematics of Rock Guitar

Society places math geeks and rock stars in two very different baskets. However, without mathematics there would be no rock n’ roll. In this study the mathematics of the electric guitar were examined by scanning existing knowledge in the field. From Pythagorean fret placement to standing waves, mathematics exists in every element of a guitar from its build design to the sounds it makes. The expressive, emotional phenomenon that is rock music can be conceptualized and understood in grounded mathematics.

Men and Women’s Olympic Hurdles Events

The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was the first of the games which women competed in the 400m hurdler race. Previously, women only competed in the 100m hurdles race. For the purpose of this report, data will be analyzed from 1984 to 2012. In the interest of understanding the elements that indict success in hurdles events, we will research data on men’s 110m hurdles, men’s 400m hurdles, women’s 100m hurdles and women’s 400m hurdles.
