Textbook Research Papers Samples For Students

Introduction

Textbooks are fundamental instruments of learning in our schools. The underlying argument of quality assurance is not based on the textbooks in general but on the specific textbook upon which a school and the subject teacher use as the course book. As a matter of importance, a teacher should consider the choice of books he or she uses to teach. Therefore, as part of the school textbook committee, a textbook selection program should be carried out in order to evaluate the best textbook that can be used for the Math Curriculum. Three Math textbook samples from different publishers, Edexcel AS & A Mathematics, Macmillan ...

For this experiment, I am testing the theory that sleep deprivation will weaken the mind’s ability to recall certain words, inhibit word association, and disrupt the ability to recall whole phrases. I am conducting this experiment because the general way the mind works has always fascinated me but I have had a particular interest in memory, especially in terms of what weakens it. It is well known that old age can weaken the memory, but I have interest in other areas of life that can weaken the memory, such as stress, trauma, and sleep deprivation. Because I am not ...

Introduction

Despite efforts of the federal government, schools, and parents in preventing the youth from engaging in vices, the youth still gravitates toward abusing substances such as alcohol, cigarette, and drugs due to the $25 billion worth of advertisements that are shown during the airing of movies and television programs. It seems that advertisers discovered that the media depiction of substance use would be more effective than traditional advertising. This is because in general, media contents are seen as positive; otherwise, they would not be released for public viewing. Moreover, media depictions would not induce criticisms as much as advertising ...

In the 19th century William James suggested differentiating two types of memory, primary and secondary memory. Memory is not a system of one psychical function. In contemporary psychology there are usually three types of memory꞉ sensory, short term and long term memory. This paper will reflect on the last two types of memory
Short term memory holds information for a short period of time, up to 30 seconds. This type of memory has limited capacity and scientist usually use the rule of 7±2, which means that short term memory can receive from 5 to 9 units of information. In ...

Obtain the hourly data set of weather observables.

Temperature data:
Data taken from Government of Canada (2016)
The temperature on May 4th was highest at 15:00 and lowest at 06:00. The timings of these values are very similar to the plot given in the textbook example, which suggests that the minimum daily temperature occurs at 06:00 and the maximum is at 18:00. The highest temperature in the current data occurs slightly earlier, which may be due to the fact that Alberta was observing DST (Botkin & Keller, 2011).

UV Index data

The minimum UV index values are expected to occur during the hours of darkness, approximately between 20:00 and 04:00 on ...

The U.S.’s adaptation of The Office is a popular series that features many bosses trying to lead a group of workers. Throughout the series, each boss employs a series of supervisory techniques in order to accomplish this. Some of the techniques are successful, while others fail miserably. While some leaders on the show are more traditional and others try to step out of the mold, they all experiment until they find their comfort zone.

Introduction

Reflection of the first designated chapters of the Ormrod (2008) textbook on Human Learning (Sixth Edition) provides a broad spectrum of the evolution of the science of learning providing understanding of the cognitive abilities aligned to the human learning experience. From the onset of this reflection and choosing the two areas personally affecting the subjectivity of understanding self, changing beliefs about learning, and influencing the professional goal of attaining the role of teacher, it became apparent there was more to this process than just two chapters. First, Boud et al (1994) and ...

In our research we will focus on factors which affect car prices in United States. One can easily argue that the price of a particular car depends on model of the car, the year it was manufactured, its mileage, engine capacity, horsepower, fuel consumption, etc. Our study will include only 2 main factors which are believed to influence price of the car the most – its regular age and mileage.
We realize that many other factors except age and mileage influence the price of the car, therefore, in ...

What is an alkane? Any hydrocarbon which has only single bonds is an alkane and because these

hydrocarbons have a hydrogen in all possible locations they are called saturated and thus they
have this general formula, CnH2n+2.

But an alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon which has at least one carbon-carbon triple bond

without any other functional groups thus they have given general formula of CnH2n-2.

Cis-trans isomerism is a type of stereoisomerism in which the position of the functional groups

differs, also known as geometric isomerism. The different is the orientation of the functional
groups as we know in cis isomerism the both functional groups are on the same side though in
trans isomerism they are located on the opposite side.

A brief analysis of healthcare and its social and economic impact

The contemporary world has several issues, many of which are attributed to the majority world. The healthcare scenario in particular, is in a pathetic state which has seriously affected its growth. Despite suffering immensely from communicable and non communicable diseases, high rates of maternal deaths, the prevailing situation is worsened by the lack of infrastructure and development. The relationship of health and economy is immense and is evident in the majority world, which sees poverty and poor health. The role of the global pharmaceutical companies too needs to change to provide relief to the effected sections. Cooperation and investments by ...

In early life, his goal was to become a novelist or playwright, but he had limited success in this field and soon found that his true talent was for propaganda and public relations. He joined the National Socialist German Workers Party in 1923 and was made Party leader (Gauleiter) of Berlin in 1926, a post that he retained until his suicide in 1945. Goebbels was strongly devoted to Adolf Hitler and hostile to ...

But this psychopolitical propaganda was turned into psychopolitical hatred by those who have been ...
