In its most basic meaning, “grit” is the bravery, strength, and resolve inside a person. It is the one thing that many public schools try to crush, because it is the single biggest cause of trouble, especially among middle school and high school students. Too many educators believe it is a “spirit” that must be broken, spoon-feeding material to students that isn’t always relevant to the student, or to the student’s career goals. As John Holt explains in his article, “How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading”, “(I asked) questions designed to bring out the points that I ...

Question #1

The coefficient of determination (R-squared) shows the proportion of variance in the dependent variable, which is explained by the independent variable. Let’s say, the independent variable is the amount of money invested by a population of investors and the dependent variable is their profits received. Assume, the R-squared between the variables is 0.8567. This means that approximately 85.67% of the variance of profit received is explained by the amount of invested money.

Question #2

This phrase means that if the coefficient of correlation shows a strong relationship between the variables, it not always mean that there is a real causal ...

When unpacking poetry, readers should make themselves aware of the multiple denotations words may have, especially words that feel very familiar. Robert Herrick’s “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” stands as a perfect example of why this practice is crucial in gaining the entire meaning of a poem. After realizing how the words “rosebuds” and “flower” potentially mean more than just their botanical connotations, the reader discovers a deeper understanding of the poem, noticing a shift in the speaker’s audience, the poem’s tone, and the speaker’s character. Ultimately, the poem reveals itself to ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

There are moments in our lives that change it completely. It can be basically anything that triggers those changes: experience, movie, phrase, even dream, both good and bad. And I would love to say that the expression we were offered to think about had changed my trail of thought in any way but it is not so. First of all, I feel obliged to note that the passage itself about how you can be whoever you want to be and do whatever you want to do is really good and motivating and I myself deeply believe in it. The ...

Me: What amount of formal education is required in your field? Is there any special training or advanced degree required? In your opinion what majors or courses are the best?

It has never been more important to teach literature to aspiring young students than in today’s academic universe. With each passing day our young are enamored with the newest way to communicate, most of which by pass full expression. It seems to be more about verbal ‘hit and run’, where they throw out some acronyms and move on. Today’s young society has less and less patience and their appreciation for literature and what it entails is waning. A relatively high percentage of students learn the literary classics through cliff notes where they focus on what they believe ...

The author believes that when spending time on the phone people forget about their surroundings. They are not able to fully enjoy the place they are actually in. They are no longer connected to the places they visit. All in all it is possible to agree with the author’s words. The truth is that at present time cell phones substituted a number of things in people's lives. That is why it is possible to say that technologies negatively affected people's ...

In the South China Morning Post's article called “Dumping of untreated acid in Chinese canal highlights nation's water pollution woes,” we read that a Jiangsu chemical plant was recently charged with the fine of 20 million yuan ($2.88 million) for the violation of dumping nearly 2,700 tons of liquid acid waste into the Grand Canal. The reason for this fine is due to the immeasurable level of environmental damage that this caused. The fine attests to the drastic importance of respecting the earth and its bodies of waters, understanding that it is all maintained by a delicate natural ...

a) An example of a circumstance / situation in which I was a successful learner. I have always liked to draw. I remember when being a child I picked up a pen, went to wallpaper and painted a large duck. The parents and brother were horrified. It was good that this figure was not in the front room, and in my room. That was a time when my artistic talent was exhausted. While several classmates went to art school, I helped my family at home. However, my inner artist was waiting for me. I admired the details in paintings ...

If we were to ask 100 people randomly to describe a criminal, most like they will describe the most recent experience they had of a crime or criminal. Most recent experiences could be what they read on the news on the way to work, in another word what they read or watched on the most recent media exposure they had, or it could also be a personal criminal experience they had. Some people live in neighborhoods that are dangerous so they have more experience with gangs, while others might have been robbed recently, either pickpockets or online fraud, etc. ...

The conflict.

The conflict in question took place at a used books store where I purchased a book a week earlier. I usually look through all the pages really quickly before buying but this time I made a mistake of not doing that; after I brought the book home I did not touch it for a week, and when I finally opened it I found that almost half of the pages were covered in ink and it was unreadable. I tried to return the book or exchange it for another one but had a hard time explaining the situation to the ...

I had read Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare for a few times and always thought that only their parents were guilty in their death as they did not know them to be together. But when I read this story again, I found out that there were other people whose decisions played a role in the death of Romeo and Juliet. Many people think that only Romeo and Juliet made a wrong decision which led to such a terrible end of the story, but this is not true. In this story many people interfered in the relations of these ...

Discussion on Hispanic Poetry

It was a great delight to read the book “Platero and I” by Juan Ramón Jiménez as it appeared to be light, easy and gentle. I do not remember coming across a story in which the author puts so much effort into describing an animal that is not only his friend but also a soul mate. I enjoyed reading those paragraphs which are dedicated to the description of the donkey. Jiménez has chosen such tender and warm words to describe Platero that every reader will immediately fall in love with this soft and hairy donkey “made ...

This report shall be a case study on change management and it shall focus on one particular company. However, rather than focus on a gleaming example of change management done right or a company that emerged stronger when it came to the practice of change management, this report shall instead focus on a company that did it too wrong and too late.

However, they failed to read the proverbial tea leaves when it came to the paradigm shift to streaming and the use of kiosks ...

Interviewer: – Can you describe the current important events for you, which have been happening this week?

Patient: Well, this week was boringas usual honestly saying. I cannot say that I did not do anything during this week, though, I feel like procrastinating more than doing something important.

Interviewer: – So, you feel more tired than bored because of your life. Have you tried to change something in it?

Patient: It is hard to say. I guess it is even easier to talk about it than to try to change something. I believe I am ...

Research Paper Outline: Hashtags’ Negative Effect on the English Language Online

Introduction A hashtag is an official word found in the OED which promotes ideas that are propagated in professional and academic institutions. Hashtags are mainly used in social media forums. One of the repercussions of the increased use of hashtags on the internet has been a deterioration in the quality of the English language (Biddle, 2011).

Plagiarism, the act of appropriating someone else’s ideas without giving proper credit, is extremely reprehensible in academic circles. Sanctions for plagiarism may range from receiving a failing grade in an assignment to being expelled from the academic institution, depending on the seriousness of the act and the academic level of the perpetrator. It is therefore in the students’ best interest to master the art of properly incorporating others’ ideas into their own papers. Obviously it is essential for students to master the writing techniques of summarizing, paraphrasing, referencing and writing correct bibliographies, applying the style required by the ...

Introduction

Systems of writing have been cited as one of the earliest and greatest inventions of human beings. Kanji is a broad term used to refer to logographic characters widely used in the Japanese writing system.

As a result, therefore, some modifications and alterations have been done on the initial Japanese Kanji to fit it into the Japanese language. Japanese Kanji has undergone tremendous ...

One of the most popular means of communication and spreading information around the globe is by means of social media.

How far back do our memories reach? Mine reaches as far back as my first experience with books, at the tender age of three. I remember making up stories to match the pictures until, finally, a year later, I was able to recognize the real words. This began a personal journey of reading that pushed me to become the learned person I am today. That first book, a Disney book, included Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. I sat with the book every day, and asked any adult who would listen to read it to me repeatedly. Unknown to them, ...

Introduction

The term “Brexit” has been highly popularized across the world today, but it has its root in the result of the referendum on June 23, 2016, for UK's exit from the EU. Brexit is simply a short-form for “British exit” (Mirror, 2016). EU members perceive Brexit as calamitous and in fact one of the most unfortunate events that have occurred throughout the lifetime of the Union. Britain became a member of the EU (formally known as the European Economic Community, ECC) on January 1, 1973, 12 years from the time it applied to join the community, and resultantly, it ...

It is not a secret that learning process is hard. For mostly everyone it requires a lot of effort, power, concentration, persistence and of course motivation. Without knowing why we are learning this or that subject, without having any interest to it the result is not going to be fast and of course not successful. Planning a lesson a teacher should think about it as lesson is not just a process of giving knowledge it is also a tight combination with inspiration and motivation processes.

Learning to write

Why is writing difficult? I did not like writing when I was in high school. When I came to the United States, I took my first writing class and started to become a better writer.

I have read some lessons about basic Biblical Egyptology. It suggests that Moses was a legendary hero created by the Hebrews. It introduces basic information about the Pharaohs of Egypt and the course focused on the 12th, 17th – 19th dynasties. The text introduces short information about dynasties, suggests to pass the test to reveal knowledge. The main problem is that this information lacks details, it provides too short insight into dynasties and it is not enough to understand the topic. I believe that this lesson aim to provoke an interest in history and research additional information, but it doesn’ ...

As an agent of her employer, Monique has legal obligations of obedience, loyalty, accounting and performance to her principal. The duty of loyalty involves a fiduciary obligation where the agent is required to serve one principal at a time and shun from conflicts of interest, inform the principal about any material information, and keeping away from actions that would adversely affect the interest of the principal (Hartigan, 2014:272). Additionally, Monique has the duty of obedience towards her principal. The obligation ...

1. Routine Message: I was quite comfortable with Konrad Yakabuski’s assessment of our health care system. That is, until his last paragraph, where he states, “Younger doctors, motivated by more noble goals than money, seem to get this” (Doctors Don’t Get It: Health Care is a Team Game, Aug. 18). I am a 66-year-old family doctor with almost 40 years of practice under my belt. Fortunately, I really don’t need the money. I resent the implication that “older” doctors are less “noble” than younger ones. Most doctors were not looking for a personal boost to their ...

Scaffolding can be described as a teaching technique which provides a temporary support to child learners until they can stand on their own. The expert who is the teacher or the facilitator sets an example for the learners and guide them closely until such time that they can grow on their own. Puntambekar, S.

Vygotsky as cited by Puntambekar added that in a scaffolding, the expert set the tasks that are beyond the learners’ capability. It is then ...
