...As a teacher it is your responsibility to not only present new material to the student but to teach them and to verify and monitor what information they are actually obtaining and processing. There are many forms of assessments that teachers can use to evaluate students understanding of lesson material. I will suggest a few methods that I will use in my secondary education mathematics classroom. The first strategy of monitoring I will discuss will be quizzes. There are multiple advantages for this form of testing. First, is that it easily produces recorded data. I can quickly grade multiple choice questions and record the students’ grade. Being able to record this grade will allow me to present scores to the parents when I am asked for a student’s progress. Another advantage to a quiz is the ability to assess both the entire class and each individual’s understanding on a topic. I will be able to look at the overall measurement and decide whether there is a need to review the topic or lesson, or if the class is ready to advance in the given studies. Also, by presenting multiple quizzes through the term the students and I can create a set format, which can help ease classroom anxiety. Another form of monitoring students’ progression through a lesson is homework. Homework can be one of the most effective methods for tracking mathematical progress. Assigning, collecting and grading homework can be a very timely way to gather information on how each student is progressing through...

...Since the very beginning of my days as a student, I have despised literature. English has always been a subject that I dreaded. I do not loathe literature solely for my lack of writing skills, because I do enjoy reading, rather it’s the fact that I tend to lose my train of thought while writing an essay or while brainstorming an idea I want to address. I struggle with organizing my thoughts and making concise relationsHIPS[?][CONNECTIONS?] between literary texts and the assignments given by my teachers. The only time I do enjoy writing is when I can write freely in my journal. By writing in a journal, I do not worry about the grammar and organized aspect of writingCOMMA and it clears my mind.

...The Dynamics of Writing and Family “Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand." -- Bruce Fairchild Barton, advertising executive and congressman Uncle would say, "There are certain inalienable truths you must accept." So when I raged about Atheists being disqualified for holding office in Arkansas or how it's illegal to carry a bible in Singapore, he'd say, "Write it down. Let it out." I've filled four journals. On an idle Thursday, when my mind was free of frustration, I read the crumpled, yellowed pages of my black leather journal and saw a natural progression from black to color. I had precisely captured all my experiences, but in an entirely aesthetic way. From then on, every time I opened my journal, I found myself in an unfamiliar environment writing to capture a mood or scene with creative language. It was my therapeutic getaway from reality. In the summertime, every Sunday, after taking a rattling cold bus, two smoky, humid subway trains, and picking up the best peanuts on 114th street, I would arrive at Riverside Park, New York. I wrote at least one piece every time I was there and shared my work with the same old man who perused the New York Times and the same skinny college student who sunbathed in her bikini. After noting any criticism they gave, I would return home, edit and embellish each piece. ...

...Journals and Scientific Documents The purpose of journals and professional papers is to inform the public on a specific subject matter. These writings relate directly to a broad spectrum dependent on the edition or publication specifics. Of professional papers, several types can provide a scope of information and credibility toward a purveyance of technical or detailed information. The structure is usually even flowing and organized with particular information segments set out about the constituency of the writing. These papers, intended for publication in special interest journals, enhance the writers research, writing, and documentation capabilities as some of the information, not being his/her own will need to be accredited as if it is not, than plagiarism will be extrapolated. Journals, usually published by or for a particular subject matter or client, are detailed and accurate. There may be a UCLA journal, National Geographic Journal, or even a mechanic’s journal. The particulars of this, geared toward a particular audience and each entry, will usually comprise two titles sharing a general viewpoint for the nonprofessional and an entry specific title for the professional. The purpose of journals is to inform a group or individual of the credible elements related to a curriculum or scientific, professional, or academic scope. The writings or information in a journal may be composed of professional papers but the opposite is not the same. ...

...Difference between journals and diaries:- The difference between a diary and a journal is that a diary is where you can write down what happened during the day and keep a record of stuff. A journal is to write your own personal feelings in, and things that happened, and how they happened. A diary is a report of what happened during the day—where you ate, who you met, the details that what was happened in the office, and who took whose side. It is a like a newspaper about you. A journal is completely different. A journal is about examining your life. It’s a GPS system for your spirit. Journals lead to insight, growth, and sometimes, achieving a goal. You can keep a journal in anything that feels comfortable and that’s portable–a spiral notebook, a bind book you have put together with lokta paper, index cards held together with a rubber band. You can use a computer; keep a blog, although that doesn’t work as well for me. But things on the internet are simply not private, password protected or not. To keep a journal on paper, pick a time of day to write. Keep it regularly. It makes it easier. Try that you didn’t stuck to an exercise program because then it can nailed it into schedule at a certain time. Writing works the same way. First thing in the morning, last thing at night, while eating lunch at your desk. Write with a good pen that feels good and whose color you like. In the beginning, you may have to set a time limit. Three minutes is good. Just write whatever comes...

...As Generations Evolve, So Does Our Media In today’s day in age we are constantly flooded with information and news that is being almost shoved at us from all different angles. From radio, newspapers, television, magazines and the Internet we are always engaged in some sort of media. As technology has progressed we have also been able to access news and information anywhere in the world. With our tablets, laptops, and smartphones media is at the tips of our fingers and always available for us, which is much different then how it used to be. From the censorship of the media to the constant use of new media, the differences from the media in America’s history and today’s are vast. Every generation has to adjust to the media type that is current for their time, however with the constant progression of technology we are affected by the content of the media as well and the delivery system. Conferring with someone from an older generation helps fully understand how the media has changed and the different perspectives about it. My mother, Ellen Ferretti, was born on July 15, 1956 and grew up in Fort Lee, New Jersey, right across river from New York City. Even though she was born in the 50’s she still has a reference of information about the media during her childhood and teen years. Growing up she recalled always having newspapers, magazines, and the radio as a source of media. Her parents read the newspaper as a source of information and current events, locally...

...RADIO and all its glory Michael A DePiro Walters Introduction to the Entertainment Industry - Online Professor Kip Roddenberry 11/27/2012 One of the most common forms of media, and one of the first ever-electronic mediums, radio has come a long ways over the years. First was a simple experiment to demonstrate transmission of frequency energy. Today a way of life for millions of people everyday, in 1892 the first ever radio was in the making, but it would not be till the early 1900’s that the first ever voice over would hit the airwaves. By 1904 radio was in full swing. By the 1930’s Radio sets were in homes across the world. “IT'S difficult to imagine a time before radio. From families gathered around huge radio sets in 1930s lounge rooms, to the blast from a car radio tuned into rock stations 40 years later, the ''wireless'' has had a profound effect on our lives.” (Thom, 2007) Radio is enjoyed by millions of people everyday, it’s hard to tell which demographic works best. The best way for me to refer to Radio is in my own professional role in the industry. I currently work as the Program Director for Forever Broadcasting, the largest radio station in Pennsylvania. From my research and constant contact with Abatron it appears that more women tend to listen to the radio than men. This demographic is shown in all of our stations, and Abatron reports that the demographic of women listeners is high in most states. The typical target customer is another hard one to pin...

...Medical Journals and the Failure of Trust” the issue of pharmaceutical businesses and their research, and how it is presented is outlined. The article covers one of the largest controversies with business research conducted by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and how the results were skewed and then reported by many medical journals as fact, even though the research did not support what was reported. The study was GSK 329, which showed a particular drug to be effective in adolescents with depression, even though the testing showed otherwise. (Jureidini & McHenry, 2011) The biggest unethical behavior that was demonstrated by GSK, and medical journals was the skewing of results of a study. Medical journals published articles that misrepresented the findings of GSK’s research. Internal reports by the company showed that their trials of the drug had failed to benefit adolescents with depression, and positively showed that there were negative results. (Jureidini & McHenry, 2011) The internal report states that “it would be commercially unacceptable to include a statement that efficacy had not been demonstrated, as this would undermine the profile of paroxetine,” and that “to effectively manage the dissemination of data in order to minimize any potential negative commercial impact.” (Jureidini &McHenry, 2011) This indicates that they skewed the results of the study so that only selective data would be published. The authors also place blame on the medical journals that published...

...Preface This document provides us an insight to the radio industry in in present form in India and compares two of the most renowned radio channels (one a privately held entity and another being run by the government). About Radio Industry in India There are a total of 232 FM channels, private and government owned in India. The Current size of the radio industry (2009-10) is estimated at over US$ 170.87 million. According to a PwC study, the radio industry is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18 per cent over 2009-13, reaching US$ 391.15 million. In terms of its share of the advertising pie, it is projected that the radio advertising industry will be able to increase its share from 3.8 per cent to 5.2 per cent between 2009 and 2013. The government earned US$ 11.05 million from private radio channels during 2008-09. Radio Mirchi, along with its alliances, is number one in the Indian private FM radio industry, with a 46.5million listenership according to Indian Readership Survey (IRS) 2009. The Metro Market Phenomenon 18% of all private FM stations are in Metro markets. Metro markets contribute maximum revenue to the industry, however there is no room for expansion as these markets already have maximum number of permitted stations in operations and are witnessing fierce competition. Competitive analysis We look at two of the major players in this space; one a private network and the other a govt. held entity to understand the difference between their respective...

...AN EMPRICAL STUDY ON FM RADIO ADVERSITING Advertising of products and services is the route to rope in more customers and improve a company’s image. Radio is an effective, low-cost medium for advertising a company’s products. FM radio has today enabled advertisers to reach out to the audiences cost-effectively. In July 2005, the union cabinet approved the second phase of FM broadcasting in private sector, in which more emphasis was given to the growth of services than generating revenue for the government. The government has allowed foreign companies to venture into setting up of private FM stations within in the present ceiling of 20% foreign capital. Now the Government expects to take a final view in two to three months on the third phase of expansion of FM radio and about 806 radio licences are expected to be issued and the Government plans to take FM radio to about 283 towns. (News from business line New Delhi, March 28 by Mr. Rajiv Takru, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting) Currently, as for as advertising is concerned only one –and – a- half % of total advertising spending can be attributed to radio. In other countries around the world, the average ranges from 5-15%.In srilanka, for example, 21% of total advertising expenditure is spent on radio. This shows the vast potential of the radio as a medium of advertising it is said that radio covers almost 89% of country in terms of area and 97% in terms of population. However, this medium...

...Riviera Radio, that is a one of the successful station in Monaco, is not smoothly from the beginning. It established by Princess Grace’s ideal and her friends from 1950’s. They want to offer a radio place for the Anglophone community. In the initial period, it provided to transmit music, and permanent residents, and advertisements to the Anglophone community in the initial Riviera. Nevertheless, it had met several problems. At first, a variety of people, jobs, and lifestyle: The signal from Italian across Monaco to French and there are over 120 nationalities in there, how can it cater for everyone's flavors? Another problem is advertisers: for RR(Riviera Radio), the most important part of money is for advertisers. It needed to find ways to disinter more clients and advertisers. Paul Kavanagh was given this mission in 2003. Besides, he thought the core value of RR is “Anglo”. In addition, he went to RR to be best friend of their clients. In order to fulfill his mission, he offers three orientations for RR. First, the female listeners were decreasing to 40% of total listeners in 2006, so he decided to add one woman, Elizabeth Lewis, with Peter and Rob who are hosts too in the noontime. Furthermore, he provided both female voices to the prime time slot in order to retrieve their female clients. Another orientation is that he tried to increase the listeners of Russian because he found that Russian consumption is a huge part of the industry's revenue Monaco. The last is about the...

...began in Alpine, New Jersey right on the top of the New Jersey Palisades. This was where Major Edwin Howard Armstrong, the inventor of FM radio built Alpine Tower, also known as “Armstrong Tower” in 1937. As the discoverer of frequency modulation “FM” in 1933, Armstrong spent many years experimenting on this discovery while working for RCA. Armstrong went through several legal battles throughout his thirteen years of FM discovery and research (and following his death). On April 10, 1938 Armstrong broadcasted for the first time on FM radio, from his experimental call sign W2XMN. The FM radio was discovered after RCA’s former president David Sarnoff asked Armstrong to provide “a little black box” that could eliminate the static that plagued AM (amplitude modulation) broadcasting (FYBush). Ten years later, Armstrong discovered how to change the radio waves frequency. After Armstrong’s discovery and when David Sarnoff realized how great his discovery was. “This is not an ordinary invention," Sarnoff declared, “This is a revolution." (Amplifier) Sarnoff gave Armstrong RCA’s experimental television laboratory on top of the Empire State Building. Eventually, Sarnoff felt threatened by this discovery. RCA was slowly working on commercial television, and they did not want to spend extra money replacing radio equipment once Armstrong’s FM technology was accepted by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). Armstrong was asked to remove his equipment from the laboratory and was told that...
