...With Directories Lab Title: Working with Directories Student Name: Date: Prepare this Lab Report when you have completed and lab assignment. Include any charts, graphs required to complete the lab. Refer to your initial lab plan to respond to the first questions. 1. Define the problem you were solving in this lab. (If any) This weeks lab was to familiarize ourselves with the Linux directory structure by creating, moving, and deleting files and directories using the “vim Editor.” 2. What challenges did you meet in working towards completing the Lab? The instructions were straight forward. I just had to look a few times, since we were asked to skip several instructions to focus on the main parts of the tutorial in our book assignment. [Side Note]: Many students seemed to have problem accessing the Lab for this week. I did not seem to have any troubles loading the Lab Mentor, unless the internal issue was hotfixed. 3. Were you successful in solving the problem? Did you use methods you learned in class? If yes, explain your solution, if no, explain the solution you did use. Please be specific, and provide a detailed description of your solution. I just kept the iLab assignment and book assignment side-by-side as I was reading through the instructions. The main task was multitasking several windows at the same time (i.e., iLab instructions, OS Book, Lab Mentors, Word 2010). TO Download Complete Tutorial With Screen Shots, Hit...

...out of curiosity, people will not discourage me without witnessing or knowing it right? That’s why I want to study this topic for me to understand and to know why most accountancy students fail in the Philippines and for me not to fail my chosen course or my accountancy subjects. And I also want to study this topic for others to know that Accountancy is not that hard if you just try you’re best to understand it and give some time to answer or compute all the problems. II. Background of the Study According to my research and resources most accountancy students fail because “accounting assignments/problems are very time consuming and sometimes not easy to understand” (Francisco Vazquez, 2012). And those students don’t want their minds to explode and waste their time to come up with an answer or solution that they choose to play video games or surf the net than answering their math question/s. And these are also some habits why most accountancy students fail: 1. Not Attending Class 2. Not Doing Assignments 3. Not Taking Notes 4. Relying on Other Students 5. Not Managing Time Well 6. Procrastinating / Doing Last Minute Work 7. Not Following Instructions or Directions 8. Not Participating in Class 9. Mind-Blocking / Negative Thinking 10. Blaming Your Teacher...

...Procrastination on Doing Academic Assignments Andi Nur Chalishah (AG 1) Have you ever been in a situation where you are overwhelmed by assignments? One of the possible reasons of why you could be in that situation is because sometimes you tend to postpone what is necessary, and instead you do activities that are more fun but less necessary. This situation is referred as procrastination. Procrastination seems to make a student’s life more pleasant but it adds several bad effects such as anxiety, stress, and even bad grades on their academic assignments. When you are doing an assignment on the very last minute of the deadline, sometimes you feel anxious because you are afraid if you will not have enough time to finish it. Nevertheless, you do not realize anxiety arises from your procrastination habit. Sometimes you tend to stop finishing your assignments to do other fun activities because you think you could do it later. Students who procrastinate on doing assignment think they are waiting for the right moment to do it when the fact is they are just waiting for the high level of anxiety to force them to do it. Realizing that you still have a bunch of unfinished assignments brings you stress. It causes a big possibility of losing focus on doing assignments and the worst part is it will lead you to failure on doing your assignments. Procrastination truly gives bad effects for college students on doing their assignments. Procrastinating to do other fun activities surely gives...

...organizational skills are a big role in the way you may procrastinate. Many people may just need help in the organization department in order to not procrastinate and others may need help dealing with many more issues they have with the issue of procrastination. I believe in order to help prevent or totally eradicate procrastination from your work method; you must first look at yourself. Are you struggling with confidence or is it simply that you are too much of a perfectionist and nothing you seem to write is up to par? Well, the first step would be to stop over thinking everything you decide to put down on paper; it probably isn’t as bad as you think it is. When you stop over thinking, writing will come a lot easier and less forced than before and you may feel that you don't have to wait until the last minute to write your assignments. Also, with putting less pressure on yourself and constantly forcing yourself to rewrite the assignment over and over again; you’ll feel the weight of an elephant being lifted off your chest. Good organizational skills have been taught to you since you were a young child, for instance, making sure your toys or other objects were put away properly, but somehow most of us lost this skill long ago, or seemed to put it in the back of our minds. By having good organizational skills you are able to make sure you actually have time to put aside for your writing assignment and other activities that are involved with your daily...

...my head down, I had just walked back to my desk, ready to accept failure. Being one of the last ones to finish the assignments, I had thought for sure I wouldn’t have gotten a good grade on it. As the teacher was reading through the essays, she called me up to her desk. She hadn’t called up anyone else. At that moment I felt my heart sink. Was I in trouble? Did I do that bad that she had to stop mid-reading to tell me? What did this mean? But what she said next would be the best confidence booster I had ever had in class, and would stick with me forever.. It was my Junior year in high school, I had been submerged in homework and assignments like I was swimming in the ocean; up to my neck. I never considered myself an “amazing” writer.. There was a day where I had to do both and it was really important for a class I was taking. Mrs. Bridges’ class was one of the spoken about class amongst students. That class either made you a better writer/reader, or it gave you more work than you could handle. Of course I was nervous about taking the class, but I knew if I did succeed I would benefit from it. This day just so happened to be one of the biggest assignment days we had planned. Two quizzes and an essay due, in class. I pulled out all...

...CS193P IPHONE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT FALL 2011 Assignment I: Calculator Objective This assignment has two parts. The goal of the first part of the assignment is to recreate the demonstration given in the second lecture. Not to worry, you will be given very detailed walk-through instructions in a separate document. It is important, however, that you understand what you are doing with each step of that walk-through because the second part of the assignment (this document) is to add a couple of extensions to your calculator which will require similar steps to those taken in the walk-through. This assignment must be submitted using the submit script (see the class website for details) by the end of the day next Wednesday. You may submit it multiple times if you wish. Only the last submission will be counted. For example, it might be a good idea to go ahead and submit it after you have done the walk-through and gotten that part working. If you wait until the last minute to try to submit and you have problems with the submission script, you’ll likely have to use one of your valuable late days. Be sure to check out the Hints section below! Materials • Before you start this assignment, you will need to download and install the iOS SDK and Xcode 4 from http://developer.apple.com or using the App Store on Mac OSX. It is critical that you get the SDK downloaded and functioning as early as possible in the week so that if you have problems you will have a chance to talk...

...traditional classroom, but to also attend virtually. Therefore, if a student works full time and wants to attend school – he now has the option to attend online. Despite sharing some apparent similarities, the differences between traditional and online learning environments are extraordinary. Traditional and E-learning are suitable learning environments that have different executions in (a) scheduling and participation, (b) student/teacher relationships, and (c) assignments and test. The first distinctions between traditional learning and e-learning are scheduling and participation. Traditional classroom settings require a fixed environment, which reduces the amount of students that can learn at the same time. However, an online class allows thousands/millions of students to take the same course at one time. Moreover, traditional classes are not flexible. Traditional classrooms require that students and teachers show up for classes at a certain time, while online classrooms can be assessed anytime during the day. Therefore, traditional classrooms would not be an option for full time employees or mothers because they could not meet the attendance requirement. Furthermore, while attendance plays a very important part in participation with both a traditional and e-learning class, they are executed very differently. In an online class, your participation is mandatory and attendance is based on how many times you...

...getting help from your instructor, avoiding whining and people who whine and complain, and forcing yourself to start. I’m In the Same Boat Procrastination is so much fun, not! When procrastinating you think it makes things so much easier. Just like tonight, I have had this assignment for 6 days and rather than doing it the first day it was assigned to me I waited until 10:26 pm to actually write this paper. Why did I wait so long? Well, I went to Ohio this weekend to celebrate my best friends 21st birthday, anyone in their right mind would say “I have a paper to write, how about I not wait until I’ve driven for 3 hours to get home after a party to do homework” but then there’s me, who thought not completing the assignment early on in the week somehow gave me more time to do other things. I never said I was the brightest blub of the bunch. Excuses are the easiest thing to think about when wanting to put off an assignment, I’m too tired right now, I can get it done tomorrow, no I won’t be extremely tired or exhausted after a weekend for planning a party and babysitting everyone there. Sometimes excuses can seem like logical reasons to not do things, but really you become more stressed when you put things off then you would be if you would just skip that nap and do your work. Your Instructor Maybe? For some, going to your instructor isn’t something that even seems like an option when it comes to needing help. However, your instructors are...

...harder online? “No,” it’s easy. You just have to have a routine. Everything is done in weekly blocks. There is a calendar that shows exactly what assignments need to be done within the week. You see all the course materials, and even an online library. There is no need to even buy textbooks. How does the assignments work? All the assignments are accomplished through “Forums,” similar to Blogs. The teacher posts a discussion questions and other assignments in the forum. All the classmates respond to the discussion questions and you receive feedback from the other students. All the responses thread onto each other creating what is called, “Threaded Discussion”. Are your conversations Live? “Well,” Probably not, but it is possible. What is great about forums is I can post my responses at anytime of the day from any computer. All the students post their assignments and Discussion Questions when they find it convenient for them, just as long as they are not late turning in their assignments. This is called, “Asynchronous Communication” How do you have time for school? The flexibility of this Asynchronous Communication allows time to do all the other thinks I need to do. The assignments are not too hard and do not take that much time. What do you do if there is a question you need answered? I can post a Question for the teacher in my private forum called, “Individual forum”. In this forum no one can see what I have written, just the teacher and myself. I can go...

Note: Do not download MS PROJECT 2013, as version 2013 does not align with the lab assignment instructions. You need version 2010 to execute your lab instructions properly. What will you learn from this course? * It is about: 1) Learning project management concepts, 2) Learning how to use the MS Project Tool, and 3) Applying course concepts and MS Project skills to build a project plan for something that interests you. * The “discussions” will provide insight on the concepts in the text. * The “labs” will teach you how to use MS Project, so you can build your own MS project schedule for your course project. * The “course project” will bring together several of the weekly deliverables into one Project Management Plan in week 8. Each week builds upon the previous week. * Note: Weekly feedback is provided on your course project assignments. Incorporate this feedback along the way (in other words, make corrections as you go) so in week 8 you have revised sections for your final paper. Then in week 8, you just need to summarize what each piece means and pull it together into ONE project plan document. If you ignore this advice and attempt to make all your...

...No matter who you are or what talents you have, to be a hard-working student and to set yourself up for a satisfactory future is a very difficult task to do. The trials you must take and the materials you must sacrifice are high and many in between. But you must not falter in these daunting tasks, as your own future is depending on your willpower and ability to test yourself and to overcome this gauntlet. But even so, you must not stress yourself out. Your own childhood is a one time only concept, and it does not come back. You must savor the years in which you live, and you must preserve what innocence you have left in order to see the world in a positive standing, and to be optimistic about your future. Even if you receive a poor grade, or are bullied, or simply just don’t have any friends, to push through these trials and tribulations, to succeed where many have failed, what other meaning of life is there, than to succeed? There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than to finally graduate, to earn yourself into the honors society and obtain a scholarship, to finally complete college and earn that job that allows you to happily spend the rest of your life in comfort and relaxation, that is the true goal of humanity. To simply exist and be...

...Assignment #1 Frequently Asked Questions Questions from this term From: Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 11:28 AM To: Boyd, Colin Subject: Assignment #1 Hi, I was looking at assignment #1, in particular the SWOT analysis. Examples of it I found online were a combination of point form and paragraph. Is this alright if I formatted it like this? http://marketingteacher.com/SWOT/amazon_swot.htm Thanks in advance, Answer Hi : That web site seems more like paragraph form than point form. Point form should be avoided, if possible, because it is harder to read, and the writer usually has been a bit lazy. Being forced to write flowing paragraphs makes you think more about what you want to say. Colin ---------------------- Question From: Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 3:16 PM To: colin.boyd@usask.ca Subject: COMM 101 assignment Professor Boyd, I am unclear about "an aspect of strategy" that is required for assignment #1 in COMM 101(02).

This could be changing positions regarding horizontal breadth of products, vertical integration, or geographical...

...the point, I have always had a hard time just starting the essay. I could not find the inspiration to write what was needed to create the work of literature my teacher expected of me. With that being said, I can honestly admit that I have never actually completed any writing assignments out of class and next to none of the assignments done in class. Needless to say I have probably failed all but one year in English classes, and the one I passed was because the teacher received a death threat from a student and left the school. Most of the teachers simply spent his/her time keeping me in line so as not to distract the other students. This semester, however, I definitely feel my writing has improved. I have a better understanding of how to structure my entire paper, whether its sentence structure or paragraph layout, what parts of speech should not be used in a paper and to limit my use of contractions. This class has also taught me to spend more time outside of school working on perfecting my work which I plan to take into later classes. All of these changes were made possible because for the first time I had a teacher who was able to make the subject enjoyable and fun. I definitely had the easiest time with the assignments that allowed me to be creative which not something I felt I could do before this class. However, with the more serious assignments I had a harder time completing, I went back to feeling negatively about writing and just did not want to do it, especially with...
