Foundations
Brigham Young University–Idaho 2013-2014
This is an exciting time to be associated with Brigham Young University-Idaho as it continues on a steady, upward course of academic innovation. Dedicated administrators and faculty members are continually working to prepare students to be well educated academically as well as spiritually. One of the university’s academic developments is our general education program called Foundations. Just as the name suggests, Foundations is designed to provide a strong base for the rest of your university experience and throughout your life. Foundations presents a focused approach to general education, allowing students to explore specific aspects of diverse subjects, delving deep into each topic. The courses are interdisciplinary and have been created through countless hours of faculty collaboration to provide you with the most effective learning outcomes. Foundations courses are divided into five groups: Eternal Truths, Academic Fundamentals, Science, Cultural Awareness, and Connections. While some courses are required, others are left to personal preference. You will be blessed as you enter these inspired classes with an open mind and willing heart. I invite you to carefully review the Foundations courses available and determine which classes will benefit you most. I wish you success in this and every other endeavor here at BYU-Idaho. Best regards,

Religion Requirements
Brigham Young University–Idaho 2013-2014
Transfer of Credit from other Universities and Institutes of Religion: Religion credit earned at Church Education System Institutes of Religion or other LDS Church schools will transfer to BYU-Idaho as an equivalent religion course or elective credit so long as the course is taken for credit and such credit is noted on an official transcript. While these religion credits from other LDS Church schools or Institutes of Religion may transfer to fulfill required religion content, they do not satisfy the BYU-Idaho resident religion requirement (religion courses taken from BYUIdaho). Coursework in religious studies from any place other than an LDS Church school or Institute of Religion will not be accepted toward filling the BYU-Idaho religion requirements. Second Religion Class: It is recommended that students take only one religion class each semester. No approvals are necessary for a student to enroll in a second religion class, but please be aware that the registration system will not allow registration for a second religion class prior to the first day of the term in which the student will take the class. Note particularly that this applies equally for 2nd Block classes (that is, they cannot be added until the first day of the 2nd Block). Students should take this into account when planning so that credit limits for scholarships or other financial aid can be met without the second religion class appearing on their registration before the first day of the term. Three or more religion classes in one semester require departmental approval. Such approval will only be granted in cases of extreme academic necessity. If you feel your situation qualifies, you may apply to the Religious Education Department Chair in Taylor 202. Attendance: Each instructor may establish criteria for giving credit, but generally, lack of attendance would affect a student’s grade detrimentally and could result in no credit for the class, thus requiring the student to retake the class. Waivers: Should a student be denied a graduation diploma from BYU–Idaho because the religion credit was not completed and reasons for the non-completion were beyond the control of the student, an appeal may be submitted for review. For clarification and/or application for a waiver, see the Religious Education Department Chair. Students can make an appointment with the Department Secretary at (208) 496-3920.

Charity Foundations

...The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Christina Bell University of Phoenix Dr. Kevin Bottomley HSM 260 The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Introduction Charities are an integral part of every community, whether it is a small non-profit or a worldwide organization. Charity is the way of helping people in need and even a small amount of donations can make a substantial impact on the community. The act of charity assists to make the community a better place to live by delivering services and goods to the group of individuals who may not otherwise have access to them (Ein-Gar & Levontin, 2013). While the funding of the government also makes a valuable contribution in fostering the charity work, many charities rely on donations from people and organizations as well. Furthermore, knowing that one has sacrificed something such as finances, property or time for the purpose to strengthen the way of living of people in need provides a sense of inner satisfaction and a purpose of life (Anheier, 2014). Many governmental entities are incapable to support certain types of charities. Therefore, these non-profit organizations depend on the funding from the common pubic. Among these charitable organizations, one organization that often comes in mind is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation due to its valuable contribution to the society. This paper will provide an overview about the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and highlights the projects it currently supports. ...

...Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Paper HSM/260 Ashley Turner August 26, 2012 Angela M. Jennings “Right now, just over 1 billion people—about 15 percent of the people in the world—live in extreme poverty. On most days, they worry about whether their family will have enough food to eat. There is irony in this, since most of them live and work on farms. The problem is that their farms, which tend to be just a couple acres in size, don’t produce enough food for a family to live on.” Bill Gates Bill and Melinda Gate believe in using their fortune and fortunate circumstances, to help others in the United States and in the world. They believe that when each person that lives in the United States, has the opportunity to develop their talents, society will thrive. They also want to help the rest of the world as well. Their Global Health Program harnesses advances in science and technology to save the lives of those in poor countries. They want to focus on the health problems that have a major impact in developing countries but are not getting enough attention and funding. Using the latest tools—seeds, vaccines, AIDS drugs, and contraceptives, for example, they have made impressive progress. “If we don’t make these success stories widely known, we won’t generate the funding commitments needed to maintain progress and save lives”, (Bill Gates Foundation, 2012). With the programs that have been funded and produced by Bill Gates and others on his developmental team, we can help...

Personal Benefits of Volunteering

...Volunteering – The personal benefits Prewriting – For Prewriting this essay, I chose to use brainstorming. I wrote a list of what I felt the benefits of volunteering were as well as different things about volunteering and then used them to create my essay. Draft Are you bored with your life? Do you feel that you want to do something new or more for your community? Volunteering can be a great way for you to meet new people, get involved with your community and feel good. When you volunteer, whether it’s helping others or volunteering on a project or program, what you are doing will benefit an individual person or many people. Volunteering can be a short or long term situation, but whichever you choose, you should make sure that you are able to commit to the time involved. I volunteer at my church. The program that I volunteer in is called Friendship Ministry. With volunteering for the Friendship Ministry, I share God’s love with people who have impairments and help them become an active member of God’s family. Each mentor is assigned a “friend” that they will develop a relationship with. We sit with our friends and have lunch with them and play activities and sing with them while teaching them that we were all made special and are God’s family. We do this the third Sunday of each month. Each mentor interacts with their friends differently, but makes them feel special. I developed a special relationship with my friend Susan.

...This was my first footstep of starting my degree life. First day of attending the Foundation of Business course, the feeling of tension filled me up. The main reason was because I have to adapt the new course and environment. This course is taught by Ms. Khor Siu Gek, an approachable and friendly lecturer. When I first glance over the module guide, this is quite a different course since it contains 100% coursework mark. In the first lecture class, Ms. Khor explained about what we are going to do throughout this course. The 100% coursework mark is divided into four categories which are portfolio, group project, essay on a given assignment and attendance. We need to provide evidence such as draft, notes and pictures as a proof to show the accomplishment of learning process. Some activities will be carried out in every tutorial class to ensure that students are participating in classes. Then, we need to express our feeling and provide relevant theories learnt in the reflective report weekly. This is to improve our learning skills, communication skills, time management skills and critical thinking skills.

...I choose to write my foundations paper on an organization that is based in my area that I live in, and although it is in my area it is not just a local organization but one that actually has the ability to span across the nation with support from local companies, as well as government agencies. The organization with which I am speaking is the Freestore Foodbank. I will go into the details of the non-profit organization in further detail in this paper. The Freestore began in 1971 by a man named Frank Gerson who worked in Cincinnati’s incinerator. He saw that there was too many household items that were being wasted when there were so many in his community that needed help. So this man quit his job, and started the non-profit business out of his apartment. By 1979 it had grown too big for his little apartment to handle, so he decided to get a warehouse to handle the sorting, and distribution of the food items for his community. Also at this time the Freestore became a founding member of Feeding America, which helped the organization evolve into the Freestore Foodbank. Today the Freestore is one of over 200 foodbanks within the Feeding America networks, which helps serve communities across the whole nation, not just in the Cincinnati area. They distribute over 19 million meals through a network of 275 community agencies. www.fsfb.org. This is an astonishing number of meals that are handed out to those that are going hungry, which is the organizations main mission. No one should...

The Foundation...

...Joshua Lecour 15 October 2015 Essay #2 The majority of adults today have a stable home life, which helps to build a stable foundation by the time they reach grade school. That’s all in thanks to having loving and caring parents, grandparents and caretakers to guide kids so that they can preform at the highest levels in life, especially scholastically. In a perfect world having a solid system like this to build on would be the perfect catapult for success in America’s school systems. Unfortunately, most children in the inner cities aren’t blessed to have a stable home because of the absence of consistent parental figures in the house. Sometimes these households have one parent within them because of divorce or other more saddening circumstance like the death of a parent. Death leads to an absence within a child life that will persist into their adult life. Despite the timing or reason behind these situations they greatly affect a child’s confidence, self-esteem and self worth. Instability within the household causes a child to suffer anxiety disorders and self-confidence issues, depending on the situations that occur like physical or substance abuse by the parent, which is taken with them into the classroom. This kind of conditioning at home also shapes the ability to interact with other students in a positive or negative way, which also leads to poor academic and social standing within a school setting. The easiest way to remedy the issues of poor performance in school due...

We not only continued to stay ahead of our competitors by anticipating and accommodating changing customer trends, but also increased our market share of the sensor industry by 6.67% during the past year. Our company has historically held the majority share of the low-tech market, and with the recent release of Acorn and current innovations underway, MESCK, Inc. is well on its way to controlling the high-tech industry.

Foundations of Psychology

...Foundations of Psychology John Stafford University of Phoenix PSY/300 Abstract There are several major approaches to psychological study with several other disciplines falling under these primary approaches. Ranging from psychodynamic to evolutionary perspectives, and rarely sharing a unified paradigm, psychology has advanced since the late 1800s to be a wide-ranging field of human study. Foundations of Psychology The study of psychology found roots in philosophy. However, Wilhelm Wundt, who founded the first psychological laboratory, led the recognition of psychology as a science in 1879. In the mid-to-late 1940s standards were put into place for the doctoral programs designed to place emphasis on a general knowledge of psychology. This knowledge included the history of psychology, and modern disciplines of physiological, comparative, developmental, and social psychology. Students were also required to gain an understanding of research methods, advanced statistics, and psychological scaling (Zlotlow, Peterson, & Nelson, 2011). Behavioral Foundations of Psychology The major topics covered in behavioral psychology include evolution, heredity, and adaptation and learning, mating habits, parenting behaviors, and primate study. Behavioral psychology primarily focuses on the study of animal behavior to obtain a deeper understanding of human behavior. Studies like Ivan Pavlov’s (1849-1936) research on classical conditioning, also referred to as “Pavlov’s Dogs,” he...
