...Website Analysis Paper Website Analysis Paper I am going to evaluate the page layout, navigation, and performance based on my knowledge of www.worlds-worst-website.com, website that from my knowledge was designed to be a bad designed website. However I for this paper I will treat it as if it was a website to give facts or information about things on the internet or world. I well discuss what the website has as content, who was this content made for, the way it navigates, and how it can be improved. This website is really bad so my goal is to try to come up for a way this website is bearable. There are meaning things wrong with this website that make it bad. What is on www.worlds-worst-website.com? Well there are many links on this site that take you to different websites. Two of the links send you to same website just to two different pages of that site. One like seems to take you to a game that has something to do with Obama. One is just a video of cats. Then there are links on different dinosaurs and one link about bicycles. There is also a link that makes you take a quiz of a show. This sites content is well everywhere. There is no actual main content on this site. There is just random links to different sites and it makes the site more like a share link site if anything. I am also going to say that the websites it sends you to are better than this site; however I still do not think they are better or really look that impressive. The look really old and need to...

...Associate Level Material Appendix D Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will be answering. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask, “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question you genuinely want to know the answer to. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad (covering too much) or too narrow (covering too little). It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. Part 1: Complete the Research Plan |What is your general topic or area of interest? |Healthy eating | | | | | | ...

...How to write a great research paper Simon Peyton Jones Microsoft Research, Cambridge Why bother? Fallacy we write papers and give talks mainly to impress others, gain recognition, and get promoted Good papers and talks are a fundamental part of research excellence Papers communicate ideas Your goal: to infect the mind of your reader with your idea, like a virus Papers are far more durable than programs (think Mozart) The greatest ideas are (literally) worthless if you keep them to yourself Writing papers: model 1 Idea Do research W rite paper Writing papers: model 2 Idea Do research W rite paper Idea W rite paper Do research Forces us to be clear, focused Crystallises what we don’t understand Opens the way to dialogue with others: reality check, critique, and collaboration Do not be intimidated Fallacy You need to have a fantastic idea before you can write a paper or give a talk. (Everyone else seems to.) Write a paper, and give a talk, about any idea, no matter how weedy and insignificant it may seem to you Do not be intimidated Write a paper, and give a talk, about any idea, no matter how insignificant it may seem to you Writing the paper is how you develop the idea in the first place It usually turns out to be more interesting and challenging that it seemed at first The purpose of your paper The purpose of your paper is...

...DuPuis 10/3/14 Mrs. McKinnon English 112 Blood Bath A very recent study by AAA Foundation, using driving stimulators, says that talking on the phone while driving shows the same behavior as when you drink and drive. They also found out that when people talk on the phone and drive they are more likely to get into an accident than someone drinking and driving. The ad that was chosen for this paper is the ad against talking on the phone and driving. This ad had many points to consider when choosing it. They go against women in this ad, even though it based on only one women in the ad. They really depict why it is so bad to talk on the phone and drive and what it can do to you and your family if something bad were to occur because of it. They also show an amazing and eye catching effect of blood within the ad that makes you really focus on it when first seeing it. After reviewing the ad, it has both good and bad features to it. The woman, and only seen person in the ad, is an Indian lady in a kitchen that is reacting to the phone call she just received. The placement of the woman really shocked me. They put her in the kitchen, “where women are supposed to be”. This lit a spark showing how disrespectful ads can be against sex, race, and religion. They did not think about how the ad looked towards women. The saying had a lot to do with that disrespect. They used “he”, as if women cannot drive. They also made it seem as if it was her fault that she called him. Did he call her or...

...My literacy experience was shaped differently from my peers because of the fact that I wanted to be a teacher. When I had bad teachers all I could do was tell myself the things I did not want to do in my own classroom, and there were no good teachers to compare them to. Until I came to college, I did not have any teachers that influenced me in a positive way. By not having those positive factors in my life, my idea of literacy was very negative. When I was younger I would always get in trouble from my teachers because I was very social. My teachers would send notes home to my parents asking them to control my talkative habits because I was distracting to my peers during class. They would stick me away from my friends, which would not work because...

...describe my health as a writer will be obese. I consider my health as a writer to be obese just for the simple fact that I’m so lazy when it comes to writing. Procrastination is like a permanent disease when I know I have a paper due. It will take me two to three days to start a paper. I have a hard time figuring out the words to express the base of my topic. To be honest it took me my whole weekend trying to get an idea on how I was going to write this essay. My brain will sit there in a daze trying to figure out what to write about then I get writers block. I’m a simple guy so when I have a paper that I need to get done I will try my best not to think or write using simple minded words because I stress so much on what my teacher or professor might think about my writing. Therefore that whole stress factor on writing makes me insecure on my writing abilities. I have never attended any writing groups. The idea of having individuals that I’m not comfortable with is the reason why I never been interested in writing groups. I even get nervous sometimes when my teachers or professors have my classmates read over my work for corrections. I know that it’s good to get feedback from others but I would prefer that feedback to be from the individual that assign the paper or essay. I grew up as a picture book...

...My Approach to Writing By: Michael Czeczeli My goals for this course are fairly simple. My biggest goal for this course is to learn how to write a paper and get my point across without going overboard with run- on sentences and un-needed info. In my career field it’s going to be very important to be able to get my point across with minimal errors and mistakes. Another goal of mine is to learn to overall like writing. When I first started school I couldn’t stand writing papers or sending emails, but since that is the biggest line of communication today I need to learn to love it. I plan on using my writing in many different ways. One major way I plan on using writing is sending emails and letters to customers and employees at work. I hope to be a General Manager or at least Assistant General Manager of a major company or corporation after graduation. I plan to also use my writing throughout my college career. My college career is looking to be a long one since I plan to continue until I receive my masters’ degree in business. A really big use of my writing will be helping my daughters as they journey through school over the years to come. When I set out to write an academic paper I usually set a few goals for myself. The major goal for me is to insure that the reader gets all the information that is intended for them. I want to make sure that they fully understand where I’m coming from without drawing it out too much. Sometimes I have problems with run-on sentences...

...I think the Fifth Amendment is a really good one we have. One of the most important parts of it is that someone cannot be punished without the process of law. There are also some other parts that can benefit us all. Like the power to take personal property to benefit the public. In my paper I will give reason and evidence of why the Fifth Amendment is one of the best. First I will talk to you about not being punished without the process of law. This is a really good law, so someone who is innocent doesn’t get punished for something he didn’t do. This is not the case in other countries. There are a lot of countries that just punish people for no reason. People get killed and thrown in jail in other countries just because maybe someone in the government doesn’t like you. One case of this is in Russia when they had the Olympics there, something went wrong in the opening and the guy who directed it was found dead the next day. A lot of people think that was from the Russian government. That’s why that is a big part of our government. Third I will talk to you about not being forced to talk to the police when arrested. This is a good law because you can be forced to tell them what happened. This is good because you can talk to a lawyer first so you don’t accidentally say something that makes you look bad in the case. This...

...going to tell great stories and not be discouraged about what we write in hear. I know that we are probably going to have a lot of topics like video games, cartoons, or how our vacation went during a holiday or something like that cause all that can tie into writing a good story that people may or may not get. One of my fears besides bad handwriting is getting my papers corrected by someone else and maybe getting a bad grade on it, so I really hope to get used to that happening, cause we all know that there is going to be a lot of grading on papers in this class, so that’s something I want to overcome this quarter. Now about you, I hope that you will be a better teacher in English then some of my teachers that I have in high school and make this class more enjoyable to sit through and not fall asleep in miss most of the class until break. Throughout this quarter im going to be looking out for the exciting stuff that you said was going to happen because hopefully it will be really cool and make me actually want to write something for once cause ill be honest im a bit of a lazy guy that likes to play video games a lot. That is pretty much what I really expect from this class besides getting a good grade but everyone wants that though. Sincerely, Antoine...

...Looking at “The Great Divorce” C.S. Lewis is a wonderful writer who manages to place the supernatural with the spiritual in a single book. In his book, The Great Divorce, Lewis again puts the divine in a setting that would be more appropriate to a fantasy or other work of extreme fiction. This paper shall provide a summary of this book, followed by a personal response to it. The reader will come away from this paper with the knowledge of both The Great Divorce as well as my personal feelings towards this book. The Great Divorce is at its most basic level the quest of a single person through both heaven and hell. The reader could easily make a comparison between this theme and the works of Dante, but in Lewis’ book the reader sees more humor and more realistic occurrences. For example, the narrator enters into the gate to heaven and hell when he steps aboard an ordinary city bus. The book begins with a sad person – the narrator – who is walking in a very evil city. The narrator looks around and sees that everyone in this city is suffering in some way. He then gets on the bus and finds that all the passengers are ghosts. However, as the bus comes close to heaven, these ghosts once more become people and the land becomes less evil. When the narrator steps from the bus he finds that the landscape is very real and because of this he is physically hurt. Yet the ghosts are allowed to pass through this land in order to reach a city that is apparently Heaven. When...

...have to work at home. Now I find myself enjoying some of the writing tasks. I still think some papers are pointless, but I have started to enjoy prompts such as narrative writing. In fact, I have even started to write my own story for fun. As a writer, I’d say I use pretty good language. I can describe things well, I’m good at organization, but I can improve on all of these. I also need to work on concentrating so that I don’t have to work late. A writer always has room to grow. While one may be excellent in some parts of writing, they’re not the best at everything. For me, I’d say I’m good at descriptions,...

...ld students be allowed to grade their teachers? Teachers and students both are the main part of the school. School doesn’t work the either ways. Teachers make us study and improve, while we implement it. Teachers grade us on our basic skills as well as the way we study and improve. But what if the teacher is not capable enough to do so? We should get a chance to grade them too. Almost all schools doesn’t encourage this kind of grading, or maybe none does. According to me this type of grading should be taken into account. Teachers should be graded on their teaching skill, behaviour in class and the interaction level with the students. What if the teacher is very strict and over rules the children or a single child? The child has to remain quiet and keep on facing it, as he doesn’t have any right to oppose him or make him realise, that what he/she is doing is wrong. The grading of the teachers would help the school to understand the children’s problem. If the teacher is not making the students study up to the mark, they have no options other than implementing by self. This kind of problems arise in all the schools but no schools try to solve it or make a better way. If all the schools would help the students this way, the students would love learning as well as will like to interact with the teachers. All the grades given to the teachers should be taken into account and should be checked by the higher authorities. If this happen then all schools would have students who would...

...very paper needs an introduction. In fact, the introduction is the most important part of your paper, because few of your readers will ever read beyond it. And there's not much hope that any of them will if you don't grab their attention from the start. So it's a mystery why so many papers begin with twaddle like this excerpt from a conference on high performance computing. Massively parallel computers (MPCs), characterized by their scalable architectures, are a viable platform on which to solve the so-called grand-challenge problems. These distributed-memory systems are expandable and can achieve a proportional performance increase without changing the basic architecture. In order to take full advantage of scalable hardware, the application software must also be scalable to exploit the increased computing capacity. If you find your thoughts drifting away, don't feel bad; we have evidence that the authors felt the same way - consider the near-meaninglessness of the second sentence. The real weakness, though, is that this extreme form of ``grandmothering'' has no other function than to tell you something you already know, and wouldn't be comprehensible if you didn't already know. The paragraph is entirely superfluous to any reader who knows the meanings of ``scalable'' and ``grand-challenge problems.'' Other readers, who don't know the buzzwords, are discouraged from continuing. Everybody loses. I'm not going to give you the usual advice that you fuss and fret over...

...THIS IS WHAT I SHOULD DO TO IMPROVE MY PERFORMANCE PREPARE BEFORE EVERY SIGNIFICANT EVENT. The best way to improve the performance is by good preparation. For example, if we are going to present a paper or to take an exam our performance mainly lies on how much we prepare on it. By good preparation we will get an idea what we are doing. Sometime even though we are brilliant if we didn’t prepare the result will be bad. A good performance lies on hardworking and how much time we take to prepare for it. For example, if we ask someone who failed or performed low they might have only one answer “I didn’t prepare well”. We must have a good idea what we are going to do. HAVE GOOD CONTROL OVER THE EMOTIONS AND MOODS. Emotions and moods have a good control over the performance. If we are too much emotional it will affect our performance. The emotions are more action oriented and the moods are less action oriented. Research shows that emotions are critical to rational thinking. For example, if we are excited or happy it will have a high positive affect on the performance and if we are sad or nervous it will affect our performance very badly. I still remember the first paper presentation of my life. I felt nervous to speak in front of the audience and it affected my performance. We must have good control over the emotions and moods so that we can improve the performance. HAVE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF REST The adequate amount of rest is a key factor in performance. We must have good...

...good questions can you ask as you read the story that will help you understand the story on a deeper level? • Why does the writer mention the pile of stones and how are they connected to the rest of the story? • What is the reason the writer mentions that Mr. Summers had no children and that wife is scold? And why does she mention it with his job? • What was the reason of the hesitation among the villagers when Mr. Summers asked for some help? • Why do the villagers not want to replace the old lottery box with a new one? Why is the old box so important to them if it is just an old box for the lottery? • Why does Watson the boy draw for himself and his mother? Where is the father? • Why when the distribution of papers is over, when everybody ask “who got it”, did they ask especially about Dunbars and Watsons? Is there a connection to the fact that in both of these cases the father was not there and...
