...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...

...WW1 Project Dear Diary, I miss home. Today seems to be worse than the other days. I had a dream last night that I was sitting on the back porch and mum called me in for Sunday Roast. Oh, I can’t wait to go home and see my family and friends. (And mums cooking of course) The weather has been exceedingly bad lately. Between snow and rain and freezing temperatures the trenches are full of mud and slush which makes it difficult to get around. They have placed planks of wood on the ground. It does help a little but it is still hard. Can’t wait for this weather to warm up. I received a package from home today. Mum made her famous fruit cake which I shared with some of the lads. It was a nice change from all the poor food we have been eating. Also in the box were a couple of pairs of socks that my mum knitted for me. They came in handy as my feet are getting bad. Saw the medic yesterday and he seems to think that I have Trench Foot from my feet constantly being wet. Hopefully these new socks will help. There are so many rats around here. Some are as big as cats. They feast on the dead bodies of my fellow soldiers. Sometimes we take pot shots at them. Bold as brass they are. Saw some soldiers eating them. Not sure I can do that. I heard rumors that we will be moving out in a couple of days to a small French town called Villers Bretonneux which has been taken over by the Germans and we are going to see about liberating them. I pray that we are able to free them and that I...

...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...

...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. ...

...1.12 What is the difference between a sample and a population? In most studies, it is difficult to obtain information from the entire population. We rely on samples to make estimates or inferences related to the population. Population means the population of the whole area. Sample means a sample of people taken out of the population to be tested or studied. 1.13 What is the difference between a statistic and parameter? The difference between parameter and a statistic is that a parameter is a number obtained by calculation from a population while statistic is a number calculated from a sample. A statistic is usually used to estimate a parameter. 1.22 A Gallup poll indicated that 74% of Americans who had yet to retire look to retirement accounts as major funding sources when they retire. Interestingly, 40% also said that they looked to stocks or stock market mutual fund investments as major funding sources when they retire. (data extracted from D.Jacobs, “Investors Look Beyond Social Security to Fund Retirement,” www.gallup.com, March 28, 2011). The results are based on telephone interviews conducted March 24, 2011, with 1,000 or more adults living in the United States, aged 18 and older. a. Describe the population of interest. They are the Americans that have not retire yet. b. Describe the sample that was collected. They are the 18 and older group of adults. c. Is 74% a parameter or a statistic? Explain.

...ABSTRACT The computation of sample variances arising from multi-stage cluster sampling schemes or designs are complex and time-consuming. This paper presents a computer software written with Java programing language for implementing some of the available formulars for estimated variances in multi-stage techniques. The software has the advantages of accessibility, cheapness, and ease of use in computing estimated variances in both one-stage, two-stage and three-stage sampling schemes. A data set for estimating number of diabetic patients in Niger state for 2005 was used for illustration. We recommend that computation involving these estimated variances be done with the aid of this software. Keywords: Software, Computation, Multi-stage, Estimated Variances, Time, Data and Diabetic Patients. Introduction Multistage sampling is where the researcher divides the population into clusters, samples the clusters, and then resample, repeating the process until the ultimate sampling units are selected at the last of the hierarchical levels (Okafor, 2002). For instance, at the top level, states may be sampled (with sampling proportionate to state population size); then cities may be sampled; then schools; then classes; and finally students (Goldstein, 1995). Multistage sampling according to Adams et al (2003) is generally used when it is costly or impossible to form a list of all the units in the target population. If, after selecting a sample of primary units, a sample of secondary units is...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Introduction The network services first enter Malaysia in the early 1990s during the management of former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. The network service which perceived to be some kind of policies that may favor the political supporters was not accepted by some parties. Hence, the service was constraint to gain acceptance by public and did not had any improvement. After the Asian financial crisis which hit Malaysia on year 1997-1998, a new era of market was transformed. A standalone policy and regulatory body known as the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) was formed to bring new length of transparency and public liability to technology sector administration. Since then, broadband connections were widely spread in the market. For example, 1700 broadband connections were provided in approximately 800 libraries and expanded to public location where Internet can be found at most towns. As the government keep pushing toward the development of a broadband society, a large total number of broadband connections of all kind increases from 19,000 to over 200,000 in year 2002. While in year 2004, the government determines to set an amount of RM 800 million to build and improve broadband connectivity at countryside and outskirt. As Malaysia pushing ahead to create a broadband society, broadband service provider can grab this opportunity and promote the service to the consumer. Malaysia has been continuously proving...
