...Article Summary With online education becoming more widely accepted and available around the world, many people wonder about the differences between traditional classrooms and virtual classrooms. One difference is student participation and communication. In a traditional classroom setting, some students are able to earn credit by just attending class, not necessarily participating in class discussions. What do those types of students look like in an online environment? Does their lack of participation affect the learning process for others? How does class participation equate to student success? With this case study, the authors sought to answer those questions exactly. More particularly, the study examined online students who fail to fully engage but are still able to show educational progress, referred to as read-only participants or ROPs (Nagel, Blignaut, & Cronje, 2009). The authors wanted to understand the connection between participation and communication and course success. They organized an eight-week online Masters course using WebCT as the learning management system (LMS). Twenty-two middle-aged students, from all over the world, participated in the course. Students were required to participate through class discussion via forum posts, group assignments, and other research. A collaboration rubric was created by the students as a group assignment and used by their peers to measure their group participation. After the course, the facilitators...

...when I need to remember or do a summery to know what the chapter is about. Sometimes I go over them to just in case if I need it for a quiz or if the teacher ask questions about the chapter. Information and knowledge we use it all the time with journals, books, magazines and websites. Like in the article it says you cannot learn anything unless you have previous knowledge of the meaning of the symbols. In the paragraphs studying, tough courses, and during the lecture they give details and ideas. Studying we use all the time it is college you need to study for quizzes, test, or later in the future if it helps keeping all this knowledge in your brain is a lot of material but at the same time is good. Because your getting your education and skills that not so many people get. Tough courses is all the time like at first I thought gust was going to be hard because we have to read all the time was college is about. But actually you learned new things. For example I want to go to a university when I'm done with my basics I need some knowledge what I'm getting myself into. During the lecture gust and math helps me with the notes that's how I get prepared for the test and my English class we just do what the teacher tell us to do.

...Article Critique | * | This week’s critique I decided to do my paper on how researchers unlocked how cells determine their functions. In the reading, researchers found how proteins bind to target DNA and activate certain genes will function in the body. The protein that researchers found was called epigenetic activators, which they found another protein pretty similar to one that they had found in a fruit fly, called the Ash 1 protein. These genes turn on expression on specific target genes. The activators recognize also bind to the target gene was unknown to researchers and further study was conducted to pin point why. While conducting their research, they found that the epigenetic activator Ash1 enlisted specific genes through cell types for certain non-coding RNA, stated Dr Sauer. While Ash1 binds to the targeted DNA elements called Thrithorax-response elements (TREs) which is located in the Ultrabithorax. How this works, non-coding RNA is produced and retained at the TRE of UBX, helping activate the expression of the UBX gene, by doing so this function attacks the Ash1 to the TREs. This stage changes the function of the cells. Knowing this, they can now use the non-coding RNA to actively control the destiny. Over several years studies were conducted on how noncoding RNAs silences genes. The works that Dr Sauer and others have now gained a wider knowledge then what was previously thought to be. They had suggested understood how the genes could be silence, now they...

...Slum tourism Summery Do ”Slum tours” profit off the poor. Lori Robertson writes on BBC travel website the article “Ethical traveller Column”. Slum tourism is in a growth development. It has become a very popular travel destination, to go out and experience some of the world’s biggest slums. American and European tourist agrees to pay highly amounts to visit slums like the Dharavi in Mumbai, India. “But is slum tourism profiting off the poor”, Tricia Barnett is asking. As former director of an English tourism concern, she is worried that the tour money spent by tourist, ends up in the hands of a local middleman, when the community are not involved. Chris Way is founder of the Reality tour and travels, who arranges the tours in Dharavi. He insures that the firm profit also benefits the poor. They have set up their own charity organisation, which among others runs a kindergarten and a community centre. The tours also helps to confront some stereotypes, turn down some prejudices and gives tourists a better understanding of socially and culture underneath the surface of the big city. Outline Slum tourism has a long history. Poor people have always been interested in how wealthy people might live, and it also works the other way around. The two basic sides of the argument are pretty obvious. One side is, that it is wrong to exploit the poor and to violate their privacy. On the other hand, it is showing a better awareness and visibility on a lifestyle far from...

...Partnership Accounting Finding of The Study Definition A partnership is an association of two or more persons to carry on as co-owners of a business for profit. Partnerships are sometimes used in small retail, service, or manufacturing companies. Also accountants, lawyers, and doctors find it desirable to form partnerships with other professionals in the field. Characteristics of Partnership Partnerships are fairly easy to form. People form partnerships simply by a verbal agreement, or more formally, by written agreement. We explain the principal characteristics of partnerships in the following sections. Association of Individuals A partnership is a legal entity. A partnership can own property (land, buildings, equipment), and can sue or be sued. A partnership also is an accounting entity. Thus, the personal assets, liabilities, and transactions of the partners are excluded from the accounting records of the partnership, just as they are in a proprietorship. The net income of a partnership is not a taxed as a separate entity. But a partnership must file an information tax return showing partnership net income and each partner’s share of that income. E ach partners share is taxable as personal tax rates, regardless of the amount of net income each withdraws from the business during the year . Mutual Agency Mutual agency means that each partner acts on behalf of the partnership when engaging in partnership business. The act of...

...topic in many legal systems alike. Although it was removed from the Canadian Criminal Code[ Criminal Code, RSC 1985, c C-46 s 745] in 1976, capital punishment remains alive and well, still being in effect in 32 U.S. States. This begs the questions of what the reasons supporting this irrevocable form of punishment are, as well as the counter arguments that follow. In full support of the former, in his article titled “On Deterrence and the Death Penalty”[ Van Den Haag, Ernest (1969) On Deterrence and the Death Penalty. The Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science, 60(2) ], Ernest Van Den Haag outlines his thoughts which support the use of the death penalty and how it might deter heinous crimes against society. The first section of this paper will give a summery of Van Den Haag’s thoughts, which he outlined in the article, including the main points and arguments made which support his view. Following this summary, an in depth analysis of how the article relates to my personal beliefs and understanding of the topic will take place. Summary In section one of the article, the author brings up the point that the purposes of the death penalty must always be understood as being one of two things: doing justice or deterring others. Van den Haag points out that any other aim of a justice system, such as rehabilitation, would not be met by this form of punishment. It is his belief that opponents contesting the use of the death penalty must show that that neither purpose is...

Remember what you said or did and try to look at it from the other persons side Slide 4 DEFINITIONS read slide Slide 5 CHARACTERISTICS OF DISCRIMINATION Overt – “Male only club” “Female only club” (curves) Hidden – Banks or other financial institutions which “red-line” certain areas for personnel or business loans. Direct – Sexual harassment Indirect – Placing a specific, unnecessary, requirement on a job or position would tend to eliminate groups who historically have had less educational opportunities than majority groups. Intentional – Racial slurs Unintentional –( how many people here are left handed?) Designing weapons to be fired operated from the right side. Slide 6 INSTITUTIONAL DISCRIMINIATION Slide 7 TWO TYPES OF RACISM 1. Generally minorities, who lack power and institutional support, cannot practice racism. They can, however, act out racist behaviors. 2. Institutional discrimination is also based on gender in some institutions. i.e; females in the infantry field. So if a group has power and institutional support then by definition they can practice racism Slide 8 WARNING VERY VERY OFFENSIVE Slide 9 SEXISM Like racism, it is difficult for women, who lack institutional support...

...How to live a sustainable life Summery In “Sustainable Living at Home in Australia” Linda Cockburn tells us about how she and her family moved and lived in their backyard for 6 months, because they wanted to appreciate life more and they wanted to learn for good, that material goods isn’t the only thing in life. In the 6 months they lived in the backyard they used the yard and animals for food and power. They drank the rainwater and they used the sun for energy. Linda Cockburn asserts that they learned a lot during that period. For example they learned to mix their own shampoo, and make their own toilet paper. After the course where the family lived outside, Linda Cockburn published her book “Living The Good Life”, which is about how the family discovered things they never knew before, and how much happier they became. On the top of the event a lot of people have sent Linda Cockburn praise and said that the book has helped them a lot.

...provided "limited" coverage on the events taking place in Spain that provided pro-Franco support or ignored the war all together. Former British Intelligence Agent Charles Duff sought to provide the British public with accurate information about the war in Spain through his publication's Spain at War: A Monthly Journal of Facts and Pictures and the War in Spain: A Weekly Summery. Both of these publications highlight the horrors of the war and support the Republic, while capturing British support for Republican struggles. However, Spain at War: A Monthly Journal of Facts and Pictures appeal was "not based upon political or religious creeds or dogmas, but on those principles of morality which have been recognized throughout the ages as humane and progressive." This appeal to humanity and morality is quite intriguing because it follows a tone similar to that of George Orwell. In Homage to Catalonia, Orwell notes that it "was in late December 1936, less than seven months ago as I write, and yet it is a period that has already receded into enormous distance… I had come to Spain with some notion of writing newspaper articles, but I had joined the militia almost immediately, because at that time and in that atmosphere, it seemed the only conceivable things to do." These tones are quite similar because they appeal to the reader's humanity to help gather support for the victims of the civil war, rather than out rightly asking for the public to support the Republican Government. In this April...
