...Introduction to Chemistry I (MAE1106) Chapter 1: Properties, Measurement and Units Matter: All things we can see, or touch, whether books, pencils, telephones, or people as they have some thing in common. They are all composed of matter which is defined as anything that takes up space and has mass. Matter is generally considered to be a substance (often a particle) that has rest mass and (usually) also volume. Mass and weight are not really the same. The mass of a body is a measure of its resistance to a change in its velocity. Weight refers to the force with which an object of a certain mass is attracted by gravity to the earth or other body that may be near such as moon. The volume is determined by the three-dimensional space it occupies, while the mass is defined by the usual ways that mass is measured. Matter is also a general term for the substance of which all observable physical objects consist Properties of Substances Physical (Properties and Changes) A physical property is one that is displayed without any change in composition. (Intensive or Extensive) 1. Intensive: A physical property that will be the same regardless of the amount of matter. density: m/v • color: The pigment or shade • conductivity: electricity to flow through the substance • malleability: if a substance can be flattened • luster: how shiny the substance looks 2. Extensive: A physical property that will change if the amount of matter changes. • mass: how much...

...Revised 4.07.10 IGETC 2010-2011 INTERSEGMENTAL GENERAL EDUCATION TRANSFER CURRICULUM The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a general education program that community colleges transfer students may use to fulfill lower-division general education requirements in either the UC or the CSU system without the need, after transfer, to take additional lowerdivision general education courses. The IGETC pattern is most useful for students who want to keep their options open before making a final decision about transferring to a particular UC or CSU campus. Completion of IGETC does NOT guaranteed admission, nor is it required for admission. Some students may be better served by taking courses, that fulfill the CSU General Education-Breadth requirements or the requirements of the UC campus or other college to which they plan to transfer. Students pursuing majors that require extensive lower-division major preparation may not find the IGETC option to be advantageous. Engineering, Architecture, and Liberal Studies are examples of those majors. Roosevelt and Revelle Colleges at UC San Diego, the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, and the College of Environmental Design (Architecture & Landscape Architecture majors) at UC Berkeley will not accept the IGETC. Schools of Engineering do not generally recommend the IGETC. Before selecting any courses, please see a counselor for assistance in planning your program.

Although ‘language learning’ is considered less important than language acquisition, most of what is learned has been coming from the formal teaching in school. It is also said that the acquisition of grammatical structures follows a ‘natural order’ which is predictable. For a given language, some grammatical structures tend to be acquired early while others late. It can be derived that language learning could also be predictable and that grammatical structures...

...like Mulroy, is recognized as a “key figure responsible for reintroducing classical rhetorical theory to composition studies” (61). One of Corbett’s highly acclaimed articles involves the idea of the rhetoric of the open hand and the closed fist. The closed fist symbolizes the tight discourse of the philosopher; the open hand symbolizes the relaxed discourse of the orator. This theory can be very useful to the modern composition classrooms, and I agree with the rhetorical aspect of writing instead of the process of how one writes; I do not find Corbett’s work useful for me as a teacher. Corbett goes all the way back to the disciplines of rhetoric and logic that were incorporated in the English Renaissance schools. To me, this theory is too structured, and students need to be motivated to write freely and thus begin to enjoy writing. Students who can overcome the fear of writing can then be taught the different forms of writing techniques as well as the grammatical aspects of writing. In contrast to Corbett, Peter Elbow is considered the pioneer of freewriting. Elbow urges teachers to help students express themselves while they write by using multiple drafts and by engaging students, in what he calls, classroom writing, in which students generate ideas by participating in a class discussion and then writing based on the discussion. I strongly believe that we as English teachers must go back to the basics of writing and help the struggling students who know nothing about...

...linguistic units, such as root words, affixes, parts of speech, intonation/stress, or implied context (words in a lexicon are the subject matter of lexicology). Morphological typology represents a method for classifying languages according to the ways by which morphemes are used in a language—from the analytic that use only isolated morphemes, through the agglutinative ("stuck-together") and fusional languages that use bound morphemes (affixes), up to the polysynthetic, which compress many separate morphemes into single words.(One of the definitions for Morphology) While words are generally accepted as being (with clitics) the smallest units of syntax, it is clear that in most languages, if not all, words can be related to other words by rules (grammars). For example, English speakers recognize that the words dog and dogs are closely related—differentiated only by the plurality morpheme "-s", which is only found bound to nouns, and is never separate. Speakers of English (a fusional language) recognize these relations from their tacit knowledge of the rules of word formation in English. They infer intuitively that dog is to dogs as cat is to cats; similarly, dog is to dog catcher as dish is to dishwasher, in one sense. For example, English speakers recognize that the words dog, dogs and dog-catcher are closely related. English speakers recognize these relations by virtue of the unconscious linguistic knowledge they have of the rules of word-formation processes in English. Therefore...

JPPSS Implementation of Activities in the Classroom Incorporation of activities into lesson plans is critical to the successful implementation of the Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum. The Comprehensive Curriculum indicates one way to align instruction with Louisiana standards, benchmarks, and grade-level expectations. The curriculum is aligned with state content standards, as defined by grade-level expectations (GLEs), and organized into coherent, time-bound units with sample activities and classroom assessments to guide teaching and learning. The units in the curriculum have been arranged so that the content to be assessed will be taught before the state testing dates. While teachers may substitute equivalent activities and assessments based on the instructional needs, learning styles, and interests of their students, the Comprehensive Curriculum should be a primary resource when planning instruction. Grade level expectations—not the textbook—should determine the content to be taught. Textbooks and other instructional materials should be used as resource in teaching the grade level expectations...

...Research Paper Your name: Matthew Turner Your Capella email address: mturner86@capellauniversity.edu The course number: IT3006 Instructor name: Professor Julie Krummen Date submitted: 2/26/16 Title of your paper: PIPA & SOPA Introduction In this paper, the topics to be discussed are what is PIPA and SOPA, prior related acts or laws, impacts on the first and fourth amendment, impacts on e-commence, supporters, and oppositions. This topic may seem old, but it could always come back later. Back in 2011 and 2012, there was a big fight between Congress and the Internet sites. This fight was over PIPA and SOPA which people associated it with censoring the Internet. However, it was much more than just censoring the Internet. It violated not one, but two amendments that are granted to every U.S. citizen. It also had the potential to hurt e-commence. As Wikipedia said on one of it’s blackout pages in 2012 “Imagine a world without free knowledge” and that is exactly what these sites were trying to protect. Yes, they may have won for now, but there is always a chance these acts could show up again. What is PIPA? PIPA is short for PROTECT IP Act or Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act. This bill was introduced to the Senate on May 12, 2011 (U.S. Senate, 2011). This act would “enhance enforcement against rogue websites operated and registered overseas” (U.S. Senate, 2011). Once the Attorney General gets a court...
