...Statistics project ABC Commercial lengths vs MTV The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis; MTV commercials are longer than ABC commercials. To do this the study was designed to be Quantitative: consist of numeric measurements and counts. Our study is measured in seconds so it was Quantitative. The level of measurement used Ratio; because in this study a zero entry is an inherent zero and not just a place on a scale. You cannot for example have -5 seconds of commercials; the lowest amount would be zero which would mean there were no commercials. The way the study was performed was Observational study: the researcher observes and measures characteristics of a part of a population but does not change existing conditions. Our study is observational because during the course of the research only observatory measurements were taken. The persons doing the study did not in any form interact with subject to change the result. The sampling technique was random sample, a sample in which every member of a population has an equal chance of being selected. The study is a random sample because the study did not test a specific time frame. There are no apparent confounding variables, however if all measurements were taken in the same timeframe, they may not show the whole picture. For example a show that has a more loyal following may be able to have longer commercials knowing the audience will still be there when it’s over. To process the data, the first thing done was the creation...

...Pursuing an online MBA program over an on-site program Shirley Ann Gates Bus 620: Managerial Marketing (MAC1042A) Professor Nancy Waldron November 16, 2010 Executive Summary of Marketing Plan In today’s world, being able to obtain an adequate amount of education will increase the chances of better opportunities in the job market. Students entering MBA programs are now given a choice to obtain their education online opposed to onsite. Both MBA online and onsite programs share a common goal, and that is to assist students in obtaining their degrees. MBA online programs are convenient, because they are available to the students, any place, anywhere, and anytime, and will allow students to be able to complete their assignments within their own timetable opposed to an onsite setting, that you must meet the timetable of the facility in order to obtain your educational needs. According to Terry (2007) “online instruction provides flexibility for students in that it reduces the often substantial transaction and opportunity cost associated with traditional campus offerings. The flexibility in structures is countered by potential problems including lack of personal interaction (Fan & Lewis, 2001), the elimination of a sense of community (James & Voight, 2001), and the perception of lower quality (Terry, 2001). On sites courses have some advantages whereas, it allows students to interact with their peers, attend lectures, and physically work in groups. There are...

...this new calendar better facilitates learning. Year-round education has the potential to bring economy, accountability, and educational efficiency to the schools. While Year-Round schooling can save money, the impact on academic achievement is uncertain (Graves, McMullen and Rouse). This type of school system impacts students, teachers, parents and the community in both positive and negative ways. The traditional school calendar has been in effect for more than a century. Students have relied on a 180-day school year with a long summer vacation. Originally, the school calendar was organized so that children would have the summer off to help their parents work on the farm. Although most communities no longer depend heavily on agriculture and children no longer carry on the responsibilities they once did, our society continues to follow the traditional school calendar. The debate surrounding YRE (Year-Round Education) generally focuses on five broad categories: professional staffing and development, administrative issues, student achievement, parental and community concerns, and cost factors (Opheim, Mohajer and Read). The term “Year-Round Education” may be misleading. It doesn’t mean that students attend school Monday through Friday all year long. As Elaine Warrick-Harris states, “perhaps a better name for the concept would be “continuous learning,” “all-seasons learning,” or even...

...In this society school is short. There should should be longer school days for many reasons. One reason is that there will be less homework. There will be less homework because after they finish their homework for the class they are in they can continue to their other work for that class or other classes. Another reason why the school day should be longer is that they could add an extra period without charge to do work in or read books. During the week kids could get so much more education because of longer school hours. Science the school day is so long they might be able to have an extra period for just homework, reading, and asking questions. Always remember better education means better lives. When school days are longer there is always...

... that to a great extent keeps the language of the original. Although an editor has made decisions about which words or passages to delete, the article or book is presented as the work of the original author. A paraphrase differs from an abridgement in that it is written in language different from the original. It follows the order of the original text and, unlike a summary, it recasts everything, not just the main ideas. It may be shorter than the original, but it could be longer. A summary is generally much shorter than the original text. It includes only key ideas and omits the details. It may or may not follow the order of the original. Because you must decide how all of the ideas fit together,...

...variables that influence one's decision on what eduction program is best. Typically vocational programs are more affordable, and offer accelerated classes, and some even offer job placement opportunities after completion. However by attending these schools, there are some negative aspects such as the rarity to transfer any credits to an accredited school, the limitation of only a narrow skill set, and narrowing opportunities for career advancement. The first positive aspect of vocational training is the cost. The lower price to attend such a program maybe the best, if not the only option for people who need to acquire job training. Another positive is the shorter lengths of classes make it an attractive option to many people who do not want to commit to a four year degree. Some vocational training programs are only a few months long allowing quick completion and allowing graduates to search for jobs quickly. The flexibility of some of these programs also appeal to people that need to schedule around family and current employment. One negative aspect of vocational training or specialized schools is that it may hinder any kind of new job opportunities, promotions into better positions, or into any kind of management role. It may also stunt wage increases due to a limited skill set. Even though it is more expensive and takes longer to complete it is still considered by many to be better than any kind of vocational training. Vocational training also limits your options if you...

...of Artwork Sold and Inventory. The ASC 330-10-30-10 said that “The cost to be matched against revenue from a sale may not be the identified cost of the specific item which is sold, especially in cases in which similar goods are purchased at different times and at different prices.” The ASC 330-10-30-9 said that “Cost for inventory purposes may be determined under any one of several assumptions as to the flow of cost factors, FIFO, average, and last-in first-out LIFO.” Under this code said the company should choose one of the methods to record their inventory cost, lower of cost or market is an adjustments for their inventories. The ASC 330-10-35-1/2 said that company should adjust their inventory cost when the utility of the goods is no longer as great as their cost, the loss should charge against the revenue. The ASC 330-10-50-1 told us that “The basis of stating inventories shall be consistently applied and shall be disclosed in the financial statements; whenever a significant change is made therein, there shall be disclosure of the nature of the change and, if material, the effect on income.” The Our advice: WAG should record their inventories’ basic cost and show a change about the adjustment, this adjustment should charge from the revenue. Also, WAG should use FIFO, LIFO or Average method to record their cost of goods sold. As the revenue part mentioned, if the company should not record the revenue of the $50,000 sales, they need to deduct the related cost for the sales...

...Teachers don’t get paid much and aren’t treated with respect. In Sweden, teachers get paid as much as a lawyer or a doctor. Not just anyone can become a teacher. If someone wants to be a teacher they have to get into a program but it’s highly competitive. Only the top five to ten percent of the applicants get in, then university is two though five years to complete the degree. The Swedish and American education systems are drastically different. In America if a teacher is absent he/she will just get replaced with a substitute, while in Sweden, class would get cancelled or delayed until the teacher gets back. Unlike in America, in Sweden students don’t go to school everyday and most of them have block schedule. The Swedish school year is even shorter than the one here. Here students go to school everyday for eight hours a day, five days a week. While over there every day is different. Some days a student will have class for 2 hours, another day 4 hours, and the next day there might not me class....

...the school and 1 new person came here and 2 people changed classes to take their places. Our class likes to bug our math teacher, but I don’t really bother with her and make her mad unlike some of the other kids in my class. She is also our 3rd math teacher in the 3 years we went to this school. This 4th quarter is kind of dumb right now because we have 2 major writing projects right on top of each other and I have amazing writing skills to which I cannot keep up with the projects. I personally think that 2nd quarter was my favorite quarter this year. We went on trips that I enjoyed better than other quarters. My favorite trip this year was probably to Florida Polytechnic University. I usually just sit up near the front of the FAP bus and listen to music or talk to the people behind me. Also I take the bus route every morning and most Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays but instead of sitting up towards the front of the bus I sit in the back corner and sometimes when the seat is not there in the afternoons I’ll sit in the spot where the seat should be up until the bus gets to a longer stop like GCMS or Fox Chapel. My bus stop now has other human beings at it besides me and our new bus driver is a lot more consistent with arriving at the stop than the old bus driver. The bus route is longer but shorter in the mornings now because we don’t stop at GCMS then go back to our school anymore which took about 10 minutes longer. That is all folks about this year due to my failure to recall...

...Unit 7- sociological perspectives for health and social care P1 – Explain the principal sociological perspectives Sociological Perspectives | Main Points | Criticisms | Functionalism | Functionalist believe that just as the body functions through the efficient interrelationship of major organs and has disease, so the different institutions in society each have particular contributions to make. They work together and use methods of social control to deal with deviant members or groups, to ensure that society functions smoothly. Parsons (1902-1979) saw society as a system made up of interrelated institutions, which contributed to its smooth running and continuity. He thought that the main role of an institution is to socialise individuals and ensure that they understood the underlying values of their society and behave in acceptable ways. Murdock(1897-1985) did a study of the family, examined over 250 societies and concluded that in all societies the family performed 4 functions: * Sexual function which was allowed for the expression of sexuality in an approved context * Reproductive function which provided stability for the rearing children * Socialisation included the responsibility of teaching children the acceptable ways of behaving in society * Economic function meant that food, shelter, and financial security had to be provided for the family membersParsons(1951) argued that the family had only two basic functions which were: * The primary socialisation of children...

...With longer days but a shorter school week, students and teachers will miss less class time, because classes would be longer. As an example, if I had an orthodontist appointment during school hours, I could be back sooner in schedule than if hours were only fifty minutes. Likewise, students and teachers have a higher chance of not missing school at all. When the students and staff of SWMS need to schedule an appointment, friday provides a non-school day to have it done. This way, mine and everyone’s appointments can be done without even missing school. Unfortunately, with the five-day school week, students and staff of SWMS must miss valuable time from their school week or their weekend when they have appointments and such. WIth a four-day school week, this would not be the case at...

...Knowing the legal implications of any endeavor can be beneficial If I were the teacher one of the first pieces of legislation I would review would be the IDEA Act. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that a continuum of placement options is available to meet the needs of students with disabilities. The law also requires that: "to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities. Are educated with children who are not disabled, and that special classes, separate schooling, or other removals of children with disabilities from the regular environment occur only when nature or the severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be satisfactorily."IDEA Sec. 612 (5) Prior to IDEA, over 4 million children with disabilities were denied appropriate access to public education. Many children were denied entry into public school altogether; however, some were placed in segregated classrooms or in regular classrooms without adequate support for their special needs. The IDEA ensures that every disabled child has available to them a FAPE emphasizing special education and related services “designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for employment and independent living”. A key component of the IDEA Act is the...

...throught the correctional institutuion or know someone that has. More than millions are incarcerated in federal prison, state prisons and county jail. Many people are rearrested while on parole or probation. On top of all this, correctional facilities have many problems like undereducated inmate, prison overcrowding, rehabilitation, too cushy prison conditions, and the need for longer sentences. Undereducated The fact is that , if parolees are released with the skills needed to obtain and keep a job, they will find themselved back in the same place where they just left, jail. Finding meaning jobs, getting GED's and post secondary education and a strond support factor is need to keep them on the streets. Many inmates are undereducated with low reading, writing and communication skills. Those who participate in correctional educational programs have a better chance of staying in the community and finding a job or career. Comparing now to ten years ago, prisons were just meant for punishing. Now, correctional facilites are opening more options to inmate to rehabilitate. GED classes, law books, parenting classes, anger management are more available. More programs are designed more to the inmates needs than academic. For example, many have mental and substance abuse needs. With the right education, inmates and correctional are looking for ways to eliminate these problems before a person is re-entered into society. Inmates need help to adapt to the outside world they are about to enter...
