...For the unit 3 assignment, you must develop a program that reads the file icecream.dat. This file is supplied in the “Files for Unit 3 Assignment” directory in Unit 3. You must use TextIO methods to read the file. As you read the file, count the total number of ice cream cones that were sold. (This is the same as the number of lines that you read from the file.) Also count the total number of "Strawberry" cones that were sold. At the end of the program, print out the total number of cones, the number of Strawberry cones, and the percentage of cones that were Strawberry. Note: To do this program, you have to know when to stop reading from the file. TextIO has a function named TextIO.eof() to check whether the entire file has been read. The value of this function is true if the entire file has been read. The value is false if there is more data in the file. You want to continue reading from the file as long as TextIO.eof() is false. Note: Suppose that flavor is a variable of type String and you want to test whether its value is "Strawberry". To do this, test whether flavor.equals("Strawberry"). (Do not use == to test for equality of Strings.) Each line of the file icecream.dat is an ice cream flavor such as "Vanilla" or "Strawberry." A line represents the sale of one ice cream cone of the given flavor. You must complete your program, test, debug, and execute it. You must submit your java code file. The output of your program must be captured by either copying the content in...

Dimasacat. Mariel Garejo, Nikki Rose S. Pasia, Nekke Lettie Joy A. Submitted to: Engr. Marielli Katherine C. Untalan February 16, 2013 I. Introduction: Consumer acceptability tests are one form of quantitative affective test. Quantitative affective tests are those which determine the responses of a large group (50 to 400) of consumers to a set of questions regarding preference, liking, sensory attributes, etc. The analysts use Hedonic Scale Rating Test for determining the consumer acceptability of the product sample. This method shows the degree of liking for a product sample to be evaluated and indirectly shows preference. However, it does not show the reason for acceptability. In addition, it cannot be used for quality control purposes since it does not show product development. II. Objectives: 1. To learn to conduct acceptability tests. 2. To know and understand the different types of consumer acceptability tests 3. To understand the principle involved in consumer acceptability test 4. To learn and understand how to analyze data from consumer acceptability test III. Materials: * Watermelon wine ...

...This scene illustrates how Taylor is angry about the baby and doesn’t want anything to do with Nate. (“‘I’m pregnant’… My voice escaping my throat sharply didn’t belong to me; it was that of an animal… I wanted to scream the ugly truth in his face but I couldn’t raise my voice above a shuddering whisper…”) The author uses sensory detail in this scene to show how furious Taylor really is and how mixed her emotions are. They fight over the baby, Taylor saying it’s her baby and Nate saying it’s both of theirs. This contributes to the theme by showing how discouraged and furious Taylor is and how she doesn’t let it completely get her down. The final example is when Taylor starts to lose her grip on reality. This scene explains how Taylor is practically walking into insanity. “ ‘Are you lost?’ In my mind, yes, I was nearly gone. The thought of passing into insanity crept up in my head with clawing, pale arms, the lifeless face turned up in agony. The flashbacks would kill me if the house didn’t. I was lost” (Lindt 149)The author crafts interesting word choice into this...

...Sensory imagery is an incredibly important aspect of any well written novel. It is what allows the reader to experience what is going on in the story with more than just an intellectual understanding of the material. Without these sensory details it becomes easy for a reader to dismiss or misunderstand what a character is going through at any point in the story. An excellent example of both sensory description and imagery is when Laila’s home is destroyed in a rocket attack. The beginning of the scene is of Laila helping bring her family’s belongings out of the house. While on the surface this sounds extraordinarily dull the choice of phrasing and inclusion of sensory details instead creates an experience in the readers mind that is worth having. “Laila kept shuffling between the house and the yard, back and forth.” (Hosseini 192). Hosseini could have just as easily told the readers that she was moving stuff out of the house over and over, instead one can see how she is moving thus enhancing the readers enjoyment of an otherwise rather drab scene. These sensory descriptions increase in intensity and depth as the passage continues. Laila is summoned by Mammy and Hosseni paints a picture with words, “The sun bright and warm, caught in her greying hair, shown on her thin drawn face. Mammy was wearing the same cobalt blue dress… a youthful dress meant for a young woman, but, for a moment Mammy looked to Laila like an old woman with stringy arms and sunken temples and slow eyes...

...Attention Attention is the behavioral and cognitive process of selectively concentrating on a discrete aspect of information; it is “the concentration of mental effort on sensory or mental events (Gross, 2009). Selective attention is attending to one thing rather than another. Cocktail party syndrome is switching our attention to something that was previously unattended. Attentional capacity is how many things we can attend to at the same time. Many of the contemporary ideas of attention are based on the premise that there are available to the human observer a myriad of cues that surround us at any given moment. Our neurological capacity is too limited to sense all of the millions of external stimuli, but even were these stimuli detected, the brain would be unable to process all of them; our information-processing capacity is too limited. Our sensory system, functions well if the amount of information being processed is within its capability. If not, it will fail because it is overloaded. The role of attention is to filter out unimportant information and selectively enhancing salient input for further processing” (Chennu; Craston; wyble, et al. 2009). Attention was introduced in 1958 by Donald Broadbent, a British psychologist, who wrote in an influential book, Perception and Communication. According to Gross (2009), Broadbent proposed that attention was the result of a limited-capacity information-processing system. Broadbent’s theory proposes that the world is made...

...Running Head: A VARK Analysis A VARK Analysis of One Student’s Learning Style LorieAnn T Dailey Grand Canyon University: NRS-429v April 22, 2012 A VARK Analysis of One Student’s Learning Style This paper will discuss Fleming and Bonwell’s VARK analysis of learning styles. (2002). It will also discuss the results from this student’s use of the VARK instrument and will compare those results to this student’s own observations about her preferred learning styles or methods. Next, this paper will discuss possible changes this student could make in her learning methods that might tend to make her a more successful student in view of her results on VARK questionnaire. Finally, this paper will briefly address the analysis of this student’s learning style in the specific context of e-learning or distance learning. VARK, an acronym for Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic, is a system developed in its current form by Neil Fleming which uses a sixteen-question instrument to evaluate a part of student’s learning styles. (Fleming & Bonwell, 2002, FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)). While VARK is commonly referred to as an analysis of learning styles, that is technically inaccurate. While “learning style”, as the term is generally understood, refers to several different factors such as working with others vs. working alone, physical conditions of the learning environment, and even biorhythms, VARK analyzes only one aspect of learning styles: the way a student receives...

...VARK Analysis Paper Sensory preferences influence the way in which students learn. Neil Fleming’s VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic sensory modalities) Model is one of the most widely used tools to categorize various types of learning styles. Fleming notes these sensory modalities can occur separately or in combinations and can alter over time within the person. This tool can be used to guide teachers in preparing classes that utilize each of these areas according to the pupils’ needs. Students may also utilize the VARK to discover their favored learning style and take full advantage of their educational experience by utilizing the tools that will benefit them the most. (Fleming, 2011) Having taken the VARK questionnaire, at http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=questionnaire, it took less than five minutes and then the results were quickly obtained. Individual scores received indicated a multimodal learning preference which included almost equal weights in visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic with a total score of 50. It was noted that around 60% of people fit within this category. Personal preferred learning strategies have been an obvious combination of visual, aural, reading & writing, and to a lesser extent kinesthetic. The strongest of these has been visual to the point that not only is color pen or font used but also various colors of highlighting. This strategy has been used for over 35 years and has worked well.

...VARK Analysis Paper Theresia Torczon Grand Canyon University: NRS 429V 8/24/2014 VARK Analysis Paper The results of the VARK questionnaire revealed a multimodal learning preference, with the scores being strongest in the modes of Visual, Read/Write and Kinesthetic (VRK). The multiple preferences suggest a greater ability to match or align the modes in learning or interaction with others. The total VARK score exceeds the 30 needed to show a tendency to use all preferred modes in combination to achieve a proper understanding ("Multimodal study strategies," 2011). Robertson, Smellie, Wilson, & Cox (2011) noted that students can enhance their future learning by identifying the four characteristics of learning styles used in VARK (Visual, Auditory, Reader/writer, Kinesthetic). Watching people in action such as on videos as well as using diagrams and charts are examples that would benefit those with a preference for the visual learning style. Those who prefer the auditory learning style typically enjoy talking about ideas and situations with others as well as hearing stories from them. In the case of those who are classified as reader/writers, they are known as prolific note-takers who rely on textbooks and writing down facts and stories in journals. For the kinesthetic learners, they favor hands-on experience and practice in "real world" settings as well as global learning. In addition to the four different sensory modalities, the VARK questionnaire includes the extra...
