...Project — the dreariest part of junior year. The Columnist Project is a thoroughly designed project that utilizes all aspects and lessons of Advance Placement English Language and Composition that we have learned this year. Through this project, I not only found an amazing writer, I also gained the ability to aid the next set of APELAC students when it is their time to complete this project, and as a survivor of the Columnist Project, I was able to increase my canon of memory, style, and my ability to write as a whole. Suzanne Fields is not only a skilled writer, but is also an independent thinker. When I began the project, I wanted to find a strong, independent woman who was not afraid to voice her opinion on an issue — Suzanne...

...(Make sure each paragraph says in this study they hypothesized this) Netflix has become widely popular over the past couple of years. Many college students spend late nights binging on their favorite television shows. There has not been much research done, on the effects that Netflix has on students, specifically those in college. Although, there have been several studies done on the effects media has on secondary students, as well as college students. Our study will try to determine whether watching Netflix while doing schoolwork will effect the efficiency, and accuracy of the task given to them. In order to get a better understanding of what we might expect from our study, we chose to analyze five studies that discuss media and technology in regards to secondary and college students. Watching Netflix, and working on homework is an example of multitasking. Multitasking is simply splitting attention, between two or more items. How can multitasking affect the everyday student? We believe that all media and technology can affect a student while he or she is trying to complete homework outside of the classroom. The studies below discuss data based on students multitasking with media and technology....

...Explain any 15 theories of learning, showing clearly how they can be applied to make learning effective Learning theories are conceptual frameworks describing how information is absorbed, processed, and retained during learning. Cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences, as well as prior experience, all play a part in how understanding, or a world view, is acquired or changed and knowledge and skills retained. 1. Behaviorism theory Behaviorism (or behaviourism) is a systematic approach to the understanding of human and animal behavior. Behaviorism combines elements of philosophy, methodology, and psychological theory. It emerged in the early twentieth century as a reaction to depth psychology and other traditional forms of psychology, which often had difficulty making predictions that could be tested experimentally It assumes that the behavior of a human or animal is a consequence of that individual's history, including especially reinforcement and punishment, together with the individual's current motivational state and controlling stimuli. Thus, although behaviorists generally accept the important role of inheritance in determining behavior, they focus primarily on environmental factors. 2. Cognitivism theory Cognitivists argued that the way people think impacts their behavior and therefore cannot be a behavior in and of itself. Cognitivists later argued that thinking is so essential to psychology that the study of thinking should become its own field...

...on the time it was delivered not only on the logical result it generally produced. * Failure encounters a wrong response A real time system is actually a system that acts to the event within a specified time period. A real time system depicts those systems which have to perform certain calculation within specific time period, delayed results may be considered wrong. In 2001, Shaw explained that real time systems have a very limited time constraints which are defined by the systems requirements, which reflects the aspects of outer world. Real time systems are now become important part of this modern age, safety and privacy issues and performance of such systems have also been raised .In 2000 Halang and Druzovec explained that performance in real time system depends on higher bandwidth, faster response and faster computation power. A real time systems state is dependent on a function of physical time eg; a chemical reaction continues to change its state from one state to another even after the supervising computer system is stopped. This real time system can easily be decomposed into a set of subsystems i.e. human operator, controlled object, real time computer system. A real time system must react to the stimuli with the help of the controlled object within specific time period. Typical examples of real time systems include multimedia applications, command control systems, air traffic control systems, space systems, embedded automotive electronics etc. Real time systems are...

...or to solve a problem it use to communicate or entertain people. One of the invention for this generation now is playing digital games it is a popular pastime for others and it is a part of people’s daily life. The digital games can further expand the knowledge of users. In this game it is all about four pictures related to a certain anime which the user will guess. The user’s need to recall everything to answer the question and to go to the next level of the game. This is also one way to remember things through this application. It is about using pictures in order to retrieve memories connected to it and one process that makes use of pictures is called picture superiority effect. Most studies of the picture superiority effect have involved tests of memory for the occurrence of individual events, such as recall in which is the main objective of this study. If pictures however, receive complete semantic processing than words, this difference in processing could be an advantage for both memory of the individual pictures and for associations formed between pairs of random pictures. This research also intends to use the Anime and mobile game learning app in order to prevent forgetting what was present at young age. A mobile game applications that helps to exercise their brain to retrieved the information about anime that they are familiar with.

...Attention, learning, and memory Attention and memory are human thought process essential to pursuit of learning. Attention is the act of selectively focusing on a certain stimuli to create imprints or memories in mind. Memory provides recollection of the stimuli previously learned. And, learning is a lifelong pursuit facilitated by attention and memory. Human brain with its complexity is wired differently in each individual. Therefore, each individual’s attention and memory is interlinked with that individual’s learning style. One of the ways individuals learn in the modern era is online learning. Online learning offers the opportunity to pursue an education and convenience of learning from the comfort of one’s home. In other words, online learning occurs in an asynchronous environment. Students who are enrolled in online institutions must create an environment for themselves, because despite the convenience online learning does not necessarily facilitate a traditional classroom learning environment. For example, in a traditional classroom, students are sitting in neat spaces with their attention pierced on the professors’ lectures and taking notes. The occurrence of any distractions is very limited. Student can make use of their potential learning style to retain the information. Whereas, online students may get disrupted by presence of divided attention, dichotic listening or cocktail party phenomenon, and learning still occurs, but learning styles may get adjusted.

...make waiting in line more pleasant. What they have learned has profound implications for all managers. BY DONALD A. NORMAN THE LEADING QUESTION AT SOME POINT, every manager has had to tell someone to wait. We all have to wait sometimes. It’s a simple matter of timing and resources. Whenever two systems interact, one is invariably ready before the other. In the factory, this disparity can lead to stockpiles of goods or bottlenecks. When people are involved, it can give rise to inefficiency and anger. This is no good for customers or employees. But the psychological impact of waits can be managed, and studies in design show us how to do it. My introduction to design started with my studies of fundamental principles of interaction to enhance the use of technology.1 Now, as I teach and consult on the applications of these principles to business, I apply them to many aspects of customer experience. In places where waits are required, these principles can not only make waiting more pleasant but can also make it feel like not waiting at all. Sometimes inducing a wait can improve the customer experience. When waits are inevitable, the research shows, the goal should be to optimize the experience for both customers and employees, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and reducing employee stress and turnover. What this research has revealed can help managers in many situations, even those not involving lines. SLOANREVIEW.MIT.EDU What can managers...

The Memory Center is facing extreme weather conditions due to a rainstorm that knocked out the cities power, and the failure of its generator. There are 95 elderly men and women living in the center who are feeling the effects of the temperature dropping. The emergency manager has many decisions to make while ensuring the safety of the Memory Center residents. Each level of the Incident Command System (ICS) must be alerted. Some of their tasks will be covered below to show what their responsibilities are. A brief description of ICS The Incident Command System is a system for controlling all of the necessary components of incident management in a well-organized and efficient way. The primary purpose is to allow resources, such as equipment, personnel, and communications, across multiple agency jurisdictions with one organizational structure. ICS is product of the National Incident Management System, which falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security via the Federal Emergency Management Administration. Despite being federal in origin, it works in any community, from the smallest village to the largest geographic...

...in object-oriented programming are presented in the Table 1.1. The design strategies evolved as techniques for dealing with complex natural and man-made system. Because these strategies are so fundamental, they are encountered in other contexts and in other programming language forms. What is stressed here is the relationship of these strategies to the design and construction of object-oriented software. These strategies are widely supported by existing object-oriented languages though different languages may present them in different ways and some languages may support other variations of each one. For example, some object-oriented languages have additional ways of supporting generalization. The design strategies in object-oriented programming are effective for constructing software models of entities in the problem domain. In fact, some have argued that software design is largely about constructing a software model of the "real world" where each "real" entity is represented in the program by a corresponding software object; the software object simulates the actions and conditions of its real-world counterpart. The "programming as modeling" philosophy is most evident in three-dimensional virtual environments where the visual and auditory characteristics of the real world are simulated within the virtual world....

Consequently we can only assert that the mass media impacts on society but does not necessarily have an effect since other factors also influence people other than information consumed from the media. As such, this study asserts that the mass media influences public opinion but does not necessarily cause it. Key words: powerful media, mass media effects, theories of mass media effects, impact of media messages INTRODUCTION The mass media involve organisations that are responsible for the dissemination of information to a large number of people. Basically, the mass media are categorised into print and electronic media. The print media include magazine, newspapers and books while the electronic media are television, radio, internet, videos or films etc. The instruments of both the print and electronic media are being used by the mass media to create and promote multitude of ideas that positively affect the lives of people and the society.

...alone, cannot supply us with the ability to interact with the environment therefore we perceive and make predictions about the world through internal cognitive representations regardless of it being a scientific fact or a self believed fact. Consequently we built up knowledge from prior events, memories, perception, culture and socialisation. These cognitions convey knowledge to be represented as a mind state. Knowledge is the familiarity one has with worldly information. The theoretical accounts of knowledge processes must be carefully analysed and critiqued. The fundamental base of this arguement relies on cognitive understanding, in which the mind plays a key role in knowledge acquisition, contemplation and retention. The arguement will be to explore the most valid line of reasoning in how knowledge of the representing world is conceptualised into abstract cognitive ideas. References made to key research with in-depth analysis will create understanding into how the cognitive paradigm views knowledge representation. Analogical and propositional representations of knowledge have been derived from many theoretical viewpoints. Analogical representations of knowledge are physical and geometric interpretations of objects. Internally stored information is analogous to the representing world. Each element of the analogous object is represented as one. These analogies are generic generalisations and are flexible enough to attach relationships between objects i.e....
