My name is Cath Anne: and this is episode 39 of the Homework Help Show hosted by Homework Help Global. [00:00:10] On this show we provide you with valuable content for your academic and student life. Lets jump in. [00:00:24] As we move towards a world where there is increased access to technology and information there is an ever growing need to develop critical thinking skills. What a better way to do this than to practice while you are in university or college. This week we discuss the Corson Technique, a technique of critical thinking developed by Dale Corson. [00:00:49] Corson was the eighth president of Cornell University. He was a physicist, activist and highly intelligent critical thinker. [00:00:58] If you make an effort to apply the Corson Technique in your own life you will essentially become a better problem solver. You will learn how to think analytically and you will learn how to break problems down into smaller components that are easier to understand. Your reasoning skills will become more balanced and you will feel more confident in your ability to make decisions. Being a critical problem solver will become a skill that you can apply to your everyday life. You will be confident in your ability to break problems down into smaller components and find answers to more challenging questions. When you have the skills you will be more apt to engage in critical thinking and to participate in the process of problem solving. [00:01:47] I truly do believe in the value of developing stronger critical thinking skills. However dont take my word for it. As Michael Fulnan so confidently asserts the moral purpose of education is to equip students with the skills that will enable them to be productive citizens when they finish school. While computers and digital technologies play a central role in the development and utilization of the skills the more essential skills for the 21st century learning in occupations relate not just to the application of technology but more importantly to the ability to engage in independent critical thinking and a high level of problem solving often using technology. [00:02:32] So essentially what is being said here is that the more that we have access to technology and information on a daily basis the more we are going to need critical thinking skills in order to break down problems and to be more analytical. Techniques like the Corson Method allow us to develop these critical high level problem solving skills. [00:02:55] One problem is that many college and university students expect to understand concepts right out of the gate. If they do not understand a concept immediately they get frustrated and immediately ask the professor for help. If a concept doesnt make sense right away they seem to feel panicky or it initiates feelings of stress. Unfortunately this is just not the way to solve problems. [00:03:23] So lets talk about the Corson method. The Corson technique break problems down into reasonable and analytical questions. It involves breaking a question down into multiple components which are easily understood. I first learned about this technique through the YouTube for Thomas Frank from CollegeInfoGeek. Here are some steps to implement the Corson Method into your routine. [00:03:51] If you are facing a complex problem, break it down into smaller components. If you get stuck, ask yourself what is it that I do not understand. [00:04:03] Break each small question down and then ask yourself where are you getting stuck. [00:04:08] Give yourself at least 15 minutes on each component of the question in order to understand exactly where you are going wrong or what you dont understand. [00:04:18] Consult with other students after the 15 minutes. Maybe they have an idea of how to solve the problem that youre not thinking of. [00:04:25] If you are truly stuck then go to your professor after the 15 minutes be able to show your professor exactly where you are getting stuck and ask them a very specific question about the problem you are having. What youre hoping to avoid here is going to the professor right away as soon as you get the question without taking the time to break it down and understand where you might be going wrong or where there might be a misunderstanding. [00:04:54] If you use the Corson technique you are strengthening your critical thinking skills. It also has lots of other benefits too. For one your professor is going to be super happy that you are not running to them every five seconds with a new question. You wont be saving the professors time and you will help them to understand the exact context of the problem with your question. The professor well understand that you actually give a care about what they are teaching and theyll get a much better impression of you. Youre also going to be showing yourself how to learn critically and analyze information as you acquire it and in turn youre going to retain more information if you engage in problems more effectively. You are going to gain more information over time and youll retain that information for a longer period of time because youve taken some time to wrestle with it yourself by going head to head with a problem you might very well solve yourself and you might not even need so me assistance from your professor. Think about it you might even be able to help other students as they progress along their learning journey. [00:06:01] When you engage fully in a question you are actually exercising muscles in your brain that is going to help you to learn and to practice those critical thinking skills over time. And these are going to be strengthened as you progress through your university degree and when you move into the workplace. In essence using the Corson technique will make you a better learner youll become more popular your professors and youll develop skills that you can carry with you as you move into the professional field. Its really going to help when you are working in an environment that asks you to engage in analytical thinking and you already have these skills. As I mentioned before we are moving into a world where technology and information is all around us and one of the most invaluable skills that you can have is to be able to be analytical and develop critical thinking skills. So the Corson Method is an amazing way to practice this and exercise those critical thinking muscles in your brain. [00:07:05] OK so thats it for me this week guys!

FDI FDI in Retail –BOON OR BANE *MD13109* Abstract: India is the attractive and profit oriented market for the investment to developed countries. Despite its good surplus and evergreen sector, the Retail-business in India lacks in Capital Investment and lack of transparency. The retailers are just focusing on urban sector and are unable to penetrate in rural sector. FDI can be one solution that will lead to the expected development. If FDI is allowed in Retail-sector, it will help Retailers to gain more profits thus eliminating the flaws in the current system. As per government norms, if FDI is allowed then 50% of the total FDI has to be invested in backend infrastructure. This will improve the processing, distribution, packing amp;†¦show more content†¦In the past decades, FDI was concerned only with highly industrialized countries. US were the world’s largest recipient of FDI during 2006 with an investment of 184 million from OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries. France, Greece, Iceland, Poland, Slovak Republic, Switzerland and Turkey also have a positive record in FDI investments. Now, during the course of time, FDI has become a vital part in every country more particularly with the developing countries. This is because of the following reasons: * Availability of cheap labor. * Uninterrupted availability of raw material. * Less production cost compared with other developed countries. * Quick and easy market penetration. FDI in the Retail sector: Retailing is one of the world’s largest private industries. Liberalizations in FDI have caused a massive restructuring in retail industry. The benefit of FDI in retail industry superimposes its cost factors. Opening the retail industry to FDI will bring forth benefits in terms of advance employment, organized retail stores, availability of quality products at a better and cheaper price. It enables a countries product or service to enter into the global market. Cheaper production facilities: FDI will ensure better operations in production cycle and distribution.

The Raven vs. The First Snowfall - Free Essay Example

Sample details Pages: 2 Words: 613 Downloads: 3 Date added: 2017/09/17 Category Literature Essay Type Compare and contrast essay Tags: Romanticism Essay Did you like this example? The Raven vs. The First Snowfall During the time period of Romanticism, many great poets emerged. Two of the best poets during this time period included Edgar Allen Poe and James Russell Lowell. Throughout these poet’s lives, they suffered many tragic deaths among their friends and families and decided to write about them. One of Poe’s greatest poems was called The Raven and one of Lowell’s greatest poems was called The First Snowfall. Since these two poems speak about death, they are very similar in somber tone, funeral images, and gothic elements, which all create a mournful mood. One of the ways that The Raven and The First Snowfall are similar is how the somber tone throughout the poems creates a mournful mood. â€Å"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary† (1). This quote from The Raven is an example of somber tone because it sets a dark tone to help develop the mournful mood of the poem. â€Å"And thought of the lead en sky† (26). This specific quote from The First Snowfall is a great example of a somber tone because is speaks about how the sky is a dull, gray color. The somber tone of these two poems is what makes them so similar, but there are more ways that show how they can be even more similar. The second way that The Raven and The First Snowfall are similar is by the funeral images both authors describe in their poems. One of the funeral images used by Edgar Allen Poe in The Raven is the quote: â€Å"And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor† (8). In this quote, he is trying to describe the fire as dying to represent his lover who had just died. One of the funeral images used by James Russell Lowell in The First Snowfall is used in the quote: â€Å"The noiseless work of the sky† (14). What the author is trying to describe here is that everything around him is silent because they are saddened by his daughter’s death. These two funeral im ages used by the authors are another way the poems create a mournful mood and how they are similar. The way that they are similar is that the authors are making images with their words to help the reader’s understand the tragic deaths they had to struggle through. Even though there are a more ways that make these poems similar, there is ne final way that pretty much ties everything together. This way is the use of gothic elements throughout the poems. â€Å"Quoth the Raven†¦Ã¢â‚¬  (44). This gothic element speaks about the supernatural element of the bird talking. This shows that the narrator is going completely insane over the fact that his lover had died. â€Å"Then with eyes that saw not, I kissed her† (37). The gothic element that Lowell is trying to describe is that his daughter had just died. What Lowell wants the reader’s to know is that he kissed his daughter for the final time because she had died. The topic of the gothic elements is the final way the poems create a mournful mood and that the elements make the two poems similar because the authors use them to describe the death in their poems. During the Romanticism time period, two poems emerged that were quite similar. They were The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe and The First Snowfall by James Russell Lowell. The three ways that they are similar is through the somber tone, the funeral images, and the gothic elements. All of these similarities are what helps the two poems create a mournful mood so that they can tell their melancholy poems. Don’t waste time!

The secret of great teachers Free Essays

Long ago, famous teachers did not go to monthly seminars before they can teach. They did not prepare lesson plans every night or prepare visual aids and powerpoint presentations and sophisticated audiovisual materials to accompany their talk. Yet they were regarded as great and influential teachers of our time. We will write a custom essay sample on The secret of great teachers or any similar topic only for you Order Now Why, you want to ask. Were they simply lucky to be good at public speaking? I’m talking about how Confucius teach, just one of the many teachers who made their names in our history not just for their teachings but for the way they reach to their audiences. All of these teachers used instructional method so that their followers can better understand and thus follow their teachings. Confucius, in particular, used presentation (or lecture) and demonstration when he teaches. Even today, these modes of instructions are still used. Confucius believes that for his disciples and followers to understand and adopt his teachings, he must live them and be an example. Demonstration is teaching by example, and this was what Confucius did. He also gave lectures, as this was the commonly used instructional method even before. Lectures serve well in sharing information to the audience, relaying history, theories and backgrounds and experiences. A lecture reaches a large number of people at one time. Although lectures are usually a one-way mode of communication, Confucius allows his followers to ask him questions. Through this answer-and-question portion, which Jesus also used when teaching, the followers can gain more insight and feedback from the teacher. Moreover, Confucius believes that through discussion he can reach to every individual he teaches. Aside from this, he knows that each person calls for different instructional approach to learn. Due to this, he used the educational approach in leading his followers towards the good life. Confucius, Jesus and Socrates, just to name a few, saw the importance of these methods for many reasons. Socrates believed in involving his students in a dialogue to argue a point. Jesus engaged his followers in question-and-answer sessions to give and share information. They used demonstration and presentation because they are very effective, evidenced by the many people who accepted their beliefs. These people further grasped their teachings by establishing churches and religions and keeping beliefs to honor their teachers. Just the number of their followers is enough evidence to show that they have maximized the potential of the instructional method they used. As for me, I think demonstration and presentation are very effective, whether in a classroom or domestic setting. Parents lecture their children about many things so that they learn, and they live as examples to their children by living what they preach. Even at school, these methods prove useful because students learn by what they see from their teachers. A survey of the most effective methods for instruction to address academic differences was conducted among teachers. The majority thinks that small group/cooperative learning is the most effective method. Modeling (demonstration) is ranked second, and question and answer, group discussion, individual instruction and lecture are ranked third. The teachers cited reasons why they think the methods are effective. First, learners have the chance to help and learn from each other throughout. This method refers to group discussions, experiments or projects. Then, teachers provide support and provide learning in different and multiple ways. They have the opportunity to share important ideas, give feedback and remediation, and help students to be on track by reinforcing structure and organization.

The Effect of a Mathematics Methodology Classroom on Self

Several teacher education studies have focused on teaching efficacy beliefs (Albayrak, 2011), because teaching efficacy beliefs influence the teacher’s effectiveness, attitude and behavior. The concept of self-efficacy, for instance, has been described by Bandura. Self efficacy, according to Bandura (1997) is the process whereby people develop the ability to organize and accomplish important tasks first.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The Effect of a Mathematics Methodology Classroom on Self-Efficacy of Pre-service Elementary Teachers specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Bandura (1997) posits that self efficacy influences the manner in which an individual approaches his goals, challenges and tasks. This concept lies at the heart of Bandura’s social cognitive theory. Most people would think of self efficacy as a belief that they can act in such a way that they will be successful in their endeavors. Orga nizing and doing important things first are certainly apart of that. On the broader side, social cognitive theory posits that what an individual observes in others plays a critical role in shaping his or her cognitive processes, as well as his or her social behaviors. According to the philosophy of self-efficacy, people should develop their own capacity to reach the essential degree of learning (Albayrak, 2011). The development of mathematics self-efficacy in pre-service elementary teachers who participate in mathematics education methods courses is the core subject of this paper. Self-efficacy beliefs usually â€Å"influence the manner in which people think, behave, and become motivated† (Albayrak, 2011, p.185). Efficacy beliefs also determine how much effort teachers will apply during the education process and how long their behavior will be sustained when they encounter obstacles while teaching (Albayrak, 2011). Kazempour (2008) makes it clear that the concept of self-effi cacy and the ideas of teacher-efficacy are related. He argues that teachers who are confident in their mathematical abilities are able to influence the mathematics learning methods of their students. Consequently, students’ belief levels will be enhanced affecting the success of particular students and of the learning environment. This has been seconded by findings from various studies. In one such study, the attitude of elementary primary teachers with respect to mathematics was found to be essential in shaping student’s current and future perceptions (Salzer, 2010).Advertising Looking for essay on education? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More Students’ attitudes and success are partly dependent on the elementary teachers’ attitude with respect to mathematics. Moreover, teachers should provide different types of feedback to students and use the appropriate learning methods to help students achieve pos itive results in their learning. Thus, teachers should believe that they are capable of improving the learning methods of different students in a classroom. Kazempour (2008) found that students’ performance depends considerably on their teacher’s efficacy, as teachers’ self-efficacy influences students’ achievement and motivation. Teacher’s efficacy has two dimensions: â€Å"personal teaching efficacy and teaching outcome expectancy† (Kazempour, 2008, p.10). Personal teaching efficacy refers to a teacher’s belief in his or her own ability to teach mathematics in an efficient manner. This significantly depends on the teacher’s attitude towards mathematics. If the teacher has a positive attitude, he or she is likely to teach mathematics in an efficient manner and boost the morale of his or her students. Conversely, teachers who have negative attitude towards mathematics are unlikely to teach mathematics in an effective manner; th is negatively affects the students’ attitudes and ultimately success. On the other hand, teaching outcome expectancy refers to the belief that a teacher’s mode of teaching is capable of influencing a student’s mode of learning in a positive manner. Teachers who ascribe to this philosophy believe that external factors such as family background, parental influence, IQ, school conditions, and home environment do not influence a student’s performance in mathematics once the teacher uses the appropriate strategy to enhance the student’s ability to learn and digest new information. This strategy can be considered as an adequate use of the teacher’s self-efficacy (Cone, 2009). Research shows that teachers who have a high level of teaching efficacy create a learning environment that encourages students to think productively. As Kazempour (2008) explains, teachers with high self-efficacy use such strategies as â€Å"student questioning, brainstormin g, and class discussions† (p.401).Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The Effect of a Mathematics Methodology Classroom on Self-Efficacy of Pre-service Elementary Teachers specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Brusal (2007) found that using self-efficacy in instilling mathematics literacy allows teachers to improve the performance of their students regardless of whether their students come from challenging home backgrounds. Self-efficacious teachers use student-centered approaches that stress the role of students in the learning process and make them feel that they contribute to the learning process as well. In the course of a discussion, according to Bursal (2007), this will make students feel that their opinions matter and they will become more interested in the subject. This study will use mixed methods. The data will be collected through questionnaires and interviews to gain a deeper understanding of how self- efficacy influences the mathematics teaching of pre-service teachers. The study will gather data from future mathematics teachers both male and female in the field of early childhood education to analyze and assess how the self-efficacy of teachers influences their students. An electronic survey will be carried out using Quartic software. Quatic software is a tool based on android platform and is used in scientific calculations. Five randomly selected teachers will be interviewed to judge how the progress of future teachers with and without self-efficacy (their perception towards mathematics) is affected by the methodology course.

America's Involvement In World Affairs Since 1945 essays America's Involvement In World Affairs Since 1945 Since 1945 the United States government has been increasingly concerned with problems all over the world in various continents. Three countries we were concerned with for different reasons were North Korea, Cuba, and South Africa. Difficulties occurred in each of these nations that the United States had to overcome to maintain its worldwide power and influence. During the final stages of World War II and through early years of the Cold War President Truman ran our country. He opposed the spread of communism in Europe and Korea. One foreign problem he got our country involved in was the Korean War, which took place from June of 1950 until July of 1953.

Under President Truman, General MacArthur moved troops into South Korea to push North Korean troops north back to the 38th parallel and eventually into North Korea. China, who had a treaty with the Soviet Union, then entered the war agai nst the United States because we were striking the North Korean troops on the Yalu River, which was the border of China and North Korea. They entered the war with 180,000 soldiers. This made it more difficult for the United States to keep the South Korean troops in North Korea. MacArthur wanted an air attack on China and Truman rejected it because he feared the Soviets would get involved in the war. MacArthur then hinted that Truman was "soft on communism" and that he favored appeasement. There was a second attempt of North Korea and China...

If the French Supposer Hypothesizes, Add Subjunctive

If the French Supposer Hypothesizes, Add Subjunctive When  supposer  (to  suppose or to assume) is used with a dependent clause beginning with  que, the dependent clause may use a subjunctive verb, depending on how supposer is used. When it expresses an assumption, no:  Ã‚  Ã‚  Je suppose quil le fait.  Ã‚  Ã‚  I assume that he is doing it. When the subject is presenting a hypothesis, yes:      Supposons quil le fasse.  Ã‚  Ã‚  Lets suppose that he does it. Supposer que joins a long list of similar verbs and expressions of doubt, possibility, supposition, and opinion; they all also need the subjunctive in the  Ã¢â‚¬â€¹que  subordinate clause. Supposer and Supposer Que Supposer que,  when used to express an hypothesis,  fulfills the subjunctives underlying requirement  of  expressing actions or ideas that are subjective or otherwise uncertain. As with  this use of supposer  que,  the French subjunctive  is nearly always found in dependent clauses introduced by  que  or  qui, and the subjects of the dependent and main clauses are usually different, as in:      Je veux que tu le fasses.  Ã‚  Ã‚  I want you to do it.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Il faut que nous partions.  Ã‚  Ã‚  It is necessary that we leave.
