...Title: Course Project – Islamic Religion. Name: Oluwatosin T. Ajibola Institution: DeVry University The only way one will be able to have much knowledge about the Muslims is through the researching from different sources, academic research, traveling, knowing what is going on around you, and reading – accepted books or journals that talks about Islam. Gale says the meaning of Islam as the submission to God. He also talks about the history of Islam that the founder/restorer of Islam is Prophet Muhammad. Newberg misconception of belief towards Islam is that Muhammad is God fearing but Muhammad did not know how to escape the future vengeance for the Muslims. Malik argues the Islam cultural diversity and thinks there is no democracy in Muslim societies, but still Islam societies are modernizing and developing economically and their literacy rates are increasing steadily which makes the democratic movements in Islam societies to be picking up at different speeds in different countries. Teachings about Muslims teaches by Gale when he said there are two main branches of Islam; Sunni and Shia, there will be further clarification of the two main branches. Islam is one of the types of religion that the worshippers are very good believers, very submissive, and there are some words in Islam that really means a lot to the worshippers of Islam. Islam means submission to God. Muslims express their submission to their God by following the five pillars of Islam. The five pillars of Islam...

...The Phrase ‘commitment’ is frequently used by HRM practitioners in the control of absenteeism and its contribution to business objectives. Evaluate the evidence to reinforce commitment and reduce absenteeism. Mowday et al have defined organizational commitment as “ the relative strength of an individual’s identification with an involvement in an organization” (Chapter 7 Attitudes at work, Page no, 265 Work Psychology, Understanding Human Behaviour in the Workplace by John Arnold (ft) fourth edition) Commitment is very powerful human concept as if a person is committed to an organization; therefore he or she has a strong identification with it and will turn out to be a long-term employee for the organization. Sir Richard Branson is an example of someone’s commitment towards its work. He born in an ordinary established family but it was his commitment, which led him to build the virgin empire and now he is one of the richest man in the world. Controlling the absenteeism is the objective of nearly every business organization and the phrase commitment is regularly used by HRM practitioners in order to control the absenteeism, In this essay I will explain the above statement in more details and also provide the evidence to support it. The question arises here why absenteeism is important? Absenteeism is important because it’s not only costly but it also affects the morale of other employees. The cost of absenteeism is greater than the...

...To me one of the biggest tortures in my American experience is grading, it seemed more beneficial than the material itself. Without the grade you could not pass, but you didn’t have to remember then material. Of course it was important to have an understanding of the class you were in, however it was only important as long as you wanted a good grade. This topic is important to me because of my brother and myself. As an older brother who has been through k-12 grade I understand the hardships of grading and the anxiety that come with it. I want them to understand that in under to make it, you have to smart, not just passable like grading make it out to be. I have faced this first hand, and understand how children feel.

... Morr/Pg.1 A Response to Steven Vogel “Grades and Money” Many students see grades as the single most important thing in life. But what about that other most important thing in life called money? It is easy to say that grades and money have a relationship between them. As a student myself, I can see the relationship between both of these. In Steven Vogel’s Grades and Money he makes many points that I agree with such as grades should be reports, GPA’s and grades are considered funny money. In Vogel’s essay he stated many great points about the relationship between grades and money. I strongly agree when Vogel states “What grades ought to be is a report, nothing more: how did the students do, how much did he or she learn, how much were his or her skills and critical self-consciousness and knowledge of the world expanded”? (Vogel 390). What Vogel’s trying to say in his text is that instead of giving out an A or a C, Let’s focus our attention on how the student has learned. Let’s see if the student learned anything at all. We have to remind ourselves that most students thrive off of knowing what their final grade will turn out to be. They need to know this to evaluate themselves, so they can be better students. I would agree with Vogel when he says grades should be a report. They should not determine whether we pass or fail a class. It is just a simple way for teachers to be able to grade quickly. Moreover, I feel this is true because when teachers handout...

...amount of time, must ask Ms. Smith about an extension or for their graded assignment if possible. Ms. Smith will let students appeal their grades if they think there is a grading mistake. In order to make a formal appeal, they must write 1-2 sentences explaining why they think there is a mistake. They need to have support and the original answer stapled to the back. To find out the effectiveness of Ms. Smith’s homework policy for my 4th grade students, we need to consider whether her policy establishes and maintains three critical points in classroom management and learning. The three critical points are 1.) positive social interaction between students, teachers, and parents, 2.) motivation, and 3.) active engagement. I discovered that Ms. Smith’s policy could go in either point but it depends on how she communicates with the students and parents. If she is as strict as she sounds in her written policy and how long it is, some students and parents might grow with resentment to Ms. Smith. The ones with literacy problems will have the hardest time understanding her policy unless she verbally explains it to them several times throughout the year. However, if her policy is used as a guide and she has a helpful and genuinely careful approach, then the policy she wrote would be considered as a best practice when incorporated into my 4th grade...

...Grades in the realm of education are standardized measurements of varying levels of comprehension within a subject area. Grades can be assigned in letters (for example, A, B, C, D, or F), as a range (for example 4.0–1.0), as a number out of a possible total (for example out of 20 or 100), as descriptors (excellent, great, satisfactory, needs improvement), in percentages, or, as is common in some post-secondary institutions in some countries, as a Grade Point Average (GPA). GPA is calculated by taking the number of grade points a student earned in a given period of time divided by the total number of credits taken.[1] The GPA can be used by potential employers or further post-secondary institutions to assess and compare applicants. A Cumulative Grade Point Average is a calculation of the average of all of a student's grades for all semesters and courses completed up to a given academic term,[2][3][4] whereas the GPA may only refer to one term. Keith Hoskin argues that the concept of grading students' work quantitatively was developed by a tutor named William Farish and first implemented by the University of Cambridge in 1792.[5] Hoskin's assertion has been questioned by Christopher Stray, who finds the evidence for Farish as the inventor of the numerical mark to be unpersuasive.[6] Stray's article elucidates the complex relationship between the mode of examination (testing), in this case oral or written, and the varying philosophies of education these modes imply, both to teacher...

Textbook and Required Materials The custom edition of Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, 4th edition by Tom Carson and Bill Jordan packaged with access to MyLabsPlus, available in the TTC Bookstore and a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator MyLabsPlus Departmental Homework Policy Students must complete each section of homework within a unit in MyLabsPlus with a score of 90% or better (on each section, NOT a unit average) in order to receive a grade for the unit exam. Homework mastery must be completed before the unit exam is given and by the deadline stated by your instructor. Each section of homework is open for the entire unit, and each individual problem has unlimited attempts. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the 90% or better requirement on each section of homework could not be achieved. However, one exception will be granted per student per semester as follows: If the 90% or better requirement is not achieved on at least one section of homework in a unit, and you take that unit exam, then you will receive the grade for...
