...course of study that required three years to complete; however, in 1912 the amount of years required was increased to four years. Admissions & Requirements: With an acceptance rate of less than 31.3%, California Polytechnic University - San Luis Obispo is the most selective California State University. Similar to many colleges, Cal Poly SLO requires students to have completed the A-G requirements in high school in order to be considered for acceptance. In addition, applicants must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average in all A-G classes. In regards to testing, Cal Poly mandates that applicants take either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT by December and have the official scores sent to them.

...alone is responsible first for their academic success. An individual alone is responsible first for their academic success because it cannot be achieved as a group, cannot be attained by assigning responsibility to other parties, and must be learned and not taught. II. The relationship between how responsible you are, and your college success are apparent in many ways. A good strategy is to follow the syllabus and set up a game plan or schedule. Following an agenda will help you spread out your workload over the week, it will show that you are on the right track and is a great indicator of how reliable you are. One of the worst traits that many people possess is procrastination. According to “California Polytechnic State University, Cal Poly Academic Skill Center” (n.d.) “The procrastinator is often remarkably optimistic about his ability to complete a task on a tight deadline; usually by expressions of reassurance that everything is under control. III. The plan I have for practicing this is to first start using personal responsibility at home. I can do this by talking to my boyfriend, letting him know what I have done no matter if it is right or wrong. After I have started that, then I think I will be more prone to using this technique more at school. Time management will also play into effect in my plan because without learning how to space things out, I will never be able to get anything done. IV. In conclusion, it is beneficial to have personal responsibility...

...California’s public institutions who are enrolled in a viticulture or enology program to fully experience what they have made as part of their curriculum. The main concern opposing this bill is that minors under 21 are not allowed to consume alcohol and by allowing students to do so at an earlier age may encourage underage drinking. Despite the concerns, this law received wide recognition among supporters such as the California Association of Winegrape Growers, California Craft Brewers Association, Family Winemakers of California, University of California and California State University. This bill has also been approved by the faculty in California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo to align with our motto of “Learn by Doing”. Cal Poly and UC Davis are major supporters behind this law simply because of this will allow students to have the same educational opportunities as students from others states (that exempt students from the legal-age statutes) and compete in the thriving wine and beer industries. In fact, there are no committees or organizations that oppose this bill. Presenting these issues from the perspective of different ethical theories will provide better insight as to how this law positively impacts our students, our faculty, and ultimately our wine industry. Under the Utilitarian Theory of Ethics stated...

...Hamlet review and critique On Sunday October 26, 2003 at 2:00 PM I saw Hamlet the play at Cal State Fullerton campus in the Little Theatre. Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, is a tragic play consisting of numerous deaths. The deaths that took place played a very important role in the unfolding of the play. From viewing this play the audience can almost guess who was going to die. A prince named Hamlet is the main character. Hamlet planned to take over the throne in Denmark, but treachery would spoil all of Hamlet's plans. The King, Hamlet's father, was found dead. Hamlet was devastated when he learned of his father's death, but what made him more uneasy was the fact that Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, remarried so quickly to the brother of the dead King. The brother would be the one who would betray Hamlet. Horatio, a loyal friend to Hamlet, was on night watch outside the castle, he told the prince of an incident when they saw an apparition who resembled King Hamlet. Hamlet came out the next night hoping to see the ghost. Sure enough, the ghost appeared and called to Hamlet, wanting to speak with him. The spirit talked about how Claudius poisoned the King while he was sleeping. The spirit wanted the prince to avenge his murder. All was quiet in the kingdom until the start of Hamlet's supposed insanity. The Prince was with his mother talking when the prince noticed someone in the room. Hamlet thought it was Claudius, and killed him. Hamlet did...

...Shaun O’Malley 5/9/13 Social Problems 1969 is the year in which most attribute to the beginning of the gay rights movement in America. Before 1969 there was a real disconnect between this population and the political process, but when the NYPD raided a gay bar in Greenwich Village and started arresting people, the community had finally had enough. The following three days riots ensued, finally they had enough and no longer would they remain silent. The following year the first gay pride parades are held in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles, all of these were done to commemorate the one year anniversary of the Stone Wall incident. In 1977 in San Francisco California a movement would be lead by a charismatic man, Harvey Milk, who would be elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Harvey Milk continuously fought to de-marginalize the LBGTQ community fighting and dying for his cause. Milk would be assassinated in 1979 becoming the communities first great martyr. Over the following 24 years this fight would meet with great victories and terrible disappointments. Today the battle for these rights still continues, with passionate people on both sides. Attitudes in most parts of this country are evolving, more people are in favor of gay rights and same-sex marriage, but this is not enough. This issue, which has been labeled so many things, needs to be called what it really is. This issue is a matter of civil liberties, this is a fight for the civil rights...

...Capital Budgeting helps with the purchase of assets and expansion. Looking at the long term investment decisions will help determine the productivity6 level, cost, and future cash flow. The plan is to expand the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food company which is currently facing increased cost for the major ingredients of the product. This paper will outline a plan that managers in this company could follow in anticipation of raising prices when selecting pricing strategies for making the products response to a change in price less elastic. Next, this paper will examine the major effects that government policies have on production and employment, predict the potential effects that government policies could have on the company, determine whether or not government regulation is needed to ensure fairness along with identifying the major reasons for government involvement in a market economy, provide two examples of government involvement, examine the major complexities that would arise under expansion via capital projects and propose key actions that the company could take in order to prevent or address these complications. Lastly, this paper will suggest the substantive manner in which the company could create a convergence between the interest of stockholders and managers and indicate the most likely impact to profitability of such a convergence. Outline a plan that managers in the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company could follow in anticipation of raising prices...

...Titanic: The Movie | My Review | Sherry Jackson ENG225: Introduction to Film Instructor: Melody Debonnel August 6, 2013 “Fifteen hundred people went into the sea, when Titanic sank from under us. There were twenty boats floating nearby… and only one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, including myself. Six… out of fifteen hundred. Afterwards the seven hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait… wait to die… wait for an absolution that would never come. (Titanic, 97) In the movie an older Rose stated this quote about the sinking of the Titanic. The movie Titanic is based upon a true story that happened in 1912. James Cameron is the writer and the director of the film. Since the Titanic is one of the best American stories in history, because this movie is full of love, romance and tragedy. There was a lot of working that went into making the movie Titanic, from creating the story (searching for the blue diamond, the romance between Jack and Rose and the sinking of the Titanic, choosing actors to play the characters, the cinematography to the genre that it is rated for the audience. Deep Sea Explorer Brock Lovett is searching the remains of the Titanic looking for the great hope diamond. He stumbles upon a picture of a young woman wearing the diamond on the day the Titanic sank. The young woman is Rose DeWitt Bakater. A much older Rose shares with the explorers what happened on April 12th, 1912 aboard the RMS Titanic. Rose recalls...

...EL HEAVY METAL: UN MÓN D’HOMES? INTRODUCCIÓ- HIPÒTESI DE RESPOSTA Aquest treball l’he realitzat amb el propòsit de resoldre la pregunta següent: Per què hi ha poca presència de la dona als grups de heavy metal? Realitzant una hipòtesi principal abans d’iniciar una possible resposta a aquesta complexa pregunta, en la meva opinió tot el conjunt ideològic que s’atorga al heavy metal ha tingut des de sempre connotacions masculines i, com a conseqüència, un rebuig cap al sector femení. A partir d’aquesta afirmació em qüestiono el següent: Hi ha poques dones en grups de heavy perquè sigui un gènere que escoltin més homes que dones, o bé hi ha poques dones que escoltin heavy a causa de la poca presència de les seves semblants en grups d’aquest estil? El constructe [no sé amb certesa si real o irreal] que el heavy metal és un estil de música escoltat per un públic majoritàriament per masculí probablement justifiqui la presència de tot un conjunt d’elements que ajuden a destacar-ne la “masculinitat”. Com a prova, es pot observar en la posada en escena una actitud “forta”, amb “caràcter”, “firmesa”,... (per exemple, posades d’escena en directe del grup Manowar) que en la nostra societat està associada més amb el gènere masculí que el femení. És evident que, sobretot als grups més reconeguts a nivell comercial, hi ha poca presència de dones, fet que demostra que s’ha creat una clara imatge de “masculinitat”...

...Themes, Entertainment ________________________________________ The theme park, as an experience design, differs from amusement parks in the critical design intent of its architects. Theme landscapes are developed to distill a glimpse of world /out of this world locations, not unlike a world's fair, at a single location. These entertainment complexes are familiar vacation territories for generations of the world's travel public, as theme parks are deliberately designed to be internationally-focused attractants. The successful dynamism of these landscapes designed for appeal and dependable itinerary offer assurances of what can be expected, with safety and value for the expense of time and money. Generally, themed landscapes perpetuate and promote folk history and cultural traditions, as these are exploited, yet celebrated, simultaneously. Perception of space in the themed environment, without apologies, is inauthentic, but never-the-less successful, and delightful moments for the viewer. Intentionally, architecture is manipulated in order to impart the necessary factors which will aid in promoting happiness by use of ironic realism. Despite pretentions, everyone enjoys themed experiences at some level. Ambivalent designers are not undermined by the pristine and ineffectual notions the design profession propagates on what characterizes good design. Rather, the successful destination architect gives social value and art to underappreciated human elements in architecture. Human...
