...Wednesday, June 26, 2012 Good Day Class, My name is Pastor Valerie A. Grimes, Th.D. I received my Masters-Doctorate degree from Grace Bible College and Seminary; with our doctoral exams being based off of Dr. Wilmington’s Guide to the Bible. Dr. Wilmington is also a dean at Liberty University. I look forward to my online learning experience with the rest of our classmates. Currently I am residing in Woodland Hills, California. I have separated from employment so that I can achieve the Masters’ and Doctorate degrees in Education and because the requirements for graduate students are intense. During my studies I will exchange love and compassion and some utiles of education with my children and grandchildren. Sewing and making winter hats are my favorite hobbies at the present. Like fine woven garments the interweaving of education and experience yields the desired outcome for all involved. From this course I hope to become a proficient instructor and a sought after Principal. I believe that it is impossible to separate the church from any state because we as humans are the church which is also called the body of Christ and you cannot leave your body at home which contains your soul and spirit when you report to any school, job, church, research assignment, government body, or any extracurricular activity. I remember sadly how the Pentagon staffs were so upset about the twin-towers terrorist attack that one man rushed out of the office to the front steps to state may...

...Kristen Axon PSY 170 Hernandez September 11, 2014 An Important Part of the Brain All in all, the brain is one of the most important and vital organs in the body. Without it humans (and other living things) would be unable to function or live. And with the brain comes the various areas that control functions within it, including the medulla oblongata. In basic terms it works the “automatic processes” such as “breathing, blood circulation, swallowing, blinking, etc.” (notes). If the medulla did not exist, neither would we because it controls main methods of surviving. I feel the medulla is part of the most essential pieces in the brain and support this by identifying its role in more depth, explaining where it is located and its general shape, and also clarifying the functions and malfunctions that can occur with it. As explained, I feel the medulla is highly important. It allows living things (that have a developed brain) to survive. In a Wikipedia excerpt on the medulla oblongata it describes how the medulla itself is connected to the “lower half of the brain stem which is continuous with the spinal cord” and it runs from the spinal cord to the pons (Wikipedia). The pons “include sensory roles in hearing, equilibrium, and taste, and in facial sensations, as well as motor roles in eye movement, facial expressions, chewing, swallowing, and the secretion of saliva and tears” (Wikipedia). These are other important survival needs for living creates, such as humans. And the...

...1. What is the simplest SQL retrieval? The simplest versions of the most important SQL command are SELECT, FROM statement. Then if you need to limit the result you introduce the WHERE clause. In the WHERE clause you can use operators such as LIKE, AND, OR, EQUAL, BETWEEN and IN. 2. What is the purpose of the Where clause when using SELECT? The purpose of this clause is to be able to list any conditions that are to be applied to the data retrieved. 3. What are data types and why are they important? A data type is a classification identifying one of various types of data, they are important because assigning data types gives meaning to collections of information 4. Provide an example of the GROUP by clause, when would you use this clause? SELECT Salesperson, SUM(Revenue) AS ‘Total’, MIN(Revenue) AS ‘Smallest’, MAX(Revenue) AS ‘Largest’, AVG(Revenue) AS ‘Average’, COUNT(Revenue) AS ‘Number’ FROM Orders GROUP BY Salesperson You use this clause when you need to see the information in a certain order 5. What is an aggregate function (provide 4)? How are they used? An aggregate function is a function where the values of multiple rows are grouped together as input on certain criteria to form a single value of more significant meaning or measurement AVG() - Returns the average value (average) COUNT() - Returns the number of rows (count) FIRST() - Returns the first value LAST() - Returns the last value 6.

...In a classroom setting, discipline and management are two key components for classroom success. The term classroom management is often used interchangeably with the term classroom discipline. However, the two ideas are very different in their application. Management and discipline are two halves of the same coin, they are intrinsicly connected to each other, but they have their own individual properties, with their own look and feel. Classroom management deals with how things in a class are done. Classroom management is the sole responsibility of the teacher. It encompasses all of the teacher’s interactions with students, classroom environment, rules and procedures, instructional strategies and development of engaging work. In a well managed classroom, the teacher implements policies and develops routines that stabilize and direct the flow of a class. Effective teachers manage their classes so that students spend their time more productively. Elements of classroom management vary. No two classes are alike. However the foundational elements a teacher takes into account before students ever set foot in the build can lend to better classroom management. Things such as classroom layout and organization.A neat and organized classroom tells your students you mean business and you expect them to keep the classroom organized as well. Deciding how to divide up classroom time is another important aspect to classroom management.Lunch, recess, breaks, down-time between lessons and activities...

...Women My psychology class meets every Thursday morning. It is a small class of five students and one instructor. Being in such a small class was unsettling at first because I felt I could not be overlooked by the instructor. I have gotten accustomed to bigger classes where I would blend into the crowd and just be a name in the instructor’s book. Over the last three weeks, I have observed my classmates and my instructor and have learned a thing or two about them. I have also realized how being in a smaller class is actually much more pleasant than previously anticipated. Our classroom is fairly big considering the size of the class. There are eight tables with four chairs at each table. The walls are tasteless, showing only one poster advertising Bryant & Stratton’s impeccable ability to create the world’s best workforce. The teacher’s corner sits at the front of the room while the projector screen hangs on the left wall. Because this is a small class, this poses no problems but I can imagine the seating dilemma if the room were actually full while using the projector system. Mr. Streett is the instructor for this class, a recent graduate from Radford University with a Master’s of Art in Experimental Psychology. He speaks quickly repeating short sentences rephrased but implying the same meaning to help his students grasp the concept being taught. Though he seems to know his stuff, he comes to class unprepared, taking the first 30 minutes of class to make copies...

...(FF) had been running a small, for-profit preschool program for young children between the ages of two and four for several decades. FF was one of several privately run programs in the suburban Boston area. For each of the three age groups (i.e., two-, three- and four- year olds), there were two classes per day for a total of six classes in the facility each day. The classes were held both in the morning and in the afternoon, five days a week between September and June; there were approximately 200 days (40 weeks), or 1,200 class meetings, per year. Only about one- third of FF's local competitors offered classes during the summer months. The morning classes ran from 9:00 a.m. to noon, and the afternoon meetings ran from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Lunch was not served in either class. However, each class served a snack to the children. Class size varied from nine to 15 students per class. Although there was a lot of pressure from parents to reduce class sizes, a recent article in an industry newsletter showed that, given current demographics, the market for such programs could increase by 10% a year for the next five years. The year before, a parent suggested that the school begin hosting birthday parties on the weekend. Since FF's three classrooms were empty during this time, it seemed like a good use of the space and could generate additional revenue. Over the past year, the school had managed to quickly build a sizable side business hosting birthday parties. Approximately...

...Java Class MIS 304 is not a class for everyone. Not just any student should take the class. This class is structured to assist students in learning how to program using the Java language. This class does not make a student an expert in the language of Java, but instead gives the student the basic fundamentals needed to have practical use of the language and gives them a solid foundation upon which they can build if they choose to do so. The material covered in the class is adequate. Java can be a complex language to learn, but in MIS 304 one is taught the basics and nothing too detailed or complicated. The resources that are given to the students are very good. I know that the Java book used for the class is one of the best reference materials on Java that is on the market today. The lab facilities and proctors are also great resources. The only problem I feel that exists is that students don’t take advantage of the resources they have available. Students hardly look through their book for answering questions they might have. Also students hardly even bring their books to the lab when doing programs. They sometimes look for proctors to fix their problems instead of fixing it themselves. I think it should be emphasized to students that the proctors are not their to do the programs for them, but to rather help them figure out what is going wrong in their programs. Also it should be emphasized that the book should be with them when working on programs so that if questions or...

...similar to a class, which can contain only constants, method signatures, and nested types. There are no method bodies. Interfaces cannot be instantiated—they can only be implemented by classes or extended by other interfaces. In Java, a class can inherit from only one class but it can implement more than one interface. | Superclass Instance Method | Superclass Static Method | Subclass Instance Method | Overrides | Generates a compile-time error | Subclass Static Method | Generates a compile-time error | Hides | An abstract class is a class that is declared abstract. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated, but they can be subclassed. It can contain abstract methods that did not have implemented. Subclasses then provide the implementations for the abstract methods. An abstract method is a method that is declared without an implementation (without braces, and followed by a semicolon), like this: Except for the Object class, a class has exactly one direct superclass. A class inherits fields and methods from all its superclasses, whether direct or indirect. A subclass can override methods that it inherits, or it can hide fields or methods that it inherits. (Note that hiding fields is generally bad programming practice.) The Object class is the top of the class hierarchy. All classes are descendants from this class and inherit methods from it. Useful methods inherited from Object include toString(), equals(), clone(), and getClass(). You can prevent a class from being...

...Reflection Paper In our GEP class we discussion many different topics about our first college experience. We were given a list of questions to discuss and one of the main questions we discussed was how different college is from high school. We also had a discussion on how we were all nervous about going to college. Knowing everyone else was just as scared as me made me feel a lot better and I didn’t doubt myself as much because I realized I wasn’t the only one going through those feelings, that it was normal. We all expressed our feelings on what we missed most about home and we love most about home. I felt like we all missed the same things and enjoyed the same things about college. Hearing them say they missed their parents, and animals just like made me feel like we all had a connection. That it’s normal for us to feel that way and it doesn’t mean we can’t do it. In class we also talked about our classes, which ones we like and which ones we don’t. Other students in our class gave me some helpful tips like being about to download Microsoft word for free for our campus help desk. Our teacher also made us feel like we were all the same and could express anything we wanted. He also gave us some helpful tips from his first college year. One topic we talked about that really invoked my feelings was if our parents helped us apply to college. My parents did not go to any college but they tried to help me as much as they could. I realized that some students in our class didn’t have that support...
