...assessed Lab 5 Built-in functions and methods ASSESSMENT INFORMATION This worksheet is one of the seven assessed lab sheets. It can be assessed within the next 5 weeks. Let me know in advance when you’d like to be assessed. Deadline: Thursday, 17th of July. Do not forget to have it ‘signed off’ after you have been assessed. 1 introduction This laboratory worksheet covers the use of built in functions, methods and classes within the Java programming environment.

Try and organise your work (from the following exercises) into separate methods as we did in the previous worksheet. 3 Strings Copy the following code into your project and run the program. public static void main(String args[]) { double number = 1.0/3.0; System.out.println(number); DecimalFormat number_format = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); String formatted_string = number_format.format(number); System.out.println(formatted_string); } Is it showing you an error?

...Shake and Erupt: A critical reflection on teaching earthquakes and volcanoes to KS3 Rationale: Perhaps the most dynamic features of the Earth’s awesome power and nature are when Volcanoes and Earthquakes occur. Their workings are at the very core of our planet’s history and their unpredictable activity continues to shake mankind’s understanding of the planet. This topic or scheme of work for my mixed ability year nine class offers a plethora of attributes that both incorporates sound core Geographic knowledge and divers teaching formats that can present a degree of awe and wonder into the minds of young people. Planning and teaching such a topic at a time when the Geography National Curriculum is being reviewed by the new coalition Government, seems to provide somewhat of a blank canvass as to what pedagogical approaches might be the most appropriate to adopt. Whatever the NC will look like, we are led to believe that there will be a re-focus on the ‘core’ knowledge in subjects like Geography. This is not to say a return to didactic teaching where teachers are merely transmitters of information, or indeed to adopt a textbook pedagogy which is reminiscent of the late 1970s and 1980s. The Geography Curriculum Consultation Full Report makes it clear “That a line-by-line, detailed list of geography’s contents is not the best way to draw a positive response from teachers . . . though there is strong support for the national curriculum achieving greater clarity over the core...

The survey results in this project indicate that teachers do use these approaches in the classroom but not frequently enough. Usage of engagement based approaches in the classroom can be increased with changes in attitudes of teachers, sufficient support from schools and changes in modes of assessment. i AKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the following people who have helped me in making this Masters Project interesting and a memorable one: Associate Professor Helmer Aslaksen for his guidance and patience.
