...length is appropriate. No matter what, if you're given directions, follow them. A brilliant essay might still fail to get its point across if it doesn't follow the rules. Remember, the main point is what you should concentrate on. Stick to the question key words throughout your essay.

...1. Describe the Second Great Awakening and why it was important. (Pages 332 -333) The Second Great Awakening was an Evangelist movement in the early nineteenth century. The first notable event in the Second Great Awakening was in 1801 at Cane Ridge, Kentucky. It was an official religious meeting for preachers to get their licenses, baptisms for new converts, and licensing marriages. The non-believers often set up in the outskirts of the event conducting actions of sin. When they had seizures the religious people encouraged it to continue, because they felt it was Christ relieving them of their demons. If they lived they were often converted and had religious zeal. The South had a wider influence; the Second Great Awakening was not as potent in the North. There were few significant Northern preachers. Reverend Timothy Dwight, Nathaniel Taylor, Charles G. Finney, and Lyman Beecher were the most significant preachers of the era. They had the most success in urban areas, but still strove to achieve religious awakening in the cities, New York being a major target. The Second Great Awakening was vital for the religious reformation to take place. The Second Great Awakening produced fruit during the...

...little-to-no experience using them. The most often overlooked limitation is the issue of ‘reverse inference’ – just because cognition X (e.g. using one’s memory) is associated with brain activation Y (e.g. activation in the prefrontal cortex), that doesn’t mean that if a participant displays activation Y, they are necessary engaging in cognition X. Below we highlight some key neuropsychological and neuroscientific techniques, and a few of their limitations. There are also a number of great blogs that deal with issues relating to neuroscience, particularly in the popular press (e.g. Bad Science, The Neurocritic, [citation needed]). Testing brain damaged subjects (Neuropsychology) Neuropsychology, the precursor to modern neuroscience, allowed us to learn a great deal about brain function by examining people with specific, known brain injuries. Cognitive changes are often reported in people who have suffered some kind of brain injury. The damaged areas are a good indicator of the brain regions that are important to the cognitive function that has been changed by...

...Assignment 1: Partnership vs. Corporation Due Week 7 and worth 240 points Use the partnership and corporate tax returns for the practice sets titled, “Pet Kingdom” and “ROCK the Ages, LLC” that you prepared in Weeks 3 and 5 in order to complete this assignment. Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you: 1. Compare and contrast the tax rules and treatment applicable to corporations and partnerships. Indicate the major way in which the tax treatment affects the shareholders or partners. The tax rules for a corporation are taxed at a different level than the various business structures. Corporations are the only business structure that are required to pay its own income taxes based on the profits received. The corporation requires it to file a tax return using Form 1120 and pay taxes at a corporate income tax rate on any profits. When deciding on what amount must be paid at a corporate level, the amount of tax due must be estimated and are due by the end of the year and quarterly payments are recommended. The shareholders are affected by the corporation tax rules, because they are taxed based upon being owners and working for the corporation and required to pay taxes on their salaries and the bonuses they receive like any regular employees of a company. It must be understood that salaries and bonuses are being deducted as business expenses, so that means that the corporation does not pay taxes on them. A corporation is taxed on all its profits because it does not...

While there are many other disruptive behaviors, these are a few that this author feels are most common. Sleeping In Class As with many negative and disruptive behaviors, sleeping in class can be a sign of something bigger. The first sign of this problem from a student warrants a discussion with the student at a time when the student will not be embarrassed in front of the class. The teacher needs to find out the reason behind this behavior and if it is a one-time occurrence or is likely to happen often. Once the teacher has discussed this issue with the student and determined why it is happening, it is best to make a seating arrangement where this student will gain the most out of a lesson and keep their attention.

...Nothing in 500 Words Paul Roberts Paul Roberts (1917-1967) was a linguist, a teacher, and a writer at San Jose State College from 1946 to 1960 and at Cornell University from 1962 to 1964. His books on writing, including English Syntax (1954) and Patterns of English (1956), have helped generations of high school and college students become better writers. "How to Say Nothing in 500 Words" is taken from his best-known book, Understanding English (1958). Although written almost fifty years ago, the essay is still relevant for student writers today. Good writing, Roberts tells us, is not simply a matter of filling up a page; rather, the words have to hold the reader's interest, and they must say something. In this essay, Roberts uses lively prose and a step-by-step process to guide the student from the blank page to the finished essay. His bag of writing su;ptegies holds good advice for anyone who wants to write well. PREPARING TO READ How do you feel about writing? Do you find writing difficult?
