...Effectiveness of Technology on Math Facts Fluency Name: Institution: Course: Tutor: Date: A. RESEARCH TOPIC The majority individuals would have the same opinion that a key objective of education must involve the expansion of learners’ comprehension of fundamental mathematical theories along with procedures. Every student, comprising learners with impairments and students vulnerable to failure, require gaining the know-how and capabilities that may allow them into “understanding” math-associated questions which they come across everyday at domicile as well as in upcoming work incidences. Unluckily, substantial evidence exists to designate that such goal isn’t being achieved, particularly for kids manifesting learning problems. Because the initial dispiriting outcomes of arithmetic accomplishment discovered with State Evaluation of Schooling Progress (SESP) during 1974, insufficient evidence exists to indicate that arithmetic accomplishment has increased considerably, particularly for learners with impairments (Spinelli, 2012). The intention for this research is to identify technology effectiveness towards fundamental arithmetic fluency. As a component of the classroom educational involvement, the research was carried out with ten learners with fair to stern cognitive impairments registered into a school of special training. This five-week research employed a solitary-case turnaround plan (ABAB). Data...

Why? Are the correct people performing the activity? Could other people perform the task more effectively? * What? What is being done? What procedures are being followed? Why is that process necessary? Often, Procedures are being followed for many years and no one knows why. You should question why a procedure is being followed at all. * Where? Where are operations being performed? * Why? Where could they be performed? Could they be performed more efficiently elsewhere? When? When is a procedure performed? Why is it being performed at this time? Is this the best time? * How? How is a procedure performed? Why is it performed in that manner? Could it be performed better, more efficiently, or less expensively in some other manner 2. What is a systems requirement, and how are systems requirements classified? A System Requirement is characteristic or feature that must be included in an information system to satisfy business requirements and be acceptable to users. System requirements serve as benchmarks to measure the overall acceptability of the finished system.

...through a variety of appeals and techniques. As was stated, this journal article uses very few emotional appeals; the argument is focused in the logical presentation and evaluation of the researchers’ data. However, in providing example first-person responses offered as answers to the children of the study, the authors have created a small emotional appeal to the audience. Presenting example sentences such as “my parents have their own problems, so I don't bother them with mine” (Qin et al. 1710) and “my parents and I decide together” (Qin et al. 1709), the authors find success in putting the reader in the shoes of the children, helping to paint a better picture of what the children’s response data truly means while also making the reader feel for the children, minorly increasing the pathos of the argument....

...Fact-finding techniques and how it affects system designs Troy Sutton A Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements Of [CS400] January 2015 Going to be honest is one of the most different types of research papers I have had to and do. I understand the process of the fact-finding techniques and how to apply them when it comes to system design in this paper I’m going to cover how the interview process, documentation review, general observation and surveys and questionnaires and how they play a part in system design. The interview process also includes conducting surveys so this is a crucial step. This is where you break it down into three different levels first level being the executive branch that all the people that their title has C in it. Second level would be all the managers and supervisors. The third would be the everyday user. You must have an understanding that each of these levels are going do require different functions on a day-to-day basis. the executive branch only wants to look at reports and see the bottom line of a company, The second level wants to see both up and down making sure that the people that are working for them are doing the job right and there meeting the expectations of the executives, and the everyday user wants to make sure that there meeting the companies goals. The interview process is simple it’s face-to-face time with the different levels and you come up with a standard list of questions this is where I think...

...Evidence of New Planet For years, we have known only about the 8 planets in our solar system, well 9 if you are like me and are still counting our most missed Pluto. These planets have been there for years and will be there for more years to come. However, new findings have discovered evidence of the forming of a planet approximately 335 light-years from Earth in a star. This discovery is a huge one, for that the new planet is said to grow at least three sizes the planet Jupiter. The group of astronomers that made such discovery is an international team led by Clemson University in California. These astronomers found the planet orbiting the star named HD 100546. However, what makes the scientists believe this is in fact a new planet? The reason is that, the team found carbon-monoxide emission that is the leading fact of the creation of a planet and because new studies have confirmed activity around the HD 100546 star. This new finding is a big to all astronomers for that this would allow them to test their theories in terms of the creation of solar systems, such as our very own. According to the article, since the proximity of this new forming planet is closer than other disk systems, it is easier to study in detail the process of formation. Meaning we would be able to have front role seats to such a fascinating event, at least hopefully for part of our lifetime. (Clemson University, 2014). Scientists excitedly state that once they understand what is going on in terms...

...Red Cross submitted a report of its findings to the Central Intelligence Agency in 2007. The report concluded that American’s interrogation methods should be categorized as torture, violating both American law and international law; the report also notifies that the abuse constituted of war crimes and threatened the highest officials of the US government of being prosecuted. Red Cross representatives were not allowed access to the actual room interrogation of high level prisoners and secret prisons, however several CIA officers confirmed parts of the Red Cross report, and a CIA spokesman confirmed to the New York Times that the Red Cross Committee’s interrogation was based on detailed legal guidance from the Justice Department of the United States. As a response to these accusations, certain memos providing the legal basis for certain interrogation techniques were released by the president Obama administration to the public eye. In a speech at the CIA headquarters, president Obama emphasized that he acted primarily because of the exceptional circumstances that surrounded these memos, particularly because of the fact that so much of the information had been publically acknowledged and reassured to CIA members that they have his full support. He also assured that the techniques described in those memos are no longer in action. The so called “torture memos” were filled with detailed descriptions of controversial interrogation techniques, such as waterboard, walling, cramped...

...Brainwashing MIND CONTROL 10/9/14 7 pages Ryan Manuel CFB 3333 Fall 2014 Mind Control or brainwashing is a theory or claim that was ultimately discovered by Edward Hunter in the 1950’s within the time of the Cold War. By using the term "hsi-nao" the Chinese people and officials meant certain different techniques in dealing with adversaries, troops or platoons and the training of officials within the time of the Korean War. To the Western usage the term "brainwashing" spread in the 1950s through several publications depicting the treatment of American soldiers at Chinese prison camp during the Korean War 1950-1953. Mind control can also be described or defined as thought reform, thought control, or coercive persuasion. Mind Control can be defined also as a theoretical indoctrination process that results in a person’s inability to think on their own, and disrupt the beliefs and affiliations a person has with a certain religion or person. There are various different theories within the idea of brainwashing, but the main idea or reason behind the tactic of brainwashing is to be used within the field of battle. Mind control occurs when people ultimately have their minds controlled by a certain action wanted to take place or controlled by a certain group of people of higher being or higher stature whom are trying to conquer a certain object or rule a certain person. Mind control is a claim that has been tested and tested...

Basically the pros and cons show the positive and negatives of taxation without representation. This could have likely been determined through solicitation of opinions among the colonists, in which a number of them agreed with the radicals. 2. Explain the importance of building a foundation for critical and creative thinking when evaluating historical events such as the Boston Tea Party. The importance of building a foundation for critical and creative thinking when evaluating historical events is to consider the facts of the things that happened. In other words the things that we know were true. The reason it is important to create a foundation of creative thinking is because along with the facts we should also consider other possibilities and outcomes of what could have happened that we...

...Conflict, Decision Making, and Structure Paul McKenzie Strayer University Leadership and Organizational Behavior Bus 520 Dr. Keith W. Langner December 20, 2012 Conflict, Decision Making, and Structure From the inception of time, the human race has been experiencing and grappling with conflicts of all kinds—both internally and externally. In most recent years, however, conflicts in the workplace have become more prevalent due to diverse cultures, organizational structures, and workplace dynamics such as stress, discrimination, cultural difference, idiosyncrasy, pay inequality, grievance and dispute, and others. These prevailing conditions have and are affecting organizations of all sizes. As a result, many companies are forced to implement guidelines and strategies so as to mediate, mitigate, manage, reconcile, and resolve such existing conditions in a more effectively manner, while creating better-working environments. Having said that, this paper intends to objectively address four given scenarios surrounding conflict, decision making, and organizational design. Those scenarios will be addressed in the following sequence: (1) negotiation strategies used to address potential conflicts in the workplace, (2) evidence-based management and its relevant application, (3) analysis regarding effective methods and creative-decision making, (4) and environmental and strategic factors that affect the organizational design of a researched company. Negotiation...

...Techniques Used for Absolute Dating in Archeology In their research efforts to increase the validity of their findings, many archaeologists put to use absolute dating techniques to assign a chronological background to all materials they find. Absolute dating techniques, also known as chronometric dating techniques, are methods in which archeologists utilize chemistry and physics to determine the ages of a particular piece of material, artifact, or cultural remains. Some of absolute dating techniques are radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology, and potassium-argon dating. Radiocarbon dating is one of the most widely used techniques. This method is used to determine the age of organic substances such as bone, charcoal, shell, or wood by measuring the amount of the carbon isotope, carbon-14, remaining in them. The technique focuses on carbon-14, an unsteady radioactive isotope of carbon, which decays away at a steady rate. Organisms seize a certain amount of carbon-14 from the atmosphere when they are alive. By measuring the ratio of the radio isotope to non-radioactive carbon, the amount of carbon-14 decay can be calculated, thus giving an age for the material in question. Radiocarbon dating is usually used for determining ages up to about 50,000 years old, because dating older materials is much less accurate with this method. The relationship between the age estimates, also known as radiocarbon years and calendar years varies through time. Due to the distinctive variation in...

...services served in a restaurant, like, high quality food and drinks, skilled staffs, nice ambiance and good music. Consumers are not aware that music is part of the service offered. And subconsciously, they didn’t know that music can boost their appetite and affect their mood in eating. Background of the Study Music and noise level can affect people’s enjoyment of what they eat (Journal of Culinary Science and Hospitality). Appetite in 2006, found that listening to music increased the amount of food eaten and the duration of meals, but that the speed and volume of the music didn’t have a significant effect. Taste is the most obvious sense associated with food, but it is by no means the only sense we engage to to enjoy a good meal. In fact, all our senses come into focus when we eat. According to Hopkins (2007) study found that music has the ability to influence the speed with which we eat. Slow music slows us down; test subjects listening to slow music downed three mouthfuls of food per minute, as compared to the five mouthfuls diners listening to a fast beat consumed. Hoteliers and restaurateurs know that taste is only one aspect of good meal. In national settings, Tin Drum Café in Atlanta, Steven Chan, the owner of fast casual concept and Asian street food eatery Tin Drum Cafe, was originally inspired by the atmosphere and taste of the street food in Hong Kong. Featuring bustling streets, excitement, and the sounds of a large drum, he wanted to bring the vibe of Hong Kong...
