... all grades from all current classes are averaged to create a grade point average (GPA) for the marking period. The GPA is calculated by taking the number of grade points a student earned in a given period of time of middle school through high school.[1] The GPA can be used by potential employers or educational institutions to assess and compare applicants. A Cumulative Grade Point Average is a calculation of the average of all of a student's grades for all of his or her complete education career. In the IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Program), which covers the final two years of high school, as well at the associated MYP (Middle Years Program) grades are given on a scale of 1-7, with 7 representing the highest level of achievement. Scores are always represented with whole numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 are the only possible grades). Because these grades do not represent percentages, but instead correspond with specific rubric requirements, one could theoretically answer 90% of questions on a given exam correctly, but still get a 5 if the 10% they missed represented crucial problems that corresponded to the 6 and 7 grade mark-bands. Additionally, each subject has slightly different ranges that correspond with different grading boundaries, making it difficult to compare IB grades with other education systems. In the MYP, a student takes several classes that are each graded on the 7-point grading scale, including a First Language, a Second Language, Humanities...

... This is expressed further in the IB’s Mission Statement which states its desire to create a better world through education, which it claims can best, be achieved through international-mindedness. It adds to this by stating that ‘the International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect (ibid). As with the other programmes, the PYP and MYP, the DP ‘promotes the education of the whole person, emphasizing intellectual, personal, emotional and social growth’ (IBO 2008 p.2) which it claims would encourage the student to become an ‘active compassionate lifelong learner’ (IBO 2008). Thus, the education the IB gives can be seen as preparing students for a fulfilling productive life in which their skills and attribute are ‘constantly challenged, developed and...

...with a load of books in their hand I immediately think “oh what a smart and knowledgeable person,” and I’m sure I’m not the only one that makes these snap judgments. But from my point of view it’s understandable that words and symbols are the universal sign of knowledge since we are taught from books and blackboards since our toddler years. Now what I consider knowledge is things that we hold to be true and are able to identify in real life. Teachers have been molding our brains to be able to communicate our knowledge using words since we were little, but as we grow older and we get into secondary school we come to realize that there is knowledge that cannot be expressed through words and symbols. The goal of the International Baccalaureate program is to make students well rounded and knowledgeable in many fields and along with that comes many requirements that other programs do not ask of their students. From my perspective knowledge that cannot be expressed in words and symbols is as important to have as knowledge that can, justifying the CAS requirements. CAS is the International Baccalaureate program’s way of teaching us what cannot be covered in books or lectures. This knowledge can be described in words but only to a certain extent. I think that CAS is a very large contributing factor to why the IB program nurtures well rounded students. CAS pushes students to seek out new activities for the purposes of gaining experiences that would have been otherwise undiscovered. I believe...

...memorize my speech well enough and did not deliver it nearly as well as I was hoping I would. I decided to ask my junior date to prom through impromptu speaking, but when the time actually came I did not have the right words to say and she was not too happy with me, luckily I gave her flowers. I could have obtained a job working at a beach club last year, but during my interview, failed to use enough specific, concrete words and ended up not being hired by the company. I could have told my mom up front when I knocked down and broke her favorite lamp, but instead used to too much figurative language to the point where she couldn’t figure out what I was telling her and had to find out on her own. When telling my dad that I wanted to quit track, I had trouble making eye contact with him and my physical delivery was off, making it difficult to persuade him and make my point, instead I just beat around the bush and made it harder for both of us. I highly regret the time I delivered a speech on the holiday of Halloween and passed around candy for my audience, because people were more interested in finding red Starburst than what I had to say. Recently, for my Leisure and Lifestyle Development class I brought a Frisbee as my visual aid when telling people of what I liked to do for leisure. My teacher promptly asked me to show off my skill in Frisbee and I almost broke someone’s nose. That was a poor visual aid to choose. In my recent speech about junk food, I could have...

Code: DrawArcDemo.java Explanation: In this code a method DrawArc() and FillArc() was used. It has 6 parameters that assign to a point to which the object was created and formed like that. The output became dark because of FillArc() which it fills the space inside the arc and also it is the same parameters as the arc have. Code: JDemoPaint.java Explanation: A button was assign to repaint() method. When we click the “Press here” button, It updates the window. There is also a counting that counts how many times we repaint the applet. Code: RoundRectDemo Explanation: As what we have seen, this illustrates how we draw a rectangle into circle. Its uses 6 parameters as the x and y location, the height and the width, and the point how it bends.

...don’t have respects for the customers and which is why most of their business goes out of business. I remember that one time this sale person was really pushy and rude like they were so desperate that they want me to buy the products no matter what. I know from experiences in life that you can’t sound rude, mean or even desperate to your prospects because that really push the prospect further away for buying the products. In order to get customers, one must have to think like a customers and say, “What can interest me to buy certain type of products and why?” I believe many professionals used this method to get customers that they want to and make sure they get to close. In another words, the professionals want to able to present to the point that they...

...How to write a Literature Review: Step 1: Read a lot. Sounds simplistic, but the fact is that you do have to read a lot, and read with care and purpose. There are things that you can do within the process to make your life easier, and the purpose of this short document is to point some of them out. Hopefully, this will help. However, there is no substitute for good, thorough, and hard work. When you start your reading, start broadly. If you have an area you are interested in, such as computers in education, multi-media, distance education, web-based instruction, or some other specific concentration, start your reading in those areas. Course assigned reading will help, but you will have to branch outwards and inwards. Don’t be afraid to follow an area that seems not to be related to your area. You are trying to define your interests. Allow yourself the freedom to do that. Here are some tips on how you might branch out, and/or focus in: A. Look carefully at the references. Should the author raise a salient point that interests you and they happen to cite somebody, look up the citation and read the original source. The original source will have its own references, follow these. Repeat as necessary. B. Read from tangentially related fields. Don’t be afraid to look outside of the literature in IT to other areas. Educational Psychology, Human Resources, Computer Science, and Communications Studies are but a few of the related fields with important information...

...Portland U. vs. Washington U. tonight this game tips at 10pm est. The line is -19 to Washington U. Washington U. is trying to convince the country that it's an elite team. UW has an elite player in Isaiah Thomas but UW has lost to the only 2 elite top ten programs they have played. They had a 7 point loss to Kentucky and 5 point loss to Michigan State. Portland is hardly in the same league with these programs but UW is going to need to take care of business tonight. While beating Portland by no means will justify UW as one of the best programs, losing to them could most certainly drop them out of the top 25. Portland U. while in a lesser conference is a good solid team. Luke Sikma is their best player at 6-8 and 12 ppg. This team can play with any small conference opponent but they have shown when they play the big boys they fold. Kentucky got them by 31 points and Washington State beat them by 16 points. WSU is un ranked but they are a nice team. This game is at Washington so that makes it tougher for Portland to come away with the upset. Going over the numbers: UW 95.7ppg to 71.9pg allowed. PORT 69.8ppg to 65.3ppg allowed. Offensive rebounds are going to be what helps UW win this game and win it big. While UW has hit 100 the last 2 games I don't see UW putting a hundred on Port but I do think they will be close. My score prediction is 91-69. Washington...
