...researches for each question in order to get a concept idea. Then Idea and information presentation is become next step, this is good, because the information sharing and discussing always relates to different opinion between different peoples. I got much information I didn't know it before and other members mentioned during the meeting. The most impressive one is ‘What do we know? What do we need to know? How are we going to find out? And who is going to do it?’ The four simple sentences help me to find more critical thinking, so I put it in every question as benefit. Furthermore reflections is about the work we have done, so firstly, let’s talk about what is meant by Humanitarian Aid, our group have searched a lot of definitions and other knowledge that relates to and may give a definition for it. My initial concept to find the meant of it is to separate the words Humanitarian Aid, so Humanitarian can be defined as (a person who is) involved in or connected with improving people's...

...more about it. The process of learning was performed in such way, that students were willing to interact and learn with fun. From the beginning it was anxious, it was not clear what was expected from me, the assessments seemed to be impossible to do. But with every lesson the level of confidence with subject was rising. My first assignment was a test, which supposed to be taken online. It was a high motivator to study and read the textbook. The test covered all the topics, which were taken in semester one, and it was challenging. Unfortunately I have got low grade in it, and I strived to remedy on my next exams. In one of the assignments we were supposed to work in groups. That was our first experience of teamwork. The theoretical knowledge that I gained previously has been applied in this task. We created our fictional product for E-Portfolio. It was a perfume “PHY”. In this assignment we worked on 4P’s of marketing mix: we introduced the product. Perfume industry was chosen due to its high profitability worldwide and in the Middle East particularly. Then we looked for the correct promotional method and the place. And finally we worked on pricing and distribution channels. That was the part I preferred the most. We analyzed the marketing mix from the concept of what do our customers want. Everything learnt so far in this module, was applied in this particular exam....

...to create different activities. Throughout the adult learning theory there have been three changes from volume to volume but one thing that has remained constant is the transformational learning (TL). In the first chapters of adult learning theory transformational learning was more or less describing theory, but in the twenty- first century it is based on research. Researchers from the twentieth century believe that adult learning theory was surrounded around individual learner, how that learner processes information, and how learning allows the person to be more empowered and self-sufficient. In the present day “adult learning was understood as cognitive process, one in which the mind took in facts and information, converting it all to knowledge which then could be observed as subsequent behavioral change.” Adult learning can be effective in more ways than one. This example focuses on adult learning with the use of games. One advantage for learning with games is that it is a hands-on experience which can also motivate individuals to learn....

...Actions done by reason of ignorance Every action one proceeds in doing will always have its consequences whether they are good out bad. All actions are governed by two main categories: voluntary and involuntary. It is through these two categories can one determine where the responsibility of the action lies and what is the proper outcome that the person who performs the action should receive. As Aristotle has mentioned, if the act is voluntary one should be praised or blamed, but should be given reason to be pardoned and sometimes even forgiveness if involuntary. However, what can be said about action done out of ignorance? It seems that some actions can be blame on the person who acted and others cannot. The following essay will discuss the concerns on when one is blameworthy for their action and when one is not. An action performed out of ignorance is, as it said, a deed that one carries out unknowingly or not understanding/given complete information of the situation. An example of that would be, if Anne was driving on a highway and a person, Carl, jump out of nowhere. Anne hits Carl and kills him. Anne cannot be blame for killing Carl because Carl had no reason to be there and Anne had no idea if she had continued down the highway she would have killed someone. Of course one could argue that driving can be considered a dangerous act to begin with and that Anne should have been aware of the consequence that might transpire. In spite of this, Anne still should not be blame...

... The Idea that knowledge really exists has been questioned throughout the years. What is knowledge and how do individuals acquire this knowledge and can it truly be reliable? These are some questions I will try to answer in explain that knowledge does exist and we acquire it thru human contact and observation. One thing that stands out to me is Descartes’ statement “I think therefore I am.” The ability to think it is a way of acquiring knowledge. If we were not able to process and store information we will not be able to think. Also how can you think if you are not knowledgeable? We have also evolved from simple minded creatures to individuals who can go to outer space and explore our galaxy. Knowledge was viewed by Locke as the agreement or disagreement of two arguments. He also tried to explain explicit and tacit knowledge. Explicit knowledge can be added into formal language thru grammar, mathematics because it can be explained thru numbers word and codes. While tacit knowledge seems to be more valuable because it helps individuals to relate experiences, places, things to give context to information. Another way we can see that knowledge is acquired on the way we process or think about information. Many years ago we would have assumed that many things accruing in our surrounding was do to God or Gods, but now we have learned that this may not be true depending on our believes. Our believes have changed during time and so has our knowledge. We have learned to cure...

With one realizing their own learning style will not only convey which courses or subjects they are competent at, however will also enlighten them of the greatest active way of learning and reading for the areas of any subject. In 1987, Neil Fleming designed the VARK learning style assessment which is a questionnaire that has questions that which answered by a person will lead to four scores that gives up to five study strategies which are: Visual, Aural, Reading/write, and Kinesthetic (Fleming,2011). The way in which these scores add up informs a person where they fall within the five areas of learning strategies which is crucial to the education of every individual. This paper will elaborate in enormous fragment multimodal as the author took the VARK assessment and realized she is a multimodal learner. It will also compare and contrast preferred learning strategies with the VARK learning strategies and appraises any changes needed to improve study habits. The author use to think that she learn best from reading and writing of every bit of information, but after taking...

...you will begin to transform and you will have the tools needed to make important decisions about learning. A teacher or a parent has their own unique style that makes their learning process much easier but can be challenging sometimes. However, environmental factors can affect how you learn material and process information. Students can only determine what their learning style really is if they can retain information best by seeing the material, hearing information, or a hands-on experience. There are three major categories or types of individual learning styles that can recognize your learning patterns and how this can help you in the future. The three learning styles are auditory, tactile (kinesthetic), and visual. If you gain more knowledge from what you hear, you are an auditory learner. These learners pay more attention to the tone, words, pitch and the pace of the teacher. Auditory learners would rather listen than read, enjoys talking, and just hearing poems or jingles can help the learner remember important dates and events that happened. You may be a auditory learner if you are good at being in study groups, enjoys listening...

America is widely known for its prestige college universities and its higher standards for learning and knowledge. As Americans how would the world be if we did not have Learning and Knowledge in our American culture? Today, we are going to discuss Learning and Knowledge and how it has vastly affected our American culture as a whole. Learning and knowledge in American culture has always been perceived as your stepping stone to a better life. First, we will examine Learning and its effect on the American culture. In a famous quote from Leonard Da Vinci “Learning never exhausts the mind”.1 This can be simply put as our minds as human beings will continue to learn and grow as much as we deem fit. Typically, we attend school all the way up to the age of eighteen and we have a choice to make on whether or not to attend college or set off into the American work force.

...Personal Essay In 2010 I was deployed to Afghanistan in Operation Enduring Freedom. During my deployment I got the chance to experience the culture and also meet and speak with the civilians that live in Afghanistan. My experiences in Afghanistan gave me a greater understanding of how diverse the world is. The cultural differences in Afghanistan took some getting used to. Everything from their clothing, customs to the overall way they live was so much different then anything I’ve ever experienced. The male clothing consisted of a dress, turban and some type of a coat and the women’s clothing usually included a long dress and a veil which was used to cover the hair and face of the women. It is the law in Afghanistan that women cover their hair and face, also men are not suppose to look or speak to a woman if she is married, which was a real culture shock for me to learn that. Learning their culture and understanding how not to be disrespectful was a challenge for me. For instance, making eye contact while having a conversation is disrespectful, also male friends will hold hands while they walk together. When I had dinner with an Afghanistan family I got the chance to learn about the ways they communicate and a little about social norms; For example, I was told before dinner not to point my toe heel or any part of my foot towards a person or to use my foot to move anything because it is disrespectful. It was a struggle for me to learn all these customs I was not use to; however...

...The European Language Portfolio is a personal document in which the person who learns a language can register his/her experiences of language learning and experiencies with other cultures. It can be updated at anytime by the learner, the real responsible for his/her own learning. The Portfolio collects the work accomplished by the holder from three different aspects. Firstly, in terms of acquired competences and formal qualifications, what is called the Passport section. These qualifications are designed under a common framework, which allows internacional recognition as well as cooperation and mobility among educational institutions. As the criteria of the learning proficiency are clearly settled, the passport enables assessment, both self-assessment and teachers’ assessment. Furthermore, teachers can use portfolios to tailor teaching to an individualized instruction according to the descriptors and the lacking in skills for each student. Secondly, it is collected the information related to the tracking of goal achievements, the Language Biography. This part records not only the cultural experiences but intercultural contacts as well. Learner is able to list surroundings languages, behaviours and to assess positive attitudes towards cultural diversity, which fosters multilingualism. Thirdly, documents and materials are attached in order to evidence the abilities previously mentioned*, whether the Passport or the Biography. Compositions, letters, written reflections...

I was shocked to learn that I was even expected to submit progress reports at the end of quarter on the undertaken project in which I had neither any clue nor communication. As an amiable person, I was too quick to reach an agreement with Tim on project deliverables. I had thought that I would be receiving friendly advice and guidance from Tim during the course of the project. My apprehensions to ask questions had pTimably made Tim think that I understood deliverables; however, in order to show support for the project I had initially agreed upon without understanding the details and necessary background knowledge. Even after understanding the complications, I was hesitant to challenge his expectation that the program could be...

The Company that influenced me to start this business was Corporate Financial services. This was the Company that I worked at for the 3 years before I figured out it was time for me to do this on my own.

...Chapter 1 PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction “Lord, you have examined me and you know me. You know everything I do; from far away you understand all my thoughts. You see me, whether I am working or resting; you know all my actions. Even before I speak, you already know what I will say. You are all around me on every side, you protect me with your power. Your knowledge of me is too deep; it is beyond my understanding.” (Psalms 139: 1-6) Studying is essential. There is nothing quite so pleasing in the world of education as to the ones coming along with much knowledge about the subject matter than those who are walking into an examination with the blustery confidence . At the same time, despite the fact that, there are many temptations when one sits down for study still they can concentrate studying because they have a goal to achieve. The most important study habit is recognizing that one is responsible for the successes and also failures. Taking on this responsibility entails the understanding that the priorities, decisions, habits, and resources all establish the success one has, or does not have, with studying. (Donaghy, 2009) Study habit is a technique or a strategy used every time a person is studying. Some students would have the same study habit or may have a different one. Based on the researchers’ point of view, it depends on whether a specific study habit is effective for them. Students may use different kinds of techniques. For example, a student may study...

...the challenges presented by Gettier and others undermine or discredit the traditional definition of knowledge. If you are justified in holding a particular view or belief, then it would be justifiable for you to accept any statements of logic associated with that belief. Gettier’s belief that justified true belief may be necessary for knowledge, but not being sufficient for actually knowing seems to be a contradiction to me. Also, the simple fact that there is not a consensus on a solution to “The Gettier Problem” leads me to wonder if a solution actually exists. The concept of justified true belief is not a matter of knowing or not knowing, it addresses the difference of knowing and having knowledge. The vagueness of this idea has left many philosophers and epistemologists pondering the definition of knowledge. I will address the third solution given in this assignment. In this solution, it is suggested that justification be replaced with “something else”. I found this also to be a very vague response to the issue at hand. This concept is based on the use of cognitive processes in obtaining knowledge. . This solution also states that the Reliabilist does not find it necessary to know whether or not these cognitive processes are functioning properly. If one has no idea whether or not cognitive processes are functioning properly, how can one be certain of the knowledge obtained from the use of those processes? Even if this solution is accepted, who determines the reliability...
