...http://clep.collegeboard.org/exam. Check with your librarian about locating study aids relevant to the exams you plan to take. These supplementary materials may include videos or DVDs made by education-oriented companies and organizations, language tapes and computer software. And don’t forget that what you do with your leisure time can be very educational, whether it’s surfing current-events websites, watching a PBS series, reading a financial newsletter, or attending a play. 3. Find a good place to study. To determine what kind of place you need for studying, ask yourself the following questions: Do I need a quiet place? Does the telephone distract me? Do objects I see in this place remind me of things I should do? Is it too warm? Is it well lit? Am I too comfortable here? Do I have space to spread out my materials? You may find the library more conducive to studying than your home. If you decide to study at home or in your dorm, you might prevent interruptions by other household members by putting a sign on the door of your study room to indicate when you will be available. 4. Schedule time to study. To help you determine where studying best fits into your schedule, try this exercise: Make a list of your daily activities (for example, sleeping, working, eating, attending class, sports or exercise) and estimate how many hours a day you spend on each activity. Now, rate all the activities on your list in order of their importance and evaluate your use of time...

...Assessment Task: Critically assess management practices and the impact of culture upon them, including work, motivation, entrepreneurship, leadership and team-working. Impact of culture on work Management practices are task oriented and relationship oriented. Task oriented relationship is that in which the head fixates on the tasks which need to be accomplished in order to meet several goals or to complete a certain work standard. On the other hand, relationship oriented is a behavior dependent which could be the satisfaction focused by the leader as well as ordinary health of the team members. To illustrate this , Australian are task oriented in that they want to get a job done while Indians are more relationship focused; more interested in the way they work with other colleagues. Moreover in a task focused relationship there would be high turnover, whereas in the relationship focused the leader is trust worthy. Impact of culture on Motivation Motivation is a state arising in processes that are internal and external to the individual, in which the person perceives that it is appropriate to pursue a certain course of action directed at achieving a specified outcome (Rollinson ,2005, pp.189). Motivation depends on the relationship and cultural factors in which performance plays an important role. In task focused relationship progress and productivity of the individual is measured. On the other hand, in relationship oriented motivation, comfort and feelings...

...depends on what is being demonstrated in the picture. If the instruction calls for a specific part of the pictured object to be manipulated, coloring just that part proves most effective. If the intended audience is people with poor reading and interpreting skills, then it is highly recommended that color be used in this manner. All the results from the research suggest that people who are easily frustrated with instructions prefer highlights to black and white, and full color. Furthermore, the color should be strictly limited to the major functions of the task being illustrated. Unnecessary highlights increase the complexity, and in turn the understandability of the picture. A further recommendation can be made concerning the amount of highlighting that should be used. The number of different colors in any given picture instructing a complex task should be limited. When highlighting the important functions of the task, only a small range of colors should be included. If a broad range of colors is used, the reader could interpret their meaning incorrectly. They could, for example, think one color is more important than another is or think that the colors are implying a sequence in the instructions. If the picture is of a general object or action with no focus, then using full color, as opposed to black-and-white, is more effective. Overall, color is more attractive and appeals to the reader and will help to limit the frustration they may encounter. Full color pictures...

To accomplish a task successfully together as a group is to create social identity and pride of being GSB students of Assumption University. Even we are from different places and cultures but we can well fit in together through the activities we participated. b. The process - What was going on The first process was a forming stage. In some activities, we were grouped by ourselves. But in some activities, the groups were formed by randomly grouped by color of name tags. There was no clear group purpose and leader yet. The second process was a storming stage. There were decisions of whom to be the leader. It was not obviously selected but can be noticed when a person in a group say the opinion. The third process was a norming stage. There were close relationships developed. We get to know each other after a short conversation. Everyone knows their roles and group’s expectation. The fourth stage was a performing stage. The close relationship fully developed after a while of chatting together. Group members are fully function, understand each other and performing well together. Everyone doing their best to have their group win the activities. The last stage was the adjourning stage. As we only have limited task to do together. We wrapped up the activities and the group was dissolved. c. The result The activities created friendship, harmony and social...

...Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract This paper reviews some of the literature on the use of groupwork as a form of assessment in tertiary institutions. It outlines the considerable advantages of groupwork but also its systemic associated problems. In discussing the problems, the paper considers issues such as ‘‘free riding’’ and the ‘‘sucker effect’’, issues associated with ethnic mix in groups, and the social dilemma problem—in which students face conflicting demands between altruism and self-interest. The paper then outlines several models of effective groupwork and makes suggestions for implementing groupwork tasks. The paper also looks at the key assessment tasks which are commonly employed—namely, additive, conjunctive, disjunctive and discretionary tasks—and assesses which are most suited to groupwork. The paper considers the related issues of task complexity, recognition for effort, and strategies for minimising issues concerning group size. The paper also briefly considers strategies for implementing incentives for groupwork members, and outlines the issue of penalties for unproductive group members. The paper concludes by providing recommendations for how to maximise the advantages of groupwork while trying to minimise the disadvantages. Keywords Groupwork Á Assessment Á Free-riding Á Sucker effect Introduction: the advantages of groupwork The importance of groupwork as a form of assessment has long been recognised among educators.

...assessment, and portfolios. Other activities included in this type are teacher observation and student self-assessment. * Components of Alternative Assessment a) Assessment is based on authentic task that demonstrate students’ ability to accomplish communication goals. b) The teacher and students focus on communication, not on right and wrong answers. c) Students help the teacher to set the criteria for successful completion of communication tasks. d) Students have opportunities to assess themselves and their peers. Performance-based Assessment Performance assessment ( Mueller, 2010) is an assessment in which students are asked to perform real world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills. It is a direct measure of student performance because the tasks are designed to incorporate context, problems and solution strategies that students would use in real life. It focus on processes abd rationales. There is no single correct answer; instead students are led to craft polished, thorough and justifiable responses, performances and products. It also involved long-range projects, exhibits, and performances that are linked to the curriculum. In this kind of assessment, the teacher is an important collaborator in creating tasks, as well as in developing guidelines for scoring and interpretation. Details regarding performance-based assessment will be discussed in chapter 7. Performance-Based Assessment Performance-based...
