...In this week’s Discussion Board we were to search the internet and locate the sale price for a dream car. My dream car is the 2013 BMW X5 listed sale price of $47, 500.00 1. We are to ignore sales tax. 2. We are to determine the annual interest rate for your loan using information from a local bank or an internet ad. Reduce this rate by 1%. This is r expressed as a decimal. Interested rate advertised by NavyFederal is 1.79% (Autoloan rates, 2012) This rate is reduced by 1%, therefore r=0.79% 3. We are to decide the time, in years, you wish to repay the loan (typically, 3-7 years, half years are ok). Time to repay loan is 72 months or 6 years. T= 6. 4. We are to determine the interest on your loan, using the formula: o interest = sale price*rate*time, (I = prt). o I = 47,500.00 (0.0079) 6 = 2251.5 or $2,251.50 5. We are to determine the total cost of your loan, using the formula: o Total cost = (sale price*rate)time + Sale Price o Total cost = 47,500.00 (0.0079) 6 + 47,500.00 = 2251.50 + 47,500.00 = 49,751.50 or $49,751.50 6. We are to model the total cost as a linear function, with time as the independent variable: F(t) = (pr)t + p. F(t) = (47500)* 0.0079*t + (47500) F(t) = (375.25)t + 47500 7. We are to divide the total cost by the number of months, to determine the monthly payment. Monthly Payments = Total cost /number of months = 49,751.50/72 = 690.993 or $691.00 8. We are to Repeat steps 4 & 5 to determine the cost of the loan...

My professional long-term goal is to complete my BSN in the next two years by April 2016 which will enable myself career advancement. I would like to take a management job and teach nursing. By currently being enrolled in BSN courses, I am now eligible to increase my job duties at work which is a short-term goal to obtain in the next month. Another short-term goal is to join a work-based council at my hospital and unit this year. I plan to increase in level in our hospital nursing career ladder which is a short term goal to do within the next year. I cannot get past a level two nurse without being enrolled in classes for my BSN. Completing my BSN is also a long-term personal goal for self-improvement. My short-term personal goal is to complete my first online course with at least a B average or above within the next month. Improving my computer skills and writing skills are other short-term personal goals in the next six months. According to Bateman and Barry (2012) “When people are committed to short-term goals, they focus attention on those goals, exert effort, develop strategies, and persist in pursuit of the long-term goal”. (p. 986). By reaching my short-term goals I will continue to pursue reaching my goal of getting my BSN and I will improve myself personally including the lifestyle for myself and my family. In order for me to reach my goals I need to master...

...Greeks allowed all citizens, rich and poor, to participate in government. The Romans emphasis on the idealization of each individual is reflected in the art and architecture of these civilizations, beginning with Classical Athens. From 1900- 133 BC, Greece’s impact on the Western world is still in effect today. As the Greeks extended their empire, they spread their ideas to other countries, while also scrounging from other cultures. In Greek art, the focus is on an anatomically correct representation of the individual, either in an idealized fashion as during the Classical period, or a more emotionally truthful representation, as during the Hellenistic Period of Greek art. Roman art stole many of Greece's art and architecture, but Rome also added a customized deal to the architecture of the ancient world with its more evolved technical advancement, as evidenced in the Coliseum and its triumphal arches, they were dedicated to celebrating the glory of the state and the very human-like gods or goddesses and god-like humans. Thus, making the Romans; the greatest empire builders of the ancient Western world. The Greeks made many significant and enduring contributions to our modern culture, in government, art, architecture, philosophy, drama, math, and science. As a result these contributions led to significant ideas, inventions, and structures have had an astonishing influence on the future....

...does not improve each year such as directing a chunk of it’s funding to teacher development, giving students the option to transfer, changing it’s curriculum, or having the school shut down altogether. My claim is that we should adjust or amend the No Child Left Behind Act. No Child Left Behind’s attempt to narrow achievement gaps by ensuring that all children receive a quality education is admirable, but it is hardly realistic. Teachers would have to devote their entire time to teaching specifically just math and English. By doing that they block out any other subjects such as science, history, art, or any other important elective or subject. We should adjust the law by having less harsh punishments that way the students and teachers are not constantly stressing, and most importantly because we want to keep the students from doubting themselves academically. Some people may argue that 2 over time the achievement gap will close because we will have devoted enough time to math and English to prove that no child is getting left behind. I will address this concern by stating that we should not ban this law, just simply make simple yet extravagant changes such as fewer penalties, removing disabled children from the act, and including other subjects into the testing. With...

... M.D. Education System Characteristics One of the most difficult processes an undergraduate student can undergo is the application experience for medical school education. The requirements are difficult for a reason. Medical school education requires highly motivated individuals with highly intelligent academic capabilities and highly competitive personalities to survive the rigorous educational process. Admission into medical school may not technically require completion of a previous degree, but applicants are usually required to complete at least 3 years of "pre-med" courses at the university level because in the US medical degrees are classified as Second entry degrees. According to the American Medical Association, Over 133 M.D. education programs are available in the country. It also mentions Total active enrollment by US medical schools in 2009 was 77,722 and Nebraska accounted for 1,006 of the enrolled students. U.S. medical schools received 546,817 applications from 42,315 applicants, an average of 13 per applicant. There were also 31,946 first-time applicants. The average length in time in Medical school is composed of different factors. To become a certified practicing physician, a student must go through these states which have different time spans. The different states are Pre medical school (Pre-med), medical school, Internship, residency, fellowship and board certification. Pre medical school- students engage in activities that prepare them for medical...

...Abstract From time immemorial, the role of education has been to prepare individuals to contribute to the society, while also furthering their course. However, the disparity in the US education sector is preventing the system from meeting this key goal. Therefore, blended learning has been hailed as a possible answer to the current limitations of the current system. In this paper, the writer examines the current literature on blended instruction, its benefits, and challenges, as well as, the current evidence on its effectiveness. However, there is no conclusive evidence that blended learning is effective in promoting academic success. These results could be attributed to the lack of consensus on the actual definition of blended learning and its composition. However, the transition to blended learning is inevitable. The review concludes by examining how school administrators can adopt and promote change within their jurisdiction concerning the adoption of blended learning. Blended Learning: Possibilities, Challenges, and Embracing Change Introduction and Background Any education system has the purpose of preparing individuals to contribute to the society, while also allowing them to create desirable lives, either for their families or themselves. The world of work has evolved from an industrial orientation to an information age. Despite this evolution, the education sector has not evolved fast enough and is still operating under the same rules that...

...students lose up to 3 months worth of knowledge in reading and math during the summer months when they have no access to school. The US is one of a few developed nations with a short school calendar year of only 180 days. The biggest break in schooling comes during summer, an 11 week period that leaves plenty of time for students to forget what they have learned in school. A study titled “Summer Learning and its Implications: Insights from the Beginning School Study” tracked 790 students from different socioeconomic backgrounds as they moved from grades 1 through 9. Students were given a reading and math test twice a year to gauge the amount of progress they had from the following year. Figure 1, shown below, offers both startling and comforting conclusions. During the school year of grades 1-5, the low socioeconomic kids miraculously keep up with their wealthier peers. In year 5, the low socioeconomic children even beat their peers by a margin of 6 points. However, a closer look at the summer cumulative gains paints a grimmer picture. The better-off students achieve roughly 10 points of gains per summer, for a total of nearly 50 cumulative points by grade 5. The disadvantaged kids, however, actually lose some of what they learned during the year, each summer. Every August, after summer break, they are further and further behind their better-off peers. By the time these students begin high school, the students are full 133 points, or 1.3 standard deviations, behind their better-off...
