...* Module/Week 1 Lecture Notes * Topic: Why Management of Information Systems (MIS) Welcome to the introductory course in the Management Information Systems program. Whether you are taking course as a Business Elective or your required BMIS core, you may find, as the text author states, “Introduction to MIS is the most important class in the business school.” I must agree. An understanding of how Information Systems support a business by helping to build competitive advantage is critical to everyone in today’s technology driven, global business environments. In this module/week, you will be learning about four nonroutine critical skills that make MIS professionals some of the most valuable employees a business has. These four skills are: Abstract Reasoning, Systems Thinking, Collaboration, and Ability to Experiment. Don’t panic at this point thinking you don’t have these skills. Over the period of your BMIS program you will learn these skills. It just happens often without you knowing it. MIS professionals are different than other people. We bridge the gap between technologist (who speak “technobabble”), and users (who speak “businobabble”). That gap widens at a rapid rate, so prepare yourselves for a wild ride. Additionally, this module/week introduces the five-component Information Systems Framework. This provides your first step in learning about Abstract Reasoning and Systems Thinking. It puts information into a “model” (Abstract Reasoning) that helps...

...TITLE: Study Approach: PAMANTANSAN NG LUNSOD NG MAYNILA CS THIRD YEAR BIOLOGY STUDENTS A. Background of the Study BS Biology students have the burden of memorizing technical/scientific terms, different defining characteristics of representative species from different phyla, long and confusing life cycles of different organisms and such. Many have failed in recalling key details and important information during examinations and majority of that is because of the technicality of the information they need to digest. The change made by the new administration of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila regarding the grading system has motivated the students to study harder to acquire the maintaining grade or to get a higher one. This has driven students to create their own techniques regarding memorizing or understanding overwhelming information and data. In the case of the BS Biology students in PLM, they deal with scientific terminologies, numerous characteristics of different organisms and the like which are hard to put in mind. Different techniques are being used to make the students remember as many information as possible. To make the future students acquire needed values, viewpoints, strategies and forms of knowledge to live creatively in the world of future, new trends in educational area have been needed(Koutselini, 1997). For that reason, together with these new ideas and triggered by the changes in educational arena, various approaches, theories, and trends have appeared...

...ARE THERE MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES DANA CHATMAN Student #21838383 Submitted for SSC130BB: Essentials Psychology August 25, 2013 Research project #05020500 Introduction: I have chosen to discuss about in this paper is the impact of different learning style with” multiple intelligences”. In the article, "The Foundations of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences", by Thomas Armstrong, he explains the creation of multiple intelligence theory. The first intelligence test (or IQ) was established by (Alfred Binet, a French psychologist, in relevance for failing students to succeed in college. After eighty years had passed another psychologist, Howard Gardner, begin to debate the thoughts and perceptions of Alfred Binet and redefine the intelligence test into seven specific areas of life. Linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal were the seven main views of the IQ test that test the level of understanding for each person. In addition to this, all of these seven areas were not meant for everybody to excel in or to understand. Intelligences were sometimes used together to complete one task such as washing clothes. First you have to a visual amount of clothes that can fit into the washer and use a certain amount of muscle to lift the clothes and also measure out the exact amount of liquid needed to clean all of the clothes. In one way or another, everybody has the seven intelligences but may have their own levels...
