...The One Minute Manager Reaction Paper The One Minute Manager provides a concise and simple method for planning, coaching and evaluating people for organizational and personal success. For many, the book sets forth the principles for productive relationships between a manager and his or her associates. There are three different methods portrayed that will help employers and employees find such a relationship. The first is One Minute Goal Setting. The second is One Minute Praising. Lastly, the book suggests One Minute Reprimands. With these work ethics in practice, a friendly, more productive work place results for everyone. These three ideas will help simplify life, increase productivity, reduce stress and help the reader find peace of mind. One minute goals, one minute praising and one minute reprimands are ideas that if used effectively can help to increase ones success in life. These are the three different methods in One Minute Manager. The first one is the one minute goal is about being aware of what is expected from the beginning. It is recorded on a single sheet of paper and should only take one minute to read it. It can help your staff to produce efficient results. The second step in one minute management is to catch people doing something right or the one minute praising. It hardly takes a minute for you to tell someone that he or she did a good job. One minute praisings include praising the people immediately, telling them what they did right, how you feel about...

...Where do I see myself in the future? The way I see myself in the future is not something I often think about. To tell you the truth, it scares me a little to know that in one short decade I will be thirty- one years old, and that my years of youth are coming to an end. However, thinking about this question gave me a chance to analyse my goals and ambitions. I am a simple individual that have big dreams in life. In many years from now, I believe I am able to achieve the three most basic things in life which are family, love and a satisfaction career. A vision I’ve always had of myself years ahead from now is a wealthy business woman that owns a coffee shop. Instead of having my coffee shop on the main street, my coffee shop would tuck away from main street which is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I hope to provide a comfy environment which my customer could truly relax themselves and enjoy their coffee. The interior of my coffee shop has custom mural and exposed brick walls which create a warm atmosphere. Reclaimed woods were used for the bars, tables and condiment stations. Some good oldies song will be played as background music hovering around the shop and the level of its volume is just moderate. It will be wonderfully set up while being photogenic at the same time. I’ve picture myself sitting on the cashier of my coffee shop welcoming every customers with warm greeting. Besides that, I will place a variety of books in the shop and customers are welcome to...

...the quality of papers that are made of durian rinds, pineapple leaves and cogon grass combined with recycled papers based on the absorption of water. Research Background During the durian season, durian rinds accumulate in high piles as vendors usually remove the rinds for buyers' convenience. In addition to ripe durian rind, raw durian rinds are also left unattended after the flesh has been removed for processing as deep-fried durian. Rinds are considered as good for organic fertilizer, or firewood, but they are not easily disposed off. While Cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) has become a major problem for landowners, land managers, foresters, and governmental agencies. This type of plant grows very fast and considered as one of the world's 10 worst weeds and has invaded every continent except Antarctica. Research question Which type of recycle materials absorb water most in 2 minutes. Hypothesis Durian rinds mixed with recycle paper absorb water most. Variables Independent variable: Different types of recycle material; cogon grass + recycled paper, durian rind + recycled paper, pineapple leaves + recycled paper, cogon grass + durian rinds + pineapple leaves + recycled paper Dependent variable: The volume of water absorbed Fixed variable: same mass of recycle material, same initial volume of water, fixed time duration. Methodology: To make paper from durian rinds, cogon grass and pineapple leaves added with recycled paper 1. Wash durian...

...Assessment Techniques-One Minute Paper Kendra Strenth Samford University Classroom Assessment Techniques-One Minute Paper Classroom assessment techniques (CAT’s) are assessments conducted in the classroom to assess student learning. This type of assessment helps identify progress of the student and also identify areas that may need improvement. All types of CAT’s are to help facilitate the learning environment (Rowles, 2009). CAT’s are a formative type of assessment which involves immediate interaction between the instructor and student. They are used to assess students’ learning, attitudes, study habits, response to classroom teaching strategies and to help the instructor plan for future teaching strategies and concepts (Rowles, 2009). There are three phases to developing and using CAT’s. The first phase involves the planning phase: determining what setting it will be used in, what information will be obtained and what CAT will be used. The second phase is the actual implementation of the CAT. The final stage involves the results and responding to the CAT. The instructor should review the results and report the finding to the class and reflect on the CAT to identify if it accomplished the goal of the first phase (Rowles, 2009). I chose to evaluate the One-Minute Paper CAT. The One-Minute-Paper has been used the most and is a quick and easy way to assess classroom teaching and learning (Angelo & Cross, 1993). To use the One-Minute Paper, the instructor ask...

...techniques and tools provided over the course of the semester. The juniors met every Tuesday and the seniors meet every Thursday except when school was not in session. This round of stress application consisted of holding the students accountable for trying the techniques. Implementation occurred weekly from two minutes up to 15 minutes per class session. At the beginning of each class a formative assessment was completed by the athletic training students. The formative assessment took the form of a minute paper (see Appendix F). According to Angelo and Cross (1993) the minute paper is a form of classroom assessment. The intent of the assessment was to gain insight from the students in order to configure a technique or tool that assisted the athletic training students the most. The information gathered was to assist the researcher in answering the second research questions: What stress reduction techniques did the athletic training students report most useful? The subsequent schedule was followed. Week one was an introduction to the extension of the study started the previous semester, the administration of the...

...8 Week Treatment Plan using Expressive Group Therapy working with children who struggle with insecure attachment. What does insecure attachment look like? Attachment can be defined as “an emotional tie with another person, shown in young children by seeking closeness to the caregiver and showing distress on separation” (Myers, 1998). Early bonding experiences have a significant impact on the developing child and achieving a positive bond is essential to the child’s overall well being later in life. The relationship formed between caregiver and child acts as a template for all subsequent relationships. There are four different patterns of response that are considered to be indicative of child attachment to an adult caregiver; secure, insecure-avoidant, insecure-resistant/ambivalent or disorganized /disoriented. Theorist such as John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth and Erik Erikson proposed that during the 1st year of life a working model is forged based on the caregiver/child relationship and lays the groundwork for future interactions. If the child is unable to form a secure attachment to his or her caregiver it can result in problems such as, relating to people, problems accepting care, problems with transitions, lack of conscience, emotional immaturity, and problems with trust and self-esteem. Children who have been severely maltreated, abandoned, raised in orphanages or placed in multiple foster homes exhibit...

...Design 2 Question: Which paper towel absorbs water the most? Personal Relevancy and Description of subject area: Paper towels are very useful when it comes to cleaning up spills. In addition, paper towels can be used to dry hands, wipe tables, and etc. (Paper towels) There are so many uses for paper towels that Americans last year “spent nearly $2.3 billion on paper towels” (Wilbert, 2003). The reason why Americans prefer paper towels than cloth towels is because they can be thrown away, unfortunately “sending 3000 tons of paper towels to landfills each day” (Wilbert, 2003). Imagine how many trees were cut down to meet consumer needs. According to the Business and the Environment, “270,000,000 trees are flushed down or thrown into the garbage” (2006). As a teacher, I want to teach my students to be more eco-friendly and to save money. Students have a tendency to overuse paper towels and waste not only money spent on paper towels, but also trees that were cut down to make paper towels. I want to show them how much paper towels they really need by doing an experiment of which paper towel absorbs water the most. Also, this experiment will show them that the most absorbent paper towel will hold enough water without over using it in a minor spill. Hypothesis: Bounty paper towels will absorb more volume of water, then other brands of paper towels in a time frame on one minute. Variables: Independent Variable: Three different types of 27.9x22.3 cm paper towel sheets will be tested...

Furthermore, the right side of the body is controlled by the left-brain while the left side of the body is controlled by the right brain. A thick band of nerves called the corpus callosum is the connection between the two hemispheres (Hockenbury & Hockenbury, 2012). Methods such as functional brain imaging using PET scans, for instance, are beneficial for recording brain activity while a participant is performing a particular task. To gain insight of the brain’s function of each hemisphere, the following study was conducted. As a control, the participant was asked to tap a pencil on a fresh sheet of paper using the right hand, and...

...Required: 15-30 minutes Start out by having every team member secretly write down two truths about themselves and one lie on a small piece of paper – Do not reveal to anyone what you wrote down! Once each person has completed this step, allow 10-15 minutes for open conversation – much like a cocktail party – where everyone quizzes each other on their three questions. The idea is to convince others that your lie is actually a truth, while on the other hand, you try to guess other people‟s truths/lies by asking them questions. Don‟t reveal your truths or lie to anyone – even if the majority of the office already has it figured out! After the conversational period, gather in a circle and one by one repeat each one of your three statements and have the group vote on which one they think is the lie. You can play this game competitively and award points for each lie you guess or for stumping other players on your own lie. This game helps to encourage better communication in the office, as well as it lets you get to know your coworkers better. The One Question Ice Breaker Exercise Time Required: 15-20 minutes This icebreaker not only gets coworkers talking to each other, but it also gets them working with one another. It‟s quite simple: the leader gets to decide the situation the question will pertain to. Example situations include babysitting, leading the company, or being married. After pairing participants into teams, the leader will pose this question: If you could ask just one question...

...in order to examine ways in which a potato catalase enzyme reacts to various assays with differing variables. To do so a baseline assay (undiluted extract and room temperature H2O2) was used within the experiment with only one other variable changed in the other assays. These variables included a boiled, frozen and then thawed, and frozen potato extract and dH2O instead of the potato extract. It was noted that the temperature and or way the potato extract was prepared effects how the enzyme with the potato will react. Therefore the results of each assay varied, suggesting there is more than one way that a catalyzed reaction can occur. Introduction: (Burmania) The main purpose for this experiment was to explore how an enzyme catalase caused a reaction to catalyze through doing various assays using potato extracts. Enzymes are catalysts that are crucial in helping to speed up reactions, and catalase is a common enzyme found in almost every living organism that is exposed to oxygen. For this experiment, potatoes were used because they were previously known to have significant catalase activity. The potato catalase was mixed with hydrogen peroxide because the catalase helps to breakdown the hydrogen peroxide which helps determine how long a paper disk takes to float to the surface, which in return provides the time of the complete reaction. Since various assays were mostly used in combination with the potato extract, the extract should aid in speeding up the reactions...

Note the comments along the left side of the paper that point out some of the expectations of the assignment. Abstract Assessment tools are used in classrooms, by teachers, to help them learn the many student differences. It is important for teachers to discover the different interests, ability/intellectual levels, achievement levels, and personality types of students so that they can effectively instruct students accordingly. Some assessment tools (tests) that have been found to help teachers discover these differences are Student Interest Survey for Career Clusters, Brigance Early Childhood Screen II K & 1, Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, TerraNova/Cat 6 Test, and Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory. Interests 1. The Student Interest Survey for Career Clusters is a survey that is used for those exploring careers, or can be used by students for educational purposes only. The survey assesses students on their interests by having them answer questions by circling any and all of the given choices that best describe the student. This survey is fairly extensive, as the same 3 questions are asked 16 different times, but the list of answer choices...
