...Language Areas Difficulty of the College of Education Students of the University of San Jose-Recoletos: A Basis for Remedial Instruction _____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the College of Education University of San Jose-Recoletos _________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Bachelor in Secondary Education Major in English By: Albino, Rey Jee Dagunan, Maeflo Fariolen, Amilou Ace Saga, Alyanna Mae S.Y. 2014-2015 CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Rationale It is unquestionably that language plays a very important part in people’s learning process and of course, it can depict the line between excellence and mediocrity. Indeed, mastery of the field is needed and must be developed. Language, as a general thought has numerous definitions due to the fact that people would likely see things from various viewpoints. However, majority of the characterizations of language appears to be analogous with one another. Among the definitions, language is primarily a mental faculty that allows humans to undertake linguistic behavior: to learn languages and to produce and understand utterances (Haser and Fitch 2003). Furthermore, language is seen as a formal system of signs governed by grammatical rules of combination to communicate meaning (Trask, 2007). This definition stresses that human languages can be described as closed structural systems consisting of rules that relate particular signs to particular...

...Problem Statement We hay bales in pairs to find equals of 80, 82, 83 ,84 ,85, 86, 87, 88, 90, and 91. Is there more than one answer to this problem. Process So far I was able to have bales like “bales 2 and 3” I was able to get 10 different kinds. Also since there are 10 different numbers two it would make sense. The different bales were 1 and 2, 1 and 3, 1 and 4, 1 and 5, 2 and 3, 2 and 4, 2 and 5, 3 and 4, 3 and 5, and for last 4 and 5. I was able to get this because at the beginning it showed the those numbers to 2 and 4. Then it said so on. I also wondered why they stopped at five in the second number. So I did keep going on and found ten groups of numbers. Which were going with the total numbers that were ten. The numbers were 80, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90,91. In total there were ten numbers in all. Just like those groups of numbers. I haven’t found the total of the groups with the total numbers but I know they have a connection in some way. Like I talked about in the beginning. Those groups of numbers the first one the 1 didn’t go with another one. So it would do for the other ones like it showed for number 2. “2 and 3” It started with the twos not 2 and 1. I also made a little chart on my paper to see what will go with what. 82= A and C 83= A and D 84= B and C 85= A and D 86= A and E 87= C and D 88= B and E 90= C and E I didn’t get the true answer on my own. Our class worked together. Solution 39=A 41=B 43=C 44=D 47=E 1,2,3…. order 1 A+B=80 2 A+C=82 3 A+D=83 4 B+C=84...

...„Describe two ways in which teamwork can be beneficial to organisations and two reasons why it can be difficult for individuals to work in teams”. Teamwork is one of the major factors that affect an organisation’s success and it can prove to be beneficial but it can also become a difficult aspect to manage within a company. According to Cohen and Bailey (1977:241), „a team is a collection of individuals who are interdependent in their tasks, who share responsibility for outcomes, who see themselves and who are seen by others as an intact social entity embedded in one or more larger social systems..”. The previous definition is pointing out the aspects of teamwork, which appear to be mutual reliance, interdependence and sense of responsibility that members feel when collaborating. Based on the previous theory, numerous benefits of teamwork can be underlined. One of the most important advantages that teamwork brings within an organisation is efficiency. According to Procter and Mueller (2000), it has been debated by supporters that it offers a more productive, creative, satisfying and empowering way of working. The efficiency of teamwork can also be highlighted from the book „Organizational Behaviour” by Daniel King and Scott Lawley, OUP 2013(page 165, Table 6.7), in which benefits like reduced dependency on particular individuals, faster decision making, increased time utilization and task requirements are considered benefits of teamwork. Another major benefit for...

...Suggested Practice Problems from “Introduction to Organic Chemistry, 5th Ed.” The following problems are not intended for marks, but are highly recommended as a source of practice for you in preparation for the midterms and final exam, as many of your exam questions will follow a similar format. Also, keep in mind that as you progress in the questions for each chapter, so will the level of difficulty – DON’T get frustrated if you have to try the last questions of the chapter a few times to get it. Even though the answers can be found in the corresponding solutions manual, I strongly suggest that you attempt to work through these problems prior to consulting the answer guides. In my experience, the best way to succeed at organic chemistry is to practice, practice, practice! Memorization will not work and will soon become overwhelming. Do not try to do these all at once; the best plan of attack is to set aside an hour or two each week to work on these. If you grasp the concepts of this material, it will make for much easier problem solving in this course. If you have any difficulties or the answers are not clear (the same applies to anything in this course), do not hesitate to contact me at ghallett@stfx.ca or drop by my office (PSC 3025).

Later after gaining knowledge about Publisher we started to design our poster. At first we tried to make a good background for the poster and no one was satisfied with the background what came up with the publisher. We then tried to make a background which was designed by the Toshiba. Even then we faced a difficulty in making that as background. We got a background were we had Toshiba logo in the centre and bigger arrows on each side. We wanted to remove those arrows and leave the background all alone with the Toshiba’s logo. We tried to remove in publisher but we couldn’t do it without disturbing the background texture. So we came to a decision to use Photoshop to remove the arrows alone. We found most of the Photoshop tools are similar to the tools present in publisher so that didn’t bring many difficulties in...

...members Yusin Zhang, Thong Clus Ngo Overview The proposed project is developing a rhythm game. This game does not exist and at the end of design and development process, it will be fully complete and playable. The game involves different notes which will be falling down from the screen with random letter on it. The player is expected to hit the note with the right key to follow the song with the music playing in the background. The sequence dictated and displayed on the screen must be followed. Correctness in hitting the notes translates to an increased player’s score. Vorderer & Bryant (2012) suggests that games should have different difficulty levels. How good is the player at learning a rhythm? This game will be a real fun as players will try harder to catch a rhythm to feel comfortable that they can try the next level of difficulty. There will be rewards as well as punishment while the player is still playing so as to stimulate the player. The motive of the game is to challenge and test the player’s sense and level of rhythm. This game will be based on the following elements and fiction: test of skill, the utilization of the aspect of timing, loss of points if the player opts to skip a note, tendency of repetition of a song and featuring a rhythm severally in one song. The fundamental fiction in this game is the falling of notes on the screen in relation to expected key presses. Every video game involves user interaction with a human interface to come up with visual...

...DIFFICULTIES IN LISTENING COMPREHENSION OF THIRD YEAR ENGLISH MAJOR STUDENTS Jano, Jobelle A. Major in English Abstract Language learners face difficulties when listening to the second language. Nevertheless, the types and the extent of difficulties differ. This paper attempts to investigate listening difficulties encountered by 45 third year English major students from the College of Education. Data was gathered by means of questionnaires. The study has revealed a fairly clear picture of the students’ problems and difficulties when it comes to listening comprehension that stem from a cluster of factors that characterize the lecture mode of information transmission. Understanding students’ learning difficulties enables teachers to help students develop effective learning strategies and ultimately improve their English listening abilities. Keywords Listening- listening is the ability to identify and understand what others are saying. This process involves understanding a speaker's accent or pronunciation, the speaker’s grammar and vocabulary, and comprehension of meaning. Listening comprehension- regarded as a complex, interactive process in which listeners are involved in a dynamic construction of meaning. Listeners understand the oral input from sound discrimination, prior knowledge of vocabulary, grammatical structures, stress and intonation, as well as other use linguistic, paralinguistic, or even non-linguistic clues in contextual utterance Listening problems-...

INTRODUCTION Accounting is concerned with collecting, analyzing, recording, and summarizing financial information. The purpose is to help people who used this information to make more informed and good decisions. One of the mistakes that many people have thought about accounting is that you have to be very strong in math. We tend to think that it is more about logic and analytical reasoning. You need to learn a lot of rules and make something fits the rules. It is considered a difficult major. Everyone has heard that accounting is all about numbers or being good in math to take accounting. Unfortunately, for many people, just mentioning the word "math" can turned off their interest in accounting and can bring back childhood memories of them having difficulties with long division and fractions or geometry homework, and later avoiding math...

The school will support Gemma to empower her to cope with her emotions; such support enables them to see themselves as they are now highly competent. Examples of this could be, “You can do it! I believe in you”. Words of encouragement will make all the difference. * Hearing impairment will have difficulties to hear leading to noise distorted sound causing poor ill ears, this is why a hearing aid will benefit and help Gemma. The effects of this barrier to communication can cause difficulty on following what has been said. * Gemma may also be empowered through environmental barriers. This could be things such as lighting if poor quality prevents lip reading and other messages being picked up which could leave Gemma with a negative attitude, feeling isolated and left out. Also another effect caused by an environmental factor could be that if you seat Gemma too far away from the front then this could affect her quality of hearing. To prevent isolation and difficulties you can try regrouping the seating so that she will be able to hear clearly and if she is...

...Master of Computer Application, VJTI Mumbai, India shaguftarjpt673@gmail.com Aditi Nehete Department of Computer Technology, VJTI Mumbai, India aditinehete@gmail.com Abstract — In this paper, we describe a User profiling based ELearning System with Adaptive Test Generation and Assessment. This system uses rule-based Intelligence Technique and implicit User Profiling to judge the proficiency level of the student and generates tests for them accordingly. More specifically it’s a Test Generation, Assessment and Remedial System where the student can give a test after he has completed studying a particular concept where the difficulty level of the test will be decided by the expert system engine. After the completion of the test, the system helps the student in improving the proficiency of the concept either if it is expected by the concept or if he faces difficulty in understanding the concept. Based on the type of errors made in the test, the Test Remedial System will help the student to improve in that domain of understanding of the concept. Every phase transition is rule-based which considers the user’s profile and the concept importance to make sure that he does well where it is required. Preliminary Experimental Implementations show that with User Profiling we can reduce the amount of efforts required by the user to clear a concept. Moreover, with test remedial we assure that the user actually covers all erroneous domains under a particular concept depending on its importance...
