...is the person who dominates the entire class and has absolute authority. The students are the audience – they cannot have their own opinions but recenive their teachers’ “narration.” It is not difficult to imagine the scene: students like bank accounts and teachers “deposit” knowledge in these accounts, whether the students are willing or not. This is how Freire describes the “banking” model of education. In the following paragraph, I’m going to further discuss “banking” education according to my partner Yang’s experience. In today’s China, the “banking” model of education is a phenomenon. One can observe it almost in every school, no matter what kind of school. They all operate in the same mode: teachers elaborate how to solve typical problems to their students and leave them a lot of homework, then check their homework and help them to correct their errors. Everything is proposed by the teacher, and students are discouraged from thinking critically or questioning about what teacher taught them. If a student puts forward a novel idea or has a question about the class, it may provoke the teacher to think of the students as “naughty”, disturbing the atmosphere of the class and “humiliating” the teacher. Here’s an example from my partner: When I was in primary school, I was curious about everything and I always asked the questions. After...

...Develop A Research Strategy Gen/200 Date Instructor How To Develop A Research Strategy In this paper I have identified a problem I face in my day-to-day life, which is time management. I will discuss how to develop a research strategy to find a solution to my time management problem and include what information should be gathered, where the information can be obtained, how I evaluate the information that I gather, and explain how I will use the information to resolve the problem. Briefly Describe Problem One big problem I notice in my day-to-day life is the feeling like there isn’t enough time in the day to accomplish all the things I want to finish. At least not without some short cuts, or not giving a task the full attention it requires. On top of my already busy schedule, I decided to go back to school. This means managing my time properly is going to have to be priority number one. A lot of times, for me, time management means to just do less during a day or whatever the span of time is. Sometimes just doing less isn’t an option, for those times, it is going to be good to know other strategies to help me make more effective use of my time. Identify What Type of Information To Gather In order to find ways for me to improve my time management skills I need to gather information such as research and studies that have been done to help university students. For even more specific information I can search for articles, peer-reviewed papers, and primary...

...MBA-Essay Sample：SAMPLE REFLECTION PAPER(2012-06-22 17:52:41)转载▼标签： mba-essaysamplereflectionpaper财经 分类： DIY留学PS/Essay/简历/推荐信 MBA-Essay Sample：SAMPLE REFLECTION PAPER (submitted by a student in CRIM 1006E, Fall term 2003) Mark: 4/5 Please NOTE: This paper is presented as a model based on the way the author began the inquiry, (i.e. narrowing the reflection by posing a question and focusing on it). There are areas for improvement in the piece (e.g. carrying through with the author's initially posed question; focusing more critically on Bodi's argument and/or her responses to this author's comments), however, it is offered as a formidable example of how to initially tackle a critically reflective piece by focusing on only one point, argument, (or in this case, sentence). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I found the article written by Sonia Bodi was very informative and interesting. Although many of the ideas she presented I agreed with, there were also a few points that I'd like to argue against. First I would like to answer the question that was proposed in the title of this article: How do we bridge the gap between what we ( professors) teach and what they ( students) do? To fill in that gap, both sides need to work together. Students need to push themselves to expand their knowledge and help themselves become more inquisitive, critical, and reflective. Professors, on the other hand, should push and...

...Study Sexual advertising is a statement that has proved itself since the 1900s Sexual imagery or the depiction of semi-nude models or the posing of sexual innuendos are widely used in the advertising industry today. It is common for one person to see a sexual ad everywhere they go. Erotic imagery is used because it catches the viewer’s attention. “The idea of commercial advertising is pretty simple: people see, listen to or read an advertisement. They recall the brand, its strap-line and the product. They later recognize the products in shops, on the web or elsewhere and buy it. They trust products more that have been advertised. Good ads lead to great sales.” (Furnham, 2013). Basically, advertising is all about making people “see” what they need to see and “hear” what they need to hear. The big question is, how do they make people notice? There is a fine line between sexy and pornographic. What advertisers tend to overdo, is the way they portray sexiness in their ads. Most of the time, sexiness is presented through dominance either from the man or from the woman. Along with dominance, sexual ads uses implications to further tease the viewer’s imagination creating a lasting effect on the person’s memory. This can also be enhanced with suggestive images, lighting, music, romantic locations, etc. B. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study aims to find out the effects of sexual incorporated advertisements in a reserved country like the Philippines; it seeks to answer...

...Cloning Essay, Research Paper A Solution to the Problem: Governmental Banning of Human Cloning Governmental Banning on human and organ cloning is posing a problem on those educated ones in academia. Researcher and scientist Dr. Ian Wilmut has successfully cloned a sheep, and has gathered from this experiment evidence that strongly proves that human and organ cloning could be performed ? safely and effectively. Unfortunately, our government has almost immediately banned such cloning in this country. Did they realize the benefits of such a discovery? Perhaps they simply believe that it is some sort of unethical, immoral experiment that is not beneficial to our society. Perhaps they should take a closer look at exactly what these researchers have derived from years of experimenting. In this paper, I will propose a possible plan to persuade our government to take another look at human and organ cloning. Many positive benefits could come out of this, and it is our responsibility, for the sake of a healthier future, to push policy makers to change their minds and loosen their grips on such a banning. Cloning of various organisms has been going on for years. This concept of cloning was conceived in 1938, but it was not until 1994 that a method using an embryo was used to clone a cow (Business Week). Much to many people?s surprise, the idea of cloning humans is not an aged concept. It is fairly new, but that hardly means that the amount, or rather quality, of research to support...

...Conflict Between Research and Ethics Paper Conflict Between Research and Ethics Paper HCS/435 Katherine Rossiter September 12, 2010 Conflict Between Research and Ethics Paper This paper will share an opinion of the conflicts that exist between medical research and ethics in the subject matter of patients with mental retardation with medical condition such as hepatitis. In this paper the discussion of patient consent, benefits to patient, society, and medical professionals; therapeutic research; and research outcomes. Also this paper will discuss the potential role of institutional compliance and ethics committees, potential responsibilities of management, and the managerial approach one might have taken if one were in a position of power. When talking about patient consent there is many different types of consent. To name a few types of consent, incapacitated, decision-making capacity, surrogate healthcare decision maker, informed consent, expressed consent, and implied consent. When dealing with incapacitated consent this means that the patient is lacking the ability to make a reasonable medical judgment. In this type of consent there would be a surrogate decision maker appointed. Also in an incapacitated patient that has come in from an accident there would be an implied consent this would mean that the hospital staff would do whatever they had to do to sustain life. Decision-making capacity is one where the patient has full knowledge of what they want to be...

...topics in mathematics are often presented within a very verbal classroom environment. Solution methods are commonly presented in a stepwise process and build on previous knowledge. Visual-spatial learners identify with the presentation of an entire idea over a sum of its parts, and so adapting instructional methods with these learners in mind can help contribute to their success. VSLs also value seeing over listening, and actively create visual images when processing speech, so when only auditory queues are available, using very descriptive language is helpful. (Dixon, 1983) Various higher order outcomes revolve around problem solving, which can be a difficult task for anyone facing learning challenges, but for visual learners spatial reasoning can be used to their advantage. Presenting problems in two or three dimensions can allow students to visualize the problem in real space. Using physical manipulative, such as a mira for geometric reflections or algebra tiles for polynomial representations, provide concrete benefits. Pattern seeking and functional reasoning can be native skills in VSLs, so emphasis on graphing functions over strict numerical expressions can provide more meaningful insight into mathematical expressions. However, monotonous tasks like plotting ordered pairs will cause these students to struggle. Implementing graphing software such as Mathematica or Maple into the classroom can automate this process and allow students almost instantaneous feedback on data sets...

...Preparing to Conduct Business Research Charles Page and Brandy Stiffler February 25, 2013 RES 351 Abdulhamid Sukar Preparing to Conduct Business Research Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that builds homes for underprivileged families around the world. The foundation was started in 1968 and over the years has helped build or repair nearly 600,000 homes around the world. They also originate and keep all of the home loans on their own books. In recent years they have come under scrutiny because of the numerous foreclosures that their borrowers have suffered. Research Questions When doing research on Habitat for Humanity and their financial structure, a few interesting questions arise. What are the problems with Habitat for Humanity’s financial structure? How can they improve on their lending techniques? Are they helping or hurting the people they donate the homes to? Figuring out why the borrowers are having trouble with their loans will help determine if Habitat for Humanity is actually helping or hurting their communities they’re working in. Researching these financial questions will enable borrowers and volunteers to be make informed decisions when deciding to either take a loan from Habitat for Humanity or volunteer their time and money. Hypothesis After posing the research questions, the hypotheses take form in order to give possible explanations to the questions being asked. For the questions we posed earlier, possible hypothesis include...

...Biology Semester 1 Research Project Cellular Process Meagan Baggett 4th Period The endosymbiotic theory explains how eukaryotic cells may have evolved from prokaryotic cells. Symbiosis is a close relationship between two different organisms. The discovery of the endosymbiotic theory took hundreds of years to be considered as real and was eventually it was finalized. The endosymbiotic theory is believed to be first introduced and described by Andreas Schimper in 1883. Schimper was a German botanist and phytogeographer. He was born on May 12, 1856 and he passed away on September 9, 1901, at the age of forty-five.

...Long-Term Care Nursing research is critical to the nursing profession and is important for promoting optimal nursing care based on the latest research findings. Critiquing research reports is important because it promotes a complete examination of the study that allows the critique to judge its strengths, weaknesses, logical relationships, meanings, and significance of the findings. The purpose of this paper is to provide an objective critique of the research report “Identifying barriers to pain management in long-term care” with a focus on five dimensions: substantive and theoretical dimension, methodological dimension, ethical dimension, interpretive dimension, and presentation and stylistic dimension. Title The title of this report was appropriate and clear. It communicated the research problem (identifying barriers to pain management) and the study population (long term care residents).The information was conveyed in only nine words communicating the independent variable (the barriers), the dependent variable (pain management), and the study population (residents with chronic pain in long term care facilities). It could be argued that something about the health-related quality of life should have been included in the title making it a little bit longer but more explicit. Abstract The abstract written with subheadings was excellent, summarizing the major features of the study. It presented the aim of the study, the methods used to address the problem, the result of the...

...interesting mix of hope, challenges and threats at the national, bilateral and regional levels. Besides, with the ongoing economic integration and political and security cooperation with regional powers, the regional organization-ASEAN seeks to balance these relations with the proliferation of new powers. The Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies (IPCS), as an independent research institute and a leading think-tank, explores what is happening in Southeast Asia today. The Southeast Asia Research Programme (SEARP) at the Institute monitors these internal issues in the region on a regular basis and further intends to convert the process into a annual meet to understand the dynamics of the current issues, challenges and problems in Southeast Asia. Three themes have been identified in the region which need immediate attention– Internal political challenges, inter-state conflicts and ASEAN and regional security. Theme-I Internal Political Challenges The primary security concerns confronting Southeast Asia have always been internal in nature. Many security problems in this region have stemmed from its internal strife, posing the greatest obstacle to Southeast Asian integration and development. With political and social diversity, internal conflicts continue to afflict the region and pose a serious challenge not only to the sovereignty and territorial integrity...

...accounting as taught at universities. Although there has been significant research conducted to improve the education of accounting as a principle, the facet that has long been ignored is teaching the subject in preparation for realistic career expectations instead of meeting obsolete standards. A point of emphasis is the hands-on experience that students in the field experience prior to graduation: are they truly grasping an understanding on what the responsibilities of accountants entail? Reading a driving manual is no doubt important, but it is not until the individual gets behind the wheel that the actual learning takes place; everything else that was read is merely memory. This research paper will explain why it is important for universities to develop a more precise curriculum for accounting that provide students with the background needed to begin their careers and stress the importance, of and assess the impact, of a hands-on working experience prior to graduation. Accounting as currently taught at Universities There is no comparison in the methodologies of teaching accounting – a technical subject – with other subjects such as history or philosophy. These subjects teach what is fact and many of the concepts have largely remained static. On the other hand, the field of accounting develops on a continuing basis. The Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) implements new updates (ASUs) as problems arise –...

...Prescription medication abuse James Glassman COM/172 December 22, 2011 University of Phoenix Sheila Bassoppo-Moyo, Ed.D. Prescription medication abuse In this research paper you will find that obtaining prescription medication is easier than going to find illegal drugs. Another, disturbing problem is the amount of deaths in the United States each year caused by the abuse of prescription medication. Some questions you might find yourself asking are why is this a problem, how can we resolve this problem, what are some long term effects from abuse of prescription medication, and what is the government planning to do to help resolve this issue? In recent years the abuse with prescription medications has come to a ridiculous number in the last decade across the world. I hope this paper helps you understand the significance of this worldwide problem. What is prescription medication abuse? Prescription medication abuse is when someone takes medication prescribed by doctor in a manner or dosage other than prescribed, or when someone takes prescription medication from somebody else and uses it in a manner or dosage other than prescribed (na, 2011). Abuse can include taking a friends or relatives’ prescription to get high, to relieve pain, or help with medical issue without seeing a physician. There is a reason why prescription medications are prescribed by a doctor, prescription medications are dangerous when taken with other medications or not taken properly. In many cases...
