...When students are asked if college composition courses are helpful, the answer may not be on the good side. In Bergmann and Zepernick’s article, “Disciplinarity and Transfer Students’ Perceptions of Learning to Write’”, there were both positive responses and negative responses for composition courses. For example, “students tend to think of writing in English classes as personal and expressive rather than academic or professional” (Bergmann, Zepernick 129). It appears some students view the courses as something that they learn from expressing their own personal views onto a piece of paper. Furthermore, students “reported having gained much of their current writing ability in courses such as history, chemistry, or metallurgy” (Bergmann, Zepernick...

...Essential Skills Reflection Name Institution Essential Skills Reflection For a nurse, higher education at the University of West London (UWL) has offered me a broader knowledge base that I will be able to apply to improve nursing care outcomes concerning patient care, quality standards, and other nursing skills. In this respect, graduating from a nursing program will offer me the opportunity to be a better healthcare practitioner and work within teams for the best outcomes. In fact, the higher education knowledge base that I will acquire upon graduation will make me more attractive to employers. In this case, employers will trust me with more responsibilities since I will know more about the patients’ overall conditions, work independently with minimal supervision, actively engage teams, and even make leadership decisions with regards to the direction that the care plan will take (Oermann 2015). As a result, the higher education program for nurses will make me more attractive to employers and enable me to get jobs with more responsibilities, work independently with minimal supervision, work within teams, and occupy leadership positions that come with the duty of decision-making. I have embarked on many endeavours in my life, but I believe that attending higher education at UWL has been the most rewarding as well as challenging mission. Not only have I gained valuable academic knowledge, but I have also learnt communication skills and how to apply them for the best outcomes in...

...Lyle Russworm EN1420 Composition II Taking a Stand Analysis 5.1 Mr. Brown 2/15/16 The article “Student Effort in and Perceived Benefits from Undergraduate Research” by N. Salsman went into detail concerning a study that was led by students preforming research projects and how their research was beneficial to their overall learning experience. It specified that the longer students spent on a research assignment the more in depth and organizational sound the assignment became, while an assignment that had such a small amount of research involved was not as good. Students’ effort matters significantly when it comes to undergraduate research because of the quality of content that is presented in the final assignment. The results give to the body of literature by showing a positive relationship among student effort and benefits of a relationship between student effort and teacher effort was established. So the findings support the current trends of increased emphasis on undergraduate research across the board in higher education institutions, and suggest that heavy duty involvement may be most beneficial for students. There are many benefits associated with undergraduate research. The research experience extends beyond simply working in a laboratory, and also includes communicating the results ...

...On Becoming a Writer 1 On Becoming a Writer English Composition April 27, 2013 On Becoming a Writer 3 The main idea of the essay is the fact that the author always had the desire to be a writer but he was faced with the difficult of writing during his time at school, his English classes were very hard and confused. The others points I found on this essay is: * The author faced and thought that only the rich people could write and that being a writer as professional did not have a good future, but even that he had begun to think about being a writer. So in his third year at college things changed for him. * When his class assigned to Mr. Fleagle, he was waiting another sad and dull year because the Mr. Fleagle was recognized as a person with no inspiration, no glare, his way of dressing or even his physical characteristics made the students in the city do not have a good conception of Mr. Fleagle. * Another important point that the author cites in his essay is he was not disappointed for a long time, because he expected an antipathetic professor. Also he cites the teacher wanted his students to like Macbeth, but the teacher didn’t know how to influence the students’ whit that passion he had for Macbeth. The author makes a citation which one the teacher always used in the classroom and is very interesting “do not you see”, the author claims it as his teacher was placed in front of students in a tone of mild surprise ignorance of them. ...

...Analysis of Financial Statements (MBA) Project Instructions Project writing is not a difficult task at all. However, it is an art by which the writer represents his point of view in a way that it looks professional, clear and comprehensive, and finally leaves a long lasting impression on the reader. Ethics of project writings: Project writing has some ethics which must have to be followed by the writer in order to make a professional project. Emphasis on these ethics will make you learn how to write a project in a professional manner. Ethics of project writing include making a main page, writing a preface, giving an acknowledgement, making a table of contents, putting executive summary, giving an introduction to the project, mentioning the contents of the project, concluding it, including all the tables and annexure, and finally writing a bibliography. What this project involves: The idea is to concentrate on doing a full analysis of one firm. Since I suspect that you may have other courses or jobs, what is required here is somewhat less than a full analytical workup. You will be applying some of the financial principles we have discussed in class. A comprehensive outline is given below to make the project. 1. Select a company of your choice as a first step and apply principles that are mentioned below. (I understand that some data will not be available for the firms.

...education at schools in Eisenach, Ohrdruf, and Lüneburg. Bach's first permanent positions were as organist in Arnstadt (1703-1707) and Mühlhausen (1707-1708). During these years, he performed, composed taught, and developed an interest in organ building. From 1708-1717 he was employed by Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Weimar, first as court organist, and after 1714, as concertmaster. During this period, he composed many of his best organ compositions; in his capacity as concertmaster, he was also expected to produce a cantata each month. In Weimar, Bach's style was influenced by his study of numerous Italian compositions (especially Vivaldi concertos). Bach's next position, as Music Director for the Prince Leopold of Cüthen (1717-1723), involved entirely different activities. Since the court chapel was Calvinist, there was no need for church compositions; Bach probably used the Cüthen organs only for teaching and practice. His new works were primarily for instrumental solo or ensemble, to be used as court entertainment or for instruction. Among the important compositions at Cüthen were the Brandenburg Concertos, the first volume of Das wohltemperirte Clavier (The Well-Tempered Clavier), the "French" and "English" Suites for harpsichord (although the "English" Suites may be from the Weimar period), and most of the sonatas and suites for other instruments. Bach also composed a few cantatas for special occasions (birthdays and New Years). In 1723, Bach was appointed cantor at the St. Thomas Church...
