...As am active student at Ashford University, there have been a few things I have noticed as a student that could potentially make not only my schooling better, but all other students’ better. I am an online student, and as an online student it is at times difficult to fully grasp concepts that are being taught that particular week in class. I am not saying that there are not classes like this at Ashford, but I believe that if Ashford employed their instructors to create more immersive and or more visual assignments there would be a greater chance for students to succeed in their pursuit of higher education. I understand that writing essays are a part of the processes of teaching, but when that’s all students are required to perform, in my belief, it takes away from the affirmation of what we are learning or have been taught . As a visual learner it is difficult at times to fully grasp all the concepts that are being presented to me. Out of the year and a half I have attended Ashford University, there has only been one class that the assignment was immersive and visual that helped put in to action what was being taught in that class. An article from the New York Times about Ashford, “Of the students who enrolled in 2008-9, for example, 84 percent in the associate degree programs were gone by September 2010 (63 percent had left the bachelor’s programs)”. The question that Ashford should be asking themselves is, why? What are so many first-year students dropping out? I am sure that...

...1. What do we call the process of sub-dividing a problem into smaller sub-problems? This process is called Top-Down Design. 2. What is the purpose of a function prototype? It tells the return type of the data that the function will return. It tells the number of arguments passed to the function. It tells the data type of each of the passed arguments. It also tells the order in which the argument is passed to the function. 3. What is the purpose of the function definition? A function definition specifies the name of the function, the types and number of parameters it expects to receive, and its return type. A function definition also includes a function body with the declarations of its local variables, and the statements that determine what the function does.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGE OF USING POINTER S AND ITS aPPLICATION | | | | | | | | | | | Estimated duration: 1 week Nature of Paper : TECHNICAL Paper Description: In this topic we discuss all about Pointer With their Uses related to program,advantage,disadvantage,and it’s application. Here we discuss some reasons why we use Pointer:- What is a pointer? Pointer is nothing , it is just a variable which hold the Address of another variable. For example, consider the variable declaration: int *ptr; ptr is the name of our variable. The '*' informs the compiler that we want a pointer variable. The int says that we intend to use our pointer variable to store the address of an integer . Such a pointer is said to "point to" an integer. Why Have Pointers? Pointers solve two common software problems. First, pointers allow different sections of code to share information...

...Week 1 Notes The four Ps are people, product, project, and process. The people are the project stakeholders. The stake holders can consists of the business manager, the project manager, programmers, development team, and end users. The business management normally consists of senior management (VP, President) and marketing (product manager). The project managers are responsible for tracking and controlling the progress of the project. Software engineers are responsible for developing and maintaining the software. Software development includes many tasks such as requirements gathering, software architecture and design, implementation, testing, configuration management, and documentation. A software project defines the activities and results needed to produce a software product. Each project has a similar set of activities. Planning, determining what is required, determining how to build the software to meat the requirements, Implementing the software (programing), testing, modifying, and maintaining. Process PG. 9 - Since policy decisions about software process take place at an organizational level (company, department, group, etc.), there is a need to assess the software development capabilities of organizations.

Founded in 1903 in Milwaukee, WI, Harley just celebrated its 100th anniversary with a series of events around the world that culminated in hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists rallying last summer on the shores of Lake Michigan. In 1929, there were 241 motorcycle manufacturers in the US. After the Depression, only two remained: Harley and Indian. By 1953, Indian went out of business, leaving Harley-Davidson as the only American motorcycle manufacturer. Financial difficulties in the 1970’s led to the parent company, AMF putting the motorcycle division up for sale. Without a buyer, a group of Harley managers bought out the company and rescued it with a business turnaround that included brand extensions into licensed...
