This tells us that the object under accelerated motion is covering the grounds in each time segment equally. 2. I feel that we use the line of best fit in order to avoid the errors that can occur while we are graphing. When we add our data to the table, we may have made a few mistakes which can change our analysis drastically so when we use the line of best fit we can see if our data is going in the pattern trend that we have planned out. If the line of best fit is avoiding some points that means our plan could be wrong or that we have a data that’s different...

...However, if the comma were omitted, and the phrase was written as eats shoots and leaves the panda is now doing as it naturally should, eating bamboo shoots and the plants leaves (Truss, 2004). So as you can see ideas are important but they need to work in synergy with good grammar to ensure that the message isn't lost. 2. How would you assess a forum response or a peer assignment which is counter to your personal values? What feedback would you give in this situation? Personal feelings or values on a particular subject should be irrelevant when assessing a forum response or peer assignment. However, assessing work that runs counter to our own personal values is not always a task easily performed. We can all have strong emotional reactions when we feel that our moral code is under attack from an opposing view. This may result in a poorer grade than a student deserved. Being mindful of how our own views may create biases in grading is a good first step in overcoming them. Putting yourself in the other persons shoes and trying to relate to where they are coming from is another example of how to reduce bias. If faced with a student’s forum response or a peer assignment that challenged my personal views I would try to be as objective as possible. Looking at what the person had written and how well it related to answering the topic being discussed. Carefully reading the grading rubic which, if followed correctly, can minimise biases, helps a great deal to mark accordingly. In the final...

...She demonstrates the ability to conserve number and subitize up to ten. Lillian is able to count by 1’s, 2’s, 10’s and continues to work on counting by 5’s. She has developed mental math strategies that help her solve addition and subtraction facts up to 20. Lillian is comfortable with power of ten, power of nine, doubles and count on/back as well as using a number line as an aid. She is able to voice her thinking aloud for example, when asked to solve 9+5, she said, “If there was a 10 it would be 15 but it’s a 9 so take 1 away and you get 14”. When others share their reasoning Lillian actively listens and shows respects thus demonstrating character in learning. Lillian continues to work on carefully looking at the operation as she has mixed them up. When solving for a missing addend, Lillian is able to use a number line but may require a reminder...

...For the unit 2 assignment, you will develop a program that will simulate the rolling of a pair of dice. Your program must simulate rolling two dice and keep track of how many rolls are required before snake eyes are rolled (Note: “Snake Eyes” means that both dice show a value of 1). You will need to use a loop structure to repeatedly ‘roll the dice’. You will also need to make use of the if statement to determine if both die show a 1. You can use the example of an if statement below in your program and you can also read ahead to next week's lesson for more information on the if statement. To roll the dice, you can use the following Java statement which generates a random number between 1 and 6 (to represent the six sides of the dice). die1 =...

...Unit 2 Assignment 1: Homework Kenneth D. Davis Intro to Programming Short Answer 1. What does a professional programmer usually do first to gain an understanding of a problem? Interview the customer 2. What is pseudocode? Fake Code 3. Computer programs typically perform what three steps? 1. Input is received. 2. Some process is performed on the input. 3. Output is produced. 4. What does the term “user- friendly” mean? The term user- friendly is commonly used in the software business to describe pro-grams that are easy to use. Programs that do not display adequate or correct instruc-tions are frustrating to use, and are not considered user- friendly. One of the simplest things that you can do to increase a program’s user- friendliness is to make sure that it displays clear, understandable prompts prior to each statement that reads keyboard input. 5. What two things must you normally specify in a variable declaration? You must specify the variable type and an identifier 6. What value is stored in uninitialized variables? Some languages assign a default value as 0 to uninitialized variables. In many languages, however, uninitialized variables hold unpredictable values. Algorithm Workbench 1.

... The goal of my personal project was to, “Create a modification for the game Minecraft for its version labeled 1.8.9 written in Java, with efficient and organized code.” This goal involved me needing to research how to make Java code even neater, and how to make certain functions the code has even more efficient. I would also need to know differences between writing code for Minecraft’s 1.8.9 version, considering my prior knowledge consisted of writing code for Minecraft’s 1.7.10 version. I’ve familiarized myself with the Java coding language over the course of a year, and have decided to use this knowledge to create a product that anyone can use to enrich their experience while playing Minecraft. However, I’m not an expert in Java, therefore I do have a lot to learn about the language. In the past years, I’ve relied on modifications for Minecraft developed by other people to make my game experience even more entertaining for myself. I can see that there is a large portion of the community of people who play Minecraft, who play the game with modifications. In my opinion, in order to avoid losing interest in a game I use to entertain myself, I continue to add on to it by downloading a new modification and installing it. My inspiration for creating my own modification would be so that I can be in charge of delivering content to a game I enjoy, and be able to share my creation with the rest of the world. The Global Context of my Personal Project was Scientific and Technological...

...The area of each square is therefore 2*2=4 and the volume of each column will be 4 times the height of the right-right corner. The 6 points are therefore (4,2) xy=8 volume=32 (4,4) xy=16 volume=64 (6,2) xy=12 volume=48 (6,4) xy=24 volume=96 (8,2) xy=16 volume=64 (8,4) xy=32 volume=128 The sum of these numbers is height of a stack of columns would be 108 The sum of the volumes is 432 To check the arithmetic I also multiply 108 time 4 to get 432. Since this is a monotonically increasing situation this estimate will be greater than the actual volume. I will assume that the midpoint rule will also use the same number of sub-divisions. The points are therefore as follows x is from the set{3,5,7} and y is from the set{1.3} (3,1) xy = 3 volume=12 (3,3) xy = 9 volume=36 (5,1) xy = 5...
