...Displays are attached according to the appearance of question. Example: question 2 is discussed first, so the first display belongs with question 2 and so on. 2. The questions we chose for our displays were questions 2, 3, 6, and 7. Questions 2 and 6 are numerical and questions 3 and 7 are categorical. For question 2, we chose to do a dot plot in Tinkerplots for how many credit hours students are taking. We knew that this was appropriate because question 2 is a numerical question, and a dot plot is a numerical display. Another reason we felt this was an appropriate way to display our data because there is a small range of numbers so our scale would not be too big. Also, the highest number of students with the same number of credit hours is 40, which was not too high of a range either. Along the bottom, there is a consistent scale of 1 that complements our data. Although there is a large...

...interviewer’s part: * Interpersonal skills, which put a job candidate at ease and elicit the most accurate responses. * Preparation helps an interviewer cover all job-related questions and avoid saying things that might violate antidiscrimination laws, create an implied employment contract, or misrepresent the job. * Objectivity requires the interviewer to be impartial and unbiased. Interviewers must evaluate a candidate based on the factors that predict future job performance. * Good recordkeeping supplies the information needed to compare different candidates and documents the screening process in case a rejected candidate challenges the hiring decision. Interview Types Interviews fall into two categories: structured and unstructured. OUHR recommends the use of structured interviews. Structured Interviews The interviewer approaches the interview with an organized and well-planned questioning method while always staying on task. Some interviewers will ask the interview questions in a specific order while others take a more relaxed approach, though still addressing all pre-planned questions. Structured interviews generally provide the interviewer with the information needed to make the hiring decision. All candidates are asked the same questions, rather than tailoring the questions to target a specific individual. Unstructured Interviews Unstructured interviews do not rely upon a prepared agenda. Instead, the candidate sets the pace of the interview....

...(Columna, 2013; Ayles, 2009 and Dela Cruz, 2004). In a study conducted by Columna (2013), results revealed that the students were struggling to comprehended texts in their L2 with majority of them fall under instructional level and a significant of them fall under frustration level. In the same manner, Dela Cruz (2004) found that the students in the secondary level have difficulties in reading materials in the content areas especially in Mathematics and Science. The researcher posits that these comprehension problems have rooted from the questioning pedagogical strategy employed by the teachers. Chin (2002) found that questions, particularly those asked in response to wonderment, stimulate students to generate explanations for things which puzzle them and to propose solutions to problems and trigger the use of deep thinking strategies which may not be invoked if the questions had not been asked, and thus they play an important role in engaging students' minds more actively. In a parallel study, Taboada (2003) found that low and high level...

...following on social networks and life satisfaction. Two different studies were conducted. The first studied the scale, scope, and nature of envious emotions related to Facebook use. The second study observed the role of envy and how it affects passive following on FB and life satisfaction. 584 Facebook users took online surveys, answering questions regarding emotions experienced while on and after using Facebook. Researchers asked open and closed-ended questions. The first question asked participants how they felt after they used Facebook. Researchers found that 46% of the sample reported positive feelings and the majority of negative emotions (36.9%) were boredom, anger, frustration. Envy was at the bottom of the list with only 1.2% of users admitting to it. The experimenters believed that people were reluctant to admit to being envious as it is socially unacceptable to envy others. The second question was asked as a general question rather than a direct question; what causes others to feel frustration on Facebook? Envy was the most frequent answer as 30% of the sample attributed envy as the cause of other people’s frustration. Question three was also worded as a general inquiry; what causes other people to feel envy on Facebook? Travel and leisure posts were linked to envy on FB (56.3%), social interaction was the second highest at 14.1%. The study found that envy is the mediator between...

...“Two Questions,” by Lynda Barry, is a short story about believing in yourself and your work. Barry talks about something that everyone goes through sometimes in their lives. We all criticize ourselves trying to please others. Criticizing ourselves will only lower our self confidence. Lynda Barry teaches us not to care about others opinion and do what makes us happy. If we try to please others’ then we’ll never be happy. While reading the story, I realized that I used to ask the same two questions as Lynda Barry when I finished my work. The two questions Barry asks are, “Is this good? Does this suck?" (168). Throughout middle school and some parts of high school, I used to always second guess myself by asking these two questions. I would rely on others’ opinion. I didn’t think that it was good enough until someone else told me it was. “But the two questions find everybody” (Barry, 170). Just like me, you might find yourself asking these same questions. You might also find yourself asking these questions to others. You might rely on others opinion more than your own. You might trust their opinions more then you trust your own. This text agrees with the view I have of the world. Our society cares more about others opinion than their own. “As, for bad drawings, I tried my best not to ever make them”. We try to please others more than ourselves. That is how our society works. We believe in others more than we believe in ourselves. “For the next 30 years I chased after...

...guides, reference books, suggested answers etc. Read all text books and prescribed reading. 2. How to read? How to read addresses issues of methodology of reading and various reading practices. One technique is that of faster reading by not reading word-to-word and not going for re-reading called regression. Faster reading saves a lot of time. Amongst many techniques aimed at better reading, SQ3R is one of the most powerful techniques. This technique is very effectively used by me from 12th standard to Chartered Accountant, IIM MBA and CFA course. This technique is the basic foundation of my academic success leading to consistent rank holding career and I would very strongly recommend to all students. The full form of SQ3R is survey, question, read, recite and review. Let me explain this technique in brief as under: a) Survey: Survey the reading material before you actually start the reading. Here you are doing study of the title, main sections, going through preface to the subject and thereby creating your mental framework as to what...

...Practical – Do leading questions have an effect on memory? Aim: To find out whether leading questions result in the inaccuracy of memory. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that participants who are asked a leading question will have a higher estimate of speed after watching the video clip. I have suggested this due to the Loftus and Palmer Study (1974), in which Loftus and Palmer conclude that leading questions alter a person’s recollection of memory, often activating the wrong schemas and in most cases distort the recalled information by reconstructing the memory with the help of particular cues. The hypothesis created is one-tailed/ directional. Null Hypothesis: My null hypothesis is that participants who are asked a leading question will have a similar estimate of speed as participants who are asked a non-leading question. Apparatus: 1. A video clip of two cars being raced - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfV87TgYH78 2. Paper and pen – For students to write their estimate of speed. Independent Variable: The independent variable is the leading/ non-leading question asked to participants. Dependent Variable: The dependent variable is the estimation of the speed (mph) of the car in the video clip shown to participants. The two variables above will determine the final results acquired from the experiment I will be conducting with my group. Controlled Variable: I will ensure that the two groups contain equal number of participants. For...

...test, you can reduce the amount you need to listen to. At the beginning the IELTS Test there is a 2.5 minute introduction. Use this time to read through the IELTS listening test booklet and try to get a general understanding of what the sections are going to be about – even this simple type of prediction will help you. 2. As you scan through the booklet, look for maps, charts or illustrations – these often give you a good idea of what the topic of a section is going to be about. 3. After each section you are given one minute to check your answers. But how can you check your answers if you can’t listen to the tape again? Use this time to scan and get an idea of what the next set of questions are going to be about. 4. Occasionally, you can get an idea about answers to earlier questions by reading later questions. For example: Question 1: “Where are they going?” Question 10: “What time are they coming home from the cinema?” Obviously, there’s a good chance that the answer to Question 1 is ‘Cinema’. However, you still need to listen to check. Often though, listening to check your predictions is easier than trying to listen for the answer on the tape. 6. Sometimes you are asked to complete a table or a chart using information on the tape. It’s natural to think that answers will be...

...the questions in an excellent manner. 2. Take your seat well in time. Avoid thinking about what will be asked in the test paper. 3. Relax and don’t think about the exam. Take deep breaths and relax your hands by stretching. Perform some religious ‘Mantra’ if you have faith in religion or at least to be away from the exam anxiety. I used to speak ‘Navkar Mantra’ which is the most powerful mantra for the Jains. 4. When the test papers are being distributed maintain cool and calm position without getting nervous or anxious. 5. Read all instructions of the test paper carefully before starting any answer. 6. Read entire question paper before starting any answer. While you read the questions also judge the question paper in terms of length, difficulty level, type of questions etc. 7. While reading all questions analyse the type of test paper in terms of essay type questions, short-notes, fill in the blanks, true-false, multiple choice questions, reading comprehension, charts etc. 8. Pay attention to the total number of questions and the amount of time which will be required to complete the same. 9. Read directions for all questions and understand what are the optional questions, if any. One of the biggest causes of loss of marks is not reading instructions or not interpreting the instructions correctly. Pay special attention to words like ‘and’, ‘or’ etc. to understand the options.
