...Essay Test Tips-Help Read the directions carefully. Pay close attention to whether you are supposed to answer all the essays or only a specified amount (e.g. "Answer 2 out of the 3 questions). Make sure that you understand what the question is asking you. If you're not, ask your instructor. Make sure that you write down everything that is asked of you and more. The more details and facts that you write down, the higher your grade is going to be. Budget your time, don't spend the entire test time on one essay. If the question is asking for facts, don't give your personal opinion on the topic. When writing your essay, try to be as neat as possible, neater papers usually receive higher marks. Make an outline before writing your essay. This way your essay will be more organized and fluid. If you happen to run out of time, most instructors will give you partial credit for the ideas that you have outlined. Don't write long introductions and conclusions, the bulk of your time should be spent on answering the question(s) asked. Focus on one main idea per a paragraph. If you have time left at the end, proofread your work and correct any errors. Budget your time. If you have an hour to write 3 essays, spend no more than 20 minutes on each essay, then if you have time left over at the end go back and finish any incomplete essays. If you aren't sure about an exact date or number, use approximations e.g. "Approximately 5000" or "In the late 17th century." If you make...

...What is the ACT Aspire Test? Colleges accept both SAT or ACT test results for determining that a student is academically ready for college. While some students take both tests, others choose one. The ACT is described as more of an achievement exam, while the SAT requires more reasoning skills. The ACT is comprised of multiple-choice questions in the areas of English, reading, science, mathematics, and includes an optional writing test. Many school districts have taken measures to buildup participation in the ACT and optimize student outcomes. ACT Aspire is the latest curriculum-based program for elementary through high school students, designed specifically to: provide early assessment of student progress; enhance college readiness; and...

...shorter wavelengths. When the slinky was moved with huge, slow strokes, there was low frequency and long wavelength. Constructive interference was illustrated when both people on either side of the slinky sent their waves at the same time, and on the same side. They constructed together and the wave continued. Deconstructive interference occurred when a wave was sent on opposite sides. When the waves met in the middle they fell apart and were lost. The highest frequency and shortest wavelength result in the highest energy, while little energy is found in a low frequency, long wavelength. The objective of determining the relationship between the colors of visible light and those of select elements were met through the results of the flame test to observe Lithium, Sodium acetate, and sodium chloride. Also by using a spectroscope to observe the spectra of Helium, Argon, Mercury, and Neon emissions. This was done to compare the gaseous spectra to a solid spectra. The spectroscope directed at a flourescent light bulb showed a full line spectra, meaning every light was visible in the light bulb. Unfortunately the same elements weren’t burnt as those that were observed using the spectroscope so it wasn’t possible to compare the line and band spectrums together. Although, line spectrums were more prevalent in the gaseous stage and band spectrums were more common in a solid form. This is because the line spectrum is more easily observable when in a compact form such as a solid, compared...

...Standardized Tests? You only have one day, it is now or never. Then again, there is way too much of what teachers and students call, “tests.”Students should not take standardized tests. One because it takes up too much time, another is because we could be learning so much more in the time given, finally because they can stress students. Approximately 1.6 percent of class time is spent standardized testing. Students should actually have the opportunity to learn something instead of doing the same thing over and over. Sure, some teachers will say that students should take their time, but some students will not take advantage of that opportunity and they will just sit there. So shouldn’t there be some sort of a limit? If we didn’t have standardized...

...Can the Damage on Earth be reversed? Human activities occurring every day have had colossal damage to our planet Earth from the past, and these activities are perpetual. The infinity aspect of these perverse human doings implies continuous damage to the Earth. These activities include air pollution as a result of industrial emissions, water pollution caused by industrial waste products, noise pollution, and soil pollution. These damages yield adverse effects such as global warming, climate change, and loss of marine life among many aggravating effects of environmental damage. Even though, global organizations and governments have devoted much effort to environmental protection and restoration, is the damage reversible? Therefore, this paper aims at assessing various forms of damage to the environment and evaluating whether the damage can be reversed. Global warming has adverse effects on human health across the planet. For this reason, it has triggered responses from global corporations, and nations aimed at combating global warming. This can be accomplished through mitigation of the causes and effects, adaptation to altering the ecosystem, and geoengineering to reverse global warming, (Haldar, 2011). Sequestration method can be used as a means of mitigating global warming that involves capturing and storage of greenhouse gases while reducing emissions of these gases. Planetary engineering called geoengineering can be used as another method of deliberating modifications of the...

...The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the most controversial and debated topics in American History. JFK was one of the most beloved presidents of our time. One article of his death wrote, "The day the country cried". Unlike previous presidential assassinations, the JFK assassination is one that is filled the conspiracy theories. Such theories include a Government cover-up, Mafia influence and Cuban President Fidel Castro. The idea of a lone mind, Lee Harvey Oswald, plotting to kill President Kennedy is too simple. In the eyes of scholars there is simply no way that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Even with the growing number of bogus theories, there are a number of logical theories that do hold water. In this paper I will discuss a couple of the conspiracy theories that are published for the public to read. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 while riding through the streets of Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Many people now believe that his murder was a result of a conspiracy. Based on acoustical evidence, it has been scientifically proven, with 96.3% certainty that there were four shots fired from two different shooters. Many people believe that there was no possible way that Oswald had the time to fire all four shots, therefore there must have been a second shooter, right? Theorists who support the fact that Oswald acted alone like to question several ideas supported by these conspiracy theorists. To look at it more in depth you have to...

...Resource Assignments Delivery, Project and Resource Managers, Portfolio Managers, Planners The Hewlett-Packard Project and Portfolio system has been reconfigured to reflect the recent organizational changes for the 2008 Development Annual Plan (DAP) and operating calendar Framework and Background The conceptual design of the HP-PPM system revolves around resource utilization and optimization. The system process and objects include: 1. Resource Pools – collection of individuals with a common resource manager responsible for “allocating” resources to approved work initiatives. Each resource (person) is tagged with a specific “Role” (think of this as a capability or area of expertise; not specific skill) and is assigned to a Resource Pool. This pool then acts as a supply and demand center for all work initiatives requiring that “Role”. Each resource is assigned a “capacity” (typically 40 hours per week), which establishes the “supply” side of the demand management equation. A Resource Pool may contain more than one Role, or set of individuals. In our case, the Resource Pool has been established at the Department (budget) level, so there are 7 primary (contains assignable resources) resource pools in IT: ➢ Product Technology Enterprise Governance ➢ Information Strategy Product Development ➢ Technical Operations Business Services ➢ Enterprise Architecture Pools for Program...

...Wednesday nights, where they taught us how to look for tricks in the test, how to avoid doing actual work, sneaking, crafting the trade of shortcuts. I remember sitting there in the bright fluorescently lit, bleak whitewashed room that was 163, while the older woman preached how the ACT is all about knowing the little nuances of the ACT. At this point it is 8pm I have been awake for 14 hours, my head is tucked away in my arm, cocooning into my jacket, entangled in a web of dreams. However hearing this my ears perk up, like a dog barking at the mailman, I drag my head up, eyes adjusting to the light, brain rebooting, I raise my somewhat limp and half extended hand up. I asked so you mean to tell us that the ACT doesn’t even look for our academic ability? She proceeds with the deadly stare as is if this 60 year old woman was going to grab the yardstick nearby and break it over my head for asking such a dumb question. She clears her wrinkly dangling throat and proceeds with of “course it’s about academic ability, we are just trying to teach you how to look at the test”. Standardized Tests were devised by experts convened by state education commissioners and governors to set uniform benchmarks for learning. They come labeled in different names from District Assessments,...

...Test Essay Questions Question #1 Chaerephon asked the omniscient oracle if there was anyone wiser than Socrates, and the Oracle replied there was not. Socrates becomes very perplexed by the answer for he knew the Oracle could not tell a lie & he knew he had no certain wisdom or knowledge. In order to test the claim of the Oracle, Socrates began to question Athenian men whose knowledge was highly respected such as the politicians, the poets, and craftsmen. He found that the politicians who thought they were very wise, in fact knew nothing at all. The poets were incapable of explaining their works; Socrates concluded that their genius came not from wisdom but from some sort of instinct or inspiration which was in no way connected to their intellect. Furthermore, these poets seemed to think they could speak intelligently about all sorts of matters concerning which they were quite ignorant. In the craftsmen, Socrates found men who truly did have great wisdom in their craft, but invariably, they seemed to think that their expertise in one field allowed them to speak authoritatively in many other fields, about which they knew nothing. In each case, Socrates affirmed that he would rather be as he is, knowing that he knows nothing, than to be inflated by a false sense of his own wisdom. Thus, he concludes, he truly is wiser than other men because he does not think he knows what he does not know. Though many people take Socrates to be an expert in the fields of which he questions...

...Journal of Information Technology Education Volume 2, 2003 An Overview of Current Research on Automated Essay Grading Salvatore Valenti, Francesca Neri and Alessandro Cucchiarelli DIIGA - Universita’ Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy valenti@inform.unian.it neri@inform.unian.it alex@inform.unian.it Executive Summary Essays are considered by many researchers as the most useful tool to assess learning outcomes, implying the ability to recall, organize and integrate ideas, the ability to express oneself in writing and the ability to supply merely than identify interpretation and application of data. It is in the measurement of such outcomes, corresponding to the evaluation and synthesis levels of the Bloom’s (1956) taxonomy that the essay questions serve their most useful purpose. One of the difficulties of grading essays is represented by the perceived subjectivity of the grading process. Many researchers claim that the subjective nature of essay assessment leads to variation in grades awarded by different human assessors, which is perceived by students as a great source of unfairness. This issue may be faced through the adoption of automated assessment tools for essays. A system for automated assessment would at least be consistent in the way it scores essays, and enormous cost and time savings could be achieved if the system can be shown to grade essays within the range of those awarded by human assessors. This paper presents an overview of current approaches to...
