...Summary of Strategy: Corners is a cooperative and engaging strategy that teachers can use when posing questions or topics to students. This is an excellent strategy because it ensures that all students will participate and engage. This strategy can be used for multiple purposes such as but not limited to discussing a topic, debate, formative assessments, and to become an expert on a topic. This can be a paperless or not strategy. If going the paper route, the teacher will ask a question and have each corner in the classroom clearly labeled with the choices they will choose between. Students will write their answer choice on an index card or note card and write their reasoning why they chose it. Afterward, students will walk to the corner of...

...History[edit] Students taking a scholarship examination inside a classroom in 1940 Ancient China was the first country in the world that implemented a nationwide standardized test, which was called the imperial examination. The main purpose of this examination was to select for able candidates for specific governmental positions.[4] The imperial examination was established by the Sui Dynasty in 605 AD and was later abolished by the Qing Dynasty 1300 years later in 1905. England had adopted this examination system in 1806 to select specific candidates for positions in Her Majesty's Civil Service,modeled on the Chinese imperial examination. This examination system was later applied to education and it started to influence other parts of the world as it became a prominent standard (e.g. regulations to prevent the markers from knowing the identity of candidates), of delivering standardized tests. Influence of World Wars on Testing Both World War I and World War II made many people realize the necessity of standardized testing and the benefits associated with these tests. One main reason people saw the benefits was from the Army Alpha and Army Beta tests, which were used during WWI to determine human abilities. Alongside the Army Alpha, the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale "added momentum to the testing movement."[5] Soon after, colleges and industry began using tests to help in accepting and hiring people based on performance of the test. Another reason more tests...

...into a career Today As I stand here before you, I will give you a couple key reasons as to why High school graduates should choose Monroe Community College as a starting point in their college career. Most people choose a four year college or university with no specific reason as to why they have chosen it. If you choose Monroe you are given an opportunity to start a new life while also gaining experience for the adult life and future career choices. With over 90 degree and certificate programs MCC offers multiple opportunities to discover the appropriate career choice perfect for you. Especially when coming out of a small high school where students are given options to work closely with teachers and counselors, stepping into a large university where your voice will never be heard, becomes a hard transformation and may not always be the best solution for such students. Here at MCC students are aware of professors available times and are given opportunities to work together. Small class sizes give students motivation to work harder and never feel like just a number but more like a student. If the student should choose to reside on campus the college also provides dormitories which can also give the student experience for living on their own. Living in the dorms students will learn to interact with other and hopefully create new friendships for life. Also if a student should choose to live on campus there are many activities to take part in on campus and other sights to see...

...Criminology, being the scientific study of crime, has persistently been examining the reason why criminals do what they do, and why they are the way they are. The two main differences between criminals is whether or not they choose to do these crimes, or if it is simply in their personality. These dissimilarities are called Choice theory and Trait theory. Choice, being that a criminal chooses to commit a crime, knowing the possible consequences. Trait, being that a criminal has personality traits that influences them to commit a crime. These differences are shown throughout the TV show Dexter. In this show, the main character is an ongoing killer who murders other serial killers. The beginning of the first season shows Dexter’s personality and how he cannot help himself with his murders. It shows how he murders these serial killers to try to fill a void inside of him. He does these things in attempts to make himself feel better. There are big differences between the two theories, but Dexter definitely shows a little of each theory in himself. In an episode, Dexter said, “I fake all human interactions, and I fake them very well.” By him saying this, we are to understand that all relationships in his life are empty- they mean nothing to him. He fakes relationships with his girlfriend, with strangers and acquaintances, and especially coworkers. His relationship with his girlfriend is a way to make himself not stand out so much in society. This is a pretty obvious example of the...

...In the modern world, abortions have become a norm of life. It has become the easiest way to to get rid of unwanted and accidental pregnancies. Woman have been given a gift of being able to bear a child this means they should have the option to want to wave its presents inside of them. However, abortion should not be misunderstood for convenience, as it does have its own advantages and disadvantages. The decision may hinder a life, but I believe that it is the woman's right to choose. I believe the choice of abortion, should stay legal for many positions, the first being that (1) women's health, (2) more then just a child bearing machine, (3) ability to get rid of unwanted children and my last point I will cover is (4) rape and incest that they would other wise be forced to bear. The first premise I will cover is (1)Woman's health, this can cover multiple topics in itself. Anywhere from stress on the mother to conditions called an ectopic pregnancy, this is when the new human implants itself on the wall of the fallopian tube instead of on the wall of the uterus. If left alone, the fallopian tube will eventually rupture and cause the death of the mother and child. In this case, there is no way to have a baby born alive, so it must be removed to save the life of the mother. 1 There are many other problems that can cause difficulties for the mother but not severe enough for her to die. Conditions like Toxemia, Placenta Previa, and Placental Abruption. Usually when these problems...

...(PAT) as: “concerned with predicting such actions as the choices of accounting policies by firms and how firms will respond to proposed new accounting standards.” (263) PAT uses theory to predict the choices that management will make regarding their choice of accounting policies. This theory is introduced as a way to merge efficient securities markets with economic consequences. PAT takes the view that firms will conduct themselves in the way that maximizes their own best interests. Managers do not always do what is best for shareholders, but what will be the most beneficial to their organization. The choices that an organization makes are dependant on what industry they are in, and the factors within that industry. An organization can be portrayed by the contracts it enters into. A firm’s contracts with employees, suppliers, lenders, and shareholders are central to its operations. The organization is inclined to keep these contract costs as low as possible. PAT emphasizes that an organization’s choice of accounting policies is motivated by keeping contract costs down. PAT does not propose that organizations completely identify what accounting policies they will use. Such specification is costly to commit to, and does not give management the opportunity to respond to unforeseen circumstances. Managers have flexibility to choose from a set of accounting policies, and these options let them choose the policies that are the most beneficial to them. The most...

...Gaps in Semantics of ‘Knows’ [Word Counts: Main text: 3330 words Footnotes: 581 words Abstract: 80 words] Abstract Keith DeRose has proposed that different participants in a conversation do not have different contextually determined standards for knowledge-ascriptions. Rather, there is one contextually determined standard for the whole conversation. On this ‘single scoreboard’ view, when different participants use different standards, the semantics for ‘knows’ have a truth-value gap. This essay discusses a variety of cases in which truth-value gaps will arise on single-scoreboard contextualist views. These gaps will be widespread, but that is not an argument against single-scoreboard contextualism. Keith DeRose has argued extensively for contextualism about the word ‘knows’: that the standards for what counts as knowledge are determined by the context in which the knowledge ascription is made. But DeRose does not hold that the context-sensitivity of ‘knows’ means that both parties to an apparent dispute about knowledge can be right. Some contextually sensitive terms, such as ‘I’, can take on different semantic values in the course of a single exchange, so that one person’s utterance of “I am sitting” and another’s utterance of “I am not sitting” can both be true. DeRose (2004), however, argues that the standards for knowledge never vary within a single exchange in a way that could make true one person’s utterance of “S knows that p” and...
