    Testing is one of the most important parts of software development life cycle. It is an element of software quality assurance and can be described as a process of running a program in such a manner as to uncover any errors. Testing also demonstrates that software functions appear to be working according to specifications, that behavioral and performance requirements appear to have been met. That test will be carried out when the system is complete. In this chapter, I test my simulation software with testing method.…

    Throughout my educational career standardized testing has been a major part in determining whether or not you can proceed to the next grade or whether you have to take the class again. A Lot of kids that were my age when I had to take the STAAR test usually dreaded having to take a standardized test like the STAAR English II exam. I was no different, I was one of those kids who just wanted to get this test done with and move one. For a while this philosophy of mine worked, however that all would change when I ended up failing the English II STAAR test during my sophomore year of high school. Thus leading to a change in how I would view standardized testing and how my writing composition skills would eventually improve and affect my life.…

    Many people take to math differently. Some people are quick to learn while others never fully develop in mathematics skills. Questions have been raised - “Are our brains wired differently?” “Is there something wrong with my brain if I am not as quick as someone else when it comes to solving problems?” Recently, research done by Stanford University has found that brains truly are “wired differently.”…

    Algebra For All

    • 115 Words
    • 1 Pages

    The move towards “Algebra for All” is based on the notion that success in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) competencies in the 21st century, require fluency in algebraic reasoning and problem solving. Although there is a great need for more students to join the STEM fields, few students pursue these fields in higher education. Scholars have proposed that algebraic thinking should be introduced in the early grades to make the transition to learning complex algebra easier (e.g., Blanton & Kaput, 2011; Cai & Knuth, 2011). Indeed, research has shown that it is possible for students in the earlier grades to engage in functional thinking (Warren, Cooper, & Lamb, 2006), and algebraic reasoning (Bjuland,…

    I have always been a high achiever, someone who wants to do well in what they do. I was homeschooled from first through eighth grade, and so I taught myself quite frequently. However, as I grew older, I began to think about college, and about where I will be by then. This led to thinking about if I will possess enough knowledge about both simple school related things, and dealing with a school setting. I had never had to sit through classes, or deal with the unique social setting of school.…

    Close Gaps

    As students there is often a lot of pressure to pass, whether it be a quiz, test or the overall course. Because of this, we often only focus on doing what we have to in order to pass as opposed to actually taking the time out to fully understand what we have been taught. This leads to partial explanations and a lot of question marks as we progress, because the basics that should be second nature to us at this point, have not been fully comprehended, leading to “gaps” in their learning. I remember going through a similar experience growing up, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one. However, there are many ways that these fundamental gaps can be filled, starting with eliminating a lot of the “passing pressure” and allowing people to do…

    My childhood memories regarding learning mathematics has been for the most part positive from 6th grade onwards. From 1st grade to 5th grade I was not conscientious so at times math tests produced anxiety but math was, at the same time, easier and simpler back then. I recall being the fastest person to state the multiplication tables in 4th grade. During 6th to 8th grade, although I was not necessarily the smartest, I landed at the top of the class in advance math since I was very hard working. However in 9th grade I recalled a horrific incident.…
