A Few Questions

Narrative Interview My mom had only told me little things about her college experiences, just a few stories here and there, the occasional frantic phone calls to her mom, and some about the friends she made. So when I decided to sit down and interview her, I was generally curious on what she would tell me. I had been contemplating the questions I would ask her while I was waiting for her to get home from work. After she had gotten home and I was satisfied with my list, I sat down and started…

morning and there were people taking work out classes, running on the track, and working out in the gym. The question I posed for this situation was, how do larger companies try to encourage a more healthy work environment and lifestyle? As well as, how do people respond to having free time in their work schedule to be active instead of working at a desk all day? These are important questions that should be answered because of the health risks that are associated with working at a desk all day.…

Over the past few months, we have conducted an experiment studying how change blindness effects the short-term memory of students in our school. Change blindness is defined as, “the surprising difficulty observers have in noticing large changes to visual scenes” (http://psychology.about.com/od/cognitivepsychology/f/change-blindness.htm). It is a phenomenon that has gained national attention and bewilderment, and we decided to test it out on our fellow classmates to see how they fared. We began…

Sincere questions: are questions that one person genuinely asks another person for a honest/informative response in return. Asking a sincere question can also lead to an emotional conversation if the person is being bothered or concerned over something. A time with sincere questioning that I have experienced was last quarter when I had to do an interview for my sociology class. The interview was meant to be taken seriously so that we could find out how a certain experience helped shape the…

organized and he had a few strategies. He uses a cart to help him carry around his materials, he loads the cart up every morning with the material he needs. He has his curriculum organized by grade and each grade is assigned a color of binder. This way he can look his at cart and know if he has his materials for 8th grade, 7th grade, 6th grade. I thought this was a great idea…

Technology and human interaction Technology itself has moved at a lighting speed over these past few years. Just in the last decade technology has revolutionized the way we talk, shop, read, share news including the way we think. Technology has become a daily lifestyle now for most people, and it is becoming relatively easy to obtain any information thanks to the internet. Because more and more people have access to technology including the internet it is shaping the interaction we have…

Once the questionnaire and the few questions were asked of the parent’s observation of the children playing would follow. The procedure is quite simple because, it is important to see how the children interact on their own/with another sex. This study would also not force a gender stereotype…

Personal Statement "How can I help?" is a simple question that we normally either dismiss or greet with lukewarm enthusiasm. In this question though, rests a core intention of trying to be part of the solution. It may not seem important, but the simplest of ideas, motivations or questions can begin most journeys, which is true in my case. I remember that as a young child of around 4 years old, I would sit on the counter next to the medicine cabinet and read the back of all the medicine bottles.…

utilized Wright and Leahey (2013) Nurses and Families: A guide to Family Assessment and Interventions textbook in order to guide me in discussion to continue to get to know the Galager family, who continue to be guarded and reluctant to answer questions. My question guide, Family Sense of Coherence (FSOC) Scale and Questionnaire, as well as the Ecomap can be found in the Appendix section of this Field Notes document. This field note is my reflection not only on the meeting, which will address…

When it comes to assessment during the lectures, there is not much to say. It’s mostly lecturing based on a series of questions he provides to the students at the beginning of each unit. The closest thing to assessment during the lectures is when students either struggle with answering a problem or ask Mr. Crowder a question. Here are some examples that I noted throughout my time in the classroom. Mr. Crowder - Only two electrons can be in an orbital. Student - Doesn’t the P-Orbital set hold six…
