Randy: I really liked the format of your response. It was very well written. I too am a criminal justice major. However, I have never had a very strong interest in writing and am hoping this course changes that. Your College Composition and Literature course sounded very interesting, and I think I would have benefited from a course like that. I couldn 't agree with you more regarding having difficulties organizing a paper. I often struggle with this as well, and I hope this course helps me to…

How Inventory Forecasting can make your business Great One of the only downsides of inventory forecasting is that it takes a substantial amount of time to complete correctly. Time must be spent reviewing product and market trends as well as the interests and needs of the customers. Since this is usually a difficult process, many businesses don’t see the value in inventory forecasting. Instead, they have determined it easier for them to leave the entire process out of their accounting plans.…
getting worse, not better. This week he was absent two days, and two days he was removed from the class. The days he came I struggled getting him to take off his headphones and put his cellphone away, which happened to be during a quiz. The assistant principal ended up being called and he was removed from the room. This is isn’t really how I would have handled it personally. I asked my teacher for help when he was not responding to me hoping she would talk to him because she has a better rapport…
question you are unsure of. In in the process of vetting the competition, if your answer is fact checked, it could expose you as incompetent or worse, a liar. “No” or “I don’t know but I’d be happy to find out” are two perfectly suitable answers in a business scenario. When I was a younger sales rep. I was always tempted to elaborate on questions I was not 100% certain of for fear of appearing “green”; little did I know that more often than not, you’re exposed and wind up truly looking like…
I’ve always known I was going to go to college. It seemed that the fact that my mother hadn’t even graduated high school, much less college, made my future plans inevitable – I needed to attend college. With both of my parents degree-less, I have been left to pursue whatever type of career I wished, as long as I did pursue a career. To some people, that may be empowering. However, it made me clueless. For a long period of time, I resented my parents for it – while others had small pushes from…
Fidelity of implementation is critical in improving student-learning outcomes. In order to grow from our mistakes, we need conscience data that will inform our decision process. I currently sit on the SRBI team at Westside Middle School and one of the greatest disconnects we have noticed is that teachers are not always connecting their daily lesson planning to SRBI. Let’s say, hypothetically I was appointed as a central office administrator and charged with improving the SRBI process at the…
What’s an engineer? That first thing that comes to mind when I’m ask that question is someone “smart,” “solve problems,” or “a lot of math.” The truth is that engineering is all of that and more. To describe what an engineer does can be quite complicated because the field involves many areas. You can have mechanical, chemical, biomedical, electrical, and many others. Even if engineering is such a broad field, all these areas have something in common, solve problems. Engineers are those that use…
Assessment and Evaluation is the final on-line course required to complete the certificate of Teaching and Training Adults. It involved learning methods of assessment and evaluation in order to determine if learning has been successful. I first thought that evaluations for adult learners aren’t important but I now realize that it is important to know if the content has been delivered successfully. Evidence of learning can only by determined through evaluation measures. Evaluation is not just for…
