Better Than Ezra

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…

Global risk is an event that can lead to huge negative impacts on the environment of most countries for a period of more than ten years. Environmental issues have been on the rise has they have been blamed for causing some of the worst problems based on various fields such as social, political and economic effects that are proving difficult to control (Nelson, 2003). Some key factors that are expected to change due to environmental stress include rise in water level and climate change that will…

an article titled Laugh Your Way To Better Health, by Sarah Schmelling which was about the benefits laughter had on health. I chose article because laughter is a common phenomenon in most peoples ' lives and it would be amazing to find out a simple action like this can result in better health. Analyzing this article would also allow me to determine the credibility of the article. I successfully examined the effectiveness of the article Laugh Your Way To Better Health by breaking it down and…

determined it easier for them to leave the entire process out of their accounting plans. While this could simplify the work that is completed, there are actually many benefits to inventory forecasting that can actually help make your business better than it started. Keep these in mind as you are making your plans for managing the inventory…

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…

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 an…

I’ve attended multiple leadership conferences and grown from a timid 9th grader to a confident and outgoing young adult. I have begun to take charge of not only my life but my involvement in the community. Rather than simply attending events, I am now planning them myself from start to finish. In my local Anchor Club, I was given the opportunity to turn an idea into reality. We created a new annual event to honor caregivers. The event is entirely student-driven…

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…

an ongoing process that requires the whole learning community. I enjoyed the whole peer review process since it involved seeing the work my co-learners were producing and also sharing different ways to improve our assignments. It is a lot different than collaborative works, that I have done in the past, because usually everyone does a chunk of the work and the others usually only correct for grammar errors. Peer review involved giving real constructive criticism that would affect the other…
