Category theory

five people responded for a 83.3% return. I was quite surprised by the answers from the observers. I found that I rated myself lower than the observers in all five of the categories. I am not sure if this…

The raw data from the interview transcript and survey form were analyzed using the grounded theory approach developed by Corbin & Strauss (1990). The initial coding began after reading the entire interview transcript two times. Following this step, the data was deconstructed line-by- line and codes were assigned to the concepts and processes that these lines represented. Once the entire document was coded, the document was reviewed again with the aim to converge or diverge the data using a…

In the article entitled “Map It Then Write It!” by Kimberly Lott and Sylvia Read, I learned a lot about how beneficial mapping can be before a student begins to write about a certain topic. “Primary students have many options for graphic organizers to help develop writing skills in science” (Lott and Read, 46). This quote from the article really seems to sum up what the article was about because children have so many opportunities to use mapping to make their writing better, especially since…

characteristics that helps determine how they are labeled. Every driver is different; however, there are three categories that they can be grouped into: the overly cautious driver, the normal driver, and the reckless driver. The overly cautious driver is the first category of vehicle operators and they are known to move extremely slow, go above and beyond to obey all laws, and enjoy the silence. Overly cautious drivers are the easiest to spot on the road because they are always the ones being…

As we near the end of this spring semester, we should now take some and evaluate if any improvements were made between the first and second half of the semester, as well as some goals that you didn’t quite reach. Looking specifically at my participation for the last half of this class, I can definitely see the continuation of my responsibility and work ethic in how I completed my assignments and conduct myself that I exhibited in the first semester. However, I also have to admit to myself that I…

Problem of the Week Pool Corners Problem Statement: For this problem of the week, we tested out rebounds and corners on a pool table. Our task for this POW, is to figure out where the ball would go if we followed the correct directions. If we hit the ball at a 45 degree angle, starting at the lower corner, and continued to hit the ball until it went into a corner pocket, where would it end up at? We had to figure out a pattern between the hits and rebounds. Doing this, we made many pool…

a fundamental sense, the federal government is what it spends. Through the budget, the government assists millions of families in meeting basic expenses and provides a financial safety net for the sick, elderly, and other dependent persons” (Professor Allen Schick, “The Federal Budget: Politics, Policy, Processes,” 2007) The Federal Budget of the United States is decided upon by both the President and Congress through a discussion process that often leaves the two parties split on controversial…

National Junior Honors Society is a society for kids who exceed in the four categories: leadership, service, character, and citizenship. Being in NJHS would be an amazing opportunity that I hope I can be a part of. I believe that I excell in all of the four categories in many different ways and I am definitely someone that you should consider for the part. One of the categories is leadership and I feel that I am a very good leader that would be great for NJHS. For example, I play competitive…

Bruner (1957) suggested four stages of how we categorize new stimuli into already learned categories. Primitive categorization being the first stage. Whereby we perceptually isolate an event or persons characteristic qualities with focus on the analysis of features. Secondly we search for cue in already existing categories that contain similar features, if there is a match then there is a ‘feature overlap’. Inferences are made if there is enough of a feature overlap. Comparable to reaching a…
