Do it yourself

Countless people cringe when a do-it-yourself project is mentioned, especially when it is a home renovation project. Images of spewing plumbing, paint splattered on carpet, and tile that is slightly askew are conjured up in the minds of these fearful people, but repairing and updating a home is worth all of the trouble. Several people stress out when a renovation needs done, and having done it themselves and over with can be a relief. Others simply long for projects to be done or crave a change of scenery around the house. On occasion, it is easier and cheaper to complete a repair or update rather than hiring a professional. At times, a contractor will charge an astronomical amount for labor, even if the cost of the materials is quite…

For my Do-It-Yourself Primatology project I chose to research how Indiana University male and female students behave differently in public when they are eating with a group of friends, versus eating on their own among strangers. I found this question to be thought provoking because of the fact that Indiana University is a very diverse school with people from many different cultures and backgrounds. For this experiment I broke the variables down into four different categories; my first category…

The Do It Yourself party was created by the generation of those who had to create things for themselves. Their parents did not hand them things on a silver platter. They worked for what they believed in. The Do It Yourself party, we do not push our work on to other people. The party can be followed on Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat. Our party is for those eighteen and older, unless you are working and are sixteen. Here we believe that any man or woman can get married to any man or woman. No…

Have you ever found yourself in debt because of a credit card? Do you ever find yourself thinking that the credit card is evil or out to get you? Why have one then? Because you can pay for things online or over the telephone with a credit card, but guess what, you can do all those things with a debit card. A huge target for credit cards are teens, because they don't know how to really deal with money, and that's when a lot of mistakes happen. If credit cards are so bad, why do people use…

during this meeting will assist in making this decision. The session will be considered a success, if an agreement is reached. According to Cardon (2008), "coaches accompany their clients to find their own solutions by asking coaching questions"(para. 1). The more a coach centers the process around client, the more a client will develop autonomy and focus on achieving the established goals. I plan to incorporate the questions on the Coaching Feedback Form in Appendix 'A ' with the ones…

Personal Reflection How political do you consider yourself? I should be considered highly not political since in most case I am extremely direct in term of communication. Despite having good intent, it is seldom well received by the majority of the people because to a certain degree, agreeing to what I said means that they had been wrong all this while. This is something that is hard to stomach since it is something that they view as face losing. I also viewed everyone equally and the highly…

The title of the article is Do-It-Yourself ELT Professional Development by Tomiko Breland. Yeah, I know that your thoughts are “Do it yourself? That doesn’t sound very convincing!”, but trust me, for our population of students, it makes sense. In today’s classrooms, the teachers that are ESOL certified are, in general, just ESOL endorsed. Once they get the endorsement, not a lot of education, if any, is done in regards to best practices in teaching ELs. To get professional development (PD)…

Muggles Do you consider yourself a Muggle? If you 're wondering what a Muggle is, then you can be certain that you are one. If you are one of the millions of people that have become entranced by the Harry Potter book series, then this question is not so perplexing. If you are not, there 's no need to get stressed out; being called a Muggle isn 't an insult, unless you 're a student of Hogwart 's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Does all of this sound confusing? Well then, step into…

standing at least she thought she was. Then Lola was being pulled and hears this old scruffy voice “come on walk faster.” She wanted to scream, yell, or do anything to get help, but she couldn’t so she just did what the mystery man said…

we came up with six questions (apart from also collecting general demographics) we wanted to ask students around the NAU Flagstaff campus. We ended up interviewing 26 undergraduate students. We found our participants throughout campus- some of us stood in the academic student union, the north campus dining area, south campus outside the business college, and outside the social and behavioral sciences building. We decided that this would give us a good variety of the majors/ages of our…
