“disability” and “using”. I chose this article because the research was accepted and published three years ago, therefore making it timely and appropriate. I also chose this article because it compares the use of iPads as opposed to picture based flashcards, which is different than the other studies I have recently come across. Question 2: The foundation of the research in this article is based on the author 's conducted literature review of…

One of the key tenets of transcendentalism states that, in so many words, technology is wrong and the advancement of such devices only serve to create problems. While this may be true in some respects, history has shown to the contrary. From inventions to make farming more efficient to creating a phone that does everything with a tap from your finger, technology has transformed the way the world works for the better. Technology, despite its negative consequences, has led to many important…

Dunlosky describes many study skills in this article, some beneficial, and some have no effect to them. I had the chance to look in depth on how effective my own study skills and also look into other effective ways of studying techniques that I could possible learn to use in the future. The study skills I personally like to use include: highlighting, practice testing, and interleaved practice. According to the author of this article, Dunlosky, highlighting and underlining can be beneficial if…

Ms. Corey gave me flashcards with words on them. I took the cards home so my dad could help me. This time, he made it into a game my mom vs me. The winner would get some delicious vanilla ice-cream. After we finished the ice cream, my mom and I knew how to pronounce all the…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to use advances in technology to make the commute to college more productive for students living off-campus. This topic would fall under Education because it focuses on postsecondary education students and aims to solve one of their problems. Introduction: According to the 2011-2012 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, only about twelve percent of United States undergraduate students live on-campus (Radwin, et al). That leaves a vast majority of…

For my research and reflection essay, I have chosen the Warlpiri. The Warlpiri are a cultural group comprised of approximately 3,000 individuals located in Northern Australia. The Warlpiri participate in a traditional lifestyle in which hunting and gathering is the preferred method of obtaining food. The majority of the Warlpiri also reside within extended family structures and chose to live and sleep outdoors (Bavin, 2012). I found the Warlpiri to be well-suited for this research question due…

Danielle’s career-focused intents started young. The first job she can remember wishing for was to do missionary work out of the country, and the only route to do the job was to pursue medical school, and with a fear of blood and needles, that wasn’t an option. Growing up, her first paid job was done “under the table.” At around 4 years old, she was enrolled in dance classes, and every day she tried to sneak into the other classrooms. “I am not a very fluid mover, I was a very stiff child, like…

personal goals, values, and future. I was partly right in my assumptions. The "GoBe" did indeed help me identify my goals, values, and what direction I'm traveling in, but on a more personal than professional basis. We (the students) were given flashcards in five different colors, and each color had a total of six cards in the stack. So six blue, six red, and so on until color number five. We were assigned categories for each color stack as follows, material values, people we value, places we…

Only bring what you need for your study session. This includes paper, highlighters, pens/pencils, flashcards, textbooks, and other supplemental materials that are part of your study plan. Any unnecessary electronic device will be detrimental to your studying. It is too easy to be distracted by a text message or funny online video. Silence your phones,…

I improved, my anxieties dwindled. They were still there, but less of the huge barrier that they seemed to be before. My skills in Spanish weren’t awful; I was capable of success. I wrote out paragraphs and paragraphs of possible answers. I made flashcards, and notes, and tested my vocabulary. I felt more secure than ever before. I had managed to work past my habit of last minute revision. But on the final morning, I still struggled to vocalise my thoughts. My body froze and I reverted to my…
