There are more efficient ways to determine the amount…

In Beethoven’s string quartet Op. 18 No. 4, there is the implication that the first movement sonata form has indeed been emancipated from the looming tyranny of the minor key and that the movement will, in fact, end in C major as opposed to C minor.

The subjects were informed that the culprit “may or not be present” and then were instructed to click on the person they believed to be the culprit or on the option “not present”. Subjects then rated from 1-100 on a Likert-type scale to rate the confidence in their choices. To conclude, the…

and student achievement. The pre-survey, final survey, and check point use similar questioning within a Likert scale and open-ended responses. The results will be compared using descriptive statistics at each point of study to determine patterns. Efron and Ravid (2013), “A rating scale is used to record the extent to which specific behavior or situation exits” (p. 96). The Likert scale used focuses on the categories of a focus on student assessment data, collaborative and supportive…

amount of destruction as the wedge. The wedge tornado is the most damaging and dangerous tornadoes of them all. Always be careful when there is a wedge tornado they are very dangerous. Wedge tornadoes would be in the EF5 and up category for the EF scale, "Much like their conic counterparts, they have a wide range of intensities, and the base can look…

explanation of both this terms, is one of the most radically different to the rest of composers and scholars. For him, the difference relies in the amount of tonal centers. While polytonality must have two or more tonal centers with identical or different scales, polymodality needs only one tonic and different modes, as he observes To point out the essential difference between atonality, polytonality, and polymodality in a final word on this subject, we may say that atonal music offers no…
