For this research the population is the significant focus and is relatively independent of the site. The experiences of individuals will be the primary focus in this study and then the results from the qualitative study will be correlated to data provided from the Pennsylvania Department of Education on the use of student support programs and student achievement, attendance and discipline. The target population for this study will be high school students in suburban settings that have…
Execution evaluations produce a lot of uneasiness and suspicion. Episodic confirmation recommends that both representatives and chiefs see execution examinations as accomplishing an uncommon blend of pervasiveness, pointlessness and certainty (Johnson, 2004, p. 83). Albeit some worry at the considered being formally assessed is justifiable, the disastrous negative undertones encompassing execution examinations are because of a misconception of their motivation and obsolete or unseemly procedures…
It is sometimes overlooked how everything in life slowly forms you into your own individual person. According to Erikson’s theory, there are eight major stages of development. During each stage there is a “unique developmental task” that needs to be unfolded before being able to continue with a healthy development. I was questioning whether or not being raised with so many siblings if that would aid your development or hinder it. Through this life course interview I was lucky to get some…
much bigger than my fathers. My mother is also much closer to her side of the family than my dad is to his. I never knew either set of grandparents and this experience taught me more about them. I learned that my grandfather Holcomb was in World War II and my grandmother Holcomb was a welder for the war. My mom and her siblings did not have a close relationship with their father because he was an alcoholic towards their mother. This made sense to me in how my uncles treat alcohol and their own…
To Watch, or Not To Watch Enrique R. Garza ECPI University Employee surveillance is quite similar to spying on a permeant basis, and it is widely viewed as an infringement of constitutional rights of employees. If they do not wish to face an ugly lawsuit, organizations need to be more sensitive towards this issue. Technology makes it possible for employers to monitor any aspects of employees. Including telephones, computers, email and voice mail, and when employees are trolling…
fall under the Deaf Culture humor category. Should the story be filled with sign play, it would be ASL humor. If the client was impersonating, becoming the character, or using exaggerated facial expressions, then the story would be Visual humor (Holcomb, 2013). When the interpreter identifies which of the categories the client is using, the interpreter can pick out the Hearing Culture humor equivalent. For example, a joke with tension that is built up and released, could be interpreted as if…
language (L2), after a first has already been acquired, may be a different process from learning a first language (L1); it involves acquisition of a new set of arbitrary forms to re-represent an already established set of forms from L1 (Midgley, Holcomb, & Grainger, 2009). Semantic and translation priming studies utilizing vocabulary from two languages offer an informative perspective into these processing systems of second language in the mind of a bilingual or a second language learner. The…
resolve the issue (Enns 2014, 454). Their conclusion favored Athanasius and the first version of the Nicene Creed (see Appendix 1) was adopted ecumenically across the Eastern and Western Christian churches, become the new Christian profession of faith (Holcomb 2014, 38). This first version of the Nicene Creed contains critical verbiage regarding the relationship of the Father to the Son, stating they were of identical substance (homoousis). While the Holy Spirit is in the Nicene Creed, it is…
Methodology I plan to access data from a California State Hospital that was collected on approximately 200 civilly committed sexually violent predators. The data was collected at various times and over several years while the patients were committed to a secure psychiatric hospital. The information is used for purposes of diagnosis, treatment planning, and research. All participants have signed confidentiality waivers permitting the use of their data for research purposes. A number of hospital…
novel, one can already see that a murder is going to happen, for Part I is labeled as “The Last to See Them Alive.” Capote, through his vast descriptives, takes his time to get to the murder scene itself.

Capote describes the day that the Clutters died, from the start of the day until its end in great detail, so that the reader gets to know…
