Interrogative word

For my community builder I decided that I wanted to interview someone from Freshman Class Council. This is when I reached out to the president, Darren Johnson Jr. to set up an interview. The reason I wanted to interview him and the Freshman Class Council in general was, that they do so much for the freshman class and that impressed me from the day I got on campus. Through my interview I found out a lot of information about what Freshman Class Council is and what they do. On September, 27 I got…

I chose the text “A Very Clever Possum” (Joseph, 1999) because it is one that students may be able to relate to, because possums are fairly common in New Zealand (dependent on location) and it provides opportunities to develop discussions before, during and after the text has been read, which will “enhance the students understanding of what they are reading” (Bidulph, 2002, p.1). I believe that an effective guided reading lesson can be produced from this story. I have chosen to introduce the…

specific options, the choices are not very diverse therefore the option “Other” is offered providing they give details. There is only one instance where an open-ended question is used. Open-ended questions allow the respondents to answer in their own words. This asks the respondent to “Please add any other comments you want to make about this doctor.” The fact that the survey includes more close-ended questions than open ended questions may indicate that the person conducting the survey is…

For the philosophical dialogue I asked the philosophical question: “Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place?” I asked this question mainly because in science, scientists have to take risks and often fail many times before they succeed. The scientific world would be very different if scientist never attempted to do half of the things they did. Trial and error are key factors in scientific discoveries. My thoughts about this subject before I entered the dialogue…

Recently I discovered a new love for speaking to and learning about the lives and opinions of other people. I had been involving myself in more quality conversations with anyone from teachers to relatives, and each discussion left me wanting to replicate it with as many people as possible, but how would I incorporate this love into something useful? Fortunately, this discovery tied perfectly to an option on the list of ideas for my History 104 final project. For this reason, I chose to…

For this assignment, I interviewed Felicia Low, a Program Advisor at the School of Public Health. This interview taught me a lot about myself and my interpersonal communication skills when it comes to communication on a one-on-one basis. Prior to the interview, I was a bit nervous since I did not know Mrs. Low personally and never communicated with her face-to-face. I prepared to conduct the interview in a way that it would feel like a normal conversation and not a regular interview. For…

question, are we digging deep enough? Jesus says, As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away… As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in…

In The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, the main character, Holden Caulfield, has many issues. He likes to push his problems onto others, judge them with his internal thought, and isn’t willing to work on any of his personal issues. Holden Caulfield doesn’t take responsibility for his actions and tends to blame society for his problems. Whenever Holden has a bad experience, he’s very quick to blame society and other people around him. For example, Holden blames the general population…

result, I came to believe that the world is safe and that all people can be trusted. I developed positive thought, emotional (happy and content), and behavioral patterns, such as asking people questions if I ever needed advice, for example. In other words, my thought patterns led me to say, “If I ask for help, I will receive it.” However, I also believe that I’m an unworthy person, for…

overwhelmingly positive or negative reaction to physician-assisted suicide. Out of the 20 people that I surveyed, 75% of them knew what physician-assisted suicide was. When I asked for the first word that came to mind when thinking of physician-assisted suicide I was surprised at the amount of reassuring words I received. Answers were ranging from compassion, relief, and peace, to death being the most common reoccurring negative interpretation. One of the main observations that I made was people…
