Hopley’s article centered on the art of topiary through history, which interested me as a plant-enthusiast and hopeful botanist. I also wondered why people decided that geometrically shaped plants had artistic appeal. Through this article Hopley intended to explain the history while proving the purpose and value of topiary gardens in Great Britain. This review will summarize and critique Hopley’s argument that topiary gardens have great value and will never die off as an art form. This…

Throughout my life mathematics has been something that is always pushing me to go beyond my limits and discover something new. Something that I thought I could never have achieved before. Every single time I face a new and exciting problem, I look forward to trying my best to find the best way to solve the problem. Along the years this evolved into some sort of life statement. I always wanted to try to be as exact, precise, accurate, analytic, and logical with every single issue I encountered…

Don Peck, in his article "They 're Watching You at Work," claims that more sophisticated, efficient and cost-effective technologies have altered the traditional hiring process. With ample evidence provided by the "potential power" of "data-rich" people analytics, this process will be replaced by algorithmic screening programs that eliminate the human affinity to subconsciously commit subtle yet impactful biases and ultimately benefit society by sustaining the contentment of workers (Peck 9).…

ESSAY LOGIC POST SEMINAR By, Ankur Verma Through my self-reflection of my performance after the presentations, I concluded with these self-judgments. Most successful aspect of my presentation: • Eye contact and rapport • Pronunciation of diction • Speed and precision Eye contact and rapport was quite successful. My eyes were not reading off the board and maintained my shoulders towards the audience. This posture of body language shows confidence which then also leads to less boredom by…

If Aristotle were a judge in the dispute between Creon and Antigone his verdict would favor King Creon. He would favor King Creon for several different reasons based on his philosophical ideologies. Some of his ideologies that would support this reasoning would be the rule of a man over a woman, Creon being fit to rule and not fit to be ruled, and the goal of a city and an individual.

Reading at the time was only acceptable for girls. When entering college, he…

wanes based upon positive or negative peer feedback”(qtd.in Leary,2001).

“Highly unlikely, but not outside the realm of possibility”-David Duchovny. This familiar phrase from the popular nineties television show “The X-Files” manifested itself in my mind when reading the article that profoundly influenced the University of Central Arkansas’ Honors Program, Peter Elbow’s abridged version of “The Doubting Game and the Believing Game—An Analysis of the Intellectual Enterprise (Excerpts)”. Though on a much more theatrical and improbable level, this show relates to the…
