calendars as well. The Royal Academy of Sciences sold these calendars that both made. During one of Maria's nightly observation she studied and discovered a previously unknown comet on April 21, 1702 (The eclipse of an astronomer; Tail of a comet). But the discovery of the comet was written under her husband's name. Maria still continued to work during these years.

When I attend there I go to the activities room and in the room they regularly play a game of relations for example if a person says “classroom” everyone else has to thing of things in the classroom or has a relationship with…

Participating and observing the different interactions in Oliver Hall among the students and Sodexo workers I focused first on students I knew, because I did not want to assume their race/ethnicity based on looks. From observing this I noticed that students whose race/ethnicity fell under the category of a minority (Black/African American, Latino(a)/American) seem to have more meaningful conversations than other races/ethnicities. It was difficult to analyze each conversation because there was…

Domenica Suri ADV3500 Sunday 19, 2017 Assignment 4 According to the class, observation is known to be a systematic data collection approach during which researchers use all of their senses to examine people in their natural setting or natural occurring situation (McDonald, 2017, pp.1). When I started this observation, I didn't know what I was looking for, so I just did the question “What is going on here?” Doing this question, it opens the possibility of a lot of things. First, this is such a…

Daniel was observed during the afternoon in his second grade class. At the start of the observation, the class was engaged in a reading activity on the carpet. Daniel’s teacher, Mrs. Parker, gave him permission to step away from the activity. Daniel appeared confused as he headed in the direction of the observer. Mrs. Parker then verbally redirected Daniel to the bathroom. After using the bathroom, Daniel headed to his “cubby” and pulled out materials as directed by his teacher. The class,…

drama shows, Alsultaney suggested that many writers and producers presented Arabs and Muslims as friendly to America by being patriotic, government agents or victims of racism. Here detailed observation of a dozen drama shows yielded a clear representation of Muslims as FBI agents, Homeland Security Aids or good citizens who cooperate with the government against terrorist targets. Despite the positive representations of Arabs/Muslims that influence…

encounter in our everyday life and observe ourselves throughout these situations. The two situations I chose to observe myself at, was my volleyball practice and in my organic chemistry class. I chose these two specifically because I know my observations of my self would be vastly different in these scenarios. Step #2: For each situation I would say I put up a different front. At my volleyball practice I put on a more athletic and competitive front. Whereas in organic chemistry class I put…

2. My answer for this question, the explanation that is the easiest to understand is the best explanation, is wrong because the explanation that is without the extra assumptions should be preferred, even though it might not be the easiest to understand. Occam's Razor centers around this idea that if you hear hoof beats think horse, not zebra. A horse should first come to mind because it is the most likely explanation and more commonly found to be the answer. I honestly think the wording tripped…

I remember the question from my kindergarten class like it was yesterday, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Of course at the time, I wanted to be a princess, vet, rock star, teacher, or doctor. I’d stand up, proud with a smile on my face, and rattle off the list. Looking back on that moment in time, I would’ve never guessed what my dream was going to be. I was always the kid looking to help others, go the extra mile, make adjustments, and put a smile on your face. I fell in love with…
