The article “Barcode of Life” by Mark Y. Stoeckle and Paul D. N. Hebert shows the fairly new emerging field of classifying species based on a small bit of genetic code found on an enzyme in the mitochondria called cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1 (Pg. 84). The enzyme was chosen because it had enough base pairs (648) to be able to differentiate species, but not long enough to take too much time to read. This new way of categorizing different species arose from the age-old way of categorizing…
that she had to follow to score a high score. Students in the course had to judge the performance of the mock interview with a rubric given by the Instructor. Eye contact, hand shake, not saying umm and making sure to answer the questions wisely, and asking two questions at the end of the interview was graded the hardest in this simulated performance. Next, the performance exam involved me. I and some other colleagues were sitting around at a table. Everyone decided that we would see…
Loftus and Palmers 1974 study, the experiment lacked ecological validity and for the purpose of reinforcing the idea of reconstructive memory Loftus and Palmer had explored. Replicated from Loftus and Palmer 1974, my aim is to examine how leading questions could change recollection of memory.

Also, I realized that I am not at all useless, because it only takes one student for me to feel that I’m actually helping someone learn. With this said, I did get to interact with one student. She had asked me a question regarding a term covered on the team quiz that she didn’t understand well. This was my first time helping a student with a concept-based question as a peer mentor.…
having to conduct this focus group with no prior experience, as well as not being able to base hers off of a previous moderator is very difficult. Just by going first it showed she had a lot of key characteristics you need to have to be an effective moderator by stepping up and being courageous to conduct this first out of everybody. For Sarah’s focus group I feel that her opening question was extremely effective, having each participant elaborate on their craziest story in the dorms was very…
While Mr. Gilman asks Mayella to describe what happened that night, she doesn’t answer. Mr. Gilman begins to ask more specific questions and she answers with minimal answers. When the judge asks her to tell the court what happened, she bursts into tears. The judge tries to comfort her telling her that she has no cause for shame as long as she tells the truth and that Mr. Finch isn’t…
(2) Somewhat ironically, he emphasizes this point with a fair amount of imagery, comparing the brain’s perceptions to “seeds into a furrowed field” and “sparks into a keg of powder” , evoking a sort of pathos that appeared to be absent in previous paragraphs. (2) This may actually be an attempt to widen the essay’s appeal - these similes are not quite as enveloped in complex language as other parts of the essay are, therefore making the expressed ideas much more accessible. This slightly more…
This category asks questions about work quality, information used to complete work, and the employees knowledge about the organization as a whole. I found that this was only section where leaders and employees agreed on one question stating that the employees now how the measures they use in their work fit into the organization’s overall measures of improvement. But on the…
their attention on me, they were not focusing on the Brainpop that was happening on screen. Brainpops are two to three minute videos about a literary theme or a classic novel. After watching the video twice, the teacher will give the class a ten question quiz. This week was Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Once the class settled down enough to do the quiz, I sat and observed…
