polymers, physical properties, states of matter, catalyst and different types of energy. In this essay I will explain the movie Flubber, while still making the connections to this year's physical science class. In the beginning of the movie, the professor mentions a “propulsive polymer”. We have learned about polymers in chapter twenty-four. We learned that a polymer is a large molecule made up of smaller molecules; which are monomers. Monomers are linked together. The monomers must have…
through striking portrayals, itemized clarifications, and the "eye witnessed" records of the storyteller. On the most fundamental level, Journey is an experience story, a story of the hindrances, experiences, and ponders. The unpredictable researcher Professor Hardwigg discovers headings to the center of the earth in an old book and sets out, alongside his nephew Henry and the guide Hans, to Iceland where they discover the mountain and the pole that permits them access to the profundities of the…
talk with Professor Gregory Bernstein. I chose Professor Bernstein, because I read in his bio that he had written and sold several scripts. Becoming a writer for television and film is my goal, and the reason I chose to attend ASU, so I was interested to see what advice he could give me about the craft. When I met with Professor Bernstein we discussed how and why he became a writer, what it takes to make and sell a script, and films that we each enjoy. After introducing myself to Professor…
varying styles of teaching by different professors can greatly influence the results. Some teachers will make attendance mandatory, which in turn, will force attendance rates to go up. On the other hand, some professors will make attendance optional, and some students might take advantage of this policy and not attend class. A professor could also be a very interactive and engaging teacher who will attract most of the students to the class, while a professor with a monotonous style of teaching…
errands, checking emails and dreaming of careers that we often forget to slow down and take care of ourselves. More often times than not, we let others walk all over us because we as women just do not have the courage to speak up and say no. In Professor Jovanović’s book “Hey Ladies, Stop Apologizing…and Other Career Mistakes Women Make (HLSA)”, she articulates many of the complex mistakes that women make in regards to their career by emphasizing on their lack of awareness and bad habits.…
into college and adults. Overall the girls do not really talk a lot, but they all seem engaged in learning what Professor Nirider has to say. They act as a very close-knit group, always willing to help another student do the moves and actively working with Professor Nirider. The class emits this overall positive and open feeling, which is a key component in a beginning dance class. Professor Nirider really expresses her passion for dance in the energy and positive attitude she puts into…
Many people believe that an intelligent person are more likely going to life a happy life, but this movies shows otherwise. It really shows how that even intelligent people don’t always have it easy in life. The main character, Will, is portrayed as a genius but lives in a poverish like life style. Rather than use his talents to the best of his ability he would often hang out with friends. They would typically would do delinquent (not juvenile delinquent) like activities and get themselves in…

expression” the community will lose value if we take away people’s abilities to speak on their own beliefs (2). I agree with Frischler that people are becoming more timid to share their ideas and that the universities need to make sure that their professors are not promoting one-sided ideas in their classrooms. Darren L. Linvill also spoke on the subject in his article “The Bias Fallacy” written in 2013. Linvill goes more in depth about how the bias teaching is affecting the students, he states…
Throughout my exploratory essay there was an objective tone instead of a subjective tone. This tone helped me write an efficient exploratory essay in which I include factual evidence and textual analysis towards the topic of segmented assimilation in which specific generations go through, as they adjust to a new culture and society. Instead of including emotions and my opinion on the situation, I had to use historical resources, via web or journals, such as social studies. The medium of this…
