Scales

Personal Philosophy After completing the leadership inventory, I came to find that I had equal amounts of each of the four leadership styles. Personally, I thought my primary leadership style was analytical and my secondary leadership style was supportive. I did not see myself as being directive or adaptive, so I was surprised at the results. By having equal amounts of all four leadership styles, I will be able to use all the different characteristics of these leadership styles to aid in my…

Occasionally, once I opened “YouTube”, in recommended videos, I saw a video which name is “To Scale: The Solar System”. With the curiosity, I opened and watched the video. On a dry lakebed in Nevada, A team of LA filmmakers of people build a “true illustration of our place in the universe” -- the first scale model of the solar system with complete planetary orbits. At the beginning of the video, I was immediately attracted to it. It shows nothing else, but two sentences from James (James Irwin,…

and student achievement. The pre-survey, final survey, and check point use similar questioning within a Likert scale and open-ended responses. The results will be compared using descriptive statistics at each point of study to determine patterns. Efron and Ravid (2013), “A rating scale is used to record the extent to which specific behavior or situation exits” (p. 96). The Likert scale used focuses on the categories of a focus on student assessment data, collaborative and supportive…

causes great destruction. The diameter of a tornado varies from a few feet to a mile; the rotating winds may attain velocities of 200 to 300 mi (320–480 km) per hr, and the updraft at the center may reach 200 mi per hr. The Enhanced Fujita scale is the standard scale for rating the severity of a tornado as measured by the damage it causes. A tornado is usually accompanied by thunder, lightning, heavy rain, and a loud "freight train" noise. In comparison with a cyclone or hurricane, a tornado…

CORRELATIONS BETWEEN MY CD "COMPOSITIONAL IMPROVISATIONS™ FROM THE "MYSTERIA", AND "COMPOSITIONAL IMPROVISATIONS VOL I: WATER": Because these are improvisations, the use of the motives in the templates is to some extent arbitrary, as choices were made "in the moment" of improvisation--which is one of the most important aspects of the templates, one that can bring tremendous spontaneity to a performance. Other motives not in this template are used in the course of these improvisations as well,…

are designed to provide facts and information for forum discussion and face-to-face interactions”. The reliability of the four-item scale computed using Cronbach’s alpha is 0.854. Stage 2: Online Discussion The online discussion is measured using a five-item scale and the score for each subject is a summed score across the five items, using a five-point Likert scale ranging from 5 = strongly agree to 1 = strongly disagree. The forum topics mimic the real-world situations in the classroom so…

Before we talk about measurement scales and why they matter we should first explain what they are. A compound measure allows us to measure different aspects of a topic people would find complex. This topic could range from stem cell research to abortion to gun control. The good thing about compound measures is they have a general reliability to them. What I mean is, if an error is made it often does not make the whole measurement go wrong. Compound measures should have several different…

a tornado? The first topic I will be telling you about is the F scale. Did you know the person who invented the F scale went to the University of Chicago. The second topic is about tornadoes and about 1,200 tornadoes hit the U.S. each year. My final topic is over storm chasers. I learned that storm chasers park southeast of the tornado because usually it is the safest place to park. There are two different types of scales.The F scale was developed by Dr. Theodore Fujita. After the tornado hits,…

The Broken Scale Oppression and privilege our broken scale, with one end as light as a feather and the other as dense as a rock. The rock represents an application of tyranny used to rule a group of people, which is known as oppression. The feather is not being chastised or subjected to certain events, which is privilege. In Susan M. Shaw and Janet Lee’s book Women’s Voices and Feminist Visions by bell hooks Feminism is For Everybody shows the relationship between oppression and privilege these…

explanation of both this terms, is one of the most radically different to the rest of composers and scholars. For him, the difference relies in the amount of tonal centers. While polytonality must have two or more tonal centers with identical or different scales, polymodality needs only one tonic and different modes, as he observes To point out the essential difference between atonality, polytonality, and polymodality in a final word on this subject, we may say that atonal music offers no…
