I want to be a doctor, an artist, a scientist, and a poet. My dreams are grandiose, but I have taught about these things often. I chose my Biology Professor Danny Najera from Green river College to interview. I chose Dr. Najera because he is a research scientist who is passionate about his work. Danny is not the typical scientist. He is a funny, sarcastic character. This man is not clean shaven rather he can be described as a rough, ruddy man. His hair is long, and his face not shaven. His…
The behavior of nest sanitation includes the removal of eggshells, fecal sacs, non-viable hatchlings, and undigested food (Ibáñez-Álamo, Ruiz-Raya, Roncalli, & Soler, 2014). This costly expense is not found in every species, and perhaps has adapted in part to its reproductive advantage (Tinbergen, 1963). Many studies have tested to see if removal of excrements decreases parasites and predators. These hypotheses have received mixed support between studies on the same species as well as between…
‘Sexual Assault and Depressive Symptoms in College Students: Do Psychological Needs Account for the Relationship?’ focuses on the correlation between fulfillment of basic psychological needs and how it affects the levels of depression of sexual assault victims in college students. Many studies in the past have found that the reason for higher depressive symptoms in college students was often connected to students with low satisfaction of their basic psychological needs, such as competence,…
momentum of events that precede it. In theory, your whole existence, with your unique traits, quirks, and idiosyncrasies, could be predicted if only we had the scientific capability to calculate it. An explanation and cause to every single behavior in life could be predicted. If we had a slice of time, frozen and able to be observed. Given a scientific capacity to be able to quantify life more accurately, that is, a working model about the forces governing nature and life. Everything fits a…
Elementary Teacher In my opinion, this was a perfect lesson. Students knew all the procedures (going to the carpet at the start of the lesson, and quietly going to their seats afterwards). The room looked great and conducive to student learning. I really liked how the teacher used technology to keep the students engaged. When I filled out the observation sheet, I was only focusing on what I saw, and all the areas were rated as High in terms of student engagement. I feel that the amount of time…
In this paper we will be diving into the amazing world of Biological Psychology and how the Gender of patients can influence psychological behaviors. First and foremost, we will start with the question, “What is Biological Psychology?” Biological Psychology is the application of the principals of biology to the study of genetic, physiological, and developmental mechanisms of behavior in humans and other animals (Behavioral neuroscience. (n.d.)). Biological Psychology is the only approach in…
During my time at IHOP I observed some very interesting things about todays society. Before I entered the establishment I noticed a happy family returning to their car. So I made the assumption that these observations would all be the same because of possibly of great service and environment. I was gravely mistaken. I walked into IHOP and was seated in a great spot to observe people. The situations I observed were; a group of 5 teenager girls, a old man by himself, and it seemed to be two female…
The strategic management of resource dependence theory is described “…that organizational survival hinges on the ability to procure critical resources from the external environment.” (Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005, p. 167) The competitive advantage of unique resources that are limited reduces the percentage of imitation that is obtainable from other organisations within the same field and external environment. With focus purely on resources, it creates an uncertain environment for most firms which…
Abstract Research has shown that there is a major vocabulary gap between English Learners and non-English Learners. Several studies indicate math vocabulary to be an area of big concern. There are various strategies to help English Learners with this frustrating task. This action research project focuses on the use of a vocabulary strategy, using the Frayer Model, a graphic organizer, to help English Learners use and understand math vocabulary. The participants for this study are three third…
Qualitative research studies have been utilized in multiple studies and this approach provides an unique position to conduct questions in regards to the social world (Hesse-Biber, 2017). Qualitative research practices allow for researchers to gather a deeper understanding of social behaviours. It is important for researchers that implement this practice to conduct a reflexive study. Moreover, a well done qualitative study allows readers to easily follow and understand the information and results…
