readings and discussion have taught me a number of things and have changed some of my perceptions of the biological world. As I look back, a few things I learned that stand out are critical reading skills, legitimateness of evolution, the impact of evolution, and the flaws of science education. For starters, the readings were normally filled with interesting information, unlike typical textbooks, making them much easier to read. Honestly, I think this is the only class I’ve ever actually done the assigned readings, so that might explain why it took me until now to learn how to critically read. Nonetheless, this class…

brain in different species. And so, I will be embark upon this complex set of biological questions pertaining to the ways in which our genes shape our brains, how culture shape our mind, gene environment interaction, understanding emotions, how the brain processes, and comparing the brain evolution of vertebrates. We would now like to expand the possibility of this viewpoint on genes and the brain to incorporate the topic of the evolution of the human brain. During the course of the semester, as…
As technology advance, so does our way of communicating. In Michaela Cullington’s “Does Texting Affect Writing” Cullington answer the effects of textspeak, a language used in texting that is often composed of abbreviation, acronyms, and emoticon.

there is no limited for the technology. However, if you think of how our technology in these days, I will absolutely accept any ideas about technology.

Furthermore, “ Kurzweil claims that since the beginning of life on Earth, more complex life forms have been evolving exponentially faster as…

Another challenge that a new STEM teacher may face is the ability to successfully teach a lesson that may confuse some religious students, such as topics about creationism and evolution. Some teachers also find it difficult to incorporate empathy into their material and lesson in order to…
THEORY OF WRITING: ITERATION III In my first theory of writing iteration, I stated that writing was communication with words. For writing to be effective, it had to fulfil a purpose and conveyed a message successfully. Although I still believe this to be true, I also declared that effective writing involved correct usage of grammar, spelling, punctuation, organization, etc. No longer agreeing with this statement, it was the initial concept that challenged the way I view effective writing that…
