I was a part of Atoosa’s thesis committee as her consulting advisor. During that time, I noticed that she worked well independently and under little supervision and developed practical knowledge in an interdisciplinary area of evolutionary robotics. I was impressed with the level of effort and determination she put into elaborating as well as composing her thesis. It is also worth mentioning that she was a well-organized and highly-motivated graduate student and capable of facing new challenges, who could conduct her research with minimum
At first I was not sure what I should put, but then when I starting thinking about it, it came pretty easily. However I did have a difficult time thinking about what I can’t change because I try not to focus on that.

As part of my Business Innovation Development Project Unit, I had the opportunity to put myself into group with my friends or people I believed I could work well with. In the first stages of our group we all tried to get to know each other more through analysing personality and learning types’ test that we previously undertook. I realise we were going through the normal stages of the team formation in particular forming and norming (Tuckman, 1965). In my assignment group we had all Belbin team roles which helped us perform well throughout our project and also helped us to identify other team members’ behavioural strengths and weaknesses. During the initial stages of the group getting together I believed it was
I recently had the opportunity to attend my first American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) conference in which I was looking forward to learning new skills and ideas. After sitting in on a presentation at the conference, I noticed the presenter had used the same slides I had used during my Pecha Kucha presentation at graduate school. The slides she presented were of my pictures, ideas, and videos. After the presentation was over, I had the opportunity to talk to her about the presentation so I asked her how she came about the idea. She admitted that she had seen something similar online, but said she adapted it to fit her presentation. However, the slides she presented at the conference where the ones from my project and were not adapted in any way. After giving her presentation a little more thought, I realized that she was gaining recognition for work I did and she neglected to provide any form of reference suggesting she used my idea. With all I had learned in undergraduate and graduate schools, I knew a proper citation of my work was required, otherwise it is a form of plagiarism and violates my work. The fact
This essay is a reflective essay on my learning development from a young age through to my current position as a University Student. I will be relating my learning development back to two theories of human development, Vygotstsky’s socio-cultural theory and Marcia’s version of Erikson’s theory of identity development. I will identify and discuss the challenge I have faced with my identity and how this has impacted on my development.
For the last year and a half, I worked for the ASA (FM&C), whose mission is to prepare, present and support the Army budget to Congress, and to manage the approved and effective use of appropriated resources to complete the Army’s mission. ASA (FM&C) also provides propitious, correct, and trustworthy financial information to allow leaders and managers to include cost concerns into their decision-making. Additionally, ASA (FM&C) delivers transparent reporting to Congress regarding the use of appropriated resources, the accomplishment of approved Army-wide performance objectives, and oversee coordinated programs for the accession, training, and development of Army resource managers. ASA (FM&C) organized with one Director and four Deputies controls
I am interested in taking English llA because I want to challenge myself into learning more things and becoming a better writer. Throughout the year I have learned to improve my writing skills by learning how to use MLA citations properly which were different from the way I used them in middle school. I was glad I learned more about this which fixed my writing and will help me later in writing essays. Given a chance to take English IIA, I would be able to learn numerously more skills and widen my variety of
Vital signs are a fundamental component of nursing care and indicate the body’s ability to maintain blood flow, regulate temperature and regulate oxygenate the body tissue.

Consciousness is the outcome of billions of years of natural selection and randomized occurrences that gave us life and the ability to be self sustaining, self controlling and self repairing. In terms of evolution we did not start with possessing a consciousness, in fact we developed one in order to became the humans we are today. What if in fact, robotic creation is the same, they are on their own evolutionary track of improvement and progression until a conscious state is achieved. In this paper I will argue there is no true opposing argument. I will highlight that there is a possibility for the garage built robot, Hal to have become a conscious entity because a machine being conscious does not contradict any

It was in fall 2012 that I was answering the application questionnaire from Athabasca University with asking why I would like to apply to Athabasca, my short term, and long terms goals, and what I hoped to gain from this masters program. Going back and reading my answers in winter 2016 I see that I have come a long way. So much has changed in my professional and personal life and this journey has been nothing but amazing. I came into the course with a background in distance education already. I was already a certified course creator from the United States working with various LMS systems. I was fortunate enough to publish a book on course evaluation and also being a project coordinator for having the book published in another language. I already

When we are born an obvious expression we see is crying. Newborns cry when they are hungry, sleepy, uncomfortable or as a response to a loud noise. A newborn's cry expresses distress. Newborns also tend to cry when they hear other newborns cry.
