Crucial Accuracy

Like summarizing, and writing an essay I knew how to do it, but going in and listening to the speaker explain it to us helped a lot. I learned more on how to use the thesaurus, and all the different skills he taught us on using key words to looks information up.

Taylor Sampson interviewed Jay Welsh, current Florida Virtual School instructor in Journalism and seasoned broadcast journalist to talk to him about the career of journalism. When asked what would all aspiring journalists study and do before entering the profession he states “Number one is a great writing education. Very little is done without a script, and you are responsible for writing that script.” He also says to follow your passion “There is all types of different fields (for journalism careers). Mine was sports. For others it might be politics, fashion, wild life.” He even says every aspect of life has a journalist path. “The last thing would have to be comfortable speaking. You’re going to be in front of people. It can be a bit egotistical if you like being the center of attention; because that’s what you are.”

The first step to achieving my position in this discourse community included familiarizing myself with the intellect and style of writing that was required for journalists. In my freshman year of high school, I took Journalism as one of my electives. This course taught the basic knowledge that comes with journalism that includes journalistic ethics, writing, and skills. I was able to logistically prove myself to the members of the newspaper discourse community by abiding by the ethical values of journalism. I was able to know the difference between slander, a spoken defamatory statement, and libel, a written defamatory statement I was successfully able avoid it in my assignments. Similarly, I studied the Associated Press Stylebook (AP) that is a required resource to know for journalistic writing. Through this, I was able to effectively write my assignments knowing that instead of a thesis, I will have a lead that is thirty five words or less. I knew that my writing would vary depending on the type of story I was assigned. For example, a news story follows a certain quote-transition format to emphasize the sources while an editorial piece would follow a different format catering to its persuasive nature.

Abstract: The objective of the lab is to determine the volumes of the polystyrene spheres with three different measuring tools: Water Displacement, Analytical Scale, and Triple Beam Balance Scale. The experiment is meant to help understand the concept and application of precision and accuracy in experimental measurements. Accuracy is a measure of how closely the results of repeated measurements are to the true value of what is being measured. Precision is the variability in the results from the repeated measurements, and how close the repeated measurements were to one another. In this lab, the method for measuring the volume of the polystyrene spheres is done with the previously stated tools: Water Displacement, Analytical Scale, and Triple Beam Balance Scale. The standard deviation for the entire classes volumes and masses are recorded to determine the densities.

You will find and analyze the central idea of a work, including the use of quotes from the work to support your analysis. You will determine an author’s point of view and how their writing furthers their point of view in the work. You will organize and take part in a group discussion, including responding to the answers and point of view of the other participants.

"Journalism isn't just writing," Clara said to the student audience, describing the 'wide scope' of tasks in her typical day. From flicking through social media, keeping up with gossip, and compiling opinions on a recent trend, Clara has a range of articles to present to her readers.

To achieve a good volumetric technique, the experimenter needs to be able to correctly complete certain procedures.

It helped me to take a step back and get to know each individual student and have a relationship with each of my students. It also helped me to understand that I need to arrange my lessons around my students needs and what makes sense to them and what they can relate to on a personal level. Each student is different and each student learns and understands materials in a differnent way and each student needs to be

Since I was a young girl I’ve always been known for putting people up on what’s going on around me because I always am aware and paying attention. I love doing this because I am able to keep people updated while showcasing my personality. This all relates back to why I find Broadcast journalism the most interesting facet, I’d love to publish reports in a electrical way. If I attend Manual my passion and learning for this subject will only deepen. This is because I don’t know a lot about journalism so I’d be able to learn while being given

I learned what kind of influence pundits have on our culture, news, and opinions. They impact a majority of what we believe, as they feed us perspectives that allow us to criticize our own. We are forced to rethink our own views and evaluate what we are reading.

I have attended every class meeting in order to voice my concerns with the quality of articles we have been receiving and brainstorm on ways to create smoother transitions. I have also opened up the lines of communication from contributing writers to ensure that articles are being promoted

The main idea that I learned this week was to always remember that just because you hear something being reported on the news don’t mean that you are getting all the facts. Additionally in today’s society because of the advances in technology we have the ability to learn about events in almost instantaneous and many stations rush to get the story out first without verifying all the facts first. This teaches us that it is additionally our responsibility to always follow a story using various sources in addition to researching the facts ourselves to ensure we are getting the complete unbiased truth. It was through our discussions this week that we shared ideas substantiating this
