decided to pursue a CSE doctoral degree in the US later because his long-term career goal was to become a professor in the CSE discipline. His strong motivation stimulated him to actively participate in his professors’ research and create opportunities to practice his English. In his fourth college year, he voluntarily engaged in two research projects and presented results at a CSE conference in Taiwan. In addition, he sometimes wrote assignments and exam questions in English to practice his English writing. Nevertheless, he reported that he did not receive training in English academic writing. His instructors also did not provide writing feedback so he was unable to learn from the practices. Moreover, English courses he took centered more …show more content…
After the research job, he pursued a CSE doctoral degree in the US. He started to work as a research assistant in his advisor’s research team in the second semester. In the doctoral program, teaching materials were in English. All assignments, lab reports, meetings notes, conference proposals, and publications were written in English. In his advisor’s research team, he had numerous opportunities to collaboratively conduct research with other doctoral students and experienced researchers. Moreover, their team meetings were intensive (approximate three times per week). He, thus, had various opportunities to listen to and discuss CSE-related research with other team members. One of notable features of his advisor’s research team is their mentorship system. Each novice doctoral student would be paired with an experienced researcher who would be a major mentor and assisted the novice in undertaking team research and writing conference proposals and publications. The role of his advisor was more like a supervisor who monitored the last version of conference proposals and publications. In addition, senior researchers had more opportunities to work close with his advisor whereas novices worked close to their individual mentors (senior researchers). The shift of language and academic culture from Chinese to English greatly
“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.
Bonnie Green, Chief Estimator, agreed that in a normal year only slight delays might develop due to a shortage of labor. However, she pointed out that for such a large project, the company would have to use unionized employees and that the construction industry labor agreements with New York City were to expire on October 30, 2004. Past experience and current construction activity in the surrounding area indicated that any union tradesman would support a strike against the city. Since this is a public project, she estimates that there is a 50% chance that they would strike this project to gain the attention of the national media.
Sally Dingo the author of Ernie Dingo the King of the Kids, positions us as we read through the book for us to feel almost we had known him all through his life, and that we are like mates toward him. we may feel sympathy for one of their beloved family member dies or admiration for Ernie’s sporting talents in basketball, he was usually called ‘show pony’.
The courtroom bustles with the activity and chatter of a hundred different noble families, and their cousins on top of that. Veronique purses her lips at the head of the table, watching the incessant gossip of one woman pass onto another. The servants scramble with plates of food and bottles of wine alike, back and forth across the marbled floor. She does not know – or rather, she knows very well – why Caine insists on the constant socialisation. He flits about from noble to noble, like some sort of graceless hummingbird, laughing or frowning when he must. The mask is wonky on his face, clinging around his temples far too tightly, and pulling away from his nose as if repulsed. It is, all in all, quite the sight, she thinks. Veronique
V2 grimaced as he folded his arms across his chest. A local carnival had arrived in town and was stationed in the open lot across from Toshizou's manor. For the most part, V2 hated crowds of people, they drove him mad, not to mention the odor their bodies gave off when V2 was close enough to smell the blood that ran through their very veins.
Policy design of the transportation system has long used statistics of typical economic indicators of ridership to find ways where the system is in need of corrections to operate in a more effective and efficient manner. This usually is concerned with preventing congestion at peak times or removing routes on time slots that are not financially efficient, based on the numbers and frequencies of ridership. Recently, psychologists, social scientists, behavioural economists and researchers in other disciplines have been looking beyond these issues and are looking into the importance of subjective well-being (SWB), related to commuter’s evaluations of their quality of life in addition to typical economic indicators to discover what previous
When searching for the university or college that you need to apply for you should do your research. You should start your research 12-18 months in advance to give yourself the most time (and slightest anxiety). Each U.S. University and collage sets its own particular admission standards and chooses which candidates meet those standards. In this manner, you should apply independently to every university or college. Most universities in the USA encourage imminent worldwide understudies to contact their admissions office no less than one year before intending to enter that university.
“Yes, I do Soldier, but that doesn't give you the right to taunt or steal things from a person.” replied Jacob. He knew that starting an argument with a soldier would land him in some some big trouble, and would keep him away from his motives, so he quickly apologized and swept away. He would soon come to know that that conversation would have affected him.
Peter turns around and mutters to Karen to deactivate the interrogation mode and I look back at Davis, a serious look on my face. If I have to play a serious part in this, I was gonna do it good. I took three theater classes and passed them all with a C+, come get me Harvard.
After gaining insights of the history of the development of the SMEs and the motivational factors of young entrepreneurs to establish a business, there is potential obstacles that young entrepreneurs might face in financial options from the start-up. SMEs have difficulties in having access to formal finance and are more financially constrained than larger enterprises. According to Beck and Demirguc-Kunt (2016)’s survey, “the probability that a small firm lists financing as a major obstacle (as opposed to moderate, minor or no obstacle) is 39% compared to 36% for medium-size firms and 32% for large firms.” The result shows that SMEs have a harder time than large enterprises in accessing to finance options. For a reason, Beck and
Ever since the “United Socialist Party of Venezuela” took control of the country’s affairs in 1999, the economic situation has worsened with the passage of time. Throughout the years, careless and corrupt government officials have enacted policies that focus on benefitting high-ranked party members and their families, making the majority of citizens suffer under terrible circumstances. Among these circumstances we can find the long queues that people have to go through to access basic goods because of the critical shortages of products. This situation leads me to an unforgettable anecdote that I have kept in my memory for a long time. I remember that one day when I was 14 years old, my brother Leonardo picked me up from school at 1 p.m. As
On the morning of the fourth day, while every nation was still piling and burning millions of dead Christians, plans were being drawn by the larger nations to aid underdeveloped countries. Smaller countries who had no reserves to rely on needed world support to maintain a meager existence. What farm animals that survived were no longer to roam freely in the pastures. They were penned and guarded like gold bullion. Every breeding technique was used to replenish the food supply. Severe punishment was given to anyone caught killing an animal that could be bred.
