Life is about challenging yourself intellectually in order to succeed. I had to challenge myself intellectually in my Physics 11 class. Physics 11 involves a lot critical thinking and connection making in order to understand the concepts. Also, my teacher didn't speak fluent English which made it very difficult to understand, and he didn't give any notes either. I had to adjust to how my teacher taught us, which was difficult, but it helped challenge me intellectually. I made a decision to do as much work as I needed to do well in this class. Every class I made my own notes and reviewed them at home. The textbook I received from my teacher, I used to investigate key ideas for the chapter we learned that day. At home I did the questions the
Light passed through a transmission grating is often sent in all directions due to interference. The grating acts as a new wave source and causes the light to travel in different paths. Equation 1 below shows the relationship between path difference and light direction due to constructive interference. D represents the line spacing and sinƟ=a/c according to the drawing below.
Task Description:The world communicates by making extensive use of the electromagnetic spectrum. For the average person this is commonly accessed using radio waves. These radio waves may be over the AM or FM radio wave bands or the radio waves that transmit our television signals. Not only are people always within a ‘phone call of each other anywhere in the world they are also able to find out exactly where in the world they are by use of

During my undergraduate career, I have learn a lot more than what was taught in the classroom. It was an experience that you cannot describe in words; something you can only experience. Luckily, I had environment that encouraged me to explore beyond what a textbook has to over via instructor, counselor or peer. When your challenges are arranged as a journey of learning, surrounded by a supportive environment, the wonders you can learn about the world are endless.
Because it’s an Amphora, the jar has 2 handles that start about 1/3 of the way down the piece, go straight up and come back in at about a 45o-50o angle where they meet the top of the jar. As for the body, it starts with a small foot and immediately budges into a propane tank sized body. From there it thins into a neck that stays a consistent size all the way up to the mouth of the piece; the neck is about the same size as a small can of paint. To me, it seems this piece would be an expensive luxury item. The Greco-Roman-Parthian influence on the piece along with the addition of the Egyptian deity, 3D ornaments and bright and unique color seems to be the making of a costume made Amphora for a wealthy Roman buyer that was in the cult of Serapis.
When a person is on the verge of failing a course, if they catch the failing grade fast enough, there are many things they can change to reach success in the course. The things they make different may have been their downfall to begin with. They could have never studied. While it is great to take good notes in class, what good are the notes if they are never practically used? Another part of studying is to look at the textbook outside of a classroom setting, and in college the student must buy the books don’t let them go to waste. To study properly
Hi Sheehan, being a student it is always hard to do as we think for all our classes. My major is computer science as well and I remember when I took programming class it was too much for me. We often get frustrated and stressed out about our homework, test and exam, but eventually we have to do them and we do it too. I kind of feel its happen due to not having enough time because almost all the college students work at the same time. It happens to me all the time, I don’t want to procrastinate things but I end up doing the same thing over and over. I like the way you believe in yourself as an optimistic person which is equally important to deal with stressful situation. I also agree and believe that having growth mindset is not only learning
In the story ‘The secret To Raising Smart Kids,” there was a student who had a growth mindset and came across a difficult problem and instead of ignoring it he took upon the difficulty. In the article, by Dweck Carol s it said, “One in the wake of difficulty, pulled up his chair rubbed his hands together, smacked his lips and said ‘I love a challenge!”(22). By the confidence, this boy showed it proves that students with the mindset he has like to learn by their own mistakes. Many students do not like a challenge because they feel like they’re not smart enough. Further along the story it also stated, “ They avoid challenges because challenges make mistakes more likely, and less smart’ (23).
First, I believe the object relations theory places less importance on biologically based drives and
People’s experiences shape their lives and influence the choices they make, their expectations, and formulate their behavior and mindset. I have always loved to learn! As a child, I was constantly at the library and playing school. I recall being in 5th grade when my teacher handed me the science manual and a box of equipment, and asked me to ‘figure it out’ and recreate it for the class. I couldn’t have been more thrilled!
Education is very important to ensure a better quality of life for all children. It also makes people aware of opportunities available for them, and the rights that they deserve. It is the key which allows one to acquire skills to become more self-reliant, and ultimately succeed in their life. A country or a world without educated people is a hell of a mess, where no one shows respect in regard to anyone. The lack of education increases the gender gap; for many years, women were not allowed to attend school or obtain an education. It also increases the level of poverty leaving people no choice than becoming criminals, murderers, or thieves. Those acts do not happen only because people live in poverty, but also for the sake to project their anger on society. However, because of women’s importance in societies, their education should not be neglected otherwise those goals can never be achieved because women are at the center of education.
First off, who I am as a learner has changed over the past years. At times before, I wouldn’t take certain classes or assignments seriously and have learned my lessons when I failed. I believe having classmates at the time who weren’t as focused as I wanted to be, played a big role in my lack of understanding in classes. I understood later that if I felt learning was so important to me, I need to realize that it is my future and I needed to focus on my own. Having learner in my top 5 strengths defines me very well. Rath (2007) explains that, “The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you” (p.133). I believe this defines me as a learner because I enjoy having books in hand, opening up my notebook to write notes and learning new ways to understand the class. Regardless if the content is something I have to get in to or if I don’t do well on tests, I enjoy the process of studying and learning more even when I know I didn’t do so well; that is what motivates me. I believe as long as I keep this mindset and understand that this is my strength, I will continue to grow and further my education as much as possible. Even though I have failed a few of my last classes, I never let that stop me from continuing. Knowing that I have “failed” makes me realize I know I can do better and I try my hardest not to let it get me down. I will not get further if I don’t keep trying and as a learner I am a motivator to myself in my studies.
