    A major error in the experiment is due to the measurement of the resonant point from the meniscus of the water to the phone generating the sound since it is difficult to get a precise measurement between the two objects. A common issue was aligning the meter stick with the phone so the meter stick would not make a 90 angle with the table. As a result, many of the wavelength measurements are slightly above or below its theoretical length. This would have skewed the data and made the experimental line

    In this experiment, accuracy and precision were measured through the density of water (H2O). Accuracy is defined by how close the result comes to the true value. Precision refers to how close two or more measurement are to each other. A volumetric flask, graduated cylinder, pipet, and buret were used to measure the water. A balance was used to measure the grams of each trail. Ten milliliter was the volume of the H2O that was used for each trial. Two trials of each equipment was done. Each trial

    The Pilgrim’s Progress written by John Bunyan was a very deep and touching story to me. After reading it and trying to interpret what it was saying I decided that I could actually relate more to this story than I realized through my faith as a follower of Jesus Christ. John Bunyan uses a dream of the main character, Christian, to describe a life changing event for Christian to grow spiritually while traveling and meeting new people and having first time experiences. The Pilgrims Progress is an allegory

    accordance with Mill’s description of his harm principle, the statement that “protecting liberty through this principle prioritizes the development of individuality over social progress” is somewhat valid. It is only somewhat valid because Mill prioritizes the self– development of the individual in order to help society progress rather than instead of the progression of society. He believes that freedom is designed to protect individualism and that in a state of nature there would be no social contract

    rigid and is not focused on achieving a minimum but on not exceeding a maximum deadline. The amount of work in progress is high and the planning does not factor that in. In this particular case, a mistake at the beginning, when there is little work in progress, may not have much of an impact or no impact at all because of the generous buffers. A mistake later, when the amount of work in progress is high, may delay the work more than the buffers can compensate for. a) Ralph suggests building only one

    The Pilgrim's Progress The author of The Pilgrim's Progress is well described by Coleridge's remark: "His piety was baffled by his genius; and Bunyan the dreamer overcame the Bunyan of the conventicle." This remark points out the difficulty that Bunyan faces when he attempts to write a religious piece of work in the style of allegory. The Pilgrim's Progress is "pious" because it is a piece written in dedication to God. It contains important religious teachings -- what a good Christian should

    At first working with a group of four proved to be a bit difficult. It was tricky to find something that we all had in common we had four totally different people. Two of them coming from the other side of the globe. Devantchi had just arrived two weeks earlier when I met her. Tony left his home in China at the age of 15 to attended school. Ky has been the glue in our group. She has been at Greenriver now for almost two years. It was nice to have someone who knew what to do and expect. This

    I have made some improvements in my writing as a result of the feedback from the professor, the multiple writing assignments, and reading the Anteater’s Guide to Writing and Rhetoric. Although I can still improve in all facets of my writing, the progress I have made so far was very much needed. One of the stages of my development took place in class. Although I was a bit reluctant and shy to participate at times in class, I learned a lot. The way the professor analyzed the 9/11 conspiracy video
