Reminiscing on My Teens
I actually learned a great deal from reading the several books that were required for this course, and which include Dennis McCallum's Christianity: The Faith that Makes Sense, Francis Chan's Crazy Love, Josh and Sean McDowell's More Than a Carpenter, and C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. I found the vast majority of these works thought provoking and relevant to Christianity today and to my life in particular. At times, I found myself wondering if these books actually helped to provide me with more questions than they did answers. In either case, I still enjoyed reading and believe that they have helped me substantially in my own journey of living as a Christian.
The book that was most critical to my own life as a Christian was Chan's Crazy Love. This book challenged the reader in numerous ways to actually become a better Christian. The basic premise of Chan's work certainly helped to challenge some of my own views on Christianity. That premise was that Christians actually have to earn a right to go to heaven, and that doing so requires much more than just a passive belief. In fact, Chan passionately believes that Christians must actually take action to merit going to heaven and even to merit calling themselves Christians. I can honestly say that this particular message resonated with me because I had not truly encountered this stance before. I had always known that there were vague actions of good that people who were Christians were supposed to do -- such as works of charity or donating money to the poor. What Chan was discussing in his book was much more personal and even radical. Quite simply, I had never imagined engaging in the sort of action that he talked about and provided examples of in his book. Furthermore, to be quite honest, I am not sure how ready I am to devote my life to others before I have truly lived it for myself -- which is why I had always kind of believed in and practiced the sort of passive Christianity...
Intergration and Reflect Disscussion Strategc Management In general, the concepts that were most interesting to me were those that pertained to mission statements and vision statements. I always believed that these two statements were interchangeable; I now know the difference between them is that mission statements define an organization, whereas vision statements do so as well but include information about an ideal future and the way an organization attempts to do
CAPSIM Team Ferris has not been overly successful thus far in our work, as reflecting in our current operating statistics. We have a negative return on sales, return on assets, return on equity and free cash flow, indicating that at present our company is not profitable.

Convergent questions seek one or more very specific correct answers, while divergent questions seek a wide variety of correct answers. Convergent questions apply to Bloom's lower levels of Knowledge, Comprehension, and Application and may include questions like "Define nutrition," "Explain the concept of investing," and "Solve for the value of X." Divergent questions apply to Bloom's higher levels of Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation; are generally open-ended; and foster student-centered discussion,
Consistency takes place, by using the same method and approach to analyze the information that was received. Continuity will occur throughout the entire project by constantly focusing on accuracy. The combination of these elements is important, in showing how this will improve the findings by having researchers follow pre-determined criteria. ("Structural Analysis," 2012) Reflective Analysis Reflective analysis is when actuaries are studying the findings of the results and then they are
OCR recognizes that colleges and universities are under a lot of legal and political pressure to stop using racial and ethnic factors in admission," Clegg commented. "[In response,] the agency wants to intimidate colleges and universities to continue using these preferences."

The maintenance stage can be brainstormed with students and staff from the middle school in future months, based on the response and enthusiasm students have displayed in carrying out the initial project, and based on the number of days missed because of sickness after the hand-washing project vs. The average number of days of school missed due to illness prior to the hand-washing project. Shown that actions like hand-washing
