It also is striking in the way that it uses dialogue and silence to create the relationship between the man and the girl, rather than description. However, the details of the story, like the types of drinks the couple have together and the luggage stickers on their suitcases tell a tale and characterize them just as much as long passages of dialogue or narrative.
A also enjoyed "Cathedral," another story told in simple, minimalistic style about everyday encounters and people. Raymond Carver tackles the issue of dealing with someone who is disabled through the voice of an unlikeable narrator yet the husband and the blind man at the end of the story reach a kind of connection and transcendence together, simply watching a television program about cathedrals. In the most unlikely way, people are still capable of being good -- an uplifting message, even in a sad story where people…...

In addition to this, nurses play an important role in identifying and communicating opportunities and obstacles that affect patients' treatment. Another important role identified by this research study is for nurses to provide health education to communities, care providers, patients, and clients. But nurses' role is not limited to heath care. They also get involved in issues affecting treatment adherence in Burundi. They work in increasing adherence to the treatment, especially for patients suffering from other diseases, like HIV. Therefore, nurses in Burundi provide education to their patients in order for them to adhere to treatment, provide the health care process, and continue with the followup.

However, in order for nurses' activity to be successful, it is important that they are excellently trained. The research study has revealed the fact that nurses in Burundi are highly skilled professionals, as adherence to treatment in this region has increased. They also require addition improvements that could help them do a better job with their patients. Such improvements are represented by transportation facilities and developing medical centers closer to patients' homes. It is important to address this study for improvements that authorities can invest in so that health care systems improve their performance.

For example, when assessing the results of a multiple-choice test, the instructor can see what questions students most frequently circled as incorrect, and specifically which incorrect responses were most attractive to students. Technology can also help highlight what students have improved or not improved in their test performance over the course of the semester by tracking student grades, on easily-read graphs, which can serve as a dramatic illustration of student progress for the teacher. If student performance was particularly poor on a particular unit or cluster of concepts, the teacher can target these areas for more extensive review. Technology thus allows for a more in-depth means of obtaining valuable feedback from test results as well as greater speed of assessment.
Technology allows instructors to use feedback to improve both lesson plans and assessments by providing information about how students approach tests as well as how they learn. While many students…...

3. Problems of a foreign student

Given the large number of foreign students applying for colleges and universities in the U.S., support for foreign students has become a necessity. Most of these students must deal with adjustment problems. The increased interest for this matter has determined writer Christine F. Meloni to prepare the article entitled "Adjustment Problems for Foreign Students in U.S. Colleges and Universities" for EIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics (Meloni, 1986).

The article starts with a short introduction that consists in a brief description of the context in which the analysis presented in the article takes place. The article gets right to the point, by providing the results of certain studies that focused on determining the reasons for which foreign…...

Traffic jams: How to avoid them and how to deal with them

It happens to everyone who gets behind the wheel of a car. You are rolling along, when suddenly the cars in front of you come to a standstill. There is no red light but you soon realize you are frozen in space. hat causes a traffic jam? According to the Freakanomics blog, the usual reason for a traffic jam is that "one driver's slowing down creates a ripple effect that moves backwards through traffic, grinding everything to a halt for miles" (hat causes traffic jams," Freakanomics, 2008). Traffic jams illustrate how even a small error can cause major headaches for countless numbers of people. Rubber-necking during an accident; a slow…...

local college/university employs ESL instructors however there is a problem with the manner in which ESL instructors teach the students. They follow a very linear and singular method of instruction that generates lack of interest in students and decreases student's linguistic ability during class. The literature reviewed will focus on the subject: teaching English as a second language, foundation strategies for teachers in Puerto ico. The first literature to review is: Factors of Significant Impact on Proficiency Levels of Adult ESL Learners Within Post-Secondary Education in Puerto ico by Perez. Perez performed a case study in where ESL learners within a four-year university in Puerto ico were observed and identified as having higher or lower levels of second language proficiency. He determined that students with lower levels of second language proficiency fared worse academically overall. The identification of certain factors that may influence the development of second language proficiency…...

Motivation for Students
Frameworks for Student Course Design

College and university instructors are expected to provide high quality learning environments and experiences for students, and an important component of superior instruction is having a well-thought-out framework for each course that is taught. Before there can be a design for a course, there needs to be a framework for that design. Does the framework for any particular course contain the structures, the assumptions, and the activities that are required in order to meet the objectives of the course -- and promote intellectual growth? This is a pivotal question when referencing effective frameworks (Lattuca, 2011).

In this paper three frameworks will be examined: Bloom's and Anderson and Krathwohl's Framework; Perry's and Baxter-Magolda's Framework; and Fink's Framework. Thesis: If instructors fail to put a great deal of pedagogically adroit preparation into frameworks, students will not have the maximum opportunity for learning to solve problems.

Laboratory safety is of extreme importance because of not only employee health and safety but also because of maintaining environmental health and safety. Lab safety is essential because it deals with all the safety issues and problems related to chemical, biological and other scientific materials and researches/experiments. Therefore, it is highly important that the new safety manager, that is, ene, who is hired by Best Pets, Inc., performs well. The previous lab safety manager was not coming up to the company's safety and ethical standards and requirements due to which he is replaced by ene.

Best Pet Test, Inc. is a midget, blood and urine sample analysis company which has 50 employees working under it. Samples are gathered from veterinarian offices and animal shelters of different tri-state areas and are brought in the laboratory to be tested and analyzed .

Also, it does not really fit very well with the rest of the syllabus. The other stories on the syllabus have three-dimensional characters that show a mix of good and bad characteristics, and face moral dilemmas. But the 'good man' of the title is suddenly confronted with a vision of hypocrisy, of the good people of the town showing their evil side. He does not come to this encounter with any soul-searching, or because he has done something particularly extraordinary, in terms of the story's plot. The story is heavy-handed and does not make much of a 'case' for the effective use of symbolism or the use of stories with clearly moral tales. Most people in the class have already encountered fables and morality tales in their other reading, even as children, and the more complex modernist works are a better spur towards better writing and…...

The Guillermo Furniture Store Scenario

The Guillermo Furniture Store is currently facing severe challenges from the external environment. As competition intensifies and as the forces in the micro and macro environments become more pressing, the economic agent is forced to reconsider its strategic direction. Up to this stage, the furniture store had been primarily operating on manual labor and was emphasizing on high product quality.

While the managerial objective is that of preserving the high quality of the products and services delivered by the Guillermo Furniture Store, its underlying scope is that of creating more positive financial results and as such securing an improved competitive position for the company.

In establishing the future course of action, four alternative solutions were identified, as follows:

Sexual Harassment Charges
The chair of the kinesiology department at a college or university confronted with a sexual harassment charge from a student concerning the inappropriate touching of a breast by a male instructor during weight training instruction and who now refuses to return to class will need to understand the legal definition of sexual harassment and relevant precedential case laws to provide an appropriate organizational response. To this end, this paper reviews the literature to provide a definition of sexual harassment, when it was implemented into law in the United States, and an analysis of selected sexual harassment cases including their validity. Finally, a recommendation for the college or university, a summary of the research and important findings concerning sexual harassment cases are presented in the conclusion.

Online Class
Being an online instructor

The current learning trends are becoming predominantly online based and many instructors find it more convenient adopting this mode of learning as opposed to the traditional classroom-based learning. It is not to say that the online-based learning should replace the traditional classroom setting, but there is need for adaptability of either modes where necessary. The following are the major areas that I will emphasize on in order to have an effective online class and effective interaction with the students as an instructor;

Assessing learning outcomes

One of the methods that I will use for assessing the learning outcomes will be the evaluation of the activeness of each student in the online class especially in terms of answering questions in the online forum. I will also post numerous assignments and use the frequency of reply or return of the exams from each student to gauge the level of…...

Choosing a research paper topic doesn't have to be difficult. In many cases, an instructor will choose a topic for you. Some instructors allow you to choose your own topic, but request that you get approval from them before beginning your paper. If you're left completely alone to choose a topic and start writing, consider the following questions as you're thinking about topic ideas: • What is the class about? • What are some of the main points or themes addressed by the instructor? • What about the class specifically interests you? • What ideas or themes from the class naturally lend themselves to research? • Is your topic idea....

To develop a thesis statement, the first thing you'll need to do is determine what kind of paper you're writing. It will be either expository (explain something to the reader), argumentative (make and justify a claim), or analytical (break down and evaluate an issue). The type of paper you're writing will affect the content of your thesis statement, which should be very specific. The main issue you'll cover in your paper should be listed in your statement, and should be backed up with proper evidence. Generally, the statement will appear at the very end of the paper's first paragraph. As....
