Why did you decide to become a secondary school mathematics/science teacher?
I actually decided to teach math because I understand it, but the reason I continue with the study is because of the benefits of teaching. Teaching high school math offers constant new challenges, there continues to be a high demand for math teachers, and teachers have a schedule that anyone would enjoy.
The primary reason that there are always going to be challenges in teaching mathematics is because few people seem to be gifted with an innate understanding of mathematical concepts. The logic just does not seem logical to them. But, this is helped by the fact that technology has become such a constant in the classroom. "Technology enhances the teaching of mathematics by presenting concepts in exciting new ways. Children learn the concept of place value by reading their textbook, then translating the words and numbers to…...

What types of techniques would you use to get students to participate?
First, I would observe the class and try to determine the reason why some students may not be participating as much as others. In my experience, low participation can be attributable either to distractions or to difficulty in understanding that causes some students to lose interest or give up. With respect to students whose low participation is a function of distraction, I would make seating (and other) changes necessary to reduce distractions. With respect to students who seem to give up because of comprehension limitations, I might conduct short one-on-one tutorials to help me identify and overcome specific learning barriers.
5. Aside from your education and experience, what will you do to help better educate your students? What methods would you implement to aid in their education?

new report, work process, or tracking system. What was involved and what was the outcome?
Situation: The situation that I encountered was indeed a new report that was issued to my department at Amazon as well as a few others.
The task that was being attempted was to provide better tracking of warehouse performance including incorrect picks, boxes being sent to the wrong location, boxes being placed in the wrong slots, etc. However, the data on the report was a little unwieldy and was not presented in the best and most useful way.
Action: As such, I made it a point to work with the makers of the report as well as the other people that used it to help add a few columns, remove a few redundant columns and reorder some of the remaining so as to make ease of use much better than it was.
Result: The revised report was much…...
At the same time, it also needs to be mentioned that one has to take a decision based on the consideration that whether the person has any individual choice of his/her own in the matter. One of the main reasons for developing such an attitude may be because of depression in the minds of the patient. This matter needs to be raised and decided by the doctor and medicines prescribed accordingly to the need. These medicines have to be given by force, to the patient, if necessary, if he is unwilling to take them. At the same time, one may also understand that when medicines are being forced down a patient's throat, the effects and situation of the mind of the patient makes the medicine to be less effective, unless otherwise it is a medicine which has enough direct physical action. All the developmental effects are being slowed down…...

Thus CWH should train all managers to identify non-verbal cues to interpret whether or not applicants might be lying. This will help eliminate the potential to hire an individual based on false pretenses, and further help reduce turn over.
Other tools that can be used to improve the interview process include:
Establishing an interview objective (Smeltzer, 2002, p. 231) - what is the purpose of the interview? In a hiring situation it will be to gather information about the candidate's skills, abilities and interests in order to determine who will be the best fit for the organization in the short and in the long-term.
Determination of the Best Place to Interview (Smeltzer, 2002, p. 231) - time and setting can impact a mangers evaluation of an interview. If one party is more inconvenienced by the other by time and place, this may affect the interview outcome. Thus it is best to accommodate…...

nterviewing Situations
Consider this scenario: A researcher has scheduled an interview with a person the researcher believes will provide rich research data for the study. The day before the interview, the interviewee contacts the researcher and says, " have had a family emergency and had to travel to another city. won't be able to meet you in person for the interview, but would still be able to answer questions in e-mail." What should the researcher do? s it better to gather some data rather than not interview the person at all?
To prepare for this Discussion:
• Review the readings for this week on interviewing.
• Think about a face-to-face interview. How important it is for the researcher to be able to see the body language, hear an interviewee's voice during the interview, and know the physical environment in which the interview is taking place? What data does this provide to the…...
mlaIn most instances, being able to evaluate the body language of an interview subject is critical. This is why, when recording an interview, videoed (or video conferenced) rather than taped or transcribed data is usually preferred and face-to-face rather than phone or email interviews are likewise favored. With email in particular, much may be lost in translation, including the use of irony and the interviewee's ambiguous feelings about the subject. When interviewing someone from a different culture in particular, assessing what something means in context is essential. The times when email interviews might be needed are usually when the interview is a follow-up merely to validate some purely factual data and email allows the researcher to easily get something in writing. Email interview questions have to be clearer on the interviewer's part as well, given that he or she cannot use body language and linguistic nuances to clear up questions about what is needed in the response (Meho 2006: 1290).
However, in some instances, the need to conduct some form of interview requires such imperfect communication media because an interview in 'the real world' is not feasible and the virtual world is the only alternative. The limits of the media must be assessed when weighing the overall value of the data. There are "three main types of Internet-based qualitative research methods: online synchronous interviews; online asynchronous interviews, and virtual focus groups (Meho 2006: 1284). Unlike email surveys, all of these methods involve some give-and-take between subjects and interviewer. Asynchronous interviews are unique, however, in that the give and take between subject and interviewer does not take place in real time, minimizing the risk of emotional spontaneity for the subject.
Email interviews are cheaper and allow for more subjects to be interviewed for a qualitative study (Meho 2006: 1288). But even interviewing over the phone which lacks the ability to read body language at least has more linguistic nuances. The researcher must always
By taking the initiative to accomplish this task, I showed leadership skills that my supervisor later praised me for, which was definitely encouraging.

My supervisor was excellent in many aspects of her job, but could be forgetful when it came to returning client calls or attending to invoices that came due. When an item requiring her attention came across my desk, I would always be sure to have a face-to-face conversation with her, and to hand her a written not regarding the details of the same issue. I found that by communicating in both verbal and written messages it was far more likely that the needed information would actually be not only remembered but acted upon by the supervisor. The writing helped to ensure accuracy, of course, but I think it was of greater importance that she had a physical artifact simply to remind her that there was any information…...
I think because the candidate is relatively local, this was enough education. Also, they had a rigorous interview process, and I had to show them some of my successes, so to speak.
5. Did you ever take any online courses?
A: Not yet, but I am definitely considering them, especially since the University to which I am applying offers them. I may be on the road if we are successful with this campaign, so we will see.
6. Do you like your team? If yes, why? If no, why not?
A: I love my team. I have gotten so used to them, and they to me, and we have really found a way to click, so it is perfect.
7. Do you like your boss?

Intake Interview
The overall experience of conducting the intake assessment was a good and enlightening one. The interview itself felt very open and relaxed as my choice of the interviewee was a stranger, so there were no prior associative anxieties for either of us. Also, the interviewee seemed to have a very vivid imagination and attention to detail which helped in making the interview in-depth and thorough. During conducting the interview I felt like a natural in not only communicating the questions but in also taking down the notes on all the answers with important key words that I could clearly understand even after the interview ended. Another aspect I experienced as an interviewer was my ability to actually frame a few additional questions based on the response of the interviewee and not shying away from asking for help when I needed it -- whether this was in terms of…...
articles that form the foundation of this analysis is Disruptive Behavior and Social Concerns (Barnes, 2015). Included in this analysis is an overview of the ethical, moral and legal implications of cyberterrorism, network and computer hacking, computer viruses, hate speech and pornography. The analysis strives to provide a balanced analysis of each area, illustrating how the inherent freedoms the Internet also provide powerful catalysts for criminals, hackers and hate groups to thrive. The paradoxical nature of Internet freedom is most clearly demonstrated in the examples of how hackers had been able to permeate a wide variety of systems and gain access to valuable data, intent on destroying it (Barnes, 2015). This article discusses the technologies underlying these areas in light detail, choosing instead to concentrate on the societal dilemmas of having an entirely open publishing medium that anyone at any time can use either ethically or unethically.

Career Profile: Investigative Reporter
hether it was reading my younger sister's diary or spying on my crazy neighbors whom I was convinced were axe murders, I have always had a natural calling for being a sleuth. In addition to my voyeuristic ways, I am also interested in current events and politics. As a result of these interests, I am interested in a career as an investigative reporter.
I interviewed Jilda Unruh, an Emmy winning investigative reporter at PLG Channel 10 in Miami, FL, for some inside information on her line of work. As for preparation for the field, she said, " A solid, diverse education is more important than any particular major. Investigative reporting covers such a broad spectrum of topics that one must be comfortable in a variety for subjects." Ms. Unruh did not major in journalism, but said the writing and fact-finding skills taught in most undergraduate programs are helpful…...
