The PSSAs are tested that the whole state takes, they are mostly taken in April. The PSSA stands for Pennsylvania System School Assessment. They are for grades 3-8. The point of the test is to show what you know. Most people think that they are hard, they are not that hard if you prepare for them.
PSSA posters can encourage students who have to take the PSSA’S. I made a poster and it is blue and white, I chose those colors because I think they are calming colors. I put the different kinds of subjects the test will be on. It is important to do things like this because it encourages and helps the students. I also added a little bit more bright color by adding a little encouragement image/quote.
In order to do good on the test you have to be
Specifically, crime shows have given us, the TV audience as a whole, scripts or an expectation of what will/should happen in a variety of situations. It leads people to think about what is appropriate and what isn’t in terms of how the results of these situations play out. For example, in the CSI franchise, as the plot unfolds in each episode, it takes forensic evidence, such as DNA or fingerprints, to convict the villain. Before the technological breakthroughs made in the fields of biology and forensics, juries relied more on circumstantial evidence, and eyewitness accounts to prove someone was guilty. This is just one example of how crime shows have changed the general representations of what is the “correct” way to solve a crime.
PCP is a recreational drug with hallucinogenic and dissociative properties. The drug was first produced as a potential agent for anesthesia but was later recognized as a dangerous substance of abuse that can significantly alter mental status. It is classified as a schedule ll controlled substance. PCP is currently illegal worldwide, including the United States. An article named, “PCP”, elaborates on the effects PCP has on your mental state:
A synthesis essay should be organized so that others can understand the sources and evaluate your comprehension of them and their presentation of specific data, themes, etc.
Over the past thirty years, technology has integrated into our society in a way that has made it almost impossible to avoid it (Chayko, 2). Whether it be through phone calls, webcam conversations, or even social media, people have become more connected through the means of it. However, this is a dangerous thing for we are now more susceptible to distraction (Shirky). Throughout the assigned articles, three main topics were discussed that enforce the aforementioned statements: how technology is integral to our society, social media, and the distraction of modern technologies.
Television has affected every aspect of life in society, radically changing the way individuals live and interact with the world. However, change is not always for the better, especially the influence of television on political campaigns towards presidency. Since the 1960s, presidential elections in the United States were greatly impacted by television, yet the impact has not been positive. Television allowed the public to have more access to information and gained reassurance to which candidate they chose to vote for. However, the media failed to recognize the importance of elections. Candidates became image based rather than issue based using a “celebrity system” to concern the public with subjects regarding debates (Hart and Trice). Due to “hyperfamiliarity” television turned numerous people away from being interested in debates between candidates (Hart and Trice). Although television had the ability to reach a greater number of people than it did before the Nixon/Kennedy debate, it shortened the attention span of the public, which made the overall process of elections unfair, due to the emphasis on image rather than issue.
ST (standerdized Tests) Are something every kid in the country Has to do every year. They are supposed to measure how well were doing in school and if we can pass that grade. These test are not accurate in the slightest and we really shouldn't do them heres why.
PSAT covers in two major academics English and Math. PSAT is a college test and it is for sophomores and juniors. This test determines if you can go to a good college or not. To help you with the PSAT next year I am going to give you a monthly tip from now through next October.
The SAT and ACT exams are aptitude tests taken by high school students. The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) tests students on critical thinking, math, and writing and the ACT (American College Testing) tests students on English, math, writing, reading, and science. Chris Streetman, a professor at McKendree University, writes, “Colleges often use the ACT or the SAT to determine whether to admit the student or to determine how much scholarship money they will award the student.”
Going into a test knowing if you don’t do well you may not graduate is scary. Many students get anxious when taking these tests because their future may depend on it. Protesters of the exam believe that the tests have the potential to create more dropouts, cause school districts to go bankrupt, and shift the educational control from local districts to the state (“Senate Committee Weighs…”). By putting this pressure on the students, we may cause unintentional harm to many children and school districts. The stress that the Keystones are causing is a lot to add to students that are already trying to balance school, homework, extracurriculars, and other things. Jeff Taylor, assistant superintendent of curriculum in the North Hills School District, believes that students are "over-tested," already (Daniels). Students are tested endlessly whether it’s for a class, the SAT, or even to get their license. Adding a test that may affect a child’s ability to graduate is unnecessary pressure. Some may argue that this exam is making sure a student’s diploma had meaning (“Pennsylvania on Track…”). This is not the case. A students academic success should not be based on a few tests (“Pennsylvania on Track…”). Students face enough pressure in high school as it is, let alone having to worry about passing even more tests to get the diploma. For example, in the biology class you got many tests and chances to show your knowledge. The Keystone exam for biology is one test, and if you don't pass it, you may not be able to graduate. By adding this extra pressure to students, Keystones are causing more of a disturbance than anything beneficiary. Students should be able to focus on their studies and strive to learn something new everyday, not worry about the Keystone that is hanging over their head on top of the other tests they have throughout the school
PDAP can present in a broad range of fashion. Diagnosis should not rely on pain characteristics only, as it may mislead the clinician towards other diagnoses such as tooth pain, myofascial pain or even trigeminal neuralgia (11). We summarized features of PDAP pain quality from studies of level 3 and 4 evidence (11) (35) (36). Among the most common descriptors for the baseline pain we find terms as aching, dull, pressing, heavy and cramping. Some patients report an itchy and tingly sensation other than a real pain. Pain exacerbations can be described even more variably and the most reported one is pain felt as intense heat. Clinicians must be aware of possible misleading descriptors for pain exacerbations such as throbbing and stabbing, that can lead towards a vascular
Education is an integral part of a society and essential for the advancement of that society. Throughout the years, multiple reforms to the Educational system in the U.S were made. A few examples of these changes would be the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the No Child Left Behind Act. The most recent reform of the education system was Every Student Succeeds Act passed by Obama Dec. 10, 2015 (Klein). One of the key parts of this act is the focus of annual testing in order to monitor the progress of students. States will individually determine the criteria they will test their students in order to evaluate their progress. In some cases, States have decided to standardized tests into their graduation requirements. Pennsylvania has
On the right side of my poster I put a dock to the future. This is used to represent the upcoming events in my life. For example, there is a boat with animals and medical equipment on it. It also contains a flag that says U of W. This is used to represent my future years in the pre vet program at the U of W and hopefully my time in vet school soon
Examination is a test that shows the knowledge and capability of students on a specific subject. Examination is a reasonable method for testing the student’s knowledge. There are many types of examinations in Singapore; there are four most important tests that are tested in primary and secondary schools. The first examination is the written test for all the subjects where students have to answer lot of question that the teacher has typed on the test paper on a limited time. This lets the teacher know the students knowledge on the subject. The second type of exam is the physical fitness test. In Singapore we have the National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA) Test, in this test students has to do various sports like sit-up, pull-up and the
I am currently employed as a Software Engineering Senior Analyst at Accenture. The Information system advances so rapidly that at times it is too difficult to keep up with it without proper knowledge and experience. While most of the people do get a relatively easy entry in the field after under graduation, it is very difficult to aim for a constant growth only on that basis. The field demands upgraded knowledge and experience for career growth and (achieve goals). And that is why I aspire, to pursue Masters in Management Information Systems at your esteemed University.
