For many reasons, John Proctor is an honest man. By no means is Proctor afraid to tell you what is on his mind.
Proctor is a flawed man who willingly gives out his advice and considers himself imperfect as well because of his affair with Abbigail and his distance from the church. His main quarrel with the church is he does not like the way Parris teaches the sermon. His dislike for the way Parris
Some years ago, teachers and students both struggled with how to teach and how to learn. Each person is unique in their own way so it will depend on how every student understand things. Teachers also have different or particular style in which they also teach. The problem then develops when students and teachers do not match. Piaget through and Vygotsky through their developments showed us how children could be able to learn. For this, I chose to talk about the learning styles of children or students since it is important for them to understand what they are being thought in class.
As I read this article on senioritis, I can relate with the side effects on having the deadly disease. There has been continues articles and conversation whether or not senioritis is true. Before I became a senior, I would hear a lot about senioritis, but I would belittle the idea and think that senioritis was made up by the seniors. Many adults would comment that the incoherent students are lazy or just over dramatic, but in reality senioritis has taken the student hostage.

University 101 has helped me acclimate me to college life at Northern Illinois University. When I first started here, I was extremely nervous for the new environment I was going into rather blindly. However, after taking UNIV 101, I learned some valuable information to better myself for my future college endeavors. Thanks to my professor, peer educator, classmates, the novel, and the text book, I will be able to continue throughout college with confidence and stability.
The region of Maghreb, situated along the north-west African coast, has been an Arab-dominated area for more than a thousand years. Today’s Maghreb consists of five countries: Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia. Most of the indigenous population regard themselves as Arabs, though there are also many non-Arabs, too. Those include the Berbers, who also regard the Maghreb as their homeland. The region’s language is predominantly Arabic, but to better facilitate international trade and business activities, major languages such as English French, and Italian are also spoken in some Maghreb countries. Religion is overwhelmingly Muslim, with only the smallest percentage being those of the Christian and Jewish faiths. The political systems of the countries are similar. Algeria, Mauritania, Tunisia, Libya all have presidents, while Morocco has a king. Following the Arab Spring, the transformation of power has changed Tunisia and Libya. Also, the king of Morocco pointed to a new constitution and a reduction of his power by elected government. The Mauritania military au...
My biggest extrinsic motivation was being able to sit and watch movies in the guidance office all week except for Monday if I had all A’s and B’s. Another one was they would buy me lunches when they would order out. The last one was I was aloud to do whatever I wanted during finales if I had all A’s for the year. So of course I would get good grades just to get these rewards but I also got excited and happy (intrinsic motivation) when I would get a hundred on a test also I would not go to a party if I got below a B so that was my way of giving myself some intrinsic motivation. When I came here though it all changed and it became exceptionally hard for especially having to actually go to classes every day. So of course I had to give myself some intrinsic motivation by making goals for myself and I just kept on adding new ones. I also had extrinsic goals too I made goals like if I would get a good grade on a test then I would have one of my personal snacks and the same for other things too. Also if I got good grades I rewarded myself by going to stage crew and alternative sports. Another of my favorite motivations was calling Jazz. If I would do something good like get a hundred on some big test or something like that that was really important and vital for me I would reward myself by calling and talking to my best

Coming into my senior year I was very anxious and ready to get it over with. Everyone kept telling me that it was going to be the easiest year of high school, but I completely disagree. I would not say it was my hardest, but most definitely not the easiest, I did enjoy it though. It was very fun during the whole year, but once it came down to the last three or two months I began to give up. I was so ready for it to be over, and the more anxious I was the slower it seemed to get here. Unfortunately, I missed the main things that really mattered this year, like my cap and gown fitting, my last year book picture; all because I did not want to come to school this year. I really did not see no point in coming since I only needed two more credits to graduate, but in the 3rd quarter my

The social penetration theory is a theory composed by Altman and Taylor in which people are compared to onions. This may seem like an absurd comparison, but when explored more deeply it makes quite a bit of sense. The social penetration theory is a description of the multi-layered nature of people's personalities. As the outer skin of an onion is peeled away another layer is found beneath it, and if you remove that layer you will expose another layer, and so forth. The same holds true for people; as we get to know someone better we expose more layers of their personality and hence become closer to the core of the individual, or the private self The outer layers of our personality is the public self, or characteristics that are apparent to people we do not know very well. Some of these characteristics include a person's world view, studies, and tastes (Griffin, 1997, p. 145). Altman and Taylor proceed to say that in order for people to develop close and meaningful relationships penetration must occur; this process requires self-disclosure and vulnerability in order to be achieved. People are able to choose who they want to become closer to and to decide how much of their private self they want to expose.
Examinations, as we know it, have emerged to be the main facet of modern education in the ever-changing landscape of academia. In an education infrastructure that is as unpredictable as the clouds, it is somewhat ironic that the system of examinations as a means of judging a student’s ability has prevailed through the years. Every person, in their quest for knowledge, would inevitably encounter numerous modes of examinations throughout the course of their academic journey. As much importance has been attached to it in virtually every academic institutions across the globe, the voices of those who lobby for its eradication are seldom heard, let alone be considered seriously. There are various reasons for policymakers to initiate a rethink of the much-vaunted examination system. I am of the opinion that the time has come for us to abolish this system, a system which has come under fire from multiple sections of the community, particularly the students.
