The overall idea of learning requires astudent that “is involved in the learning process; it intervenes with all capabilities,emotions, skills, abilities, feelings and motivations” [7]. Success in academic work requiresactive engagement, unwavering focus, and persistent effort. These skills are indispensablefor overcoming obstacles and distractions, contributing to successful academic pursuits.The fundamental skill in the field of architecture is design, serving as the core focus in thelearning process. “While [architects as project managers] play important roles

Teaching the course are, on average, 15 instructors, each of whom oversee 1 to 3sections. All of the instructors have at least a master of arts (all in English), with most of theconcentrations being in Literature. To prepare these instructors to teach Technical Writing, theinstructors undergo a week-long boot camp during the summer with the course leader, who has adoctorate in Rhetoric and Technical Communication. In addition to an assignment on preparingjob application materials, students have four technical writing assignments: (1) a usability study,(2) an internet resource guide, (3) a technical description

Thepapers were analyzed according to the following questions: 1. Were safety and environmental concerns addressed? 2. Did the student exhibit an understanding of the chemistry behind the process? 3. Were unit operations described correctly (focusing on agitation, extraction and filtration)?I read the papers multiple times, and compiled notes in a master sheet (see Table 1 for theanalysis of two nonengineering students’ papers).

The daunting list of concepts to be mastered ifone were to become a true expert in this field, is used to explore alternatives, and define theidea of concept resilience as it applies to students and faculty developing advanced concepts.The evolution of the concept is then traced as students and faculty learned from initial conceptexploration, to finding out the needs and constraints that successively refined or expanded

The primary reasons for retiring thegeneral reference desk concept and returning to subject specific desks were eightfold:• Subject specific desks provided librarians with a smaller subject set to master. With 30,000+ students, and 145 graduate level programs, it was difficult, (some would say impossible), for librarians to be aware of all the basic resources in every subject area which Virginia Tech offered. Although librarians could usually start patrons on a subject based search, there were too many times when nagging doubts were present about the quality of the advice given. The gulf

In a piconet, one Bluetooth device (the master) is responsible forproviding the synchronization clock reference. All other Bluetooth devices are called slaves.1.5 InterferenceAs with any radio technology, Bluetooth technology is prone to interference from other devicesin the ISM band and will produce interference to them. To achieve some degree of robustness tointerference, the Bluetooth system uses a scheme called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum(FHSS). Constantly hopping around the different radio channels ensures that packets affected byinterference can be retransmitted on a different frequency, which will hopefully be
