Answer preview

Some students who are actively engaged in virtual learning would achieve low results based on the dependence on the teacher for the dissemination of knowledge. Also, the students in a virtual environment are less anxious, feel less intimated, and speak more freely than they would in a class meeting (Ashford, 2020). In virtual learning, the teacher can interact freely with individual students to identify their weaknesses and respond accordingly. Students can also engage the online databases more actively, hence improving their knowledge base (Telles-Langdon, 2020). The increased participation and the maximum utilization of the resources available on the internet lead to an improved outcome for each student. Virtual learning is thus effective in improving the learning outcome for all programs by utilizing students’ competencies acquired in the social systems.

Defining a Leader

Its 2 assignment

Case 1: Illustration/Example Essay

Length: no less than 700 words, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font size

This essay consists of your own thoughts, words, and ideas. No secondary sources are to be used in this essay.

The first person “I” is not used in a formal essay.

For this assignment, you will choose one term from the list below and define the term using illustration and example, making sure that the definition is your own and that it is not simply a paraphrasing of a definition shared elsewhere.

A well-organized essay has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be the definition of a term.

A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. An essay with three points may be divided into three body paragraphs, one for each point describing the term. Each body paragraph must begin with a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.

The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world.

Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills, will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 1 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English found in the course syllabus.

What is family?
Define leader.
What is marriage?
Define kindness.
What is a patriot?
Define worldview.
What is an optimist?
Write a definition essay (no less than 700 words in length) that states an original thesis statement.
Demonstrate the ability to write clearly and cohesively when expressing one’s ideas and/or intended purpose.
Demonstrate the ability to clearly state and support a thesis in an organized and cohesive essay.

In an organized and well-supported mini five-paragraph essay, respond to the prompt below:

What goes into making an individual who they are?

Answer preview

Excellent communication is an outstanding strength that defines a leader, in that the way they share their ideas helps people understand their vision. For example, in a group of friends who decide to execute a project like constructing a shelter for the homeless, in most cases, the person who comes up with the idea is usually the king leader. This person communicates clearly why the project is essential and provides a vivid overview of how the project could be executed. In the process, this individual opens up about the needs and expectations to fulfill and encourages the targeted friends, who support the idea, to share their views. Hence, this creates an open forum, where the leader acknowledges every individual’s viewpoint. Generally, open communication helps the leader gain support from friends because they get to buy the idea and feel motivated to engage in the initiative as a strategy of giving back to the community.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted systems, including virtual learning, which has increased distress as people try to cope with new systems. Working at home and remote learning has many odds and stresses not previously experienced. The pressure to the various stakeholders to adapt to new systems and fear that such investment will not be sustained is a major cause of anxiety disorder. For instance, Fleming (2020, April 25) explains that many children struggle to adapt to remote learning. The benefits of flexibility in learning are only localized for those who are socially advantaged. Not all physical environments support remote learning, and technical problems are a major cause of distress. Parents, teachers, and students are worried about what the future will bring and how it will affect them. University students have also experienced distress in the era of COVID-19. According to Hadi et al. (2020), social field students have reported difficulties contacting lecturers for statistic tasks, which is a major cause of distress.

The best part of this pool party is games, food, and drinks. A set of games that will be played around the pool include swimming pool races and obstacle course. The games will keep everyone busy and happy during this party. Moreover, the joy will not be enough without having something to eat and drink.

Another argument against income inequality is that pay should be based on productivity, not gender. The traditional concepts of gender roles are no longer applicable in the 21^st century. Women nowadays work just like men in providing for the family. The fact that all genders are nowadays working requires that the wages for all employees be the same. Equal pay for equal responsibilities promotes gender equity and improves women’s purchasing power as they strive to provide a better future for their children. Equal pay promotes equal opportunities, and this encourages women to enter the labor force. Bryan & Bryson asserts that payments based on performance are increasingly gaining popularity across the world as companies shift to productivity to attract qualified employees (149). Performance-based wages are vital as they focus on an employee’s performance, which supports income inequality between men and women.

From the critic’s perspective, the emphasis on control of social media usage is due to the negative impacts of the safety and individual’s wellbeing. Questions about the risks of cyberbullying have emerged since this affects the victims’ self-esteem and mental health. According to Fersko (2018), this is contributed by the hurtful words and images they may receive from the bullies. Severe repercussions experienced by victims like low grades, depression, and suicide reveal a need for limited usage. Also, extensive usage limits productivity, whereby users find themselves mindlessly scrolling on the networks, yet they could be engaged in other activities (Fersko, 2018). This kind of behavior makes people addicted, and with time, this affects their concentration level and prevents them from accomplishing tasks within the given time frame.

Students’ well-being and learning

February 6, 2024/in English Facilitate learning /by Marjorie Benton

A position paper is an essay that identifies claims and arguments surrounding an issue. You will often be asked to compose papers that do this; it is a fundamental part of conversation surrounding any number of topics and a necessary skill in academic and professional writing. Composing a position paper asks you to carefully consider all sides of an issue before choosing one. Using your reading of the articles above, you will select one and take a position on some aspect of this debate: Has remote learning contributed positively or negatively to students’ well-being and learning? Are schools taking appropriate actions to facilitate learning and overall mental well-being of students? Should schools remain closed for in-person learning, or should they re-open?

Keep in mind, in crafting your position in response to that question, you will need to lay out some background. What position or viewpoint are you responding to? You can use issues or information raised in these articles to do any of the following:

summarize the position you are responding to
provide evidence or reasoning for your own position

There is no expectation that you will conduct additional research on this topic; you should have enough information to develop a position after reading the articles within this module (and considering your own experiences on this topic, as well). However, if you do choose to refer to other articles you may have read, just be sure to cite them.

Requirements

All essays should follow the classical model as described in the Structuring an Argument section of this module.
The final paper should be around four pages in length.
Any sources must be attributed and cited properly in MLA format, including in-text citations and a Works Cited page.

Requirements: 4 pages

According to Sonali, a significant number of children have not learned stress coping skills, making them vulnerable to experiencing trauma. This is a likely situation, particularly if the children have experienced the loss of a loved one (1). Apart from the stress related to covid-19 isolation measures, children in their living environments may be exposed to neglect, violence, and substance abuse. Constant exposure to such adverse events may heighten stress-related cognitive impairment and illnesses. Sonali inform that exposure to such traumatic childhood experiences is a threat to children’s wellness since they may develop chronic diseases, asthma, substance abuse disorder, autoimmune diseases, and depression (2). Children with untreated trauma even before covid-19 struck are at a higher risk of getting mental health disorders and comorbid health issues.

An Education in Equality

February 3, 2024/in English Outline- Trident /by Marjorie Benton

PART 1- 1PAGE

Think about your early years of education (elementary through high school) and identify that which influenced and/or impacted you. Consider your family life, friendships (or lack of), specific classrooms, teaching styles, teachers, other students, etc. What stuck with you and what have you let go? Do early experiences “build character” or perhaps linger?

just write it of your expirience

This just need to be 3 to 5 Paragraphs.

————————————————————————————————

Prepare an outline for the essay assigned for the Module 1 Case using the Formal Essay Outline. 1PAGE OUTLINE

No secondary sources are to be used in the process of writing this first paper; it is to be entirely written based on one’s point of view and supported with body points and details.

Note: Module 1 SLP should be completed before the Module 1 Case.

After viewing “An Education in Equality,” “Learning Begins at Home,” “A Military Education,” and “an Education,” write an organized and well-supported essay in which you make three observations about education and what impacts (and enhances) student learning. Consider impacts and influences such as parenting, home life, society, race, technology, ethnicity, socioeconomics, etc.

A well-organized essay has a beginning, middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. In this case, it might be the state of education today. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be what impacts/influences student learning.

A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. For this essay, you must decide the best way to organize the body of the paper. Will you have a paragraph for each impact or enhancement? Will you divide the body of your paper into three paragraphs, one for each impact?
