Assignment 1: LASA 2: Bacterial Growth
As a medical research technician, you have been assigned the task of modeling the growth of five different strains of the E. coli bacteria. These bacteria are grown in Petri dishes and exposed to the same environmental conditions (food source, pressure, temperature, light, etc.). Each hour, you count and record the number of bacterial cultures in each of the sample Petri dishes. The results for the first 7 hours of observations are recorded in the chart below:

Directions: Assuming that the growth pattern for each bacterial sample follows a geometric sequence, determine the following:
1 Determine the rate at which the culture grows in a hour. This rate will be the factor r by which the number of bacterial cultures has increased since the last recorded observation.
2 Write a formula that represents the growth of this bacteria based upon your observations. Your formula will be based upon the basic format for a geometric sequence:
3 Using the formula you’ve developed, determine the number of cultures you would expect to see in the Petri dish on the 8th, 10th, and 12th hour of your observations.
4 Compute the total number of bacterial cultures observed after 24 hours of growth assuming that the growth follows a geometric series.
5 Repeat steps 1–4 for all five bacterial samples.
In a Microsoft Word document, prepare a report that includes answers to the following:
1 Report the results of the calculations you performed above.
2 Which strain of E. coli exhibited the highest growth rate?
3 Which strain of E. coli exhibited the lowest growth rate?
4 Assuming that all five of the E. coli strains present a high toxicity danger to humans, which do you suppose would be the most manageable based upon growth? Why?
5 Consider how you’ve modeled the growth of the E. coli strains using the concept of geometric sequence. Is this a realistic approach to modeling bacterial growth?
6 What other factors do you think should be considered when modeling the growth of bacteria such as E. coli?
7 Conduct an Internet search for research on E. coli. Look for information related to growth rate, environmental conditions conducive to growth, methods of controlling growth, etc.

Summary:
According to the department of Education office for civil rights, there has been a drop of suspensions and expulsions in public schools between 2012 and 2014. There have been moves to abolish the use of suspensions and expulsion by some policy makers. Furthermore, there have also been complains that suspensions and expulsions where used in a way that was not fair and discriminative of other students. Others do also believe that the abolishment of such punishment would result to a better working environment. There has also been a push by politicians including Barak Obamas government, which advocated for an alternative kind of punishment for students found on the wrong line of the school rules. This involved a joint venture by the Department of Education and the Department of Justice who eventually arrived on measures to improve the school climate and the discipline among students. They also send a strict warning of racism when it comes to disciplining of students at school. It is evident also that the move for discipline reforms has gone to the grassroots, which is the state and school district levels. Example is the District of Colombia.
A critical look on the effects of this alternative ways of suspension should be made. Various statistical reports have brought out variety of evidences. Example is the documentation in disparities in school in school discipline and race. In addition is the statistical report by the National Centre for Education show a downward trend in suspensions, student victimization and reports of bullying. It also shows decline in suspensions and expulsions. There has also been more that 30% if teachers reporting of disruption to studies due to behavior and tardiness. Evidence of exposure to extreme harsh conditions such has students exposed to Hurricanes tend to be out of school for a given time while dealing with the disaster. Finally, exposure to disruptive peers tends to affect students later in their studies.
Statistics also show disproportionate rates of suspension with it mainly affecting students of a specific race and also students with disabilities. Most of these being racial especially among the blacks in preschool, primary, middle and high schools. This has also created gaps between blacks ...
The nature of reflection as demonstrated by Healthcare Science students as th...Laverty Jacqueline
My presentation will report the initial findings from a study aiming to explore in rich detail the nature of reflection on critical incidents as demonstrated by student Healthcare Science (Respiratory and Sleep Science) practitioners studying at a post 1992 University. The type of incident students choose to make critical together with the level and nature of reflection demonstrated within both written reports and peer discussion will be explored.
The Modernising Scientific Careers curriculum introduced by the Department of Health in 2010 requires Healthcare Science (HCS) students to produce reflective reports within a record of clinical competence. The HCS programme includes academic study and clinical work-based placements exposing students to professional practice providing opportunities to gain practical skills. Students are required to engage with reflection throughout their studies. Reflection considered as, ‘… taking our experiences as a starting point for learning … thinking about them in a purposeful way – using reflective processes ‘ (Jasper, 2003, p. 1). Any experience can become a topic for reflection as ‘critical incidents are produced by the way we look at a situation: a critical incident is an interpretation of the significance of an event.’ (Tripp, 2012, p. 8).
Students attending the institution within this study are required to regularly reflect on their experiences producing monthly written reflective reports for inclusion within their record of clinical competence, and participate in group discussions to introduce the concept of peer supported reflection. These naturalistically occurring reflective events are the subject of this investigation which forms part of a doctoral enquiry. There are small numbers of students within single cohorts of this specialised area of practice; the findings presented are from one cohort comprising three students.
A social constructivist approach was taken as individuals were considered to make sense of their experiences through construction of meanings. Thematic analysis using a constant comparative technique was used to determine the type of incident students considered, level of reflection determined using Kember, et al., (2008) and Johns (2010) framework was used to explore the nature of reflection demonstrated. The preliminary findings may be used to help inform the introduction of reflection to help facilitate the development of reflective skills, and could be transferable to other similar programmes involving work-based clinical professional practice.

You will spend five weeks completing a 5-7 page academic argument in APA style. Each week is devoted to
one phase of the academic writing process:
1. Topic Selection & Beginning Research
2. Pre-Writing & Organization
3. Draft Writing
4. Revision
5. Final Draft
Week 1: Topic Selection & Beginning Research
Select a topic from the list of approved topics that begins on page two of this document. You will be working
with the same topic for the next five weeks. Choose a topic that is interesting but be wary of topics that elicit a
strong emotional response. We will be writing an objective academic paper in third-person perspective, which
may be difficult if you feel too personally connected to the topic.
As you begin to gather research on the topic, start organizing your work into an annotated bibliography. You
will submit your annotated bibliography for grading and feedback at the end of Week 1. You will use a working
thesis statement to guide you. These items may need to be revised before you move forward.
Week 2: Pre-Writing & Organization
After gathering sufficient research, you will begin to build a credible argument about the topic, which may
require revisions to your working thesis statement. You will submit an outline of your academic argument for
grading and feedback at the end of Week 2. The outline may need to be revised before you move forward.
Week 3: Draft Writing
You will utilize your annotated bibliography and outline as tools to write a rough draft essay. The annotated
bibliography provides you with your research notes while the outline guides you through the structure of your
argument. You will submit a rough draft of your academic argument for grading and feedback at the end of
Week 3. You will have time to fully revise your draft over the remaining two weeks of class.
Week 4: Revision
The revision process contains a number of steps that may overlap and repeat. This includes additional research,
more writing, proofreading, editing, and content revision. You must consider and apply the feedback you
received throughout class as you revise your rough draft. You are expected to use Week 4 as an opportunity for
careful and thorough revision.
Week 5: Final Draft
The final week of class will culminate in the submission of your Final Research Paper. This is the final,
complete, error-free version of your academic argument. The final draft is worth 30% of your final grade in this
class.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Lab Report Reflection
During my student teaching experience and my first year of teaching, I noticed that many students struggled to coherently write about their results or
conclusions at the end of a lab. Therefore, during my second year of teaching, to help my students strengthen their writing skills, I decided to
incorporate a few lessons on the procedures of writing a lab report. Once we had covered the essential parts of the "Scientific Method," we segwayed
into discussing the importance of lab reports in the real–world. We talked about how scientists use them to communicate results, as well as discussed
how writing them would develop and sharpen my student's scientific inquiry skills and scientific thinking. Initially, writing a lab report is a very...show

Normally, based on their level of understanding, students will choose to either work as a group or complete the assignment individually. After the
students complete their lab report, we discuss the activity, analyzing the process and answering any questions.
(4) Moreover, after the completion of the two activities mentioned above (whole class and small–groups), I explain that throughout the school year,
students will be completing different labs and will be required to submit a lab report if they want to receive credit for participating. At this point, we
complete a short density lab and though students work together, they must write their report independently. Since this lab report is the first one they
will submit for a grade, I usually provide lots of feedback and am lenient with the grade, deducting very few points for errors. However, as the year
progresses and the labs increase in complexity, my expectations for student reports also increase significantly, because I expect my students to improve
and begin mastering this skill. Towards mid–year, I begin deducting more points for once–insignificant mistakes.
(5) Lastly, usually toward the end of the second quarter/ beginning of the third quarter, I no longer provide students with a copy of the lab report
template. Instead, I provide them with a checklist (shown below) to help guide the process and keep their attention focused on the critical aspects of the

On Plate I (LB) and Plate II (LB + Ampicilin), E.coli growth was expected to occur. Since the environment was not selective in Plate I, growth was
expected to be found as lawn. This prediction was confirmed by the experiment. On Plate II, it was expected that either lawn or colonies would be
found. The observed growth occured as lawn. On Plate III (YPD) growth was predicted, given the presence of all the nutrients that the auxotrophic
yeasts cannot synthetize. Due to the usual non–selectivity of the medium, lawn was the expected type of growth. However, growth actually manifested
as red colonies, an occurrence which will be explained in the Discussion section. On Plate IV (YNB, –AA) and Plate V (YNB, –AA, +5% AS) no
growth was expected to happen given the absence of amino acids, which the auxotrophic yeast could not synthetize. The results were as predicted. On
Plate VI (YNB, +AA–Arg, –AS ), it was expected to obtain colonies, due to the selectivity of the environment. This indeed was observed, in the form

Research Report
In the past, disabled students–students with physical and emotional/behavioral problems–were often segregated from the "normal classroom
environments." The segregation of students, either through special schools or home–based tutoring, was justified for various reasons. Separate schools
provided specialized services, tailored to meet the educational needs of children with a specific type of handicap. Moreover, this freed the regular
public schools of having to provide services and infrastructure needs of the disabled student population (Circle of Inclusion Project, 2003).
More recently, there has been a movement towards full inclusion––integrating students with disabilities into regular classes. In 1975, a law...show more

Some critics argue that placing a special needs education student in a regular classroom is likely to consume too much of an already overworked
teacher's attention.
Furthermore, some parents worry that the standards of the curriculum will lower due to inclusion of these students, and that the general students cannot
focus as well due to distractions.
Critics also note that there are significant administrative issues that must be addressed. Courses must be taught differently, and schools must be staffed
and managed differently. In some cases, schools may have to invest in significant capital improvements to accommodate students with special needs.
The National Education Association (NEA) recommends that inclusive class size be no higher than 28, and that disabled students should make up no
more than 25 percent of the class (Hines, R. 2001).
Even though teachers agree with the principle of inclusion, they may not feel prepared to work in inclusive settings. With full inclusion, there may be a
shift in classroom control and less individual space for the teacher––having to share the learning environment, which is not what the "traditionally
trained teacher" is accustomed to (Woolfolk, A. 2001). There is likely more time required for collaborative

To refuse an invitation is viewed much like it would be in the United States. If it were necessary to decline an invitation, it would not be viewed
offensively. When refusing an invitation, you would use a polite manner, as would be expected in any country, usually explaining the reasons for your
absence. Eye contact is important when communicating in Ireland, as would be in any country. When conversing with someone it is appropriate to
maintain eye contact, not allowing your eyes to wonder, and give the impression of disinterest. When non–verbally communicating, nodding your head
is acceptable, where as when disagreeing shaking your head is acceptable.1
When in a social or business setting, there is no information alluding to inappropriate subjects. However, you should most likely exercise your best

1. Introduction
Stylish is a hairdressing business that currently owns and operates two hairdressing salons in inner Melbourne: Carlton and South Melbourne. The
owners of the business (hereon the client) are interested in expanding their operations, and have identified the Prahran area as a possible location for
the establishing of a third salon. The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information to the client about: i) the overall viability of
establishing a salon in the Prahran area; and ii) key management and marketing issues that need to be considered in ensuring the success and
profitability of any proposed new outlet. Note that the study considers the viability of the business in broad management and marketing terms only; it
does not provide a comprehensive financial analysis of the proposed expansion. In the investigation of these issues, two analytical concepts were used,
namely Mega Environment and Task Environment. The Mega Environment is concerned with the external environment in which a business operates;
the Task Environment considers conditions that a business faces in its immediate environment (Bartol, Tein, Mathews, Sharma & Scott–Ladd 2008).
Data for the study came from a range of sources related to both these environments including: industry research reports,
