This document outlines the requirements for a two-part project on designing a better future town. Part A involves individual work submitting an A4 report and video presentation by November 6th. Part B involves group work to design and build a physical model of the town no larger than A2 size and 600mm tall, using recyclable materials. This is to be presented along with an A2 presentation board on December 4th. The group must document the process and upload materials to an e-portfolio.
The document compares the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Taj Mahal. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was constructed from 1173 to 1372 in Pisa, Italy as a bell tower. In contrast, the Taj Mahal in Agra, India was built from 1631 to 1653 as a mausoleum to honor Shah Jahan's wife. While the Leaning Tower is made of limestone and leans due to its poor foundation, the Taj Mahal features white marble inlaid with jewels. The two structures differ in their functions, materials, and reasons for construction.

This document provides information about an English language module called English 1. The module aims to prepare students for tertiary studies by developing their academic writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills. It will focus on 5-paragraph essay writing, referencing, analyzing texts, extracting information from diagrams, listening to conversations, and oral presentations. The module will be delivered over 18 weeks through lectures, tutorials, and self-study. It assesses students on their ability to write essays, apply referencing, analyze texts, extract information, listen, identify main ideas, and give oral presentations.
This project involves students visiting a nature site to observe and document various natural elements. They must then create an info graphic pop-up poster representing their findings, a travelogue video of their experience, and an individual scrapbook journal. The poster must focus on one topic related to the site's ecosystem and include researched information and site documentation. The video should introduce the location and document students' experiences through their five senses. The journal is for students to personally reflect on their understanding of nature and describe plant and animal species. Students will present and submit their work in groups and individually for evaluation.
Urban planning is the process of designing and regulating the use of land in urban areas. Urban planners work with local authorities to plan new developments by conducting research, analyzing economic and environmental factors, and presenting development proposals and master plans to authorities for approval. As part of the pre-construction planning process, urban planners meet with stakeholders, study the site and surroundings, assess feasibility of projects, and identify needed changes before submitting applications to local authorities for review and approval.
This project involves students visiting a nature site to observe and document various natural elements. They must then create an info graphic pop-up poster representing their findings, a short documentary video about their experience, and an individual scrapbook journal. The poster must focus on one topic related to the site's ecosystem and include researched information and documentation of elements from their 10x10m study area. The video should introduce the site and document their experience through sights, sounds, smells, touches and tastes. The journal is for students to personally reflect on their understanding of nature and describe one plant and animal species through illustrations. Students will present their poster and be assessed on their participation, work progress, and final project submissions.
Robert is motivated by the reward of eating his sister's secret recipe if he gets an A on his test. This is an example of extrinsic motivation. Robert discriminates against bikers, thinking they are all bad, and hurries home to avoid them. Robert feels post-decision dissonance after watching football with his friends, thinking he should have studied instead. He makes a dispositional attribution about his friend Jacob, assuming he will do poorly on the exam because he judges Jacob to be lazy.

This document discusses key concepts relating to message design and communication, including:
[1] It defines a message as facts, feelings, or information a communicator aims to convey to an audience. [2] It identifies three dimensions of message - code, content, and treatment. Code refers to the symbols and structure used. Content is the selected material. Treatment is how the message is delivered. [3] It provides characteristics of an effective message, such as being clear, relevant, and motivating to the audience. The summary also discusses message treatment strategies and potential types of message distortion.
The document provides details about the ancient city of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec civilization founded in 1325. It describes the city's layout as built on an island in a lake, with a grid plan and connected to the mainland by three causeways. The center of the city contained large temples and plazas. It highlights the city's advanced water and agricultural systems, including aqueducts, dikes, and floating gardens called chinampas, which allowed the large population to be sustained. The document concludes by noting elements of Tenochtitlan's design that could be applied to the future city, such as its layout and structure centered around a large temple tower.
The document appears to be a Haiku Deck presentation containing photos credited to various photographers. Over 20 photos are shown with captions crediting the photographer for each image. At the end, the viewer is prompted to create their own Haiku Deck presentation on SlideShare.
The document summarizes key concepts from social psychology including stereotyping, operant conditioning, altruism, social learning, and the looking-glass self. It provides definitions and examples of how each concept applies to characters in a comic script about a student named Calvin who helps a bully named James with his studies. Calvin's father stereotyped him based on his appearance. Mrs. Lee used operant conditioning by complimenting Calvin's work. Calvin acted altruistically in helping James despite past unhappiness. James bullied others after learning from his abusive father through social learning. James formed his self-image based on how others judged him, relating to the looking-glass self concept.
This document reports on a charity drive event organized by a group called Meatball Mania Charity Drive. They held a week-long event on campus to raise funds for Pertiwi Soup Kitchen by selling food. They analyzed competition, selected products from IKEA, obtained some sponsorships, and promoted their event. In total they raised over RM2,700 in net profit to donate. Their main products like IKEA meatballs and curry puffs sold well due to popularity. The group worked well together to plan and run the successful event.
Robert is motivated to study hard for his final exams by the promise of his sister's secret recipe spaghetti if he scores an A. Though initially reluctant to study, Robert puts in effort due to his love of food. After scoring an A, Robert's friend Jacob accuses him of cheating during the exam. This causes conflict between them. While walking home after watching a football match with friends, Robert feels regret over not studying. He also discriminates against motorcyclists he sees. After being hit by a car while celebrating his exam results with his sister, Robert reflects on the events that transpired.
This document provides instructions for a final project in an Introduction to Drawing course. Students will work in groups to select a 10m x 10m site on their university campus to document with orthographic drawings. They must complete plans, elevations, sections, and a detail drawing of the site at various scales. Drawings are to be compiled on presentation boards and must use proper drawing conventions, techniques, and annotations. The final drawings are due on November 25th.
This document provides a compare and contrast essay analyzing the films Catching Fire and Insurgent. Both films are adaptations of popular young adult dystopian novels and feature strong female protagonists. While the films share some similarities as sequels with dystopian futures, the essay argues they differ in key ways such as plot, character personalities and depths, and the directors' approaches. It concludes that it prefers Insurgent overall as the personality of Tris is more relatable than Katniss.
