Week 7 speech

Presentation Revised Self-Introduction Speech

Begin by reviewing your work over the session in the various speaking opportunities you have had in this course, putting particular focus on your Self-Introduction that you presented in Week 1. Then think about a professional context, such as a job fair, a work dinner, an industry conference, or a job interview—any professionally based situation in which you may need to introduce yourself to someone who does not know you. Consider the following:

 Who are you professionally?

 How will you explain that in a short amount of time?

What's a good response when someone prompts, "Tell me about yourself?"

As you consider these questions, begin to gather and rehearse ideas for an elevator pitch that introduces you to someone new. Notes or an outline are recommended but not required to be submitted. You should have an audience present for this presentation, even if the audience is not professionally connected to or well known by you. The audience-centered focus for what you say should be someone unknown. This presentation should combine all of your improvement, your professional communication, and your communicative identity into a tight elevator pitch that you may use and revise for years to come.

DeVry MATH114 Week 1 Discussion Latest Exploring Factors

(Graded)

 Let's look more closely at the greatest common factor (GCF) of a problem. Apply your knowledge of GCFs (13.1) to simplify a problem presented by a classmate. You will need to factor the problem and post your simplified expression. Then, post another example for someone else to simplify. I will start the discussion with this expression. Simplify: 56x7 + 21x4 + 63x3 I am looking forward to seeing your problem and simplified expressions. Don't forget to check that your classmate answered correctly. Each time you post, you should post a solution and a new problem for a classmate to solve. This keeps the discussion fresh and provides you with many solutions on the week's topics. Use these as references if you are stuck on a topic. Please don't everyone answer my original problem (this will get really boring!), but look at the bottom of the discussion for the latest one posted by a classmate and respond to it. Try this one or the original one to start you off and let's work from there. Remember, no repeats! 

DeVry MATH 114 Week 2 Discussion Latest Special Factors Techniques (Graded)

As you become more familiar with factoring, you will notice there are some factoring problems that follow specific patterns.These patterns are known as a difference of squares; a perfect square trinomial; a difference of cubes; and a sum of cubes. Choose one of the four forms above. In your own words, explain the pattern that allows you to recognize the binomial or trinomial as having special factors.Then provide an example of a binomial or trinomial expression that may be factored using the special technique you explained.

DeVry MATH114 Week 3 Discussion Latest Graphs (Graded)

This week, we begin graphing systems of simultaneous equation. Before we begin looking at the many graphs you can find out on the Web, let's review our knowledge of 2-D graphs. These graphs are known as 2-D because they have two axes. One you are familiar with is the xy-graph, which has an x axis and a y-axis.Please provide one fact about these graphs. If you do not remember them, use the book or the Internet to find terminology associated with these graphs. There are a lot of terms associated with these graphs, so please do not repeat a classmate's term. You may also discuss different types of standard graphs that you might have seen and should recognize. Let's see what you know about graphs.

DeVry MATH 114 Week 4 Discussion Latest Solving Systems of Equations (Graded)

There are three ways of solving systems of linear equations: graphing, substitution, and elimination. Post a problem and show your step-by-step solution using one of the three methods. Now go and check out a classmate’s problem and solution. Is he or she correct? If not, are you able to point out the error so he or she can fix it? Let's help each other find those common mistakes that we all make but are hard to track down in our solutions. Don’t forget to do a check! Put your points into the original equation and check that they make both equations true. Why is this so important? If your point does not work in your original problem, your solution is not correct. Don't forget to show your check process. 

DeVry MATH 114 Week 5 Discussion Latest Square Roots (Graded)

Many famous people have made contributions to the field of mathematics. This week, as we begin our study of square roots, let's explore the life of Pythagoras and his contribution to the world of mathematics. Write one short paragraph (5–10 sentences) that provides us with a snapshot of one part of his life, his discoveries, or the famous theorem that we still use today. 

DeVry MATH114 Week 6 Discussion Latest Solving Equations Using Square Roots (Graded)

Apply your knowledge of square roots to solve equations involving them. Show your step-by-step solution. Then, post another example for someone else to solve. Remember, each problem should have two solutions. I will start the discussion with this expression. Solve: (5x - 4)2= 36 Don't forget to check that your classmate answered correctly! 

DeVry MATH114 Week 7 Discussion Latest Understanding Functions (Graded)

 Functions seem like they have a language of their own. Let’s look at this new language and the terms it uses. You see terms such as: relation, function, functional notation, x-intercept, y-intercept, axis of symmetry, maximum (of a function), minimum (of a function), and vertex. Pick one of these terms and explain the term to your classmates in your own words. Then review a classmate's explanation of the term and comment on it. Do you have a better way to understand the term? Share your way with us.

DeVry COLL148 Week 6 Discussion Latest 2017 January

 Thinking Critically About Motivation (Graded)

 A theory is an explanation. Put simple, when we offer an explanation for a phenomenon, we are offering our theory. There are several theories to explain various phenomena. There are theories to explain why brains develop Alzheimer's disease, why the seasons change, how to design artificial intelligence, and so forth. Some theories are widely accepted as sound and reasonable for the explanations they offer. Other theories can be argued. Still, in other cases, sometimes a theory is sound and reasonable, but there is one element of the theory that is a point of contention. Your critical thinking skills are what help you analyze a theory by taking it apart. The theory we will analyze in this discussion forum is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Let's explore a theory introduced in the textbook, and let's discuss it to develop and sharpen our critical thinking skills. As critical thinkers who are analyzing a theory, we are not interested in evaluations yet. Analysis comes first. So, let's try to avoid saying whether we agree or disagree with the theory. Let's instead just analyze the theory for now. Follow along in each new conversation thread.

For example, Sukiennik and Raufman (2016) encouraged you to explore the things that you cherish and note them because this will reveal something about what you value. They also suggested you examine the positions and opinions you’re willing to state publicly as a way to uncover the values that are guiding and influencing your behavior. Another way is to explore your accomplishments and examine how these life experiences reflect the things you regard as important. Below are the various approaches you can take to clarify your values.
