21L.488 Contemporary Literature (MIT)
This semester, Contemporary Literature (21L.488) deals with Irish literature, a subject broad and deep. To achieve a manageable volume of study, the course focuses primarily on poetry and prose, at drama's expense, and on living writers, at the expense of their predecessors. Each class session follows a discussion format, often with students assigned to lead-off or summarize the day's topic.
Espacio y tiempo en la didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales (2013)
El aprendizaje de las nociones de tiempo y de espacio constituye un hito esencial en el proceso de desarrollo personal en la Educación Primaria. Esta etapa es además determinante para la adquisición progresiva de la conciencia del tiempo y del espacio, que desempeña un papel decisivo en el proceso de aprendizaje y en la propia capacidad de adaptación al medio social. Por ello, el principal objetivo de esta asignatura consiste precisamente en analizar la evolución del alumnado de primaria e

2.5 Sodium (Na), chlorine (Cl) and potassium (K) The element sodium is a soft silvery metal and the element chlorine is a greenish gas that is poisonous to humans and many other animals. Yet when these two elements are combined together in a compound called sodium chloride, the properties are quite different. Sodium chloride in its solid form is composed of white crystals and we call it salt. When salt dissolves in water, the constituent sodium ions, Na+, and chloride ions, Cl− , become separated. Both of these ions
4.2.2 Catalyst performance Figure 3 shows the difference in the emission levels for CO, VOC and NOx for a vehicle, with and without a three-way catalytic converter. It is evident that the catalytic converter reduces the emissions of all three classes of pollutants quite dramatically over a wide range of speeds. Before we discuss the data in any detail, a few words about how they were obtained are in order. 3.1 What does TCP/IP protocol architecture do? The Internet is a worldwide public internetwork, which allows computers to communicate with each other even though they may have different manufacturers and different operating systems. The origins of the Internet lie in a project of the US Defense Advanced Research Project Agency in the 1970s, where it was intended to foster communication between research institutions rather than operate for profit. However, a substantial amount of traffic carried by the Internet is now related to com Introduction This unit examines the subject of brain-based learning, with a particular focus on the development of the young child's brain and is of particular relevance to those who work with young children. We begin by looking at the structure and functions of the brain, and the impact that sensory deprivation can have on these. We consider the implications of current understandings of brain development for teaching and learning, particularly in an early years setting, and finish by exploring the value Science Research Showcase 1.1 Effective course study Research into how people study effectively suggests that it is important to pay attention not only to the content of what we are trying to learn but also to the process of our learning. Time spent on the process of how you are learning need not be a distraction from achieving your learning goals. It should support your efforts to achieve them. However, thinking about the process of your own learning is not something which typically forms part of most formal courses of study. Most people Open Classroom 12/01/2011 - #2 Rosengren Presentation 3.7.4 Explaining You need to be able to think of things from your reader's point of view. The reader cannot see into your mind so you have to explain your points quite fully and carefully. You need to give examples to illustrate what you are talking about and to justify what you say. In other words, you need a sense of your ‘audience’ and you have to work out how to ‘speak’ to these readers in the right ‘tone of voice’. 8.3.6 Deep silicon etching MEMS structures often require etching to a much greater depth than is needed for microelectronics. A rate of 1–2 μm min−1 may be quite sufficient for making transistors less than 1 mm deep, but to etch through 600 mm of silicon to form an accelerometer would take all day. The advent of MEMS and wafer-level packaging applications, therefore, brought a need for yet faster anisotropic etches, requiring advances both in the process and in the etching equipment.

For example, a commitment to working in partnership and to empowering service users also entails a commitment to anti-oppressive practice. It is important to be clear, however, that these values are not necessarily set out in legislation. For example, while you will find legislation preventing discrimination on the basis of race, sex or disability, you will not find similar legislation promoting anti-oppres Learning outcomes After studying this course, you should be able to: understand the underlying values and justifications of teaching art and art history within the school curriculum understand developing strategies to explore and engage with some of the subject criticisms voiced understand enhancing and supporting pupil engagement with and exploration of these issues understand extending teaching approaches that incorporate some of these values and ide Defining a process of design and learning of digital graphics by means of distance education

Speaker(s): Dr Ruben Andersson, Professor Lilie Chouliaraki, Dr Myria Georgiou, Dr Pierluigi Musarò | This panel reflects upon the dramatic recent increase of deaths in the Mediterranean and discusses the pressures that these deaths are exerting upon the concept and practice of collective responsibility in Europe. Crucial to the continent's own liberal self-description, the ethics of responsibility is today suspended between European democracies' moral imperative to save the lives of vulnerable

This paper describes and analyses the teaching/learning approach which progressively is being established in the context of the Digital Graphics Post-Graduation Course. The method used has, basically, generated educational situations able to increase the self-learning capacity of the students; develop skills for collaborative activities to build the knowledge and overtake the limits of time and space imposed by traditional educational systems. The theoretical references adopted to draw the didac
