Plane Mirror Reflection The most familiar mirror of all reflecting surfaces is the plane mirror. Visible light radiation is reflected through its making, which normally is consisted of a planar or flat piece of glass, on which a silver coating is placed which produces a reflection of the visible light radiation. The motion of this radiation, is inevitably, quite unique. Its motion is like a wave in nature, but it can be broken down by drawing rays that demonstrates the direction of the wave propagation
A Speaker’s Reflections Robert Hayden’s poem “Those Winter Sundays” is a reflection the speaker has regarding his father. An analysis of the poem’s tone and language reveals the speaker regrets his father did so much for the family and “no one ever thanked him”. It is obvious the speaker feels regret for the way he behaved toward his father in the past by examining the phrases in the poem, particularly with the description of the father. The connotations of the language used in this description
A Reflection on Mark My Words: Letters of a Businessman to his Son by G Kingsley Ward Common sense is a disappearing art form not only from business but also from society. It used to be that students seeking a higher education would go to school to build around their common sense. Today students go to school in the hopes of attaining common sense. I'm afraid our society has become so emotionally driven that decisions are made on emotion rather than common sense. Certainly emotions are not bad
and combined with the speed of sound to find the acoustic impedance. . The acoustic impedance of water was 1575±29kgm^(-2) s^(-1) and the acoustic impedance of paraffin was 1066.6±32kgm^(-2) s^(-1) . To check that these values were correct the reflection coefficient of a boundary between paraffin and water was calculated using the acoustic impedances of the liquid, then found by comparing the amplitudes of the transmitted and reflected waves. The values were 0.192±0.02 and 0.13±0.02, which are
I awoke the morning of September 11th in the usual manner, my T.V. was programmed to turn on at 7 a.m. and so it was no accident that the news was on, still something was different. There was no banter between Katie Couric and Matt Lauer and they were not talking about the usual trivialities, instead there was ³live² coverage of ³big² events unfolding in downtown Manhattan. Though I still felt groggy, I tried to focus in on the T.V., I saw smoke billowing from the World Trade Center Towers, notice
Reflections on the Analytic/Continental Divide My friends in the English department often ask me to explain the difference I so often talk about between analytic and continental philosophy. For some odd reason they want to relate our discipline with theirs in an effort, maybe, to understand both better. Thus, I welcome the opportunity offered by Schuylkill's general theme this year to give a very general and un-rigorous presentation on Philosophy, intended for the University Community at large
Learning to Speak: Reflections of a Learner in ENG 100 This summer, after I was informed that I had been offered a teaching assistantship, I was terrified. I was not sure that I was capable of teaching students about a discipline in which I still possessed such a conscious doubt of my own abilities. For most of my life I was what you might call a non-achiever. When my parents strongly suggested that I enroll in college (the other option being to leave the house) everyone around me just sort
Reflection in a Stranger Being on a college campus, you are surrounded by many different kinds of people. Whether you get to know them personally or you just know the familiar faces, some of those people will remind you of friends at home, family members, neighbors, and even yourself. This is what I have experienced here at UVM. I have met so many people that have certain characteristics that remind me of the friends from home whom I miss dearly. But most of all, it is the people I see that
Much like Benjamin Franklin believed, I feel that a person should take advantage of the time the person has in life with activities a person wants to do or needs to do. A person should not spend much time on activities the person does not want to do. Life is way too short to concern oneself with work or other activities one wants nothing to do with all the time. When possible, I try to forget about my responsibility and just let go of the ‘things’ that do not matter to me. I think a person should
Reflection on Alternative Assessments Traditional and alternative assessments share some key elements, yet differ as well. All assessments, whether given as a test after a unit or alternative, should be measurable and be reliable and valid by having clear criteria to measure the learning targets. Traditional and alternative assessments generally differ in timing, feedback, student's involvement, and how the teacher uses the information. The time in which traditional assessments such as after
hope, despair, and insecurity that awaits us through mankind's incessant addiction with reflection. "Mirror" expresses the problems associated with aging through terse comparisons between reality and desire. Plathe's strength of "Mirror" lies in its ability to establish a solid comparison among appearance and human emotions between the first and second stanzas. At first "Mirror" introduces reflection as a precise and accurate force through utilizing the first person perspective of a mirror:
Reflection is an active process whereby we gain an understanding of how our professional experiences have contributed to our professional development. As a pragmatic learner, I understand the value of reflection as I consider previous experiences to determine the best course of action. From my earlier clinical placements and from feedback on my assessment forms I have identified some areas where my attitude and professional outlooks have matured and changed. My confidence, competence, knowledge,
change. In the beginning the changes are simple, like the acts of day turning to night, but at the end we see the life changes of a woman in particular. Through the use of metaphor and personification in the poem, Plath creates images of water, reflections, and colors as having human characteristics to emphasize the strong theme of change throughout the poem. Therefore throughout the poem “mirror” Plath uses several elements of terror and darkness to show change in the minds of readers.
Year One Reflections My first year in the doctoral program challenged me with newfound learning in an exciting environment. I am so pleased I learned new concepts and principles about leadership. Amazingly, I retained the information better because the year involved practical work. I am grateful for the experience because I was introduced to skills applicable to my life. As I reflect on the years learning, I could not be more excited about what is to come next. The Hero’s Journey assignment became

This paper attempts give insight into my reflection of my group decision process. Group Presentation Reflection Division of tasks and duties is not always an easy process. Some people have no problem with dividing of the responsibilities, while others do. I have never really set back
The intention of this written essay is to demonstrate an understanding of my views on reflection and the issues surrounding reflective practice. It is based on nursing skills that I used during my practice placement, most importantly reflecting on the professional value of privacy and dignity. I will be using the What? Model of Structured reflection suggested by Driscoll (2000), a recognised framework for reflection to demonstrate my ability to reflect on a clinical skill with the professional value
the assignment, I learned why it is important to have a classroom management plan. 2. Reflect and discuss how the content in Module 2 prepared you to demonstrate mastery on the assignment in Module 2. The assignment for module 2 was to write a reflection over the content provided by the module. There were two articles that I had to read. However, the articles focused on one main point: classroom management. While I was reading the articles provided by module 2, I highlighted the main points and

Personal reflection is when you ask yourself thought provoking questions so that you can develop a deeper level of understanding about yourself (Holdefer). Personal reflection isn’t always the easiest thing to do. You generally have to think about things before you can write about them. There really isn’t a right or wrong answer when it comes to personal reflection. When reflecting you need to consider why you are feeling a certain way or why you did something a certain way. We often just look at
