    I have used a descriptive decision tree to analyze your situation. Using a decision tree to evaluate and depict your issue allowed me to weigh the different possible outcomes with their associated consequences and probabilities. There are three separate attachments I will be referring to throughout the discussion of my results. I used the probabilities given in your memorandum with the various costs associated with each option and calculated the expected monetary value (EMV) for each alternative. The expected monetary value is the estimated probabilistic value for each option. An EMV allows you to gage the expected costs and/or profits you will be facing regarding each option. Given that we are trying to reduce your costs as much as possible, the lowest EMV is the most desirable option.…

    I believe that this is an ideal method. It makes the educator not only focus on the objectives to be covered but the evidence that is wanted from the student to provide their understanding. It makes a larger calling to have authentic, real-world designed assessment based, rather than just a paper and pencil tests. It takes thorough collaboration or autonomy along with creativity to target interests and levels of the students to be assessed. Overall, the UbD format is based on the content & understanding, evidence, and the learning plan which is completed in 3 stages. Specifically, three items are examined in stage one (a) transfer, (b) meaning-making, and (c) acquisitions (McTighe & Wiggins, 2011). Next, stage 2 of the UbD…

    One of the most important features of emerging adulthood is that this age period allows for exploration in love, work, and worldviews more than any other age period. The process of identity formation emerges in adolescence but mostly takes place in emerging adulthood. Regarding love, although adolescents in the United States usually begin dating between ages 12 and 14, they usually view this dating as recreational. It is not until emerging adulthood that identity formation in love becomes more serious.[4] While in the United States during adolescence dating usually occurs in groups and in situations such as parties and dances, in emerging adulthood, relationships last longer and often include sexual relations as well as cohabitation.[5]…

    Most young people believe that studying in a different country is a privilege because they are able to experience other cultures, and learn from them. However, in the United States it is not as good as they thought because International students have much more pressure being in this country, and sometimes they cannot handle it very well. Therefore, in the United States the life of an international student is very unfavorable if people compare it to the life of an American student. International students have to learn a new language to study, they cannot work while studying, and their tuition is much more expensive.…
