This activity investigates the oceanographic and climatic characteristics of El NiÃo/La NiÃa (ENSO) events using observational data from moored ocean buoys in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Data are obtained from NOAA's Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) project website which provides a web-based interface for accessing and displaying oceanographic data. In addition to providing an introduction to ENSO, this activity is designed to give students practice interpreting real oceanographic observations by emphasizing the description and identification of patterns in large data-sets. Students first describe patterns in sea-surface and cross-sectional transects of ocean temperatures and surface winds associated with "normal", El NiÃo, and La NiÃa years and then use this as a basis for classifying observations from unknown years and interpreting connections between oceanographic and atmospheric processes occurring in the tropical Pacific.

The attached PDF file contains the same activity differentiated for 2 types of content.1. The first page deals with the Present Simple and the second one deals with the Present Progresive. 2. The students can complete this activity in many different ways. They can work individually or in groups and then can complete the activity in writitng or simply by replying the instructors questions.  

Aprenderemos aspectos destacados del Clasicismo musical. Conoceremos a los principales compositores y sus obras más características. Interpretaremos alguna de ellas. Y en el apartado de curiosidades, ampliaremos nuestro conocimiento.

In late September (of an election year), one class session is devoted to developing a list of issues key to the class and likely to be discussed by the candidates. The list is converted into 3-5 questions all students will research and answer. Each student is assigned a candidate (President, Governor, congress, state legislature). An effort is made to assign each student a candidate who will appear on his/her ballot and to assign third party candidates.

Student research candidates' positions using web resources, news papers, and campaign materials. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the campaign directly and question the candidate, if possible.

Students report back to the class with a 3-5 minute presentation and a poster that may be displayed in a college commons area. Reports are presented a week prior to the election.

Electric Circuit Analysis problems for the WeBWorK open online homework system. Includes problems from second-year level (both Circuits I and II), as well as review problems from first-year.

The "tested" problems have been deployed in a class. The "untested" problems have been tested by the creators, but not yet deployed in a class.

These problems need to be uploaded into an instance of WeBWorK to use/assign them.

Math in Real Life (MiRL) supports the expansion of regional networks to create an environment of innovation in math teaching and learning.  The focus on applied mathematics supports the natural interconnectedness of math to other disciplines while infusing relevance for students.  MiRL supports a limited number of networked math learning communities that focus on developing and testing applied problems in mathematics.  The networks help math teachers refine innovative teaching strategies with the guidance of regional partners and the Oregon Department of Education.

There are many benefits to EHRs — improved accessibility to patient data, increased charge capture and improved preventative health — there are inherent problems in adopting this technology.

EHR planning need to identify and eliminate waste in processes that involve the use of EHRs to ensure positive outcomes before making large investments. Lean management in healthcare is a valuable tool way to meet this objective as it educates hospital executives, clinicians and staff to seek out and eliminate waste.

Implementing new technology can create more problems, and the results can be "bad," or worse, "ugly." It is imperative that healthcare executives understand the benefits and challenges of EHRs and what can be done to eliminate them.

Electronic money is money which exists only in banking computer systems and is not held in any physical form. In the United States, only a small fraction of the exists in physical form. The need for physical currency has declined as more and more citizens use electronic alternatives to physical currency.

Complete set of mobile friendly Elementary Algebra sample exams with solutions. In addition, there are links to pdf versions and a sample final exam with answers.

This workbook was originally created by mathematics instructors at Scottsdale Community College in Scottsdale, Arizona. Jennifer Nohai-Seaman has edited their version to fit the needs of the students and professors at Housatonic Community College. It is designed to lead students through Elementary Algebra and to help them develop a deep understanding of the concepts. Special thanks to the Developmental Studies Department at Housatonic Community College and the Math Department at Middlesex Community College for their valuable and immeasurable input.
