Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
I chose the sculpture Love and Loss by Roy McMakin because the other sculptures were more objective and I could quickly tell what they were. When I first saw the work, I didn't understand what some winding paths, benches, a tree, and a table had to do with love and loss. Then I read on the plaque that in order to fully appreciate the piece, you would have to interact with it by sitting in it, touching it, and walking through it. I walked up to what I assumed was the beginning and walked on the winding "S" shapes, sat on one of the benches, walked around the tree and stood at the table. I came up with an elaborate explanation for Love and Loss that turned out to not be what McMakin intended. I thought the winding paths represented the paths that everyone takes to experience love. The benches had a part of them painted a different color from the rest of it and I thought that signified finding the right person for you to love. The tree was about the only thing I got right by assuming it represented change and a cycle. Since it separated the table from the other parts, I thought the table was what represented loss, especially since it was covered in torn rags. I left the park feeling very inspired but when I looked up what the actual meaning was, I was disappointed. It turns out that the shapes of the furniture and tree spell out the words "love" and "loss". After learning that, I realized that perhaps I come up with overly-elaborate explanations for things I do not understand.

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7pXZ8M0NPU This commercial has the fallacy of dubious authority. You shouldn't base a purchase on what "a very smart little girl" or a sports show host say. I don't think that the fallacy was committed purposely. The company probably hired someone who would appeal to people and a little girl makes the viewers feel like they aren't being tricked because a little girl is innocent.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz_lwGP4IOQ This beer commercial's fallacies are allness and bandwagon argument. It makes it seem as though only "good" people drink this beer. Most normal people want to be good people so they should only drink Heineken Light. Also, the appearance of an attractive celebrity asking you for a favor makes it seem as though you will be like her because she is talking to you.

Self-Assessment
This class was the one that I learned the most unexpected things from but I learned nonetheless. From fallacies to information credibility, this was a very interesting class. The Always Wanted To Project allowed me to have an excuse to do something that I was interested in but probably would have put off doing and now I can continue riding my Wave board for more than just for an assignment. The way the class was run made me feel comfortable because we were allowed to think more freely than other classes. I would have liked the class better if I didn't have to get up at 7:00 to get ready for it though. It is because of this class that I realized that I cannot have a morning class on a Friday. During the first few classes I struggled to stay awake, not because I was bored but because I was so tired from the week that I couldn't stay awake. Luckily, I became more adjusted to my schedule. I also appreciated how you participated in the projects you assigned so it didn't look like we were just being made something to do. I know feel more prepared to do research and for any quarter-long projects because of this class and it was actually fun.

My name is Samantha Watson. Im 19 and a 2008 graduate from Bonney Lake High school. My senior year I did a running start program at Pierce Community college in Puyallup which gave me college credits as well as high school credits. So instead of going directly to the Art Institute my plan was to stay there and get my AA and then transfer. However after my second year there I decided it was time for me to move on, and the rest is history! Im majoring in Fashion Marketing and hope to someday travel the world. Im not entirly sure what I want to be when I graduate here. I really just want to keep my mind open to everything that this field has to offer and then choose from there.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
I consider myself to be an art lover. Hating on art isn’t something I typically do, most of the time if I don’t like it I don’t spend too much time on it, and it’s not something I find myself dwelling on. I find art to be more fascinating then anything, you never know what the artist was thinking when they created the piece they did, it can be the most obvious thing but mean something totally different. However for this assignment knowing I was supposed to hate something made me look at art in a whole new way! While looking at the piece of “art” titled “untitled” I was rather peeved, just for the simple fact that it looks like a bench, there’s nothing original about it. I could have come up with that, it’s annoying to know that ordinary/everyday objects are turned into works of “art” and people make zillions of dollars off of it. Who would have thought to slap some concrete together in the shape of a bench, stick it in Sculpture Park and now it’s magically considered a work of “art.” Being as peeved as I was about it I was successfully able to see it from the artist’s point of view as well as all the other people that consider this art, because for some reason if you stare at it long enough it turns into different shapes, and may serve other purposes then just a bench. However I was unsuccessful in changing my mind about liking this piece. It wasn’t as if I couldn’t I just don’t think I really wanted to like it because to me it’s still a bench, and there’s only one thing about a bench that I like, and that is that you can sit on it.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
When I took my trip to the sculpture park, I instantly noticed a certain sculpture that stood out on how awful I thought it was. This was Bunyon's Chess by Mark di Suvero. I kept an open mind though, while walking through the park, just in case I found something more terrible. But, as I expected, this sculpture was the worst of the worst. Even after reading his explanation on why he would suspend large logs, it still made no sense. I saw it from every angle, and even went back when it was sunnier outside, and yet, no matter how I view it, it was the eye sore sitting on top of the park. I researched more about him and his work. All this did for me, was to realize that he was a sculpture who clearly saw his work differently than I. His work just looks like a bunch of metal all welded together. BUT, the other piece he does have in the sculpture park was a lot better than Bunyon's Chess, but still strange. While looking at his other work, I noticed that this one piece looked so much different than all of his other pieces. He also seemed to enjoy "manly" tools. I can respect him for trying to be different and also for being able to get his work into the sculpture park though.

Self-Assessment
I'm really glad that this class was on the curriculum. It really taught me how to plan things out, and that shooting for your goals is extremely important. I think what really made the class even better, was of course Steve. His way of teaching, and his way of thinking was really great. He gave us freedom to think and be creative, which is what I think the Art Institute should always allow us to a full extent. The final project made me feel really good, and gave me a strong feeling of accomplishment. I feel more prepared for my studies now because this class has reminded me again to think outside the box all the time, and critically. I liked how this class was really based on group thoughts, and getting everyone's opinion on whatever the topic of discussion was. Overall, I really enjoyed this class!

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
i chose the red bull ads not the European ones with the disclaimers at the end, but the American ones. They all state that red bull vitalizes your body and mind, or gives you wings, and stimulates your senses. In actuality I've never seen anyone drink a red bull for energy, only in mixed drinks, and they certainly didnt end up flying around, or got a perfect score on their Sat's afterwords.

Self-Assessment
I feel like this class taught me more than any of the other classes that I've taken so far at the Art Institute, or at least that I got more out of this class than I did out of the other classes I've attended. It was kind of unexpected because I wasn't really sure what the class was about, mainly because the title "General Education" was pretty broad. I quickly decided that GE was the one class in the week i looked forward to attending, The instructor, Steve, was awesome. He really made me think when he asked questions, and unlike most of the classes and education I've received in my life, I actually found myself thinking about the class even when i wasn't in it. The project that he had us do was really fun, so doing the research didn't feel like homework at all, and now I've planned a trip to Vancouver, BC to see an awesome hockey game. Basically to sum things up, I'd like to believe that the grade i got reflects how i felt about the course. I had fun, put all that I could into the projects, and even found myself participating in discussions in class, and formulating and sharing my own opinions, which is something i never did in high school, a least not willingly.

 * Topic - In recent weeks my cousin Kyle has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I hadn't thought too much about doing any kind of charity work for this project but I have been finding myself wanting to work harder towards making a difference in the world as of late. My cousin's diagnosis was very unexpected and devastating for our entire family. Most of us, if not all, had no idea what Lymphoma even was.

''[Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in lymphocytes of the immune system. They often originate in lymph nodes, presenting as an enlargement of the node (a tumor). Lymphomas are closely related to lymphoid leukemias, which also originate in lymphocytes but typically involve only circulating blood and the bone marrow (where blood cells are generated in a process termed haematopoesis) and do not usually form static tumours.]'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphoma

 * Together we made a large effort to educate ourselves about the disease and the treatments available. Doctors removed Kyle's lymph node and inserted a port in his chest. They decided he would need a minimum of 6 months of Chemotherapy as a precaution. Fortunately, the circumstances were much better than they could have been.

 * For my project I would like to learn more about Lymphoma and those affected by it and would ideally like to get involved with a foundation supporting a pursuit for the cure.

 * Research Component - Websites, support groups, and books, as well as medical professionals

 * Week 1 - Complete extensive research including risk factors, symptoms, treatment, follow-up care, and taking part in Cancer research.

 * Week 2 - Join an online support group/forum to gain a greater understanding of the disease and read stories about other families who have experienced this disease. Also, I would like to find information on how I may go about getting involved.

 * Week 3 - Make a donation to the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) www.lymphoma.org (Unfortunately, I just missed the 5K walk for LRF in Seattle, however I plan to explore other websites for more upcoming events as well as the many listed on lymphoma.org).

 * Week 4 - Continue research, join a team to collectively fundraise for the Lymphoma Research Foundation through a variety of outdoor events (running, walking, cycling).

 * Week 5 - Begin fundraising and raising awareness (Specific details still to be determined).

 * Week 6 - Continue research, fundraising, attending events/seminars to gain more information (Specific details still to be determined).

 * Week 7 - Participate in an event benefitting the Lymphoma Research Foundation, begin creating a presentation on my journey.

 * Week 8 -Present my findings, experiences, and thoughts.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
Upon arriving at the Olympic Sculpture Park, I began to browse the instillations in search of one I was, less than fond of. For the assignment I was to find a piece I did not like, based on my personal tastes, and manipulate myself into liking it. I was intrigued to discover how easily I could be manipulated and what methods I would use to do so. After minimal consideration I selected a piece entitled “Love and Loss”, created by Roy McMakin.

The piece is a functional seating area erected using concrete, paint, and enamel. It illustrates what McMakin feels is the literal intersection between love and loss. It descends slightly down the grass within the park, facing the water, and includes two benches and a reflecting pool. A small table is included to the right, depicting the “e” in the word love, as well as a tree that has been painted the same white enamel to subtly represent the “v”. A detail so subtle that one may miss it if not looking carefully. The only splash of actual color in the entire piece is the large, glowing red “&” symbol, which spins high above the rest of the instillation. The two contrasting words come together with the “o”, which also lends itself as the reflecting pool, most likely to signify that upon reflection the words love and loss are not as far from each other as one may believe.

I didn’t really find myself having a strong negative reaction to any of the pieces in the park. In fact, I found a way to initially appreciate each sculpture upon observing it. However, McMakin’s piece struck me in a slightly opposite way. I didn’t mind it too much when I first set eyes on it, and further analysis only made me appreciate it more. Despite the guidelines of the assignment, I found myself selecting “Love and Loss” so that I could research a bit more about both the instillation, as well as McMakin as an artist. Much to my surprise, I concluded the assignment disliking much of McMakin’s additional work. After some casual research, I discovered his designs include many domestic furniture and architectural pieces. I found his style to be bizarre yet unstimulating. I continued to browse his collection but was overall, unimpressed. I remained optimistic however, for my planned re-visit to the park to take another look at “Love and Loss” in person but was slightly surprised when I found myself not holding the sculpture in the same regard. I began to wonder if my dislike of the artist caused an altered perception of anything I knew to be produced by him. It was a tempting thought to explore that I may be, in fact, similar to a large part of society today.

''We are often raised and encouraged to believe that if we stand against another person, for whatever reason, we must also possess a general dislike of everything that person may stand for individually. ''

The part of this assignment that frustrated me was not the fact that my mind couldn’t be influenced to believe something of the opposite, but rather the discovery that my unintentional process of thought was conforming to that of our uninformed, ignorant society. I was almost perturbed at the thought I could fit into said classification, but began to think; maybe we need not to manipulate ourselves into protesting the status quo, but rather manipulate ourselves into accepting the fact that we reinforce it.

Self-Assessment
Upon initial commencement of the course I was unsure what exactly the criteria might be. I knew the course was required but “General Education Seminar” did little to satisfy my curiosity toward what I would learn within it. I would say it began rather swiftly. Although the classroom retained a relaxed atmosphere throughout our time there (which I thoroughly enjoyed) we were quickly immersed into the thoughts of our peers, and more importantly, into our own. Our first and most significant assignment was something that would force us to ask ourselves what we would like to accomplish, and to then pursue it. Although overwhelming, the thought of an instructor asking me what I felt I should undertake was quite refreshing. Being an assigned project it was assured to involve some objective of personal growth. However, our choices were hardly limited. This approach gave me a clear incentive to do something I might have not chosen to pursue otherwise. I enjoyed the positive idea behind encouraging each student to improve them self while still possessing creativity. The next assignment involved an attempt to manipulate our own minds into a more humble perspective and the assignment shortly following helped us to recognize how the media today is able to manipulate us as easily as they do.

Overall I realized this course to include guidance making a greater impact than any didactic course I could have possibly taken while enrolled at the Art Institute. Not only did I learn some great, factual information about different artists/influential figures in history, misology, negative capability, logical fallacies, and fads in society, but also I learned about myself. I would still like to read more into the information I was given and use what I have already learned to adopt a new perception of my both my studies, and of life.

I believe overall I could have performed better in class. I could have offered more contributions to class discussions and attempted to listen more intently. I see my contributions to the class to be more discrete, in the form of positive commentary toward my peers. I believe the largest factors in my personal growth throughout the course were, in fact, my classmates. Overall I enjoyed what I received from this required course. I could find no better way to present my thoughts about what I learned in this program than the quote by philosopher John Dewey, provided on the assignment page, in which he states:

“Perhaps the greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person learns only the particular thing they are studying at the time."

I am looking for some publications in this field.

Thanks

Abdallah Elkhyari

ESECO SYSTEMS http://www.eseco.fr

 * Nice page.

 * Do you have any background at all, in this aspect of computing? or do we need to start at the beginning, and work you up from there?

 * offhand I would say that three books will get you started:

 * Daniel C. Dennett's Consciousness explained, which is mostly an apology to the philosophers for even thinking about Consciousness as a valid subject for study.

 * Bernard J. Baar's A Cognitive Theory of Consciousness

 * and Gerald M. Edelman's A Universe of Consciousness If you like his work there are a number of past books that contain more detail about the roots of his theoretical approach.

 * there is a course on Artificial Consciousness at Artificial Consciousness that will give you some background on the underpinnings of the field.

 * As well Consciousness itself is an area of study, so you might want to look at:

 * Consciousness and Cognition (Journal) and
 * Journal of Consciousness Studies

 * There is a good article or two on Scholarpedia about machine consciousness, which is a related field, as is Cognitive Robotics.

 * I have a Forum on ResearchGATE, and a couple of threads on Network.Nature.com about my model of memory and my model of mind in the Brain Physiology, Cognition, and Consciousness Group.--Graeme E. Smith 23:26, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

--- Thank you for your reply.

I start to learn about Artificial Consiousness and I would like to work on this research field.

 * OK, first some talk page etiquette, always sign your talk page posts. If you post from multiple accounts it might be a good idea to sign with a nickname so I know that it is the same person posting, so I don't mix up multiple posters. I still might, but then it would be an accident. Have you looked at the Artificial Consciousness page? it covers a wide range of knowledge that might be useful to start with. Few people work only in Artificial Consciousness, usually they have a specialty within the larger field. For instance my present work is called Histo-Psychology and is about how the structure of nervous tissue changes the way the brain might work.

 * I work on that, because my Artificial Consciousness Model depends on a memory model, which in turn depends on the Architectonics of the Telencephalic Cortex, which includes the Cerebral Cortex. This means that as I find support for my histo-psychology work, I also find support for my Artificial Consciousness Model.

 * Pay very close attention to the philosophy of consciousness, because the problems that the philosophers have with the current understanding of consciousness, will have an impact on your work. You might for instance want to consider philpapers.org to get a background in the current philosophical discussions. I particularly like the "Explanatory Gap" thread which covers why we can't explain phenomenal information such as how it feels to be a bat, using physicalist arguments.

 * In my "The brain is representational but partly illussary" camp on Canoniser.com, (See link on the actual Forum page for details) I explain that the reason we can't is because the phenomenal philosophers are asking us to explain the illusions, not the representational system that creates them. Since the illusions are a simplification designed to streamline the control mechanisms needed to regulate the brain, explaining the representational system that detects the information on which the simplification is based, is no use for explaining the simplification. This is why I suggest we go back to before the "Brain/Mind Identity Theorem" and substitute in the Architectural Illusion Theory.--Graeme E. Smith 22:15, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

 * By the way, Is there any reason this wasn't posted on the actual forum page? It is after all a discussion about Artificial Consciousness, not about the forum itself.--Graeme E. Smith 22:24, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The other day I went down to sculpture park and I saw the Father and Son fountain which was made by Louise Bourgeois who was born in France in 1911. I think this sculpture is kind of inappropriate to be on display in a public park. I really dislike how graphic the sculpture is. If it was going to be made couldn't he have at least made it anatomically incorrect like a Ken doll. The fact that small children have to walk by this every day is is kind of disturbing, I think it might ruin their innocence.

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
I looked up more on the sculpture and I found out a lot of information about the artist. The artist's name is Louise Bourgeois, and she was born in France in 1911. Surrealism influenced a lot of the artist's work, and I think this definitely shows in this artist's piece. This is Bourgeois' only piece on the west coast. I can appreciate how the water rises and falls revealing the father and son, first one at a time, and then both together as one, so i guess their naughty parts aren't out in the open all the time. I guess the nudity kind of represents vulnerability as the two are facing each other with arms outstretched facing what seems to be an uncrossable divide. I still don't like the nudity, but the concept behind the artist's vision is actually pretty cool.

Self-Assessment
Freshman Seminar has was a very informative class. The class showed me a lot about research, like how to properly site your sources, how to know if your sources are real, or just some crazy guy ranting about how the pyramids were created by aliens. I also learned what a fallacy is, which i found very funny because there's a lot of shit out there that we see every day that is more or less a lie. The course content was fun, but still informative. I really dug Arnston's teaching style. He was witty and funny, but still kept the class into what he was teaching. I think that was pretty much due to his witty, funny teaching style though. All in all I had a fun quarter in this class. I learned a lot, and had fun while doing it.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
As I walked through the Olympic Sculpture Park I looked around and I saw some nice sculptures, but there was one in particular that I did not like I believe it was titled “Untitled” by Roy McMakin. I thought how stupid it’s a bench, how can you call a bench a piece of art. I thought the title pretty much said it all. To give something a name such as “Untitled”, to me says that Roy McMakin gave little to no thought about what he was doing at the time he was constructing this bench.

As I contemplated and researched Roy McMakin to find a reason as to why he had created something so boring and dull I tried to keep an open mind and see things from a different perspective. While researching him I found out that McMakin’s mind and the way he thinks and perceives ordinary objects such as a bench is far more intricate than the normal human being. By human nature we tend to perceive little simple things such as a bench in two dimensions and we think of it as just a bench. While on the other side of it McMakin sees it in three dimensions. Which he is trying to show us that it’s not just a bench it is a piece of art.

In conclusion I now know why Roy McMakin constructed this piece of art. He wanted us to look at things with an open mind. Now I can say that I see this bench as more than just a bench. I now actually stop and take the time to appreciate simple things that we humans have a tendency to overlook. This has even taught me not to judge things before I know what the meaning behind it is. McMakin has really helped me to see simple objects in three dimensions.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
When I went to the Sculpture Park it was kind of hard to find a sculpture that I didn't like or had no interest for. After looking around the park for about an hour I decided that I would have to pick a structure called "Wandering Rocks" made in 1967 and it was constructed by an artist named Tony Smith. I didn't think there was really anything special about the sculpture. All of the other sculptures in the park caught my attention because I thought there was at least one thing that was significant about them but "Wandering Rocks" was just plain and boring when I looked at it. All the sculpture is is some shapes of steel painted black sitting on the ground. After going home and searching for Tony Smith, I found a lot more of the sculptures that he has made and I think most of the other ones that I found online seem to be way more interesting then "Wandering Rocks." It looks like most of his sculptures are made up of the same thing, which is steel painted a certain color. The sculpture that I found at the park seems to be one of the more boring pieces of art that he has made. I don't understand why they would put that sculpture up out of the other ones that Smith made. Some of the work he has done is actually very cool and creative. One of my favorite ones that I saw online is called "Smoke" and it is at the Los Angeles county museum. After searching online for Tony Smith and looking at other sculptures that he has done I gained a little more respect for his art. I still think that "Wandering Rocks" is still boring but most of his other work that I saw was very cool and complex. It seems that people might get a bad first impression of Tony Smith if they go to the Sculpture Park because I think his best work is elsewhere.

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
 Mentos Advertisement  Use condoms commercial

Accidental Fallacy: One time I got caught smoking weed and my dad started giving me a lecture on why I should'nt smoke and how it will make you lazy and you won't get anything done. I thought it was funny how he was telling me this because he was being such a big hypocrite because he smokes just as much as I do. Ironically I got what I smoked from his stash but he had no idea that I knew that he smoked. I didn't say anything to him because I figured it would be really awkward at the time but now he knows I know so he can't really give me crap if I smoke. :)

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
I disliked the Neukom Vivarium. It was a beautiful building and greenhouse but I would not consider it a sculpture of merit that deserves any artistic praise or the substantial plot of land allocated to it by The Seattle Art Museum. Mark Dion displays no actual ability to "sculpt" anything. His artistic vision is to let man play god with an environment and ecosystem, inside a glass hut. How this has anything to do with sculpting a beautiful piece of art perplexes me. When thinking of sculptures the first image that comes to mind is Michael Angelo's sculpture of David. A master craftsman toiling away at the insentient marble piller that dictates and governs his life. Each precise hammer blow chipping away the smooth marble exterior to reveal the soul of a once opaque pillar. This is art and craftsmanship. Procuring a log and placing it within a bubble, so nature can "thrive" and be observed year long, just a short walk away from your downtown 9th story condo with a corner view, plasma screen, and espresso maker is a horrible joke for art but at the same time, intentional or not, a beautiful, ironic, and sad allagory of the times and state of mind of our society. This Neukom Vivarium disgusts me in many way, but curiously I am drawn to this display of human inginuity and ignorance. The yin and yang of life; the eb and flow of nature; the harsh lines of man; his best intentions, and the worst atrocities created with them are all contained in this artistic endevor. Ment to be an uplifting retreat in a harsh urban landscape of the nature that all of us, even if only subconsciously, long for in our souls. This temperature controlled bubble simultaneously preserves the life within while destroying the greater environment and world ecosystem outside, with it's air conditioning in the summer and heating during the winter, contributing greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. A gastly metaphor for America's materialism, greed, and complete ignorance of the surrounding picture. Slowly but surely reaking havok on the world outside to find internal gratification and emediate happiness withen. Hording the little beauties of nature withen a glass box to show off the splendor of nature which man cannot achieve (but claims as his art) while at the same time destroying the real thing surrounding it, sickens me. Pesticides are used all around the park to keep bugs from doing the the same thing that is being displayed 16 yards away. I have found and odd love for this piece though, it has become truly great art upon closer examination, I believe Mark Dion's ignorance made this a beautifully sad metephor, for many things man is. In some man ways this makes Neukom Vivarium more profound than David. It is subtler and more man like in charactrer than the statue of a man. You can feel the life in David, but he does not represent anything other than understanding of form. The Neukom Vivarium says a thousand things about our society with one log and some windows. I can look at it, grin to myself and, realise the greater tragedy of this art will be missed by most, maybe even the creator, but for the emotions it has stirred about my future it will always hold an important place in my psyche.

I have an Associate Degree and almost done with my another Associate degree in Civil Engineer Graph in Lake Washington Technical College. I am working at Metropolitan Market at Lower Queen(Uptown) and also I am interning at the King County DOT as an Engineer I. I love playing football(soccer), I played for Bellevue Community College for one year and I just got a call from the coach at the Skagit Valley Community College, asking me to play for them this coming season. I am still thinking about it. In the spare time I would go to paintball with bunch of my friends. We are just so into it right now. We went to the D-day just a couple months ago. That was great!!

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The Eagle is one the sculpture that I don’t like in the Olympic Sculpture Park. The eagle is one of Alexander Calder’s collections. He is a sculptor, painter, and illustrator. He created this art piece in 1971. The piece is perched atop a hill and seems to be spreading its wings ready to fly off over the Puget Sound in search of salmon as it describe. It is a grant painted steel sculpture in red. The reason I don’t like it, it is because the title, Eagle, and the sculpture doesn’t look like an eagle to me and also it doesn’t look like anything powerful as it always symbolize to. I have to run by Western Ave everyday to work in the evening. It is just a big distraction me either when I stopped at the red light waiting or driving by. I always catch it in the corner or my eyes because it is so huge, in red and the center piece of the park, also, I feel like this art piece is the symbol of the park. You can see a lot of magazine; newspaper and even the Olympic Sculpture Park webpage use this picture as the front image. Therefore, I desired to go to the park everyday after class and walk around there and try to make myself like this art piece. I sat around the art piece and looked at it for about 15 minute everytime when I was there. I believe that one way to like something is to bond with it and also to accept it. Now I still don’t like the design of it because it is still doesn’t look like a eagle perched atop a hill and spreading its wings and ready to fly off over the Puget Sound in search of salmon. However, I like the way it gives me a good shade from the sun when I read or sit around there.

Self-Assessment
"What did I learn in this class, and what do I have left to learn?" -I did learn to do proper research, listen and respect others in class.

"What did I do well in this class, and what could I have done better?" -I did well to show up everyday and presentation went pretty well.

"How do I feel prepared, or unprepared, to continue my studies at this point?" -I felt well prepared on my research and presentation.

"How did I contribute to the experiences of other students in this class?" -I did meet some friends from my deptment.

You are also encouraged to consider any other questions relevant to your experiences.

Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you.

Human-animal bond

This resource page contains notes about theories and research on the bonding between humans and animals.

Theoretical perspectives
A single theory seems to be incapable of encompassing the effects of human bonding with animals. A unitary theory on the complexity of the human-animal relationship has yet to be established (Brown, 2004).
 * Evolutionary
 * Biophilia hypothesis
 * Anthropomorphism
 * Social support theory
 * Existential: Sartre (1967) reviewed the psychological desire of humans to have contact with animals; the evidence suggests this strong desire may be the result of changes in ontological security. Ontological security is knowing, without conscious awareness that the key areas of an individual’s life are stable and predictable.

Research evidence
Havener, Gentes, Thaler, Megel, Baun, Driscoll, Beiraghi and Agrawal (2001) carried out research on companion animals and their effectiveness in relieving distress in children undergoing various types of dental work. Forty children aged between 7 and 11 years old were chosen as this age group represented Piaget’s concrete-operational stage. The aim was to distract half the children with a dog whilst undergoing a dental procedure, each child being held by the dental nurse and their head harnessed. Sessions were videotaped and data collected prior to, during and after the procedure. Havener et al (2001) discovered that the presence of a dog did not affect behavioural distress, although they did find physiological arousal was lessened for the children already stressed prior to the actual procedure. This study concluded that distress caused by a visit to the dentist was not reduced by a dog companion however it did indicate that the dog had a calming affect prior to the event.

Gallery
Examples of human-animal contact - can you add some more? e.g., from 1, 2, 3

Psychology 102
Currently, this is a Psychology 102 resource page for the essay question: "What are the human psychological effects of contact with animals? Discuss with reference to psychological theories and research." See also:
 * 1) Moodle discussion about this topic
 * 2) Some starting links:
 * 3) http://delicious.com/jtneill/animalpsychology
 * 4) http://delicious.com/jtneill/humananimalpsychology

Good essays tended to...

 * 1) Explain at least two theories (often biophilia and social support)
 * 2) Balance and integrate discussion of theory and research evidence
 * 3) Consider positive, null and negative effects of animal contact

Less good essays tended to....

 * 1) Utilise only one main theory (often biophilia)
 * 2) Focus mostly on research evidence and to provide relatively little consideration of theory
 * 3) Focus on positive effects with relatively little mention of null and/or negative effects of animal contact

Please commence lessons taking note of any challenges in the material or any recommendations so it may be iterated and catered to your specific learning style. Please develop a sense of ownership, editing is as simple as clicking < > and just getting on with it! I really hope we can all start to establish our weblog so we may aggregate our weblog feeds so the sustainable learning system may start to progress. Have u read the ngagpa article? If you have any reputable, sourced information to add I would be very appreciative. Glad to have you as a learning partner. It is excellent your Rinpoche has an interest in education of children, is he aware of Wikiversity and Wikibooks, etc?

Assistant teacher program/Partner school program/Assistant teacher program self-certification

It is vital that pupils are provided with structured opportunities to explore actively aspects, issues and events through school and community involvement, case studies and critical discussions that are challenging and relevant to their lives.

A curriculum which acknowledges the social responsibilities of education must present situations where problems are relevant to the problems of living together, and where observation and information are calculated to develop social insight and interest.

Wikiversity assistant teacher program self-certification
The self-certification of the assistant teacher program is a collection of recommendations that should be fulfilled by a school in order to be considered compliant. There is no verification process and schools are consequently free to use the self-certification as desired.

Verifiability

 * To be compliant all required data for the verification of compliance of the school must be conveniently available to interested third parties.

Funding

 * To be compliant a minimum of ten percent of the collected school fees must be donated to Unicef, Médecins Sans Frontières or very similar purposes. (This should probably be corrected for regional differences in funding, which is currently beyond the scope of the self-certification. Proposals are welcome.) The recommended donation goal is the donation of twenty percent of the collected school fees but that may not be feasible everywhere.
 * Publicly funded schools without school fees should aim to raise funds according to ability.
 * Publicly funded schools with additional school fees and/or other fees should aim to donate fifty percent of their additional income.

Statistics

 * The school must compile statistics of school and pupil performance.
 * Statistics must cover especially the requirements of the self-certification insofar as possible.

School democracy

 * School democracy must invite all pupils to participate by holding an office for some time and must provide for sufficient opportunity for participation.
 * School democracy must "present situations where problems are relevant to the problems of living together, and where observation and information are calculated to develop social insight and interest."
 * School democracy must "provide pupils with structured opportunities to explore actively aspects, issues and events through school and community involvement, case studies and critical discussions that are challenging and relevant to their lives."

Learning outcome assessment

 * The school must assess the acquired competencies of the pupils.
 * The school must have a formulated collection of responses to underperforming pupils and unchallenged pupils, including ability grouping, tracking, counseling and individual education.

Pupil motivation

 * The school must assess the motivation of individual pupils.
 * The school must have a formulated collection of responses to low motivation.

Individual education

 * The school must assist underperforming pupils and unchallenged pupils.
 * The school must offer individual education to all pupils and must invite all pupils to participate in individual education programs.
 * Individual education programs must assess the interests of pupils and must be prepared to stimulate new interests.
 * The school should make an effort to allow a degree of interest-driven learning for all pupils. Disinterested pupils should preferably not attend courses intended primarily for interest-driven learning in order to preserve the positive learning experience for the other pupils.

Assistant teacher progress

 * Assistant teachers must be allowed to qualify as teachers starting no later than during grade nine.
 * Assistant teachers must have at least one further mandatory educator qualification to aim for after becoming assistant teachers (e.g. tutor).
 * There must be a sufficient element of self-determination in the design of the assistant teacher effort of the school or the efforts of each grade or class.

Citizenship education

 * Assistant teachers must receive citizenship education as part of the assistant teacher effort and must be invited and motivated to see the assistant teacher effort as a moral obligation and responsibility.

Parent education

 * The school must offer parent education and must motivate parents to participate.
 * Pupils must develop their own parent education course during the grades seven to ten.

Adult education

 * The school must make offers for lifelong learning.
 * Especially the school must make an attempt to retrain and to guide the requalification of unemployed parents whose children attend the school.
 * It is recommended that parents are contractually obligated to attend the school as requested by the school as soon as school fees are reduced because of unemployment.
 * It is recommended that sufficiently qualified high school pupils are used as tutors and mentors in the training process.

Mentoring

 * The school must offer at least a voluntary cross-age peer mentoring program. The recommendation is to make mentoring a mandatory part of the assistant teacher effort.
 * College preparatory schools must offer cross-age peer mentoring programs with mandatory participation for pupils in college preparatory high school tracks as program mentors.

Individual study

 * College preparatory schools must make an effort to motivate individual study and independent learning. Vocational schools should at least aim to motivate individual study and independent learning.
 * College preparatory schools must provide a learning resource centre, school library media center or similar facility.
 * Assistant teachers must be invited to prepare learning material for lessons themselves and with an appropriate degree of independence.

Tibetan language/Unicode & Font installation

Unicode
If accessibility and utility is valued in the computing and digital representation of Tibetan fonts, "Unicode" fonts are the benchmark. Unicode, or the Universal Character Set, is the global standard for representing humanity's scripts in digital media and computing. Unicode is thus now the standard for Tibetan computing. The great benefit of Unicode is that it may be utilized across major computing platforms such as Linux, Macintosh and Windows. The specifics of support in their operating systems, such as input methods for example, is environment specific.

Ensuring unicode is visible in browser
Alan Wood has established an excellent tool to assist in ensuring Tibetan script is visible in your Internet browser: Alan Wood’s Unicode Resources Test for Unicode support in Web browsers Tibetan U+0F00 – U+0FFF (3840–4095)

Talk:Vector calculus

Parallel wikiversity efforts
(title later added by --guyvan52 (discuss • contribs) 18:03, 2 February 2014 (UTC)) Is this page completely necessary in that there already exists a Vector page([]) which has a decent vector calc section within it. I see two options, the long term and the short term. For the short term we can keep the vector page and continue to edit and add to it (its fine for a page overviewing vectors but it currently has too little to stand by itself since each definition is short and too specific). Once the vector calc sections become large enough they can be moved together into the vector calc page and shorter entries can be replaced once again. I guess I should not have said two options since I suggest only one path. What do other people think about this plan?

Yes, I just looked at the vector page an it looks pretty good. Your "wait and see" approach is the only logical one. I will now write a short introduction to this Vector calculus page so you get some insight as to where we hope to go with this page. You should know that the name of this page is not entirely appropriate, but that I don't know exactly what to name it. It is intended to be a short and simple introduction to both the Riemannian calculus used in General Relativity, and also the dual non-orthonormal spaces associated with solid state physics. But, it will contain little if any actual physics.--guyvan52 (discuss • contribs) 01:55, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Tentative outline
I am moving this to the talk page because this outline is very long and not of interest to most readers:

The study of vector calculus in two dimensions permits us to quickly prove theorems that can be generalized to higher dimensions. It is often the case that proof of these higher dimensional generalizations are too tedious to be pedagogically useful. By studying the two dimensional proof the student can get the general idea of how the proof in higher dimensions might proceed. --guyvan52 (discuss • contribs) 17:41, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

By focusing on two dimensions, this work will not fully cover the curl, gradient, and divergence, as it is usually applied to a field such as electromagnetism or classical dynamics. In contrast, this work will focus on systems that are not orthonormal. Topics to be introduced include:

 * 1) Rotation of coordinates (including a derivation of the rotation matrix)
 * 2) Proof that the following entities are invarient under rotations:
 * 3) Inner product
 * 4) Gradient of a scalar field
 * 5) Laplacian of a scalar field
 * 6) Counter example:  Why $$\partial^2 \Phi /\partial x\partial y$$ is NOT symmetric under rotations.
 * 7) A two dimensional lattice structure as an example of a non-orthonormal coordinate system.
 * 8) The need for a dual basis in order to compactly write the inner product
 * 9) Proof that the inner product defined within this dual basis is also symmetric under rotations.
 * 10) Interpretation of the dual basis in terms of waves that will exhibit Bragg scattering of this crystal structure.  To give the student a glimpse of how solid state physics uses these dual basis vectors (r-space and k-space), the wavefronts associated with waves that do and do not exhibit Bragg scattering will be superimposed over the lattice structure.
 * 11) Introduction to the tensor field as a generalized spring constant.  A figure showing a particle held by four orthogonal springs will be shown.  The tensor becomes non-diagonal if the springs do not align with the x and y axis.  To simplify the notation, this will be case in terms of a force and displacement, although in most applications the tensor refers to polarization response.
 * 12) Invariance of this tensor under rotations will be proven
 * 13) Students have difficulty visualizing the tensor field.  The concept of a tensor field is introduced by assuming that a crystal has weak inhomogeniety in the nature of these springs mechanisms as one travels distances much larger than the size of the lattice structure.
 * 14) The two-dimensional analog of the divergence theorem and Stokes theorem will be stated.  The latter is called Green's theorem, but it will be stated by introducing the curl operator that maps a 2D space into a 1 D space (typically associated with the $$\hat z$$ direction.)
 * 15) A two dimensional version of a scalar electrostatic field is introduced.  The "field" will fall as 1/r and the potential falls logarithetially.
 * 16) This field theory will be depicted in the various notations used in physics, from partial differential equatiion.
 * 17) The potential form of Maxwell's equations will be introduced (using $$\vec A, \Phi$$ instead of $$\vec E, \vec B$$)
 * 18) Noneuclidean calculus will be introduced with a metric that will eventually be shown to that of a parabola and/or sphere.
 * 19) A hyperbolic metric will also be introduced
 * 20) Riemannian curvature will be introduced, which is a scalar in a two dimensional space.
 * 21) This will eventually lead us to curvilinear coordinates and an attempt to contruct linearized general relativity --guyvan52 (discuss • contribs) 17:41, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Active and passive rotations
We shouldn't focus on this topic, but the figure is helpfull in allowing us to properly use the terms. The figure can be found by linking to Active and passive transformation

Talk:Tibetan language/Developmental initiatives

Some ideas
I'm trying to take all of this in. B9_hummingbird_hovering has cranked out a ton of good material but finding and organizing it is a chore. Tibetan Language/Creating a weblog on Wikiversity is about a weblog and developing a learning community, which is great but...

I've got a couple of ideas that relate to Naming conventions that might help the Topic:Tibetan fit into Topic:Linguistics and School:Language and Literature and perhaps School:Theology. First of all, I've noticed that a lot of the current pages and content are about developing the materials, community building and editing skills not part of the actual course. I suggest merging or moving these type pages to Wikiversity namespace if they are generally applicable across multiple topics.

Topic:Tibetan is a little dense and may need to have some subpages with simple names, for example: Tibetan Language/Developmental initiatives can move to Topic:Tibetan/Initiatives. The Topic namespace is similar to the Wikipedia:WikiProject sub namespace at Wikipedia for developing all articles related to a central subject, genre or other grouping.

Another thing I've seen stated is the need for a Topic:Tibetan/Lexicon. (Compare to New Testament Greek/Lexicon) The multilingual worksheet is an example of an attempt to brainstorm the creation of an OmegaWiki type project. The Jade Knight and I made a bit of progress but we needed more interest and involvement from other language people. Topic:Sanskrit would be a good sisterproject. Intrestingly, the more ancient a language is, the more it ties in with School:Theology. (Notice Introduction to Sanskrit Language and Introductory Ancient Greek Language).

Now. What should appear in Wikiversity's main namespace for all the world to see (not just members of the Tibetan language content development project group). Here's a list of starting page titles and redirects to create:

 * Tibetan
 * Tibetan language
 * Introductory Tibetan
 * Introductory Tibetan Language
 * Introduction to Tibetan Language
 * Tibetan Language/Introduction

Welcome to Wikiversity, B9_hummingbird_hovering and company! Now please direct us (and the general public) to the starting point. CQ (Talk) – [ D] | [ P] | [ B] | C and company --16:55, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I did not. The section however looks like THE place to get Google Bot crawling over to the forum. I'm concerned about the following points: -

 * How do I add my question threads to different schools automatically as they are posted.
 * How do I organize my links so that there is considerable crawling over?
 * You can browse the forum, see how the threads are created and suggest a way by which I can add pages directly to their respective categories as soon as they are created.

User talk:Thewinster/HHF

Wikihigh
A little heads up. We have other High_School pages that need to be merged. HHF may receive a merge tag soon. --CQ 07:22, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Fine. What are the arguments pro and anti the merge? I don't think wikihigh has had any major developments, while HHF has not even started as yet. Why merge? HHF, is a FORUM, if we merge, the merger has to be of content, not pages! --Dharav talk 05:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly! If this is a forum, I think merging may be particularly inappropriate.  But if there are any other HS help desks out there, merging with them would be fine.  The Jade Knight (d'viser) 16:30, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merging projects is a good thing! HHF may be incorporated as an extension of Portal:Secondary Education. See this. That's some help, eh? CQ 22:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merging similar projects is a good thing. Anyway, I don't see the point of your example?  The Jade Knight (d'viser) 00:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Merging projects is a good thing. But is merger the same as incorporating HHF as a part of Portal:Secondary_Education? What exactly would a merger mean, in this case? --Dharav talk 06:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

To Do list for the forum
Here's the list of things to be done on the forum: -

Essential

 * Disallow Preload pages from showing up on "recently edited pages" list.
 * Disallow categories from showing up on the "recently edited pages" list.
 * Edit the pages from where we ask questions, merge them suitably.
 * Give the links to the main category as well.
 * Fix Reply buttons and their locations in the Question preload and the Reply preload.
 * Find out ways by which users can take a look at the questions that THEY have posted.
 * Look for redirecting sites!

How To Guides

 * Posting images
 * Using print screen, paint and DJVU editor or PDF editors
 * Subscripts
 * Maths

Features
