¶ … Interview
Learning to listen is very important especially when one is conducting an interview. Listening helps a lot especially when it comes to understanding one another. When I carried out an interview of an African-American woman it really changed my perception on opportunities that are available for women. This is a reflection on what I learned about the perceptions people have when it comes to occupational preferences at a very early age.
I got the opportunity of interviewing a black American woman and really wanted to find out some of the challenges that she faces when it comes to getting opportunities as a result of her membership of her cultural group. She clearly stated that it was quite difficult for her to secure employment due to the stereotype that there are opportunities that are meant specifically for men while others are meant for women. Feminine occupations are underrepresented among the jobs that are perceived as being high status occupations. This means that it is very difficult to find women occupying these jobs which are...
The preference of women to these so called women occupation is a fact that has increased this stereotype and created a clear distinction between occupations meant for men and those meant for women. Both men and women express an interest in sex-typed occupations .this means that since time there are some occupations that have been labeled for men while others have been labeled for women.
The interviewee was very categorical when she stated that she has out rightly missed out on some opportunities owing to the fact that she is a woman. She stated that there are some places when she goes looking for employment she is told that she can not be employed because they believe that she can not handle the tasks involved because she is a woman.an example that she gave me was that she went looking for a truck driver job. This is because she enjoys driving so much and would like to explore the driving of big machines like trucks. When she went for the interview she was the only lady among ten men. All of them were looking…

This study investigates how ESL students' perception affects the teacher-student interaction in the writing conferences. The multiple-case study explores: ESL students' expectations of the writing conference and factors contributing to the expectations, participation patterns of ESL students in the conferences, and ESL students' perception of the effectiveness of teacher-student conferences. A questionnaire, distributed to 110 (65 NS and 45 ESL) students enrolled in the first-year composition classes, examines students'
Interview Narration In basic terms, there are a variety of ways in which an individual can respond to a new object or substance. Indeed, for an individual to develop a new behavior towards something, such an individual first undergoes a transformation of sorts where he or she eventually develops new conceptions regarding the said substance and its nature. In this text, I come up with a narration of a Paxil user
Data Collection and Processing This seemed to be the most expensive stage of research. In Jane's quantitative work, she had to produce questionnaires and encode each one of them in the statistical software she used. Tokens were also given to respondents. Data collection and processing took a big chunk of her timelines. Carlos, on the other hand, had to spend much time interviewing his respondents because it is a qualitative research.

In the article titled, Collaborative Learning Enhances Critical Thinking, the authors are seeking to understand the true effect that technology will have on what is known as collaborative learning. This is where students will work together to increase the overall amounts of comprehension of the subject matter. In this article, researchers wanted to know if
Some individuals are sensitive to how others perceive them, while others do not care. People who are high self-monitors continually view other individuals and what they do and how they respond to the actions and behavior of others. These people are therefore very self-conscious and want to look good; they will thus normally adapt to different social situations. To the contrary, low self-monitors are typically uncaring to how others
Learning about empathic communication is a mind-expanding experience. If I am completely honest, I have to admit that there is room for improvement in my empathic communication. All too often I have been guilty of listening autobiographically. More than once I remember myself listening to someone recount an emotional experience, and I could barely wait for them to finish, so I could jump in with "And let me tell you
