Robert McCollough: Experiences from the past, pedagog for the future.
An onlooker into the courses taught by this professor would be surprised and little confused as to Robert McCollough's style. Robert strives to know each of his students individually, to the point that he can refer to them with nicknames and hash out class discussions in an almost informal manner. Students admire his candor and passion for knowledge, and are drawn to his courses. Somehow it is this magnetism that results in the ultimate success of his students, and with a class average of 4.0 it is no mystery that Robert McCollough is a student and university favorite.
A Lifetime Legacy
Robert McCollough was a first generation American, born into a Scottish family. His father was an air force pilot and part of an elite team known as the Flying Tigers. His father's work resulted in Robert moving to Japan with his father and mother when he was less than one-year-old. His family remained in Japan for 16 years, resulting in Robert becoming fluent in Japanese and English. In fact, as a boy he was expected to teach his Japanese peers English through tutoring sessions. So even at an early age, he was using his knowledge to teach and help those around him.

Immediately upon graduation, Robert decided to follow in his father's footsteps and joined the American air force to fight in Vietnam. Robert gained a high rank very quickly in the air force and soon began forming relationships with many high-ranking officers, one of whom became the president of Vietnam.
Tired after fighting the bitter war, Robert moved to England and studied Anglo Saxon literature at Oxford University, where he met and studied under the famous author John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, the author of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It was this encounter that restored Robert's faith in humanity and refreshed his weary war-torn soul. It was at this new season of his life that he decided to rejoin the air force and remain on active duty, the result of which was a high-ranking office and unlimited world travel. In fact, Robert has spent time in Japan, Germany, Italy, Isreal, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Spain, and Russia. During these visits he worked with many military officials and sought ways to bring peace and unity to the nations.
Once he retired from his long stay in the air force, he became a professor at University of Toledo, where he has remained for the past 18…
Negative Effects of Artificial Reefs Artificial reefs are man-made habitats that are created from many different materials to build new marine life communities (Rodriguez, 2004). For many years, fish and shellfish habitats have been damaged or wiped out by the development of new coastal areas, accidents, and major storms. As a result, there has been a decline in different marine life populations. Artificial reefs provide food, shelter, protection, and spawning
Marine Biology & Drones Drones are being used with increasing frequency in the study of marine life, including for population counts, and behavioral studies. The news media has offered up dramatic images of studies underway, for example of orca populations off the coast of British Columbia, but there are many studies around the world that are using drones. The advantage of drones is that they can fly above marine environments, providing
Dolphins commonly bear one calf at a time. Reproduction occurs every 2 to 3 years and as many as 8 times within their life span (Beach-Net Online). Feeding Fishes are the typical foods of dolphins. Calves (young dolphins) start to eat fish at 3 to 4 months. Adult dolphins can eat up to 14 pounds of fish in a day (Beach-Net Online). Predators Dolphins' predators are the sharks. Sometimes, killer whales also feed
Biology Species within a given population will differentiate due to a sudden and dramatic geological or climatological change. If a volcano erupted on an island like one of those on Vanuatu, the populations of local geckos would start to differentiate depending on where members of that population were before and after the eruption. Statement/Hypothesis: If a volcanic eruption led to lava flows on one side of the island, but not on the
Most fungi can also reproduce through sexual reproduction both with the same organism mixing gametes and with reproduction between two separate organisms. The cells of many fungi are primarily copies of each other, without differentiation of organs (except in the fruiting sections of the organism, such as the mushrooms and molds typically visible and known to humans). 6) Fungi are considered a separate kingdom for several reasons. They are different from
This discovery could lead to cleaner energy, including the technology that could be used by factories and cars to capture carbon dioxide before it reaches the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is polluting the Earth's atmosphere along with damaging coral reefs and marine life and has impacts that are irreversible. Scientists believe that this will be important for potentially getting to a viable carbon dioxide-capture material with ultra-high selectivity. They are optimistic
