¶ … Visuals
Visual 1: Problems pilots have encountered with a particular type of jet engine
This pie chart is extremely confusing. There is a multi-colored section that does not even show traditional illustrative 'slices' but rather multi-colored blocks. This creates a 'busy' and hard-to-read visual. The relative sizes of the pie slices do not proportionately match up to the percentage of pilots experiencing various problems. The number of individuals having problems with the oil system (38%) is nearly half the size of the pie chart. It is also not clear that there is overlap between the problems some pilots have but not others. For example, do the pilots with fuel control problems also have problems with fuel pumps, even though fewer pilots have fuel pump problems overall? In this instance, showing the number of persons having various kinds of problems visually with the use of a bar chart would render the findings in a clearer and more visually obvious manner.
Visual 2: Percentage of white acorn collected
First and foremost, the purpose of the visual, which is to show the percentage of white oak acorns collected in each category, is rendered in a confusing, hard-to-read note on the left side of the visual, rather than a prominently, clearly-written title. This makes the subject of the visual very confusing. The bar chart is supposed to show the percentage of different kinds of acorns per year but is difficult to understand because the visual is so 'busy' and crowded. Instead, there should be a bar chart for every year, with an individual, differently-colored bar for each type of acorn. Five separate bar charts for the different years would be much easier to read.
Visual 3: Investment portfolio
Once again, this is a poorly-labeled visual with a difficult-to-read title located on the side. The percentages of different funds are not listed with any clear order or grouping. Grouping them according to the amount of percentage (largest to smallest) or according to categories of stocks would provide more useful information. There are no apparent bar charts to illustrate the information provided in the accompanying key, further creating a lack of visual interest. Showing a descending bar chart from largest to smallest would be the quickest form of visual shorthand to illustrate the principles of the text.
Experimentation Critique In viewing the field of education, the issue of students' lacking retention of material has long been associated with a teacher's inability to enforce learning materials in such a manner that every student within a class -- despite their own personal learning style -- retains the information presented to them in a way that aids in their academic proficiency, attitude, and memory of the information given them.

Rob Reiner's 1987 film The Princess Bride enjoyed only moderate box office revenues, but developed popular underground appeal and has become a cult classic. The enduring respect for Reiner's quirky romantic comedy is immediately apparent: it is far from formulaic, and does not truly fit in either to the "rom com" designation or that of a fantasy. The Princess Bride also includes a cast filled with luminaries like Peter Falk,
Oldest and Largest Federal Aid Program to Schools Department of Education Web site, the headline above Title 1 reads: "Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged." Further into the government's description of Title 1 - the largest and oldest federal aid program for elementary and secondary schools - readers learn that it exists in order "...to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality
In this context, water represents more than a source of physical life as it forges an unbreakable link between the two characters, and penetrates the barren spirit of the pilot. Any discussion on the message of "Le Petit Prince" must include a consideration of the tools of rhetoric which are present in the text. In other words, once the reader has understood what the little prince is truly saying, he

Committee: Styles of Conflict Three distinct conflict types are manifest in the committee's disagreement. The first is a pseudo-conflict, created because of inattention to what others are saying or conflict over irrelevant matters. The committee members interrupt one another frequently, such as when Paul interrupts Mary at the beginning of the dialogue, while she is making her case for the church to remain in its current historical location. Later in the
