It has become apparent through the study of ‘Maestro’ by Peter Goldsworthy and Don McLean’s song ‘Starry Night’ that composers use a variety of distinctively visual images to comment on the cultural, historical and emotional values of society.

Goldsworthy and McLean utilise a myriad of language techniques for instance metaphors, repetition, oxymoron’s and juxtaposition which create visual images towards their audience. Goldsworthy’s ‘Maestro’ is a fictional novel about growing up in Australia and seeking to be a performer in music whereas Don McLean’s ‘Starry Night’, is a five verse song dedicated to the life of Vincent Van Gogh, particularly his painting ‘A Starry Night’.…

This chapter discusses how cloud technologies provide tools to help build the mentoring relationships that are needed for doctoral students to become scholars in their own right. I draw on observed examples and experiences to discuss a model of cognitive apprenticeship as first described by Collins, Brown, and Newman (1986) and Collins, Brown, and Holum, (1991). This model is helpful for understanding the required relationships and commitments in online doctoral learning, especially between mentors and doctoral students. When these relationships are formed early in the process of dissertation research, progress in the degree program can be encouraged, and is more likely to culminate in timely completion (Kumar, Johnson, & Hardemon, 2013). As…
From that moment on, I wanted to improve on my Chinese skills to be able to communicate more fluently and have a larger vocabulary usage. In addition, the Chinese language has an ancient and rich culture that I have never been fully exposed to and want to learn about. It amazes me how the history of China dates back to many years ago to the present of having major world affairs opportunities, one of the widely spoken languages of the world, and a rapid growing economy. By increasing my language skills and cultural knowledge, it can help me achieve my future academic and professional career. My career goal is to work as a nurse in a hospital. I want to be able to help my patients with any type of cultural needs and be the person they can reach out to without any language barriers. At least I would have an understanding of the culture if there were specific needs that need to be met. Also, I could be a possible translator at the hospital for Chinese speaking…
The RD that mentored me was Rochelle Werner and she works in the WIC and medical department at the San Benito Health Foundation in Hollister. We communicated through emails and through a phone call.

She added that she also works on various quality assurance and management projects for the clinic. My mentor told me that when applying for an internship, I should look into the details of the internship and what the internship offers in order to find out if the internship is right for me. I learned that I don’t necessarily have…
