Multiple Regression Analysis Name Institution                           Why did the authors use multiple regression? The author sought to investigate whether the teacher’s knowledge indices are significant predictors of secondary school student’s academic achievement. Thus the key aspects that were being assessed included teacher’s depth of subject content and pedagogical knowledge. The application of the multiple regression, therefore, investigated student performance based on the two independent variables. Multiple regression analysis is conducted when there are two or more independent variables with one dependent variable (Darlington & Hayes, 2016). Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not? The use of regression analysis is the most appropriate based on the research issue that was being investigated. Understanding the use of regression analysis requires an understanding of the underlying assumptions which must be thoroughly evaluated to attain the needed outcomes. In conducting a regression analysis, there must be independent and dependent variables that are clearly defined (Schroeder et al., 2016). The dependent variable must be a continuous variable that…

Mariam Beerman: Collages 1965-2008 After a virtual tour of the Queens-borough Community College City University of New York art gallery (QCC), I choose to write about Mariam Beerman collages that are in the PowerPoint document attached. The QCC art gallery is an essential and educational and cultural resource. I love the artwork of Mariam Beerman because, in most of her paintings, she works to present brutality and political occurrences of our lifetime in a bid to point out the world’s injustice and bring them to an end (Beerman, 2020). What is more, the artist uses beauty and vigor, which inspires various painters all over the globe. In the long run, the combination of passion, emotional struggle, and creativity makes the works of Miriam a masterpiece. In all the artworks of Miriam, there are living creatures, such as human beings or animals. And this is one factor that made me love the paintings since they bring out an inner perception to present the future and the past effectively. From one of the paintings, Miriam paints one of the ten plagues stories…

Death Death is one of the mysterious facts of life since the dawn of time. Death is inevitable, and all living things, both plants, and animals have to die at some point in time. Thus, Emily Dickinson and John Donne came up with poems to try to understand what death is and what happens after a person dies. Emily Dickinson writes a poem titled Because I could not stop for Death, which tries to narrate the story of how death visits her and takes her through a journey of time as she is being transferred to what seems to be the afterlife. John Donne, on the other hand, writes a poem titled, Death Be Not Proud, that seeks to understand the entity of death from a Christian viewpoint that death is only a means to carry people from their earthly life to the afterlife where they are expected to enjoy eternal life in paradise. Nonetheless, the two poets present contradicting personalities of death that show that symbolize their understanding of death and what is the purpose of death. For starters,…
