Phenomenological research!

While thereis thin line of demarcation between narrative and phenomenology study, I am having difficulty to understand this hairline difference..Phenomenological research: it talks about lives of the concerned person. phenomenology of bad teaching…. Of multiple people..lts is similar to narrative when it comes to descriptive account, but unlike narrative, it has more than one or 2 people.1dentification of shared experiences.

Extrapolate some universe form of experiences..comparison of shared experiences…

Locate universal (general) nature of experiences..

For example:: live experiences of illegal immigrants when they have fear of getting deported…
Live experiences of restaurant workers when they are paid less..
Phenomenology study of single women..

3) shared experiences among various individual experiencing the same phenomena,,

4) Essence of experience.. Creat discourses. Empathize with …..of individual..

Discourse on meaning.. To get from your participants.. .. How that make you feel?

What that experience will be like.. Emotional experience. .. I was petrified. ..I was in ecstasy.. I was overwhelmed.,

One student was asked about the experience he felt of 2012 classes.. He says,” Oh God, instructor’s method of teaching was so unclear that I literally feel frustrated. ”

Response could be good if question is asked in better empathic way..

Here comes bedside manners by doctors.

Elements of phenomenology :
1) lived experience
2) conscious process
One need to be very gentle in asking questions..

Interpretations of experiences…
Gradients of experiences accounts increase.

Types:

1) hermeneutic
2)psychological phenomena everything is perceived fresh

Interpretation of meaning and significance.
Revisiting event.. Looking that event in new vein,, with new vision..

Change in interpretation of same experience when u r young and when u r old.
If u lost ur child and ur parents also lost ur child.. Then u can use psychological phenomenology..

.
1 .Identify phen..
2.bracket
3.Data
4.interpretation
5.description: textural (what) and structural (how)

When compared to narrative, in phenomenological research, we are more concerned of phenomena.
Multiple interpretation.

  PSA-Food Waste Reduction Alliance I have never done a public service announcement before. I found the assignment to be quite interesting since we were allowed to choose a topic that we wanted to do. This did include working with group members to design a slide show that conveyed an important message. I did find it a bit difficult in the sense that you had to really simplify a lot of text while still getting the main point across. This also included making the message visually appealing as there are many factors to take into account when designing a PSA. One of the big issues was the fact that the announcement would be shown to many different people. This emphasized the importance of having any text be very visible as certain colors can be an issue for those who can’t see a specific color. In our case we kept a white color with a darker background while other text was in black with a brighter background. We also made use of imagery to convey a message. In our case we used simple images that were visually appealing and gave direct information for what we wanted to say without the need of text. This type of project does relate to stuff I have worked on previously such as posters. In a class I’m currently taking we have to keep text very concise as well as make use of images to convey things like data or components in our project. The text also needs to be simplified as complex text may make the reader confused. This is an important skill to have as I will be using it a lot more in my upcoming classes. I found that this assignment makes use of these few learning objectives: Acknowledging others range of linguistic differences Develop and engage in collaborative and social aspects of writing processes Engage in genre analysis for e […] “PSA-Food Waste Reduction Alliance”

  Technical Description-French PressTechnical-description-1Download I’ve never had this kind of assignment before, but I did not find it challenging to complete. This assignment focused heavily on the ability to conduct research as well as having a good understanding of the information presented, which I have done quite a bit before since I’m currently a junior going into my senior year next semester. As we approach the end of the semester and finish off with this final project, there were a few things that I did get more practice on while working on the assignment. This includes incorporating material from sources while citing them in what’s written. Certain sources can contain complex information that you may not understand what it is trying to say. In my case I try to break apart the material being shown by looking up the definitions of words or even watching videos on processes. This has helped me a lot when it comes to much more complicated material in my major. This upcoming summer I will be working with a phd student with her research in metamaterials. I have seen her work and she does use a lot of references and incorporates the information into her papers. By practicing this skill it will definitely help me be able to perform a higher level of work. This assignment also helped in improving my ability to pick from proper sources that have credibility. A lot of information can be found by a simple google search, but being able to recognize when that information has no credibility is an important skill to have. These skills will help me in my upcoming research as well as anything I may pursue in the future. The course learning objectives that were most utilized in this assignment include: Practice using various library resources Strengthen source use practices Enhance strategies for reading, drafting, revising, editing and sel […] “Technical Description-French Press”

  Technical Description: Xbox Series X Remote Controller What is the Xbox Series X Controller? The Xbox Series X is a very popular game console that was created in November 2020 by Microsoft. It is a part of the fourth generation of Xbox consoles which were intended to create significant performance, faster load times, and better frame rates for gamers. The Xbox Series X was created with a stronger chipmaker AMD, immersing experiences people have never seen before (Will Tuttle, 2020). Along with the console, an Xbox controller was designed as a primary input device to interact with the video games provided by the Xbox. There are multiple functions the controller serves which is why it is a significant part associated with the Xbox. It allows users to interact with the gaming console through inputs and it is designed to comfortably fit a wide range of users. Some have features like wireless connectivity and customizable options for buttons and triggers to enhance the user’s experience. Mainboard The innermost part of the remote consists of two boards. The first is the mainboard which contains four vibration motors, two analogs, and a wireless and control chip (Figure 1). The four vibration motors are behind each trigger which adds haptic feedback to the fingertips. The two analogs are created for movement control and navigation. They provide a way to scroll and make selections. The wireless and control chip is predominantly for wireless communication and processing. This chip allows the remote to connect to the Xbox without a physical wire. It also allows input data from the controller’s buttons and sends them to the console as commands to be executed. (Figure 1) The Second Board The second board consists of silicone pads for controlling buttons and batteries (Figure 2). It connects to the boards and the outermost parts of the remote which holds the buttons in place. It has elements that make contact with the circuit boards when a button is pressed. It sends signals to the controllers’ processor which registers the press for the button. It also helps create soft feedback towards the gamer which ultimately ensures a more comfortable gaming experience. It is responsible for wireless connectivity and using radio frequency to maintain a stable connection. Between the two boards, there is something called a mini-jack connector (Figure 3). This allows players to connect a headset to the controller and hear game sounds and music directly through the headset. This helps the audio output and allows effective communication which overall enhances the gaming experience. (Figure 2) (Figure 3) Buttons This Xbox Series X controller has multiple buttons that are held together by the boards. It has four letter buttons labeled A, B, X, and Y. These buttons are placed on the right side of the controller in the formation of a diamond. The Y is in the top position, with the B button on the right, the X button on the left, and the A button on the bottom. They are the standard buttons used for different functions and game navigation (Figure 4). The exact roles can vary but they were designed to be easy to remember. An Xbox remote also has buttons known as the right stick button (RSB), left stick button (LSB), right bumper (RB), right trigger (RT), left bumper (LB), and left trigger (LT). These buttons are mainly used to interact with games and the console itself. They make it easier to search for any interests. The LB and RB are on the top part of the remote. It can be concluded its placement is there to be easily used by the pointer finger for comfort. Underneath each of those buttons, lays the triggers LT and RT. These help in-game movement and primary game actions (Figure 5). (Figure 4) (Figure 5) On the bottom left of the remote, lies what is known as the d-pad. This is a plus-shaped button that adds to the ability to navigate through the console. It leaves more options if a user wants to create a customized setting and can help improve game mechanics. Above and to the left of the d-pad is the LSB. To the right of the d-pad is the RSB (Figure 6). The LSB and RSB are inputs added to the controller that also help improve gaming performance. They hold various functions and are created to make it easier for the user to perform actions without having to move fingers to a different part of the remote. All of these buttons work together to produce a smoother gaming experience. (Figure 6) (Figure 7) In the top center of the remote lies the Xbox Button and three buttons directly underneath: the share button, menu button, and view button (Figure 7). The Xbox button is used to turn the console on and off, access the guide menu, and view notifications. The share button is used to quickly capture screenshots and record clips. This is mainly used during a game and saves significant moments. This is the first time an Xbox controller has a dedicated button for sharing and saving content. The menu button, also known as the “start” button, is the primary button to access options such as saving or quitting to return to the main menu. The view button, which was previously the “back” button on earlier Xbox controllers, allows the player to change settings and access another menu. It also can change the camera angle or switch to different viewing perspectives. These buttons help with organization and selecting the right applications. They are additional features created to make navigation quicker making the gaming experience more efficient. Front and Back Panels The front and the back panel are the parts that keep the whole remote together (Figure 8). The front panel, also known as the face of the controller, is where you can visually see all of the buttons and hold them in place presentably. It is designed to be for the user which means the layout, functionality, comfort, and control were all factors that were considered. The back panel also serves multiple key purposes. It holds the power source of the controller and is designed to be easily accessible for battery replacement or recharging. It also plays a big part in the structure of the controller by protecting the internal components. This part helped provide comfort, customizable options, and easy access to functions which make it a critical part of the controller’s design. (Figure 8) Overall, Microsoft’s creation of the Xbox series along with the controller reflects the development of modern gaming. The very first Xbox was created in 2001 which was a huge stepping stone for Microsoft. Since then, they have created many upgraded consoles which led to the Xbox Series X. This console was created to emphasize high performance, fast loading times, and a new experience for users. Along with its controller, this creation continues nearly 20 years of development. The Xbox brand has become very popular in the gaming industry and continues to do so. It has become the most powerful console on the market. Citations Will Tuttle (He/Him), X. W. E. in C.

  Ai Bias in Image GeneratorsAI-Bias-2Download AI_Project-2Download This assignment is also something I haven’t done before. I found this assignment to be more difficult than the previous especially since we are also grouped up. I have not used an AI image generator before so it was interesting to see what the technology can do. Since this was a group project we each had to generate 100 images which seemed simple at first, but the generator would sometimes give us bad images that altered the data. We also had to conduct research on the bias being present in AI. This is an important skill to have as we need to get the information from proper sources. We also had to display proper citation use as well as give a shortened version of what a paragraph may be saying. Another difficulty was writing the report itself since there were three of us and we had to make it appear as if it was only one person writing the paper. This took a bit of coordination as we don’t share the same mind and may view information differently than each other. We also had to coordinate when it came to presenting the slide show so we decided to simplify it by having each take turns while talking. These are important skills to have as everyone needs to be on the same page to make sure things go smoothly. This assignment also emphasized the need to proofread a paper. There were some grammatical errors that needed to be fixed as well as check for any spelling mistakes. The course objectives this assignment focused on the most include: Enhance strategies for reading, drafting revising, editing and self assessment Develop and engage in the collaborative and social aspects of writing processes Formulate and articulate a stance through writing Practice use of library resources and online databases Strengthen source use pra […] “Ai Bias in Image Generators”

  Brightspace Updates-Course Merges and LTIsDear Faculty, I write with two updates regarding our transition to Brightspace. As a reminder, summer courses will be taught in Brightspace, not Blackboard (although you will continue to have access to both). Course Merges One important difference has to do with merging courses. In Blackboard, faculty were able to merge classes themselves. Faculty cannot merge their courses in Brightspace. Merges must be done by the LMS Team. CUNY made the decision to limit faculty access because of the possibility of student work being lost when merges are done in Brightspace (this was not an issue in Blackboard). For summer, the LMS Team will start merging cross-listed courses soon. These are courses listed under different prefixes, but are actually the same course and section. For example, LAW/POL 313. The LMS Team will be merging the courses under the prefix that is first alphabetically. LAW/POL 313 will become LAW 313. Students who register for POL 313 will be automatically added to the merged LAW 313 in Brightspace. As was the case in Blackboard, you can change the title of your course in Brightspace to reflect the cross-listing. If there are other course merges you would like, for example merging multiple sections of the same course, you can request them using this form: https://forms.office.com/r/S7ExSEGTg2. You do not need to request merging of cross-listed courses. Third-Party Tools (LTIs) As part of CUNY’s transition from Blackboard to Brightspace, it is necessary to also transition the third-party LMS tool integrations licensed by John Jay, known as LTIs, from the one platform to the other. The table below lists the LTIs in currently use at John Jay and their status. Spring 2024 grade rosters will be open from Thursday, May 16, to Tuesday, May 28. The PlayPosit LTI cannot be run in both Blackboard and Brightspace simultaneously and requires downtime as part of the transition to Brightspace. PlayPosit will be disabled in Blackboard at 8 AM on Thursday, May 28. Grading of PlayPosit content must be completed by that time as the tool will be unavailable in Blackboard. Once disabled in Blackboard, LTIs cannot be re-enabled. Please note: While it may be possible to reuse content created using LTIs in Blackboard, links to that content must be recreated in Brightspace. Brightspace replaces campus email addresses with CUNY Login account information, with email being delivered to a user’s email address as listed in CUNYfirst. You may receive an alert from an LTI that your email address has changed or that you must log in with your CUNY Login account. If you receive a message asking you to confirm the email address change or log in again, this is expected behavior and you must accept the change.
