We used DCPIP to measure the amount of photosynthesis that took place during our experiment this week. What characteristic of DCPIP made this possible?a. DCPIP turns clear when mixed with intact and functional chloroplastsb. Photosynthesis is stopped by DCPIP because of its blue colorc. DCPIP is a detergent and therefore distrupts the lipid membraned. DCPIP turns clear when it is reduced by accepting electrons from the electron transport chain during photosynthesis

Week 1: How to design jobs to enhance satisfaction and motivation: Job Characteristics ModelEach module’s Discussion Forum in this class has two topics – one for the first week and another for the second. In the Module 1 Discussion Forum be sure to post your responses using the background material, including the reading and video on the Job Characteristics Model. Here is a shorter synopsis of that material: Louis, D.J. (2016) Notes on the Job Characteristics Model.In week one, consider a job you have held that you did NOT find motivating. What job characteristics were missing? Look at another student’s post and suggest some ways that a manager could redesign that job to enhance one or more job characteristics and increase the motivating properties of that job. When someone has posted to your original job characteristics, go back and comment on whether or not the suggested changes would have made you feel more motivated. Why or why not? (Besides the source listed above, bring in and cite at least one other source of information for your initial post.)Remember, after you submit your answer to the Discussion this week, you also need to respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. (In total for this module’s two-part Discussion Forum you should have contributed to at least two Discussion Question posts and four response posts to your classmates.) You MUST participate in BOTH Week 1 and Week 2 Discussions to get credit for this module’s Discussion Forum. Posting early each week will allow for more opportunities for leading the discussions, making substantial contributions, and engaging in meaningful and mutual discussions with others.Week 2: How to design jobs to enhance satisfaction and motivation: Job Characteristics ModelRead the following: Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory.http://www.netmba.com/mgmt/ob/motivation/herzberg/ Herzberg’s Theory suggests that pay and benefits are not motivators, because they do not satisfy the worker (who doesn’t want more pay or vacation time?). However, they can cause dissatisfaction if not sufficient. Critically compare and contrast his theory to the Job Characteristics Model. For example: What factors leading to satisfaction (motivators) can be aligned with Job Characteristics or Critical Psychological States? Do you think any of Herzberg’s dis-satisfiers (hygiene factors) align with Job Characteristics or Critical Psychological States? Does this mean one or both of these theories is wrong?(Besides the source listed above, bring in and cite at least one other source of information for your initial post.) Remember, after you submit your answer to the Discussion this week, you also need to respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. (In total for this module’s two-part Discussion Forum you should have contributed to at least two Discussion Question posts and four response posts to your classmates.) You MUST participate in BOTH Week 1 and Week 2 Discussions to get credit for this module’s Discussion Forum. Posting early each week will allow for more opportunities for leading the discussions, making substantial contributions, and engaging in meaningful and mutual discussions with others.

we have to write the chapter review for the each chapter ! The first assignment we have to complete 6 pages ! Each chapter for one and half pages so there is 4 chapter we have to finish until next week! Chapter Reviews It is vital in this course, that students read. You have been assigned two chapters a week to read before class. In this manner you will be prepared to engage in class discussions. Students will write a review worth 10 points for each of the 15 chapters. This should exhibit your learning and most importantly convince your professor the material has indeed been read! How can you do that? Provide more than the minimum summary provided by the text itself. Provide examples not found in the text. Due before class starts. I am assuming these should be approx. one and a half pages for each chapter. Don’t worry about the first week, turn it in by the second week. https://www.dropbox.com/s/56r217eihy73b62/%E6%AA%9… I have PDF for this book! Are you able to open it?
We must write our personal theory of learning according to what we read ( I will Attach the readings ) * The Guide for the final paper This is very general so as not to be too restrictive of your creativity. If you have major deviations from this type of format let me know, probably they will be OK too. I’m picturing the papers and presentations having the following core components, although not necessarily in this order: Your definition of learning complete with whatever other explanation of your theory that you need, including exemplars.In what ways is your definition compatible with the theories we discussed in class?In what ways is your definition incompatible with the theories we discussed in class?What outside material (drawn from your annotated bibliography) has informed your definition?Are there any pedagogically relevant predictions or implications of your definition? How do they differ from those forwarded by existing theories? How could you begin to empirically test the veracity of your definition? This doesn’t need to be statistically sophisticated, but you should forward some general research goals. In terms of length, I think 5-8 pages will be sufficient for most of your papers, and a 10 minute presentation will be a concise way to share your argument with the class. Your annotated bibliography will consist of those texts you read outside of the syllabus and a very brief explanation of how each were relevant to your theorizing. The bibliography is to read at least 4 articles for different scientist and explain how it is related to my theory ** the attach is the bibliography that we already read , the 4 that you have to read is different than the attachment
