Essay Response

If i were hired by the module company to design their newest programming module, i would not change much of it. To me, the programming module is not bad at all. I think there can be minor changes in it to make it better. The module as of right now is good and kept me fairly interested in the lesson i was doing. The module is very informative and it can be difficult at times.

If i was redesigning this module i would make the programming module much more entertaining. I would change all of the questions in the module. I would change them to make sure students know what they are talking about and what they are reading. I would also add many more examples to the module. The module would have to be much longer and much more informative. The module as of right now i think is too short and can be done in a short amount of time.

I think if modules are going to be made to educate students, pragrammers should take much more time designing these programms. I would add many more written responses, teachers will have to look at the written responses that the students have written and the teachers will have to grade them. I think that if all the questions were multiple choice it would make it much easier for students to copy answers. This is not acceptable and students cannot learn anything by doing this. Written responses will make students know what they have learned and what they are talking about.

The grading sytem will remain the same. I think there is nothing wrong with the grading system for the programming module. Games will be included in the programming module. I think that if you make games it will keep the students very educated and interested. The students will strictly be about the module.

When is it ok to pirate software, if ever?
I think it is ok to pirate software only if the original company that made the original product gives you persmission to do it. But i dont think its ever ok to copy someones product without them knowing or giving you permission to.

Is the author correct? Does piracy encourage people to buy things?
I think the author is right, piracy encourages peoplr to buy things. When a person sees a product he or she likes, they will want to buy the product at the cheapest price. This encourages many buyers.

What should movie companies do to stop piracy?
I think movie companies should place patents on their movies and companys so people will not be able to pirate anything of theirs.

I think that schools should not use video games to teach students. The quality or learning from a viedo game and an experienced teacher is not the same.If we commit to video games to teach students they will not learn the necessary information that is easier to get from a teacher. Also, the learning process from a teacher is much faster and students are open to ask more questions.This is harder for students because they cannot ask a computer to answer their questions. I think students are not interested in educational video games. If students want to play video games they would want to play fun games with violence.

I think schools must have much more strict rules.Teachers should me more of mean people and not be so much of "friends" of students. I think there should not be second chances for students and if the students fail a certain course or class, they must not have a second chance at doing the class again.This will motivate students to do much better in class and to pay much more attention to their teacher and what they must learn.Many students come to school and just fool around.Also i think schools should send the progress reports to the students homes instead of giving them to the students. I think these ideas will motivate students to take school much more seriously and move foward in life even it its in a mean way.
