Hypothetical: Some of your learners are struggling with a concept in your class. You decide to use a “Google Hangout” study session and invite students who are struggling to attend for additional synchronous help. During the Hangout some of your students convey personal information about how and why they are struggling in class. Consider the ethical issues that might arise from the design of this synchronous study session.
For example, could you record and reuse the Hangout for another class?
Could you prevent students from recording and distributing the Hangout?
How would you design the synchronous study session to exemplify and ensure ethical usage of the technology?

In addition to being written at a college level:
• Your thesis support essay must be 500 – 750words, typed, double spaced.
• Your essay must have an introduction, at least three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Do not retell the story!
• Use at least three correctly documented quotes, summaries, or paraphrases from “Night”. Note: Remember to enclose the exact words of your sources in “quotation marks.”
Cite by author and page number in parentheses following each quote. Example (Wiesel 32).

From deportation from Sighet to murder at Birkenau, deception was often used to confuse and demoralize the prisoners. Eliezer observes the now-infamous inscription above the entrance to Auschwitz, equating work with liberty. How does that inscription come to embody the deceit and bitter irony of the Nazi camps? What was the inscription? What was “work” of the prisoners? How does deception dehumanize? (Think about what all the lies do to the human spirit)

literature search concerning block-copolymer micelles in liquid solutions

Description:
Could you please do a quick literature search for me concerning block-copolymer micelles in liquid solutions.

We all know about the micellar transitions usually referred to as the critical micelle concentration and the critical micelle temperature. Here are my questions:

* Is CMC an instantaneous, “black-white” transition, from a 100% random solution to a 100% micellar solution (where the micelle concentration is 100%) upon increasing copolymer concentration, and vice versa, upon dilution? If not, if in fact the micellar solution contains both unimers and micelles, what do we know about it?

* same question about CMT?

* what do we know about micelle concentration below and above CMC as we increase/decrease the copolymer concentration?

* same for CMT?

* What are the solvent effects on these phenomena?

* What do we know about exchange of single polymer change among micelles?
