Notes, summaries, assignments, exams, and problems for Baccalaureate

Tell me about you:

My name is Rachelle. I'm currently at University of Memphis Lambuth studying in my second semester of nursing. I am Social Chair for the Student Nurses' Association. I've always been fascinated in the human brain and why it works the way it does, and what happens when it isn't working. Following taking care of my diabetic grandfather, I always knew I wanted to be a nurse, and I have overcome many obstacles to get here. When I earn my degree, I want to be working on this floor. If I should summarize myself, I would say I am a leader, responsible, compassionate and very detail-oriented, though sometimes I can be too hard on myself to strive for perfection. I switched from the law field to healthcare because I want a career with... Continue reading "Passionate Nursing Student Seeking Neuro Floor Position" »

Data Gathering Methods

Physical Data Gathering Methods

1. Notes

   • Pros: Good overview, flexible, less intrusive, aids focus.
   • Cons: Can be difficult and slow, requires concentration, potential for bias.

2. Audio/Video Recording

   • Audio combined with photos can add valuable context.
   • Requires explicit permission from participants.
   • Raises potential privacy issues.
   • Requires good quality recording equipment.

Data Gathering Techniques

Surveys

Recruitment

• Define the target population clearly.
• Gather relevant demographic information.

Sampling

• Probabilistic Sampling: Each member has a known probability of being chosen.
  • Example: Census.
  • Random Sampling: Every individual has an equal chance.
  • Stratified Sampling: Ensures representation from each subset of the population.
• Non-probabilistic

To start a backend project.

- npm init

Then make a file with whatever entry point you named it as, for example, server.js

Once package.json is created:

• npm i <package>
• connect-mongo (store sessions in DB)
• dotenv (for config files, environment variables)
• express
• mongoose
• express-sessions (sessions and cookies)
• method-override (to use PUT, UPDATE, DELETE requests)
• moments (date formatting)
• morgan (logging)
• passport (authentication)

npm i -D <package>

• nodemon (Update every file change instantly without having to restart the server)
• cross-env (To update environment variables in script definition itself)

After installing the dependencies, edit the scripts in package.json

Types definition

#include <stdbool.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

Struct Definition

typedef int tItemL;
typedef struct tNode* tPosL; //Ptr to tNode
struct tNode {
tItemL data;

Prototypes

void createEmptyList(tList *L);
bool createNode(tPosL* p);
bool insertItem(tItemL d, tPosL p, tList *L);
void updateItem(tItemL d, tPosL p, tList* L);
tPosL findItem(tItemL d,tList L);
bool isEmptyList(tList L);
tItemL getItem(tPosL p, tList L);
tPosL first(tList L);
tPosL last(tList L);
tPosL previous(tPosL p, tList L);
tPosL next(tPosL p,tList L);
void deleteAtPosition(tPosL p , tList *L);
void deleteList(tList *L);

High School Reflections

High school has given me very good and not so good moments, but it was undoubtedly the best time of my life. I had many friends, and the days in class were fun and enjoyable. I remember that the first day of high school I entered with a lot of fear of not making friends since I didn't know anyone, but after the first playground I had already made 3 friends, one of whom today is my best friend. A not so good stage in high school was repeating the course, since I had a bad time both socially with my new classmates and on a personal level.

The Digital Connection

Today, both new and old generations have something in common: the need to connect to the internet, either to work or to hang out. I think that punishing a person without... Continue reading "Personal Reflections on Life's Journey" »
