Gloster's Recommendation Letter

457 Words2 Pages

I am extremely pleased to recommend Dr. Daniel Gloster’s 2016 MNS Divisional Award for Excellence in Teaching for Part-Time (Adjunct) Faculty. I had first met Dr. Gloster in the Spring 2016 semester when I was taking Chemistry 113.4. I was required to take Chemistry 113.4 to complete my double major in both Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. Ever since the first day, he had always came prepared to class and had impeccably followed the syllabus course schedule. During his lectures, he was able to give clear explanations and had always made sure to do examples with a student to see the application of the lesson. Despite his single minded focus to have students ace the ACS exam and his determination to teach chemistry the best he could, he always made sure to inform his students that he would do everything in his power to help them. Dr. Gloster was patient and had more than happily stayed a little longer with students after the lecture to clarify concepts covered in class. On top of that, …show more content…

During the Spring 2016 semester I was also taking Physics 146 and it proved to be the most intense course I had ever taken. However, Dr. Gloster’s lessons on unit dimension, the application of Coulomb’s Law to obtain the lattice energy of ions and the magnetic properties of diatomic molecules proved to be invaluable. It not only reinforced my knowledge of electricity and magnetism, but using unit analysis had facilitated me in both understanding the new units such as Tesla, Amperes, etc. that I encountered in my Physics 146 class. The unit analysis lectures proved be a vitally important as it allowed me to check my work on both Chemistry and Physics examinations. If it weren’t for Dr. Gloster’s lectures, I would go so far to say that I perhaps would have had a C instead of B in Physics 146 and I definitely wouldn’t be on 91st percentile in the

In this memo, I will introduce myself with my major, some of my background, why I am taking the English 341 course, and what I hope to get out of taking this course. In the Spring of 2012, I was admitted and enrolled in NMT for the study of physics with the astrophysics option. Recently, last semester, I dropped the astrophysics option and am now a general physics major primarily due to funding issues with the GI Bill. Prior to beginning my time at NMT, I served for nine years in the U.S. Army.

In this ambitious work THE RACIST MIND by Raphael S. Ezekiel, the author endeavors to show the crude social Darwinism of the Neo-Nazis and Klansmen that exists. He uses his felid work to examine the many different ideology that contribute to the rise of the Neo-Nazis and Klansmen. Raphael is a social physiologist from the University of Michigan that uses his skills to go into the minds of different clan leaders to show the world what they undoubtedly think. Raphael goes into their daily lives by giving them rides, follows their progress at rallies, and shows concern. He confronts them with his Jewish faith to test their reactions.

Through this project, I got to analyze windmill sound data, collected by Dr. Andy Piacsek, to determine the noise level differences up and downwind. The Magnetic field worksheet was completed in my physics 183 class and it demonstrates my understanding about the magnetic fields that result from moving charges, and the net forces that result when a charge travels through a magnetic field. The matter waves worksheet, from modern physics 1, demonstrates my knowledge about particles behaving as waves, and about the probability density that show the location where electrons may be more likely found. The optics document attached demonstrated my knowledge about the resulting patterns of monochromatic light incident of single or double slits, and about the resolving power of lenses. The physics 182 exam attached demonstrates my ability to solve dynamics problems using the work-energy and impulse-momentum theorems.

Since I was a toddler, I enjoyed investigation and exploration. Whether through trying to create a potato-powered clock or through pulling apart the wires that comprise an old radio, I have always had an immense desire to know the intricacies that encompass any item or concept. At my high school, AP Chemistry provided me with the best resources through which I could understand and engage with the complexities of the world around me. The curriculum incorporated more than just textbooks or powerpoints, but also hands-on experiences and real-world applications of the science. Thus, this course nourished my curiosity and inspired me to pursue chemistry in college and beyond.

By the end of the semester I had become far more confident with the material, and I had not received another thirty percent on a quiz. One day after class, Ms. Barnett asked if I wanted to stay after school once a week to help her organize the lab. I was excited that she had noticed how I had disciplined myself as a student in her class, and happily agreed to do so. As the year progressed, I developed an academic and personal bond with her; similar to the bond I had to my grandfather.

Science, the subject that ignited my passion of wanting to learn, had become my most hated subject. In junior year I was assigned to Mr. Johnson’s AP Physics class. He was notorious for his poor teaching ability, according to his former students. Due to his inability to teach many of his former students were completely and utterly confused, resulting in many dropping his class. However, even with

In my first year at Texas Tech I was put on the frontier of scientific knowledge in order to contribute to humanity’s understanding of the universe. Since the ancient egyptians, research in science and mathematics has allowed humans to go from cave dwelling hunters to the first living organism to arrive on the moon’s surface. Due to my performance in my physics class, my professor has given me the opportunity to take the first step in my journey of becoming a theoretical physicist. That being starting research in solid-state physics. Research is incredibly important to every single person on this planet whether they are aware of it or not.

The positive impact from the lessons I learned in 39B is evident as my grade in lab went up from an A to an A+ over the course of one quarter. However, more importantly as a chemistry major, writing and publishing complete, informative, and concise lab reports will be essential to my success both at UCI and my dream occupation as a research chemist in nuclear and

During the spring 2016 semester I enrolled in physics II, organic chemistry II, and biochemistry, while also being a student researcher and participating in extracurricular activities. The combination of all of this left me feeling a little overwhelmed and stressed, to say the least, but I found a way to balance it all and still maintain good grades. I owe my ability to endure that semester to my ambition and the supportive community at Spelman. It was ambition that helped me through this difficult semester. My strong desire to learn the necessary material and have a satisfactory grade helped me by allowing me to expend all my possible resources to achieve the outcome I wanted.

Samantha Kralman Writing and Rhetoric, English 301 Cover Letter for Unit 1 September 29, 2014 Dear Professor Hughes, I would be negligent as a student if I did not mention my initial thoughts regarding Louis Althusser and On Ideology. Never fear, I will not dwell on the negative. My first foreboding thoughts are obvious; it is an extremely self-important piece of work showing a writer who may be a bit of a narcissist.

The class was broken down into two sections that day, the first half of the class was instruction on glucometers and blood sugars and the second half of the class was a test review for an upcoming exam. Observing an instructor in a teaching session is much different than being a student in class. I was able to have an outside perspective on

Frank has the following items: eighteen graduated cylinders, nineteen beakers, eighteen rulers, twenty-three sets of wooden blocks, sixteen sets of colored pencils, and ten scales. Frank’s biggest worry is the shortage of colored pencils and scales, but he really wants every student to get hands-on experiences. While Frank has plenty of select materials, he is worried about his current lab set up, but he believes he can manage. Frank has almost a full lesson planned, but he has to relate to his past experiences for guidance. When preforming labs, Frank has had difficulty with classroom management, but the problem is easy to solve.
