is the aviation technology class at purdue university a good class to become a commercial airlines pilot?
i want to become a pilot for southwest airlines…i was wondering if the purdues aviation class was a good aviation class. is it hard to get into? what does your GPA have to be to get into purdues aviation technology ?
I’m sure that their program is fine. However, suggest that you explore alternatives as well. It is important to look into all possible paths toward your goals before you commit to anything.
A university program will often cost much more than training at a typical flight school, and there isn’t much advantage to going to an aviation university because at the end of the day, a pilot certificate is a pilot certificate and hours are hours, no matter where you got them. In addition, many people recommend getting a degree outside of aviation to diversify your experiences and to serve as a backup plan.
Do your homework before embarking on this career, and definitely consider all possible paths to your goals. Also get many sources of information because every pilot has a different perspective. The sites below can help as well.

How should I put substitute teaching at many places on my resume?
I substitute teach at about 6 different schools. How should I list this as job experience on my teaching resume? Should I list each school individually? That will take up so much room, and I do the same thing (have the same job responsibilities) at each school, so it seems senseless to keep repeating that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
You can list them separately or group them together. If you do not have much other experience, there is nothing wrong with listing them separately, even if there is some overlap. This is probably most desirable to your potential employers. They want to know where you worked, for how long, and what you did there. Even if this seems very repetative to you, do it this way. Usually you can add or alter one detail on each so that are not exactly the same. I used to have several part-time teaching jobs that started and ended during overlapping periods and this worked well for me. Now I have many years of full-time teaching expereince, I no longer need to list the others, both because the full-time is more relvant and because it is more recent.
If you happen to have some full-time teaching experience and it does not seem like enough, you can list your substiting experience as a group. Instead of listing XYZ School District, use a heading such as Various Southern California School Districts. Then you follow the same format as the full-time teaching jobs, listing substitute teacher as the job title, followed by the respective duties. Use the exact same formating and pagination as with the full-time teaching jobs (if any).

What were some strategies during the middle ages?
i have a social studies project for which i have to make a castle display and for it my topic is battles during the middle ages. well what my question is what were some strategies at the time? like the battering ram to break down gates, and fiery arrows to burn the catsle down and also the ladder to clim up and raid from the top. what were some other ones?
They would also pour boiling liquid, most often oil, down on the attackers from the castle ramparts. This would burn them but also seem to cling to their skin, increasing the agony and making the attackers more terrified to attack. The attackers of a castle or fort also used towers to mount the walls. Many soldiers could be crammed inside and it had wheels on the bottom to push it to the castle walls. Once against the walls a gate at the top of the tower was released and the soldiers could all pour out onto the top of the walls.
A siege technique attackers of a castle or fort would sometimes use was, although gruesome, very effective. They would set up a catapult, and load it with dead horses that had been killed in battle. They would then fire the bodies over the walls and within a few hours or days the bodies began to rot, causing disease within the walls and obviously an awful smell. For an extra terror effect sometimes bodies or often heads of the defenders’ soldiers were fired back over the walls to strike fear into them. Trebuchets were huge catapults used usually to fire huge boulders at walls although were occasionally used against large armies and they could fire a long distance.
On the battlefield there were often not very much strategies but infact a bloodbath of both armies meeting and fighting in close quarters. Archers were often used tactically to demoralise the enemy, as well as terror units such as axeman who could cleave a man and horse in two with one blow.
Cavalry were used to break enemy ranks and also to confuse and frighten the enemy soldiers.

What is your philosophy of higher education?
I am trying to write a paper for one of my classes, and am having a hard time finding information on the topic. Our prof wants us to get others philosophies of higher education and evaluate them and come up with our own. However, when I search "philosophy of higher education" all I get is info on PhD programs! So, if you are a higher ed administrator or an educator, what is your philosophy of higher education, or what is your college’s philosophy?
Also if you have any tips on where to find this information, or better ways to search, please let me know!
Thanks for your help!
One reason why you may not be finding anything specifically on this topic is because it is subjective and interpretive.
My opinion is that higher education is fine if it has a practical application. For instance, practicing law or becoming a doctor but there are many other professions where this could hamper the individual. From a professional aspect, the worst Engineers I have ever had on my staff or worked with me are PhD’s. Their minds are developed in such an analytical manner that they become dysfunctional. Also, this is compounded by people who achieve degrees all in the same field i.e. engineering. I think it is great from a science perspective but from management or operatability it is useless.
I would rather see an Engineer with an undergrad and MS or a MBA rather than a PhD anytime. To this day, I wont higher PhD because I have no use for them.
What color should I paint my classroom?
I teach kindergarten and am about to repaint my classroom. I was thinking about a bright color on each wall, but someone suggested that I didn’t want to overstimulate the students. What colors do yall think? Also I have someone willing to paint a mural on one of the walls? What pictures, themes or characters do you think the kindergarteners would like? Boys and girls both.
paint the walls light colors ie. (yellow,pink, baby blue) then each yr lets the kids do their handprints on the wall! I did it when i was little and im in 11th grade and went back to my elm. school to see my handprint!!
