SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT SPANISH 4 & AP STUDENTS Recommended Books with Reading Levels
SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT SPANISH 4 & AP STUDENTS Recommended Books with Reading Levels How can I pass the AP Spanish exam? The AP exam is a very difficult exam. Some college Spanish students would not pass the test. If you are considering taking the AP test before graduating, the single most important factor that helps students pass the exam is reading. In levels 4 and AP there is a summer reading program. In order to have a high degree of success, you will need to read in Spanish this summer. The students who have read during the summer have returned in the fall without having lost any of their Spanish. Most students who have scored a 4 or 5 on the AP have stated that they read 2-3 novels in Spanish during the summer. The Summer Spanish Reading Program for students that are registered for Spanish IV & AP Spanish classes aims to strengthen reading skills and comprehension. Additional benefits will include: Higher scores on important standardized tests (like ACT, SAT and AP) A broader knowledge of literature in general Bonus points added to Spanish grades of participants for extra reading Required Reading for Spanish 4 & AP Spanish: All Spanish 4 & AP students MUST read at least two novels in Spanish during the summer. *********************************************************************** Remember, pick something that you: 1) Will enjoy reading, and... 2) Can read without looking up too many words. Which is just another way of saying “Interesting & comprehensible” that you have so often heard. Write a short reaction in Spanish (1-2 pages) to what you have read and be prepared to talk about it when you return. -
A Contextual Examination of Three Historical Stages of Atheism and the Legality of an American Freedom from Religion
ABSTRACT Rejecting the Definitive: A Contextual Examination of Three Historical Stages of Atheism and the Legality of an American Freedom from Religion Ethan Gjerset Quillen, B.A., M.A., M.A. Mentor: T. Michael Parrish, Ph.D. The trouble with “definitions” is they leave no room for evolution. When a word is concretely defined, it is done so in a particular time and place. Contextual interpretations permit a better understanding of certain heavy words; Atheism as a prime example. In the post-modern world Atheism has become more accepted and popular, especially as a reaction to global terrorism. However, the current definition of Atheism is terribly inaccurate. It cannot be stated properly that pagan Atheism is the same as New Atheism. By interpreting the Atheisms from four stages in the term‟s history a clearer picture of its meaning will come out, hopefully alleviating the stereotypical biases weighed upon it. In the interpretation of the Atheisms from Pagan Antiquity, the Enlightenment, the New Atheist Movement, and the American Judicial and Civil Religious system, a defense of the theory of elastic contextual interpretations, rather than concrete definitions, shall be made.

Reasoning About Knowledge and Action in Cluedo Using Prolog
UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN MASTER THESIS Department of Information Science and Media Studies Reasoning about Knowledge and Action in Cluedo using Prolog Author: VEMUND INNVÆR AARTUN Supervisor: THOMAS ÅGOTNES June 1, 2016 1 Abstract: This thesis will look at how to define a representation for the implementation of Cluedo and dynamic epistemic logic into Prolog. It looks at basics of modal logic, and definitions of dynamic epistemic logic. The thesis goes through the implementation in great detail, and shows a suggestion for how to best represent the game world of Cluedo. The thesis will look at how an agent using modal logic will compare against one that does not. And try to find out if Prolog is a programming language that is suitable for this kind of implementation. 2 3 Acknowledgements: I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who have helped me through this master thesis. Without the support and motivation from friends and family this would never be possible. A special thanks goes to: My parents Marit and Bjarte Aartun for their undying support, and encouragement. To Kristoffer Kjøsnes Kongsvik for believing in me, when I did not. And finally to my supervisor Thomas Ågotnes, for giving me the idea for the thesis, and helping me finish it. 4 5 Table of Contents: 1 Introduction 9 1.1 Research questions 9 1.2 Methodology 10 1.3 Thesis structure. 10 2 Theory: 11 2.1 Cluedo 11 2.2 Cluedo article 12 2.3 Dynamic epistemic logic 14 2.3.1 Basics expressions of modal logic 15 2.4 Definitions of dynamic epistemic logic 15 2.4.1 Definition 1(Dynamic epistemic logic LA) 16 2.4.2 Definition 2 (Knowledge actions KAA) 16 2.4.3 Definition 3 (Semantics of LA) 17 2.6 Implementation of AI in games. -
