What is formal report?

Asked by Wiki User

Formal reports can provide an employer with the opportunity to record your progress within the company. A properly conducted report and the notes can be very powerful in the sense that it can be a tool to help employees progress in the company or their particular work. The report can include decisions to train you or to promote you in any way. But if your behaviour is unsatisfactory then this will be recorded with targets that you are meant to be achieving and that you have agreed to meet.

What is the minimum SAT score required for Arizona State University?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't know the exact GPA for Arizona State University. But you definitely need to get decent grades. A good GPA and a decent SAT scores are a must. After you accomplish this, start thinking about ways you can separate yourself from the competition. Extracurricular activates are very important. Lastly, make sure you want to go to Arizona State University. I know a lot of students that thought they wanted to go to their dream school, but when they got in and went to that school, they were really disappointed. You can get information about the academic requirements here: http://www.unigo.com/arizona_state_university/rankings/

Do teachers wear uniforms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is not necessary for teachers to wear uniforms. After all, their schooling days are over and relief of not having to put on another boring standard uniform would definitely be extinguished. However, it is of utmost importance that teachers dress appropriately and within certain guidelines.

Their dressing potrays their personality and also tends to affect how seriously they are taken by the students. In addition to that, they are setting an example for the students to follow. Students who observe a particularly innappropriately dressed teacher will follow suit and neglect their own dress code or uniform.

Therefore, the topic of whether teachers should wear uniforms is highly debatable and there are both pros and cons to this subject. But for teachers the safest thing to do would be to ditch the tight, short, transparent, revealing attire and dress professionally for students to admire respectfully.

What is Harvard University motto and what does it mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The motto is commonly trimmed to the single word "Veritas", Latin for "Truth".

But in fact the full official motto is the longer, "Veritas christo et ecclesiae," that is, "Truth for Christ and the church". The motto dates from 1692 and reflects the university's religious roots.

What religious group founded Harvard University?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Harvard was initially founded by Puritan immigrants to train more clergy. In 1636 the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony voted to form "New Colledge," also known as "the college at New Towne." In 1639 it was renamed "Harvard Colledge" in tribute to John Harvard, a clergyman who willed 400 books to the school upon his death.

The university was expected to prepare young men for the ministry.

Who was the first woman to graduate from law school?

User Avatar

Asked by WriteClub

Arabella Mansfield (née Belle Aurelia Babb) was the first woman to pass the bar exam when she did so on June 9, 1868. She was admitted to the Iowa bar in 1869. However, rather than practicing law, Mansfield (and her husband John Mansfield, a chemistry professor) chose to focus on academic careers.

Myra Bradwell (née Myra Colby) passed the Illinois bar exam in 1869. She applied to practice law in Illinois but was prevented from doing so, due to gender, until 1892.

When Bradwell appealed to the US Supreme Court that she be allowed to practice law Associate Justice Joseph P. Bradley stated in the decision to decline to her appeal:

The natural and proper timidity and delicacy which belongs to the female sex evidently unfits it for many occupations of civil life... The paramount destiny and mission of women are to fulfill the noble and benign office of wife and mother. This is the law of the Creator. In 1892, the US Supreme Court granted Bradwell a law license retroactive to the date of her application. In addition, Myra Bradwell was the first woman to join a bar association.

Approximately $44,500 per year, including room & board, though significant financial aid is offered - if your family income amounts to around $120,000-$180,000, yearly tuition is 10% of that, and below it decreases on a sliding scale until $60,000, when it becomes free.

Where did Obama rank in his class?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We do not rank students at HLS. The student with the top GPA is awarded a prize, the rare student who gets mostly A+s is awarded summa cum laude, there are many years where no one obtains this degree.

However, one can infer from his magna cum laude degree that he was in the top 10% of his class. His position on the law review could mean he was high within that 10% bracket. But there is actually a way to know where he ranks from #1 through 10%.

Magna cum laude is awarded to the top 20% of graduating students. Summa cum laude is awarded to the top 4-5% of graduates. But when Barack Obama graduated from Harvard Law School no one had graduated Summa cum Laude from Harvard in decades and no one graduated Summa cum Laude that year (when he graduated), either. Barack Obama graduated Magna cum Laude and had the highest GPA of anyone graduating from Harvard Law School that year. Therefore he received a prize for having the highest GPA. Some of Obama's classmates who also graduated that year have publicly stated that Obama won the prize for having the highest GPA in the class.

Asked by Wiki User

Harvard does not provide merit based financial aid. All aid is need based. The Committee on General Scholarships (CGS) at Harvard University administers scholarship, fellowship, and loan funds that provide over $5 million in financial assistance to more than 400 Harvard students each year. Our funds fall into three general categories.

* Restricted Scholarship Funds

* Funds for International Students Traveling

* Fellowship Funds For the source and more detailed information concerning this request, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below this answer box.

Did Barack Obama attend Harvard University on a scholarship?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, he has said that he received several grants, but there isn't much evidence that he received a large amount of scholarship aid. By most accounts, Mr. Obama's grandparents helped pay for much of his undergraduate education; they saved up money to help him attend. For graduate school, he saved up some of his own money by working for five years, and he also got scholarships and student loans. He has said that both he and his wife Michelle were finally able to pay off their college loans about six years ago.

Harvard College was founded as a Puritan college with its primary purpose to train new ministers. New ministers were needed because with the increasing population of the Puritan colonies of New England, the parishes were strained because there was a shortage of ministers.
