SIngle Pilot IFR
This article was very interesting in a few different ways and gave me thoughts i wouldn't normally think about. After reading this and the point that I am in my flight training i probably wouldn't go single pilot IFR because of the little time and experience that I currently have. IF and when I build up my time and become more familiar with single pilot IFR procedures and gain that confidants in myself and the aircraft I'm flying I then wouldn't mind flying single pilot IFR. Something that I gained from this article is don’t let your confidence exceed your ability and Plan your flight thoroughly and walk through your entire proposed flight, and rehearse alternative approaches, alternates, missed approaches, and emergencies.

Multi Engine Ground Bloggs #1
I have been looking forward to this class my entire college career. I really want to obtain the knowledge, skills, and importance of flying a complex twin. I expect to gain the necessary knowledge to pass my required exams and check ride. I'm looking forward to learning about the advanced systems in our twin, and being able to know them inside and out! This is because I want to be prepared as I can be when I apply and get interviewed by the airlines since they want you to know and demonstrate the most recent twin you have been flying, and in my case our Piper Seminole. I expect to gain a different insight in other peoples thoughts that I necessarily wouldn't think about myself! I have blogged before in CFI Ground and English, they can be a useful tool if used the right way and if not I feel its completely useless and a waste of time just to complete an assignment.

FIA Question 1!
Getting your student ready for their stage check is a big event, and not having your student be proficient on landings can hinder a pass or fail check. I think some techniques that can be demonstrated to your student to overcome whatever is holding them back from making safe and successful landing can be low passed over the runway, chair flying the pattern and motion, stay in ground effect as long a possible as the airplane airspeed drops, explain the sight picture of a stable approach and how to make final/short final as stable as possible with few corrections. Also show them where to be looking in the flare down the runway, have them be able to feel the flare and how much pressure is needed, where to start it and how much is needed at the point of touchdown.
I think these are some basic steps to resolve the landing plateau, if these don't work or the student isn't grasping any concept it is time to bring in another instructor to see if there techniques or strategies will help there plateau. Then if this doesn't work after around 5-10 hrs I think it would be a good idea to tell a supervisor or chief on the situation or learning plateau. I then feel as they would have the most experience and if they can't have the student come around or succeed over there plateau, only then at that point I would feel the "maybe aviation isn't for you talk." I think these are some basic steps that can easily be taken to overcome a students plateau!

Visualization Article, Mastering the Landing, Training future Captains
Visualization Article:
I think this was a great article with a lot to take from. I really think teaching my students the value and concepts of visualization or "chair flying" can greatly increase there skills and progression rate in their flight training. Because knowing the procedures, maneuvers, and having a flow can reduce hesitation and increase confident in mishaps or emergency's.
Mastering the Landing:
I really enjoyed this article it had some awesome points and did a great job in describing the landing procedures and what goes through the pilots head each step of the way. I can take all of the information away and use it as a great tool to teach future students, but I feel that the most important concept is all about Vision. " Vision is one of the best tools you can use to estimate height and movement during your approach and roundout" this pretty much sums up landings and the visual cues behind the sectors of the landing.
Training future Captains:
I really enjoyed this article because it had some great valid point in becoming a captain and qualities looked for. I think as a pilot and looking to grow in the aviation field, I felt that professionalism with proper radio communication is a biggie from day one. This is something you have total control over, and this will not only represent you but, your communication will also be representing your company. Many company look for professionalism and if you begin to gain bad habits now it will be harder for you to break them to the company standard.

Assessment Artical
What is formative and summative assessment?
Formative assessment refers to measurements and conclusions that are made during the course of a learning program. It's intended to determine whether or not an existing program is satisfactory or needs to be modified in some way shape or form before it's complete.
Summative assessment refers to measurements made at the end of a learning unit or learning program. They results in final judgments about the achievement of the learners and the effectiveness of learning activities.
What is the difference between Criterion, Norm and self-referenced Interpretations?
Criterion referenced assessments are intended to determine whether or not a learner has achieved an objectively set level of competence, AKA the preferred method. Norm referenced assessments are normally selected when learners are studying material for which there is no agreement on what a person must know. Self referenced assessments are used when the learning goals are personal.
What is self-directed learning?
Self-directed learning are learners who prefer learning contracts where they can choose both the learning and the assessment activities. They want feedback on how successfully they have integrated alternatives perspectives into there work. They also see educators as colleagues rather than an authority figure, their preference is for self-referenced assessments and/or critiques from two or more peers at both the formative and summative levels.

Visual Auditory and Kinesthetic Learners
Which modality do you learn the best with?
My modality that I learn best with is visual and kinesthtic. I feel that hearing things is useful but I understand and comprehend information more through pictures and hands on exercises where it gets me into what I'm learning and can really experience the material.
Summarize at least 2 points you took out of the article that you will use in your teaching.
One of the points that I took out of the reading is to teach with all of the modalities and not to stick to one because of all different types of students and the way they learn. Knowing and using the appropriate modalities will help yourself and your ability to teach a larger amount students which will better your experience, and ability to teach more to gain more flight hrs.
Another modality I would use in my teaching is to really get to know your student and with getting to know them you can find out which modality the learn best with. I have had first hand experience with this because there have been times where I couldn't understand there teaching style and wasn't conformed to me (the student) to learn what was being taught.

Constructivist vs. Positivist Article
What is Epistemology?
Epistemology is a branch of philosophy concerned with the possibility and extent of human knowledge. It is the way we describe, understand, and way we look at things.
Briefly describe the differences between Constructivist and Positivist.
The constructivist theory is to me deals with more personal interpenetration rather than solid fact that people can see and have different thoughts and view points on. Positivist measures knowledge in more of a factual way, and a solid line on the topic with no if and or buts. It's also factual and proven to make it a law or method. It can be a little easier to understand because there is no room for individual interpretation and everyone can be on the same page.
Which Epistemology do you identify with and why?
I think that I identify with Positive Epistemology because I like facts and clear cut answers. I like having my own opinion and seeing other peoples view on a certain subject and there view point.
I enjoy laws, facts, and methods because its something people can all agree on from all walks of life and view points will all coincide and also have evidence and proof to back up what is being taught.
