The Present Level of Academic and Functional Performance is the foundation for an IEP. 

Directions for rolled steel plates are described as longitudinal, long transverse, and short transverse. Out of these, tension testing along short transverse direction typically shows lowest ductility.

SMART goals must be specific, measurable, attainable, results oriented, and time-bound.

Thermal cycling is better approximated by fatigue testing under strain control than stress control.

Changing the strain rate of a tensile test typically has the following effect on behavior:

List the three factors necessary to cause fatigue failure. [2pts each]

Fill in the blank – [2pts for each blank] For a ductile material in tension, necking begins at the point of local plastic instability where ________________ can no longer compensate for decrease in cross sectional area

List two possible microstructural changes which can occur during creep. [2pts each]

Brittle fracture is more common in FCC metals compared to BCC or HCP.

You must write your responses in the online version of Word, not in the space below. Access Word using your a#@alabama.edu address: https://www.microsoft365.com/launch/word. Note: If you are unable to make a Word file using Word through the link above, then use your Alabama.edu OneDrive: https://alabamaedu-my.sharepoint.com/ –You must create a new Word document. Using existing documents or copying/pasting from existing documents will result in an automatic 0 on the assignment. Once you have finished, then copy the document link from Word and paste it as the answer to the question. Do not attempt to paste your actual response. Instead, you will paste only the link to your document.   Part 1 Write a brief one-paragraph plot summary of “Everyday Use.”  The summary must be three to five sentences. Do not try to summarize as you read the story. Instead, you should read the story, set it aside, and then write the summary from your own memory. Avoid plagiarism! Use present-tense signal verbs. Do not use page numbers since a summary is understood to be recapping the full story rather than specific events.   Part 2 Identify a internal characteristic of Mama (Mrs. Johnson) OR Dee and explain the evidence you find in the story to support your position. List the character trait (This must be about the kind of person the character is, not a physical trait or a fact. For example, “Dee is Mrs. Johnson’s daughter” is a fact, not a character trait that argues what kind of person she is.) Explain one piece of evidence–and only one piece of evidence– to support your position. Note 1: If you quote the story, you must use quotation marks and a signal phrase as necessary to avoid plagiarism. Note 2: Whether you quote or summarize, you must include the PDF page number in parentheses at the end of your discussion.
