This paper is a one hypothesis research that investigates the perception of teachers on the effect of grammar on the expressive or productive skill of writing to provide a good platform for literacy teaching. One hundred undergraduates and post-graduates participants—50 each—were given a fifteen-item questionnaire to show their opinion on the relevance of grammar to the teaching of continuous writing. The hypothesis tested at 0.05 level of significance was rejected. Obtaining a mean score of 2.93 above the undergraduate students’ 1.92 in the t-test of the data collected, the findings show that the post-graduate students believe grammar is an essential part of good writing. The researcher consequently suggests ways of slicing up grammar teaching for better performance in writing.

Abstract. This study aimed to examine the effects of anchoring in task performance appraisal. It was hypothesized that there would be difference score inmeasuring task performance with high anchoring and low anchoring methods. High anchoring methodwas predicted to show higher scores rather than using low anchoring method. Participantswere 117 post-graduate students from Master of Management in Universitas Gadjah Mada. They were assigned in two groups. The first group (N=70) was instructed to rate an employee from lower to higher score (high anchoring method), while the second group (N=47) was instructed to rate the employee fromhigher to lower score (low anchoring method). Result of independent sample T-test showed that anchoring method had no significant effect on task performance appraisal. Factors which might be affecting this result are discussed Keywords: anchoring; appraisal; performance; post-graduate students; quasi-experimental study; task performance;

The data were analyzed using the student’s t -test and one-way ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni test.Results. A total of 870 students participated in the study. Most of them were females and were pursuing undergraduate studies. Post graduate students had greater medication prescription knowledge than the undergraduate students. Nevertheless, practice of medication prescription among these two was found adequate.Conclusion. Undergraduate dental students have lower knowledge about medication prescription as compared to post-graduate students. Also, knowledge of prescription of medicines in males were higher in comparison to females, though prescription practices of all the dental students was found almost similar.

They are either employed for different institutions or have no work at least within the period of distributing the questionnaire. The researchers used an 18-item questionnaire as a tool of the study. The responses elicited from participants were manipulated through using the SPSS package to deduce frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, degrees and significant values. Findings of the study showed that the most frequent motivational factors that stand behind code-mixing were mainly related to speech emphasis, raised topics conformation, addressees understanding of the speech. As for the variables of the study, no statistically significant differences in the means of the participants responses attributed to gender or students status were found.
