    1. Applied AI Literacies in Information Practice. (Exceptions can be made in the next question.) I would like my content included in the book titled AI in Information Work, which may be made available and known to broad audiences in the future.

      I like that we are give this open while not required to all but somewhat of our work that we have does throughout the course. I think it will be interesting to post different perspectives and share while receiving them as well! Excited to see the final deliverable.

    1. ey were very careful to not use gendered language during the exam.It was all very matter of fact and they actively took steps to minimize any chestexposure, any referring to the chest tissue as “breasts” and things of that nature.

      Connect: I was thinking that in our doctoring labs, neutral language was also brought up to be used when talking to any patient. I think using these neutral and inclusive terms are both professional and help with making conversations about our bodies more normalized. I also learned recently rather than asking about smoking history, I could also just ask if a patient has a history of consuming tobacco products because it includes people who chew tobacco rather than smoke cigarettes. I hadn't thought of that before and I hope to learn about other ways to make my questions and clinical reasoning more inclusive for all patient demographics moving forward.

    2. I might bepregnant.

      Question: This person is sharing a sentiment that I know is felt among many queer people, that it feels that physicians ask invasive questions that bear no relevance to the patient's healthcare. I can sympathize with this and understand why a queer patient might feel this way upon being asked questions like these, but I can't help but think after my time in medical school that these are important questions to ask any patient. So my question is: Is it actually medically necessary to ask this of a patient who is technically capable of getting pregnant even when given the patient history, that there is no way of them getting pregnant? Or if it is medically relevant, is it just best practice to preface these social history questions with statements like "I ask all of my patients this and I want to get a better understanding of your health. If you feel uncomfortable at any given point, please let me know and we can stop at any time". Is there more that can be said to make patients feel more comfortable about these invasive questions?

    3. hey described situations in which, instead of a patient advocate,providers acted as agatekeeper, implicitly or explicitly asking transgender or genderqueerpeople to follow the recommendations of the provider before medical care such as surgery orhormones would be provided.

      Summarize: To promote dignity and respect of queer, and all, patients, physicians should strive towards collaboration and transparency with their patients. It is worth taking the time to explain things and listen so that any patient feels more understood and appreciated.

    1. Before we condemn the Indians of this continent as wanting genius, we must consider that letters have not yet been introduced among them. Were we to compare them in their present state with the Europeans North of the Alps, when the Roman arms and arts first crossed those mountains, the comparison would be unequal, because, at that time, those parts of Europe were swarming with numbers; because numbers produce emulation, and multiply the chances of improvement, and one improvement begets another. Yet I may safely ask, how many good poets, how many able mathematicians, how many great inventors in arts or sciences, had Europe North of the Alps then produced? And it was sixteen centuries after this before a Newton could be formed. I do not mean to deny, that there are varieties in the race of man, distinguished by their powers both of body and mind. I believe there are, as I see to be the case in the races of other animals. I only mean to suggest a doubt, whether the bulk and faculties of animals depend on the side of the Atlantic on which their food happens to grow, or which furnishes the elements of which they are compounded? Whether nature has enlisted herself as a Cis or Trans-Atlantic partisan? I am induced to suspect, there has been more eloquence than sound reasoning displayed in support of this theory; that it is one of those cases where the judgment has been seduced by a glowing pen: and whilst I render every tribute of honor and esteem to the celebrated zoologist, who has added, and is still adding, so many precious things to the treasures of science, I must doubt whether in this instance he has not cherished error also, by lending her for a moment his vivid imagination and bewitching language.

      somewhat of an anti-racist passage and to his credit borne of careful agnosticism. but the zoologist has been proved right.

    2. ut, 1. The skeleton of the mammoth (for so the incognitum has been called) bespeaks an animal of five or six times the cubit volume of the elephant, as Mons. de Buffon has admitted. 2. The grinders are five times as large, are square, and the grinding surface studded with four or five rows of blunt points: whereas those of the elephant are broad and thin, and their grinding surface flat. 3. I have never heard an instance, and suppose there has been none, of the grinder of an elephant being found in America. 4. From the known temperature and constitution of the elephant he could never have existed in those regions where the remains of the mammoth have been found. The elephant is a native only of the torrid zone and its vicinities: if, with the assistance of warm apartments and warm clothing, he has been preserved in life in the temperate climates of Europe, it has only been for a small portion of what would have been his natural period, and no instance of his multiplication in them has ever been known. But no bones of the mammoth, as I have before observed, have been ever found further South than the salines of the Holston, and they have been found as far North as the Arctic circle. Those, therefore, who are of opinion that the elephant and mammoth are the same, must believe, 1. That the elephant known to us can exist and multiply in the frozen zone; or, 2. That an eternal fire may once have warmed those regions, and since abandoned them, of which, however, the globe exhibits no unequivocal indications; or, 3. That the obliquity of the ecliptic, when these elephants lived, was so great as to include within the tropics all those regions in which the bones are found: the tropics being, as is before observed, the natural limits of habitation for the elephant. But if it be admitted that this obliquity has really decreased, and we adopt the highest rate of decrease yet pretended, that is, of one minute in a century, to transfer the northern tropic to the Arctic circle, would carry the existence of these supposed elephants 250,000 years back; a period far beyond our conception of the duration of animal bones left exposed to Page 44 the open air, as these are in many instances.

      a mind of the 18th century discussing paleontology in this fashion is so cozy

    3. besides the usual process for generating shells by the elaboration of earth and water in animal vessels, nature may have provided an equivalent operation, by passing the same materials through the pores of calcareous earths and stones: as we see calcareous dropstones generating every day by the percolation of water through lime-stone, and new marble forming in the quarries from which the old has been taken out; and it might be asked, whether it is more difficult for nature to shoot the calcareous juice into the form of a shell, than other juices into the forms of chrystals, plants, animals, according to the construction of the vessels through which they pass?

    4. The height of our mountains has not yet been estimated with any degree of exactness. The Alleghaney being the great ridge which divides the waters of the Atlantic from those of the Missisipi, its summit is doubtless more elevated above the ocean than that of any other mountain. But its relative height, compared with the base on which it stands, is not so great as that of some others, the country rising behind the successive ridges like the steps of stairs. The mountains of the Blue ridge, and of these the Peaks of Otter, are thought to be of a greater height, measured from their base, than any others in our country, and perhaps in North America

      this is pre L&C of course but i'm not sure how he wouldn't have got word of at least the sierra from the spanish somehow. or the volcanos of mexico.

    5. There will therefore be a competition between the Hudson and Patowmac rivers for the residue of the commerce of all the country westward of Lake Erié, on the waters of the lakes, of the Ohio, and upper parts of the Missisipi.

      这个需要改进. 按照我们之前讨论的.

    1. Behavioral medicine, with its inherent awareness of the relationship between mind, body, and spirit is a field particularly amenable to incorporating the practices of IM.

      .

    2. While it is tempting to address a constellation of symptoms with complex treatments, careful attention to root causes and streamlining interventions may yield better patient outcomes.

      .

    3. The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) protocol is a type of auricular acupuncture that may lessen the severity of withdrawal symptoms when used adjunctively with detoxification treatment. The NADA protocol is typically administered in group settings to improve adherence and involves bilateral needle insertion at five specific acupoints located on the ear.

      .

    4. Acupuncture is one component of TCM treatment that involves placing thin needles on particular sites on the body in a specific way. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of healthy subjects, Hui and colleagues found that acupuncture stimulation affects the emotional brain through primary deactivation of the amygdala and hypothalamus.

      .

    5. Osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) is a set of hands-on techniques aimed to treat structural, muscle, and tissue abnormalities; relieve joint restriction and misalignment; and promote circulation.

      .

    6. Tai chi and qigong are ancient forms of body movement practices. Both tai chi and qigong apply slow, intentional meditative movements that rely on self-awareness of body positions to adapt energy flow in the mind and body.

      .

    7. Yoga was found to significantly reduce PTSD symptoms, with effect sizes comparable to well-researched approaches for PTSD, including psychopharmacology and psychotherapy.

      .

    8. By combining mindfulness with elements from a validated treatment for depression, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), MBCT was created in the 1990s to reduce depression relapse.

      .

    9. Examples of mind–body therapies are breathing exercises, meditation, guided imagery, biofeedback, hypnosis, progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong.

      .

    10. However, an RCT called the “SMILES” trial studied the effects of directly applying a dietary intervention to treat depression in participants with poor diet quality.

      .

    11. Kava is an herbal anxiolytic postulated to target the same neurotransmitter as benzodiazepines, gamma-aminobutyric acid. Several case reports of liver toxicity surfaced in the 1990s leading to an initial ban of kava in Europe.

      .

    12. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was enacted in 1994 to standardize how natural products are regulated, sold, and marketed in the United States.

      .

    13. In contrast, most IM therapies (similar to many behavioral interventions) have multiple components, need to be implemented by a skilled practitioner, and aim to influence multiple symptoms.

      .

    14. It may be helpful for the clinician to organize domains on a spectrum, noticing how close an approach fits into a scientific paradigm. Typically, approaches falling closer to a biological, scientific model are a more natural fit for double-blind, randomized controlled trials (RCT) and thus more widely accepted into conventional medical practice.

      .

    15. Conversely, seemingly benign foods, such as grapefruit, may inhibit metabolism of many drugs and increase drug levels, conferring risk for side effects and toxicity.

    16. ou and Johnson analyzed 2012 NHIS data and identified 7493 respondents who both used CAM and had a primary care physician. Approximately 42.3% of respondents did not disclose CAM use to their primary care physician.

      .

    17. According to 2012 NHIS data, anxiety, stress, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and insomnia were among the top six conditions for which CAM was used in children.

      .

    18. One-fifth of patients used CAM because standard treatments were either ineffective or costly. One-fourth of patients used CAM due to recommendation by a conventional provider.

      .

    19. CAM use was more prevalent in adults with at least one neuropsychiatric symptom (43.8%) as opposed to adults without neuropsychiatric symptoms (29.7%).

      .

    20. Psychological contexts include traumatic experiences, psychological defenses, and traits. Social contexts include community support, social skills, major life transitions, employment, cultural beliefs, values, spirituality, and access to health care.

      .

    21. The term, “integrative medicine” (IM) defines an approach to healing that explores the whole person, including individual values and lifestyle, while making use of all appropriate and evidence-informed therapeutic modalities, health care professionals, and disciplines to promote optimal well-being.

      .

    1. To maximize the therapeutic outcome, it is essential that the referring practitioner communicate with the specialist—before the visit—about the nature of the medical problem, the desired clinical outcome, and the patient’s expectations about treatment.

      .

    2. In some surgical or dental procedures, hypnosis can be used as an adjunct to, or instead of, anesthesia. In addition, patients with chronic pain can be taught to relax the muscles they tense around areas of pain as part of their “guarding” or bracing efforts.

      .

    3. The clinician can devote 15–20 minutes to inducing a trance, during which the patient is led to form a full sensory recall of an experience in which he or she felt deeply relaxed.

      .

    4. Recent brain imaging studies, employing PET and functional MRI, have shown that the hypnotic state is related to a widespread set of cortical areas involving the occipital, parietal, precentral, premotor, and ventrolateral prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices.

    1. Always give credit to original sources when sharing ideas, quotes, or materials created by others. Familiarize yourself with citation practices and plagiarism guidelines.

      Regarding the use of AI for prep, would giving credit mean citing the original source that the generative AI used or citing the generative AI?

    2. Generate ideas for arguments or topics.Conduct preliminary research and gather information.Practice speech delivery through AI simulations or feedback tools.

      Does this mean that AI is permissible to help draft arguments during prep time in debates?

    3. Quizzes: Complete quizzes on argumentation theory and logical fallacies, reflecting on their real-world applications.

      Are these quizzes open note or closed note?

    1. In order to scaffold the process of building in student choice, consider focusing on one area of choice at a time. Consider how you can build student choice in terms of who students work with, what academic tasks they do to demonstrate learning, when they work on certain tasks, and where they sit for their work.

      This framework helps break down student-centered learning into manageable parts. I like how this shows that giving students choices can actually improve engagement and behavior when done correctly. It makes me wonder in how teachers can support students who feel overwhelmed even with structured choices.

    2. Student choice should be thoughtfully planned and implemented in order to build student autonomy and students’ capabilities at making choices that will be most beneficial and engaging to their learning. It is also important that student learning choices be aligned to content and language standards.

      This made me realize that student choice is not just giving freedom, but guiding students toward meaningful learning. For example, offering 2-3 assignment options can help students stay focused without feeling overwhelmed. This connects to creating a classroom that supports both independence and structure.

    3. importance of peer and self-assessment as a tool for self-regulated learning. Among the many benefits that she cites of self-assessment include the role that it can have in supporting students in taking responsibility for their learning, recognizing the value of students’ perspective as a data source, and offering a shared set of expectations between teacher and student.

      This highlights how assessment is not just about grades but about student growth. I think this is especially important for multilingual learners because it values their progress and voice. It makes me wonder what are some strategies teachers can use to model self-assessment for younger students.

    4. n cultures with strong oral traditions, information is communicated through storytelling, music, and poetry. The sharing of knowledge in this way requires strong interpersonal relationships. Such information is often pragmatic and extremely relevant to day to day life (Marshall & DeCapua, 2013).

      This shows that students from different cultural backgrounds may not connect with traditional written instructions as easily. It made me think about how important it is to include different teaching styles like discussion or storytelling. How can teachers better incorporate these cultural strengths while still preparing students for standardized testing?

    1. The smallest of the URF's (URFA6L), a 207-nucleotide (nt) reading frame overlapping out of phase the NH2-terminal portion of the adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) subunit 6 gene has been identified as the animal equivalent of the recently discovered yeast H+-ATPase subunit 8 gene. The functional significance of the other URF's has been, on the contrary, elusive. Recently, however, immunoprecipitation experiments with antibodies to purified, rotenone-sensitive NADH-ubiquinone oxido-reductase [hereafter referred to as respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase or complex I] from bovine heart, as well as enzyme fractionation studies, have indicated that six human URF's (that is, URF1, URF2, URF3, URF4, URF4L, and URF5, hereafter referred to as ND1, ND2, ND3, ND4, ND4L, and ND5) encode subunits of complex I. This is a large complex that also contains many subunits synthesized in the cytoplasm.*

    1. Here is a secret about college success that not many people know: successful students seek help. They use resources. And they do that as often as necessary to get what they need.

      I struggle with asking for help so it's a relief to read that seeking help when needed is common and actually encouraged. I think its really important because a lot of new students don't feel comfortable asking for help or like they're burdening the person they are asking for help. After reading this I will make sure to speak up and ask for help every time I need it, big or small.

    1. listening itself is tied to infrastructure

      This is really interesting to think about. Listening seems so tied up with the arts, creative expression, and so when I stream music, I often imagine that I am just supporting an artist. But there is so so much more that is intrinsiclly linked to music, especially streaming services like spotify.

    2. But this playlist depends entirely on digital access.

      Thinking of purely digital content is really challenging to me. I feel like growing up with technology, I think that I have a strong grasp of the "cloud," but when I really think deeper about intangible media, it really starts to freak me out.

    1. I wrote this as an annotation too but idk where it went: I love the picture on this page, I think that it perfectly ties together personal and greater global implications

    2. At the same time, I am still using the phone while working through this.

      this is so challenging to me. How can we challenge the digital revolution when often this challenge comes through a facilitation of technology itself? (i.e., spreading of information)

    3. Battery shows how the device wears down over time

      This was one of my favorite parts of the project, I think this commentary was sharply pointed at the capitalist nature of the tech industry.

    4. each app becomes a way of noticing a different layer of the device.

      its challenging in itself to imagine my phone with this many intangible layers. So often I just look at it as a black brick.

    5. I love this image, I don't know how you edited it like this, but I think it sets up personal implications (with device name) and global implications with the other sections really well.

    6. I use my phone constantly, but I don’t really think about what it is or what it depends on.

      This is something that I really relate on. I never think about my phone or even this laptop I'm typing on now. But to start to think about the consequences, implications, everything tied up in technology use and the privilege that comes with it is so overwhelming, it is almost discouraging. But I think that's what makes this conversation, and your project, so crucial!!

They observed the appointed saints' days, but it was while carrying on theirancient sacrifices, dances, and superstitions; they went to holy Communion, if it was desired,but without knowing either the Creed or Confession, and emerging from there, they went off toget drunk and to sing to the Devil their usual sorceries.

      Biard seems to think, as did many at the time, that conversion to Christianity must come by the integration not only of some beliefs and practices into indigenous perspectives, but a complete rewrite of society that requires the eschewal of all their previous practices.

    2. For they well understood that to do otherwisewould not only be a profanation of Christianity, but also an injustice towards the Savages.For, inasmuch as it is an injustice to induce any one to sign a promise, or compulsory oath,without giving him to understand the conditions to which he binds himself: how muchworse is it to force a rational being of competent age to make a solemn profession of the lawof God (which is done through Baptism), when he has never before been a novice, nor beenmade to understand the rules and duties of this profession? The Savages were not so stupidbut that they knew enough to reproach us for this injustice,

      Biard seems to come at this issue with a genuine frustration at the current state of proselytization that he has found amongst the Mi'kmaq. He seems to believe that previous attempts at baptism without engaging with the indigenous people as rational actors capable of embracing Christ intellectually has not only harmed their project, but the Mi'kmaq themselves!

    1. 92

      These annotations made me feel interested and more thoughtful about photography because both essays showed that images are more complicated than they first appear. Wollen made me see photography as something powerful because it freezes time, while Berger and Mohr made me realize that photographs can still be unclear and need interpretation. Together, the essays made me feel that photography is both strong and limited at the same time: it preserves real moments, but it does not always explain them fully.

    2. In the relation between a photograph and words, the photograph begs for an interpretation, and the words usually supply it.

      I think this is a strong ending idea because it shows that photographs become more meaningful when combined with language. The image captures attention, but words often help turn that attention into understanding.

    3. What is happening? It requires a caption for us to understand the significance of the event.

      This stood out to me because it argues that images do not always speak for themselves. Sometimes words are necessary to guide the viewer toward the intended meaning if its true or misleading.

    4. The ambiguity arises out of that discontinuity which gives rise to the second of the photo- graph’s twin messages.

      I found this important because it explains why photographs can feel sorta incomplete. They only show one instant, so the viewer is left wondering what happened before or after.

    5. Between the moment recorded and the present moment of looking at the photograph, there is an abyss.

      This made me feel that every photograph carries distance in it. By the time we look at a photo, the original moment is already gone, which gives the image a kind of sadness too it.

    6. Yet it tells us nothing of the significance of their existence.

      This part was powerful to me because it shows that a photograph can prove something existed without explaining why it matters. A photo may be truthful, but it can still leave out the deeper meaning.

    7. FILM IS ALL LIGHT AND» SHADOW. INCESSANT MOTION, TRANSIENCE, FLICKER, A SOURCE OF BACHELARDIAI REVERIE LIKE THE FLAMES © IN THE GRATE.

      I liked this comparison because it makes the difference between film and photography very easy to think. Film feels alive and moving, while photography feels frozen, preserved, and permanent.

    8. Some light is thrown on these questions by the verb-forms used in cantidus,

      This section made me see that even captions shape the way we understand photographs. The words under an image can push us to see it as action, or proof.

    9. It is useful to approach photography in the light of these categories. Is the signified of a photographic image to be seen as a state, a process or an event?

      This made me think more carefully about what a photograph is actually showing. A photo can capture a condition, an action, which means its meaning depends on how the viewer interprets it.

    10. or example, Roland Barthes’ antipathy towards the cinema and absorption in the still photograph.

      I thought this was interesting because it suggests that photography breaks the normal flow of time. Instead of showing life as ongoing, it takes one instant and makes us focus on it more deeply.

    11. The lover of photography is fascinated both by the instant and by the past. The moment captured in the image is of near-zero duration and located in an ever-receding ‘then’. At the same time, the spectator’s ‘now’, the moment of looking at the image, has no fixed duration.

      One thing that stood out to me was how Peter Wollen describes photography and film as opposites through the idea of time. In the first essay, he explains that film feels full of motion and change. This idea made photography feel more powerful to me than I first expected because even though it is still, it can hold meaning for a very long time.

    1. SWE-CI: Evaluating Agent Capabilities in Maintaining Codebases via Continuous Integration Authors:Jialong Chen, Xander Xu, Hu Wei, Chuan Chen, Bing Zhao View a PDF of the paper titled SWE-CI: Evaluating Agent Capabilities in Maintaining Codebases via Continuous Integration, by Jialong Chen and 4 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Large language model (LLM)-powered agents have demonstrated strong capabilities in automating software engineering tasks such as static bug fixing. However, in the real world, the development of mature software is typically predicated on complex requirement changes and long-term feature iterations -- a process that static, one-shot repair paradigms fail to capture. To bridge this gap, we propose SWE-CI, the first repository-level benchmark built upon the Continuous Integration loop, aiming to shift the evaluation paradigm for code generation from static, short-term functional correctness toward dynamic, long-term maintainability. The key insight is simple: Maintainability can be revealed by tracking how functional correctness changes over time. The benchmark comprises 100 tasks, each deriving from a real-world code repository with a development history spanning an average of 233 days and 71 consecutive commits. SWE-CI requires agents to systematically resolve these tasks through dozens of rounds of analysis and coding iterations. SWE-CI provides valuable insights into how well agents can sustain code quality throughout long-term evolution.

    1. Among California’s young Latino workers,Latina women are consistently enrolledin school at higher rates and have higherformal education levels than Latino men(Figure 10). About 10% of young Latinomen in high automation risk jobs did nothave a high school diploma and were notcurrently enrolled in school, twice the rate ofyoung Latina women in the same jobs (5%).Additionally, fewer Latino men in high-riskroles were enrolled in school compared toLatina women (39% compared to 53%,respectively).

      I find this interesting and I think this reflects the standards and expectations placed on men in Latino culture. Men are expected to work and provide (often in jobs which tax your body) and women are often more encouraged to go to school in my experience. Also I think the percentages may also include undocumented Latino men who very often don't have an education and also work in hard jobs.

    2. We can avoid this consequence by identifying the moral difference not in motivation, but instead within the actions themselves. For instance, virtual child abuse, like virtual racism or sexism, targets individuals using the same criteria for which actual individuals are targeted and harmed: victimizing a child because they are a child (or a woman because she’s a woman). Enjoying such actions comprises a lack of sensitivity towards these actual victims. Virtual murder, however, is often represented very differently from actual murder: the “victims” are usually just random and non-descript; they aren’t killed because of anything in particular about them

      Length of this paragraph probably signals more of a crossover into detailed analysis/argument.

    1. In the video, notice the many different ways of learning that Tim talks about. Most of his languages were learned on his own or ‘in the wild’ outside of a classroom, but he also has experience with French in a formal setting. He mentions different memory strategies for vocabulary learning as well as interacting with people to practice everyday phrases and gain cultural awareness.

      This suggests that while language learning can be long and challenging, it doesn't have to feel boring. I like how it emphasizes that learners can make the process more enjoyable, which can help keep motivation high and make learning more effective.

    2. In fact, all of these can contribute to language learning in different ways. Many people believe that learning a language is a long, tedious process. Well, it’s true that it IS a long and sometimes tedious process, but you, the learner, can decide whether to make it also really fun and to make the effort worth it.

      This shows that learning a language can take a long time and can be difficult, but it can also be enjoyable depending on your approach. It highlights that learners have control over making the process more engaging and worthwhile.

    3. Before we get started, we have a question for you. Have you ever questioned how you have been learning language? Have you paused and wondered if the ways you’ve been learning match your own preferences or goals?  For example, you might ask whether memorizing flashcards for a written test about vegetables in your Mandarin class will help you to be conversationally fluent. Or you might wonder if studying dialogues in French class was a good approach to learning to recognize grammar patterns. Or you may question whether your decision to learn Spanish just by talking with your friends will work for you in the long run.

      This passage encourages thinking about whether your study methods match your goals. It shows that not all strategies work the same, and being aware of how you learn can help you improve more effectively.

    1. Constructivism is a theory that stresses how learners actively build their own understanding in their learning environments. It emphasizes the role of interaction with others and reflection in the learning process. It is important to note that constructivism, unlike cognitivism, does not separate learners’ mental process from their learning experience.  Instead, it highlights that “… the individuals’ contributions to what is learned are not negligible and the culture and social environments in which individuals interact with others are also important in acquisition of skills and knowledge” (Baştürk, 2016, p. 904).

      This passage explains how constructivism focuses on learners actively building their own understanding through experiences and interactions. I believe that this is very interesting because of its highlights talking about learning isn't just individual and that it's influenced by social discussions, where I often understand concepts better after hearing different perspectives. This shows how constructivism goes further from just thinking and memorizing by emphasizing real life experience and social learning.

    2. Cognitivism is a vastly different learning theory from behaviorism. It acknowledges that “information is actively processed inside the mind of the person and the behaviour modification takes place by searching for the relationships that exist between the various bits of information” (Bates, 2019, p. 39). Instead of the regurgitation of knowledge and skills that occurs in behaviorism, there is more active engagement of the learner’s brain than we see in behaviorist tasks. Cognitivist learning can include things like solving language puzzles, analyzing scripted dialogues, or using clever memory strategies since these activities encourage our brains to search for relationships in the material.

      This paragraph explains how cognitivism focuses on what happens inside the mind, rather than just external behavior. I find it interesting because it emphasizes actively thinking, making connections, and understanding information instead of just memorizing it. The examples like solving puzzles and using memory strategies show how learning can be more engaging and meaningful. It makes me think about how I learn better when i actually understand patterns or relationships, not just repeat information, which shows why cognitivism can be more effective for long term learning.

    3. Behaviorism explains learning by saying, “People need to be directed and […] if the stimulus is something that the individual wants (a reward) or fears (a punishment), then the individual will respond accordingly and there will be a noticeable change in behaviour” (Bates, 2019, p. 23).  This means that you are training your brain like a ringmaster trains a lion to do tricks in the circus. Much like the lion and the ringmaster in the image below, behaviorism relies on eliciting a specific response to a specific stimulus and the consequential reward to indicate correct behavioral patterns.

      This passage explains behaviorism by showing how learning is based on rewards and punishments, which influence how people respond. I like the example comparing the brain to a lion being trained, because it makes the concept easy to understand. Our behaviors are shaped by repetition and reinforcement. It makes me think about how I've used this in real life, like studying more when I know there's a reward like a good grade, or avoiding mistakes to prevent negative outcomes. This shows how behaviorism can be effective, but also limited since it focuses more on actions than deeper understanding.

    4. There are many different learning theories, but let’s talk about three very influential ones: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. You’ve likely been influenced by all of these during your years of education, but have not known how to identify them. “Why is it important to identify them?”, you might ask. Since many people have different ways and preferences for learning, these theories can help us understand what we are actually doing when we learn. Different strategies are supported by different theories, and a strategy that builds long-term recollection of vocabulary for one person might not work for another person. Diving into learning theories is imperative to optimize your knowledge of not only your target language but also how you learn in general.

      This passage highlights how behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism shape the way we learn, even though we don't even realized it. It stands out to me because it explains why different study methods work for different people, there isn't a single best way to learn. I think this is important, especially in language learning, since understanding your own learning style can help you improve more efficiently. It also makes me think about how I've used different strategies in the past without knowing which theory they connected to.

    1. I took a look at d24, the article about bot activity on X during the Super Bowl, and it showed that around 75% of the traffic coming from the platform may have been fake. A detail from this source that stood out to me was how this was much higher compared to other platforms like Instagram or TikTok, which had very low percentages of fake traffic. This connects to what weve been learning about bots so far this course because it shows how they can significantly impact what we think is real engagement online.

      This is a really funny analysis one to see who is making his tweets percentage of staff vs him influencing it. Also I feel him using an android as opposed to an Iphone as usually I would assume him and hids staff would use the same types of devices.

      The article discusses the digital autonomy that cause harm to female users. According to survivors and feminism activists, being anonymous gives users the authority attack female/queer users without anyone knowing their real identities. Historically, women have been monitored by their community, and the Internet can either be another surveillance tool or a safe space where they can speak without fear of being tracked. However, in modern days, male users use anonymity as a weapon to escape accountability, and saying that they're just trolling. The reading states that getting rid of the real name policies would make sure the Internet doesn't protect attackers or help them live without fear even after what they've done. If we forced everyone to use their real identities, we would expose the most anonymous voices and force them off the web.

      Emily St James, in this source, overall explains that online platforms that are anonymous have been, for a long time, important spaces for trans people, especially those who are women, to be able to explore their identities and find a strong supportive community for themselves. Additionally, a detail is that trans users have in the past used anonymous servers on the Usenet platform to post messages and have conversations with others without having to reveal their identities, giving them the freedom to talk without being judged.

      This article looks at data from Donald Trump’s tweets and suggests that they might actually come from two different people like Trump and his team. Tweets sent from Android tend to sound more angry and negative, often using stronger or more critical language, while tweets from iPhone are more calm and professional, likely posted by his team to share updates, events, or images. They uses text analysis to look at tone and word choice to guess who is behind each tweet but I think people do not even care which one write it. Sometimes we saw his post was edit and deleted by his team maybe. It also shows how social media can be used to shape a certain image online, which connects to parasocial relationships where people feel like they understand someone based only on what they see online.

    1. Since we have different personas and ways of behaving in different groups of people, what happens if different groups of people are observing you at the same time? For example, someone might not know how to behave if they were at a restaurant with their friends and they noticed that their parents were seated at the table next to them. This is phenomenon is called “context collapse [f31].”

      Its interesting to think that the people we see online daily and that these people who influence potentially millions of viewers are acting in some way. I feel like that doesnt get translated over media well because we assume a sense of authenticity online compared to on tv or other mediums

    1. Anonymity can encourage inauthentic behavior because, with no way of tracing anything back to you[1], you can get away with pretending you are someone you are not, or behaving in ways that would get your true self in trouble.

      This is actually a very sad reality that happens everyday on social platforms. Since accounts are aninymous, people tend to develope a mindset of a keyboard warrior, where they will say the most unhinged and disrespectful words that they would never have the guts to say in person. Moreover, because there's hardly any way to trace things back to anonymous users, people believe that they would not have to take accountability of what they commented online. They can attack others, make them get depressed then hide away from the unwanted consequences easily. This encourage inauthentic behaviours that can cause real harm to other users.

    1. 6.3.1. Inauthentic Behaviors# Inauthentic behavior is when the reality doesn’t match what is being presented. Inauthenticity has, of course, existed throughout human history, from Ea-nasir [f14] complaining in 1750 BCE that the copper he ordered was not the high quality he had been promised [f15], to 1917 CE in England when Arthur Conan Doyle [f16] (the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories) was fooled by photographs that appeared to be of a child next to fairies. Fig. 6.4 A 1917 photograph whose creators claimed was a photo of a child with fairies [f17], proving that fairies exist (the fairies were actually cardboard cut-outs).# There are many ways inauthnticity shows up on internet-based social media, such as: Catfishing: Create a fake profile that doesn’t match the actual user, usually in an attempt to trick or scam someone Sockpuppet (or a “burner” account): Creating a fake profile in order to argue a position (sometimes intentionally argued poorly to make the position look bad) Fig. 6.5 US Congressional candidate Dean Browning in 2020 posting what appears to be a post intended for a sockpuppet account where he was pretending to be a gay Black man [f18].# Astroturfing: An artificially created crowd to make something look like it has popular support Parody accounts: An account that is intentionally mimicking a person or position, but intended to be understood as fake. Schrodinger’s asshole: the guy who says awful shit, and decides if he was “only kidding” depending on your reaction. [f19] Various types of trolling, which we will cover in the next chapter

      I agree with this explanation of inauthentic behavior, in which what appears to be or is shown is not that of reality. I have personally witnessed this happen so many times throughout my life, from receiving scam calls trying to scam me into revealing my bank details, to fake social media accounts trying to make me reveal personal information like my SSN. In the past, this was done through the use of spies sent to other organizations to secretly collect and steal important information. The forms of inauthentic behaviors may have changed over time but the core idea remains the same.
