    1. Digging a little deeper to find out what you can about the reputation of both the author and the publication can go a long way toward deciding whether a source is valuable.

      I think this is valuable because you should see what others think about your sources and, how reliable they are.

    2. If the research topic you are using has ever been the cause of heated debate, you will need to be especially watchful for any bias in the sources you find.

      I agree and some biases can be negative.

    3. Don’t pick something that’s not really related just because it’s on the first page or two of results or because it sounds good.

      I agree you need to make sure your research is based on exactly what you need.

    4. Information on the Internet can also be of a high quality but there is less of a quality assurance process in place for much of that information.

      The internet tends to lie about a lot of their information. Ebooks are a better quality.

    5. it undergoes a review process in order to confirm that the information is accurate and the research it discusses is valid. This process adds a level of credibility to the article that you would not find in a magazine or news articl

      I agree this information is never false or wrong. This is why I love to use scholarly research.

    6. Anyone can create or contribute to social media and nothing that’s said is checked for accuracy before it’s posted for the world to see.

      everyday I see false advertising on social media that nobody fact checks.

    7. The information and data landscape of their learning/research context Issues of quality, accuracy, relevance, bias, reputation and credibility relating to information and data sources How information is evaluated and published, to help inform their personal evaluation process

      I think is is always best to make sure your sources are accurate and reliable.

    1. monosyllabic

      Explanation in English:

      The excerpt "monosyllabic" refers to using few words, often just one syllable in responses, suggesting a lack of detail or engagement in conversation. In the surrounding context, one character expresses frustration about another's communication style, indicating that the person has been uncommunicative and only provides short, simplistic replies. This behavior is likened to that of a teenage boy, implying that the person is withdrawn or unwilling to share their thoughts and feelings openly.

      Explanation in Chinese:

      “单音节的”一词指的是在回答中使用很少的信息,通常只有一个音节,表明谈话缺乏细节或参与感。在周围的上下文中,一个角色对另一个人的交流风格表示沮丧,指出对方沟通不畅,只给出简短且简单的回答。这种行为被比作青少年男孩,暗示这个人内向或不愿意公开分享自己的想法和感受。

    2. clout,

      The excerpt "clout" refers to influence or power, particularly in social or professional contexts. In the surrounding dialogue, the speakers are discussing a competitive situation, likely involving a sports match, where the concept of "clout" symbolizes the impact that individual players might have on the game's outcome. The conversation suggests a tension about fairness, skill, and the necessity of winning.

      在这一段中,“clout”意指影响力或权力,尤其是在社交或职业环境中。对话的背景涉及一个竞争性场合,可能是体育比赛,其中“clout”的概念象征着个别选手对比赛结果的影响。谈话中暗示着关于公平性、技能及获胜必要性之间的紧张关系。

    3. Berating

      The excerpt you provided discusses the term "berating," which refers to the act of scolding or criticizing someone harshly. In this context, one character is accused of berating another, although they deny it, claiming they just care. The conversation reveals a dynamic where one person feels guilty for potentially coming across as critical, while the other reassures them that it's not a problem. This illustrates how misunderstandings in communication can occur, especially regarding intentions and emotional care.

      Chinese Translation: 这段摘录讨论了“训斥”这个词,指的是严厉地责骂或批评某人。在这个上下文中,一位角色被指责训斥另一位角色,尽管他否认这一点,声称他只是关心对方。对话揭示了一个动态关系,其中一人因可能被视为批评而感到内疚,而另一人则安慰他这没有问题。这说明了在沟通中,尤其是在意图和情感关怀方面,误解是如何发生的。

    1. pay attention to issues that interest you, and take note of concepts, organizations, people, studies, or events that you might want to research further.

      I always like to research on the most important information like the things that led to this issue.

    2. Choosing the wrong search tool may just waste your time and provide only mediocre information, whereas other sources might provide really spot-on information

      Google is less reliable than academic journals.

    3. You may disagree with some of what you read. If you do, follow through and test both methods to see which provides better results.

      I think wikipedia is not the best way to research for the best results you should have a hands on paper and pin. Along with a computer for your research. You should research in academic journals, historical letters, and ebooks.

    4. Did you spend enough time finding the best tools to search? What is going really well, so well that you’ll want to remember to do it in the future?

      I think these are good question to ask during research make sure you have enough information to elaborate on your topic.

    5. Alisha thinks that maybe Sarah shouldn’t have entered the entire thesis statement as the search, and maybe she should have tried databases to find articles.

      I agree she should have researched on topics related to feminism.

    6. Understanding a range of searching techniques Understanding the various tools and how they differ Knowing how to create effective search strategies Being open to searching out the most appropriate tools

      These are very effective strategies to use in research. This allows people like me and sarah to better our understanding on topics.

    1. The Testing Effect (Retrieval Practice) – to maximize the amount by which yourmemory is extended when solving review problems, it’s necessary to avoid looking backat reference material unless you are totally stuck and cannot remember how to proceed.

      Oof, nothing against frequent testing but this seems like it will push people to work with synthesized summaries rather than the full-fat version

    2. Armed with this information, if your goal is to maximize your depth within a talent domain,then the optimal rational strategy is a greedy approach:1. Augment your knowledge base with all the examples and problem-solving experiences inthe intended direction, as quickly as possible.2. Upon reaching the edge of human knowledge in that direction, and only then, switchover to creative production.Creative production is a substantially less efficient means of acquiring skills within a talentdomain, so you want to save it for the end when it’s the only way to continue moving forward.

      This is interesting because I have to compare it to how people talk about creating comics and videogames, creative endeavors that require synthesizing a lot of skills across a lot of areas... you just have to do the thing, you need to not spend your life preparing.

      He immediately notes:

      (To briefly fend off an expected critique: the act of perpetually avoiding the leap into creative production, opting instead to indefinitely “expand sideways,” acquiring skills that are not foundational for the talent domain, does not constitute the above strategy.)

      But, like, doesn't this imply a lot of load-bearing certainty about what is and isn't foundational and where you've found the edge of human knowledge?

    1. Most videos include closed captioning or subtitles so they are accessible to a wide range of viewers.

      Some people may not speak english so this is beneficial to understand the language.

    2. They sometimes contain visuals like photographs or colorful graphics to keep the reader’s attention.

      I like that magazine show pictures or data this helps me understand more clearly.

    3. Physical books (and some ebooks too) are often hand-selected by librarians because of the quality of the author and/or content. They often contain a bibliography, footnotes, or endnotes that can be used as jumping-off points to find other relevant sources.

      In history we read books and created essays over them. I got insight into what historians thought.

    4. Over time, more in-depth exploration and analysis of the event often comes from government studies and scholarly journal articles.

      I agree I got to learn about hands on primary resources in academic journals.

    5. In college assignments, it's important to understand what's expected of you. Take some time to critically read through the assignment instructions and look for details

      I agree it is important to understand what the professor is asking from you.

    6. travelling in circles and retracing your steps. But it’s worth it! This uneasy feeling is necessary in order to get you moving on the road to research victory and finding those perfect pieces of information

      There have been many times where I get stuck or confused during research.

    7. The purpose of research should extend beyond your college classes. We as humans are naturally curious and research helps us make sense of our world.

      I agree research should make your brain think and ask new questions.

    8. It’s rare that you’ll start a search from absolute zero. Most of the time you’ve at least heard something about the topic, even if it is just a brief reference in a news story, lecture, or reading.

      Most topics I research into I have a understanding about what they are but, I always find something new.

    9. Because of the widely varying quality of new information, evaluation is also a key element of information literacy, and will be addressed in future weeks.

      finding out new information can help with future assignments.

    10. The scale of information available varies according to topic, but in general it’s safe to say that there is more information accessible now than ever before.

      Online textbooks and AI technology has advanced this privilege in research.

    11. One of the most important things you can do when starting to research a topic is to scan the existing information landscape to find out what is already out there.

      I agree already knowing certain information is beneficial to research.

    12. One of the first things you need to do when beginning any information-based project is to identify your personal need for that information. This may seem obvious, but it is

      I think the basics is always important you need to know what you are researching about and, create research on those specific topics.

    1. When one inquires what these interests or objectivesare, one confronts a long-standing debate between what StanleyHoffmann (1973) called the classiques and the modernes. Theformer, mainly political realists, argue that national security andpower have been in the past and continue to be in the presentthe primary objectives of states. The latter counter that, how-ever true this may have been in the past, attaining domesticeconomic stability and ensuring the welfare of the populace havebecome the foremost objectives of states in the contemporaryworl

      classiques = realism, national security interest modernes = liberalism, $$$$ interest

    2. he state may be conceived as a coalition of coalitions whoseobjectives and interests result from the powers and bargainingamong the several coalitions composing the larger society andpolitical elite. In the language of Brian Barry (1976, p. 159),collective choice and determination of political objectives arecoalition processes (Cyert and March, 1963, p. 28)

      coalition = individuals joined together with common interest state = coalition of coalitions from power/bargaining

    3. . Throughout history, in fact, states and political organiza-tions have varied greatly: tribes, empires, fiefdoms, city-states,etc. The nation-state in historical terms is a rather recent arrival;its success has been due to a peculiar set of historical circum-stances, and there is no guarantee that these conditions will con-tinue into the future

      nation-state

    4. However, the state is the principal actor in that the nature of thestate and the pattern of relations among states are the mostimportant determinants of the character of international relationsat any given momen

      state = main character

    5. If the state is to protect its citizens and their rights, and in theabsence of any higher authority and in a competitive state sys-tem, the state must be "self-regarding" and must look on allother states as potential threats

      anarchy = fear (realism)

    6. These internal and external functions of the state and theultimate nature of its authority mean that it is the principal actorin the international system. The state is sovereign in that it mustanswer to no higher authority in the international sphere. Italone defines and protects the rights of individuals and group

      state = princpal actor & sovereign

    7. Within the territory it encom-passes the state exercises a monopoly of the legitimate use offorce and embodies the idea that everyone in that territory issubject to the same law or set of rules.

      monopoly on force

    8. The delineation of property rights is necessary if any society isto operate effectively; property rights function by conveying"the right to benefit or harm oneself or others. Harming a com-petitor by producing superior products may be permitted, whileshooting him may not. A man may be permitted to benefit him-self by shooting an intruder but be prohibited from selling belowa price floor" (Demsetz, 1967, p. 347). Thus the nature anddistribution of property rights determine which individuals willbe most benefited and which will pay the most costs with respectto the functioning of different types of social institutions. For thisreason the basic domestic function of the state is to define andprotect the property rights of individuals and groups.

      Property rights are rules that say what people are allowed to do with stuff—like things they own or control.

      These rules have to be clear so everyone knows what’s okay and what’s not. Without rules, society can’t work properly.

      Some things are allowed, some aren’t:

      You can compete with someone by making better toys.

      You cannot hurt someone by shooting them.

      You can defend yourself if someone breaks into your house.

      You cannot break certain rules about selling things for too cheap.

      Who gets helped and who gets hurt depends on how these rules are made.

      Because of that, a main job of the government is to make the rules about property and keep them fair, so people can live and work together without constant fighting.

      Basically: clear rules about stuff = society works, and the government makes sure the rules are followed.

    9. delineation

      Delineation generally means the act of describing, portraying, or outlining something with precision. It can refer to:

      Literal/visual sense: The drawing or outlining of the edges or details of something. Example: “The map shows the delineation of the city boundaries.”

      Figurative/abstract sense: A clear description or explanation of an idea, concept, or argument. Example: “The professor’s delineation of the theory made it easy to understand.”

      It’s basically about making something clear, distinct, and well-defined.

    10. The absolute mon-arch or contemporary politician has personal objectives he seeksto achieve, the primary one being to maintain himself in offic

      survivorship

    11. Principally through its definition and enforcement ofproperty rights the state protects the welfare of its citizensagainst the actions of other individuals and states and also pro-vides a basis for the resolution of disputes

      state = property protection (sounds like locke)

    12. The theory of the state that we shall use in this study is thatthe state is "an organization that provides protection and [wel-fare] . . . in return for revenue"

      state is a protection racket lol

    13. Although resolution of a crisis through peacefuladjustment of the systemic disequilibrium is possible, the princi-pal mechanism of change throughout history has been war, orwhat we shall call hegemonic war (i.e., a war that determineswhich state or states will be dominant and will govern the sys-tem). The peace settlement following such a hegemonic strugglereorders the political, territorial, and other bases of the system.Thus the cycle of change is completed in that hegemonic warand the peace settlement create a new status quo and equilib-rium reflecting the redistribution of power in the system and theother components of the system.

      hegemonic war & cycle

    14. However, the most destabilizing factoris the tendency in an international system for the powers ofmember states to change at different rates because of political,economic, and technological developments. In time, the differen-tial growth in power of the various states in the system causes afundamental redistribution of power in the system

      !!! power shift

    15. They do not describe the actual deci-sion processes of statesmen, but as in the case of economic the-ory, actors are assumed to behave as if they were guided by sucha set of cost/benefit calculation

      cost/benefit

    16. 4 Once an equilibrium between the costs and benefits of furtherchange and expansion is reached, the tendency is for the economiccosts of maintaining the status quo to rise faster than the economiccapacity to support the status quo.5 If the disequilibrium in the international system is not resolved,then the system will be changed, and a new equilibrium reflectingthe redistribution of power will be established

      more framework

    17. A FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING INTERNATIONALPOLITICAL CHANGEThe conceptualization of international political change to be pre-sented in this book rests on a set of assumptions regarding thebehavior of states:1 An international system is stable (i.e., in a state of equilibrium) if nostate believes it profitable to attempt to change the system.2 A state will attempt to change the international system if the ex-pected benefits exceed the expected costs (i.e., if there is an ex-pected net gain).3 A state will seek to change the international system through territo-rial, political, and economic expansion until the marginal costs offurther change are equal to or greater than the marginal benefit

      framework

    18. e argument of this book is that an international system is estab-lished for the same reason that any social or political system iscreated; actors enter social relations and create social structures inorder to advance particular sets of political, economic, or othertypes of interests.

    1. the sharing of fake news or using it to support an argument diminishes your standing and credibility among your friends, peers, and colleagues.

      I have used this in highschool when people were spreading fake rumors about my friends. It helped me out because not only did I support my friends but I may have changed how there bullies talk about others in negative ways.

    2. We have seen misinformation and fake news threaten democracy (political mistrust) and even threaten public health (COVID-19 crisis).

      My history textbook explains this crisis as the worst epidemic to hit America and, that thousands of bodies were dead. I think they over exaggerated this a lot.

    3. hat I thought were some of the best sources so you can get a well-rounded picture of misinformation and fake news

    1. . It is not sur-prising that International Relations has tended to be discussed in staticterms, and that stability has tended to be interpreted in terms of themaintenance of the status quo.

    1. Many believe that there was sufficient evidence to predict that Loughner was a seriously disturbed and potentially dangerous young man.

      Many believe there was clear evidence that Loughner was deeply disturbed and potentially dangerous. His troubling behavior only was more obvious after high school (read earlier in my the chapter) but once he reached adulthood, it became much harder for others to step in and have him committed for treatment against his will. The fact that police were called several times without any lasting intervention shows how poorly the system handles serious mental health problems. Barriers such as the strict rules for involuntary treatment, the high cost of care, and the lack of resources often leave families and schools with few real options. At the same time, people with severe mental illness may refuse help, making it even more difficult to get them the support they need. Altogether, these challenges show how warning signs can be noticed again and again without leading to meaningful action or prevention. How can a system be redesigned to better balance individual rights with the urgent need for intervention when someone poses a clear risk to themselves or others?

    2. Research points to a biological basis for this disorder, with vulnerability to schizophrenia exacerbated by marijuana use

      The research on marijuana use and schizophrenia illustrates this perfectly. A person may have a genetic or biological vulnerability, such as dopamine dysregulation or a family history of schizophrenia, but marijuana use can act as an environmental trigger that increases the likelihood of symptoms emerging. This makes me reflect on how “choice” and “risk” are not the same for everyone (what may be harmless for one person could be life-altering for another.) I also think this issue is often overlooked, especially because marijuana is widely used recreationally and is often perceived as a ‘lesser’ or a safer substance compared to others. How can public health efforts balance education about marijuana risks while avoiding stigma toward individuals already vulnerable to mental health disorders?

    1. Strong scientific theories set up gambles. A theory should lead to hypotheses that, when tested, could fail to support the theory—in other words, falsifiability is a characteristic of good theories (Popper, 1963).

      I find it interesting that Harlow was willing to take a big gamble with the research that he decided to do. This is interesting to me because, personally, when I decide to take on research, it’s because I usually have an idea of what the conclusion will be. However, I do know that it isn’t unusual for things to go the opposite of the way they were planned. Why do we tend to take the safer route when doing things?

    2. In setting up this experiment, Harlow purposely created a situation that might prove his theory wrong.

      The author says that Harlow purposely designed his experiment in a way that may prove his theory wrong, and this challenged my thoughts about research. If I were to conduct an experiment, I would likely design it in a way that would prove my hypothesis correct. As humans, we usually prefer to be right and don't like to challenge our own beliefs or opinions. However, in psychology it is important to not just look for the answer that you believe is correct, but the solution that is actually true. Why are some other reasons researchers may shy away from designing experiments that may result in them being incorrect? As future psychologists, how can we reframe our mindset from always having to be right to seeking truth no matter the result?

    3. The idea is that when teens hear about how tough it is in prison, they will be scared into the “straight,” law-abiding life. The program makes intuitive sense, and your employer is considering a partnership between the residents of your detention center and the state prison system.

      The “Scared Straight” program assumes that exposing teens to violence will keep them out of trouble, but research methods show why we can’t just trust intuition. Studies using control groups found that kids who went through these programs often became more likely to commit crimes. This shows that exposure to violence isn’t a healthy deterrent, it can actually model aggression and harm development. Being a good consumer of research means valuing evidence over gut feelings. What kinds of research methods are most effective for testing whether interventions truly help or harm children?

    4. Instead, the theory-data cycle is like a gamble: Researchers place a public bet in advance that the study will come out in favor of the theory. They are willing to risk being wrong every time they collect data.

      In the text it states "They are willing to risk being wrong every time they collect data". Upon reading about the theory data cycle It immediately clicks in my head that I use this cycle probably every day whether it was thinking of a plan to get my mom to say yes to something or if it was being used in an actual science class. I got the urge to look up on google and see if "All" scientist use this cycle when trying to be a producer of researcher, to my surprise it says No..What other ways (and how) are they doing things with out going through numerous trials and errors?

    1. One way to characterize the Keynesian approach (see below) is that it gives almost exclusiveimportance to the first-round effect by putting primary emphasis on flows of spending rather thanon stocks of assets

      it's important to assess when is the money spent when is issued

    2. "The issues of a Government paper, evenwhen not permanent, will raise prices; because Governments usually issue their paper inpurchases for consumption. If issued to pay off a portion of the national debt, we believe theywould have no effect"

      interesting. if money was issued to pay debt, money would probably have no effect

    3. In this respect the correct analogy is with the demand for, say,land, which, like money, derives its value from the flow of services it renders but has a purchaseprice and not merely a rental value.

      is he saying that money doesn't have inherent value?

    1. Reification means treating something abstract (like an idea, relationship, or social construct) as if it were a concrete, real, physical thing.

      Example: talking about “the economy” as if it acts on its own (“the economy wants…,” “the market decided…”) is reification, because the economy is actually just the sum of human actions, not an independent being.

    2. Politics tends to deal in abstractions — instead of focusing only on actual people, political scientists often talk about “the state,” “society,” “the nation,” “the community,” etc. Those are abstractions made up of people, but not the people themselves. This “progressive abstraction” moves farther away from the concrete human substance of politics.

      Ecology, by contrast, is grounded in concrete organisms. In ecology, the things that can be “environed” (placed in an environment, affected by it, interacting with it) are living beings — individual organisms or populations. Abstractions like “the forest” or “the biosphere” ultimately still point back to organisms.

      So the problem is: when you import ecological concepts into political science (for example, saying “the political community is environed by…”), you’re stretching the metaphor. An individual person can be environed, but “a nation” or “a community” is not itself a living organism. As you move from concrete persons to collective abstractions, you blur the link between ecological meaning and political meaning.

    3. Gestalt is a German word meaning “shape” or “form”, used in psychology and philosophy to describe a concept where the whole is perceived as more than just the sum of its parts.

      Holistic comprehension of geographic regions means understanding a region as an integrated whole, rather than just as a collection of separate features.

    4. environed organism - Environed is the past tense/past participle of environ, meaning surrounded, enclosed, or encircled by something.

      A biotic community is the group of interacting living organisms (plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms, etc.) that occupy a particular area and are linked together through relationships like predation, competition, and symbiosis.

    1. The peers and units wherethese nurses reside should also be viewed as affected by thenurses’ SU. Nurses’ SU must be in the context of a systemsperspective; that is, in identification of impaired nurses,policies that support rapid intervention and support, includ-ing removal or limited practice, debriefing of peers andcolleagues and open discussions of the impact to the unit,and diligent efforts to create an environment where nursingcare is rendered with appropriate staffing, prevention ofworkplace violence, and supportive leadership

      This part of the study answers the question, "How does the study outcome affect future research or clinical practice?" It emphasizes a systems-based approach to addressing nurses' substance use, highlighting the need for policies that support early intervention, peer support, and open discussion of unit impact. It suggests future research and clinical practice should focus on organizational factors like staffing, leadership, and workplace safety to prevent and manage impairment effectively.

    1. In 1927, a psychologist named Truman Lee Kelley identified a curious problem that continues to plague educational research nearly a century later. He called it the "jangle fallacy": the tendency to assume that two things are fundamentally different simply because they have different names. It's the conceptual cousin of the "jingle fallacy," where we mistakenly believe two things are identical because they share the same label.

      Well, I'm about to become absolutely insufferable about these terms.

    1. The first part of the definition we will unpack deals with knowledge. The cognitive elements of competence include knowing how to do something and understanding why things are done the way they are

      This idea is interesting to me because it reminds me of the nature and nature part of psychology. A large portion of how we learn is done through watching others from our environment. We watch others communicate and watch how things are done, which later allows us to apply what we have seen when in the same situation.

    1. Communication is a process that involves an interchange of verbal and/or nonverbal messages within a continuous and dynamic sequence of events

      I like the idea of communication within continuous dynamic sequences because it makes me think of music. When I listen to certain songs, they make me feel a certain way and I can really relate to how the artist was feeling. They are communicating through their music to let others know how they are feeling and that's pretty cool.

    1. In this section, we review research thatsuggests that, whereas massing practice might promoterapid performance gains during training, distributingpractice facilitates long-term retention of that skill.

      Although massed practice may be useful for understanding material within a limited duration (short term memory), retention is not as effective using this method compared to distributive learning. This is why cramming material before a test is not the most effective way to actually retain the information learned from that short studying period, whereas distributive practice allows for breaks between practice to strengthen retention and retrieval (practice makes perfect!) We should think of studying strategies that discourage cramming in learning.

    1. The interaction model of communication describes communication as a process in which participants alternate positions as sender and receiver and generate meaning by sending messages and receiving feedback within physical and psychological contexts

      The interaction model of communication is a much different way to think about communication rather than the linear, one-way process. Having feedback in a conversation with others can be effective and show understanding between two people, but when someone just tells another person to do something it can really change the effects of the conversation., The things I can say and how I give feedback to others can really change the outcome of a conversation.

    1. While such transactions were initially tracked with actual objects that symbolized an amount—for example, five pebbles represented five measures of grain—symbols, likely carved into clay, later served as the primary m

      Humans in the beginning were very similar to monkeys, whereas we didn't have a language to communicate but were able to comprehend how many rocks we had. I find it very interesting that in the beginning we were unable to effectively communicate; however, we managed to create ways to write or record things. Very similar to today, just back then we were much less advanced.

    1. The meeting of Open Pedagogy and OER is evidence in this book; students-as-creators and teachers-as-facilitators are coming together throughout the world to answer the question of what education is and what it can be.

      I like the idea of future students being able to expand on Open Pedagogy. Future students can have different perspectives on the topics. Another thing is that as time passes definitions change.

    1. In the video below, watch how the teacher’s posture, facial expressions, and tone change based upon her interactions with her students and her perceived objectives.

      I have never had a teacher who greated us at the door in this way. Has anyone else? I do find it refreshing because it lets the students know she cares about them by greeting them by name. I feel as if it also teaches students how to maintain eye contact in social situations and how to properly greet people. Therefore, it's helping students learn social aspects that are beneficial to them.

    2. Words chosen carefully Symmetrical body posture Standing up straight Steady eye contact Chin up Hands clasped or behind back; simple, controlled hand gestures

      I was in 4H all throughout my years in school and this is something that they taught me when giving speeches. I think that practicing it does help, so you don't have to think too much about it, and it begins to come naturally. My best advice would be to practice in front of family/friends and in front of the mirror. I have practiced my teacher voice because I wanted to envision myself as a teacher and consider whether I thought it was something that I could do.

    3. Do Not Engage: Don’t stray, stay focused on the current issue

      I feel like this is something that I will have to work on. It's easy to get distracted, and I want to encourage students to think critically about history. Is there a way to assure students that you will look into topics during discussions without engaging? Would you just acknowledge their statement, make a note, and keep lecturing?

    1. Marshall McLuhan, the great 20th Century Canadian Philosopher of Media, wasn't just prescient—he was prophetic. His declaration that "the medium is the message" didn't merely define 20th-century media theory; it has become the skeleton key to understanding our AI-transformed future. In McLuhan's world, form overshadowed content. In our world, AI is obliterating the boundaries between forms altogether.Welcome to the age of Liquid Content—where information flows seamlessly between mediums, transforming its shape while preserving its essence. What was once fixed—text, audio, video—now exists in a state of perpetual potential, ready to materialize in whatever form serves the moment.

      two AI x not y phrases and… what seems like a contradiction without acknowledgement? the shape is the essence!

    1. Although the statement was made halfway around the world away from the homelands of Chicanx and Latinx communities, it and the larger struggle for justice and decolonization resonate with the historical roots of Chicanx and Latinx studies, along with the larger field of ethnic studies

      To me this means that there are a lot of struggles still within the Latin community

    1. The medieval Church taught that salvation involved both grace (given through the sacraments) and human cooperation (good works, virtue, piety).

      They distinguished between:

      Congruous merit (meritum de congruo) → imperfect merit, where God rewards your effort out of generosity, not obligation.

      Condign merit (meritum de condigno) → true, “fitting” merit, where the believer’s good works—done in grace—were considered worthy of a reward from God.

      Alongside this, there was a strong emphasis on habitus caritatis (the habit of charity/love in the soul). The idea was that you had to cultivate a certain level of infused grace and goodness of heart before you could be in a state of justification and ultimately be saved.

    1. Procedures serve the practical purpose of making activities and tasks flow smoothly.

      This is something I can wholeheartedly get behind. When I was interning last fall my cooperating teacher had a set procedure for her kids to follow each day they came into class. They would come in, sit at their desk, and they would look to the smart board for what to get started on. She told me that this routine continued even when she had to have a sub for the day. Keeping the same routine each day really did help her class flow easily day by day and made the subs life easier when she had to have one. Additionally, we had to cover another teachers class one day during her planning period and you could just tell that these students had no routine whatsoever.

    2. do not care about the impact of the consequence, then the chances of the consequence changing behavior decrease

      This is something I witnessed first hand a few times when I was interning at Union Freshman Academy last fall, there were a couple of students that I heard tell my cooperating teacher they were going to drop out anyways so the detentions they would get for being tardy, the zeros on tests and assignments, all of that didn't mean anything to them.

    3. nvolve students in the “unpacking” of the norms when discussing why they are necessary

      I never thought about this but I like this as well. This also helps to gauge how the mindset of the class is as well.

    4. or by the teacher with input from students

      I think this is something I'll be taking with me into my future classrooms because it isn't something I ever thought about before we talked about it in class. Kids and teenagers are more apt to do what their friends are doing or what their friends think is best, and if we come up with rules and norms as an entire class which includes aforementioned friends they'll feel more likely to listen and abide by them. When the rules are just from the teacher some of the more rebellious teens could feel the need to push the limit some. It could also help by bringing insight into what they may or may not understand or already abide by at home.

    5. Most education experts recommend a small number of general, positively stated, behavior-based rules

      This is definitely something that is useful for teachers to remember. If you put too many rules in place the students will get overwhelmed and probably not remember every single one, setting them up for failure. If they are listed with a negative tone of voice they may feel compelled to rebel simply because they feel the teacher is disrespecting them, or maybe some students just don't like to be told what to do like that.

    6. are specific ways of doing common, repeated classroom tasks or activities. Examples include che

      Routines or procedures is a great tool to give student stability in the classroom, but also giving them a chance to have a free time gives them trust and safe in the classroom. As they deserve it for the hard work they've done in class.

    7. Tied to the needs of students. Some students are more intrinsically motivated than others and require systems to support their choices. 3 Types: tangible, social, and activity

      I think if a student can be intrinsically motivated, I will continued to through to support my students more in classroom activities so they can engage more in the content and reinforcing them in the classroom values.

    1. There are four cards, a simple rule, and all you've got to do is to work out which cards you need to turn over to see if the rule has been broken. That's got to be easy, right? Well maybe, but the Wason Selection Task, as it is called, is one of the most oft repeated tests of logical reasoning in the world of experimental psychology. So let's see how you do.

      Ah, I want to send people this but also comment...

    1. Closes the loop faster → You don’t wait months for evaluation. Prevents drift → Every day/week forces a checkpoint. Shapes behavior → You optimize for progress under time instead of perfect completeness.

      this is gold

    2. Each week is a reward event. It shapes your trajectory forward, instead of leaving you wandering until the “final boss” (PhD defense).

      this is gold

    3. 🔹 2. Daily Micro-Outputs as Rewards Reward Rule: +1 if by end of day you capture something tangible (a new cluster, a new theme, or one updated paragraph of outline). Penalty Rule: 0 if you only consumed/collected without producing. 👉 This ensures every day has a checkpoint. Even if small, it signals whether the pipeline is alive.

      important

    4. That is feedback about the weak link in your pipeline: maybe your clustering method is too slow, or you’re over-expanding the input set. Without the deadline, you’d never notice the bottleneck — you’d just keep drifting.

    1. “Quantized” means something like “we made it smaller by rounding off the numbers, which reduces accuracy a bit; it will run on smaller systems but won’t be as good.”  Mathematicians will tell you some gobbledygook about matrices and floating point precision, just say “that’s really interesting” and then act surprised and point behind them and say “look, is that a tensor?” and then run away when they turn their back to you.

      this is so similar to my scenario. So it deserves lots of elaboration. Yes I can only test whether my developed meta research approach is valid or not by using it to develop research question and implementing a project. So it's very delayed. However, if we can use MVO for the process of developing research question and implementation, these can be done rapidly and give the rapid feedback to the meta research approach.

    2. If you reach the deadline and you have something coherent → ✔ that’s feedback that your process worked. If you reach the deadline and you’re still collecting without synthesis → ❌ that’s feedback that your process got stuck, and you must force closure.

      important

    3. Your first synthesis attempt is the feedback resource. If it produces something coherent, that’s your signal to stop collecting and move forward. If it produces obvious holes, those holes tell you precisely what to collect next.

    4. 🔹 D. Time-Bound Feedback Impose a milestone deadline: “If I can’t cluster 15 advices into a draft framework by end of this week, I must ship an MVO draft anyway.” Here, the deadline itself is the feedback resource → it forces closure, telling you that completeness is no longer the metric; progress is.

    14. grubby

      English Explanation:

      The excerpt uses the word "grubby" to describe a state of being dirty or unclean, which symbolizes not just physical dirtiness but also a certain mood or atmosphere. The context suggests a contrast between the festive idea of Christmas and the drab reality the characters face, specifically one character's unkempt room and attitude. The mention of "grubby" highlights a sense of neglect or lack of care, possibly reflecting emotional states alongside physical surroundings, as seen in his reluctance to open curtains.

      Chinese Explanation:

      这段摘录中,“grubby”这个词用来形容一种肮脏或不洁净的状态,象征着不仅是身体上的污垢,也某种心情或气氛的体现。上下文显示,节日的欢乐与角色面临的阴暗现实之间形成了对比,特别是某个角色的凌乱房间和态度。“grubby”的提及强调了忽视或缺乏关心的感觉,可能反映了情感状态与物理环境的关系,正如他不愿打开窗帘所表现的。

    15. gristle

In reality, of course, automats weren’t automated; each required a substantial staff to operate the kitchen and keep refilling those glass-doored compartments. And because automats weren’t all they pretended to be, they were eventually driven out of business by the rise of fast food.

      This is probably doing you a lot worse than you think -- this means that you've kept 7% of the bugs you've found and haven't addressed it for some reason, which is bad!

    4. Developed a functional Java Windows application, generating optimal die faces using an electrostatic force model.

      This sounds cool af, where's the link??

    5. Designed intuitive graphical user interfaces to improve user experience.

      Any theory or practicalness of designing a new GUI? How does that impact the user experience? Anything you've done special to improve the user experience?

    6. Revised, modularized, and updated old code bases to modern code bases.

      What does this mean? I'd probably prefer you to talk about the infrastructure rather than "I wrote new codes and sometimes written stuff over pre-written code"

    7. one software solution utilizing Java, PHP, SQL(MySQL), and RESTful APIreducing user workload by up to 75%

      You mentioned unifying things, but how did this impact the user workload exactly? Did you mean developer workload?

    8. improving students’ understanding of course material

      Hard to measure metrics, but is there a way for you to qualify or quantify the improvement you've done other than directly saying that you've improved it?

    9. Partnered

      Probably a wrong verb to start with -- you don't really "partner up" with the professor. You do work within the curriculum created by the professor so you're more-so a delegate. Maybe we should drop this part and go straight to "Planned and implemented..."

    1. our own careful human interpretation of these feeds will produce knowledge about the mutual influence humans and social media have on one another. The explosion of social networking and Web 2.0 sites since the early 2000’s gives us an opportunity to examine how we do everything—relationships, work, social life, politics, government, and even life itself—through social media.

      Social media is a mutual concept of people creating and influencing content while also being influenced by it themselves.

    2. While social media buzz does not simply mirror society, insights found on social media are not fully disconnected from real social life either. Understanding the nature and design behind the trends and even individual posts across social networking sites (SNS’s) can have great value in understanding networked communication, including the impacts of social networking on social life, and human social influences on SNS’s. One goal of this book is to guide the reader and participant through these complex layers of understanding.

      It's important to understand the connection between social media and real life because some of the feed can have great value in social networking.

    3. Social media metrics and feeds today offer limitless data and indications of what society is expressing today, but the science on new media shows this data is systematically skewed. They may show us only what we want to see, over-represent the ideas of entities who pay more or game the system, under-represent social groundswells developing offline, and leave some people or ideas out altogether. While they may reflect some of what people are talking about, social media insights can be more like funhouse mirrors than clear reflections.

      Although the internet feeds us with unlimited information, they don't always show us the entirety of what's going on in the world.

    4. are highly critical of Black Lives Matter.

      Although there's statistical evidence of most of America's support for the BLM movement, there's a lot of criticization about the movement online that revolves around a lot of misinformation about George Floyd.

    1. Every city in China has its own local language, but the official language of China is Mandarin. I was born in Chengdu, China, and grew up speaking Sichuanese until I entered elementary school and started learning Mandarin. Then, I immigrated to the United States at the age of 26 to begin systematically learning English. In the US, if I run into a Sichuanese person, we very naturally communicate in Sichuanese. If I meet other Chinese people, we will definitely communicate in Mandarin. In schools, hospitals, and other places, I'm often required to speak English. However, what usually comes to mind first is Mandarin, which I then translate into English and say. This makes me feel hesitant to speak English.

    1. students who have internalized a transactional model of education that has turned students into customers, where the exploration and development of the self is secondary to doing whatever the transaction demands to continue to progress through the system.

      Author suggests that cheating is encouraged by a system where students see school as just a to do list of assignments that need to be finished instead of wanting to engage, learn, and improve

    1. Firebrand British parliamentarian Tony Benn knew a thing or two about power. If we want to hold our leaders to account, he suggested, we should ask the following five questions: “What power do you have? How did you get it? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?”

      these seem worth memorizing
