In section I learned that in the scientific context, the term theory does not imply uncertainty or lack of testing. Instead, a scientific theory is seen as an explanation of a set of phenomena, because it can range from being untested to extensively tested and widely accepted within the scientific community. The example provided, the theory of evolution by natural selection, is considered a theory not because it is untested, but because it serves as an explanation for the diversity of life on Earth and has gained strong support through scientific research.

How many references will we be assign for each of our research papers?.

When considering the effectiveness of note taking methods, I can relate to it myself because usually I take note using the traditional note taking (which is longhand note note taking), but recently I started using my laptop to take notes and note even long I started noticing that i wasn't performing in same way that I use to. I used to remember most or sometimes even memorize things while taking notes with my hand. The way I processed the information was just different. I don't even know why because I felt like why is it getting different? Is it the transition? something else that I'm not even aware of? It was just different.. So, to sum that up, since I was kind of doing poorly in some of my exams, I changed it and started my traditional note taking, and to be honest soon after restarting it, I came back on track. I'm still asking myself to what might contribute to the superiority of longhand note taking over laptop note taking for learning?

This is so true, I have always been curious about the natural world myself and other which is one of my reason of choosing my major as psychology....

I think this the reason why Karl Popper proposed an alternative approach based on falsification rather than confirmation. because when we saying that all swans are white, confirming this statement would involve finding as many white swans as possible However, with Popper's approach it shows that the statement is scientific only if there is a way to show it is false. In this case, finding a single black swan would falsify the statement). Therefore, we can also say that confirmation alone cannot provide certainty or proof of a theory's validity.

just as I said...

Woww.. this first sentence really stood out for me because not even long ago, some friends and I were having a disagreement over this topic. I feel like there's a lot of stereotypes when it comes to women vs. men When it comes to communication. I think the way we women communicate might be different with men, but not on the quantity. women may be more talkative, while in others, men can dominate the conversation in other topics. so I think it depends.
