Informed argument is one of the most important features of academic writing. When you start writing your academic paper, first thing you naturally think of is what your subject will be and what you know on the subject. You should be aware that different writing assignments require different level of your knowledge on the topic.

What makes a professional basketball player different from you? Ever wondered how they make fewer mistakes under pressure and in money-time? The answer is experience and game intelligence. Do you need to practice for years in order to get that "experience" and "game intelligence"? Not necessarily - this article reveals a different way… Professional players are able to perform their great basketball moves under intense pressure and in money-time situations thanks to their ability to read the court quickly, understand tactics, predict situations before they happen and make the right decisions in fractions of seconds.

Online communities depend upon the commitment and voluntary participation of their members. Community design - site navigation, community structure and features, and organizational policies - is critical in this regard. Community design affects how people can interact, the information they receive about one another and the community, and how they can participate in community activities. We argue that the constraints and opportunities inherent in online community design influence how people become attached to the community and whether they are willing to expend effort on its behalf. We examine two theories of group attachment and link these theories with design decisions for online communities. Common identity theory makes predictions about the causes and consequences of people's attachment to the group as a whole. Common bond theory makes predictions about the causes and consequences of people's attachment to individual group members. We review causes of common identity and common bond, and show how they result in different kinds of attachment and group outcomes. We then show how design decisions, such as those focused on recruiting newcomers versus retaining existing members, constraining or promoting off-topic discussion, and limiting group size or allowing uncontrolled growth, can lead to common identity or interpersonal bonds among community members, and consequently to different levels and forms of community participation by those so motivated.

After writing my wikipedia article on cramming, I thought this article illustrated the differences of American and Chinese schooling very accurately. This article describes the gao kao, or high test, that serves as the only enterence method into Chinese universities. Many students study upwards of 16 hours a day in preparation for this exam, which lasts 9 hours and is only given once a year. The article also demonstrates the key differences in educational theory and questions whether memorization is an effective learning tool.

This article outlines the main results and methodological challenges of a large-scale survey on actual digital skills. A test covering three main dimensions of digital literacy (theoretical, operational and evaluation skills) was administered to a random sample of 65 third-year high school classes, producing data on 980 students. Items include knowledge questions, situation-based questions and tasks to be performed online. A Rasch-type model was used to score the results. In agreement with the literature, the sample performed better in operational skills, while showing a particularly poor performance regarding evaluation skills (although for this dimension the test shows reliability issues). Through a robust regression analysis we investigate if a skills divide based on ascriptive differences, gender and family cultural background, exists among the students. It emerges that cultural background has a significant effect, which is stronger on operational skills, while gender shows a more definite impact on theoretical knowledge.

While the Internet is a text-saturated world, reading online screens tends to be significantly different from reading printed text. This review essay examines literature from a variety of disciplines on the technological, social, behavioural, and neuroscientific impacts that the Internet is having on the practice of reading. A particular focus is given to the reading behaviour of emerging university students, especially within Canada and the United States. A brief overview is provided of the recent transformation of academic libraries into providers of online digital text in addition to printed books and other materials, before looking at research on college students' preferences for print and digital text, and the cognitive neuroscience of reading on screen.

Generally, the battle of both C vs. C++ languages doesn't have any clear winner as these have their pros & cons. Though, we have to think of that C language is a procedural that follows a programming style of step-by-step. Conversely, we have the C++ object-oriented language, which emphases on objects as well as such features as information hiding or inheritance. Moreover, C++ allows developers to follow some procedural programming principles also. To students, we offer assignments help of C & C++ languages with different extents of training, such as universities, secondary schools, bachelors, and also masters. Our projects help of C & C++ programming benefits to the students in attaining the highest scores in their courses. The students have to be profitable for our administrations as well as appreciate the benefits. If you need programming assignment help related to C programming assignment help and C++ programming assignment help, Codeavail experts are available to provide the best solution.

The centrifugal separator working principle is fed tangentially to the cylindrical top of the centrifugal separator to produce rotation. Through the slot in the air inlet chamber, the flow rate in industrial centrifuge is further accelerated. Centrifugal force moves the heavy particles to the side of the barrel. They move down and accumulate in the collection chamber at the bottom of the separator. The deflector at the top of the collection chamber changes the flow direction. No solid liquid moves upward in the vortex and exits through the top of the separator. The separated solids are removed from the collection chamber periodically or continuously. What Is Centrifugation And Where It Is Used? The centrifugal separator is driven by centrifugal technology. Centrifugation uses centrifugal force to separate particles from solution. This process is mainly used to separate two immiscible substances in the solution. Centrifuge is mainly used to separate solid particles from liquid in suspension; or to separate two immiscible liquids with different densities in emulsion (such as separating cream from milk); it can also be used as solid liquid centrifugal separator, such as drying wet clothes with a washing machine; special ultra-fast tube separators can also separate gas mixtures of different densities, such as enrichment and separation of gaseous uranium hexafluoride; Due to the characteristics of different sedimentation speeds in the liquid, some sedimentation centrifuges can also classify solid particles according to density or particle size. The centrifuge separator is widely used in chemical, petroleum, food, pharmaceutical, mineral processing, coal, water treatment and shipbuilding sectors.

There's a lot to unpack about learning analytics - everything from how student data is captured to how it will be used. For all of its promises - and there are many, as evidenced below - the two biggest areas of concern regarding using student data are around issues of privacy, as in who has access to student information and what are the possible negative ways that information could be used, and how student data might be used against educators. Privacy is addressed in this otherwise mostly positive infographic, created by Australia's informED, which takes a crack at explaining all the different aspects. What else would you add to it?

Competing for the US in the cycling was just the start of a successful running career for the legally blind Marla Runyan. She is a teacher, a bestselling author of "No Finish Line: My Life As I See It," a public speaker, a coach, a race director of the Camarillo Half marathon, a philanthropist with Camp Ability, and a mother. Marla plays her different roles, showing us that our conditions do not define who we are.

Based on the premise that formal education is confined to the first two decades or so of a person's life and cannot possibly prepare one for the constancy and rapidity of change, lifelong learning becomes an imperative if each person is to cope with the explosion of knowledge, understand societal differences as they evolve, and adapt to the aging process.

Brain training does not necessarily mean computerized games. Mediation is a great tool to train different parts of the brain.

A classification essay writer is tasked with the job of taking many different types of information and making sense of it and placing it in a proper order.

When gymnasts start training at an early age, they are exposed to various pieces of gymnastics equipment that might seem foreign and unapproachable. All of the gymnastics equipment will seem so large to a person that stands less than four feet tall. By the end of their first year of training though, these same gymnasts will have a very different view of this equipment and feel that a part of them is missing if they miss a day practicing on it.
