Home - How To Information Academic Phrasebank – Being Critical As an academic writer, you are expected to be critical of the sources that you use. This essentially means questioning what you read and not necessarily agreeing with it just because the information has been published. Being critical can also mean looking for reasons why we should not just accept something as being correct or true. This can require you to identify problems with a writer’s arguments or methods, or perhaps to refer to other people’s criticisms of these. Constructive criticism goes beyond this by suggesting ways in which a piece of research or writing could be improved.… being against is not enough.

Social Facilitation Social facilitation can be defined as ‘an improvement in performance produced by the mere presence of others’. There are two types of social facilitation: co-action effects and audience effect. Studies on social facilitation concern the extent to which a given piece of an individual's behavior is affected by the real, imagined or implied presence of others. Perhaps the first social psychology laboratory experiment was undertaken in this area by Norman Triplett in 1898. In his research on the speed records of cyclists, he noticed that racing against each other rather than against the clock alone increased the cyclists' speeds. There were two conditions: the child alone and children in pairs but working alone. Triplett's experiments demonstrate the co-action effect, a phenomenon whereby increased task performance comes about by the mere presence of others doing the same task. References Chen, S. Cottrell, N. Dashiell, J. Pessin, J. (1933). PLATT, J. Travis, L. Triplett, N. (1898). McLeod, S.
Produits | LIGHT STAX Officiel After years of intensive analysis, Google discovers the key to good teamwork is being nice — Quartz When Fox News’ Chris Wallace asked Donald Trump about his thoughts on climate change, the president-elect responded, “Nobody really knows. Look, I’m somebody that gets it, and nobody really knows. It’s not something that’s so hard and fast.” He’s not alone; according to Pew Research less than half (48%) of all American adults believe that the Earth is warming mostly due to human activity. They are wrong, though, and 2016 was the year that news from around the world made climate change undeniable to anyone paying attention. A record amount of coral perished in the Great Barrier Reef Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, a 1,430-mile-long world heritage site visible from space, suffered the largest loss of corals ever recorded this year. The loss is concentrated in the northern part of the reef, considered the most pristine. The bleaching event was due to higher-than-usual water temperatures in 2015 and 2016, caused by an El Niño event and global climate change. And of course…it got hotter

International Coach Federation France 9 Much-Needed Reminders That Humans Are Inherently Good | The Huffington Post House on Mars People want to go to Mars. One million people can live on Mars in 2060. Elon Musk says this. People make a model of a house. Houses like this can be on Mars. You can see the model in Greenwich, London. The air inside the house is good. People on Mars can have 3D printers. Difficult words: model (something which looks real, but is not), atmosphere (the air around a planet), humid (if the atmosphere is humid, there is a lot of water in it). You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
