For example, Weiner recalls a UCLA psychologist Robert Bjork’s study of how students learn, saying “When we break a sweat, we learn more. Bjork called this phenomenon ‘desirable difficulty’(Weiner).” Although this evidence used by Weiner is not recent, it is an expert’s opinion that validates his claim. On the more recent side, Weiner also mentions a 2014 study on note-taking conducted by…

Creon’s Musical Memoir Song 1: “I’m the Man” - Aloe Blacc “It's time to do what must be done be a king when kingdom comes…” “Go ahead and tell everybody, I'm the man…” These lines from Aloe Blacc’s, “I’m the Man” remind of Creon in many ways. One way it fits Creon is because he has to become king of Thebes after Polyneices and Eteocles kill each other. Another reason it reminds me of him is also the cocky attitude he has because he wants everyone to know who’s in charge. When it says, “ It’s…

Benefits & challenges to gamification. Scholars continue to search for the validation of gamification and how the positive principles of gamified frameworks may be applied to education as possible alternatives to the traditional curriculum (Erenli, 2013; Hamari et al., 2014; McGonigal, 2011a). From those who advocate the return to a more engaged school experience often encountered in early elementary education (Johnson, 2013), to those who promote higher order engagement through games concepts…

During my assignment I will be looking at a reflective, critised evaluation of the four key requirements for mentorship practice. Which will include the theories and methods, the different learning styles the environment where a student is placed and the failing student. A mentor is “ A registrant who has met the standards for mentors and who facilitates learning, and supervises and assesses students in practice settings” (NMC, 2008,page44). Even though this is the definition used by the nursing…

As a result of substantial research into complex human memory mechanisms; particularly within the last thirty years, the phenomenon of directed forgetting has been widely applied to both counselling professions; for suppression of previously traumatic events and also in general everyday use; as the ability to forget previous, unrequired information. Directed forgetting can be defined as an overall reduction in long-term memory, resulting from human demand to forget previously presented…

thoughts of my heart-- / though often wretched, bereft of my homeland” (19-20). This suppression deepens the anguish and desolation expressed by the speaker; each line contributes to the establishment of the character that will ultimately change (Bjork, 316-17). Though the moods of the poems differ, their purpose is the same. After reading both poems, a reflection on these initial lines allows the reader to perceive how the speakers have been altered by the events that they have…

Throughout her career, the pop icon known as Madonna has been both widely influential and wildly controversial. Since her beginnings in the music industry, she has consistently made headlines, drawing the admiration of her most dedicated fans and the attention of curious onlookers. Lucy O’Brien’s book, titled “Madonna: Like an Icon” is an attempt at chronicling the pop singer’s life thus far in a “definitive biography”. This book is an in depth and interesting read on the reasoning and…

As John D Niles said when studying old English poetry the format in which it is presented allows a clearer view of the original intent of that piece. The original manuscript can portray common themes by the position of the texts within it, and the layout of each text on the page also gives vital…

Religion is a set of morals, rules, behaviors and ethics shared by a community that are based on stories about a higher power that serve to guide its followers into a good path and outlook in life. The word religion itself doesn’t have a true meaning for me, it is a set of many words and meanings inside the religious branch. We can define religion by different contexts like ‘what is religion spiritually, politically, personally’, among other forms. “The language of religion has a great variety…
