Good Laboratory Practice

player—who was apparently an amazing musician. He was known to practice hour upon hour every single day. It seemed like he was in the practice rooms working hard during every spare moment of his day. One day my friend and some other students were hanging out in a common area near the practice rooms when this trumpet player walked through. “Man, I’d give my right arm to play as well as he does,” one student quipped. “Yeah, but are you willing to practice as much as he does to get it done?”…

Practice makes perfect, but what type of practice is best when it comes to learning? In a study conducted by Mackay, Morgan, Datta, Chang, & Darzi (2000), it is argued that distributed practice is better than massed practice. Mackay et al. tested the effects of distributed practice and massed practice on 41 participants, split up into three groups. The first group was massed practice, the second group was 20 minutes of distributed practice in five-minute blocks, and the last group was 15 minutes…

Imagine sitting with a group of your closest friends. Girls that have everyday you see each others blood, sweat, and tears. And then they just leave you. That is what happened to me last year. We had just finished choreographing our impressive states kickline when my coach told us to come and sit down. She felt as if we were not practicing like a team that wanted to win. As a competitive person who puts my all into everything, I was immensely disappointed in my team. The captain then spoke up…

For this week’s lab there were two readings. The first was “Hamilton's rule and kin competition: the Kipsigis case” by Monique Borgerhoff Mulder. The second reading was “To give and to give not: The behavioral ecology of human food transfers” by Michael Gurven. The first reading, discussed how nepotism is shown more often when animals have more resources. This makes sense because if you have no resources, then you have nothing to give through nepotism. For example, a wealthy business owner has…

Methods of training are split into either cognitive or behavioral. Behavioral techniques let the trainees practice and to conduct in a genuine or re-enacted style. They also provoke training through behaviour which is best for aptitude advancement and the state of mind change. These strategies are known as on-the-job training.

I have had the please of volunteering many times in a classroom at Platte County Elementary School. When I was in high school I tutored a first grade classroom, so I went back to the same teacher and she was more than willing to answer some of the questions that I had and it was great to see that her classroom is still functioning the exact same way it was eight years ago. This only means that the way she manages her classroom must be very effective. This was a great opportunity for me to…

some practices. When he did show up to practices, to me, something seemed a bit off. Terry became less talkative and distant from his teammates. It was very uncharacteristic of him. I tried asking him how he was doing and if anything was bothering him. He denied anything was wrong. A couple weeks later Terry showed up to practice with some unusually placed purple and blue bruises on his upper right arm. Red flags immediately went off in my mind. I knew something was going on. After practice I…

to let my team down. But like they say, all good things have to come to an end at some point. On August third, all the joy became stress and devastation. Fall camp in the football world is considered the gut wrenching part of the season. There is nothing like waking up at five in…

and judgmental. The lack of knowledge of how to manage ones thoughts and decision making can as result affect life in general. The first time I practiced mindfulness I was not familiar with such method. However, I found my thoughts to drift as I practice how to be mindful. During a mindful checking my thoughts consisted in school, work, my Lsat exam and how I was going to make time to enjoy myself. The amount of stress at that time preoccupied me, but after I practiced mindful checking I felt…
