Innate intelligence

right? Two authors, David Epstein and Malcolm Gladwell, take two different positions on this subject. The author of The Sports Gene, David Epstein, concludes that innate physical ability is an advantage over athletic practice. Malcolm Gladwell, the author of Outliers: The Story of Success, argues that preparation is more important than innate talent. With strong evidence and logical reasoning, Gladwell builds a more convincing argument to support the claim that humans forge their own successful…

mostly European their experiment would become very subject in finding out why and how white people were far superior to everyone else and in some case how Nordic people were better then everyone south of them. Over year everyone of the way they test intelligence was proving wrong and a new way was discover. It was not until Alfred Binet, H.H. Goddard, Lewis M. Terman, and lastly R.M Yerkes. These people used a new way to test intelligent that didn’t involve measure human body parts, but they…

Growing up I never really had a problem when it came to learning. It did not matter what the subject was, I always found a way to learn it. You know at that time of my life, caring about ‘how’ I learned was of no care to me just as long as I received no less than high B as my grade. I recently taken a self-assessment to see what my primary learning style is and the results were unsurprising. At 30% auditory, 35% visual, and 35% for tactile, the self-assessment reveals that I am a…

In CSS101 I began the process of venturing through my mind and I discovered far more about myself than I knew prior, I learned how to exercise my learning style in terms of skill development throughout the course of everyday learning. Learning across the lifespan has created a way for me to understand things in order to gain a deeper knowledge as I take the time necessary to explore a subject. Learning new ways to inform myself through acknowledging and understanding the best order to process…

A classroom challenge I find most difficult would be my Social Welfare class. My instructors style is strictly reading from the slides without visuals or activities to get me involved in the topic. I find this difficult for me because I am a kinaesthetic learner, meaning that I learn best if I am involved in the lecture ( by activities, class discussion, demonstrations, games, etc) Being a kinaesthetic learner I have realized that I am a hands on person. University is challenging for me because…

Plants and Gardening The thematic unit, I’m so excited about and would like to create will be on plants and gardening for preschoolers. There are so many reasons why I chose this particular thematic unit, students and teacher interaction with one another, students will get the experience of learning, through using their fine and gross motor skills as they begin to grow plants and vegetables using their hands and interacting with other students to pick what they…

us that we should live life to the fullest. We should live as if we thought that we were going to die at any moment. However, we should continue to learn as if we will never stop living. This quote tells us to be spontaneous, but yet to keep our intelligence growing. The most important key to live as if I were to die tomorrow is to live with spontaneity. If I was told that I was going to die tomorrow, I would immediately book a plane to anywhere I could. Now, I am not saying that is how we…

So many people have different interpretations of mathematics, in elementary school we learn that if you have 5 apples and your neighbor takes 3 away you are only left with 2. In middle school we were shown that there are 360 degrees in a circle and a numerous variety of rules and theorems that seemed only relevant for that section. We learned about sine, cosine, and tangent, which were chiseled in our brain. In high school we were introduced to things I didn’t know existed, such as derivatives,…

This summer, I interned for Stonegate Mortgage Corporation’s Information Technology Department, located in Carmel, IN. During the duration of my internship I was exposed to things I had not experienced from my prior internship at Pacers Sports and Entertainment, nor from classwork at Butler University. Overall, the experience at Stonegate Mortgage has been a positive one, filled with mistakes I learned from; the primary lesson learned during the internship was that some projects may seem perfect…

When it comes to online learning and learning within a traditional classroom there are many differences. One major difference is the learning face to face which is done in a traditional classroom and online learning being all through email, messages, or chat. Some may argue that face to face learning is much more effective than online learning. However if a person has the discipline to complete all the recommended areas then there shouldn 't be no better way of learning. Another major difference…
