I agree with this view because I have a high intelligence in linguistic, but I do not have a very high intelligence in mathematical. I like the way that Gardner split up the intelligences because I do not think that everyone could have a high intelligence in all of the areas. Every person has an intelligence that they are good at and also a weakness that needs worked on(M. Mclean, DQ 2 week 3, February 16th 2013). People can take IQ tests to discover their intelligence but they have to be aware that it could be biased. Logical-Mathematical is where a person will detect patterns, reason, and think logically and your thoughts will have scientific and mathematical reasoning.
I like to think of it as the " oh what the _ _ _ _!" factor (all those reading, theres more than one word to put into those blanks! =P) Its something you don't expect to happen, and it makes you want to keep reading, because now everything has just changed. Whatever the reader had in mind, it's all out the window because now something new just came up. I like surprises in books, much more enjoyable to
Plimpton 322 Questions Question A: I think that Buck’s interpretation was extremely incorrect. He used modern math to find patterns shown in Plimpton 322. He did not take into account if the Babylonian’s had knowledge of the equations that he used. He did find patterns, but it is easy to find patterns in math, especially when using advanced theories. It was as if he was searching for how to plug their math into ours, not the other way around.
I was familiar with the language, but I had never been fully in contact with it. I have always thought of my self as intelligent, but the IQ test score gave me opposite results. Perhaps I have never been good at mathematics, but overall I think I am a good problem solver. This, indeed, helped me in my language learning process a lot, because for example, even if I did not understood the full context of a paragraph, by knowing a few words, I would get the idea of the main concept. My aptitude also helped me, because I like languages.
The criminal justice system relies heavily on eyewitness identification for investigating and prosecuting crimes in that, it may be the only evidence present for identifying criminals in certain cases (Wells & Olson, 2002). The strong weight given to eye witness identifications is nonetheless a matter of concern as it eye witness identifications have been demonstrated to be flawed, even when witness confidence is high. Experience has shown that the convincing and sincere witness can often be mistaken. Memon (2008) explains where eye-witness testimonies have been greatly unreliable; where Jean Charles de Menezes was shot by police as a result of mistaken identity. According to eye-witnesses he was described as suspicious, jumped over a ticket barrier and was wearing a wearing a bulky jack supposedly concealing a device.
John Steinbeck made the plot interesting and the themes behind the work were truly brilliant. The book had its points were they were very descriptive but didn’t keep me interested enough. Reading through those boring parts is completely worth it though. Steinbeck makes the book easy to understand and i like that quality a lot about this book. In my opinion, I got the idea that this book was written more for the workings of the mind but at the same time Steinbeck wanted to make you feel something as you read this.
The chapter about thin slicing was one of the most interesting parts of the book for me, I would have liked it more if he would have elaborated more on this subject. Although he says that it is not a gift , but a central part of what it means to be human I do not necessarily agree with him . I think that there are people who lack this feature or are very weak at this.
Which made me wonder if he was "getting it" I realized I had begun to explain it a little to mathematically, I had taken it away from the fun Jessica Watson and gone in to the usual way of teaching maths . When I took it back to the factors that effected Jessica, and why she may not have always had the same amount of travel each day the interest was ignited. One of the children commented that they couldn't believe that all this fun maths was in the paper. That to me was priceless to see that they were using skills they already had and applying it in a way that was opening up their understanding to the
Most things are made much simpler by just googling and searching for words and stories. I think it changed the way we think, the way we write and the way we read. Everything is more to the point and much less details. We may read more because of text messaging, but I wouldn’t consider hat valuable reading. Opening up a book and reading something , that has substance and draws your interest to turn the next page and read more, is what i would call valuable reading.
It is better to try and fail then to never try at all. I think that this quote means that sometimes in life we have to try things several times before we actually succeed, you might feel humiliated and just want to give up but you don’t you just keep trying. It might not come to you in a day maybe not even a week but eventually if you just keep trying you will succeed, and when you finally do succeed you appreciate success much more than if it had come so easily. I have had to try things over and over before I got it right. For example, math is very hard for me, I need lots of help, so when I am doing math homework I have to always double check my work and when I can look in the back of the book to see if Im correct it helps and I feel really good when I get the correct answer, also when I am at cheer I practice my tumbling, and when I finally land it properly after many attempts it makes me feel so happy and it feels really good to know that I didn't give up, even though it took me many try’s.
