Consider alternative dramatic functions of the role of Irwin OR Mrs Lintott in The History Boys and their contribution to the comic impact of the play, with close reference to a key scene. She is a whip-smart, caring and motherly senior history teacher who is loved by her students. Her students call her tot or tottie which is very ironic because she is a big-bone woman. Together with Irwin and Hector, she makes sure that the boys will pass the exam. She teaches history to the students as what inscribed on the books and hesitatingly lets Irwin shapes the mindset of the boys for she knows that the boys will not get the Oxbridge scholarship if they are still as innocent as the previous semester.
Wolsey’s rise to power was a mixture of both luck and skill. Some things fell very fortunately for Wolsey although there is no doubt he was a very intelligent and highly skilled individual, he was opportunistic in taking all the chances he was given. After all he was Henry’s chief minister for fifteen years which was a very long time. Wolsey was an intelligent man, gaining his first Oxford degree at fifteen years of age. He gained valuable work experience going on administrative and diplomatic missions in the Netherlands and Scotland.
The purpose of assessment in learning is to determine the learner’s level of competence by using a range of different methods. Based on the findings of the assessment and the evidence gathered during the assessment, decisions can then be made by comparing the evidence against the qualification standards. This will determine if the learner’s Competence, Knowledge & Understanding of the subject, and Skills required to carry out required tasks are of a sufficient level to meet the laid down criteria. Assessment should be used to focus on improving and reinforcing learning. It can help a learner understand how they are progressing and what they may need to do to improve their knowledge and progress further.
Learning and Cognition PSY 390 Learning and Cognition Learning is a complex subject to define. It is one of the cognitive processes that have been studied by psychologists extensively. To define learning it is important to look at many events that occur when learning as well as the outcome after they are learned. For the most part, witnessing a change in behavior is the foundation to studying cognitive processes. It is no different when examining learning we find as individuals learn they show a change in behavior.
Human Development and Learning FHT4: 601.2.1-02 Piaget and Vygotsky – Two Approaches to Cognitive Development Jean Piaget and Lev S. Vygotsky are two of the greatest psychologists associated with the development of the human mind. Both developed theories that are still in use today, regarding how the developing minds of children are affected by their environment, and how educators can best use these theories to more effectively instruct their students. This paper will discuss both theories and how they compare. But first, we need to start with a definition. What is Cognitive Development Theory?
This is just one example of the true love depicted by these two special individuals.

Peter Abelard rose in prominence due to his teaching abilities, and innovative thinking. Heloise was the well educated niece of Canon Fulbert. Abelard set his sights on educating Heloise, and offered to be a private tutor to Heloise.
Every parent hopes their child will grow up to be successful, self reliant and respectful. In some instances such as in the short story "Be-ers and Doers" by Budge Wilson you can have a parent pushing you too far to become their idea of the “perfect child". However in the short story "The most powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." by Neil Millar, the author shows us that there are more efficient ways of raising a child. “The most powerful Question a Parent Can Ask...” has a much more respectful approach when it comes to raising
I enjoyed this novel a lot and it would count as one of my all time favorites because of the great use of literary features. By examining the theme and tone in My Sister’s Keeper, I will show how these literary features made the book a highly gripping read. The theme in this novel was the ambiguous line between right and wrong, I liked this feature because it kept the book interesting and suspenseful. On page 358 Judge DeSalvo says “‘The answer is that there is no good answer. So as parents, as doctors, as judges, and as a society, we fumble through and make decisions that allow us to sleep at night—because morals are more important than ethics, and love is more important than law.’” The more Anna must act as Kate’s donor, the more Anna’s quality of life deteriorates because she has to sacrifice many things in order to be a donor, however if she does not then Kate will die.
Vygotsky's theories are constantly compared to that of Piaget's because they are both considered to be constructivists in the field of cognitive development. While there are many differences in their theories in the field of cognitive development, there are some similarities among the way they both, Piaget and Vygotsky, view the nature, or development, of human intelligence. For example, they both believe that students learn by fitting new information together with the information that they already know. They also believe that learning is affected by the context in which an idea is taught, as well as by beliefs and attitudes because the boundaries of cognitive growth are established by societal influences. They also agree that children's speech is an important part of their cognitive development and that it occurs in distinct stages.
