For many years, adults have send them the message success is more important than learning. A research shows that a “grading orientation” and a “learning orientation” can’t not be exist at the same time; this means if a student has a high “grading orientation” most likely that student will have a low “learning orientation” and vice versa. No contemporary researches have shown different result. “Assessment-based grading” or extrinsic motivation tends to diminish intrinsic motivation and by that Kohn means students only care whether if the materials will be on the test, but not “How do I know if that is true?”.

Like I said before, I don't really enjoy writing so I am not the best writer. I do try when it counts. I make sure that at least my sentences are easily read and I try to avoid run-ons.
The examples provided in the text illustrate just how easy it is to be redundant and not realize it. For example, phrases such as “absolutely essential “or “a total of 68 participants” are errors regularly committed on my part. Being able to identify redundancy will be a focus as I work towards more clear and concise writing. As a commitment to reducing bias in writing, the rule I will remember is “recognizing that differences should be mentioned only when relevant” (p. 71). I did not realize how easy it is to unintentionally use bias language.
This is the process operating when the tutor explains the assignment. • Depending on student's previous experiences and expectations, their perceptual filters will interfere with the message that they receive. • Both the tutor's verbal and non-verbal communication – in particular, aspects of paralanguage such as emphasis – will communicate which bits of the instructions are most important. Verbal communication varies in its accessibility for students, as they may have different levels of understanding of the instructions (especially if English is not their first language). Non-verbal language may support or contradict verbal messages.

Teich Major in Success College students need more guidance in how to turn their talents, curiosity, and passions into successful careers. Most guidance offices and books on the subject will be inadequate for these purposes. The writing style is witty and engaging, and the examples are interesting and relevant.

The consequences of Technology Clive Thompson’s “The New Literacy” argues against those that affirm that technology makes students become illiterate; he instead states technology in reality promotes students to write more. Although Gelernter agrees with Thompson in that technology has some benefits that can further expand students knowledge, he disagrees that technology promotes students to write more.
