idont mean too bother u but": Student Email and a Call for NetiquetteBy Denise D. Knight and NoralynMasselinkI'm sorry that I am apparently an inconvenience to your precious time, but you are my advisor and I'm pretty sure it is your job to clarify any misunderstandings that I might have… maybe you should reconsider your role as an advisor….I thought communicating with an actual person might be more helpful than trying to search for one particular answer in twenty pages of information.

Continuous Partial Attention?”The Tipping Point”… describes how researchers for Sesame Street determined what parts and how much of the show were actually registering with five-year-old kids. What they discovered was that, when presented with toys …, these children were able to play with toys and remember content from the show just as well as kids who just watched the show.http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2008/03/06/i_dont_multitask.html

My favoriteWisdom of CrowdsquotesMixed by Maarten CannaertsImages: www.sxc.hu– “The wisdom of crowds” was writtenby James Surowiecki

There are four conditions that characterize wise crowds…

1. Diversity of opinion (each person should have some private information, even if it’s just an eccentric interpretation of the known facts)

2. Independence(people’s opinions are not determined by the opinions of those around them)

3. Decentralization(people are able to specialize and draw on local knowledge)

4. Aggregation(some mechanism exists for turning private judgments into a collective decision)
