The article discusses the idea that deliberate practice in a domain increases the chances of becoming
an expert in the field. It provides a significant amount of factual knowledge that comes from fellow
researchers and studies over a period of time to provide information in proving the theoretical
frameworks presented in the article. The article talks about the factors necessary for achieving and
surpassing maximal performance. Also analyzing the ways in which the number of hours and years
practiced over greatly affect the person's capabilities. The article introduces the idea that even very
experienced people in a field can significantly increase their performances through deliberate efforts
when further improvements were required promotions or rewards. ... Show more content on

It then contrasts deliberate practice with activities that tend to occur more frequently in various
domains. The authors then propose a theoretical framework that can explain how expert
performance can be attained through deliberate practice. The minimum consistent time of practice
required for the domains like music, mathematics, tennis, swimming, and long–distance running is
the "10–year rule" or the "10,000 hours rule". This article is significantly better in expanding my

What Are The Responsibilities Of A Commander
Expert Knowledge and Captains
As Captains, officers will be given the opportunity to become company commanders. Command
holds the highest level of responsibility of any duty position in the Army. Commanders are
responsible for millions of dollars of equipment, dozens of lives, and the application of lethal force.
This responsibility is what makes military expertise vitally important to Captains in the United
States Army. Additionally, the responsibilities of Command, if carried out improperly have the
ability to cause significant harm to civil–military relations in this country. Gregory D. Foster
identifies several shortcomings of the civil–military relationship in the rant he published in 2007.

The third field, "political–cultural," summarizes how Army professionals represent themselves
outside of military operations (Army, 2015). Commanders must ensure that they present themselves
in a professional manner outside of the uniform, because, as leaders in the Army, a commander's
actions will be representative of the Army, regardless of whether they are in uniform. The final field
is, "leader–human development," this field centers around creating leaders and Soldiers who are
experts in their fields (Army, 2015). This is the most important field for a commander to understand.
The commander has a large influence on the development of the Soldiers in their care. As such a
commander, must work to become an expert in the three–other field mentioned in chapter five, so
that they can utilize that expertise to create experts within their unit. The development of expert
knowledge within the force can help to remedy the lack of political neutrality Foster (2007)
identified in his paper. By developing experts, and focusing their development using the fields
identified in chapter five commanders have the opportunity to eliminate, what Foster (2007) calls,
"pronounced ideological conservatism and Republican political preference." This political
preference can only stem from the development of Soldiers, by leaders who are not experts in the

Expert Insanity In Court Cases
Courts and the jurors serving in them need to be cautious when listening to expert testimony given,
regarding the mental capabilities or sanity of an individual. This is because it is impossible to go
into the mind of the defendant and know for a fact that they are mentally capable, which causes any
assessment to be in part guesswork. Also the definition of what the judiciary has considered
mentally insane has changed through time and in different legal systems. I argue that expert
testimony in cases regarding mental sanity is not uniform and varies in different instances. As a
society should be trying to make the definitions and assessment of sanity the uniform in all of the
states and United States federal courts for persons to be tried ... Show more content on

This model was intended to be more encompassing than the M'Naughten standard of the past, and

standard because Instead of requiring a defendant to have no understanding of right and wrong, the
A.L.I. standard requires that he lack a "substantial capacity" to understand the right from wrong, and
expands the M'Naughten rule to include an "irresistible impulse" component. Years later the Insanity

My Best Athlete, Musician, Songwriter, And Ceo Of Fizzle Co.
Take a moment and think about your favorite athlete, musician, performer, engineer, or any notable

often place their successes on a pedestal far beyond our reach. It is a widely–accepted excuse their
natural abilities have allowed them to reach their expert–level of knowledge and achievement.
However, modern research is yielding more proof that innate characteristics have less to do with a

They concluded that the amount of time spent in deliberate practice and effort put forth, "predicted
advancing further rounds in final competition far better than any other kind of preparation"
(Duckworth 126), consequently proving that deliberate practice is key to success. Nevertheless,
deliberate practice is less about quantity and more about the quality of practice. Practicing to reach a
certain quota of time spent on the task or following the same routine will yield limited results,
quickly leading to frustration. Repetition of the same motions does not mean excellence; defining
goals and honing in on weaknesses are the only way to avoid stagnation in practice. Deliberate
practice requires a willingness to refine skills and put forth a full effort – something Olympic
swimmer Katie Ledecky has strived to do her entire career. Her coach has described her as someone
who "willingly does more deliberate practice than anyone he's ever met" (Duckworth 136). She
knows how deeply gratifying practice is when done correctly, and has six Olympic medals to prove
it. While expert performers may seem to have reached a godlike level of achievement, their
successes are only attained through the patience required for deliberate practice.

Malcolm Gladwell Ten Thousand Hours Analysis
The 10,000 hour rule in Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers" states that "...ten thousand hours of
practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world class–expert––– in
anything." I disagree with this statement, but if I were to change it so that it was more agreeable, I
would change it so that it would say, "...to most people, ten thousand hours of practice is required to
achieve the possibility of becoming a world class–expert–– in anything." Evidence of astronauts
who became experts under 10,000 hours, comedians' god given natural humor, and evidence of
exceptional soccer players and volleyball players' heights all show why Malcolm Gladwell's "ten
thousand hours" isn't completely true. I added "to most ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

best clubs in the state. They have many different teams ranging in skill level, kind of like the english
professional leagues. From the top, there is the Cardinal team, Black team, White team, and then
red, and so on. The top three teams go to florida to play a national tournament to compete in front of
many college coaches in hopes to get noticed. Skyler, who is looking to play college volleyball,
really wanted to go to the national tournament, practiced way more than the other kids in the club,
worked harder, and played better than everyone, but after tryouts, was placed on the red team all
because she was short.. She was so devastated and hurt that she almost quite volleyball completely.
Gladwell failed to mention roadblocks like physical characteristics when making his claim, also
giving the reader a false sense of power and control. He makes everyone think that as long as they
work hard and practice for 10,000 hours, they will become experts, but as we all know, it is
impossible to "practice" getting tall for 10,000 hours, because it just is not possible. And because
Gladwell failed to mention these unchangeable roadblocks, people like Skyler, who gave everything
110%, paid the price. Overall, I disagree with Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule, but think that it
could be corrected so that it is more accurate. Evidence of exceptional IQ, natural talent, and Height
are great examples of why intellect, and talent help people become experts at what they do without

Expert And Expert Opinion Evidence
Expert evidence is a testimony given by expert witnesses. An expert witness is therefore a person
who is allowed to give their opinion in a court of law because of their knowledge or skill in a
particular subject. They are providing the court with statement of opinion on any matter calling for
their expertise.
There are no specific rules as to who may testify as an expert. Expert witness, however, must have a
sufficient knowledge and practical experience before placing their evidence in the court. The experts
must acquire their expertise in the relevant field by education, training or experience.
It is up to the judge, nonetheless, to decide whether a person is qualified to testify as an expert and

Expert witnesses have the privilege to provide opinion evidence because they possess particular
knowledge or experience in the subject under investigation.
Expert opinion evidence is admissible when it provides the court with information which is likely to
be outside the court's knowledge and experience, such as unfamiliar kinds of machinery, documents,
medical conditions or other relevant field. They are to educate the court about matters which lie
within their specialisation or to convey relevant aspects of their knowledge, skill, or experience to
the court. This is due to the assumption that the court is unfamiliar with such area of knowledge or
skill.
The experts must also offer opinion evidence which is related in their field of expertise, or the
experts have to provide an opinion which is relevant to an issue in the case; otherwise, the opinion
of the expert will be inadmissible.

Mental Health Experts: Client Therapist vs. Court Forensic...
The primary purpose of this paper is to attest that the dual roles that mental health experts assume as
both a therapist for the client and as a forensic expert in court proceedings are not compatible. The
paper also focuses on arguments which confirm the incompatibility of these roles and analyzes past
researches that would support the claim. Specifically, the paper discusses points that explain the
incompatibility, such as the goals, the client, and attitudes towards the client. The paper further
indicates that mental health experts must refrain from assuming dual roles that do not ethically
coincide.

An expert witness also has the privilege to offer opinions. Furthermore, they question examinees
and not patients or clients. He does not form any working relationship with the subjects
(Strasburger, Gutheil, & Brodsky, 1997, p.448). According to Greenberg and Shuman (1997) dual
roles have not been abolished despite the fact that engaging in dual roles has corresponding ethical
principles that may be overlooked. Even mental health professionals themselves, such as
psychologists, are still confused with why the ethical principles exist and how they influence the
behavior of therapists. Greenberg and Shuman (1997) specifically address their article to the dual
roles that psychologists and psychiatrists assume when they provide therapy to a patient–litigant and
also serve as forensic experts in behalf of the patient in litigations. According to Chrisler and
McCreary (2010), the American Psychological Association Code of Ethics and the Committee on
Ethical Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists warn against dual roles of mental health professionals
(p.590) because of the possibility of swaying from objectivity (Greenberg & Shuman, 2007, p.129).

from a therapeutic practice. As Greenberg and Shuman (1997) state, these dual roles are

Forensic Science And The Criminal Justice System Essay
Forensic science and law are often seen as two opposing disciplines; forensic science is often
presumed to be factual and law can be interpreted in multiple ways. Science and law reach
conclusions in different ways which is an issue. Due to these differences, miscommunication is
often the cause for miscarriages of justice. In order to address this problem, people working in the
criminal justice system should have more knowledge of forensic science. There are many factors
that contribute to the lack of understanding between forensic science and the people involved in the
court process. Firstly, the adversarial model will be discussed in relation to how these procedures
prevent effective communication between forensic evidence and lawyers. Secondly, the role that
expert witnesses play in the presentation of scientific evidence and how jurors play a role in
interpreting their evidence, will be considered. Thirdly it will be argued that lawyers and judges lack
adequate knowledge of forensic science that is needed to conduct accurate trials. Lastly, possible
solutions to improve the communication between forensic science and the actors involved in the
criminal justice system. Juries, lawyers and judges should be more educated in understanding

What Do Legal Expert Witnesses Do?
A legal expert witness is a special type of expert witness. Legal expert witnesses are hired by
attorneys who have been accused of some sort of wrongdoing by a former client. These experts
address issues involving fees, the duties of attorneys, and other issues that arise during the legal
representation of clients. When an attorney has been accused of legal malpractice, these experts step
in to help determine whether the attorney committed errors during the representation.
Attorneys accused of malpractice are often stressed and emotional and may not think clearly about
their case. These attorneys may overlook important pieces of evidence that may help their case.
However, with a legal expert witness on the case, the gathering of evidence will go much more
smoothly. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In an expert report, the legal expert witness will lay out the elements of malpractice and how the
attorney's actions did or did not meet these requirements. The witness may also offer testimony
during a deposition on the nature of the claim. After the deposition transcript or the expert report has
been reviewed by opposing counsel, the claim may be settled or even dismissed. These witnesses
understand how to present the strengths and weaknesses of claims to opposing counsel, which may
change their positions in the case.
Legal malpractice claims are often difficult for jurors to fully understand. First, they must determine
that the attorney committed some sort of wrong, and that, had this wrong not been committed, the
outcome of the case would have been better for the client. Next, the jury must determine that the
attorney's actions were inappropriate under the jurisdiction's standards. Legal expert witnesses help
explain these elements to jurors so they are easier to understand.

expansion of social media inside and outside companies has made it possible for aspiring leaders to
hone their craft from the very best experts in many domains via the internet or Knowledge

Subsequently as a leader in the organization, James experienced problems from employees due to

The problems from employees persisted due to James' lack of power and influence in the
organization as a leader. According to Bethel University (2011), "leaders who can reward and punish
followers may have a greater capacity to influence followers than those leaders who cannot use
rewards or punishments" (p. 107). As a leader and manager in the organization, James acceded to
two management positions offered by vice president of marketing, Eric Johnson, without any clarity
of his legitimate, reward, and coercive powers. Collectively, these powers would have revealed
James' authority of position, ability to influence with rewards, and the ability to influence others
with disciplinary action (Bethel University, 2011). James' powers and position in the organization
was realized when he asked Eric for a part–time secretary. And, even more, when he became
infuriated with a supervisor after asking her subordinates (two clerks) for administrative assistance

Aloha. Thank you for that kind introduction and warm reception. It is truly an honor to be here with
you.
Congratulations on what you have accomplished. I'm sure your families, friends, and colleagues are
extremely proud of you. I know I am.
The strength of our Army is our Soldiers. The strength of our Soldiers is our families. We could
never do what we as professionals and Soldiers without their support. When we deploy to serve our
nation and do the profession we called to, the responsibility of raising of the kids, resolving
arguments with the neighbors, fixing the broken refrigerator falls on them. Our families have
sacrificed more than we can ever imagine during these 10 plus years of sustained conflict. Please

Many of you will soon return to the operational Army to lead our nations sons and daughters and I
know you understand the seriousness of our profession and the tasks that await you.
ILE marks a turning point of many officer's careers. ILE tends to be the first school attended almost
exclusively by officers who have chosen to make the profession of arms their career.
As such, I want to leave you with a few thoughts about our profession of arms. First, think about

Testifying Expert Witness
4. I would hire a medical doctor as a testifying expert witness.
Expert witnesses can play various roles, such as a consultant who is a non–testifying expert (FRE

whose testimony on personal knowledge, not opinion(FRE 602). The nature of the Expert's role
during litigation is objective, that is, it is neutral. The expert should help the fact finder reach a
better–informed decision. Expert witnesses must follow the Federal Rules of Evidence, specifically
FRE 702–705. A consulting expert does not testify in court, therefore, they do not need to meet the

Marilyn Amilcar: The Key Principles Of Being An Expert
Introduction
Being an expert takes time, not talent. An expert is someone who possesses special knowledge or a
set of skills in a specific domain (Quick, 2016). There are several key principles that separates
experts from novices. One of the key principles that distinguishes an expert from a novice is the
great deal of content knowledge experts acquire that reflects a deep understanding of their subject
matter (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000). Another key principle is their erratic levels of
flexibility in their approach to finding solutions to situations or problems. The expert I chose to
interview was Marilyn Amilcar. I chose to interview her because she is someone who I consider to
be an expert at what she does. Miss Amilcar has been the in the field of education for five years and
has been an educator for three years. By the School District of Hillsborough County, based on the
teacher rubric, Miss Amilcar has been named highly effective. Miss Amilcar is currently at Shaw

Amilcar how much time would she estimate that she devoted to learning how to teach math. Miss.
Amilcar said that the proportion of time teachers use to teach is one of the key principles of
instruction, so for the past five years since she's been in the field of education, she has devoted
almost 12 to 16 hours a day learning all about math. She attended mathematic interventions and
seminars, she shadowed experienced instructors, and she even bought several math books to practice
math problems and find alternative solutions to solving them. I then asked Miss. Amilcar besides
practice, what else has contributed to her expertise and he said her love for math. She said Willian
Thurston quotes "Mathematics is an art of human understanding" so the reason why she loves math
is because it gives her an understanding of how things work, and having a sense of understanding is

Outliers Malcolm Gladwell Essay
I place my beautiful Howarth XL gently back in its case. In the lights it shines brightly, and if the
lights hit it just right, it sparkles and blinds. The Grenadilla wood at first looks flawless and black in
color, yet as one peers closer a rich brown color becomes visible and the wood grains show it is real.
I close the case, and as I walk from the room I turn off the lights. One hour of practice down,
thousands more to go.
Or so I am told. I recently read a book called Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell.
In it Gladwell tells the stories of successful people and explains how they became successful based
on their circumstances, situations, and cultural legacies. In particular, Gladwell wrote a chapter
about what has become to be known as "The 10,000 Hour Rule." This rule states that after 10,000
hours of practice a person, no matter who they are, will be an expert at that skill. Although I agree
with Gladwell in his knowledge, practice, and a lot of it, is necessary to become an expert in
something, I cannot accept his statement that 10,000 hours ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Gladwell never explicitly mentions the type of practice required to achieve mastery, only how many

Deliberate practice is a term used to describe when a person practices attentively. There is no loss of

What Is Lay Expertise Into The Business Of Experts
It has become increasingly common to see the media and average citizens give their input into the
findings of experts in today's society. This idea of lay expertise inserting itself into the business of
experts has become very controversial recently due to the outcomes of high profile cases. There are
boundaries for both the average person, in their limits of understanding, but also there is a need for
improved interaction between laymen and the elite group of experts. There must be a balance. As set
out by the UN people have the right to freedom of speech, however it is more of a question of
whether they should be challenging the findings of experts. I will be arguing that there needs to be a
balance between the two; non–experts should question and exercise critical thought on expert advice
but experts and their work also needs to be held accountable through the supervision of an objective
party. To solve this issue requires a solution that rests in the middle of these two drastic options. This
argument will be supported through the work of Chris Mooney, John Horgan, and Harry Collins.
The benefits of allowing non–experts to partake in the conversation and weigh in their opinions, is
that it provides an objective third party. Having this outside perspective helps with issues that
experts often cannot see from the inside of their own community such as groupthink. This is a

3.1 Evaluate different techniques for sampling evidence of assessment, including use of technology
There are a wide variety of techniques used for sampling the evidence of assessment which are all
valuable for different reasons. Below are listed these different techniques
a) Direct observation is the best way to evaluate the assessor's ability to carry out a fair and valid
assessment. The observation should ideally take place in the work environment and involve the
learner carrying out specific tasks as required for inclusion in the learner's portfolio of evidence. The
IQA can quickly establish the effect of the assessment on the learner and can get a good impression
of the rapport that the assessor has with the learner and the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net
...
This can be problematic within the actual workplace
e) Questioning is another method of sampling evidence and will involve the questioning of both the
assessor and the candidate. To ensure that the evidence has the necessary validity the questions to
the learner should happen in private away from the assessor. The need for the learner to feel that
they have the confidence to disclose the true picture of the assessment process is very important.
The question sessions can be recorded on the necessary portfolio documentation but can add validity
if they are recorded on tape or digitally and used as evidence.
f) Underpinning knowledge questions can be sampled effectively as the Awarding Organisation will
provide the answers which can be checked and a total can be calculated and compared with what the
assessor has marked
g) E–portfolios are a useful tool for assessments and can be sampled remotely along with virtual
assessment tools such as Skype etc. These can pose problems with validity as the assessor will need
to agree the conditions before assessment to ensure that the tasks have been completed by the
candidate and that there is no plagiarism which may interfere with the assessment process

Formulas Are Set Patterns For Expressing Your Ideas
Formulas are set patterns for expressing your ideas. Also they enable you to pour your words into
recognizable article structures. Formulas, like outlines, impose discipline, help you determine the
components of your article and ensure that they relate to one another. Here are a few common article
formulas: Lists – One of the most basic formulas for an article. A list article is just that–a number of
facts tied together by a theme. List articles are easy to research, write and sell. "Ten Common Sales
Objections," or "Eight Ways To Avoid Workplace Injuries" are list articles that deliver a cluster of
facts based on an overall theme. How To – This is one the most common formulas for experts, and
for good reason. As the name suggests, this article tells readers how to solve a problem, perform a
process, or move toward a desired result. If you can show readers how to do something, it follows
that you have the expertise to perform it yourself. This eBook, for example, is based on the How To
formula. Case Histories – This type of article shows readers how a business solved a problem or
addressed a need. A company that performs employee satisfaction surveys could write an article
aimed at managers on how it solved an employee retention problem and saved its client thousands of

It decides which rules are satisfied by the facts, prioritizes them, and executes the rule with the
highest priority. There are two types of inference: forward chaining and backward chaining. Forward
chaining is reasoning from facts to the conclusion while backward chaining is from hypothesis to
the facts that support this hypothesis. Whether an inference engine performs forward chining or
backward chaining entirely depends on the design which in turn depends on the type of problem.
Some of the systems that do forward chaining are OPS5 and CLIPS. E–MYCIN one of the most
popular systems performs backward chining. Some systems, ART and KEE, for example, offer both
the techniques. Forward chaining is best suited for prognosis, monitoring and control. Backward
chaining is generally used for diagnostic problems. E–MYCIN deduces the list of possible culprit
bacteria based on symptoms provided by the physician. Inference engine operates in cycles,
executing a group of tasks until certain criteria causes that halt the execution. The tasks to be done

What Types of Cases are Steel Fabrication Experts Used in?
Steel fabrication is the process of creating structures by bending, cutting, shaping, and otherwise
assembling pieces of steel. If you have ever noticed the steel frame of a building as it is being
constructed, you have witnessed the product of steel fabrication. Steel fabrication experts are
experienced and knowledgeable in the steel fabrication process, as well as what may occur if there
are errors in the steel fabrication process. Steel fabrication experts are valuable in a variety of cases,
such as premises liability cases, workers compensation claims, and, of course, construction
litigation.
How would steel fabrication experts be used in premises liability claims? As an example, pretend
you are a guest at a hotel at a beach in California. During your stay at the hotel, a mild earthquake
rattles the building. The building is seriously damaged by the earthquake, however, and you are
injured by falling debris. As it turns out, the steel frame of the hotel was not coated properly with an
anti–corrosive. Steel will corrode if it is not properly protected from water and humidity. A steel
fabrication expert would be called in to analyze how the steel frame of the building was constructed,
what errors were made, and how those errors led to your injuries.
If you are a construction worker, you may need a steel fabrication expert if you are injured while on

The Matthew Effect By Malcolm Gladwell
Expertise is something many people look at as coincidence. They see it as something that merely
happens to someone. Malcolm Gladwell, however, studied how one attains this status. He proposed
that it takes 10,000 hours of practice put into something to truly become an expert at it. Proficiency
at a skill does not come automatically. It takes time and effort to really master anything. Gladwell
backs up his theory with examples of many people who are considered experts. Bill Joy, an expert
computer programmer and creator of Sun Microsystems, achieved this status through years spent at
the computer. Mozart was not considered an expert until he had been composing for ten years. Bill
gates, a master of computer programming and inventor of Microsoft, programmed computers as
much as possible in the seven years before starting his company. To achieve 10,000 hours, one must
work for five hours a day for five years. Gates was well over that by this time. Gladwell brings
additional examples in the chapter, and one thing is clear – it takes time to become an expert. It does
not happen by coincidence. 10,000 hours sounds nearly unachievable. In truth, it is not simple. If it
were, almost everyone would be an expert. However, in reality, ... Show more content on

After a four year wait, Tim Jordan and his family were given an allotment close to their home in
which they grew vegetables and happily ate them. However, they received a letter from the local
authorities stating that the soil on the allotment was poisoned with lead and arsenic, and was
therefore unsafe. After months of consultations, the local council sent off samples of the soil to
multiple laboratories to get it analysed. The results of which tests deemed the levels of toxins in the
soil to be low enough not to prove a threat to human health, and so normal gardening was resumed
in the allotments. Jordan and his family decided to give up the allotment because expert knowledge
in the field of science was reliant on assumptions about the soil and they were uncertain of the risks
posed by the poisoned soil. But the validity of the scientific tests was questioned by the UK
Government's environmental agency (EA) who claimed that the results of the tests were
questionable because the tests seem to find differing levels of toxins, and so the EA submitted the
same samples to nine laboratories in the UK and Wales, to one in the USA, and one in the
Netherlands. The results they produced demonstrated enough variation between the laboratories to
suggest that such tests may be underestimating the poisons.
By applying the fundamental points of Beck's risk theory to this example, we can see that expert

The article discusses the idea that deliberate practice in a domain increases the chances of becoming an expert in the field. It provides a significant amount of factual knowledge that comes from fellow researchers and studies over a period of time to provide information in proving the theoretical frameworks presented in the article. The article talks about the factors necessary for achieving and surpassing maximal performance. Also analyzing the ways in which the number of hours and years practiced over greatly affect the person's capabilities. The article introduces the idea that even very experienced people in a field can significantly increase their performances through deliberate efforts when further improvements were required promotions or rewards. ...

The authors then propose a theoretical framework that can explain how expert performance can be attained through deliberate practice. The minimum consistent time of practice required for the domains like music, mathematics, tennis, swimming, and long–distance running is the "10–year rule" or the "10,000 hours rule".

  • 3. What Are The Responsibilities Of A Commander Expert Knowledge and Captains As Captains, officers will be given the opportunity to become company commanders. Command holds the highest level of responsibility of any duty position in the Army. Commanders are responsible for millions of dollars of equipment, dozens of lives, and the application of lethal force. This responsibility is what makes military expertise vitally important to Captains in the United States Army. Additionally, the responsibilities of Command, if carried out improperly have the ability to cause significant harm to civil–military relations in this country. Gregory D. Foster identifies several shortcomings of the civil–military relationship in the rant he published in 2007. Though he offers no solutions to the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The third field, "political–cultural," summarizes how Army professionals represent themselves outside of military operations (Army, 2015). Commanders must ensure that they present themselves in a professional manner outside of the uniform, because, as leaders in the Army, a commander's actions will be representative of the Army, regardless of whether they are in uniform. The final field is, "leader–human development," this field centers around creating leaders and Soldiers who are experts in their fields (Army, 2015). This is the most important field for a commander to understand. The commander has a large influence on the development of the Soldiers in their care. As such a commander, must work to become an expert in the three–other field mentioned in chapter five, so that they can utilize that expertise to create experts within their unit. The development of expert knowledge within the force can help to remedy the lack of political neutrality Foster (2007) identified in his paper. By developing experts, and focusing their development using the fields identified in chapter five commanders have the opportunity to eliminate, what Foster (2007) calls, "pronounced ideological conservatism and Republican political preference." This political preference can only stem from the development of Soldiers, by leaders who are not experts in the four fields mentioned in chapter five. Otherwise, all Soldiers would make ...

  • 5. Expert Insanity In Court Cases Courts and the jurors serving in them need to be cautious when listening to expert testimony given, regarding the mental capabilities or sanity of an individual. This is because it is impossible to go into the mind of the defendant and know for a fact that they are mentally capable, which causes any assessment to be in part guesswork. Also the definition of what the judiciary has considered mentally insane has changed through time and in different legal systems. I argue that expert testimony in cases regarding mental sanity is not uniform and varies in different instances. As a society should be trying to make the definitions and assessment of sanity the uniform in all of the states and United States federal courts for persons to be tried ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This model was intended to be more encompassing than the M'Naughten standard of the past, and allow for both medical and psychiatric evidence. The A.L.I was much easier than the M'Naughten standard because Instead of requiring a defendant to have no understanding of right and wrong, the A.L.I. standard requires that he lack a "substantial capacity" to understand the right from wrong, and expands the M'Naughten rule to include an "irresistible impulse" component. Years later the Insanity Defense Reform Act of 1984 essentially lead to the A.L.I. test being discarded in favor of a new version which more closely resembled the M'Naughten ruling. Under this ruling the defendant must show that their mental handicap is severe. This reform act was largely due to public outcry from the actions of John Hinckley Jr. who shot President Ronald Reagan and was found not guilty by reason of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. Background And History : Tammy Marquardt Background and History Tammy Marquardt was born in Toronto, Ontario. She comes from an Aboriginal and European background, and was raised by her mother. Tammy has suffered sexual abuse from her mother's boyfriend as a teen, and has left home at the age of 17. Tammy and her boyfriend, Robert Nelson were expecting a child in the summer of 1990, and Tammy was only 19 years old at the time. That relationship did not last, since she went on to marry another man named Ricky Marquardt two months before Kenneth's second birthday. Unfortunately, Ricky was abusive to Tammy and her child. Having to contact the Children's Aid Society frequently in order to protect Kenneth made her living situation unbearable. Growing up, Kenneth had several health conditions, including asthma, pneumonia and epilepsy. He has also suffered several seizures over time in his life. The Crime On October 9, 1993, Kenneth was napping in the spare bedroom, and Tammy went to check on him finding him tangled into his sheets and was gasping for breath. She has tried to free him, but was unsuccessful. Tammy called 911 and the operator instructed her to perform CPR, but Tammy was too stressed and was not calm enough to follow the instructions. The emergency crews came in and took Kenneth and he was successful revived at the hospital. However, the doctors told Tammy that Kenneth has suffered brain damage and he was put in life support.

These people are often revered as being the most gifted of our kind, and we often place their successes on a pedestal far beyond our reach. It is a widely–accepted excuse their natural abilities have allowed them to reach their expert–level of knowledge and achievement. However, modern research is yielding more proof that innate characteristics have less to do with a person 's talent and that hard work is the primary push factor towards those achievements. All of those accomplished people from various fields have one thing in common: deliberate practice, the primary source of success. Being an incredibly underutilized ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They concluded that the amount of time spent in deliberate practice and effort put forth, "predicted advancing further rounds in final competition far better than any other kind of preparation" (Duckworth 126), consequently proving that deliberate practice is key to success. Nevertheless, deliberate practice is less about quantity and more about the quality of practice. Practicing to reach a certain quota of time spent on the task or following the same routine will yield limited results, quickly leading to frustration. Repetition of the same motions does not mean excellence; defining goals and honing in on weaknesses are the only way to avoid stagnation in practice. Deliberate practice requires a willingness to refine skills and put forth a full effort – something Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky has strived to do her entire career. Her coach has described her as someone who "willingly does more deliberate practice than anyone he's ever met" (Duckworth 136). She knows how deeply gratifying practice is when done correctly, and has six Olympic medals to prove it. While expert performers may seem to have reached a godlike level of achievement, their successes are only attained through the patience required for deliberate practice. Even the most daunting of challenges or unfair disadvantages can be overcome through the use of deliberate practice.

THE COURT MUST ADMIT ALL EXPERT OPINION, WITNESS TESTIMONY OR REPORTED FACTS BY ADVANCED CONSULTING & INVESTIGATIONS (ACI) AND/OR ITS PRINCIPAL, MARK SODERLUND. Defendant's motion to exclude testimony from ACI and/or Mark Soderlund is a thinly–veiled attempt to challenge the expert's credibility prior to trial. Under the Minnesota Rules of Evidence, "if scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education, may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise." Minn. R. Evid. 702. Therefore, Minnesota courts find an expert to be competent to testify if ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... R. Evid. 702. See, e.g., John Doe 76C v. Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis, 817 N.W.2d 150, 166 (Minn. 2012) (the "theory forming the basis for the expert's opinion or test [must be] reliable."); State v. Mack, 292 N.W.2d 764, 768 (Minn. 1980) (hypnotized subjects are exposed to outside influences so the use of hypnosis–induced evidence lacks scientific reliability); Goeb v. Tharaldson, 615 N.W.2d 800, 816 (expert's methodology failed to include review of plaintiff's medical records and relied upon non–peer reviewed battery of tests performed six years after the fact). The hallmark of a reliable and admissible expert opinion is one that is based upon a scientifically valid methodology. Goeb, 615 N.W.2d at 809. Pursuant to the Rules, expert opinion testimony must be based on facts or data. See Minn. R. Evid. 703(a)–(b)(a)("The facts or data in the particular case upon which an expert bases an opinion or inference may be those perceived by or made known to the expert at or before the hearing. If of a type reasonably relied upon by experts in the particular field in forming opinions or inferences upon the subject, the facts or data need not be admissible in evidence. (b) Underlying expert data must be independently admissible in order to be received upon direct examination; provided that when good cause is shown in civil cases and the underlying data is particularly trustworthy, the court may admit the data under this rule for the limited purpose of showing the basis for the expert's opinion.

Malcolm Gladwell Ten Thousand Hours Analysis The 10,000 hour rule in Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers" states that "...ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world class–expert––– in anything." I disagree with this statement, but if I were to change it so that it was more agreeable, I would change it so that it would say, "...to most people, ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the possibility of becoming a world class–expert–– in anything." Evidence of astronauts who became experts under 10,000 hours, comedians' god given natural humor, and evidence of exceptional soccer players and volleyball players' heights all show why Malcolm Gladwell's "ten thousand hours" isn't completely true. I added "to most ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Skyler plays for a volleyball club in Bloomington called Illini Elite, which is considered one of the best clubs in the state. They have many different teams ranging in skill level, kind of like the english professional leagues. From the top, there is the Cardinal team, Black team, White team, and then red, and so on. The top three teams go to florida to play a national tournament to compete in front of many college coaches in hopes to get noticed. Skyler, who is looking to play college volleyball, really wanted to go to the national tournament, practiced way more than the other kids in the club, worked harder, and played better than everyone, but after tryouts, was placed on the red team all because she was short.. She was so devastated and hurt that she almost quite volleyball completely. Gladwell failed to mention roadblocks like physical characteristics when making his claim, also giving the reader a false sense of power and control. He makes everyone think that as long as they work hard and practice for 10,000 hours, they will become experts, but as we all know, it is impossible to "practice" getting tall for 10,000 hours, because it just is not possible. And because Gladwell failed to mention these unchangeable roadblocks, people like Skyler, who gave everything 110%, paid the price. Overall, I disagree with Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule, but think that it could be corrected so that it is more accurate. Evidence of exceptional IQ, natural talent, and Height are great examples of why intellect, and talent help people become experts at what they do without the need of hitting 10,000 ...

  • 17. Expert And Expert Opinion Evidence Expert evidence is a testimony given by expert witnesses. An expert witness is therefore a person who is allowed to give their opinion in a court of law because of their knowledge or skill in a particular subject. They are providing the court with statement of opinion on any matter calling for their expertise. There are no specific rules as to who may testify as an expert. Expert witness, however, must have a sufficient knowledge and practical experience before placing their evidence in the court. The experts must acquire their expertise in the relevant field by education, training or experience. It is up to the judge, nonetheless, to decide whether a person is qualified to testify as an expert and the courts require an expert witness to be of the highest standard of accuracy and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Expert witnesses have the privilege to provide opinion evidence because they possess particular knowledge or experience in the subject under investigation. Expert opinion evidence is admissible when it provides the court with information which is likely to be outside the court's knowledge and experience, such as unfamiliar kinds of machinery, documents, medical conditions or other relevant field. They are to educate the court about matters which lie within their specialisation or to convey relevant aspects of their knowledge, skill, or experience to the court. This is due to the assumption that the court is unfamiliar with such area of knowledge or skill. The experts must also offer opinion evidence which is related in their field of expertise, or the experts have to provide an opinion which is relevant to an issue in the case; otherwise, the opinion of the expert will be inadmissible. The court may occasionally ask an expert to provide evidence of facts too.

The primary purpose of this paper is to attest that the dual roles that mental health experts assume as both a therapist for the client and as a forensic expert in court proceedings are not compatible. The paper also focuses on arguments which confirm the incompatibility of these roles and analyzes past researches that would support the claim. Specifically, the paper discusses points that explain the incompatibility, such as the goals, the client, and attitudes towards the client. The paper further indicates that mental health experts must refrain from assuming dual roles that do not ethically coincide. Incompatibility of Therapeutic and Forensic Roles In 1997, Greenberg and Shuman wrote an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... An expert witness also has the privilege to offer opinions. Furthermore, they question examinees and not patients or clients. He does not form any working relationship with the subjects (Strasburger, Gutheil, & Brodsky, 1997, p.448). According to Greenberg and Shuman (1997) dual roles have not been abolished despite the fact that engaging in dual roles has corresponding ethical principles that may be overlooked. Even mental health professionals themselves, such as psychologists, are still confused with why the ethical principles exist and how they influence the behavior of therapists. Greenberg and Shuman (1997) specifically address their article to the dual roles that psychologists and psychiatrists assume when they provide therapy to a patient–litigant and also serve as forensic experts in behalf of the patient in litigations. According to Chrisler and McCreary (2010), the American Psychological Association Code of Ethics and the Committee on Ethical Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists warn against dual roles of mental health professionals (p.590) because of the possibility of swaying from objectivity (Greenberg & Shuman, 2007, p.129). This provision perceives that forensic practice involves a relationship with patients that is different from a therapeutic practice.

Forensic Science And The Criminal Justice System Essay Forensic science and law are often seen as two opposing disciplines; forensic science is often presumed to be factual and law can be interpreted in multiple ways. Science and law reach conclusions in different ways which is an issue. Due to these differences, miscommunication is often the cause for miscarriages of justice. In order to address this problem, people working in the criminal justice system should have more knowledge of forensic science. There are many factors that contribute to the lack of understanding between forensic science and the people involved in the court process. Firstly, the adversarial model will be discussed in relation to how these procedures prevent effective communication between forensic evidence and lawyers. Secondly, the role that expert witnesses play in the presentation of scientific evidence and how jurors play a role in interpreting their evidence, will be considered. Thirdly it will be argued that lawyers and judges lack adequate knowledge of forensic science that is needed to conduct accurate trials. Lastly, possible solutions to improve the communication between forensic science and the actors involved in the criminal justice system. Juries, lawyers and judges should be more educated in understanding forensic science. Forensic science can be defined as the relationship between law and science; it answers the questions of how, why and who committed the crime, with the input of multiple actors.

Legal expert witnesses are hired by attorneys who have been accused of some sort of wrongdoing by a former client. These experts address issues involving fees, the duties of attorneys, and other issues that arise during the legal representation of clients. When an attorney has been accused of legal malpractice, these experts step in to help determine whether the attorney committed errors during the representation. Attorneys accused of malpractice are often stressed and emotional and may not think clearly about their case. These attorneys may overlook important pieces of evidence that may help their case. However, with a legal expert witness on the case, the gathering of evidence will go much more smoothly. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In an expert report, the legal expert witness will lay out the elements of malpractice and how the attorney's actions did or did not meet these requirements. The witness may also offer testimony during a deposition on the nature of the claim. After the deposition transcript or the expert report has been reviewed by opposing counsel, the claim may be settled or even dismissed. These witnesses understand how to present the strengths and weaknesses of claims to opposing counsel, which may change their positions in the case. Legal malpractice claims are often difficult for jurors to fully understand. First, they must determine that the attorney committed some sort of wrong, and that, had this wrong not been committed, the outcome of the case would have been better for the client. Next, the jury must determine that the attorney's actions were inappropriate under the jurisdiction's standards. Legal expert witnesses help explain these elements to jurors so they are easier to understand. How Expert Witnesses Strengthen Your ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Notably, James was two years removed from college and, subsequently, placed in charge of the Retirement Division. Two months later, he was jointly promoted to business development manager.

Subsequently as a leader in the organization, James experienced problems from employees due to the lack of power and influence in his unstructured role within the organization and mistakes made in his immature leadership approach. The problems from employees persisted due to James' lack of power and influence in the organization as a leader. According to Bethel University (2011), "leaders who can reward and punish followers may have a greater capacity to influence followers than those leaders who cannot use rewards or punishments" (p. 107). As a leader and manager in the organization, James acceded to two management positions offered by vice president of marketing, Eric Johnson, without any clarity of his legitimate, reward, and coercive powers. Collectively, these powers would have revealed James' authority of position, ability to influence with rewards, and the ability to influence others with disciplinary action (Bethel University, 2011). James' powers and position in the organization was realized when he asked Eric for a part–time secretary. And, even more, when he became infuriated with a supervisor after asking her subordinates (two clerks) for administrative assistance without prior approval. The supervisor refused to assist and impolitely questioned his ability to perform his duties and stated, "...it is your job," causing James to report the situation to Eric (Bethel University, 2011, p. 144). ...

An expert is someone who possesses special knowledge or a set of skills in a specific domain (Quick, 2016). There are several key principles that separates experts from novices. One of the key principles that distinguishes an expert from a novice is the great deal of content knowledge experts acquire that reflects a deep understanding of their subject matter (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000). Another key principle is their erratic levels of flexibility in their approach to finding solutions to situations or problems. The expert I chose to interview was Marilyn Amilcar.

She attended mathematic interventions and seminars, she shadowed experienced instructors, and she even bought several math books to practice math problems and find alternative solutions to solving them. I then asked Miss. Amilcar besides practice, what else has contributed to her expertise and he said her love for math.

This idea of lay expertise inserting itself into the business of experts has become very controversial recently due to the outcomes of high profile cases. There are boundaries for both the average person, in their limits of understanding, but also there is a need for improved interaction between laymen and the elite group of experts. There must be a balance. As set out by the UN people have the right to freedom of speech, however it is more of a question of whether they should be challenging the findings of experts. I will be arguing that there needs to be a balance between the two; non–experts should question and exercise critical thought on expert advice but experts and their work also needs to be held accountable through the supervision of an objective party. To solve this issue requires a solution that rests in the middle of these two drastic options. This argument will be supported through the work of Chris Mooney, John Horgan, and Harry Collins. The benefits of allowing non–experts to partake in the conversation and weigh in their opinions, is that it provides an objective third party.

The observation should ideally take place in the work environment and involve the learner carrying out specific tasks as required for inclusion in the learner's portfolio of evidence.

This can be problematic within the actual workplace e) Questioning is another method of sampling evidence and will involve the questioning of both the assessor and the candidate. To ensure that the evidence has the necessary validity the questions to the learner should happen in private away from the assessor. The need for the learner to feel that they have the confidence to disclose the true picture of the assessment process is very important. The question sessions can be recorded on the necessary portfolio documentation but can add validity if they are recorded on tape or digitally and used as evidence. f) Underpinning knowledge questions can be sampled effectively as the Awarding Organisation will provide the answers which can be checked and a total can be calculated and compared with what the assessor has marked g) E–portfolios are a useful tool for assessments and can be sampled remotely along with virtual assessment tools such as Skype etc. These can pose problems with validity as the assessor will need to agree the conditions before assessment to ensure that the tasks have been completed by the candidate and that there is no plagiarism which may interfere with the assessment process h) The candidates will generally be allocated an expert witness whilst working on site.

Here are a few common article formulas: Lists – One of the most basic formulas for an article. A list article is just that–a number of facts tied together by a theme. List articles are easy to research, write and sell. "Ten Common Sales Objections," or "Eight Ways To Avoid Workplace Injuries" are list articles that deliver a cluster of facts based on an overall theme. How To – This is one the most common formulas for experts, and for good reason. As the name suggests, this article tells readers how to solve a problem, perform a process, or move toward a desired result. If you can show readers how to do something, it follows that you have the expertise to perform it yourself. This eBook, for example, is based on the How To formula.

It decides which rules are satisfied by the facts, prioritizes them, and executes the rule with the highest priority. There are two types of inference: forward chaining and backward chaining. Forward chaining is reasoning from facts to the conclusion while backward chaining is from hypothesis to the facts that support this hypothesis. Whether an inference engine performs forward chining or backward chaining entirely depends on the design which in turn depends on the type of problem. Some of the systems that do forward chaining are OPS5 and CLIPS. E–MYCIN one of the most popular systems performs backward chining. Some systems, ART and KEE, for example, offer both

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... What Types of Cases are Steel Fabrication Experts Used in? Steel fabrication is the process of creating structures by bending, cutting, shaping, and otherwise assembling pieces of steel. If you have ever noticed the steel frame of a building as it is being constructed, you have witnessed the product of steel fabrication. Steel fabrication experts are experienced and knowledgeable in the steel fabrication process, as well as what may occur if there are errors in the steel fabrication process. Steel fabrication experts are valuable in a variety of cases, such as premises liability cases, workers compensation claims, and, of course, construction litigation. How would steel fabrication experts be used in premises liability claims? As an example, pretend you are a guest at a hotel at a beach in California. During your stay at the hotel, a mild earthquake rattles the building. The building is seriously damaged by the earthquake, however, and you are injured by falling debris. As it turns out, the steel frame of the hotel was not coated properly with an anti–corrosive. Steel will corrode if it is not properly protected from water and humidity. A steel fabrication expert would be called in to analyze how the steel frame of the building was constructed, what errors were made, and how those errors led to your injuries. If you are a construction worker, you may need a steel fabrication expert if you are injured while on the job. Many

Malcolm Gladwell, however, studied how one attains this status. He proposed that it takes 10,000 hours of practice put into something to truly become an expert at it. Proficiency at a skill does not come automatically. It takes time and effort to really master anything. Gladwell backs up his theory with examples of many people who are considered experts. Bill Joy, an expert computer programmer and creator of Sun Microsystems, achieved this status through years spent at the computer. Mozart was not considered an expert until he had been composing for ten years. Bill gates, a master of computer programming and inventor of Microsoft, programmed computers as much as possible in the seven years before starting his company. To achieve 10,000 hours, one must work for five hours a day for five years. Gates was well over that by this time. Gladwell brings additional examples in the chapter, and one thing is clear – it takes time to become an expert. It does not happen by coincidence. 10,000 hours sounds nearly unachievable. In truth, it is not simple. If it were, almost everyone would be an expert. However, in reality, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

To become a member of a discourse community one must be a part of something that many people can relate to, experience is a key part of this. At the start of my freshman year I was subjected to change; my life was moved from one location to another, and I was therefore forced to change schools. This changeover had a significant effect on my life moving forward. I had to learn to adjust in a new place, and adapt my personality to make myself more open and outgoing. This task was difficult to say the least, as it was the first time in my life where I was faced with meeting new people, and practically starting over, isn't the unknown the scariest of all?.

After a four year wait, Tim Jordan and his family were given an allotment close to their home in which they grew vegetables and happily ate them. However, they received a letter from the local authorities stating that the soil on the allotment was poisoned with lead and arsenic, and was therefore unsafe. After months of consultations, the local council sent off samples of the soil to multiple laboratories to get it analysed. The results of which tests deemed the levels of toxins in the soil to be low enough not to prove a threat to human health, and so normal gardening was resumed in the allotments. Jordan and his family decided to give up the allotment because expert knowledge in the field of science was reliant on assumptions about the soil and they were uncertain of the risks posed by the poisoned soil. But the validity of the scientific tests was questioned by the UK Government's environmental agency (EA) who claimed that the results of the tests were questionable because the tests seem to find differing levels of toxins, and so the EA submitted the same samples to nine laboratories in the UK and Wales, to one in the USA, and one in the Netherlands. The results they produced demonstrated enough variation between the laboratories to suggest that such tests may be underestimating the poisons. By applying the fundamental points of Beck's risk theory to this example, we can see that expert knowledge did in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
