SCS2150 research questions
A short presentation on how to formulate a research question at the undergraduate level. Designed specifically for uOttawa's e-learning course SCS2150 Introduction to Methodology in the Social Sciences.
Preliminary Research Exercise
The document provides guidance for conducting preliminary research on a topic. It instructs the reader to choose a reasonably narrowed topic and find a general introductory article on the subject. The reader is then told to skim the article, take notes, and write at least 10 highly focused, analytical research questions raised by—but not answered by—the article. If the reader cannot generate enough questions, it suggests trying another article or considering a different topic altogether. The document concludes by giving examples of effective research questions that are analytical, argumentative, and require research from multiple sources.
Discursive essay writing
This document provides guidance on writing an informative or argumentative essay, including how to choose a topic, plan and structure the essay, locate and organize relevant information from multiple sources, take effective notes, and avoid plagiarism. It recommends starting with background research on possible topics, creating a mind map to develop the main argument or question, gathering information from a variety of up-to-date and reliable sources, taking notes on how sources relate to the argument, and properly citing all sources. The document also stresses organizing notes, reviewing information and one's own opinion to support the argument, getting feedback, and meeting deadlines.
Introducing Research Skills
This document outlines the six steps for conducting effective research:
1. Decide on a topic and focus questions.
2. Find information from a variety of sources like libraries, the internet, and experts.
3. Record information through notes and bibliographies rather than direct copying.
4. Select the most relevant information to answer the focus questions.
5. Present the research findings using appropriate formats like essays, articles, or presentations.
6. Evaluate the research process and identify ways to improve.
How to Develop Good Research Project or Thesis Topics
Several things go into choosing the right topic for your research. Some of these will determine how well your research turns out. This simple guide shows you what to consider and strategies to come up with good topics for your research project, dissertations or thesis
Develop Topic
The document discusses developing a research topic and question. It advises the reader to brainstorm topics related to their assignment and narrow their focus through research. The reader explores using compost for heat extraction and develops a research question on the extent benefits of this practice outweigh barriers for small farms. Developing a clear, focused yet open-ended research question is key.
Persuasive Research CAIII
This document provides guidance for choosing a topic for a persuasive research paper. It advises picking a topic that is controversial and about an issue you feel strongly about, while also ensuring there is enough available evidence and research to support your opinion in 5 paragraphs without being too broad or narrow in scope. Broad topics could have too much information to fit the paper requirements, while narrow topics may lack sufficient research. The document also notes the importance of finding opposing viewpoints, using appropriate research databases and tools, and getting the topic approved before beginning to research and write the paper.

Factors to consider before choosing school project topics
1. When choosing a project topic, pick something that has enough available information by doing a preliminary search.
2. School projects involve researching a topic and presenting findings through writing or multimedia. This requires finding, evaluating, and incorporating other researchers' work, not just your own knowledge.
3. Defining a focused research question is key to choosing a good topic. Brainstorm topics of interest and use keywords to search databases and websites for background information to help formulate a research question and thesis statement.

Research topic analysis
The document provides guidance on selecting a research topic for a paper or project. It recommends brainstorming potential topics, researching background information, focusing the topic into a clear research question, developing keywords, and defining the topic as a thesis statement. Key steps include exploring interests and current events, limiting broad topics, researching more about the topic, and considering who, what, when, where and why questions related to the topic. Example topics and research questions are given to illustrate the process.
International Issues Paper Instructions– Winter 2018 .docx
International Issues Paper Instructions– Winter 2018
You are required to turn in a one paragraph summary explaining which recent
international event you INTEND to write your paper on to your TA on the evening
of Feb. 12 (the night of the midterm).Please be sure there are sufficient newspaper
articles available to support your topic choice.
The purpose of this project is to further develop your critical thinking, research skills and to
encourage you to delve into an international issue of your choosing. The project consists of two
components: a collection of at least four current newspaper articles related to a single
international event of your choosing, and 2000 word summary-analysis paper devoted to the
articles you selected for this project. You will also need to include a “works cited” or
bibliography page along with hard copies of each of your news articles when you submit your
essay on Monday, March 5.
All materials for this project are due to your TA in lecture on Mon., March 5, 2018. Late papers
will lose 10 points for each day they are late.
Purpose of the Paper (Examining the Production of Contemporary Historiography) - The goal
of this paper is to allow you to analyze how “historiography” is an ongoing process largely
influenced by the news media. History is a subjectively generated product. History incorporates
the biases and viewpoints of those who produce it. The news media today is a key source in
providing us with “meaning” connected to newsworthy “historical” events. In fact, the news
media is in fact a major part of the process that generates "history.” Although news media
reporters and editors frequently claim that they are presenting “just the facts," the way in which
these “facts” are presented often carry a number of biases that strongly influence public
perception and interpretations of current events.
For this assignment, you are going to pick a specific, single international event and examine how
this event is presented by different news media sources from around the globe. You are being
asked to compare the articles you have selected for this assignment and discuss how the differing
ways in which the event you have chosen actually reflects more than the "plain" facts, but rather
reveals complex layers of social values, assumptions, biases, beliefs and meanings by each of
your articles' authors.
Selecting a Topic
1) First, select a single international news event that has occurred in the past 60 days. Since the
purpose of the paper is to address international issues, the event you select for this assignment
must have occurred OUTSIDE of the United States (although the issue may INCLUDE the US
as one of the agents involved). There are numerous current news issues to choose from, but for
this project I strongly suggest that you choose an event of a political or social nature.
If you are struggling to find a topic for this paper, you may want to check out res.

News Article 4:
News Article Review Instructions
You are required to submit brief essays which discuss current news articles that relate to public policy. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to evaluate current public policy issues and their treatment in the media in light of the concepts covered in the readings and discussions occurring in the course. The news articles you select must illustrate a real-world application, or, where appropriate, a lack of application, of one or more of the concepts covered in the readings of the same module/week. Your essays must be critical reviews of the articles, meaning that you must provide your own analysis regarding the articles, rather than simply summarizing them.
Review the News Article Review Grading Rubric to improve the quality of your essays and be sure to adhere to all of the specific guidelines described below.
News Article Selection Guidelines
The articles or news stories that you choose must be:
found in a newspaper, on a news program, or from another reputable media source (including reputable Internet sources);
published within the last month; and
clearly illustrative of the application, or failure to apply, one or more of the concepts covered in the course during the module/week of the assignment.
Each article review must cover different topics. Refrain from using follow-up pieces or multiple perspectives of the same topic. For example, if you find an article discussing a new government regulation in
The New York Times
, you cannot use a follow-up piece put out a few days later in the same newspaper or a different article in a different newspaper discussing the same topic.
Essay Guidelines
Your essay must be ½-1 page, double-spaced. In the essay, you must summarize the article in order to demonstrate your comprehension of the content. Additionally, you must identify key elements discussed in the article and relate those elements back to concepts discussed in the course. Discuss whether the situation described in the article implements any of the concepts discussed in the course or if there are possible ways that concepts from the course could be implemented.
At the end of the essay, provide the complete citation for the article (including the publication date). If possible, you should include the actual article either by pasting it at the end of the document or by providing a link to the article. Format the essay and citation in current Turabian style.

For the second major writing project of the semester, you’ll produce a comparative rhetorical
analysis by choosing between two different options—scientific or political discourse—and
finding and comparing two instances of rhetorical discourse. Whatever option you select, you’ll
need to address the same questions as you develop your understanding of rhetorical discourse
and the way different discourses address differences in rhetorical situation:
1. The question of exigence: What is the discourse about? What need or purpose does the
discourse address? What fundamental values are at stake? What is the discourse trying to
accomplish—and how successful is it?
2. The question of the rhetor: Who is—or are—the rhetor or rhetors? Who is responsible for the
discourse? Who created it? Does the rhetor successfully establish ethos? Why or why not? How
does the discourse itself invoke a particular rhetor? Who sponsored the discourse, and how?
3. The question of audience: For whom is the discourse intended? To whom would this
discourse appeal? Who is the actual audience, and who is the audience invoked or imagined by
the discourse itself? Does the discourse invite the audience to adopt a new role, a new identity?
4. The question of constraints: What constraints did the rhetor have to take into account—what
factors outside of the discourse and beyond the rhetor’s control might influence the audience’s
response to the discourse? Are they negative or positive constraints? How did the rhetor
accommodate those constraints? Was the rhetor successful?
5. The question of genre: What is the genre of the text, and what purpose does this genre
typically serve? How do audience expectations of the genre contribute to our understanding of
the exigence, the intended audience, and the rhetor? What constraints does the genre
introduce?
These constituents of rhetorical situations aren’t an outline for your project; you won’t march
through each of them in succession in the body of your project. Rather, they’re your initial
research questions that will help you to analyze thoroughly the rhetorical dimensions of the texts
you select.
The form and structure of your project will depend, finally, on a refined research question that
will develop out of your research and your understanding of how your chosen texts work.

Discussion: Curiosity is a big part of STEM instruction. How will you encourage curiosity and discovery in your classroom?
Response 1: (Instructor asked) how do you learn about each student's "passion?" In what ways do you discover their true interests with respect to each topic?
Response 2: (Stefanie said)- Encouraging curiosity within the classroom may lead down rabbit holes, take a well-designed lesson plan in a different direction, and take the class focus off of what needs to be covered based on testing requirements. When we are curious about things, we ask questions. One question can lead to another and another, which may mean veering off topic, but also increases engagement and curiosity. Planning for extra time in each activity or designated time at the end of class where students can ask their questions can help students to affirm their desire to learn but not deter the whole lesson (Runn, 2016).
Encouraging creativity and modeling curiosity help to demonstrate ways to be a lifelong learner and how to remain curious about the world we live in (Runn, 2016). Asking students to find real-life examples for the material being taught requires more work than if the teacher just hands them the information. The way homework is assigned can also be a way to encourage curiosity and discovery, offering students multiple avenues to show what they know and an opportunity to learn in a way that is best for the (Runn, 2016).
Paying attention to what really sets a student’s heart on fire, encouraging them to explore new things and helping them to make connections between the information they are learning in class and how it could help and influence their future is one of the most important pieces of teaching. Some students may be more curious than others, but stay present and fight to create passionate, curious students, one class at a time (Runn, 2016).
Response 3: (Haley said)- There are different types of curiosity that students may develop while they are in school including "joyous exploration, need to know curiosity, social curiosity, accepting anxiety curiosity, and thrill-seeking curiosity," (Eva, 2018). In order to help students explore their curiosity of a subject it is important that we, as educators, endorse their love of knowledge and encourage their curiosity. Curiosity has been described as having a hungry mind, and the need or want to know more information on a topic, content, or subject matter. Students that are more curious are more likely to excel in the classroom because they are more motivated to learn. When we become curious it causes more retention of knowledge. To encourage this in the classroom, it is important to welcome questions and risk taking. Some students may be shy or uncomfortable with challenging themselves or speaking out loud.

There are three methods by which static electricity is generated through the transfer of charge: 1) Charging by friction occurs when electrons are transferred between two objects in contact by rubbing; 2) Charging by conduction involves the transfer of electrons when a charged object touches an uncharged one; 3) Charging by induction happens when an electric field generated by a charged object causes electrons in another nearby object to be redistributed without direct contact.

Understanding Electricity Video Questions
This document contains a list of 5 questions about different forms of electricity production and transmission: what electricity is, what a power grid is, how water is used to produce electricity, how solar panels work, and what geothermal power is and how it is produced. The questions are meant to guide further reading and understanding of these important topics in electricity.
2 1 Csrq
Electric charges interact through electric forces. Protons and electrons attract each other, while like charges repel. J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897. Electric charges create electric fields and exert electric forces, similar to how magnetic poles create magnetic fields and forces. Static electricity builds up when surfaces are rubbed together, transferring electrons between objects. It can then be transferred through direct contact, an electric spark, or induction. Static is discharged when a spark transfers charge to equalize an imbalance, such as lightning during a thunderstorm.

Factors to consider before choosing school project topics
1. When choosing a project topic, pick something that has enough available information by doing a preliminary search.
2. School projects involve researching a topic and presenting findings through writing or multimedia. This requires finding, evaluating, and incorporating other researchers' work, not just your own knowledge.
3. Defining a focused research question is key to choosing a good topic. Brainstorm topics of interest and use keywords to search databases and websites for background information to help formulate a research question and thesis statement.

International Issues Paper Instructions– Winter 2018 .docx
International Issues Paper Instructions– Winter 2018
You are required to turn in a one paragraph summary explaining which recent
international event you INTEND to write your paper on to your TA on the evening
of Feb. 12 (the night of the midterm).Please be sure there are sufficient newspaper
articles available to support your topic choice.
The purpose of this project is to further develop your critical thinking, research skills and to
encourage you to delve into an international issue of your choosing. The project consists of two
components: a collection of at least four current newspaper articles related to a single
international event of your choosing, and 2000 word summary-analysis paper devoted to the
articles you selected for this project. You will also need to include a “works cited” or
bibliography page along with hard copies of each of your news articles when you submit your
essay on Monday, March 5.
All materials for this project are due to your TA in lecture on Mon., March 5, 2018. Late papers
will lose 10 points for each day they are late.
Purpose of the Paper (Examining the Production of Contemporary Historiography) - The goal
of this paper is to allow you to analyze how “historiography” is an ongoing process largely
influenced by the news media. History is a subjectively generated product. History incorporates
the biases and viewpoints of those who produce it. The news media today is a key source in
providing us with “meaning” connected to newsworthy “historical” events. In fact, the news
media is in fact a major part of the process that generates "history.” Although news media
reporters and editors frequently claim that they are presenting “just the facts," the way in which
these “facts” are presented often carry a number of biases that strongly influence public
perception and interpretations of current events.
For this assignment, you are going to pick a specific, single international event and examine how
this event is presented by different news media sources from around the globe. You are being
asked to compare the articles you have selected for this assignment and discuss how the differing
ways in which the event you have chosen actually reflects more than the "plain" facts, but rather
reveals complex layers of social values, assumptions, biases, beliefs and meanings by each of
your articles' authors.
Selecting a Topic
1) First, select a single international news event that has occurred in the past 60 days. Since the
purpose of the paper is to address international issues, the event you select for this assignment
must have occurred OUTSIDE of the United States (although the issue may INCLUDE the US
as one of the agents involved). There are numerous current news issues to choose from, but for
this project I strongly suggest that you choose an event of a political or social nature.

News Article Review Instructions
You are required to submit brief essays which discuss current news articles that relate to public policy. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to evaluate current public policy issues and their treatment in the media in light of the concepts covered in the readings and discussions occurring in the course. The news articles you select must illustrate a real-world application, or, where appropriate, a lack of application, of one or more of the concepts covered in the readings of the same module/week. Your essays must be critical reviews of the articles, meaning that you must provide your own analysis regarding the articles, rather than simply summarizing them.
Review the News Article Review Grading Rubric to improve the quality of your essays and be sure to adhere to all of the specific guidelines described below.
News Article Selection Guidelines
The articles or news stories that you choose must be:
found in a newspaper, on a news program, or from another reputable media source (including reputable Internet sources);
published within the last month; and
clearly illustrative of the application, or failure to apply, one or more of the concepts covered in the course during the module/week of the assignment.
Each article review must cover different topics. Refrain from using follow-up pieces or multiple perspectives of the same topic. For example, if you find an article discussing a new government regulation in
The New York Times
, you cannot use a follow-up piece put out a few days later in the same newspaper or a different article in a different newspaper discussing the same topic.
Essay Guidelines
Your essay must be ½-1 page, double-spaced. In the essay, you must summarize the article in order to demonstrate your comprehension of the content. Additionally, you must identify key elements discussed in the article and relate those elements back to concepts discussed in the course. Discuss whether the situation described in the article implements any of the concepts discussed in the course or if there are possible ways that concepts from the course could be implemented.
At the end of the essay, provide the complete citation for the article (including the publication date). If possible, you should include the actual article either by pasting it at the end of the document or by providing a link to the article. Format the essay and citation in current Turabian style.

For the second major writing project of the semester, you’ll produce a comparative rhetorical
analysis by choosing between two different options—scientific or political discourse—and
finding and comparing two instances of rhetorical discourse. Whatever option you select, you’ll
need to address the same questions as you develop your understanding of rhetorical discourse
and the way different discourses address differences in rhetorical situation:
1. The question of exigence: What is the discourse about? What need or purpose does the
discourse address? What fundamental values are at stake? What is the discourse trying to
accomplish—and how successful is it?
2. The question of the rhetor: Who is—or are—the rhetor or rhetors? Who is responsible for the
discourse? Who created it? Does the rhetor successfully establish ethos? Why or why not? How
does the discourse itself invoke a particular rhetor? Who sponsored the discourse, and how?
3. The question of audience: For whom is the discourse intended? To whom would this
discourse appeal? Who is the actual audience, and who is the audience invoked or imagined by
the discourse itself? Does the discourse invite the audience to adopt a new role, a new identity?
4. The question of constraints: What constraints did the rhetor have to take into account—what
factors outside of the discourse and beyond the rhetor’s control might influence the audience’s
response to the discourse? Are they negative or positive constraints? How did the rhetor
accommodate those constraints? Was the rhetor successful?
5. The question of genre: What is the genre of the text, and what purpose does this genre
typically serve? How do audience expectations of the genre contribute to our understanding of
the exigence, the intended audience, and the rhetor? What constraints does the genre
introduce?
These constituents of rhetorical situations aren’t an outline for your project; you won’t march
through each of them in succession in the body of your project. Rather, they’re your initial
research questions that will help you to analyze thoroughly the rhetorical dimensions of the texts
you select.
The form and structure of your project will depend, finally, on a refined research question that
will develop out of your research and your understanding of how your chosen texts work.

Discussion: Curiosity is a big part of STEM instruction. How will you encourage curiosity and discovery in your classroom?
Response 1: (Instructor asked) how do you learn about each student's "passion?" In what ways do you discover their true interests with respect to each topic?
Response 2: (Stefanie said)- Encouraging curiosity within the classroom may lead down rabbit holes, take a well-designed lesson plan in a different direction, and take the class focus off of what needs to be covered based on testing requirements. When we are curious about things, we ask questions. One question can lead to another and another, which may mean veering off topic, but also increases engagement and curiosity. Planning for extra time in each activity or designated time at the end of class where students can ask their questions can help students to affirm their desire to learn but not deter the whole lesson (Runn, 2016).
Encouraging creativity and modeling curiosity help to demonstrate ways to be a lifelong learner and how to remain curious about the world we live in (Runn, 2016). Asking students to find real-life examples for the material being taught requires more work than if the teacher just hands them the information. The way homework is assigned can also be a way to encourage curiosity and discovery, offering students multiple avenues to show what they know and an opportunity to learn in a way that is best for the (Runn, 2016).
Paying attention to what really sets a student’s heart on fire, encouraging them to explore new things and helping them to make connections between the information they are learning in class and how it could help and influence their future is one of the most important pieces of teaching. Some students may be more curious than others, but stay present and fight to create passionate, curious students, one class at a time (Runn, 2016).
Response 3: (Haley said)- There are different types of curiosity that students may develop while they are in school including "joyous exploration, need to know curiosity, social curiosity, accepting anxiety curiosity, and thrill-seeking curiosity," (Eva, 2018). In order to help students explore their curiosity of a subject it is important that we, as educators, endorse their love of knowledge and encourage their curiosity. Curiosity has been described as having a hungry mind, and the need or want to know more information on a topic, content, or subject matter. Students that are more curious are more likely to excel in the classroom because they are more motivated to learn. When we become curious it causes more retention of knowledge. To encourage this in the classroom, it is important to welcome questions and risk taking. Some students may be shy or uncomfortable with challenging themselves or speaking out loud. We should encourag ...

Understanding Electricity Video Questions
This document contains a list of 5 questions about different forms of electricity production and transmission: what electricity is, what a power grid is, how water is used to produce electricity, how solar panels work, and what geothermal power is and how it is produced. The questions are meant to guide further reading and understanding of these important topics in electricity.
2 1 Csrq
Electric charges interact through electric forces. Protons and electrons attract each other, while like charges repel. J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897. Electric charges create electric fields and exert electric forces, similar to how magnetic poles create magnetic fields and forces. Static electricity builds up when surfaces are rubbed together, transferring electrons between objects. It can then be transferred through direct contact, an electric spark, or induction. Static is discharged when a spark transfers charge to equalize an imbalance, such as lightning during a thunderstorm.
Albert Einstein
The document provides biographical and scientific details about Albert Einstein. It discusses that he was born in Germany in 1879 and died in 1955, and that he made seminal contributions to 20th century physics through his theories of special and general relativity. It summarizes that the special theory of relativity abandoned the concept of the luminiferous ether and established that the speed of light is constant, and that the general theory of relativity described gravity as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime.
Inside A Magnet
Inside a Magnet, atoms in most materials point randomly, canceling magnetic fields. But when atoms align, they form magnetic domains that create magnetism. When many domains point the same direction, the material magnetizes. Ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel and cobalt show strong magnetism from aligned domains. Alloy and ferrite magnets are also magnetic but stronger and cheaper than metal magnets. Magnets form by placing unmagnetized ferromagnetic material near a strong magnet or rubbing it with a magnet pole. Temporary magnets easily magnetize but demagnetize, while permanent magnets are hard to magnetize but keep magnetism longer. Magnets destroy through impacts, heating, or breaking into smaller aligned domain pieces.
Magnetic Earth Review And Reinforce
1. The document is a worksheet about magnetism and Earth's magnetic field.
2. It asks students to label parts of a diagram showing Earth's magnetic field and to answer questions about how Earth is like a magnet and whether a compass points to the geographic or magnetic north pole.
3. It also defines key vocabulary terms related to Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind, such as compass, magnetic declination, aurora, Van Allen belts, magnetosphere, and solar wind.
Magnetic Earth
Sir William Gilbert hypothesized in the late 1500s that Earth acts as a giant magnet, explaining why compasses point north. While Earth's core is too hot to be the source of magnetism, the circulation of molten material in the core is related to Earth's magnetic field. Earth's magnetic poles are located in northern Canada and Antarctica, differing from the geographic poles. Earth's magnetic field can magnetize ferromagnetic materials like iron over long periods of time.
Inside A Magnet
The document discusses magnetism at the atomic level. It explains that magnetic domains are groups of atoms whose magnetic fields are aligned, allowing some materials to become magnetized when most or all domains are similarly oriented. It provides examples of ferromagnetic materials like iron and cobalt that strongly exhibit magnetism due to aligned domains. Magnets can be made by placing unmagnetized ferromagnetic materials in strong magnetic fields or by rubbing them with magnet poles, and can be destroyed by impacts, heating, or breaking them into smaller magnet pieces.

This document discusses the earth's magnetic field and how it was studied and understood over time. It asks questions about William Gilbert's hypotheses about compasses and the earth's core in the 1500s. The earth behaves similarly to a bar magnet, with Gilbert originally thinking the core was made of sulfur but it is actually made of iron and nickel which helps create the magnetic field. The magnetic and geographic poles are not in the same locations. Magnetic declination changes over time and was important for navigators to understand. The earth forms magnets from ferromagnetic material and leaves a record of its changing magnetic field over time. The magnetosphere is shaped by solar winds and protects the inner Van Allen radiation belts. Solar wind particles enter the atmosphere at
Atomic Theory Notes
Atomic theory states that atoms have 3 main parts: protons and neutrons are contained at the center in the nucleus, electrons orbit around the outside of the nucleus in shells, and most of the atom is empty space with electrons orbiting far from the nucleus.

Introduction To Magnetism Journal Page 1 With Answers
Magnetic domains are series of atoms that point their poles in the same direction, making up a bar magnet. Some animals can navigate using Earth's magnetic fields because magnetite in their brains aligns with these fields. Magnetic reversal could change lives and preparations could help, like magnetic resonance imaging revolutionizing healthcare by detecting tumors earlier than x-rays via magnetic fields. Magnetic levitation vehicles are propelled by alternating strong repulsive and attractive magnetic forces that lift and move them.

Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
