I apologize, but without more context I do not have enough information to determine a client's specific requirements. Effective listening requires actively focusing on fully understanding the speaker.
Common rhetorical functions in academic writingmariaahmad82
Students of Academic Writing courses are usually not familiar with the common organizing patterns of academic discourse. I prepared this slide show to make my students conscious academic writers, who could write in different rhetorical patterns.
After the formulation of research questions and sample selection, the next step in research chain is developing data collection instruments or research instruments.
They are measurement tools (i.e., tests, questionnaires or interviews)
They can be designed by the researcher or can be previously-developed by other researchers.
This is lesson 4 of the course on Research Methodology conducted at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Rajarata University of Sri Lanka

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. What do you think “listening” means?
Is it hearing others? Obtaining information?
Or is it something more?
Listening skills is an important part of communication.
This is not just an innate ability. It can be developed
through practice and mindfulness.
4. • “The most basic of all human needs is the
need to understand and be understood. The
best way to understand people is to listen to
them.”
Ralph G. Nichols
5. How do you feel when someone does not pay
attention to what you are saying?
It generally makes us feel:
neglected, frustrated or even
insulted.
The need to be understood is universal. It is only
fulfilled when we listen with heart, with mind and
without diversion.

7. In fact, everyday we hear common sounds: a cycle bell, a crowd
cheering at a football match, or an ambulance siren.
Throughout the day, we hear a lot of
noise. But not all these are
meaningful to us.
Consider the feelings these sounds evoke in you. Superficial hearing
does not create emotions, or
understanding. But listening does.
8. Point of difference Hearing Listening
MEANING Perceiving sounds
Active
understanding of
sounds you hear
PROCESS Passive Active
ATTENTION Not required Required
Listening is the process of receiving, perceiving meaning from, and creating
and sending meaningful and accurate response to the sender.

• Draw a triangle at the
top of the square
• Draw a smaller square
inside the large
square
• At the top corner,
draw a circle
• Show us what you
have drawn!
This activity works best with 3 or more
persons.
✔Choose one person to be the
instructor.
✔The others will close their eyes.
✔You will need pen and paper.
✔The instructor will read the
directions one by one, and you have to
follow.
✔Once you are done, open your eye.
✔WHAT HAVE YOU DRAWN?
You will observe that the final drawings
are all different from each other.
Even when the sender is giving us
identical information, the way that
we receive and process the
10. EFFECTIVE LISTENING
When a person listens accurately, interprets
the message correctly, and gives an
appropriate response, then is it known as
“EFFECTIVE LISTENING”.
11.
12. RECEIVING : Getting the information through hearing
UNDERSTANDING: Decoding the information to find its meaning
REMEMBERING: Storing away the information for later use. Also,
retrieving previous information so that the response can be formed
EVALUATING : Examining the message and deciding what response
to give out
RESPONDING : Forming and sending out the response message
STEPS OF EFFECTIVE
LISTENING:

13. Elephants can
remember
er
• I will read out a list of words.
• Listen carefully, DO NOT COPY
THEM.
• When I am done, I will ask you to
write as many as you remember.
• You will get 5 minutes to rememb
and write.
14. SREETAMA BHADURI
A Good Listener Can:
• Understand others well
• Understand what is expected
• Collaborate better with clients, team
members and supervisors
• Earn trust
• Avoid conflicts
• Show support and resolve issues
Poor listening makes us seem sloppy, insincere
and unreliable, to others.
20. APPRECIATIVE LISTENING: A person listens for what they like.
CRITICAL LISTENING: Listening with the intention of analyzing and giving a
feedback.
COMPREHENSIVE LISTENING: Listening to simply understand a message,
like in a class.
EVALUATIVE LISTENING: The listener tries to find value.“What is the
purpose of the speaker? What will I gain?”
EMPATHETIC LISTENING: Listening while imagining yourself in the same
situation.
SUPERFICIAL LISTENING: Listening for the sake of participating in the
communication. The person simply hears sounds and tries to catch the
crucial points.
21. Active listening
•To focus completely,
•listen wholeheartedly and without bias,
•understand the message,
•comprehend the information,
•and respond appropriately
22.
23. 1. Active Listening: Finding ways to stay actively
engaged in listening to avoid the temptation
to thin about something else. For example,
actively asking questions such that you need
to stay ontop of things. Note taking is another
type of active listening.
2. Reflective listening: an approach to activ
listening that involves analysis and evaluation
of what being said.
24. 3. Emphathic listening: another approach to
active listening that involves interpretng the
emotions behind what is said as opposed to the
ligical meaning of words
4. Communicative listening : Paying attention to
what you are comunicating as a listener with
your verbal and non-verbal responses. For
example, taking care to look like you are
listening, even if you are not
25. 5. Active Non Listening: Actively refusing to listen
as a strategy such as sidelining. Active- non
listening may also be motivated by a sense that
speech is poluting your thought process. For
example, listening to someone who is steeped in
negativity that it is bringing you down.
6. Filtering: Seeking useful information in a long
stream of speech. For example listening for
information that applies to you in a conversation
that mostly doesn’t apply to you
26. 7. Minimization: seeking just enough
information to understand the basic context
and topic such that you might be able to
respond if prompted
8. Targeting: seeking specific information in a
long stream of speech. Forexample a
student who is only listening for the teacher
to declare that it is luch time
27. 9. Cognitive multitasking: Attempting to listen
and think about something else at the same
time. This is often described as “drifting off”
when someone is talking.
10. Appreaciative listening: listening because
you genuinely find a speaker or conversation
interesting.

You are driving a bus.
In the first stoppage, two men wearing
jeans and a little girl gets on.
Next, an old lady gets off.
Then, an elderly gentleman with a dog
gets on.
After that, the little girl gets off.
The bus conductor asks for tickets.
At the last stoppage, everyone gets off
the bus.
