Teach chap. 7 - memory - w 11 - instructorxmsvickiex
Memory is an active system that encodes, stores, and retrieves information through three main processes: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Information is encoded from sensory memory and can be stored either in short-term or long-term memory. Short-term memory has a limited capacity and duration, while long-term memory has unlimited capacity but requires rehearsal to be retained. There are various reasons why memories can fade over time through processes like memory decay, disuse, forgetting, or amnesia. Mnemonic techniques can help improve memory recall through associations, imagery, and other strategies.

These slides are from the Iris Speed Reading Classes & Memory Improvement Courses. Iris is the largest and leading provider of Speed Reading & Memory Improvement Courses in the United States. This course covers mnemonic devices and how to make them work for you.
This document discusses improving memory through understanding short term and long term memory, learning techniques like repetition and review to store information long term, developing a memory system using comprehension and retelling, and using mnemonics to associate ideas through awareness and concentration. Memory is measured through recall, recognition, and relearning, with recall being the instant retrieval of information, recognition being associating known and unknown ideas, and relearning assessing how quickly one can relearn forgotten information.
Krashen's Monitor Model proposes five hypotheses about second language acquisition: 1) Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis, 2) Natural Order Hypothesis, 3) Monitor Hypothesis, 4) Input Hypothesis, and 5) Affective Filter Hypothesis. The Monitor Hypothesis suggests that learned grammatical rules are used to edit and modify language output. However, critics argue that the acquisition-learning distinction is unreliable and difficult to empirically test. They also note limitations in how the model accounts for factors like rule application, reception of utterances, and variability in learner output.
This document provides information on alternate-choice items, their nature and variations, advantages and limitations, principles for constructing tests, and tips for test taking. Alternate-choice items include multiple choice, true/false, yes/no, and checklist items. They are easy to score objectively but difficult to write beyond the knowledge level and more influenced by guessing. When constructing tests, each item should refer to one concept and avoid opinions, negatives, unfamiliar words, and patterns. Test takers should watch for long sentences, thoroughly read statements, and look for qualifiers.

- Questions should test higher-order thinking like analysis and evaluation, not just recall.
- Use simple language and precise wording in questions and avoid ambiguity.
- Place most of the question words in the stem rather than the answer options.
- All distractors or incorrect answers should seem plausible to avoid obvious correct answers.
- Avoid double negatives, trick questions, or answer options of vastly different lengths that could provide unintended clues.
The document discusses guidelines for writing different types of objective test items:
1. True-false, matching, and multiple choice items are commonly used selection item types. Suggestions are provided for writing each type to ensure items are unambiguous and test the intended objectives.

Designing Surveys to Determine the Impact of Online Social Networks #naspatech8nicolalritter
As the popularity of online social networking sites continues to grow with incoming students, higher education needs to have a better understanding of online social media tools. An understanding of how to design surveys is needed to determine the impact of online social networks on student’s social and academic interactions. Student affairs professionals spend considerable time analyzing, reporting, and discussing survey results. We often hear during these conversations, how do we ensure this information is accurate? Is this information generalizable? Is this information meaningful? Did we ask about student usage? Should we have asked about student perceptions of online social networks? How does online social networking impact students’ academic and social interactions on campus? Should we have asked about privacy? This presentation will address these questions and others by outlining the steps in survey development, posing areas to explore in online social networks, and engaging attendees in the survey construction process.

Additional tips include using mnemonics like acronyms and graphic organizers to remember information. The document gives advice for objective and essay exams, such as process of elimination techniques, reading exam questions carefully, and using a strategy called QUOTE to structure essay answers. Finally, it addresses test anxiety and provides relaxation techniques.
This document provides information about multiple choice tests:
- Multiple choice tests consist of stems presenting a problem or incomplete statement, followed by a set of options from which the test taker must select the correct answer. They are commonly used for educational and other types of assessments.
- Advantages include the ability to test a wide range of material efficiently. Disadvantages are that they are best for testing lower-order thinking skills and may be ambiguous.
- Guidelines for constructing high-quality multiple choice questions include basing each item on a clear problem, including relevant information in the stem, stating stems positively, writing alternatives clearly and concisely, and making alternatives mutually exclusive.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
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:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
