The building manager decides to hire a work crew to come in and try and speed up the elevators, but unfortunately they tell him it isn't possible.The construction won't be finished for another few months, so he needs to figure out how to get the elevators to work faster. It is starting to stress him out and the residents are getting more annoyed.On the day that the construction crew bring in the mirrors for the apartments on level 11, he notices that he receives no complaints. The complaints start up again the next day, but oddly when the mirrors are delivered for level 12 there are no complaints either.The manager suddenly realizes how he can reduce the number of complaints and installs mirrors next to the elevators on each floor.

Imagine that you are taking a course in Landscape Architecture. As part of the course you need to give a 10 minute group presentation on sustainable design for urban parks. The presentation needs to include:A definition of sustainable design for urban parksThe principles for sustainable designThree examples of sustainable design for urban parksAn analysis of each of the example parks in relation to the principlesThere are four people in your group: you, James, Rie and Ali.Consider the example answer from Question 5: "One person does one of each for the four points. For example, James writes the definition, you write the principles, Rie finds the examples and Ali writes an analysis for each of Rie's examples. You come together at the end and make the presentation. "Is this a good distribution of tasks?Refer to lesson 5.3a and 5.3bCheck one option.

No. The tasks are not evenly weighted: there is a lot more involved in analyzing something than there is in finding an example.

Consider the following argument:The Artape people have lived on the island of Staples for between 20,000 and 31,000 years. Anumber of archaeological sites have been radiocarbon dated to around 20,000 BC. They are thoughtto have migrated across from Africa on land bridges that existed before the last ice age. Movementbetween the main land and Staples across these land bridges was quite common. Archaeologicalevidence, such as oral stories, rock pictures and some ancient fossils, suggests that the Stalerpeople, the ancestors of the Artape, used the island for hunting from as far back as 31,000 BC.However, there is no evidence of settlement or continuous habitation of the island until around25,000 BC, when evidence of temporary camps starts. It is not until 20,000 BC that we start to seeevidence of permanent dwellings.

Consider the following methodology, which can be considered an argument field.Conversation analysis is a well-defined method and school of thought that analyses language from asocial perspective. It seeks to study naturally occurring talk, either in everyday conversations orinstitutional settings such as schools and organizations. Any conversation analysis must be strictlybased on the actual conversation, and outside categories (such as the race or class of the speaker)cannot be imposed unless they are referred to in the conversation being analyzed. Conversationanalysts seek to find out what actions are performed by speakers in conversation (e.g. telling stories,making arrangements), and how they organize their talk in order to do that. They use a special modeof analysis to understand how actions are performed in talk called the next turn proof procedure. Inthis procedure, the action of the speaker is understood by examining how the following speakerunderstood them. When discussing the organization of talk, conversation analysts use terms such asturns, sequence organization and repair (how speakers fix errors in their talk).When thinking about Conversation Analysis as an argument field, what is a specialized process ofthought?Check one option.

93 People lived on the island of Staples as far back as 19,000 BC. Man-made artifacts have been foundat a number of archaeological sites. These man-made artifacts have been carbon dated to 19,000BC. For example, a partial leg bone of a juvenile marsupial herbivore was discovered at one of thesites. This partial leg bone has been sharpened into a bone point. There is clear evidence of sharpstone tools being used to refine the bone, which were also found at the site. The fossil has nocarnivore tooth marks on it and was found in a shelter on a steep escarpment unsuitable for climbingby this kind of marsupial herbivore. Only humans have the capability and dexterity to make and usethese kinds of tools. This leg bone tool, therefore, was made by humans. This serves as evidencethat humans lived on the island of Staples as far back as 19,000 BC. **Fictional historical accountWhat kind of formal reasoning is being used in this example?Check one option.

Consider the following post on a reflection/debate forum in an Education subject.Discussion question: What is your view on Vygotsky's notion of the zone of proximal development? Can you relate it to any examples in your own life?Student 109573: I think Vygotsky's (1930) notion of proximal development is a great way to understand education and how we might better support learning. It also moves away from a very individual or cognitive notion of education towards a more social model. It also gives greater importance to the role of teachers or other experts in children's development compared to other thinkers such as Piaget (1926), where the emphasis is much more on the individual development of the child. It is also certainly evident in my life, particularly in learning Chinese. I grew up in a large country town with almost no Chinese people in it, so I was unable to learn Chinese naturally. However my Chinese high school teacher effectively scaffolded my Chinese language learning so that I took it as subject in my university entrance exams. Without that scaffolding I would never have reached that level of use or expertise.Is the discussion board entry well-written? Why or why not?(Refer to 5.4d)Check one option

However, we have an important game on Saturday with the no. 1 team, and because of this we will have a late training session the night before. The training session will run late, and I have never been good at waking up early, so I will need to sleep in. As a result I will be late to the tutorial. If there's anything important that I will miss, could you please let me know somehow. Thank you for your understanding.Best regards,KostaIs the email well-written?
