Telling someone to read a book is still probably expecting too much of them. An online article is pretty much the limit, and it’s even better if you can tell the other person what you want them to learn in your own words. Referencing a book is good, though.
Cheers Manfred, Hopefully I’ve given a glimpse of how one can apply and test for deep learning… and if I a “lowly” first year undergrad in education can do it, seems it’s probably not that hard. [smirk]
I’m getting a few mixed signals from the site, and that’s to be expected.
Some want high detail, others want little. Some will downgrade me for restating something that’s been said, others don’t seem to be downgraded for saying something that’s common knowledge. I’ll get the hang of it. I’m well aware that joining an internet site/forum/community involves some amount of fitting in, some amount of taking hits cause you’re the new guy or just aren’t getting it, and some amount of adjusting to the norms, indeed some good old fashion relationship building too.
I was hoping this might be a place where solutions are discussed more than problems are complained about. Perhaps that’s true and I just haven’t discovered it yet, don’t know.
I remain open minded and am working my way through the sequences, they’re good reading.
Disconfirmation bias—love that concept and discovered it on lesswrong, hadn’t found that one in the Social Psych or Education Psych textbook yet. Even if I get too peeved off and leave to never return, LW will be remembered fondly for that one concept alone.
