How did you go about completing this assignment? (What was the process for you?)Ģ. If she added these things into the directions and took out the others, then I would have a much better outcome after writing.ġ. Friedman could write in the directions that it had to be about a topic that I didn’t understand much. On the other hand, I was not able to easily complete the project being told to just add words in. Being in between a certain amount though was tough. I would even have a better outcome if I had to just have more than 200 words. Throughout the assignment I always had to stop writing and check the word count. Also, if it had to be about something that wasn’t explained much that would be better. A way I could accomplish that is by finding a part in the story that didn’t make sense to me, and add a verse about that into it.Ī way that this would be easier and more fun for me to do would be to make it not have a certain amount of words. I would make sure that it was important in the story and that the reader would remember it for later. It was a bunch of words that didn’t truly need to be there. The verse that I wrote was kind of just in the middle of two topics. If I were to do this project again in the future, I would add in a verse that mattered a little bit more. So adding a verse made it feel like there was extra words that didn’t need to be there. This troubled me because while reading the story there was a lot going on. Lastly, I had trouble with the fact that it had to seem like I didn’t write it, and it was in the story from the beginning.

It was very hard for me to have a certain amount of words because when I write I shouldn’t have to focus on a certain amount of words to add in. Some things that were difficult for me to accomplish was having a certain amount of words, writing in free verse, and having to make it so it fits into the story. While completing this assignment it was very tough for me. Friedman change the format or the directions of the assignment to help her students obtain a better outcome?

We were supposed to write it in free verse, and not list anything, but make it descriptive at the same time. The goal was for the reader to know about who I am and what I am like after reading it. When I wrote 'Who I Am,' I was told to write a poem about myself. After all of the hard research I did, I had to write an essay on it.Įxemplary English OR Other Subject Piece: Who I Am That topic was 'Is the affordable health care (Obama Care) effective? I had to find facts about why it wasn't effective and research it. It was a free verse story, so we had to write like that, and make it sound like the verse was actually in the story.Įxemplary English Piece: Obama Care Debateįor this assignment, I was given a partner, and then we had to research a topic.

Finally, we find that computerized tests marginally improve results.Before writing this assignment, my class read a book called 'Yellow Star'.

We find that there is a negative correlation between being female and the overall, and individual, correct answers to CRT questions. Here we report the results of a meta-study of 118 Cognitive Reflection Test studies comprising of 44,558 participants across 21 countries. However, little is known about if the test is gender biased, whether incentives matter or how different implementation procedures impact outcomes. Experiments have shown its usefulness in predicting behavior. The use of the Cognitive Reflection Test as a covariate to explain behavior in Economics and Psychology experiments has significantly increased in the past few years.
