1.         In class, we discussed the observation that more kindergarteners born in the fall are diagnosed with ADHD than kindergarteners born in the spring.  Model One states that kids born in the fall are exposed to less sunlight and this lack of sunlight causes ADHD.  Model Two states that kids born in the fall are younger than kids born in the spring; therefore, their behavior is more likely to be diagnosed as ADHD even though they don’t actually have ADHD.  If we look at high school student who were born in the fall and high school students who were born in the spring, what will Model One predict regarding ADHD?

5.         When searching the Internet you should keep in mind...

            a. That you can find any information online if you just search long enough

b. That banner ads and chat rooms will often lead you to the best quality information

c. That because of copyright laws, nothing worthwhile is ever published on the Internet

            d. That not all online sources provide reliable information

6.         A good way to judge the usefulness of the content of a work is:

       a. Check to make sure it is addressed to a specialized audience

b. Make sure it uses only primary sources to make its argument

       c. Make sure there are no negative reviews of the work

       d. Scan the table of contents and the index to get an overview

7.     The first A in CRAAP stands for Authority.  Authority is important in judging the credibility of the author's assertions.  How do you know if an author is an authority on your topic?  What did the website you visited suggest?

What are the author’s credentials? Affiliated with education institution of prominent organization can share information about author

8.         Over the past thirty years, the minimum education requirements set by employers have increased significantly.  In particular, the proportion of jobs “requiring” a college degree has greatly increased.  Amy produced the following model: “The reason for this is that college graduates are smarter.”  In class and in the text, three rules of thumb for model building are discussed.  Of the three, which one explains best why this is a bad model?  Please explain.

9.         At a certain high school it is noted that a many of the students on the football team did poorly on a test.  The following model is built: “Football players are dumb.”  One of the rules of thumb is “Look for generality.”  Make the model more general (but don’t do much else – stay in the same line of thought – just make it more general).

10.       At a certain high school it is noted that a many of the students on the football team did poorly on a test.  The following model is built: “Football players are dumb.”  One of the rules of thumb is “Think process.”  Make the model have a sense of process.  (This may require a more radical change than question nine did.)
