...other recommendations, one seeking to soften the language with which ROTC is presented in the student handbook, and another to allow official ROTC color guards at more Harvard events did not pass...
...part of campus life. “Hazing is a complex problem,” she said. “Different people, depending on where they fit, are going to see it differently.” Last spring, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences changed Harvard’s Handbook for Students to hold student officers responsible for any hazing that occurs within their ranks. All student officers—even those responsible for non-affiliated clubs—must register with the College under the new policy. The policy has met with mixed reviews from group leaders...
...article implies that enrollments are tumbling across the life sciences. In fact, the opposite is true. Using data published in the Handbook for Students and the latest concentration declaration figures, we have calculated that the total number of students enrolled in the life sciences concentrations has been increasing over recent years. In 2001-02, for example, 658 students were enrolled in Biochemical Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, and Biological Anthropology; currently 850 students are enrolled in Biochemical Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Biological Anthropology, Chemical & Physical Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and Human Evolutionary Biology. In addition, another 56 students...
...jumps - one of the riskiest and most demanding parts of figure-skating routines. Skaters in a second tier, who were just as experienced in terms of years, spent only 48% of their time on jumps, and they rested more often. As Deakin and her colleagues write in the Cambridge Handbook, "All skaters spent considerably more time practicing jumps that already existed in their repertoire and less time on jumps they were attempting to learn." In other words, we like to practice what we know, stretching out in the warm bath of familiarity rather than stretching our skills. Those who overcome...
...Cambridge Handbook concludes that great performance comes mostly from deliberate practice but also from another activity: regularly obtaining accurate feedback. In a 1997 study published in the journal Medical Decision Making, researchers found that only 4% of interns had known a group of elderly patients for more than a week; by comparison, nearly half the highly experienced attending physicians had known the patients for more than six months. But even with the advantages of years of medical experience and months of knowing the patients, the attending physicians were no more accurate than the interns at predicting the patients...
