...course, these and other measures will not solve every problem. Knowing this, the committee suggests a new method for resolving complaints of misconduct. A system for resolving disputes should be institutionalized, as it would be beneficial for everyone if fair and transparent response mechanisms regularly resolved conflicts. The HUPD could be certain they were using the best possible practices and the community could see to it that complaints were properly resolved. So, the committee recommends that the first response to a complaint from a Harvard affiliate be an internal departmental investigation. Such investigations should be systematically conducted in response...
...important to remember that faculty and teaching fellows also welcome feedback. Indeed, it is a critical component of improving the quality of teaching here at Harvard, especially in departments where large classes are common, like economics and government. As such, we view this new system as a much-needed method of improving student participation rates, which have been less than optimal for many classes (including both huge lecture courses and small seminars). In particular, we hope that, by providing a powerful incentive to those students who are most concerned for their grade in a class, professors and other teaching staff...
...most crucial question facing the company, however, is quite basic: does Rosetta Stone actually work? The company's teaching method is called "dynamic immersion," in which users are taught a new language through images, text, and sound. There is neither translation nor grammar explanations. You learn by listening to people talk in the language you're trying to master, and by reading words on a screen. The images clue you into the meaning of the words. The system eschews rote memorization - Rosetta Stone promises you'll learn a second language in the same way a child learns...
...grammatical awareness, as well as English explanation," says Ferriss, whose book, The 4-Hour Workweek, is currently eighth on the New York Times business best-seller list. "The idea that you can learn honorific speech in Japanese without English explanation, for example, is, to me, handicapping. Rosetta Stone's method is effective. But it shouldn't be positioned as perfect...
...happened on the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s discovery.” At the Center, many scientists are heavily involved with exoplanet research. Harvard astrophysicists have developed one of the most “exciting” techniques in the search for exoplanets, known as the transit method, which is currently being utilized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Kepler Mission, Sasselov said. NASA’s Kepler telescope is designed to find Earth-like planets around other stars. “Harvard is very much involved [with Kepler], providing the scientific backing...
