Which of the following scenarios would a middle-aged adult who has recently returned to college most likely perform the best in? In a basic algebra course where there is not too much discussion of the concepts and their meaning. In a class where the instructor assigns homework at random and gives vague instructions to keep the students on their toes. In a class where the student is learning information that applies directly to their career field. In a class where there is plenty of technology utilized to supplement the course material.

A mathematics teacher divides her students into small groups. She gives each group a simple linear equation and asks the group to come up with a scenario that matches the equation. She then has the groups share their scenarios with the class and encourages feedback on ways the equation describes the scenario. Which of the following is the teacher demonstrating with this activity? a) an understanding of estimation and its appropriate uses b) an understanding of the structural properties common to the mathematical disciplines c) an understanding of a variety of questioning strategies to encourage mathematical discourse and to help students analyze and evaluate their mathematical thinking d) the application of correct mathematical reasoning to derive valid conclusions from a set of premises

Many different kinds of problems arise in daily life. Based on your own experiences, or those of a typical college student, give an example of a problem that is likely to benefit from formal operational thinking. Then explain why a logical answer to this problem is most appropriate. 2. Dialectical thinking involves the constant integration of one's beliefs and experiences with the contradictions and inconsistencies of everyday life. Give an example of the use of dialectical thinking in your own life, or that of a typical college student. 3. One theme of this chapter is that cognitive development is often propelled by critical life experiences. Describe one life experience that strongly influenced your own cognitive development. Alternatively, explain why being a stepparent or adopting a child might lead to cognitive growth. 4. Imagine that you are a religious leader attempting to convince the members of your congregation to become more involved in their community's religious life. What kind of appeal might be most effective with members at Fowler's stage of 'mythic-literal faith' with members at the stage of 'individual-reflective faith'?

Students will get 0.53 points less when they missed one more class. Students' average grade is about 95 if they did not miss any classes. QUESTION 29 Questions 21 to 31 are based on the following example. Among 25 students taking a sociology course, it is found that there is a linear association between the number of missed classes and exam grades (measured as points, ranging from 0 to 100). Pearson’s r for this association is equal to -0.53, and the regression equation is Y = 95 - 5.5*X. If this class is a random sample of all students at a university, it is possible to test whether the negative association between these two variables exists in the population of all university students (̑=0.01). 29. If we want to know the average grade for students who missed 3 classes, which of the following calculations is correct? A. 95-5.5*3 B. -0.53*3 C. -5.5*3 D. 95-0.53*3
