Whenever, in the development of any particular science there has
been a misapprehension of its appropriate sphere, and especially
when wrong principles have been introduced in development, a
reconstruction of the whole science is of course demanded. The
following treatise has been prepared in view of the assumption,
that both these defects exist in important forms in the common
treatises on this subject. Every one is aware, that any given
intellectual process having for its object the establishment of
truth, may fail of its end for one or more of the three following
reasons: 1. The process may be based throughout upon a
misconception of the subject treated of. 2. Invalid premises may be
introduced as the basis of conclusions deduced. 3. Or there may be
a want of connection between the premises and the conclusions
deduced from them. All are equally aware, also, that every valid
process is not only free from each of these defects, but possessed
of the opposite excellences. In examining any such process, then,
three questions are or should be always put, to wit: Has the author
rightly apprehended his subject? Are the premises sound? Is there a
valid connection between the premises and conclusions? In answering
such questions, everyone feels the need of valid criteria by which
he can determine whether the process is or is not valid in each of
these particulars, and in one no less than in either of the others.
The following treatise has been prepared upon the assumption, that
the true and proper sphere of logic is to furnish all these
different criteria, and thus to meet in full the real logical
necessities of the human mind. ASA MAHAN (1799-1889) was America's
foremost Christian educator, reformer, philosopher, and pastor. He
was founding president of two colleges and one university, where he
was able to inspire numerous reforms, publish authoritative
philosophical texts, and promote powerful revivals like his close
associate Charles Finney. He led the way on all important fronts
while being severely persecuted. He introduced the new curriculum
later adopted by Harvard, was the first to instruct and grant
liberal college degrees to white and colored women, advised Lincoln
during the Civil War, and among many other remarkable achievements,
was a father to the early evangelical and holiness movements.
A student-friendly introduction to undertaking a TESOL/Applied
Linguistics MA which features practical advice, exercises and
answer keys making it ideal for postgraduate students studying in
this area. The book is very practical in nature and online support
material features recordings of lectures so students can practise
their listening skills in real-world scenarios which is essential
given the continuing focus on online teaching. Written by a teacher
with over 30 years’ experience of teaching EFL students and
featuring material that has been trialled with students, this book
will meet and support the needs of international students on MAs in
TESOL and Applied Linguistics.
The investigation of the interactions between human and physical
systems poses unique conceptual, methodological, and practical
challenges. This book establishes a spatial science framework for
policymakers, social scientists, and environmental researchers as
they explore and analyze complex problems. The authors provide
guidance for scientists, writers, and students across a broad range
of fields on how to tackle discipline-specific issues of space,
place, and scale as they propose and conduct research in the
spatial sciences. This practical textbook and overview blends
plenty of concrete examples of spatial research and case studies to
familiarize readers with the research process, demystifying and
illustrating how it is actually done. The appendix contains both
completed and in-progress proposals for MA and PhD theses and
dissertations, as well as successful research grants. By
emphasizing research as a learning and experiential process, while
providing students with the encouragement and skills needed for
success in proposal writing, "Research Design and Proposal Writing
in Spatial Science" can serve as a textbook for research-design or
project-based courses at the upper-division undergraduate and
graduate level.
This study work guide has been compiled to help learners understand and grasp
all aspects of the novel and use of language in Finders Keepers, the prescribed
novel for Grade 10 English First Additional Language. This study work guide has
been compiled to the requirements of CAPS and all important aspects relating to
the novel have been covered – in accessible language. The story is about Lufuno
leaving Jozi to start a new life in Cape Town. She is bullied at school because of
her Venda heritage. She develops a friendship with a Xhosa chief's son.
This study work guide forms part of a series. It is not only a guide in which the
novel is discussed, but also a workbook in which learners can make notes. This
provides revision for exams and tests. This study work guide supplements the
prescribed text Finders Keepers.
The answers to all questions are available on www.bestbooks.co.za.
This book explores the concept of the 'hidden curriculum' within
doctoral education. It highlights the unofficial channels of
genuine learning typically acquired by doctoral students
independent of the physical and metaphorical walls of academia. The
doctorate is a huge and complex undertaking which requires a range
of support beyond academic foundations. The exchange between
official and hidden curricula is therefore key, not just for
achieving the qualification, but to also achieve transformative
growth. This book offers a framework for a 'doctoral learning
ecology model' to scaffold learning and sustain wellbeing by
leveraging both formal and hidden curricula. This illuminating book
will be of interest and value to doctoral researchers, supervisors,
and mentors.
Project management as a discipline has experienced near-exponential
growth in its application across the business and not-for-profit
sectors. This original, authoritative guide provides both
practitioner and student researchers with a complete guide to
research practice on project management. In Designs, Methods and
Practices for Research of Project Management, Beverly Pasian has
brought together original chapters from a veritable who's who of
project management research including authors such as Harvey
Maylor, Christophe Bredillet, Derek Walker, Miles Shepherd, Janice
Thomas, Naomi Brookes and Darren Dalcher. The collection looks at
research strategy, management, methodology, techniques as well as
emerging topics such as social network analysis. The 38 chapters
offer an international perspective with examples from a wide range
of project management applications; engineering, construction,
mega-projects, high-risk environments and social transformation.
Each chapter includes tips and exercises for the research student,
as well as a complete set of further references.
Working independently does not mean going it alone: be guided
through the Extended Project from start to finish and every stage
in between. Written by Christine Andrews, who has extensive
experience of EPQs, this step-by-step course companion will help
you to: - Tackle every stage, including choosing a topic and
planning your time, developing your project and keeping a log, and
delivering the presentation and evaluating your finished product. -
Make the most of opportunities to practise the skills required,
with activities you can adapt as necessary. - Get inspired with a
wealth of examples from different types of projects. - Develop
effective strategies to avoid common pitfalls. - Create a project
you can be proud of - one you can use in your personal statement,
to make your university application stand out. Also available are
PowerPoint presentations and a scheme of work put together by the
author to facilitate the 30 hours of taught content. The
presentation and scheme of work are not part of the AQA approval
process.
