Participant motivation to engage in these activities can also be enhanced by providing students with an opportunity to help generate the solutions to tactical problems that exist within net/wall games and have input into game creation. The principles provide a framework of tactical solutions that range from simple to complex (i.e., tactical complexity) and promote understanding of these solutions through creating games that exaggerate their importance and relevance in game settings.

If tactics don’t matter and a game is all about pure physical skill, it can become rather boring. The tactical dynamic, especially between players, can lead to unexpected outcomes as a result of player innovation. Furthermore, giving players an opportunity to contribute to creating solutions to problems that are tactical in net/wall games can contribute to enhancing player engagement.

We considered a number of methods for measuring similarity between countries with respect to their mathematics attainment. A simple comparison of scale scores over time was rejected as this would limit the investigation to asking how much respondents from a country know on a given topic. Instead, we chose an item-level analysis that allows for a closer examination of what respondents in a given country know and how this compares to other countries.

We came up with several methods for assessing how closely related two classes were with regards to their reading ability. A straightforward contrasting of test scores was deemed unacceptable since this would make it challenging to determine what reading strengths students from a specific class had. We decided, instead, to focus on answers to specific test questions to be able to see how students in a particular class stacked up against other classes with respect to the particular test question.https://www.indiana.edu/~academy/firstPrinciples/hints.html

Pei is popularly known for the controversy surrounding his Grand Louvre Pyramid (1988), constructed in the courtyard of the Louvre (fig. 25.21). The Pyramid deliberately turns the tradition and concept of pyramid inside out. A pyramid is supposed to be solid, dark, and solitary–a mesmerizing symbol of the exotic world beyond the streets and cultures of Europe.

One of the great wonders of the world are the pyramids of Egypt. These pyramids have become a mesmerizing symbol of the exotic world beyond the streets and cultures of Europe and the embodiment of associations with the pyramid shape which is supposed to be “solid, dark, and solitary” (Arnason, 2003, p. 667)

Arnason (2003) describes Pei’s Grand Louvre Pyramid as playing with traditional notions of what a pyramid should be: “solid, dark, and solitary– a mesmerizing symbol of the exotic world beyond the streets and cultures of Europe” (p. 667). In this way, the pyramid approach serves both functional and aesthetic purposes.

It is possible to travel to the future. That is, relativity shows that it is possible to create a time machine that will jump you forward in time. You step into the time machine, wait, step out, and find that much more time has passed on the earth than has passed for you. We do not have the technology today to do this, but it is just a matter of engineering: we know it can be done.
The possibilities that science suggests often provide the inspiration for science fiction authors. For example, the theory of relativity shows that it is possible to create a time machine that will jump you forward in time has no doubt spurred people to consider the implications that this possibility would have for society.https://www.indiana.edu/~academy/firstPrinciples/hints.html

Attributes of rigorous research can be shared across subjects of study. For example, Collins and Porras (2002) highlight the importance of having a control group when comparing companies in any effort to identify what specific company characteristics are able to distinguish the successful from the ordinary.https://www.indiana.edu/~academy/firstPrinciples/hints.html

Seeing the reasons would help me know that the suggestions have been thought through (even if I don’t always agree with them).

Remember the Grudgers of Chapter 10. These were birds that helped each other in an apparently altruistic way, but refused to help – bore a grudge against – individuals that had previously refused to help them. Grudgers came to dominate the population because they passed on more genes to future generations than either Suckers (who helped others indiscriminately, and were exploited) or Cheats (who tried ruthlessly to exploit everybody and ended up doing each other down).
References: Dawkins, R. (1989). The selfish gene (3rd ed.). Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.
In the example, three categories of behavior are identified: Cheats, Suckers, and Grudgers. Cheats attempted ruthlessly to take advantage of everybody. Suckers aided others without discrimination, and were taken advantage of. The behavior of Grudgers they replicated accurately was a bit more complex.
