The Psychology of Chess Skill

The Psychology of Chess Skill

Both chess play and psychological research offer rewards to their participants in the form of intellectual satisfaction. It seems to follow that combining these two forms of activity by carrying out research into chess play should be a particularly engaging enterprise. In the mid-1980s enough was now known for it to be feasible to tell a reasonably satisfying story by piecing together the accumulated results of experiments on chess. There were remaining gaps in knowledge but the structure of chess skill had at least become sufficiently evident to exhibit where the gaps lay. Originally published in 1985 this book was an attempt to summarize the progress that had been made at the time recounting some of the components of the research process while describing how the chessplayer seems to think imagine and decide. | The Psychology of Chess Skill

Improving Student Learning at Scale A How-To Guide for Higher Education

Improving Student Learning at Scale A How-To Guide for Higher Education

This book is a step-by-step guide for improving student learning in higher education. The authors argue that a fundamental obstacle to improvement is that higher educators administrators and assessment professionals do not know how to improve student learning at scale. By this they mean improvement efforts that span an entire program affecting all affiliated students. The authors found that faculty and administrators particularly struggle to conceptualize and implement multi-section multi-course improvement efforts. It is unsurprising that ambitious wide-reaching improvement efforts like these would pose difficulty in their organization and implementation. This is precisely the problem the authors address. The book provides practical strategies for learning improvement enabling faculty to collaborate and integrating leadership social dynamics curriculum pedagogy assessment and faculty development. In Chapter 2 the authors tell a program-level improvement story from the perspective of a faculty member. Chapter 3 inverts Chapter 2. Beginning from the re-assess stage the authors work their way back to the individual faculty member first pondering whether she can do something to impact students’ skills. They peel back each layer of the process and imagine how learning improvement efforts might be thwarted at each stage. Chapters 4 through 9 dig deeper into the learning improvement steps introduced in Chapters 2 and 3. Each chapter provides strategies to help higher educators climb each step successfully. Chapter 10 paints a picture of what higher education could look like in 2041 if learning improvement were embraced. And finally Chapter 11 describes what you can do to support the movement. | Improving Student Learning at Scale A How-To Guide for Higher Education

How To Write A Horror Movie

How To Write A Horror Movie

How to Write a Horror Movie is a close look at an always-popular (but often disrespected) genre. It focuses on the screenplay and acts as a guide to bringing scary ideas to cinematic life using examples from great (and some not-so-great) horror movies. Author Neal Bell examines how the basic tools of the scriptwriter’s trade - including structure dialogue humor mood characters and pace – can work together to embody personal fears that will resonate strongly on screen. Screenplay examples include classic works such as 1943’s I Walked With A Zombie and recent terrifying films that have given the genre renewed attention like writer/director Jordan Peele’s critically acclaimed and financially successful Get Out. Since fear is universal the book considers films from around the world including the ‘found-footage’ [REC] from Spain (2007) the Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In (2008) and the Persian-language film Under The Shadow (2016). The book provides insights into the economics of horror-movie making and the possible future of this versatile genre. It is the ideal text for screenwriting students exploring genre and horror and aspiring scriptwriters who have an interest in horror screenplays.
