The district now plans its own assessments, including student presentations, written accounts of experiments and multiple-choice tests, that can show whether claims made for kit-based instruction have merit.
The presentation included selections from more than a thousand pages of Iranian computer simulations and accounts of experiments that, according to the American officials, showed a longstanding effort to design what appeared to be a nuclear warhead or similar "re-entry vehicle".
This essentially descriptive natural history treatment is supplemented with accounts of experiments by Cott and others.
Even more, the department in charge of drugs prohibition says it will take account of the experiments in the legal regulation of cannabis in Washington, Colorado and Uruguay.
After The Times published the account of those experiments and their impact across the globe (he has acolytes from India to Iraq), Professor Lewin, who is 71, was deluged with requests to go on television.
By the time CBS broadcast the show on Nov. 12, along with a news account of the experiments that appeared in that morning's New York Times, West's professed desire for openness looked like something entirely different: a bid to leverage "me too" publicity for his otherwise unknown company.
I am concerned that other engagements have prevented me from giving to the Royal Society, before their recess, a complete account of my experiments on the electricity of the torpedo; a subject not only serious in itself, but opening a large field of interesting inquiry, both to the electrician in his walk of physics, and to all who consider, particularly or generally, the animal oeconomy.
A comprehensive account of the experiments designed to test the model is presented.
This account of thought experiments can be further developed by linking the a priori epistemology to accounts of laws of nature that hold that laws are relations among objectively existing abstract entities.
This does not impress proponents of what we call an intuition-based account of thought experiments, and probably for good reasons, given the problems in Williamson's approach (see, e.g., Ichikawa and Jarvis, 2009).
