The introductory program will still focus on practical application of learned material, of course, but it will seek to establish strength in basic topics including Bayesian Thinking, Matrices, C++ Basics, Performance and Modeling, Algorithmic Thinking, and Computer Vision to name a few.
Here, we will focus on practical applications of phylogenetics, expanding on one example referenced in another article in this issue (Wiley 2010) and introducing selected additional examples ripe for deployment in classrooms.
This course will involve substantial writing, and will use case-study methodology to introduce both societal and personal ethical principles, with a focus on practical applications.
Much of what the others teach seems to focus on practical applications: the use of money, the effect of sales taxes, the budgeting of hard-earned cash to pay for things you want.
In this section, biological and photochemical methods for rationally designing and developing activatable fluorescence imaging probes are reviewed with a focus on practical applications of molecular imaging to detecting inflammation and cancer.
Not surprisingly, the projects focus on practical applications, but students use academic-style, fundamental research to solve problems, "with a goal that in 2 or 3 or 5 years you're going to be answering important questions," says Donohue.
By 2000, however, the "Rasch wars" were essentially over (McNamara and Knoch [2012]), with abstract technical debates over theoretical models being replaced by a pragmatic focus on practical applications (Bachman [2000]), especially adaptive testing using computer technology (Bailey [1999]).
