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).

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.

The selected memories, nevertheless, both from her childhood and from Sally's do coalesce, or at least indicate a very clear thematic focus: primarily death, and, to a smaller extent, writing, creation, the power of words-two aspects where this book originates in: the trauma of death as a source of writing--and, as a result, as a means of creating one's self, the autobiographical subject, or the subject of this autobiography.

The carefully chosen memories of youth and the memories from Sally's childhood do merge and also point to death and writing as truly important themes in the book. According to Séllei (2009), the impact of death on an individual may serve "as a source of writing--and, as a result, as a means of creating one's self, the autobiographical subject, or the subject of this autobiography" (p. 175).

It is not expected that the aspects of a design case which excite the authors are precisely what reviewers see as the case's true points of merit. I was excited to write my design case because I felt it was novel, but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case. A design that is unusual or new forces the author to explain its complexity with more precision.

The newness of a design can pose challenges. Precisely explaining the complexity of a design becomes almost a requirement for the author when the design is unusual or innovative. For example, Howard (2011, p. 44) says "I was excited to write my design case because I felt it was novel, but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case".

Many physical education and health curricula have been developed to foster active, healthy lifestyles through various learning outcomes and objectives. Although such a goal may be desired and valued by our society, ways to achieve this goal are less understood. If elementary physical education is to assist children in developing skills and understanding that will serve as the foundation for future activities, then educators at all levels need to develop ways to foster these skills and understanding across numerous types of activities.

While society may broadly appreciate and desire educational objectives that can help people lead healthy lives, the exact approaches necessary to reach these desired outcomes are not well understood. Mandigo and Anderson (2003) highlight the need for educators "to develop ways to foster these skills and understandings across numerous types of activities" (p. 8) as an important step towards making this desire a reality.

The study of learning derives from essentially two sources. Because learning involves the acquisition of knowledge, the first concerns the nature of knowledge and how we come to know things.... The second source in which modern learning theory is rooted concerns the nature and representation of mental life.

Educational processes and systems are complex, and any attempt to measure them, especially at this level of aggregation, can only lead to broad and general discussions. However, we contend that this discussion is necessary. Further, attempting to measure global processes in education may provide another puzzle piece to theoreticians as well as national and local policy-makers, who are working at understanding and, in the latter case, steering educational systems.

After presenting their results the authors recognize that the nature of the data they have provided "can only lead to broad and general discussions" but also suggest "that this discussion is necessary" (Rutkowski & Rutkowski, 2009, p. 150).

There is a design methodology called rapid prototyping, which has been used successfully in software engineering. Given similarities between software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction.

Educational measurement and statistical analysis of results historically have tended to follow a pattern where variables are measured separately and then a mathematical model is chosen to portray the relationship among the variables.
References:
Frick, T. W. (1990). Analysis of patterns in time: A method of recording and quantifying temporal relations in education. American Educational Research Journal, 27(1), 180-204.
One has to be very careful when a mathematical model is chosen to portray the relationship among the variables because it can limit the relationships that you may be able to find. Research in the field of education has often taken the approach of measuring variables separately followed by examining the relationship between the variables using one of many mathematical models (Frick, 1990).

As a further example, APT queries and their results may be used to form rules for expert systems that become part of an intelligent computer-based instructional system. Such a system theoretically can optimize student learning by recommending instructional sequences (i.e., temporal patterns) that have high probabilities of resulting in student mastery. In other words, APT-based decision making by a computer program can provide an empirical foundation for artificial intelligence.
References:
Frick, T. W. (1990). Analysis of patterns in time: A method of recording and quantifying temporal relations in education. American Educational Research Journal, 27(1), 180-204.
One way that learning can be personalized is through the use of computers to aid in "recommending instructional sequences (i.e., temporal patterns) that have high probabilities of resulting in student mastery" (Frick, 1990, p. 202). However, the ability for computers to make appropriate decisions about instructional strategies is limited, in part, by the quality of information they have access to.

Of course, you could say that free will is an illusion anyway. If there really is a complete theory of physics that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being, and it involves a certain randomness due to quantum mechanical effects.
References:
Hawking, S., & Mlodinow, L. (2008). A briefer history of time (Reprint.). New York, NY: Bantam.
There is a connection between physics and free will. A comprehensive theory of physics that explains every single thing could, therefore, also be used to predict what you would do next. However, if such a theory was actually developed, it would be impossible to calculate the ways and extent it would impact how we think about humanity and ourselves.

Explanation / Answer
Plagiarism: Taking information or ideas from some other source and presenting it as one’s own work is known as plagiarism.
Types of plagiarism:
Word-for-Word Plagiarism: It is a kind of plagiarism where 7 or more words are taken in a series from an external source and the author fails to provide citation or any reference of the original source.
Paraphrasing plagiarism: Author takes a chunk of information and summarizes it; however he/she fails to provide the citation and reference of the original source.
Here, the material has the data from the original material and the student’s version of it, based on the above explanation the data can be analysed as follows:
Item 1: Paraphrasing plagiarism
Item 2: This is not considered as plagiarism (as the student has mentioned citation).
Item 3: This is not considered as plagiarism (as the student has mentioned citation).
Item 4: This is not considered as plagiarism (as the student has mentioned citation).
Item 5: This is not considered as plagiarism (as the student has mentioned citation).
