Tiered tutoring in physiology

Peer tutoring improves student performance in an advanced physiology course.

Effectiveness of a peer tutoring system developed for an advanced physiology course was assessed in terms of academic performance and perceived value. Forty-five students took the course without the peer tutoring system, and sixty-nine students took the course with peer tutoring. Grades from both groups of students were compared with grades earned in an introductory physiology course. Tutored s...

Tutoring Process in Emotionally Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Research has shown that emotions can influence learning in situations when students have to analyze, reason, make conclusions, apply acquired knowledge, answer questions, solve tasks, and provide explanations. A number of research groups inspired by the close relationship between emotions and learning have been working to develop emotionally intelligent tutoring systems. Despite the research ca...

Running head: TUTORING Meta-knowledge in Tutoring

Tiered Recursion and Strategies

The purpose of this paper is to stress the need for strategies in the framework of term-rewriting analysis of complexity classes. Independently our results can be conceived as a simplification and clarification of the results obtained in [6]. In particular, we introduce a new path order ≺pop for polynomial time computable functions, such that for a finite rewrite system R compatible with ≺pop, ...

Maximum Entropy Tiered Tagging

Data sparseness in tagging highly inflectional languages with large tagsets and scarce training resources is a problem that cannot be addressed using only common tagging techniques. Tiered tagging is a two-stage technique that uses for tagging a smaller ”hidden” tagset and, in the second phase, recovers the original tagset using a lexicon and a set of hand-written rules. The recovering is possi...
