On Convex Complexity Measures (Draft — do not distribute!)

چکیده
Khrapchenko’s classical lower bound n on the formula size of the parity function f can be interpreted as designing a suitable measure of subrectangles of the combinatorial rectangle f−1(0)× f−1(1). Trying to generalize this approach we arrived at the concept of convex measures. We prove the negative result that convex measures are bounded by O(n) and show that several measures considered for proving lower bounds on the formula size are convex. We also prove quadratic upper bounds on a class of measures that are not necessarily convex.

Grading, no longer an obstacle to learners’ attendance to teacher feedback
Learners are often reported not to be motivated enough to attend to teacher feedback. Teachers also tend to grade learners’ writing samples when providing them with corrective feedback though they know it may divert their attention away from teacher feedback. However, not grading learner writings does not seem to be an option due to both learners’ demands for it and ins...
متن کاملMotivating the Unmotivated: Making Teacher Corrective Feedback Work
It is often wrongly assumed that the provision of teacher corrective feedback naturally entails learners' attendance to and application of it, but learners have repeatedly been reported not to pay attention to teacher feedback due to lack of motivation and the distracting effect of the grades they receive. The present study was an attempt to tackle this problem. To do so, the technique named Dr...
متن کاملLanguage Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency in Different Types of Writing Paragraph: Do the Raters Notice Such Effect
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of two types of paragraph on EFL learners’ written production. It addressed the issue of how three aspects of language production (i.e. complexity, accuracy, and fluency) vary among two types of paragraphs (i.e. paragraphs of chronology and cause-effect) written by EFL learners. Thirty intermediate level learners of English participate...
