aed606d9d926 | E6F8E5374615 | So if you confused on something the computer could help or figure it out for you . I think its good because if the teacher is helping another students work the computer could help the kids or whoever.
| Evidence | Adequate |
431236a4580a | E6F8E5374615 | So I think it will be good for students to get a smart computer like that so when you do need help like that or feeling disgusted or fearful the computer will help. | Claim | Adequate |
578326dc7e5e | E6F8E5374615 | Like on her last asignment she could feel not knowing how to do things .Then you can calculate emotions like the math homework . In the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face in if you dont know how to work a app it will show you . | Evidence | Ineffective |
87d287621c10 | E6F8E5374615 | But one reason why I dont know about it because one day you can be mad in not let no one know . Or want somebody to know whats going on with you. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
1dc269da78ed | E6F8E5374615 | So I think thats probably one reason . Then you might not want help or want people seeing your emotion even the teacher. so thats the reason I probably would'nt get on the computer for that reason or some people probably just dont like the setting to it or probably want think its useful.. | Evidence | Adequate |
7e4968c139e3 | E6F8E5374615 | But last I think its valuable in someways in school or at home . Sometimes people dont know whats wrong with they body. They can get right on the computer in so the computer could tell them like your despress or things like thats | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
05e2aa751b15 | E6F8E5374615 | I think its a good learning envoirment for the kids in grown ups . So thats some reason why I thi nk its valuable. | Position | Adequate |
1005c7fd3386 | E7111F690B98 | I agree with the principal and most people just hang around and dont do any work | Position | Adequate |
ec593f9535ef | E7111F690B98 | Kids need to start being more happy and play sports and enjoy life | Claim | Adequate |
9d54b7e04f33 | E7111F690B98 | At certain schools around the world Students act bad and just act up in general at school, and teachers dont seem to do things about it. If kids played sports more the school would gain a good reputaion. Sports are always fun, more people need to get there gets in sports like how the schools wants them too
I believe that we should have all schools make kids certain sports, in certain times of the day. Like In elementary school you have gym after a class. We should tell parents that would want there kids to do activities that they would enjoy. If we had Students playing sports everyday then lots of people would be happy, plus who doesn't like to have fun once in awhile | Evidence | Adequate |
e984f7454562 | E7111F690B98 | If you wanna get on to the yearbook you need to be good in class and have good grades. | Claim | Adequate |
aa921547f1af | E7111F690B98 | If you do good things like help the teacher out they might take a picture and post you on there, saying something like "This person helped me do something difficult". | Evidence | Ineffective |
d5b9dbdcc532 | E7111F690B98 | In order to be a student councilor, you need to understand others in a way that you can help them if they need it. | Claim | Adequate |
a283dbe167e3 | E7111F690B98 | Also you need to be a decent person and very understanding. Some kids may come if they need someone to talk to or are having trouble at home. As a student councilor you have very many responsabities such as caring and helping others when they need you. | Evidence | Adequate |
9a3eeb350673 | E7111F690B98 | In our future we should all be happy and enjoy life. Schools should let students play sports and be a councilor or be in the year book. Parents should let there kids be a little more free. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
b1159451e9f4 | E71135F11EE0 | Do you think its is a good idea to limit car usage? Well i do | Position | Adequate |
0ed5a128c27e | E71135F11EE0 | more people now a days just have completely stop caring about the enviornment. | Claim | Adequate |
593eca4d56dd | E71135F11EE0 | I say this because more and more people are getting these big trucks and they are not realizing that when that truck starts it is letting out bad gases that harms our atmosphear. | Evidence | Adequate |
f95d7ee6baba | E71135F11EE0 | I read that people are now getting fines in Columbia because of there cars and right now i think that's a good idea | Evidence | Adequate |
8e87b718694d | E71135F11EE0 | people are just down right lazy and they need to get up and go exercise, | Claim | Adequate |
33f4634900c1 | E71135F11EE0 | president Obama has abitious goals to curb the united states greenhouse gas emission. I know that it will work out because I read that peopel think that america is pass the car age or what ever and that more and more people are starting to do whats right and start walking and riding bikes.
| Evidence | Adequate |
d365a68f7af4 | E71135F11EE0 | Now I have also read that Car compinies are suffering from that one day without cars thing because i think they fear that people might love the day without cars so much,that they just might stop buying them. Car componies are also suffering because I read that more and more people are becoming unemployed or they just cant affored it so they take alternet ways to get to where they have to go and they just dont worry about it. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
f5b74cfef88e | E71135F11EE0 | These are some of the reasons why i think it is a good idea that we should limit the usage in this world because there are so many pro's and cons on why its a good/bad idea. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
f5f10c0a1ad7 | E743F9AC8BBE | The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students is valuable | Position | Adequate |
ba92da432154 | E743F9AC8BBE | It is valuable because in this passage "Making Mona Lisa Smile" in paragraph six it gives the example of computers more specefically classroom computers and what could be possible for education some years down the road to improve students learning | Claim | Adequate |
f63c3d3b9be9 | E743F9AC8BBE | In paragraph six we get evidence from "Dr. Huang" telling us how this could possibly be like a good human instructor like a teacher. The evidence proving this comes from "Dr. Huang" himself he says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." basically "Dr. Huang" is saying of course down the road in the future a classroom computer can recognize students emotion and make constant changes to the students lesson on the computer to make a effective lesson like an actual human teacher. Thus proving that this technology to read a students expressions in a classroom is valuable.
| Evidence | Adequate |
d1341fa0e788 | E743F9AC8BBE | Another example proving that the use of this technology to read a students expressions in the classroom is valuable because in education there is alot of classes and alot of technology classes you can chose from one of the many technology based classes is Web Design | Claim | Adequate |
ee77007ee0ba | E743F9AC8BBE | Again in paragraph six we could see a huge increase in technology more specfically animated faces. For instance in paragraph six we get evidence of how the same technology can make computer animated faces alot more expressive. Here is evidence "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-" again proving how this technology to read the emotions of students in class is actually valuable. | Evidence | Adequate |
36c1e1e6f56e | E743F9AC8BBE | Another piece of evidence proving this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because in fact there are colleges out there that do offer video game based classes this could be another advantage | Claim | Adequate |
528f6b73ec5b | E743F9AC8BBE | It is an advantage because video games are technology and since colleges are offering classes based on videogames this could really increase the learning atmosphere for each and everyone of those students who take that course. A piece of evidence would also again be found in paragraph six where it states "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive- for videogames". This is proving that this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom or a videogame course in this case is valuable. | Evidence | Adequate |
af7c013c81f7 | E743F9AC8BBE | Another piece of evidence is how we first found this technology back in paragraph one the very end of it we get some background information on how this technology was found. | Claim | Ineffective |
584cc2aac7a8 | E743F9AC8BBE | We get the evidence that this sofware is the latest discovery from "Prof. Thomas Huang"
of "Beckman Institute for Advanced Science" at the "University of Amsterdam". Just knowing that Professor Thomas Huang may not be a student but is teaching this software to his students in classroom is for sure valuable. We even get this really nice piece of evidence
"Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate". This is saying Huang and his colleague are making this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in classrooms is valuable.
| Evidence | Adequate |
8682487528bc | E743F9AC8BBE | In conclusion the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is super valuable from videogames, professors to classroom computers and even just improving being able to read facial expressions is important because after all most of the human communication is nonverbal meaning not talking it is just simply "emotional communication". Also it says in the very begining that this new revolutionary software has promising applications for a good ammount of industries. Proving that the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable thus improving the already flourshing education of all the students who take grasp of this. Leading on to a brighter and better future for everyone in the world. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
7265766c3e35 | E76B78A22B99 | I am a scientist at NASA my name is Jeff. There is a face on mars and people think its by aliens well I know its not by aliens. | Lead | Adequate |
e361e3f169af | E76B78A22B99 | It is just a natural landform on mars its nothing big it wasnt made by aliens | Position | Adequate |
6b3be41da737 | E76B78A22B99 | and a lot of people think its by aliens and then a lot of people agree with me also. | Evidence | Ineffective |
b7153581b318 | E76B78A22B99 | This face on mars is a natural landform anything can happen on a planet that we have'nt been on yet | Claim | Adequate |
921ab6d29b67 | E76B78A22B99 | . We do not know what this planet is capble of and whats on the planet of mars. Well I think that it wasnt made by aliens becuase it gets more noticable by the years pass then it dissappers in a different year. Well Im sure our planet looks different from space in different years. | Evidence | Ineffective |
f2a5bc3fd9dc | E76B78A22B99 | Why would aliens even want to put a face on the planet. Im sure if there was aliens on mars they would'nt be carving a face on there own planet | Claim | Ineffective |
ff73728f9b01 | E76B78A22B99 | Im sure there living there life on mars not knowing we even exsit thats if there is aliens on there. They wouldnt what anything with us if they did I think they would have made more signs then just two dots and a straight line and they would have made the face more noticable and it dissapears after a couple of years that is probbaly of there is wind or something that might have blew away they face | Evidence | Ineffective |
49e56db72b60 | E76B78A22B99 | . We had our best people look into it and they think its a landform to they got pictures and eveidence that its just a regular landform! | Evidence | Adequate |
2582a6b116e9 | E7A3DBC919C1 | The technology to read students emotions isn't a very useful thing. | Position | Adequate |
6a868bad0872 | E7A3DBC919C1 | Not everyone wants you to know how they feel when it comes to their emotions. | Claim | Adequate |
d0ac3318914a | E7A3DBC919C1 | This could be useful to determine pictures and see how they were feeling at the time of the picture. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
949ff8fe7f19 | E7A3DBC919C1 | Most people wouldn't want others to know how they feel somedys. | Claim | Adequate |
27c5290d2fd1 | E7A3DBC919C1 | FACS which is a way to identify human emotion can become used in the wrong way. | Claim | Adequate |
f561eed0b449 | E7A3DBC919C1 | Some people could use it on others who don't want other people knowing how they feel. Some people just want to keep their emotions to themselves so that others can't see or know them. This could become a privacy issue when it comes to how people use this device. They could use it on people that don't want them to know what they're feeling. | Evidence | Adequate |
fb9628a5e8b9 | E7A3DBC919C1 | This device could become useful to see how people felt in movies, books, or even paintings. | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
eb485fc96d79 | E7A3DBC919C1 | I don't think that humans should use it on other humans unless they had permission to do so. When people hear about this device they may think that it isn't worth it, but it could be useful when it comes to things that happened long ago. Seeing other peoples emotions can be harmful to them unless they allowed you to do so. A lot of people want to hide their emotions and keep them to themselves. Emotions are something that can be shared or they can be kept away inside somebody. They can tell people or they can hide it, either way its up to them. This is why this device isn't helpful to the world. | Evidence | Adequate |
fa396d9342e0 | E7A3DBC919C1 | Again it may be helpful with things back then | Counterclaim | Adequate |
18511a99d97d | E7A3DBC919C1 | but seeing peoples emotions right now, it isn't something that is very useful to the world today | Rebuttal | Adequate |
a020258c70ce | E7A3DBC919C1 | Todays society wouldn't like this product very much because if they wanna know a persons emotions all they have to do is ask. They don't need a fancy device to tell them how that person is feeling. | Evidence | Adequate |
39f6b641b7b7 | E7A3DBC919C1 | Besides some people dont want you to know hoe they feel one day or maybe at all. | Claim | Adequate |
b2f71bef33de | E7A3DBC919C1 | Peoples emotions can be kept to themselves and shouldn't be told to someone with a device instead they could just ask. | Evidence | Adequate |
489384839a77 | E7A3DBC919C1 | So this device isn't helpful to the world today. In today's society people dont want others knowing their emotions. If they want to know they can ask and if that person wants to tell them then they will. This device is an invasion on peoples privacy because not everyone wants you to know their feelings. This device wouldnt be used by very many people in the world today. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
608fcff2a048 | E7C5E12F4E84 | I am against technology being able to read students emotional expressions. We shouldn´t have computers telling exacly how our students are feeling. | Position | Adequate |
6e5dc20addfc | E7C5E12F4E84 | Some things are personal and some kids might not want other kids to know if there feeling sad, mad, or happy. | Claim | Adequate |
476e49527f46 | E7C5E12F4E84 | In paragraph one it tells the percentages on Mona Lisa, that going way to far with personal space and thought. Some things are meant to be un said and if a teacher asks you in class how you felt about that certain situation they can tell if your lying or not, and that´s your choice if you want to express that. | Evidence | Adequate |
c9d2d9bccc0f | E7C5E12F4E84 | Students could be bullied if other kids didn´t like there opinion about something. | Claim | Adequate |
e6877d5caced | E7C5E12F4E84 | Even if something made a kid feel happy that something bad happened to another student like personal thoughts , that could be blown out of context. | Evidence | Ineffective |
59bc86c558b1 | E7C5E12F4E84 | Even though you may not have the brightest look on your face doesn´t mean your not happy, | Claim | Adequate |
caf2aefb4c16 | E7C5E12F4E84 | like thousand of kids walk around school with bleh looks and they may actually be happy but just showing that expression, but the computer would read it as sad or mad. Computers are already taking over a lot of things, but when it comes to humans we should´t need a computer to tell us how were feeling. Computers and technology aren´t 100% right, only you would know exactly how your feeling. | Evidence | Adequate |
9b974ab734ed | E7C5E12F4E84 | In conclusion computers shouldn´t be allowed to read students expression. In paragraph 5 Dr. Huang says it isn´t hard to tell whether a friend is feeling happy or sad you should be able to read that, so why exactly do we need a computer doing that? Some things us humans should be able to figure out because its our body and we know how it works. Therefore we shouldn´t need technology going pass our personal boundaries and telling us how we feel . It would just cause more conflict and more wasted money on things we ca just figure out ourselves. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
c49868fe5507 | E88DDA2FB4EA | The author supports the idea of exploring venus | Position | Adequate |
659bde37f826 | E88DDA2FB4EA | because Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of earth. However, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely. | Claim | Ineffective |
f41ab9532c0c | E88DDA2FB4EA | Often referred to as Earth's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size.
A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challengin are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venu's atmosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such a enviroment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals. | Evidence | Ineffective |
a5844824bee4 | E88DDA2FB4EA |
Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because off the insight to eb gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Our travels on earth and beyond should not be limited by danger and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. | Evidence | Ineffective |
92b31e3e93a5 | E8C1C58F8A0A | In the introduction, the author is describing Venus and explaining how "The Evening Star." Is the nickname, but beyond that- paragraph 1 and 2 wasn't explaining why you should pursuit it. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
8998b1d5d06c | E8C1C58F8A0A | However one statement that does in paragraph 2 is "Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size." | Claim | Adequate |
13de02fe5479 | E8C1C58F8A0A | Meaning it's not that far away to reach.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
b5febd3d36d2 | E8C1C58F8A0A | Yet one paragraph that is arguing with wanting to go to Venus is "Each previous mission was unamed, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." | Counterclaim | Adequate |
fa6b118583d6 | E8C1C58F8A0A | However one statement from paragraph 4 that shows that they wanna go to Venus is | Claim | Ineffective |
7b9894916bee | E8C1C58F8A0A | "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." This paragraph also claims that Venus was most likely covered with oceans and still supported different forms of life. | Evidence | Adequate |
329347a08992 | E8C1C58F8A0A | In paragraph 5 though, one of the statement claims "not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." Stating that Venus's climate and other factors made being there a pain, but again, it's for sure possible.
In paragraph 5 as well it says "(NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus." | Evidence | Ineffective |
f3c46331e860 | E8C1C58F8A0A | Going a little further, paragraph 6 just explains that to understand more about Venus, that they would have to get much closer, and also describes how scientists are working on innovations that would make the tech and gear that is necessary better and able to last longer.
They are doing so because they can't understand as much when they have no evidence | Evidence | Ineffective |
966bcb7f8d70 | E8C1C58F8A0A | Paragraph 7 has no claims on how you should go to Venus whatsoever, but instead it is talking about older tech used in the 1800s. | Evidence | Ineffective |
944a34e5f150 | E8C1C58F8A0A | However in Conclusion, in paragraph 8 they stated "Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." Another line that they used is "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubt. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
f1515d350ad5 | E8C1C58F8A0A | that no matter how many risks just so happen to be in Venus, perhaps if we were able to get there worry free, we'd come back with things we didn't know from before. | Position | Adequate |
f1478e207a1c | E8DD7458130E | This article talks about "Making Mona Lisa Smile,". In this article we learn about a machine that can that detects or identifies your emotions, whether sad, happy, angry, confused, or surprised this machine does it all. | Lead | Adequate |
fb5769782010 | E8DD7458130E | This machine found out that she was 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. This software is the latest innovation from Prof. Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam. This software actually calculates peoples emotions like a math homework. The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles, Movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit". | Evidence | Ineffective |
9a07c78d1946 | E8DD7458130E | Dr. Huang observes that facial expression for each emotions are universal even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression. Using video imagery, the new emotion recognition software tracks these facial movements in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa. By weighting he different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions as in da Vinci's masterpiece. | Evidence | Adequate |
45c2c41129e7 | E8DD7458130E | In fact, we human perform this same impressive calculation everyday. For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling by the look on her face. Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried and so on. Yet Dr huang obsereves that artists such as Da vinvi studied human anatomy to help paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions | Evidence | Adequate |
89ad3b38589a | E8DD7458130E | . His new computer software stores similar anaomical information as electronic code.
| Claim | Adequate |
240e5e96c824 | E8DD7458130E | I think this machine could be very useful in different situations like in offices, classrooms and even in personal homes | Position | Adequate |
add63a6d46a6 | E8DD7458130E | I would like it in classroom because it could tell whether students have a problem with something. | Claim | Adequate |
2d98822ca86d | E8DD7458130E | I think this software could be a great thing for a classroom. Imagine a classroom computer that knows when you are happy or sad. For exapmle, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen a similar ad might follow it. But if you frown, the next ad will be something different. | Evidence | Adequate |
01e4e4c296d5 | E8DD7458130E | A classroom computer could recognize when a student s becoming confused or bored, Dr. Huang predicts. | Claim | Adequate |
5a25d6f76f0d | E8DD7458130E | Then it could modify a lesson, like an effective human instructor. The same technology can make computer animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery. I think if a computer is able to do this it will make boring or less interesting classes more interactive, fun and understandable which makes students more willing to learn and will understands things better.
| Evidence | Adequate |
bb9a7b3e3a0d | E8DD7458130E | I think this new upcoming software will help make class more interesting and fun for students because if this software can read someone's emotions it wil surely know when a students is getting bored or if a student is confused. I think the will make students learn more. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
d778d63c3bce | E91C501B7AFA | The author did really well by being specific and being descriptive about Venus. There was a lot of detail which made it long and a little boring. | Position | Adequate |
a0f25ee042a1 | E91C501B7AFA | Not everyone wants to read about Venus, but it is a nice planet but when you are being forced to it's not the best choice.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
ef6c888ea73e | E91C501B7AFA | Things that the authro did good on was being very descriptive. Also, gave very many reasons to do a project over Venus. | Claim | Adequate |
dbb46984b44c | E91C501B7AFA | The author was doing very good about giving as many facts as a student would need in order to do a whole project over. They also gave some good detail about how it's been around 3 decades since someone has tried going to Venus. They have an enormous amount of facts.
| Evidence | Adequate |
1c0457a1cc4c | E91C501B7AFA | Something they could improve on is not make it as lengthy. This story would be very helpful if I had a project over Venus but it's a bit long to do anything else with. | Claim | Adequate |
12492b5dd850 | E91C501B7AFA | Granted there are a lot of facts but I would personaly put some opinion in it and make a little paragraph about what you would do if you went to Venus. Make it a tiny bit more interesting if you put something other than just straight facts. I strongly reccomend putting in some opinion in the next story. For example put some opinion on maybe what you think about a certain fact. | Evidence | Adequate |
b453f9949059 | E91C501B7AFA |
This overall was a great story and the author did a great job writing it. There are a few thing I would do different to grab the readers attention and try and keep it. The story doesn't keep my attention but it may to someone that loves since or maybe even Venus, but I'm not that person. Anyways great story overall just a few nit picks I wanted to point out. I can't wait for a new one next year! | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
936eaaaa27d4 | E9363204BCEF | Generic_Name declared all his students must participate in one or more extracurricular activities. It's not a choice for his students to not participate. What the school's students do have a choice over is which activity they want to participate in. People will agree or disagree with his decision, but it will expose students to new views or angles of what they want to do or enjoy. | Lead | Adequate |
33067ac5de9f | E9363204BCEF | Students should participate in extracurricular activities because it benefits their social, mental and physical health. | Position | Effective |
992f978cee31 | E9363204BCEF | Exposing students to exciting and beneficial activities can open up a new passion! | Claim | Adequate |
fb2168ba7da5 | E9363204BCEF | Instead of lazing over homework or moping around their house, children can be brighter and happier to get things done. When students are in an environment they enjoy, it can motivate them and brighten up their day. No one likes sitting in a classroom for seven hours. If students have something exciting to look forward to at the end of the day or the day after, it will push them to get their work done to participate in what they want to do. | Evidence | Effective |
