Argumentation : Analysis and Evaluation
This book concentrates on argumentation as it emerges in ordinary discourse, whether the discourse is institutionalized or strictly informal.Crucial concepts from the theory of argumentation are systematically discussed and explained with the help of examples from real-life discourse and texts.The basic principles are explained that are instrumental in the analysis and evaluation of argumentative discourse.Methodical instruments are offered for identifying differences of opinion, analyzing and evaluating argumentation and presenting arguments in oral and written discourse.Attention is also paid to the way in which arguers attempt to be not just reasonable, but effective as well, by maneuvering strategically.In addition, the book provides a great variety of exercises and assignments to improve the student’s skill in presenting argumentation. The authors begin their treatment of argumentation theory at the same juncture where argumentation also starts in practice: The difference of opinion that occasions the evolvement of the argumentation.Each chapter begins with a short summary of the essentials and ends with a number of exercises that students can use to master the material.Argumentation is the first introductory textbook of this kind.It is intended as a general introduction for students who are interested in a proper conduct of argumentative discourse.Suggestions for further reading are made for each topic and several extra assignments are added to the exercises. Special features:• A concise and complete treatment of both the theoretical backgrounds and the practice of argumentation analysis and evaluation. • Crucial concepts from pragmatics (speech act theory, Grice’s cooperative principle) presented in a non-technical way; introducing the theory of verbal communication. • The first textbook treatment of strategic maneuvering as a way of balancing being reasonable with being effective• Exercises and assignments based on real-life texts from a variety of contexts.

Why is the horizontal throw horizontal?
The horizontal throw is horizontal because there is no vertical force acting on the object during the throw. When an object is thrown horizontally, the only force acting on it is gravity, which pulls the object straight down towards the ground. This results in the object following a horizontal path as it moves forward, without any vertical component to its motion.
-
What does horizontal mean?
Horizontal refers to something that is parallel to the horizon or level with the ground. It is the opposite of vertical, which is perpendicular to the ground. In a horizontal position, objects or lines are arranged side by side, rather than stacked on top of each other. This term is commonly used in geometry, design, and architecture to describe the orientation of objects or elements.
-
What does horizontal tangent mean?
A horizontal tangent is a line that is parallel to the x-axis and touches a curve at a single point without crossing it. This point is where the derivative of the curve is equal to zero, indicating a local maximum or minimum. In other words, the slope of the curve at that point is flat, resulting in a horizontal line.
-
What is a horizontal line?
A horizontal line is a straight line that runs parallel to the horizon, or the line where the sky meets the Earth. It has a slope of zero, meaning it does not rise or fall as it extends from left to right. In geometry, a horizontal line is represented by the equation y = c, where c is a constant value that represents the y-coordinate of every point on the line.

Enhancing Learning through Formative Assessment and Feedback
Assessment is a critical aspect of higher education because it has a range of powerful impacts on what staff and students do and how universities operate.Underpinned by relevant theory and practical advice this fully updated new edition takes into account the changing expectation of students in the context of an increasingly complex and shifting higher education environment to promote the role of formative assessment and formative feedback and its impact on shaping the student learning experience.Presented through the lens of contemporary perspectives, empirical evidence, and case studies across a broad range of subject disciplines, this new edition aims to encourage teaching and support staff to focus on the promotion of student learning through designing and embedding high-impact formative assessment processes and activities.Key content covers: the theoretical and philosophical aspects of formative assessment and formative feedback; the learning environment in which students undertake their learning activities, helping teachers develop appropriate formative assessment and provide effective formative feedback; the impact of formative assessment and formative feedback activities have on learning, teaching, and assessment design, as well as on the academic workload of tutors; the contemporary issues and challenges currently driving research into formative assessment; the use of technology in formative assessment and how different tools and technologies allow for the provision of effective and efficient formative feedback; the benefits of understanding how students respond to formative assessment and formative feedback as an opportunity to review the effectiveness of the teaching and learning methods and techniques; the integral role of formative assessment and formative feedback plays in postgraduate research settings; and how innovations in formative assessment and feedback inform key developments in large-scale assessment change.Aimed at both experienced and early career practitioners in higher education, this text is ideal reading for educators who wish to see a movement away from a higher education system driven by summative assessment to one where a more holistic approach to education positions learning standards rather than measurement and grades as central to effective assessment and, crucially, to return to a focus on student learners.

What is a horizontal throw?
A horizontal throw is a type of throw in sports or activities where the object is propelled parallel to the ground rather than in an upward or downward trajectory. This type of throw is often used in sports like discus, shot put, or javelin, where the goal is to achieve maximum distance while keeping the object as close to the ground as possible. Horizontal throws require a combination of strength, technique, and timing to generate the necessary power and accuracy for a successful throw.
-
What is a horizontal tangent?
A horizontal tangent is a line that is parallel to the x-axis and touches a curve at a single point without crossing it. This point of contact is where the slope of the curve is zero, resulting in a horizontal line. Horizontal tangents are often found at local maximum or minimum points on a curve, where the slope changes from positive to negative or vice versa.
