         success in school and work.

      3. What aspects of intelligence Sternberg and Gardner would argue are critical

          in determining intelligence and are not measured by the Stanford-Binet test.

A recent study examined the merit aid program in Massachusetts (called the "Adams Scholarship"). This program gave students with high SAT scores and grades in high school free tuition at Massachusetts public universities. The study found that actually students who received scholarships and attended public universities became less likely to graduate college. Why do you think this happened? (Hint - the study is discussed in the lectures but it is not on the reading list.)

Joe is 40 years old and considering quitting his job to return for a college degree. He needs two more years full-time. Tuition is $10,000 per year. He earns $30,000 per year. A college degree would raise his annual income by $10,000 per year. He will retire at age 70. From an investment standpoint, should Joe go back full-time to school?

A sociologist wishes to estimate the proportion of parents of college-bound high school students who have not saved any money for college. What sample size would she need for the estimate to be correct within 6 percentage points with 95% confidence
(a) if she uses a similar study from 2015 that indicates that 32% of parents had saved no money for college?
(b) if she does not use any prior estimates?

Mohammed has consistently completed his smaller assignments in the course, like discussions, reflections, and other homework outside of essays.

Watch an hour or two of children’s television. What were the programs and what are the themes of the programs you watched? What assumptions do television producers appear to make about the kinds of entertainment that are suitable for children? What cognitive, social and emotional concepts were covered in the shows? How would your interpretation of the shows differ from that of an early school age child? Write a page about your thoughts and findings.

Think about the last time you took a series of tests in a short period of time (high school or college finals work here). How did you decide how much time to spend studying for each subject? How might the study of economics help you make that allocation decision in the future? ( Employ marginal analysis as discussed in chapter 1 and the Expanded Discussion under the "Chapter 1" tab.)
