The simplicity in the work is one of its least impressive features and does not endear the work to individuals interested in observing and assessing more complex features of the data analysis process.
For this work, the data analysis consisted of frequencies and the accompanying percentages. This again is very simple data analysis and while complete consistent with the research leaves the reader dissatisfied with the level of analysis. It may have been useful for the researcher to engage at a minimum some chi square tests to explore whether the observed frequencies were the product of chance or not. The added level of analysis may have imparted added robustness to the work and produced a more compelling data driven argument.
The question of the statistical strength of the work is raised because the data were used to call into question the feasibility of engaging in AAPEP...
This type of assessment while it is raised from a theoretical foundation is not supported by the data. The researcher never assessed the impact or the success of the assessment methods. The comments that they raised are beyond the scope of their research aim and could only be assessed through another research program.
Despite these impediments, the work was informative and provided a reasonable overview of the state of the assessment process in Finland. It would be interesting to determine if similar results would be obtained from other countries in Europe or North America. The value in the work comes from the near complete data set that was engaged for the research.

Internet has grown exponentially since its first introduction to the public. The precursor to the Internet was the ARPANET. The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the Department of Defense (Carlitz and Zinga, 1997) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) were the primary creators of the ARPANET. Subsequently however, efforts from private entities and universities have helped develop the network infrastructure, as it exists today. "The goals of ARPA's
Technology in a 2nd grade classroom to improve student achievement in math Of late, there has been a push to bring in technology to schools where teachers as well as students would be able to reap the benefits of the World Wide Web, the Internet, and other related technologies.

Storytelling Human beings are naturally predisposed to hear, to remember, and to tell stories. The problem -- for teachers, parents, government leaders, friends, and computers -- is to have more interesting stories to tell. (Schank, pg. 243) The art of storytelling extends back into the earliest years of human development, when tales were passed from one generation to another and one group to another even before the advent of written language. Some
Responsibility in Student Behavior Previous research on behavior modification has varied in effectiveness with specific type of behavior, or class of behaviors, and the specific type of behavioral intervention (Packer, 2010). The research shows programs that attempt to teach skills, such as self-control and responsibility, as well as incorporate parents and home tend to be more effective than programs that just promote discipline or obedience. The management of contingencies, such as

Procrastination: A coping mechanism Procrastination is a human behavior that results when a person avoids or puts off a task, (generally) of high importance, in order to complete tasks (generally) of lower importance Burka & Yuen 2008; Fiore 2006; Hsin Chun Chu & Nam 2011; Schraw, Wadkins, & Olafson 2007). Human behaviors are the results of choices whether those choices are completely intentional or the result of subconscious intent. Without getting
