In the last ten years I have moved increasingly toward experiential teaching (using self - awareness exercises, role playing of counseling methods, live demonstrations of growth groups, and so forth), which involves the students» own feelings, responses, and needs; asking the students to draw up their own «learning contract» based on what they want to get from a given course or workshop; expecting students to participate in the teaching by sharing in some systematic way the insights they have discovered to be meaningful; revealing my own struggles, uncertainties, and weaknesses; and asking the students to evaluate anonymously the course, including my teachin

uncertainty over his future with the club on purpose
in the hope the annual late rally to secure a top 4 spot would justify a new contract then I would rather finish 7th, outside of the European football places allowing a new manager to focus just on the PL and taking any arguments away from Wenger that would delude him into thinking he should continue his unsuccessful reign and the
systematic dismantling of our competitive status and DNA.

A
systematic review of 49 studies, involving more than 1,600 patients and their caregivers, showed that this lack of knowledge leads to confusion, delays
in seeking help, and
uncertainty about the long - term outlook and how to manage their own care.
In science, «conservatism» implies proper acknowledgment of the
uncertainties, it does not imply that

There are two classes of
uncertainty in models — one is the
systematic bias
in any particular metric due to a misrepresentation of the physics etc, the other is
uncertainty related to weather (the noise).
This is not simply the
uncertainty in estimating the linear trend, but the more
systematic uncertainty due to processing problems, drifts and other biases.
Clearly more analysis will clarify the
uncertainties in the ocean heat estimates — which are very large and, I believe, may be understated
in the Lyman et al paper since they address random but not
systematic sources of error.
The past year, according to the NASA group (the «meteorological year» from December through November), is between the 7th and 12th warmest (because of the range of
uncertainty in readings) since
systematic meteorological record - keeping began
in 1880.
Thus, when there is a
systematic bias (not just random variation), creating a positive covariance between the error values, you can calculate differences much more accurately than the
uncertainty in individual values.
Accounting for Both Random Errors and
Systematic Errors
in Uncertainty Propagation Analysis of Computer Models Involving Experimental Measurements with Monte Carlo Methods.
I think that
in order to get a handle on the
uncertainties we need multiple, independent, well - thought - out assessments of both the coverage
uncertainty and the
systematic error
uncertainty.
The situation with your unsubstantiated certainty w / r / t economics does not necessarily generalize to your approach to climate science, but your failure to acknowledge an obvious case of being overly certain does suggest, I'd say strongly, a
systematic problem
in your approach to
uncertainty.

systematic errors and
uncertainties in observations and simulations at 183 GHz.»
We applied the same method used
in the observational analysis on general circulation model data to decrease the statistical
uncertainty at the expense of an increased
systematic uncertainty.
As the age gets quite old, the
uncertainty in the radiocarbon signal becomes dominated by Poisson statistics; using a Neyman's Gaussian for the
uncertainty here can lead to
systematic overestimates of the age of the sample.
Because the differences between the various observational estimates are largely
systematic and structural (Chapter 2; Mears et al., 2011), the
uncertainty in the observed trends can not be reduced by averaging the observations as if the differences between the datasets were purely random.
However, even state - of - the - art climate models (GCMs) have
systematic errors
in simulation of different climate characteristics, which are often much larger than observations
uncertainties (Covey et al. 2003).
Worst of all, temperature change still appears to reported as if all the
uncertainty arises from scatter
in the raw data and none from
systematic errors that could arise from processing the data.

In UKCIP08, for example, we are handling this problem by combining results from two different types of ensemble data: One is a systematic sampling of the uncertainties in a single model, obtained by changing uncertain parameters that control the climate system; the other is a multi-model ensemble obtained by pooling results from alternative models developed at different international center

Similarly, primary contributors to
uncertainties in the valuation of the other emissions are climate sensitivity, climate - health impacts, and projected GDP, which are

Caregiver - focused groups were rated as providing skills such as information and support that reduced the negative appraisal of caregiving, decreased
uncertainty and lessened hopelessness, while also teaching skills to cope with the stresses of caregiving.66 This supports suggestions that such groups might give caregivers the chance to openly interact with other caregivers
in the absence of their care recipients.57 Moreover,
