We collect empirical evidence based on an experiment that compares students in classes using CATs to students in control classes. In addition to providing information that will be helpful in the design of future research, this work makes several important contributions. Second, we compare and contrast CATs with traditional methods of assessment . Third, we provide specific examples of CATs to illustrate the ease with which professors can adapt and use them in their classes. Various companies have recognized their interdependence on various outside forces and have thus readjusted their behaviors to become more socially responsible.
Investors can financially support firms which share their values.
A well-known theory in the study of social networks is Granovetter's theory of the paradoxical strength of weak ties. In contrast, weak ties serve to knit together distant and heterogeneous regions of the global network. The theory has implications for organizational change efforts, the sociology of markets, network organizational forms, adoption of innovation, diffusion phenomena, and awareness of career opportunities. However, it seems likely that the theory is wrong. Our analysis indicates that structural factors such as network density, flow capabilities, and actor centrality are the immediate determinants of the key outcomes, and that these are not related to the distribution of weak ties in the ways claimed by the theory of weak ties.
