Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has handed down his first federal budget on Tuesday night with his Budget night seech to Parliament. Here is your guide to the Federal Budget resources, and analysis from the Big 4 accounting forms and the AFR.
An example of a "murky" statement could be, “Applying additional scrutiny to Muslim Americans would not reduce terrorism in the U.S.” (That is, by the way, an opinion.) There were five facts, five opinions, and two statements that were a little more ambiguous. Instead, the respondents were asked to identify statements such as "President Barack Obama was born in the United States" and "Abortion should be legal in most cases" as factual ("whether you think it's accurate or not") or opinion ("whether you agree with it or not"). The purpose of the activity was to see if they could work it out themselves. The 5,035 adults involved in the study were not given these definitions. Pew Research Center Quiz: Quiz: How well can you tell factual from opinion statements? Respondents were presented with 12 statements and asked to categorize them as either "fact" or "opinion". This is according to a poll recently conducted by the Pew Research Center, which found that, on average, the public can correctly identify a fact and an opinion six times out of ten. “Although in China orderliness is positively correlated with academic performance, whether orderliness is a quality that is predictive across all cultures still remains an open question.”Īpparently, Americans have a hard time separating fact from opinion. “East Asia creates the higher level of disciplined atmosphere than other cultures, and student academic performance is significantly positively correlated with the disciplinary climate,” they wrote. They noted, however, that orderliness may come easier to some than others. With other GPA-influencing factors like DNA, personality, IQ and physical attributes mostly being beyond people’s control, behavioural habits like orderliness and diligence can at least be developed. Though the authors admit this finding is intuitive, they stress its importance.
“The significant correlation implies that orderliness can be considered as a feature class to predict students’ academic performance,” they said.Īlmost 20,000 undergraduate students at UEST were surveyed between 2009–15 for their orderliness (regularity, measured by taking showers in dormitories and having meals in cafeterias) and diligence (effort, measured by entering/exiting the library and fetching water in teaching buildings). Though the results are merely correlate (they are not proven to be causal), and haven’t been tested against a control, the authors, from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu (UEST) and Pennsylvania State University, say this is the first study to demonstrate them. Taking showers and eating meals at standard intervals could enhance your GPA, the Journal of the Royal Society Interface research suggests.
If cleanliness is next to godliness, according to a new study, additionally, orderliness is next to academic success.
