Advice on Further Education for a Computer Engineer

Hey.

I will graduate from college as a Computer Engineer, in the next fall.

I want to do academical and practical (real-life maybe?) researches in the topics of psychology, neuroscience, and health, with innovation and technology emphasis.

What would be the best program to apply for a Master's Degree, given these aims?

Psychology? Molecular Biology and Genetics? Biomedical Engineering? Maybe, Medical School? Any other field?

Thank you in advance.

help me with physics please

so I’m starting with physics since I know zero stuff about it, I’m in science notation and it’s easy at. But like when I get to the problem solving and stuff my brain explodes. I was wondering if any of you recommend a website that teaches physics in an easy way. also I don’t wanna cheat I wanna learn, and I’m in 11th grade.

I have 22 absences in the past 2 weeks

My school has started to go online due to the strike going on in my province and my teachers ask us to react with an emoji to a post to say that we are here, I forgot about that and my absences have totalled up to 22. Do I have to retake? I have good grades.

Proficiency Based Learning - any other middle schools doing this?

I'll admit I came from a very traditional high school and graduated 20+ years ago. I dont get the things they do in school these days - reading whatever book you want? Back when I was in school the whole class read the same book (usually a classic that wasnt an easy/interesting read for a teen) and you were TESTED on it to make sure you read it. (had to write an essay or whatever). Now it seems like kids are reading easy books and getting to pick whatever book they want. How can teachers even be sure they read the book if they can pick from an infinite number of books? Or another surprising thing is that they are allowed to retake tests and quizzes until they get a grade they are happy with? I sort of get this a little because you learn what you did wrong (say in math) and get to retry it. But still...whatever happened to just studying before hand?

So my 8th grader's school has moved to Proficiency Based Learning this year. Gone are As, Bs, Cs, Ds, etc...and now they get "Beginning", "Developing", "Achieving", or "Extending". I just dont understand the point of this. How is this getting them ready for high school where they will get As, Bs, Cs, etc...?? My son is now only interested in doing his best work if its a graded assignment. For homework they hardly have it first of all, 2nd of all you could get every answer wrong and get the same grade as a kid getting every answer right. They just want you to "try". I have a smart kid but he just doesnt even care this year because none of the assignments even matter.

I'd love to be enlightened about how this type of grading is a good thing, because to me it just seems like a reason to let kids slack off. I'm hesitant to complain about it since I dont really understand the point of moving to this system - it seems like a way to get the kids who werent doing good in school to look better, and the kids who were doing good before to stay the same.

Sorry for the rant!

Are you a student facing eviction or homelessness?

The Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit newsroom in D.C., is looking to hear from college students who’ve faced or are currently facing eviction. If you’re a student who has been evicted from campus housing amid the pandemic or who has experienced homelessness, we want to hear your story.

This isn’t the first time that we’ve reported on housing or the eviction crisis: Earlier this year, we revealed that more than $425 million of the $2.6 billion set aside to prop up struggling renters amid the pandemic didn’t make it to tenants or landlords.

Your experiences will help guide our reporting. And don't worry, your identity will remain confidential unless you give us permission to name you. If you want to share your story, you can reach out to me at aeichenstein[at]publicintegrity.org.

I need help with understanding the meaning of this paragraph

English is my second language and I'm struggling to understand this paragraph. Its for my assessment. Can anyone help me to simplify. I put in bold the sentences I'm most confused about.

Beyond Welfarism

Why does Sen take issue with focusing on the space of individual utilities? His essential argument is that its informational base is insufficiently rich: the same distribution of individual welfares may coexist with very different scores on other dimensions that are important to social evaluation. A theory of welfare must be based on more than individual utilities, whether they are interpreted as pleasure, as fulfilment, or as revealed preference. Sen has emphasized the need to take a broader view. As he noted in his paper "Welfare Economics and the Real World", "One of the extraordinary features of standard welfare economics has been the neglect of information about health, morbidity and longevity. Though these variables have often been taken seriously in the development literature ..., they have typically been ignored in welfare-economic treat- ises" [II, 1986b, p. I 1]. His critique of utilitarianism is quite distinct from that of ordinalists, which was concerned with paucity of utility information: "I would now like to dispute the acceptability of welfarism even when utility information is as complete as it can possibly be" [II, 1979, p. 547].

And this:

Without comparability, we cannot make such a statement, but we do not necessarily need full difference comparability in order to arrive at a ranking. Suppose that we are willing to place a limit on the extent of possible variation across people in the scaling of differences: for example, raising or lowering the weight on one person's utility relative to another person's by at most some specified factor. Then we may still be able to claim that the sum of Roman utilities fell, since even the largest possible weight to Nero leaves him outnumbered. Inherent in such an approach is of course the risk that it will leave questions unresolved. Sen has argued that this is not grounds for despair. In his Dewey Lectures [XVI, 1985, p. 178], he examined the alleged need for completeness, and argued tha
