Perhaps moreinteresting is that in this study, P¨arkk¨a et al. noted that accelerometers placed on the wrist couldnot distinguish between sitting and standing [28]. This discovery may indicate that attempting toclassify swimming strokes may prove extremely difficult to perform. Swimming stroke motionstend to be full body movements, and because of this, only placing a sensor on the wrists likely hasits limitations. As such, placement of sensors involves a more nuanced discussion.In order to assess the optimal location for sensor placement, many studies have been conductedusing various locations. The sensor placements of importance to this work are the wrists [26–39]and the

Being a responsive teacher, however, meansthat you should not plan objectives and methods or predict outcomes months in advance.You can not fix evaluative criteria at the start of an educational activity and expect theseto be as relevant at the end as they were at the beginning. Being responsive to students’experiences of learning makes your assessments of your effectiveness as a teacher partlydependent on students’ perceptions of what is taking place in the classroom. Suchcontextual notions of effectiveness do not always sit well with the administrative desireto standardize effectiveness through a series of replicable indicators.
