F2F Class Notes (Kyle) (S)

Stress/Emphasis – the part of a word that is louder, longer, or higher in pitch
e.g. The stress in “independent” is on the syllable “pen”: in – de – pen – dent

Efficient vs. Effective
— “Efficient” means to get a lot of stuff done quickly or cheaply
— “Effective” means to accomplish the goal, to do something really well, to achieve something
e.g. If I teach three students at a time, it would be efficient, but probably not very effective.
e.g. If I teach you the whole history of the English language, that would be effective in raising your level, but not very efficient, because it would take much too long.
