Quality assessment of drug class reviews for the Drug Effectiveness Review Project Study quality is objectively assessed using predetermined criteria for internal validity, based on a combination of the US Preventive Services Task Force and the National Health Service Centre 1, 2 for Reviews and Dissemination criteria. All included studies are assessed for quality and assigned a rating of “good”, “fair”, or “poor”. Studies that have a fatal flaw are rated poor-quality. A fatal flow is reflected by failure to meet combinations of criteria that may be related in indicating the presence of bias. An example would be failure or inadequate procedures for randomization and/or allocation concealment combined with important differences in prognostic factors at baseline. Studies that meet all criteria are rated good-quality and the remainder is rated fair-quality.

See an example for text, translation, word list and glossary on page 61. Langenscheidt’s ‘mit System’ series is probably the best series of language manuals in the world! If you are aware of one, please contact us via our mailing list. Bernd Sebastian Kamps Language Manuals | 21 2 After finding a manual that is suitable for Ear Memory’s Power Listening, proceed as follows: 1. If they are on your computer, copy the files onto your smartphone. Alternatively, transfer the files via Bluetooth or by email. Before starting your Power Listening programme, listen to the entire audio once or twice while reading the translation. This way, you’ll get familiar with the content of the text. If you have already tried the language before, listen once or twice to the entire audio file while reading the transcription. That will give you a feeling of what you know and what you still have to learn. Some manuals (Langenscheidt ‘mit System’) come with two audio versions: slow and normal. We recommend that you start with the slow version, but as soon as you can, listen only to the normal speed audio. For the final test of ‘total understanding’ (see page 38) you should, of course, use the normal audio. Listen to the audios files of your manual for a month or two, but speak as little as possible. Give your brain time to absorb the correct pronunciation of the words and the characteristic sound of your new language. If you wait to speak Ear2Memory 2016 22 | Ear2Memory. If you don’t find a suitable manual, there is a solution: Do it yourself! For any given language you’ll find on the internet audio material en masse. Select a total of 45 to 60 minute of speech audios of your choice and prepare MP3 files of 2 to 3 minutes. Ask native speakers to make a transcription of the 2 audios. Recommend them to use the Ear Memory app for their transcription task. Put your new ATTW or ATT package on the internet for free access to everybody. Notify Ear Memory for inclusion of your package on our website. In an ideal world, we would soon have hundreds of free language packages on the internet…  * * * Your language project is now ready.
