Charter Schools And Accountability: An Evalution Of Nevada's Charter School Accountability Legislation, Sonya Douglass Horsford
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
America’s public education system has become one of the most hotly debated issues in the country. Poor student performance and failing schools have forced many to identify ways to reform the current system through measures such as school-based management, performancebased incentive programs and opportunities for parental choice. As a result, charter schools have become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional public schools. In addition, there have been many questions surrounding the “autonomy for accountability” tradeoff characteristic of the charter school concept. In an effort to contribute to the discussion of charter school accountability and efforts to hold charter schools accountable …

An Interactive Visual Environment For Scientific Problem Solving, Georg F. Mauer
An Interactive Visual Environment For Scientific Problem Solving, Georg F. Mauer
Mechanical Engineering Faculty Research
Science and engineering students do not typically receive explicit training in scientific problem solving, i.e. applying science principles to specific situations. Students’ problem solving skills often show little improvement throughout their course of studies. This paper describes a structured, graphical, interactive (GUI) learning environment, which presents problems and tools for analysis in systematic and logical order, and encourages the student to develop the solution path in the manner of an experienced expert. The learning environment’s subject area is Engineering Dynamics, which was selected for its systematic structure and its early (usually sophomore) place in the undergraduate curriculum. The software presents …

The Visual Learner And Information Literacy: Generating Instruction Strategies For Design Students, Jeanne M. Brown
The Visual Learner And Information Literacy: Generating Instruction Strategies For Design Students, Jeanne M. Brown
Library Faculty Publications
In this presentation I will address three questions:
1. Who is the visual learner, and are our students – i.e. students in design disciplines – visual learners
2. Does the ACRL Information Literacy Program recognize alternate approaches to information
3. What strategies can we use to reach design students

Library Faculty Publications
Dietetic educators concur that use of professional journals in the undergraduate curriculum promotes student reading skills, exposes students to current research, enhances computer skills and prepares dietetic students for the real world environment. Those of us in educational institutions are continually asked to review our university library holdings; prioritizing on the basis of department selections, cost, rate of inflation, use by faculty and students and availability through interlibrary loans and other document retrieval procedures. No doubt, those in industry and clinical and private practice are also watching their budgets and are asked to review expenses for professional publications.
