Voice Recognition Software: A Brief Case Study, Kirstin Duffin
Voice Recognition Software: A Brief Case Study, Kirstin Duffin
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is voice-activated software that allows users to communicate with a computer by means of their voice rather than their keyboard. The software’s aim will make anyone who failed Keyboarding 101 giddy with delight. Forgo typing, be it for a document, an e-mail or instant messaging. Dragon listens to your voice and records your composition faster than you can type. After a brief, 15-minute training and tutorial session, during which Dragon listens to the user and he or she learns commands to navigate within Dragon, you are ready to start using the program.
Getting The Most Out Of Your Student Worker Budget: A Survey Of Tasks Performed By Student Assistants In Access Services Departments, Bradley P. Tolppanen, Janice Derr
Getting The Most Out Of Your Student Worker Budget: A Survey Of Tasks Performed By Student Assistants In Access Services Departments, Bradley P. Tolppanen, Janice Derr
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
University libraries invest considerable funds and staff time in the hiring, training, and employment of student assistants. Access Services departments within university libraries depend on student assistants to complete tasks and aid in the work flow in virtually all areas of the department. With the recent increases in minimum wage and uncertain library budgets, the need for the most efficient and effective use of student assistants has become an even greater concern. This poster session will present the results of a recently conducted survey of Access Services department supervisors on the hiring, training, and duties assigned to student assistants. Results …

Analysis Of Citations In Undergraduate Papers, Stacey Knight-Davis, Jan Sung
Analysis Of Citations In Undergraduate Papers, Stacey Knight-Davis, Jan Sung
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
This paper presents the findings of a citation analysis of papers written by undergraduate students. The analysis included the types of materials cited, number of citations per paper, publication year, online availability, and refereed status of materials cited. Library ownership of materials was also analyzed. Number of citations in each paper increased over the first three papers, as did the number of refereed journals cited. There was also a positive correlation between the number of citations in the paper and the word count of the paper.

College Student Disaster Preparedness, William Lovekamp, Michelle Tate
College Student Disaster Preparedness, William Lovekamp, Michelle Tate
Faculty Research and Creative Activity
This research examines college students’ perceived risk of tornados and earthquakes affecting their college residence and community, fear, perceived levels of disaster preparedness and preparedness actions at a Midwestern university. Using questionnaires, we collected a sample of 192 college students from a variety of majors and class ranks. We conclude that these students do know the potential likelihood and risks of tornados and earthquakes, perceive that they are prepared for tornados but not for earthquakes, and do not take many of the appropriate actions to prepare themselves.

Practicing Professional Communication Principles By Creating Public Service Announcements, Terri A. Fredrick
Practicing Professional Communication Principles By Creating Public Service Announcements, Terri A. Fredrick
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
A PRIMARY GOAL of most introductory business and technical communication courses is to introduce students to the idea that the professional communication most of them will engage in is different from the writing they do for academic purposes. This overall idea covers several principles concerning professional writing. First, in an academic essay, a student may tell all he or she knows about a topic to an expert reader (the instructor); in professional writing situations, however, writers are most likely sharing only a small part of the information they know with nonexpert readers. Second, when writing in professional situations, writers must …

The Effects Of Curvature On Haptic Judgments Of Extent In Sighted And Blind People, Morton Heller, Astrid Kappers, Melissa Mccarthy, Ashley Clark, Tara Riddle, Erin Fulkerson, Lindsay Wemple, Anne Walk, Andreana Basso, Crystal Wanek, Kristen Russler
The Effects Of Curvature On Haptic Judgments Of Extent In Sighted And Blind People, Morton Heller, Astrid Kappers, Melissa Mccarthy, Ashley Clark, Tara Riddle, Erin Fulkerson, Lindsay Wemple, Anne Walk, Andreana Basso, Crystal Wanek, Kristen Russler
Faculty Research and Creative Activity
A series of experiments was carried out to examine the effect of curvature on haptic judgments of extent in sighted and blind individuals. Experiment 1 showed that diameters con- necting the endpoints of semicircular lines were underestimated with respect to straight lines, but failed to show an effect of visual experience on length judgments. In experiment 2 we tested arc lengths. The effects of curvature on perceived path length were weaker, but were still present in this experiment.Visual experience had no effect on path length judgments. Another experiment was performed to examine the effect of repeated tracing (1, 5, 9, …

Expansion Of Golf Courses In The United States, Darrell E. Napton, Chris Laingen
Expansion Of Golf Courses In The United States, Darrell E. Napton, Chris Laingen
Faculty Research and Creative Activity
Twenty-five million Americans play golf on the nation's 16,000 courses each year. These golf courses constitute a significant national landscape feature. Since 18789, when the game arrived in the United States, golf has filtered down the urban, economic, and social hierarchies to become accepted by and accessible to most Americans. During the ensuing thirteen decades the number, location, and layout of the nation's golf courses have responded to many of the same driving forces that impacted the nation, including decentralization, growth of the middle class, war, economic depression, suburbanization, and the increasing role of the federal government. Four epochs of …

Facilitating Better Teamwork: Analyzing The Challenges And Strategies Of Classroom-Based Collaboration, Terri A. Fredrick
Facilitating Better Teamwork: Analyzing The Challenges And Strategies Of Classroom-Based Collaboration, Terri A. Fredrick
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
To help students develop teamwork skills, teachers should be aware of the strategies students already employ to assert authority and manage conflict. Researchers studying engineering students have identified two such approaches: transfer-of-knowledge sequences, in which students emulate teacher and pupil roles; and collaborative sequences, in which students use circular talk to reach consensus. As demonstrated in this article, these strategies are also used by students in professional communication courses. The second half of this article provides specific suggestions for designing team assignments, interacting effectively with student teams, and developing evaluations that value the process of teamwork.
