Audio Jack Data Communication On Smartphones, Ziyuan Li

Annual Graduate Student Symposium

By choosing adequate modulation and demodulation schemes on a smartphone and a client device, via the audio jack of the smartphone we can achieve a data transmitting rate of about 1k bits per second from the smartphone to the client device and 7.35k bit per second from the client device to the smartphone, which is sufficient for the smartphone to control and collect data from the client device.

I worked with the Education and Programing Department of the Imaginarium throughout the entirety of my internship. I assisted with the coordination of the Waterloo Middle School Science Fair and the Nation History Day Competition. I shadowed many Grout Museum district employees and had the opportunity to assist with tasks such as program presentations, program development, and I helped facilitate a wide variety of monthly children’s activities and implemented marketing strategies to promote new museum programs.

Latinos In The Major Leagues From 1920 To 1939: A Human Capital Approach, Tom Cullen

Major Themes in Economics

Economists frequently study the determinants of baseball players’ wages. Researchers usually control for measures of productivity such as the player's batting average, home runs, and runs batted in, education, age, and experience. This study differs from standard studies in that it considers players’ country of origin in the 1920s and 1930s, years before Jackie Robinson’s debut. It uses information on player productivity from Baseball-Reference.com, player salary information from the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum (graciously shared by its compiler), and information on college attendance provided by Who's Who in Baseball (held at the Joyce Sports Collection, Notre Dame University). …

Using Data To Expand Programming On Campus: Data Driven Decision-Making And Institutional Collaboration In First-Year Only Courses At Uni, David Marcesani, Kristin Moser

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

Following UNI’s "Foundations of Excellence® (FoE) First Year” self-study, in partnership with the John Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education (John N. Gardner Institute, 2014), Cornerstone (UNIV 1000 and UNIV 1010), a first-year experience course, was established. Cornerstone is a year-long course that satisfies the writing and oral communication requirement within UNI’s Liberal Arts Core (LAC). Each Cornerstone section has, at minimum, one peer mentor embedded in the course. The First-Year Cornerstone course was piloted in fall 2010 with 9 First-Year Cornerstone sections and 11 peer mentors. This model then expanded to include “first-year only” (FYO) courses in the …

Shakespeare And School Counseling, Nick Abel

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

In the ongoing search for therapeutic tools and techniques to use with students from kindergarten through the 12^th grade (K-12), it is unlikely that many school counselors have considered the work of William Shakespeare. Generally confined to upper-level high school English classrooms, the work of “The Bard” is more likely to be considered an obstacle for students to overcome than a resource to enhance their academic, career, or personal/social development (Anderson & Anderson, 2003). While Shakespeare may not have a place in every school counseling program, below are some possibilities for using his work in contemporary K-12 settings.

Shakespeare And Teaching Rhetorical Technique In The Speech Classroom, Amanda Arp

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

Shakespeare’s artistic communication within the speeches of his plays has the potential to augment student learning in college speech communication courses. Studying Shakespeare is appropriate in college speech communication courses because students could achieve improved rhetorical skills. Studying Shakespeare could even fulfill learning objectives of speech communication classes. For example, at Iowa State University, one of the learning objectives of the speech communication foundation course, SP CM 212, is to “select appropriate language to communicate ideas vividly, accurately, and respectfully” (LeFebvre 3). William Shakespeare’s plays have thrived because of his vivid, rhetorical language. Therefore, by studying the language of several …
