Responding To Students’ Writing: A Research Review And Suggestions For Abe And Ged Teachers, Bryan Bardine

English Faculty Publications

"Awkward" "Nice" "Word choice" "Weak" "Vague"

As adult educators and teachers of writing, most of us have been guilty of writing some, if not all, of these comments on our students' papers. It is important that we understand the effect that our written comments can have on our students' work, and the role that we play in their writing development as the reader of their texts. We need to acknowledge that not all comments we write, regardless of the intent, help our students.

By knowing this we can respond to our students' written work in ways that will enable them …

Court Interpreting Services In State And Federal Courts: Reasons And Options For Inter-Court Coordination, William E. Hewitt, Paula Hannaford-Agor, Catherine Gill, Melissa Cantrell

Faculty Publications

In 1978 a federal law marked the beginning of standard setting and professionalization of court interpreters through testing. In 1995, an entity now called the Consortium for State Court Interpreter Certification was created by the National Center for State Courts and four founding states (Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington.) The Consortium was created as a way to ameliorate shortages of resources and expertise to implement standards for interpreting proficiency at the state level, problems shared by virtually all of the states. Now, as a consequence of institutionalization, a forum has been created wherein exchange of information and expertise, and …

Focus, Larry Burke (Editor)

FOCUS on Boise State

Idaho politics reflect both tradition and change as the state hurtles toward a new century and new challenges. In this issue of FOCUS, we explore some of the issues that are shaping state government, from term limits and reapportionment to the growing influence of women lawmakers and the impact of the religious right. We also profile four politicos who have made their voices heard in the state and look at voter turnout and other state trends. Cover courtesy Hummel Architects.

On Job Rotation, Metin M. Cosgel, Thomas J. Miceli

Economics Working Papers

A fundamental principle of economics with which Adam Smith begins The Wealth of Nations is the division of labor. Some firms, however, have been pursuing a practice called job rotation, which assigns each worker not to a single and specific task but to a set of several tasks among which he or she rotates with some frequency. We examine the practice of job rotation as a serious alternative to specialization, with three objectives. The first is to consider current and historical examples of job rotation, in addition to those in Japanese firms, in order to examine the variety of contexts …

Social Support In Marriage: Translating Research Into Practical Applications For Clinicians, Kieran T. Sullivan, Lauri A. Pasch, Kathleen A. Eldridge, Thomas N. Bradbury

Psychology

How spouses support one another may be important in understanding and preventing marital distress, but has received relatively little attention. Instead, the behavioral model of marriage and corresponding treatment protocols have focused on the importance of good conflict management skills in preventing and treating marital distress. This paper outlines recent research indicating that couples social support skills predict marital outcome two years later, above and beyond conflict management skills. These results indicate that successful prevention and treatment programs may need to incorporate support skills training as well as conflict management training. Practical implications of this research are outlined, and specific …

Information Resources In Interdisciplinary Writing Program (Iwp) Courses: Winter And Spring 1998, Anne E. Zald, Nana Lowell

Library Faculty Research

The University of Washington (UW) Interdisciplinary Writing Program (IWP) provides five-credit expository writing courses each of which is linked to a discipline-based lecture course. Students enroll in both the writing and discipline-based courses, and complementary assignments allow them to improve their writing skills within a subject area of their own particular interest. In Winter and Spring of 1998, the UW UWired program sponsored a pilot program adding librarian-taught class sessions to existing IWP courses. These sessions focused on the use of information resources in the context of student research for writing assignments. Post-course questionnaires were composed primarily of items drawn …

The Effect Of Store Name, Brand Name And Price Discounts On Consumers' Evaluations And Purchase Intentions, Dhruv Grewal, R. Krishnan, Julie Baker, Norm A. Borin

Marketing

This paper develops and tests a conceptual model of the effects of store name, brand names and price discounts on consumers' evaluations (store image, brand quality perceptions, internal reference prices, and value perceptions) and purchase intentions. The moderating effects of consumer knowledge and prior ownership on the proposed relationships in the model are also explored. A store's perceived image is influenced by the store name and the quality of merchandise It carries. Results also indicate that internal reference price is influenced by price discounts, brand name, and a brand's perceived quality. The influence of price discounts on a brand's perceived …

The Form And Substance Of Ethics: Prenatal Diagnosis In The Baird Report, Rachel Ariss

Dalhousie Law Journal

This article analyses the employment of textual tactics in the Final Report of the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies. The author argues that the Commission uses these tactics to persuade several different audiences that its stance is correct, and simultaneously to manage dissent over new reproductive technologies. Analysis of textual tactics opens the ethical position of the Commission to substantive questioning. The authorfocuses on the Commission's discussion of prenatal diagnosis for genetic anomalies and concludes that the Commission fails to engage with ethical arguments put forward by persons with disabilities and their advocates. The conclusion also encourages the development …
