Use Of Force And Constitutionalism, Lori Fisler Damrosch

Faculty Scholarship

Are constitutional democracies more inclined than other kinds of regimes to observe the international law of the United Nations Charter on use of force? Are they relatively more vulnerable to unlawful behavior by others? How can constitutional democracies ensure fidelity to their underlying constitutional principles when they engage in multinational military operations for preservation or restoration of international peace? These and related questions at the intersection of the international and national legal orders merit careful attention as political structures around the world undergo post-Cold War transformation.

"Real-World" Grading: An Application, Keith T. Hardeman

Iowa Journal of Communication

As opposed to simply preparing students to take our exams, one response might be to furnish lifelike hands-on experiences which help demonstrate what the corporate world is really like, while still providing exposure to the liberal arts. I have done so by eliminating letter grades in my professional communication course and substituting them with a series of "pay raises and promotions," depending on the student's class performance. A course such as business and professional communication is really the ideal setting for this grading system, but, conceivably, it could be employed for virtually any class. This approach may not be as …

A Status Report On Theatre Programs In Iowa's Community Colleges, Sarah Schaefer

Iowa Journal of Communication

Iowa has a strong tradition of supporting the arts in its school systems. This can be seen in the theatre programs that enable thousands of secondary students to participate in competitions, musicals and plays. In their study of the status of speech and theatre education in Iowa's high schools, Erbert and Trank report that their data revealed that there continues to be "strong participation in speech and theatre programs statewide" and that there is "strong support for speech and theatre programs by school administration" (29). This support continues into Iowa's community colleges as can be seen from the fact that …

Psychosocial And Sociocultural Factors Associated With Cross-Cultural Adaptability, Pamela Plunk Kerouac

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This survey study examined a set of psychosocial and sociocultural variables to determine if there were any significant group differences in responses to an instrument that measured crosscultural adaptability among urban high school teachers. A goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of sociocultural experience and the perceived coping efficacy measures of cross-cultural adaptability. This study sought insight into the relationship between teachers' previous experiences and their perceived instructional and cross-cultural efficacy. Using a survey research design that included a Personal Data Questionnaire and an instrument developed by Kelley and Meyers ( 1992), the Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI), …

Selling Death Short: The Regulatory And Policy Implications Of Viatical Settlements, Miriam R. Albert

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

In the late 1990’s, the escalation of AIDS into a national crisis has devastated its victims' health as well as their finances. This crisis generated the need for innovations both in medical approaches to the treatment of AIDS and HIV, and in financial options available to help patients finance their medical and other living expenses. One response of the financial community has been the creation of vehicles to provide terminally-ill policyholders with early access to the death benefits under their life insurance policies, which would otherwise be unavailable to them during their lives.

The article explores the creation and growth …

Aiswa Literacy Project B P-3 Assessment : Teachers Developing Effective Literacy Assessment Strategies, Judith Rivalland

Research outputs pre 2011

This project originated from recommendations from Phase 1 in the development of the National Literacy Plan for the Association of Independent Schools. These recommendations included the need for a systematic approach to literacy assessment and teaching. The current project aimed to address this situation. The primary purposes of the project were: to explore how teachers can best improve outcomes for children by understanding assessment measures more effectively; to provide time for reflection and discussion about what participating teachers find out from using the assessment procedures; to explore how this knowledge will help teachers select appropriate teaching for all children, particularly …
