Improving The Writing Skills Of At-Risk Students Through The Use Of Writing Across The Curriculum And Writing Process Instruction, Theresa A. Dean-Rumsey

Masters Theses

A plan for improving the writing skills of at-risk students was developed and implemented. Subjects were fifteen seventh-grade Title I students who demonstrated weak writing skills. Evidence for the existence of the problem included MEAP test scores and teacher observations. A review of research on writing pointed to the following solutions to the problem: increasing students’ experiences with writing by implementing writing across the curriculum, improving students’ knowledge and use of the writing process, and direct instruction in writing strategies and techniques. Results of the post-test did not indicate a significant improvement in writing had occurred as a result of …

Determination Of Resistance Across Development Section Return Stoppings, James Robert Gandy

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This thesis describes a ventilation engineering study to determine the resistance across return stoppings on continuous miner development sections. By determining the resistance across return stoppings, one equivalent resistance branch can be created to model leakage across a return stopping line on a development section. This thesis evaluates four types of return stoppings to determine which construction techniques and materials provide the highest resistance, thus allowing minimal leakage from the intake to return entry.;The first phase of the thesis outlines the data gathering process including; station locations, equipment requirements and techniques. Second, the data is used to create a model …

Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" As A Modern Version Of T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land", Jennifer A. Campbell

English Theses

Although T. S. Eliot and Allen Ginsberg lived their lives differently and experienced society in different ways, some threads of similarity run throughout their work. This paper is a three-part study of the relations between Eliot and Ginsberg. It begins with an examination of how each poet views the literary tradition and the role of the poet within it, then explores the similarities in form and content between "The Waste Land" and "Howl," and ends with a discussion of how each man would attempt to reverse the cycle of modern deterioration. The main argument of the paper is that Allen …

Monitoring And Banding The Henslow's Sparrow In Garrett County, Maryland, Connie S. Skipper

Maryland Birdlife

The Henslow's Sparrow (Ammodramus henslowii) is a Maryland threatened species. It has gradually disappeared from Maryland except for the westernmost counties, where it uses the newly formed habitat of reclaimed strip mines. In 19891 discovered a small colony of these sparrows. I began to monitor that site, two other colonies, and to actively search for new colonies. From these observations I hypothesized that Henslow's Sparrows return to previous nesting sites, or nearby suitable sites, until vegetation becomes unfit for nesting purposes. To test this hypothesis I began a study with two objectives: (1) field visits to monitor known breeding populations …

A 4,000 Year Pollen Record Of Vegetation Changes, Sea Level Rise, And Hurricane Disturbance In Atchafalaya March Of Southern Louisiana, Xinyu Zhou

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Sediment cores from the Atchafalaya Marsh in southern Louisiana were intensively studied by means of pollen and loss-on-ignition analyses to reconstruct the history of late-Holocene environmental changes and hurricane strikes in the area. The data indicate that the coring site was occupied by a fresh marsh about 4000 years ago. Afterwards, the fresh marsh was replaced by a brackish marsh in the following 400 years. The marsh became a salt marsh in response to sea level rise beginning 3250 yr BP. During 2800-1200 yr BP, the study site became an estuarine environment inundated by sea water as a result of …

Preference For Top Managerial Positions As A Result Of Utility-Maximization Behavior Under Religious Moral Prescriptions, Corneliu Munteanu

Student Work

The analysis described in this study is focused on the influence of religious ethics over individuals' tendency to seek top-managerial positions in their professional activity. The analysis assumes agents maximize utility. According to religious doctrines, afterlife salvation is a goal which could be accomplished only by following certain prescribed behavioural norms. While salvation can be considered as being an identical goal for most religions, the- way of pursuing it differs from one religion to another. This difference in means of attaining salvation reflects on various aspects of human behaviour. One of these aspects is the professional conduct of people engaging …

Priviledged Servants: Community Service In Private High Schools, Ellen Clarissa Reynolds

Thesis, Dissertations, Student Creative Activity, and Scholarship

Traditionally, the school has been the primary role model for citizenship development. One method schools may use to convey the roles and models of involved citizens is through community service experiences.

Public and private schools throughout the United States include community service as part of the curriculum and/or extracurricular activities. Service promotes responsibility, a caring ethic, and growth of community. Service can improve society through individuals working together and forming a bond with one another. Service provides opportunities to witness the diverse cultures of society. Through service, students may experience affective and cognitive development, form relationships with community members, and …
