A Qualitative Study Of A Summer Bridge Program's Contribution To The Persistence Of Underrepresented Students Of Color At A Selective, Predominately White Institution , Patrick Velasquez Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

This proposed presentation will describe a qualitative study of the experiences of ten underrepresented students (African Americans, Chicanos, and Filipinos) of color who attend a public, selective, predominately white, research institution: the University of California, San Diego. More specifically, it will examine the effects of those students' participation in a summer bridge program on their "ease of transition" (Hurtado and Carter, 1997) and their academic and social integration during their freshmen year (Tinto, 1993). In addition, the study provides a context for assessing the students' experiences by also examining their perceptions of the campus climate (Hurtado et al., 1999) at …

Student Perceptions Of Institutional And Instructor Based Techniques For Dealing With Academic Dishonesty, Donald D. Carpenter, Trevor S. Harding, Susan M. Montgomery, Nicholas H. Steneck, Eric Dey Nov 2002

Student Perceptions Of Institutional And Instructor Based Techniques For Dealing With Academic Dishonesty, Donald D. Carpenter, Trevor S. Harding, Susan M. Montgomery, Nicholas H. Steneck, Eric Dey

Materials Engineering

Research suggests that a large percentage of engineering students engage in some form of academic dishonesty. To investigate this very serious concern, the authors have undertaken a research project on the Perceptions and Attitudes toward Cheating among Engineering Students (PACES). The premise of this research is that a combination of pressures, rather than malicious motivations, account for most student cheating. This paper focuses on a portion of the PACES survey; student opinions on what actions might prevent cheating. The authors examined data collected from approximately 350 engineering and pre-engineering undergraduate students at 5 institutions. In the survey, the students were …

A Comparison Of The Role Of Academic Dishonesty Policies Of Several Colleges On The Cheating Behavior Of Engineering And Pre-Engineering Students, Trevor S. Harding, Donald D. Carpenter, Susan M. Montgomery, Nicholas H. Steneck Nov 2002

A Comparison Of The Role Of Academic Dishonesty Policies Of Several Colleges On The Cheating Behavior Of Engineering And Pre-Engineering Students, Trevor S. Harding, Donald D. Carpenter, Susan M. Montgomery, Nicholas H. Steneck

Materials Engineering

While universities take a variety of approaches in dealing with academic dishonesty, current evidence suggests that institutions with honor codes have a significantly lower level of self-reported cheating as compared to nonhonor code institutions. This paper focuses on five institutions and their effectiveness in dealing with cheating, specifically among engineering or pre-engineering students. The authors' goal is to provide greater understanding of what institutional approaches appear to be most effective in minimizing cheating among this specific sub-group. The paper presents a predictive model of the extent of cheating among engineering students at these institutions using a variety of variables, including …

Measuring Packet Reordering, John M. Bellardo, Stefan Savage Nov 2002

Measuring Packet Reordering, John M. Bellardo, Stefan Savage

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The Internet architecture provides an unsequenced datagram delivery service. Nevertheless, many higher-layer protocols, such as TCP, assume that packets are usually delivered in sequence, and consequently suffer significant degradation when packets are reordered in flight. While there have been several recent proposals to create protocols that adapt to reordering, evaluating their effectiveness requires understanding the dynamics of the reordering processes prevalent in the Internet. Unfortunately, Internet packet sequencing is a poorly characterized and understudied behavior. This failing can be largely attributed to the lack of accurate and universally applicable methods for measuring packet reordering. In this paper, we describe a …

The Abcs Of Tenure: What All African-American Faculty Should Know, Sharon E. Moore Ph.D. Nov 2002

The Abcs Of Tenure: What All African-American Faculty Should Know, Sharon E. Moore Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

African-American faculty are extremely valuable contributors to their respective areas. They bring direct knowledge of the strengths and needs of their communities and serve as role models to aspiring students. Unfortunately some African-American faculty are not successful at getting promotion and or tenure in part because of a lack of mentors and or a lack of clarity regarding tenure criteria. This paper focuses on four issues that are relevant to the tenure process, namely, politics, the publication process, developing a research agenda and submission of the tenure "package".
