A Study Of Faculty Perceptions Of The Use Of Student Evaluations Of Teaching In Faculty Assessments, Promotion And Tenure Decisions, Judith Kanegita Cineas

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

The relationship between student evaluations of teaching (SET), grade inflation, and faculty assessments, promotion and tenure (FAPT) decisions is an issue that has received much attention in the past 30-40 years. The literature speculates that the use of SET ratings in FAPT decisions has resulted in faculty giving students higher grades to secure higher SET. This trend, it is held, has contributed to grade inflation, which decreases the reliability of assessing teaching effectiveness using student grades since they are not reflective of actual learning. It also decreases the validity of SET as an evaluation method if inflated grades are yielding …

The Green Cities: An Exploration Into The Twin Concepts Of Urban Sustainability And Conservation Psychology, Emily P. Goodman

Psychology Honors Projects

The increasingly urban world population presents an interesting obstacle to a planet that finds itself in what is being termed a “global crisis.” In this paper, the challenges of urban sustainability are explored. This exploration is complemented by a survey of the literature in conservation psychology, with a particular focus on theories of behavior change. Case studies of sustainability organizations in the Twin Cities (of Minnesota) illustrate how these academic theories are applied in the field. The conclusion of the paper highlights the most salient messages that can be derived from analysis of the literature and case studies.

Climate Change And Student Behavior: Recommendations For The University Of Richmond, Claire Calise, Geoff Cox, Jennifer Fitts, Francisco Hazera, Kim Huson, Sam Pugsley, Blake Ramsby, Mariela Rich, Kellen Seligman, Naoum Tavantzis, Christine Wrublesky

Environmental Studies Senior Seminar Projects

We, the Environmental Studies Senior Seminar Class of 2008, choose to recognize climate change as an imminent threat. After rigorous examination of the scientific, social, and political aspects of climate change, we initially wanted to help construct the carbon emissions inventory required in the PCC. However, citing their ability to build the inventory through existing University institutions, our administration steered us towards the Scope 3 emissions inventory, a component which focuses on student behavior. While we found Scope 3 too limiting, we decided our goal as a class was to impact student climate change awareness on campus. Therefore, we separated …

Giving Process Its Due : Can Collaboration Help Environmental Markets Succeed?, John Robert Cochran

Dissertations and Theses

Emerging environmental markets assign economic value to ecosystem services and exchange them in market-like transactions. These markets are characterized by diverse stakeholder interests interacting with minimally defined transaction steps and high uncertainty. In this context, process plays an important role in shaping the institutions that make markets work or fail. If process matters, then market organizers need to intentionally craft processes just as they intentionally design institutions. This project explores a subset of four relatively established water quality trading programs that involved diverse stakeholders, and used differing forms of collaboration to design institutions. This research tests whether sometimes subtle changes …

Attitudes And Practices Of Clergy Members In Rural And Urban Areas, Susan Dutcher

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

As mental health professionals become increasingly aware of the importance of religious values to clients there should be attempts not only to incorporate religion therapeutically but also to develop effective alliances with religious experts, in particular, members of the clergy. Since clergy are often on the frontlines of mental health issues, further research regarding referral patterns and collaboration is necessary. Clergy may be especially important in mental health care for rural communities where there is often a lack of adequate mental health resources and limited education surrounding mental health problems. The purpose of this study encompassed several different objectives. First, …

Language And Story: An Argument For The Right Reading Of Tolkien’S Legendarium, Lucas D. Jarmin

Senior Honors Theses

Current views on the translation of Tolkien are that his works are completely translatable and understandable. The Lord of the Rings has been translated into many languages, and has sold millions the world over.

While an argument cannot be made for the non-translation of Tolkien’s works, his tales should be experienced in English whenever possible. J.R.R. Tolkien was by profession a philologist, and by hobby a creator of languages and story. His life work was the creation of a unifying legendarium, spanning thousands of years and dozens of languages. These languages and Tolkien’s use of English form the backbone for …

Pedestrian Corridors In Downtown Dallas, Texas And Their Implications On The Movement Of Downtown Residents, Lori Molitor Lively

Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive

The City of Dallas has embarked upon an aggressive economic redevelopment effort in the downtown area. Economic goals of this redevelopment effort are closely tied to and dependent upon a critical mass of downtown residents. The target number of residents is 10,000 by 2015 (Strategic Engagement: Dallas' Economic Development Plan. City of Dallas, Office of Economic Development, 2005.) However, the urban form of downtown Dallas is a vehicle-oriented network of streets. Although downtown residency numbers have climbed from only 896 (excluding institutionalized persons) to 2,277 in the decade between 1990 and 2000 (Census.gov) and was estimated by the metropolitan planning …

Multimetric Bioassessment Of Florida's Peace River: Exploring Abiotic And Biotic Relationships, Philipp J. Conner

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

Florida's Rivers have undergone substantial change since the early 201 h century. Urbanization, mass agriculture, and phosphate mining have affected many watersheds across Florida, and the Peace River Watershed is no exception (Nordlie 1990). With altered flow patterns, agricultural and mining runoff, and loss of habitat, the . environmental integrity of the Peace River is in decline (Florida Department of Environmental Protection [FDEP] 2007). As environmental integrity of an aquatic system such as the Peace River declines, environmental monitoring and analysis becomes critical. Monitoring of water quality is traditionally abiotic and chemical and includes measurements of organic pollutants, turbidity, pH, …
