GENERAL COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is a study of Genesis through Deuteronomy. It builds on the methodology of the first Inductive Biblical Studies course by further use of what has been previously learned and by emphasizing the study of books as wholes. Accordingly, there is special focus on the initial survey of books as wholes, the interpretation of parts of books in the context of the books as a whole and the synthesis of books. In addition, attention is given to thinking, valuing and living biblically by learning how to apply Scripture to life and ministry.
Commentary: The Trajectory Of Complex Business Contracting In Latin America, Claire Hill
Commentary: The Trajectory Of Complex Business Contracting In Latin America, Claire Hill
Articles
By some accounts, Latin American contract documentation increas- ingly resembles U.S. contract documentation.1 This is puzzling, given that the U.S. documentation has developed in a broader institutional context particular to the U.S. The context includes a particular type of legal train- ing, particular types of law firms, particular legal institutions, and so on. Why is this occurring, and what effect will it have on contracting practice in Latin America? This commentary briefly considers these issues; it con- siders as well some broader implications of international convergence in contracting practices.

Melvil Dewey And The Dewey Decimal Classification System, Gina Pauley
Melvil Dewey And The Dewey Decimal Classification System, Gina Pauley
Honors Capstones
Melvil Dewey had a great influence on the way libraries classify books. Much research and planning was involved with his Dewey Decimal Classification System. Most school libraries today still use his classification system. Therefore, students need to gain an understanding of this system in their school careers. Research was conducted on Melvil Dewey, in order to gain more understanding about his life, his classification system, his influences, and his ideas, which are still being used in libraries today. After learning about Melvil Dewey's life and his classification system, it will be easier to teach the concepts to the students. The …
The Shaky Foundation Of “Statutory Platforms”: A Comment On Baier V. Alberta, Robert E. Charney
The Shaky Foundation Of “Statutory Platforms”: A Comment On Baier V. Alberta, Robert E. Charney
The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference
In Baier v. Alberta the Supreme Court of Canada considered the validity of Alberta legislation, enacted in 2004, which established a province-wide restriction on school employees serving as school trustees on any Alberta school board. The majority of the Court upheld the validity of this statute, finding that while serving as a school trustee is an expressive activity, the province had no obligation to provide teachers with a “statutory platform for expression” and there was, the refore, no infringement of Charter section 2(b). This paper argues that the majority erred in seeing this as a freedom of expression case at …

Welcome to the School of Architecture. Short of spending an entire semester in the building, I think perusing this volume is the next best thing to being here. The work you will see of the students is representative of the best but the variety and quantity also attests to the depth of accomplishment - significant achievement is not found in just a few stars, but is evident across the entire student body. While the work should depict the broad range of issues, media and ideas underlying architectural thinking these days, I also think that a clear educational philosophy will be …
How Learning Mathematics Parallels Learning A Second Language And Implications For Teaching, Michael E. Matthews
How Learning Mathematics Parallels Learning A Second Language And Implications For Teaching, Michael E. Matthews
Essays in Education
This paper investigates the hypothesis that the language and symbols used to communicate mathematics (ML) can be considered a separate language from natural languages like English. Using definitions and characteristics found in natural languages, the paper investigates when and how these aspects show up in ML. ML is established as a separate language in most features. The paper continues by combining major findings in second language acquisition research with mathematics education research to develop suggestions to improve ML learning and thus improve mathematical learning.

The Effect Of Awareness Of Moraic Structure On Native English Speakers' Listening Comprehension Of Japanese-English Speakers, Yasushi Kyutoku
The Effect Of Awareness Of Moraic Structure On Native English Speakers' Listening Comprehension Of Japanese-English Speakers, Yasushi Kyutoku
Psychology Dissertations - Archive
The main aim of the series of three experiments presented here was to find interventions to reduce miscommunication between native and non-native English speakers. Thirty four Standard English (SE) speakers in Experiment 1, twelve SE speakers in Experiment 2, and one hundred and thirty one SE speakers in Experiment 3 were recruited from the Psychology Participant Pool at the University of Texas, Arlington. Experiments 1 and 3 served (1) to analyze the effect of differences in phonetic rhythm between Japanese and SE language on SE speakers' listening comprehension of Japanese-accented English; (2) to analyze the effect of training types on …
The Verbs Of Esther: A Discourse Analysis Of A Post-Exilic Text, Jill Lynn Riepe
The Verbs Of Esther: A Discourse Analysis Of A Post-Exilic Text, Jill Lynn Riepe
Linguistics & TESOL Dissertations - Archive
The Verbs of Esther: A Discourse Analysis of a Post-Exilic Text seeks to describe the narrative main clause verbs, the quotation formula verbs, and the verbs in quotations found in the text of Esther. These verbs provide key information about the discourse structure of the text. While there are several examples of discourse studies in pre-exilic Biblical Hebrew, there are only a few in post-exilic Biblical Hebrew and none using the text of Esther. The analysis depends on the theoretical backing of Longacre and Miller. While many of their findings and analysis remain true for this post-exilic text, there are …
(Im)Politeness In Casual Conversations Among Female Mandarin Speakers: A Practice-Based Perspective, Hui-Yen Wang
(Im)Politeness In Casual Conversations Among Female Mandarin Speakers: A Practice-Based Perspective, Hui-Yen Wang
Linguistics & TESOL Dissertations - Archive
The fact that people have the choice to use different words and attitudes to convey messages of various significance has been attributed to politeness concerns. However, what constitutes politeness varies from culture to culture and person to person. Therefore, a universal definition for what politeness is does not seem plausible. Furthermore, using the term `politeness' to indicate the study of all kinds of linguistic behavior is problematic because `politeness' seems to exclude behavior that is inappropriate, aggressive or rude. To provide a more comprehensive account of politeness, this research draws upon the notion of "(im)politeness" (Watts, 2003) to account for …

Reading Nairobi: Place, Space, And Difference At The 2007 World Social Forum, Conway
Societies Without Borders
The author seeks to elaborate an approach to more adequately analyze the World Social Forum (WSF), the annual meeting held by members of the anti-globalization or alter-globalization movement, both as somewhat coherent global political process while also recognizing the exploding plurality of the WSF as a multi-faceted phenomenon. He presents an interpretative framework that allows for different and intersecting levels of analysis. To assess the significance of the Nairobi event in Africa, he situates it in the history of the WSF process.

Freeing Software And Opening Space: Social Forums And The Cultural Politics Of Technology, Juris, Giuseppe Caruso
Societies Without Borders
The authors highlight how the World Social Forum (WSF), the annual meeting held by members of the anti-globalization or alter-globalization movement, has unexpected consequences for communications. They particularly explore what they refer to as the cultural politics of technology within the social forums through a comparative analysis of the political goals and struggles associated with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) use within the global, European and the U.S. social forum processes.
Critical Impairments To Globalizing The Western Human Rights Discourse, Imani
Critical Impairments To Globalizing The Western Human Rights Discourse, Imani
Societies Without Borders
This article focuses on the philosophical implications of Euro-centrism and Eurocentric discourse for the Western human rights narrative. It is argued that there is insufficient theoretical and practical consideration of those implications, particular for advocacy and activity in the so-called "Third World" where such arguments frequently become mere vehicles for the advance of economic and political neocolonialism. In many ways, colonialism with a humanistic, liberal democratic "face". Finally, a proposition is advanced that if the Western human rights discourse is to be effectively corrected and evolve into a global one, critiques of Euro-centrism from outside the Western discursive world must …
Immigration Reform From The Outside In, Bill Piatt
Immigration Reform From The Outside In, Bill Piatt
Faculty Articles
Immigration reform is made up of two differing extreme positions, but by seeking common ground, a more fair and balanced approach may be adopted in the best interests of all.Rather than trying to analyze positions as conservative or liberal, it makes more sense to view the extremes as a “closed border” versus “open border” approach. The extreme positions will not work, so a more middle-ground position would require a thoughtful examination of a number of issues. Those issues are what are the costs and benefits of removing those already illegally here; what role should the federal, state, and local governments …

Time In Archaeology: An Introduction, Simon J. Holdaway, Luann Wandsnider
Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications
Lifeway reconstruction is listed as one of the objectives of "World Prehistory," the ubiquitous course taught in universities and colleges the world over (e.g., Fagan 1995:8). It complements well the other subdisciplines of anthropology, at least for beginning anthropology students, offering them a familiar approach to foreign material: if cultural anthropologists study the behavior of present-day (or at least near-to-present-day) peoples, then archaeologists may be expected to deal with peoples' behavior from the past. Certainly, some archaeologists study the past aided by textual records, and some cultural anthropologists are interested in past historical experience. But this overlap only enhances the …

Linking Planning Theories With Factors Influencing Local Environmental-Plan Quality, Zhenghong Tang
Linking Planning Theories With Factors Influencing Local Environmental-Plan Quality, Zhenghong Tang
Community and Regional Planning Program: Faculty Scholarly and Creative Activity
The major planning theories provide a theoretical foundation for environmental planning. This study extends the major planning theories and develops a robust conceptual framework to measure the key factors influencing local environmental-plan quality. A random sample of forty Californian local comprehensive land-use plans and associated planning processes is analyzed to identify the critical factors influencing environmental-plan quality. Results from multiple regression analysis indicate that regular updating, environmental-information management and sharing, and planners contribute significantly to local environmental-plan quality. The findings expand established planning theories and practice by suggesting ways to improve local environmental-plan quality.
