Remediating The Transient Music Student Using Hypermedia And Finale Performance Assessment™ : A Recorder Based Model., Nancy K. Philbeck

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to develop, implement and test a tool designed to help transient students gain the basic musical knowledge and skills needed to successfully complete a fourth-grade unit of recorder study. The project resulted in the development of a hypermedia-based application.

The seven-week study consisted of 49 fourth-grade students. Students were given pitch reading and rhythm pattern identification pre-tests and post-tests. Students participated in weekly tests and tutorial sessions via the hypermedia-based application. At the conclusion of the study, the students were given post-tests and a performance test.

"Recently I was at the Hands of Christ award ceremony, which is an award for current high school seniors who display leadership qualities within their catholic communities.

Broken Truth On The Ocean Floor, Jeff Frate

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"The following paper will confuse you; there are several seemingly unrelated themes starkly juxtaposed throughout. The topics are thrown together in seemingly random order to mimic what we see on television everyday - coverage of genocide in Rwanda immediately followed by Michael Jordan in Hanes boxers. The world is far more confusing than this paper."

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"Love. Where would we be without love? Love is a strong reoccurring theme in our everyday lives and in the Bible. It is one of those emotions that we can not live without. Love causes so many different reactions and sensations that sometimes it is very overwhelming in both good and bad ways. But then again love makes everything better and the world would be nowhere without love. This raises another question; what is love and how do we know if it is “true” love or not? The Bible …

I could be that man as well as anybody else could Be! Why not me? I’ll go and show them what they need to set them all free.” Because it’s about time that we saw, The …

Crumbs, Dogs, And Border - Crossings: A Postcolonial - Feminist Rereading Of The Syrophoenician Woman Story, Jane E. Hicks

Verbum

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.

"Recent scholarship in New Testament studies affords new insight into the character of the Syrophoenician woman in the Gospel of Mark, where she argues with a reluctant Jesus, urging, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” New insights build from materialist approaches to scripture, and taken together, the figure of the Syrophoenician woman as set in her likely social-historical context is suggestive for moral agency today. The passage as a whole has been interpreted in various ways. Some traditionalist Christian readings have found a moral about …

Review Of Unity Of Knowledge And Action: Toward A Nonrepresentational Theory Of Knowledge, Sor-Hoon Tan

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

The title of this book is inspired by the Neo-Confucian scholar, Wang Yangming (1472-1529). However, the volume is not devoted solely to Wang Yangming's philosophy about the unity of knowledge and action. Wang is only one of several thinkers brought into this philosophical conversation and does not even receive the most attention (Richard Rorty has that honor). The conver- sation is interesting and occasionally illuminating, although one is not sure at the end whether it is moving toward one particular nonrepresentation theory of knowledge or whether the conversation partners who share an aversion to representational theories might disagree profoundly about …
