The research stages divide into three parts, namely planning, conducting, and reporting. SLR research in this waqf is interesting because we will know where the research position is currently developing.

Shakespeare And The Chronicles: The Test Case Of Richard Ii, Brandon Coimbra

Honors Program Theses and Projects

Shakespeare wrote most of what we know as his English history plays rather early in his career. He was skilled at making the genre more than a copy of the published historical documents and chronicles of his day. Scholarship has long recognized his favorite sources and has established a solid collection of the material he used to bring his country’s past to life on stage. There are many scholarly studies of the influence of Froissart’s, Holinshed’s, Hall’s and Stow’s Chronicles, among others, and they usually describe what Shakespeare borrowed or sometimes even altered from those sources. What they do …

I’m Going to Go Back There Someday: Reading, Writing, and Directing Hauntings in Four American Plays

In this personal and formal research essay, I discuss and compare the plays A Raisin in the Sun, Fefu and Her Friends, Angels in America, and I’m Going to Go Back There Someday (my own work, which I am also directing in partial fulfillment for Honors in Theater and Dance). These plays all bring forth hauntings, despite and in some cases because of their differences in content and style—ranging from realism to the avant-garde. I base my discussion …

Covering The Basics: The Importance Of A Good Layout And Strong Thesis, Adam Robinson

Tutor's Column

Thesis writing is key to tutoring. A strong thesis performs numerous functions: covering smaller concerns, teaching writers how to structure their paper, and giving a strong layout. Using a focus on thesis teaching makes the tutoring session easier and more efficient for both the tutor and client too.

Restoring Balance – Reconstructing Indigenous Strategies In King Philip’S War, William G. Merritt

Honors Program Theses and Projects

King Philip’s War (1675 – 1678) was one of several "Indian Wars" in 17^th-century colonial America. It was also referred to as “the first Indian war." However, there had been a previous conflict known as The Pequot War (1636 – 1638). Unlike the previous war and unrelated skirmishes over the years, King Philip’s War was a regional conflict that quickly spread throughout coastal and interior Native homelands in what is now called New England. While issues that caused the war built up over decades, the war formally began on the 25th of June,1675, when a band of Pauquunaukit …

Enhancing Performance Through Research And Analysis, Sarah Brewer

Recital Papers

Music can be both deeply expressive and highly academic. One can create beautiful music by intuition alone, using both what is written on the page and their own musicality to produce a unique version of any musical work. A musician can also create beautiful music by utilizing research and analysis of a work to determine proper performance practice, reveal composer intentions, and inform musical decisions for a piece of music. By using both analytical and expressive methods, the performer can effectively produce art, giving a piece the potential to exist in versions varying in detail but authentically communicating the message …

Make Listening Visible, Carson Brown

Tutor's Column

Online tutoring can make it hard to feel like tutors are engaging with students and actually helping them. Writing consultants can avoid feeling this way by showing the student they are actively listening. This paper will highlight some of the ways one can demonstrate active listening through backchanneling, gaze, and rephrasing student’s words. Improving active listening skills is a great way to foster engagement from the student and have more fulfilling sessions.

Soft Skills: The Importance Of Empathy In An Online Writing Center Appointment, Halli Bleak

Tutor's Column

Writing center tutors must practice being empathetic with the students they work with. Students tend to feel their writing is a representation of their worth. As tutors, especially in the online setting, we must find ways to connect with students as collaborators, learners, and fellow writers. This requires that we remember that the student and their wellbeing are more important than the writing. This also means that we should focus on the writer and their development over the expectations we or their professors may hold. Empathy is an important soft skill that we must practice, develop, and put to use …

Scaffolding In Online Tutoring: Addressing The Issue Of Productivity, Nathan Franson

Tutor's Column

The expanding online tutoring format poses unique challenges when attempting to maximize communication and productivity in a 20–25-minute writing center session. Relatively recent literature has revealed that discontented students have reported in feedback surveys that their sessions felt unhelpful or fruitless. This situation has been termed: "non-productive non-directivity,” and it may be attributed to an over-reliance on open-ended questions. It is of interest to determine whether this is truly helping students in online settings. While tutoring roles have not changed, the impersonal nature of an online session requires a more perceptive approach to tutoring: recognizing that a student may need …

Pick Your Poison: Fall Down A Flight Of Stairs Or Have Your Qualifications Questioned, Aubrey Hampton

Tutor's Column

In the writing center, self-confidence is essential. Students respect and trust the advice of a tutor who can exhibit confidence in themselves. Self-confidence in tutoring can be derived from personal experience as well as from observations of the methods of other fellow tutors. Peer observations provide an opportunity for tutors to learn additional skills, and to gain confidence in themselves.

Independence And Interdependence In The Writing Center, Candace Heki

Tutor's Column

The writing center should be a space where we, as tutors, promote both independence and interdependence. We should strive to help students improve their skills, so they have the confidence to move forward with their paper and future papers on their own. We should also encourage interdependence through collaboration with the writing center. Students can benefit from their tutor offering unique perspectives and a place where the writer can talk through their ideas. Tutors need to be available to meet students’ individual needs by offering a balance between our focuses on self-sufficiency and collaboration.

The Empathetic Tutor, Kristina Carter

Tutor's Column

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, writing center tutoring moved online, and fewer social interactions occurred. This issue led to researching how to empathize with people, and specifically students in a virtual setting. Many people have emphasized the importance of focusing on the student and their individual needs. There has also been a shift in the focus of being a compassionate listener and ally to students. This essay compiles research from various academic journals, websites that list essential job skills, and news articles on empathy. This paper also researches standard methods used to implement empathy and how this looks in the …

Praise As A Learned Behaviour, Rebekah Jensen

Tutor's Column

Writing Centers should teach tutors how to praise to create a better experience for students and tutors alike. Tutors are often encouraged to give praise in their comments and conversations with students, but are rarely instructed on how to do so effectively. This article examines the purpose of praise in tutoring, why it is important for tutors to learn how to praise, and what strategies may be used to teach praise to tutors.

Preferred Narratives And Their Impact On Historical Memory: An Examination Through Comparison Of Twentieth Century Pandemics, Renee Semple

Honors Scholar Theses

Societal response to a crisis and the narratives that emerge from the event(s) often vary and oppose one another. A narrative can be considered a point of view or a lens that is often cultivated through experiences and carries its own tone while telling events. This thesis compares the narratives that emerged from both the 1918 and 1957 influenza pandemics. Examining the 1918 influenza pandemic reveals both a public and a private narrative, in which the public narrative is the preferred out of the two. Filled with optimism, the preferred public narrative focused on moving forward and furthering scientific research—a …

"That Is A Huge Wardrobe And Clothing Mistake!": The Unethical Consumption Habits Of Youtube's Fashion Influencers And The Environmental Consequences Of A Disposable Lifestyle, Isabel Thornton

Pell Scholars and Senior Theses

People flock to YouTube for the latest videos from their favorite influencers, not realizing that the consumption habits of those influencers could lead to environmental disaster. This thesis builds upon the conversation about the need for sustainable messages on social media that target young, impressionable audiences. A detailed study of 15 videos from five fashion YouTubers reveals that: (1) fast fashion brands dominate across the platform; (2) fashion YouTubers fail to take responsibility for their unethical consumption habits; and (3) none of them successfully avoid unsustainable fashion choices, despite some efforts to do so. Meaningful solutions to the fast fashion …

Deodand, Brian L. Frye

Seattle University Law Review Online

Deodands are a delightful example of a common law doctrine that caused something to happen: the Crown was enabled to tax tortfeasors. But not in a way anyone expected at the time or anyone understands today. Look on their logic and despair. You’ll never figure it out, no matter how hard you try. And that’s what makes them so lyrical. The concept of the deodand is beautiful even though we can’t understand it. Or rather, it’s beautiful because we can’t understand it. If we understood deodands, surely they would be as prosaic as life insurance and conceptual art.
