Adapting The One-Minute Paper For Active Learning, Richard Holtzman Jun 2007

Adapting The One-Minute Paper For Active Learning, Richard Holtzman

History and Social Sciences Faculty Journal Articles

This paper suggests a simple exercise that facilitates active learning by embedding regular opportunities for student participation within the structure of an undergraduate course. This exercise involves the use of in-class participation assignments, which are adaptations of a popular classroom assessment technique, the one-minute paper. While likewise serving as an assessment tool, the suggested exercise is also able to address an additional range of instructional challenges, such as stimulating critical thinking, facilitating engagement with course materials, encouraging participation, and motivating preparation.

The Colors Of Our Lives, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus Jun 2007

The Colors Of Our Lives, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

"The Colors of Our Lives" has very special meaning for me. I see and hear music in textures and colors. The words have texture and color. The songs we sing, the moods they express are in bright technicolor. I think this may be the very reason that new music is so exciting to me. What will I see in my mind's eye as I read the music and the text to myself "To Singing," one of my favorite songs on this concert, is a huge rainbow of colors. We're taken from the bleak grays of a questioning child tormented by …

Theses and Dissertations

Carlo Cattaneo (1801-1869) would have been a remarkable man in any time period.
