...and native teaching assistants, the assessment of training, faculty responsible for training, follow up sessions, peer mentoring, etc. (Weimer, M., Svinicki, M. D. and Bauer, G. (1989), Designing programs to prepare TAs to teach. New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 1989: 57–70. doi: 10.1002/tl.37219893907) As reported by Ethington and Pisani,( Ethington, C.A.&Pisani, A. (1993). The RA and TA experience: Impediments and benefits to graduate study. Research in Higher Education, 34, 343–480.) many GTA’s treat their TA job as important but also have the feeling that their professional accomplishments as scientists are not measured by their teaching interests. In addition, faculty in various departments do not have any motivation to work with their TA’s to provide better education to the undergraduate classes and as a result, do not spend time on mentoring their teaching assistants (Shannon, D.M., Twale, D.J., & Moore, M.S. (1998). TA teaching effectiveness. Journal of Higher Education, 69, 440–466.) There is very little reported work on organized safety and equipment training for graduate teaching assistants. In most cases, if these trainings are offered, they are optional and are the responsibility of the department or professors. In many universities, there are mandatory trainings for TA’s but are limited to one day trainings (Ronkowski, S. (1989). Changes in teaching assistant concerns over time. Paper presented at the National Conference on the Training and Employment...

...Ryan Torres English 1A Professor Miller May 10, 2014 Her Righteous Stuff Space exploration has come a long way since that night of October 4, 1957, when Sputnik 1 was launched by the Soviet Union, eventually starting the Space Race. In Tom Wolfe’s book, The Right Stuff, he dives into the lives and perspectives of the male pilots/astronauts who accomplished one of the greatest feats of American and world history. But what about the women? In its early years, much like everything involving people in its early years, the space program was extremely male-dominant. However, in 1959 – according to an article from the Advances in Physiology Education – General Donald Flickinger and Dr. W. Randolph Lovelace II had suggested (from an engineering standpoint) it would have been “more practical” to try to send women into space because of their lower body weight and oxygen requirements. However, this suggestion was rejected by the Air Force. At least there was some sort of consideration of women involvement to play a crucial, early role in one of the most important times in American history. Despite the early times and setbacks for women, they continued to push through. Women have played a crucial role in the space program, from overcoming discrimination to make significant contributions in all aspects of space exploration, including mathematics and orbital flight. Women have made significant contributions to space flight, and one particular woman, Katherine G. Johnson, had had a...

...Information systems From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Information system (IS) is the study of complementary networks of hardware and software (see information technology) that people and organizations use to collect, filter, process, create and distribute data.[1][2][3] Information Systems encompasses a variety of disciplines such as: the analysis and design of systems, computer networking, information security, database management, and decision support systems. Information Management deals with the practical and theoretical problems of collecting and analyzing information in a business function area including business productivity tools, applications programming and implementation, electronic commerce, digital media production, data mining, and decision support. Communications and Networking deals with the telecommunication technologies. Information Systems bridges business and computer science using the theoretical foundations of information and computation to study various business models and related algorithmic processes within a computer science discipline.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Computer information system(s) (CIS) is a field studying computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their software and hardware designs, their applications, and their impact on society[15][16][17] while IS emphasizes functionality over design.[18] Any specific information system aims to support operations, management and decision making.[19] In a broad...

...Chapter I The Problem and Its Background Introduction: A true education must be a powerful force to bring about desired change. It is education and education alone that can bring about changes in knowledge, skills, attitude, appreciation and understanding things around us. That is why it is very saddening that since 1991 it has been stated that the quality of education is deteriorating and continuously lowering down as time passes by. What is even more saddening is that all the pointing fingers are towards our educators. Since the keystone in the educational edifice is doubtless the teachers. On him depends much more than any other, the progress and prosperity of children. Nobody can effectively take his place or influence children in the manners or degree; it is possible, for him alone to do. It is strongly believed that be a teacher is to be a member of holy order. That is why instead of putting all the blame to them why not try to investigate and find ways on how to help them achieve the kind of lifestyle they deserve. Why not try to know the things that my satisfied them with their noble job Since according to Rao, R. B. 1989, the quality on effectiveness of teachers is considered to be associated with his satisfaction towards his profession. Job satisfaction represents the considerations of person’s attitude towards or about the job. In general, job satisfaction is the attitude towards the job as a whole. Job satisfaction is a function of satisfaction with different...

...At liftoff, Matt Eversmann said a Hail Mary. He was curled into a seat between two helicopter crew chiefs, the knees of his long legs up to his shoulders. Before him, jammed on both sides of the Black Hawk helicopter, was his "chalk," twelve young men in flak vests over tan desert camouflage fatigues. He knew their faces so well they were like brothers. The older guys on this crew, like Eversmann, a staff sergeant with five years in at age twenty-six, had lived and trained together for years. Some had come up together through basic training, jump school, and Ranger school. They had traveled the world, to Korea, Thailand, Central America... they knew each other better than most brothers did. They'd been drunk together, gotten into fights, slept on forest floors, jumped out of airplanes, climbed mountains, shot down foaming rivers with their hearts in their throats, baked and frozen and starved together, passed countless bored hours, teased one another endlessly about girlfriends or lack of same, driven in the middle of the night from Fort Benning to retrieve each other from some diner or strip club on Victory Drive after getting drunk and falling asleep or pissing off some barkeep. Through all those things, they had been training for a moment like this. It was the first time the lanky sergeant had been put in charge, and he was nervous about it. Pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death, Amen. It was midafternoon, October 3, 1993. Eversmann's Chalk Four...
