    1. very rapid demobilization–return to traditionally small army and navy but send army troops west

      The "Wild West" and the American Frontier Go to PBS.org for a visual tour of their documentary series called The West. View the following episodes: Episode 5: The Grandest Enterprise Under God, Episode 6: Fight No More Forever, Episode 7: The Geography of Hope, and Episode 8: One Sky Above Us (Introduction through Lachryma Montis required, you may complete it if you wish). Each starts with an introduction and then has links for the remainder of the episode which are broken into various headings/subjects. It appears as narrative text with document excerpts and numerous photographs/visuals. Note: For my audio-visual learners out there, the main UCF campus Library has this series on video. You may view it in full but please do so at viewing stations in the library so that you may return the videos for others to use.

    1. memories

      The student asks what seems like a rhetorical question but it is one he will answer in the rest of his essay. It is also a question that forces the reader to think about a key term from the text— “choices.”

    2. consequence

      While the student does not include a personal experience in the essay, this section gives us a sense of his personal view of life.

      Also note how he introduces the term “morals” here to point out the significance of the consequences of our actions. The point is that not only do we need to act but we also need to be aware of the result of our actions.

    3. animal

      This final paragraph sums up the writer's perspective in a thoughtful and mature way. It moves away from Dillard’s argument and establishes the notion of human responsibility, an idea highly worth thinking about.

    4. future

      This question represents excellent critical thinking. The student acknowledges that theoretically “remembering nothing’ may have some merits but then ponders on the larger socio-­political problem it presents.

    5. actions

      This is a strong statement that captures the student’s appreciation of Dillard’s suggestion to live freely but also the ability to recognize why most people cannot live this way. This is a good example of critical thinking.

    6. place

      Student dismantles Dillard’s entire premise by telling us how the very act of writing the essay negates her argument. He has not only interpreted the essay but figured out how its premise is logically flawed.

    7. 210

      Up until this point the student has introduced Dillard’s essay and summarized some of its ideas. In the section that follows, he continues to think critically about Dillard’s ideas and argument.

The executives leading the organization can simply create a plan and execute it, and they can be confident that their plan will not be undermined by changes over time. But as the consultant’s experience shows, only a few executives—such as the manager of the Panama Canal—enjoy a stable and predictable situation.

    1. Over the five years to 2018, despite rising external competition from conventional grocery and natural food stores that sell similar items, the industry’s average profit margin has risen amid growing focus on marketing higher-margin premium food products, such as local milk, artisan cheeses, gluten-free baked goods and loose-leaf teas. While competition from other industries is likely to increase significantly over the next few years, efforts by industry operators to minimize labor costs and stock a greater share of higher-margin products will prevent any significant losses. IBISWorld expects profit margins to decline only slightly over the five years to 2023.

    1. The metro area has about 360,000 federal workers, representing 11.5 percent of the region’s full-time work force, according to Stephen Fuller, an economist at George Mason University who focuses on the Washington area. Of that group, about 145,000 have been furloughed, he said. This does not account for the many federal contractors whose pay is dependent on the government and who, unlike those in the Civil Service, do not expect any back pay.

    1. Going all the way back to the Hermann Ebbinghaus “forgetting curve” experiments of the 1880s, we have known -- and replicated in dozens if not hundreds of experiments -- that no matter how serious, responsible and dedicated we professors are to “covering” our “topic,” students retain and apply subsequently only what is meaningful to them. I like to call this “haunted by the 8 percent.” In experiment after experiment, if you test students with basically matched backgrounds (say, from the same educational institution and major) who took a big introductory course on a topic (say, Psychology 101) six months in the past and compare their results with those of other students who never took the course, the differential in test scores is only about 8 percent. Here’s a variation: recently, at one of the nation’s elite private prep schools, students were given, with no warning, the exact same exams one September that they had taken as final exams the previous May. The average grade on finals was about A-minus/B-plus. On the September retests: F.

    2. As professors, we have it drilled into us that testable content is the most important thing we do and that we are not responsible and respectable teachers if we don’t offer full coverage of the topic. We brag about a 25-page syllabus or about “too much reading.” Stop! Everything we know about learning shows us that, when we overassign, we inspire skimming and cheating, not learning.

    3. Because so much of active learning is front-loaded and continual, with feedback being constant and formative, the “finals” (papers, exams, turning in grades) aren’t much different than what one has been doing all term. Because summative exams and papers are anathema in active learning -- because learning is a process, with lots of opportunities to repeat and improve (a friend says all of his active learning classes are “pass/try again”) -- by the end of the term, a student has a full, rich, carefully evaluated portfolio of work. The final should be really just an affirmation or confirmation of a process mastered throughout the term.

    4. Active learning takes lots of scaffolding. You need to take a lot of time thinking deeply and carefully before you then have the right setting where students can take the lead. You must know not just the content but also how to design challenging readings, learning experiments, maker exercises, interactive experiments -- all kinds of ways that students can step in and take responsibility for the course. Will they be designing the syllabus? Some of it or all? Will they be contributing to assessment and helping to determine standards for the course? Will they be publishing their work on a public website? Each of those takes serious planning and design before the course begins.

    5. Active learning means shifting some of the leadership of the course to the students and creating a situation where they will be responsible, in a significant measure, for their own learning.

    1. The origins of America’s separate juvenile justice system go back to 1899, when the state of Illinois created the first juvenile courts in Cook County, which includes Chicago. That first system had a special juvenile court and associated clinics staffed with experts in social services. Compared to traditional adult courts, that juvenile court was informal. Focusing on rehabilitating minors, it operated under the philosophy of parens patriae, which means the state playing the role of parent. That principle gave Illinois’s court the power to intervene in the lives of any juvenile under the age of sixteen who committed delinquent or criminal acts or was thought to be in need of state help. Since then, parens patriae has been the cornerstone of the juvenile justice system in the United States.

      yes

    1. Since the turn of the twentieth century, one of the most significant developments in the American justice system has been a trend away from treating juvenile offenders in the adult justice system by developing a largely autonomous system of justice designed for the special needs of adolescents.The origins of America’s separate juvenile justice system go back to 1899, when the state of Illinois created the first juvenile courts in Cook County, which includes Chicago.
