Abstract:

Data-driven instruction and goal setting are by no means new to the field of education. This study examined how data-driven instruction combined with student goal setting affected test scores and student engagement as well as how it affected my teaching practices. Analysis of surveys, test scores, journals, interviews and observation protocols indicate that while there was no significant improvement in student engagement in science as observed by teachers and self-reported by students, test scores did increase and students enjoyed the goal setting process and felt that it helped their learning

We investigate the complexity of computations with constant-depth threshold circuits. Such circuits are composed of gates that determine if the sum of their inputs is greater than a certain threshold. When restricted to polynomial size, these circuits compute exactly the functions in the class TC$ sp0$.<br>These circuits are usually studied by measuring their efficiency in terms of their total depth. Using this point of view, the best division and iterated multiplication circuits have depth three and four, respectively.<br>In this thesis, we propose a different approach. Since threshold gates

The goal of this project is to create a small-scale, low cost, electric home brewing system that allows a user to more easily brew large (5 gallon) batches of beer in an enclosed space.

This data is then passed from a website running on the Yun shield to the Arduino sketch which runs a check against the current temperature reported by a thermometer installed in the brewing kettle a

Empirical research on political parties has shed light on many aspects of party organization and behavior. Unfortunately, there is a great deal that we do not know about small parties, especially in presidential systems. I take a two-pronged approach to studying small parties in Latin America's presidential regimes. First, I examine the factors that impact the election of small parties across Latin America's democratic regimes from 1980 to 1998, accounting for both institutional and cultural factors. Next, I move toward an examination of the representation and governance roles that small parti

A series of particulate reinforced natural rubber composites are prepared using both model (glass sphere) and commercial (carbon black and precipitated silica) reinforcing filler materials having a range of surface activities.

This means that the energy applied to the model materials during small strain deformations is entirely stored and di
