You can know the position of a particle but then you will then be unable to know the velocity, you can know the velocity of a particle but then you will be unable to know the position. As I work on term end learning assessment reports and I stalled out fairly quickly. This term the college wanted all student learning outcomes attainment reported separately for each gender. I realized that I really had no way to sort my students by gender differentials while retaining outcomes information. In statistics, an item analysis of the final examination provides a good measure of whether students can make basic statistical calculations up through confidence intervals. I mapped the final examination questions to learning outcomes in Schoology . I could also access an item analysis for all students of the final examination. Between the mapping and the performance I could report the number who succeeded against a particular outcome. The above, however, does not separate by ...

MS 150 Statistics is an introductory statistics course with a focus on statistical operations and methods. The course is guided by the 2007 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) , the spring 2016 draft GAISE update, and the ongoing effort at the college to incorporate authentic assessment in courses. In the fall of 2012 the statistics curriculum was adjusted to include a couple of weeks of open data exploration exercises at the end of the term. These exercises were submitted as assignments and marked by the instructor. Spring 2015 the last open data exploration in a set of three was assigned as a presentation to the class. This changed the stakes from an assignment seen only by the instructor to a presentation seen by all of the students in the class. That shift would ramp up the level of effort students put into their open data exploration exercises. The arrival of improved presentation technology fall 2015 in the form of a brighter flat pane...

This past week I to see a film that was placed in the Pacific to see the plants. Of course the film had Cocos nucifera, and some well done Artocarpus altilis. I was interested in the details. I saw a fern on the side of the mountain on Motonui and realized someone had done some fern work. Without a Blu-ray disk and screen capture software I cannot grab the screens I would want to grab. There is no doubt, however, that the attention to detail at the programming level bordered on the obsessive. The enlargement is of the ground cover above the beach berm to the left of Moana in the above poster shot. While the ferns are probably generic, they bear a resemblance to Cyclosorus maemonensis. Not that C. maemonensis would grow in that location, but that such a small detail was intentionally modeled suggests the level attention paid to scene detailing in Moana. Mitch with Clerodendrum inerme, ilau here on Pohnpei Cyclosorus maemonensis is often used to scrub dishes and can be used a...
