Healthcare Studies Dept., Alcohol and Substance Abuse Studies Major (April 20, 2020)--Proposal for Change of Grade Requirement for College Level Statistics Course Requirement. Proposed Change is from Current Requirement of C or Better Grade to Requirement of Passing Grade for the Course. Suggested Statistics Courses Include: PSH 202 Intro Statistics, MTH 243 Elem Statistics, PBH 488 Bios & Epid, or Other Equivalent Course
No full textRecently, we have found that more of our majors who demonstrate good to excellent academic and clinical skills have considerable struggles with their statistics course. In particular, students have difficulty achieving the required C grade, and for some students, they must retake the course, sometimes more than once. Successful completion of the statistics course is required before the student can complete their final semester of full-time professional internship.
The Alcohol & Substance Abuse Studies faculty have determined that our majors need a very basic knowledge of statistics to be successful in their field of study. We believe that students can achieve this by passing the course, rather than having to achieve a C . In addition, we determined that their required inidividual courses in the major also provide foundational contnet knowledge that gives our students sufficient introduction to and understanding of the basic statistical knowledge and applications needed to be successful working in this field at an entry level
Alternatives to EDI 601 in EHD Graduate Programs
No full textEHD currently uses one diversity course (EDI 601) for all of our graduate programs. As our programs grow, we are finding that some students get closed out of these sections and have limited other options. This proposal seeks to expand that requirement to include courses from other departments that meet the same objectives. This will provide students with additional choice and a potentially shortened time to degree
Dr. John N. Ingham Interview
Get PDFDr. John N. Ingham earned his Phd at the University of Pittsburgh. He then taught for a short period at the University of Bridgeport, before teaching at SUNY Brockport from 1970 to 1977. Dr. Ingham then went on to the University of Toronto, where he worked until his reitirement. At SUNY Brockport he and Dr. Owen Ireland began and ran the annual New Social and Political History Conference, which was the first conference of its kind, highlighting the then young and developing field of social history. He and Dr. Ireland also ran the university\u27s first team taught courses, one of which was a Modern America survey course. Dr. Ingham was instrumental in the development of SUNY Brockport\u27s Masters Program, and was the program\u27s first coordinator
Implementing a Flipped Classroom in a Unit on Slope
Get PDFAs instructional technology increases, educators seek ways to incorporate it into their curriculum. One effective method teachers use is the flipped classroom. It can be challenging to incorporate a flipped classroom; thus, this curriculum project was designed to support its implementation. The curriculum project presents an exemplar on using remote instruction with the Algebra topic of slope. During the Spring 2020 global pandemic that resulted in the shutdown of public schools, many teachers looked to the flipped classroom for best practices in remote instruction. This project was designed to highlight instructional technology to support remote instruction as well as presenting the best practices for the flipped classroom
The effect of parental pressure on the stress, self-efficacy and overall well-being of athletes
Get PDFResearch indicates that a child’s interpretation of their parent’s actions and words related to their sport experience has a direct influence on their child’s ability to cope with the stressors of sport.
The purpose of this synthesis was to review the literature on the effect of parental pressure on the stress, self-efficacy and overall well-being of athletes. Results indicate that parental pressure to be the best has a negative effect, while pressuring a child to be their best has more of a positive effect. While a parent may believe that are saying and doing all the right things, ultimately, the research proves that the way the athlete perceives these behaviors has the biggest effect on their athletic career
Collegiate Level Student-Athletes Identity and Academic Success
Get PDFThe purpose of this synthesis is to review the literature on collegiate level student-athletes identity and academic success. The articles that were reviewed helped to answer two questions which were, what kind of identity do student-athletes typically associate with and what are the factors that drive them to that identity, and do student-athlete’s have better GPA’s and academic success during their seasons or in their off-seasons. Deliminating factors were used to limit research which yielded 10 articles. It was discovered that most student-athletes typically will adapt a student identity over time instead of an athletic identity because of the slim chances of going pro. It was also revealed that student-athletes have better success in their off-seasons than during their season
Nitrous Oxide as Pain Relief for Women in Labor
No full textLabor and childbirth can be a very frightening and anxious time in a woman’s life. Pain is considered a normal, natural and expected part of childbirth and for that reason, it is vitally important to provide women access to different approaches to pain management. Healthcare professionals must be aware of all the options available to women for pain management because it is crucial that women feel they have a choice in what they use for their body. While every woman will experience pain differently, they should be able to have a choice of which measures they use to cope with the pain and demands of labor and they should understand the basic physiology behind why they are experiencing pain. “Pain is defined as ‘an unpleasant sensation caused by noxious stimulation of the sensory nerve endings’ or ‘as a state in which an individual experiences and reports the presence of severe discomfort or an uncomfortable sensation” (Lennon, 2018, p.637)
Designing the Artists’ Book: How Graphic Design Impacts the Photographic Portfolio
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to explore how graphic design and the artists’ book format can enhance and add meaning to a photographic portfolio. Today, we face a disconnect between an audience and digital portfolios. Artists’ books provide a way for artists to choose their materials, layout, and design in order to showcase their work. It is the audience interaction with the book that bridges the disconnect and allows for a personal connection between the viewer and the art. Throughout this project, I explore how the layout of the artists’ book and the pairing of image and text impacts the message being communicated. The first portion consists of research of materials, formats, bookbinding, and printing. I determine which format will work the best for my photographic portfolio, and what materials will be available for the creation of the book. The second portion focuses on designing the format of the book using established graphic design methodologies and includes explanations of why certain decisions were made. Overall, it is established why the artists’ book format works and how it enhances the viewing experience of a photographic portfolio
