A Guide to English Education
Get PDFMoving to a new country is scary; being thrown into school with a loose grasp of the language being spoken in said class even more so. Kamile Gustaite, a first-generation immigrant from Lithuania, presents four defining takeaways from her educational career after having moved to England, from writing the number nine the correct way to feeling exposed as an outsider more than a decade after arriving in the country
A Case for Equity in Experiential Learning: Work-Based Learning as a Viable Alternative to Internships
No full textThis study presents a course model to demonstrate how students’ current work experiences can be utilized as a viable alternative to internships. While internships have been shown to enhance a student’s college experience, underserved and underrepresented students are often unable to pursue this high impact practice due to financial, socio-cultural, and institutional barriers. To address this inequity, the authors present an alternative course model to internship completion that can be just as effective. SEE’s principles of good practice for experiential learning and NACE career competencies were used as a guiding framework for developing this course. Student outcome data (n=20) is presented from a small four-year public Midwestern university that serves a disproportionately higher percentage of disadvantaged students in the state. Paired sample t-test shows that students achieved significant improvement in all eight career competencies with the most gains in leadership, career and self-development, and critical thinking. The results demonstrate that work-based learning can be an alternative to internships, allowing students to achieve career competencies. When structural barriers beyond a student’s control prevent them from participating in an internship, work-based learning can be a tool to mitigate equity concerns and level the playing field as it relates to access to internships

Sums of Powers of Primes in Arithmetic Progression
Get PDFGerard and Washington proved that, for k > -1, the number of primes less than xk+1 can be well approximated by summing the kth powers of all primes up to x. We extend this result to primes in arithmetic progressions: we prove that the number of primes p congruent to n modulo m less than xk+1 is asymptotic to the sum of kth powers of all primes p congruent to n modulo m up to x. We prove that the prime power sum approximation tends to be an underestimate for positive k and an overestimate for negative k, and quantify for different values of k how well the approximation works for x between 104 and 108
