Liar, Liar, Tweets on Fire! Online Deception Across Four Venues
No full textMost adults report self-dishonesty across different online venues (e.g., social media, online dating, anonymous chat rooms, and sex sites), they believe others are less honest than they are within each of these online venues, and they expect different types of lies (e.g., lies about age or appearance) across different venues
Determining the Universal Gravitational Constant
No full textThe force of attraction between any two objects in the universe is related to the mass of each object and the distance between the objects multiplied by a proportionality factor, G. We measure the universal gravitational constant using a torsion balance with two pairs of metal masses, one small and one large. Attaching a mirror to the pendulum bob and using a laser projected from the mirror allows us to measure the angular twist of the torsion ribbon in response to the attraction between the large and small masses on either side of the pendulum. We used three different methods of using the pendulum to calculate this constant. Each of the three methods yielded values of G: GI = 6.41 ± 0.05 x 10-11, GII = 6.36 ± 0.04 x 10-11, and GIII = 7.8 ± 0.1 x 10-11

No full textListening and Learning from Students: Interviewing Students about the Intersections of Research, Writing and Technology
No full textAs professional educators, the experience of a novice writer and researcher is often lost, and librarians and teaching faculty alike struggle to bridge the gap between inexperience and expertise. In this interactive session, participants will have the opportunity to practice skills for interviewing students as a strategy to gain a depth of perspective not readily available through other methods. In particular, we will explore how digital technologies impact students’ academic research and writing, and the ways in which technologies might either enhance student work, create barriers to, or even transform the research and writing process. Attendees will be invited to reflect on their own experience with technology and then to participate in role-playing as interviewers and student interviewees. Finally, the presenters will share preliminary findings from interviews with students and will facilitate audience discussion about the role of technology in the writing and research process. The session is based upon a collaboration between two librarians and an English composition instructor who is also the coordinator of the university writing center
