    5 Totally Ineffective Strategies for Teaching and Presenting (and How to Avoid Them): Using Evidenced-Based Learning Principles

    No full text
    While educators are often fascinated with principles from learning science, Agarwal and Bain (2019) note that many ideas get filed away and are rarely implemented in the classroom. In addition, conference presentations often rely on traditional didactic methods rather than using sound principles from learning science (Corwin et al., 2019). This session explores the implications of learning science for our approach to “presentations” at educational conferences as well as in the classroom (by instructors and students

    Effects of Acute and Multi-Day Beetroot Juice Supplementation on Power and Velocity During Resistance Exercise in NCAA Division I Baseball Position Players

    No full text
    Dietary nitrate supplementation can enhance muscle contractility in type II fibers; however, the efficacy of nitrate in exercises and populations that predominantly rely on type II fibers, such as resistance exercise in power-based athletes, remains unexplored. The purpose of this project was to determine whether acute and multi-day nitrate ingestion via concentrated nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BR) improves resistance exercise performance in NCAA Division I baseball athletes. Eighteen male collegiate baseball athletes were assigned in a randomized, double-blind, crossover design to consume: 1) nitrate-depleted beetroot juice placebo (PL) or 2) BR (~6 mmol of nitrate) for 8 consecutive days. On days 1 and 8, subjects consumed supplements 2.5 hours prior to performing back squat and bench press performed at 55%, 60%, and 65% of their one-repetition maximum. A linear transducer was used to measure peak and mean power and velocity. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance will be used to analyze for differences in performance across condition and time. A subset of data (n=9) for peak and mean power and velocity for back squat and bench press is presented. These data will contribute to informing nitrate supplementation guidelines for enhancing resistance exercise, and for the first time, will provide insight on the efficacy of dietary nitrate as an ergogenic aid for resistance exercise in a sport-specific population

    Performing Arts Session

    The music department is proud to present the research of its students through performance. These students spend considerable time developing their technique and mastering the art of expression, and each performance is informed by significant research on the composer and the composition. These performances will feature the following instruments and genres: arias, art songs, musical theater, instrumental solo pieces, and instrumental chamber music. The performances will appear in no particular order. Please stop by and enjoy this offering of music at the Weisman Museum. Jess Chen, violin Rachel Harrington, viola Josh Kim, cello Jason Press, double bass Dr. Tan (professor), piano Alima Ovali, violin Abigail Grant, flute Ceci McCormick, piano Amanda Tatum, soprano Noah Doss, tenor Jace Vendelin, baritone-tenor Claire Atchison, soprano Cokie Daniel, soprano Hannah Root, soprano Miara Williams, soprano Nicholas Gerding, bass John Silva, tenor Gannon Hays, baritone Claire Jansen, soprano Payton Ballinger, soprano Emma Hirte, mezzo-soprano Isaac Hui, clarinet, bass clarinet Johnathan Hodges, keyboard Ginny Stenstrom, piano/keyboard Zachary Gamble, guitar Jonah Chang, oboe Bridget Ayers, violin Brett Cochran, EWI Tory Wile, viola Abby Tsao, percussi

    The Importance of Intersectionality in book: Cultivating Equitable and Inclusive Conversations in Higher Education

    No full text
    This chapter will explore the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice (DEIBJ) work in health service psychology. Intersectionality theory will start the conversation as it pertains to social identities in and outside the classroom. Additionally, when constructing curricula and syllabi for classrooms, there are a number of factors that this chapter will highlight as vital considerations for implementation. Furthermore, the chapter will highlight some pedagogical approaches that are crucial in developing students’ autonomy and agency in their educational journeys. Moreover, there will be applicational approaches of how to apply intersectionality theory into the Social Matrix Diagram. We then discuss a framework for infusing DEIBJ work into higher education spaces. At the end of chapter, we have case examples of various students who you may come across while teaching. We also provide discussion questions to assist in thinking about the discourse of this chapter. Lastly, we leave the reader with our recommendations on how to continue their education of DEIBJ issues in higher education

    Say It Once, Say It Twice: Abrogating the Rebuttal Requirement of the Prior Consistent Statement Hearsay Rule

    Get PDF
    Federal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(1)(B) limits the introduction of a witness’s prior statements during court proceedings, even if those statements are consistent with the witness’s in-court testimony. A witness’s previous declarations can only be solicited if (a) the adversarial party directly attacks the witness’s credibility and (b) the offered prior consistent statement directly rebuts the basis of the attack. This Comment refers to these restrictions as the “rebuttal requirement” of Rule 801(d)(1)(B) and argues for its revocation to make statements substantially consistent with a witness’s in-court testimony admissible, subject to the other rules of evidence, regardless of whether the witness’s credibility has been directly attacked. The rationale behind the amendment has to do with the adversarial nature of the American justice system. Witnesses are subpoenaed by one of the parties to provide testimony which supports that party’s theory of the case. That witness is then subject to cross-examination by the opposing party. The very purpose of cross examination is to attack the witness’ credibility. So, whether the witness is impeached or not, every witness’s credibility is necessarily at issue. The jury must decide whether to believe their testimony. Accordingly, that witness’s prior consistent statements and the attendant circumstances of that disclosure may not only be relevant but also necessary for the jury’s due consideration of that witness’s testimony. This Comment argues that Rule 801(d)(1)(B) as currently codified unfairly underestimates the jury’s ability to weigh the reliability of a witness’s prior statements and to use such information only where relevant and helpful. The current rendition of the Rule is needlessly complex, results in unpredictable application by judges, improperly delegates decision-making power to the judge over the jury, and favors exclusion contrary to the intended spirit of the Federal Rules of Evidence. This Comment argues that repealing the rebuttal requirement would simplify Rule 801(d)(1)(B) and re-empower the jury to serve its factfinding function to bring justice in every case
