Models and Methods for Confirmation Catechesis in Catholic Youth Ministry
Get PDFThis article will briefly address the origins of confirmation and the current approaches to adolescent confirmation. Moreover, the article discusses the two predominant models of confirmation in the Catholic Church in the United States and the predominant methods for adolescent confirmation in Catholic parishes and in youth ministry settings. Finally, the article delineates three proposed methods for confirmation catechesis in Catholic youth ministry. The hope is that these three methods will help Catholic youth ministers and/or confirmation coordinators in their important work of providing confirmation catechesis with teenagers
Analogy of Disjunction: John Duns Scotus vs. Hervaeus Natalis on the Univocity or Analogy of Being
No full textAt the beginning of his influential De Nominum Analogia, Thomas de Vio Cajetan (1469–1534) mentions three mistaken positions on analogy. He does not attach names to these positions, but each one was held by distinguished Thomists of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Furthermore, their proponents were responding to the same set of challenges from John Duns Scotus that set the agenda for the De Nominum Analogia. In this paper, I would like to do something that Cajetan did not do, and that is, directly consider the merits of the first position in his list of mistaken accounts of analogy; namely, the position that analogy is constituted by (in)disjunction. More specifically, this paper investigates the polemical use for which Hervaeus Natalis (1260–1323) deployed analogy of disjunction; the reply of John Duns Scotus; and the implications of this back and forth for understanding the Thomist-Scotist dispute over the concept of being
Online Tools for Active In-Class Learning
Get PDFAccording to researchers, Thiele et al. (2014), technology can enhance learning by making the classroom more active and student-centered. In EDU 307 and EDU 419, I have used a variety of online tools to support active student engagement during classroom discussions and activities. During this poster session, I will explain how to integrate tools such as Popplet, Padlet, Plickers and more to engage students in classroom discussions, collaborative work, and assignments. I will also share samples of student work
Proof Portfolio for Developing Expertise in Mathematical Communication and Proof-Writing
No full textMAT250 transitions students to advanced mathematics. Objectives include learning to justify mathematical statements using standard methods of proof and communicate mathematical reasoning through clear writing. The semester-long Proof Portfolio is the principal formative and summative assessment of these objectives. Students progressively build a portfolio of independently constructed proofs written using LaTeX, the professional typesetting software of choice for mathematicians. Each week students are given options for conjectures to settle and prove. Students submit first and second drafts and receive extensive feedback through Canvas, with carrots and sticks for weekly progress. The final portfolio is then submitted in hard copy.

Get PDFThe St. John’s Bible: Holding a Mirror Up to Life
Get PDFDonald Jackson, calligrapher to the Queen of England, envisioned of The St. John’s Bible in 1995; he found a patron in the monks at St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minnesota. While this manuscript is a product of the twenty-first century, the twelfth-century Winchester Bible served as a model. In The St. John’s Bible: Holding a Mirror Up to Life, I examine how The St. John’s Bible collapses time—the past into the present—opening the viewer to the multilayered complexity of Medieval manuscript production in our modern world. I argue that The St. John’s Bible, the first fully illuminated and hand-written Bible produced since the Middle Ages, creates art that mirrors life. By way of fossils, satellite images, modern disaster and disease, the images of The St. John’s Bible re-frame social, political, and theological issues as significant expressions of mimetic art while exploring the power handwritten script and artfully-produced images still have over the viewer. With its illuminations that mirror life, The St. John’s Bible asks viewers to consider what we are doing to Creation and where that will lead. Will we be able to look ourselves in the mirror
Genogram Analysis
No full textThe key to leadership is controlling yourself rather than influencing other people. Ethical leaders are self-differentiated: they can make deliberate choices as opposed to reacting. They define themselves while staying in touch with an emotional system. For this assignment, students create a genogram (family map) that includes sources of anxiety such as addiction, divorce, mental illness, and incarceration. The map labels dynamics such as relationship patterns and roles, over/under-functioning, fusion and cut-off, triangles and coalitions and their family’s unwritten rules for processing emotional stress. Unpacking their “baggage,” students develop a vocabulary for self-understanding that empowers transformational leadership
Bringing Examples to Life: Case Study Writing Assignment in Biochemistry
Get PDFCase study teaching is a powerful to introduce students not only to teach concepts and content, but also critical thinking and problem solving skills. Cases bring content to life using examples and approaches that can interest students. Biochemistry students wrote short cases in groups to share with their classmates about protein structure function relationships utilizing a variety of models (diagrams and tactile models). This presentation with share the assignment details, student examples, lesson learned, and suggested ways that others could utilize this assignment
