Creative learning approaches for undergraduate self-development
No full textThis thesis investigates creativity in the undergraduate curriculum and how students respond to creative approaches to learning within their studies. Specifically, the thesis considers how the use of multiple creative learning methods may enhance undergraduate learning and the role that creative visualisation and guided imagery can play in this experience.The thesis presents the learning stories of six undergraduates in the main study who took one of these modules. Interviews were conducted and a range of other documentary data, such as learning journals and assignments, was collected and analysed in order to detail each student’s journey through and experience of the module. The analysis is presented in three separate sections; firstly, as individual student case studies; secondly, as a thematic cross-case analysis; and thirdly, as a synthesis of the data with theoretical constructs and current debates surrounding creativity in higher education with conclusions and recommendations for individual and sector practice.The thesis discusses the ‘messy’ nature of research, highlights the compromises and difficulties inherent in a PhD project and illustrates how these issues were overcome. The work also reflects on the researcher’s own PhD learning journey and identifies a number of themes that influence the efficacy of the teaching of creative skills in undergraduate programmes. The thesis proposes a number of new models that have been integrated into the author’s own teaching and that have wider implications for the teaching of transferable skills in creativity and creative thinking in higher education for practice-based and non-vocational programmes as well as consultancy opportunities for industry. New knowledge proposed within the thesis includes a refined model of student engagement and a model to plot the student journey of self-discovery. The thesis also offers a critique of and guidelines for the use of guided imagery to promote student creativity in higher education

Dear Miss Burnside:
This acknowledaes your letter of February 7 reg-
garding the Equal Rightll Amendment. I will
confer with Senator Butler riaht away about it.
I have been a co- sponsor of this measure in the
past and may coneent to do ao again. While I am
of the impression that many do not understand
the full impact of this proposed Constitutional
Amendment, still I have taken the position that
if our women want it, then I shall support it.
With kindest regards , I am

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

This photo appears in the April 14, 1956 issue of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal newspaper with the caption "Attend Infirmary Dedication - Relatives of the late Len McClellan, whose widow, Mrs. Harriet McClellan, donated her home at 19th St. and College Avenue to Texas Tech, the proceeds from its sale to go toward construction of a college infirmary, attended formal dedication of that building at the college Saturday. They are, pictured above, left to right, Ray McClellan, Waco; Mr. and Mrs. R. A. McClellan, Houston; Miss Minnie Feierabend, Amarillo; and Milo Feierabend, Abilene. The McClellans are nephews and Miss Feierabend and her brother cousins of the late Lubbock County rancher who was killed in an automobile accident in 1950. Dr. E. N. Jones, Tech president; Nolan Barrick, college architect; Dr. Embree R. Rose, college physician; Wallace Wilson, student association president; and W. D. Watkins, chairman of the board of directors, spoke at dedication ceremonies in the infirmary Saturday afternoon. Dean James G. Allen was master of ceremonies and two selections were given by the Texas Tech Madrigal Singers. (Tech Photo)"

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
