Tim Miller: A Case Study
No full texti, 11 p.This report is based on information that I compiled in the form of daily
notes between 11 January (when I first decided that Tim Miller would be a good
subject for a case study) and 23 March, when I concluded my internship at Novi
High School. I gathered information by talking to Tim. his fellow students, and
band director Craig Strain, as well as from my direct observation of Tim in various
situations. Only Strain and I were aware that Tim was a study subject; I did not
seem to pay any more attention to him than I paid to many of the students.
Tim Miller was valuable to observe because his career covered almost every
aspect of the Novi instrumental music program.
Rather than present this study in the form of an edited log, I have chosen
to organize it into logical subdivisions. This format allows me to accentuate the
the connections between various daily occurrences and to draw from my observations
those conclusions that seem justified by educated common sense.
I seek to relate Tim's experiences to my philosophy of education. This
approach necessarily brings my value judgments into this report. Rather than
simply evaluating Tim Miller's progress or personal attitude, I am focusing on
judging what good his participation in the Novi band program is doing him.
The goal of any teacher should be to make the class or program valuable
and meaningful to each student. Good teachers recognize that, while many of the
goals they set will, be equally applicable to every student, each student has some
unique needs, some personal goals to achieve in the course of that program. This
report, then, is an effort to estimate the personal goals that Tim Miller carries
into the band program, and how well those goals are met.Administrator only due to personally identifying information in case study.Novi High School. Novi, Michigan
A TPQ Interview: Tim Miller on Autobiographical Storytelling
No full textTim Miller has worked as a performer and writer for over twenty years. In the early 1990s, he received international recognition as one of “the NEA Four,” four performance artists whose controversial work led the leadership of the NEA to deny grant funds after approval by a peer review panel. Since that time, Miller has created an impressive body of work as a performer of autobiographical narratives speaking directly about gay issues. He has become one of the most in.uential and signi.cant voices in queer performance today. During the premier of his latest work, Us, Miller agreed to an interview with TPQ. In the interview, Miller discusses both his latest work and his general process of working as a solo performing artist
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
