If you are looking for the entry boasted in the dictionary, which guide words could you find at the top of the page?

1 answer:

8 0

Well it depends on how large the pages are, and how large the printing is. Guide words are the words at the top of the left and right pages that indicate what the first and last word is. For example on the first page (the left) it would have the very first word on that page up top. Then on the second it would have the very last word. So like I said, it depends on how large the print and pages are.

Answer:

Ask any faculty member about how they grade their students, and they will probably explain the precise weights they give quizzes, tests, papers, labs and other factors -- as well as how they average student results over the term to determine a final grade.

Even though the scholarship, technology and pedagogy of postsecondary courses have significantly evolved in the last century, the ways students are graded has remained unchanged. This should come as no surprise, considering that most college and university faculty members receive no training in how to grade, either in graduate school or professional development on the job, and so most typically grade as they were graded. Plus, because faculty members rarely receive support to examine and learn about grading, each professor’s grading policies are filtered through their own individual beliefs about how students learn, how to motivate them and how best to describe student achievement.

As a result, grades often vary within a department and even within a course taught by different instructors. That is particularly true at community colleges, which depend heavily on part-time faculty who are rarely involved in any deep way with the department in which they teach, but it is also often the case in research institutions, where grading is often the responsibility of teaching assistants, who rarely discuss grading practice with faculty members or department chairs.

While faculty members believe that their grading practices are fair and objective, a closer look reveals that they are anything but. And while employers and other institutions rely on those grades as a reliable marker of student achievement, it might shock them to know how much grading practices reflect the idiosyncratic preferences of individual faculty members.

Explanation:

Two examples:

Frequently, faculty members incorporate into a student’s grade many highly subjective criteria -- such as a student’s “effort,” “participation” and “engagement” -- behaviors which the professor subjectively witnesses, interprets and judges through a culturally specific and biased lens.

Many faculty members grade on a curve, which makes grades dependent on the particular students in that particular classroom in that particular term. It unhelpfully describes student achievement not based on what the student learned but rather on how well they did relative to others in the class. Plus, this method translates learning into a competition, which adds stress that undermines collaboration and has been found to inhibit learning.

Illusion [34]

Read the excerpt from part 1 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge."

He unclosed his eyes and saw again the water below him. “If I could free my hands,” he thought, “I might throw off the noose and spring into the stream. By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home. My home, thank God, is as yet outside their lines; my wife and little ones are still beyond the invader’s farthest advance.”

As these thoughts, which have here to be set down in words, were flashed into the doomed man’s brain rather than evolved from it the captain nodded to the sergeant. The sergeant stepped aside.

Based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction?

A.) The prisoner will escape.

B.) The prisoner will beg for mercy.

C.) The execution will commence.

D.) The sergeant will stop the hanging.

Answer:

From the excerpt, the most reasonable plot prediction would be that C.) The execution will commence.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, there are some pieces of evidence which support the idea that the execution will commence.

First, the man is tied up and is thinking of escape from the place by believing that if he could free his hands and dive in to the water, he could "evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home".

Secondly, the second paragraph calls him a "doomed man" and then the captain nodded to the sergeant who stepped aside apparently in signal for the preparation of the execution to begin.
