The theme for the conference The Literacy Equation, Competence = Capability? brought together a variety of workers in the field of Adult Literacy - teachers, tutors, lecturers, people involved in workplace training, research, professional development, policy, curriculum, teacher education and administration. We welcomed Linda Brodkey, Professor, Department of Literature, University of California as one of the Keynote Speakers. Delegates from every state in Australia and from New Zealand participated. This collection contains some of the papers presented. Only the papers which were sent to us before the conference have been published. In addition to these papers, there were presentations of Research, Contributions to Interest Groups and Workshops. This is not a record of the proceedings but merely a sample. The views expressed in the papers are those of the authors. We would like to thank all presenters and delegates for their contribution to the success of the conference. 14440,jk.

They are usuallyin the first year of courses where theirnumbers are yet to be affectedby attrition, and in courses or subjectsdeliberately chosen to avoid assessment items that requireextended writing. These are not studentswhose progress is doubtful through inattention to subject matter ormotivation to perform. To the contrary, many are quiteknowledgable about content and keen to dowell. They just do not complete writing assignments in ways thatbring success and confidence. There are identifiable elements to what counts asacceptable literate practice in academic writing. In what follows today, we will present our accountof what students, lecturers, and we ourselves think these elements are,and describe through the voices of thosein an ongoing program of research some of thedifficulties undergraduate studentsexperience in academic writing. Talk The first part of our research focused onthe analysis of talk gathered through semi- structured interviews of 40 students and fivelecturers conducted over one semester in 1995.

    OPTIMIZATION-BASED APPROXIMATE DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING A Dissertation Presented by MAREK PETRIK Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Massachusetts Amherst in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY September 2010 Department of Computer Science c Copyright by Marek Petrik 2010 All Rights Reserved OPTIMIZATION-BASED APPROXIMATE DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING A Dissertation Presented by MAREK PETRIK Approved as to style and content by: Shlomo Zilberstein, Chair Andrew Barto, Member Sridhar Mahadevan, Member Ana Muriel, Member Ronald Parr, Member Andrew Barto, Department Chair Department of Computer Science To my parents Fedor and Mariana ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank the people who made my stay at UMass not only productive, but also very enjoyable. I am grateful to my advisor, Shlomo Zilberstein, for guiding and supporting me throughout the completion of this work. Shlomo's thoughtful advice and probing questions greatly influenced both my thinking and research. His advice was essential not only in forming and refining many of the ideas described in this work, but also in assuring that I become a productive member of the research community. I hope that, one day, I will be able to become an advisor who is just as helpful and dedicated as he is. The members of my dissertation committee were indispensable in forming and steering the topic of this dissertation. The class I took with Andrew Barto motivated me to probe the foundations of reinforcement learning, which became one of the foundations of this thesis. Sridhar Mahadevan's exciting work on representation discovery led me to deepen my un- derstanding and appreciate better approximate dynamic programming.

  • In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence
    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

  • Philosophy of Pop Culture Instructor: Claire Pickard
    Philosophy of Pop Culture Instructor: Claire Pickard 1. Course Description This course examines the role of popular culture in our lives and its inherent connections to philosophy. By analytically engaging with topics such as social media, selfies, and reality TV, we have the opportunity to think carefully and critically about phenomena that saturate our world and are, perhaps, some of our most enjoyable escapes. This also has the potential to demonstrate the inextricability of philosophy from daily life. The course is structured to address one cultural phenomenon per week; we will start from our own experiences on the subjects and proceed from there. Since one of the major goals of this class is to foster dialogue about our own daily experiences, much of this class will consist of large-group and small-group discussions. Since there often will not be much time spent recapping the readings in lecture form, I expect everyone to come to class having read or watched the material assigned for the day. 2. Class Meetings Class will meet Monday-Thursday from 9:00 – 9:50 a.m. in 303 GER. 3. Office Hours and Contact Information My office hours are Tuesday, 10am – 11:50am in Susan Campbell Hall 232. If you are unavailable during that time, please email me at [email protected] and we can make other arrangements. 4. Course Requirements Final grades will be determined as follows: Participation/ Attendance 20 % Short Reflection Papers (3) 30% First Paper 25 % Second Paper 25 % Participation and Attendance: You are expected to participate actively in this class, which includes attending class, reading all assigned material prior to class, and participating productively and professionally in the discussion.

  • ENDER's GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third
    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.
