  • Creating a Board Game to Influence Student Retention and Success
    ENROLLED: CREATING A BOARD GAME TO INFLUENCE STUDENT RETENTION AND SUCCESS by Andrew H. Peterson This dissertation is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Ferris State University November 2018 © 2019 Andrew H. Peterson All Rights Reserved ENROLLED: CREATING A BOARD GAME TO INFLUENCE STUDENT RETENTION AND SUCCESS by Andrew H. Peterson Has been approved November 2018 APPROVED: Jonathan Truitt, PhD Committee Chair David Simkins, PhD Committee Member Paul Wright, PhD Committee Member Dissertation Committee ACCEPTED: Roberta C. Teahen, PhD, Director Community College Leadership Program ABSTRACT This dissertation documents the justification, creation, and refinement of a traditional board game to be used in first-year experience (freshman seminar) courses. The board game enRolled allows students to play college in a guided classroom environment. The game creates a low-stakes environment for students to be able to fail at college without risking time and money. Further, it is designed to give students a relatable topic to debate. By having a common experience, students can distance themselves from what their expectations of college are and deliberate on the tangible game they have played. The discussions that stem from this play and the modification of the game elements are designed to help the students take ownership over the experience. Having a game experience to discuss allows a student to objectively analyze their player’s path through the academic setting and debate realistic and perceived unrealistic challenges. Through these discussions, it is possible for students to engage with content while having little to no firsthand knowledge. It is the hope of this author that the creation of enRolled leads to a more engaging curriculum in first-year experience courses.

  • Master's Degree
    Master’s Degree in Languages, Economics and Institutions of Asia and North Africa Final Thesis Football condition in China: the case of naturalized players Supervisor Ch. Prof. Renzo Riccardo Cavalieri Graduand Emanuele Salvati Matriculation number 868763 Academic Year 2019 / 2020 Abstract The focus of this thesis is the recent naturalization of foreign players in China, that led to the debut of the first football player without Chinese ancestry in the Chinese national team. The first chapter is an introduction to the naturalization in football in all its aspects. I will first clarify concepts such as nation, nationality, and citizenship. Then I will analyze the evolution of the regulations on eligibility, starting from the case of Italy in the thirties to arrive to the modern FIFA eligibility rules. In the second chapter, I will focus on the Chinese football condition. Starting with an overview of football history in the country, from the very first form of the game passing through the professionalization in the nineties to arrive at the recent years in which the Chinese Super League (CSL) developed very rapidly. The focus of the chapter is the relationship between Chinese authorities, football clubs and players and the reforms Chinese government is doing to reduce the gap with European football, trying to improve both CSL clubs and national team level. These reforms aim to turn China into a world elite competitor by 2050 mainly through promotion of football at the grassroots level and league development. The third chapter reviews the process of naturalization of foreign players that is now a widespread argument in the Chinese football circle, investigating reasons, advantages and drawbacks.

    Sample Scenario Title: TI JIÀNZI - CHINESE SHUTTLECOCK Proficiency Level: Novice Range Grade Level: Elementary Grades 1-4 Main Theme: Contemporary Life- leisure activity Scenario Description TI JIÀNZI - CHINESE SHUTTLECOCK Part I Third-grade students in Livingston, New Jersey, use three pieces of colored tissue paper, a quarter or two metal washers, scissors, and a piece of string to make a Jiànzi (Chinese shuttlecock). Mrs. Lee leads a brief discussion with students reviewing colors and the name of materials used in this activity. They use the math concept of fractions to fold papers. Students follow the procedures step by step and repeat simple instructions after the teacher. Students count the numbers when their teacher shows them how to play. Students learn to recite a children’s rhyme that gives commands on using different parts of the body to play Jiànzi. (jiăo băn xīn, shuo băn xīn, dào guăizi, luódi xīn, zuo shou dă lái yi tiáo xīn. (腳板心,手板心,倒拐子,落地心,左手打來一條心.) In pairs, students give and respond to the commands, such as yòng zuo Jiăo tī sān xià (use the left foot to kick three times). Students compete in small groups and choose a winner from each group to perform at the school talent show.

  • About Xiaoqi Chen 陈陈陈小陈小小小奇奇奇奇 (Updated: 11/2011)
    About XiaoQi Chen 陈陈陈小陈小小小奇奇奇奇 (updated: 11/2011) XiaoQi [Shau-Chee] was born in a farmer’s family in the inner province Anhui, eastern China on 10 November 1963. In his teens when there was not much school work to do, he was quite a skillful farmer in the rice field. He was fascinated by stories of how remote-controlled agricultural machineries could operate in the field autonomously. Among six siblings, he is the only one who has left the fertile farming land. XiaoQi entered South China Univ. of Technology in 1980, graduating with B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering in 1984. He was surprised that he was one of the ten recipients of China-UK Technical Co- Operation Award upon his graduation. This award allowed him to complete his M.Sc. study (1985 – 1986) in the Dept. of Materials Technology, Brunel Univ. which is located in northwest London and named after the well-known and respected English engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel (9 Apr 1806 – 15 Sept 1859); and Ph.D. study (1986 – 1989) in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Electronics, Univ. of Liverpool. Naturally he has become a fan of the great Liverpool Football Club ever since. After the fun period, he carried out post-doctoral research as Senior Research Assistant and Research Fellow at the University of Durham (1989 – 1990) and Brunel University (1990 – 1992) respectively. He worked on a project jointly funded by the Science and Engineering Research Council of UK and Dowty Aerospace Propellers Ltd, investigating the use of robotic technology to automate the manufacturing of aerospace propellers made of advanced dry carbon fibre materials.
