Loyola University Chicago (25) Honorable Mention: San Francisco State University, College of the Holy Cross, Berea College Methodology (in brief) The Top Program Scores recognize schools based on their performance in both the AMCA National Tournament Oral Advocacy competition and the AMCA National Tournament Written Brief competition. The scores are weighted at 67 percent for the oral advocacy competition and 33 percent for the written brief competition. For example, let's say Olympus State University earned a program score of 0.0183 in the oral advocacy competition and a program score of 0.0166 in the written brief competition. Olympus State University's overall score would be 1.77 (67*0.183+33*0.0166). This calculation is completed for each program that has teams in the national tournament and in the written brief competition and then programs are ranked from the highest score to the lowest score. NR = Not ranked in the previous season. SOURCE: https://amcamootcourt.org/topprograms AMERICAN MOOT COURT ASSOCIATION Top Programs – Oral Advocacy 2021 1. Patrick Henry College 2.

Georgetown University Honorable Mention: Fitchburg State University, Eastern Michigan University, Baylor University Methodology (in brief) Programs are ranked by the number of ballots earned at the AMCA National Tournament in January 2021. To assess both the program's overall performance and the program's performance relative to the field as a whole, we combine the program's percent of total ballots times the program's percent of possible ballots. For example, let's say Olympus State University qualified 3 teams to the 80 team national tournament. Team 1 earned 6 ballots in the preliminary rounds, 2 ballots in the round of 32, and 0.67 ballots in the round of 16. This results in 8.67 ballots for Team 1. Team 2 earned 5 ballots in the preliminary rounds and 0.67 ballots in the round of 32. This results in 5.67 ballots for Team 2. Team 3 earned 2 ballots in the preliminary rounds. This results in 2 ballots for Team 3. The total number of ballots that Olympus State earned is 16.34 out of 48 possible ballots (0.34 of their possible points). Possible ballots is 16 per team per school entered in the tournament (6 for preliminary rounds, 2 for round of 32, 2 for round of 16, 2 for quarters, 2 for semis, 2 for finals). In the event of a same school match-up, 2 ballots are deducted from the possible ballot total. As noted above, there are 80 teams in the national tournament- this results in 302 possible ballots available (80+80+80+32+16+8+4+2). Olympus State University earned 16.34 out of 302 possible ballots (0.054 of the tournament's possible ballots). We then multiply those two figures together to arrive at OSU's overall score (0.0183). This calculation is completed for each program that has teams in the national tournament and then programs are ranked from the highest score to the lowest score.

Saginaw Valley State University Honorable Mention: Michigan State University, Howard Payne University, University of Tampa Methodology (in brief) Programs are ranked by the scores earned in the 2020-2021 brief writing competition. To assess both the program's overall performance and the program's performance relative to the field as a whole, we combine the program's percent of total brief points times the program's percent of possible brief points. Disqualified briefs are not included in the determination of the program's possible points nor in the total possible brief points. For 2020-2021, there were 95 briefs scored. For example, let's say Olympus State University submitted 3 briefs to the national brief writing competition and there were 100 total submissions. The average score for OSU's brief 1 was 88, the average score for OSU's brief 2 was 73, and the average score for OSU's brief 3 was 62. OSU earned 223 points out of 300 possible points. This lets us calculate the program's percent of total brief points (0.743). Then we calculate OSU's percent of possible brief points for the competition. As noted above, there were 100 briefs submitted so there were 10,000 possible brief points and OSU earned 223 points (0.0223). We then multiply those two figures together to arrive at OSU's overall score (0.0166). This calculation is completed for each program that participates in the brief writing competition and then programs are ranked from the highest score to the lowest score. .

  • About the ETS® Proficiency Profile Custom Comparative Data Report
    5/24/2018 About the ETS® Proficiency Profile Custom Comparative Data Report The Custom Comparative Data Report can assist you in interpreting the scores from the ETS® Proficiency Profile by helping you determine how your students' skills compare with the skills of students at similar institutions. The report generates descriptive statistics based on a reference group of 10 or more other institutions of interest which you select. Information about an institution gathered through ETS Proficiency Profile administrations cannot be released in any form attributable to or identifiable with an individual institution. The anonymity of each institution's performance is maintained by reporting only the aggregate performance of the selected reference group. Below are descriptions of the various tables you can generate using this service: Distribution of Individual Students' Total Scores/Subscores - The distributions in these tables may be used to interpret individual student results by determining what percent of those taking the test at the selected institutions attained scores below that of a particular student. Each table shows scaled score intervals for Total Score and Subscores separately. By looking up the Total Score or Subscore and reading across the row to the corresponding number in the column headed "Percent Below," the percent of individuals scoring below any interval can be determined. Distribution of Institutional Mean Total Scores/Subscores - The distributions in these tables present the number of institutions at each mean score level. These tables provide a way to compare the Total Score and Subscore means for your institution with those of other participating institutions you selected. These tables show the mean of means (or the average of the mean scores for those institutions selected) as well as the standard deviations of those means.

  • Easter Means Christ Is RISEN!
    1 First Quarter 2007 PO Box 12555, Prescott AZ 86304, 1 888 ISSUES–9 web site <www.issuesineducation.org> Bob & Geri Boyd “In My Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you.” Jesus in John 14:2 Easter means Christ is RISEN !!! But what does that mean to a generation that doesn’t believe it? What does “Jesus Saves ” mean to a generation that has no idea Who He is or what He saves them from? A generation that is lost doesn’t know they need a SAVIOR. People are urged to be saved before they know they are lost. Is HELL a real place ? What happens to people who die but don’t go to heaven ? Do they just cease to exist? Or do they go to a literal place called HELL? Why would a loving God create such a place as HELL? If hell did not exist, why did Jesus talk about a place of “ eternal punishment ” so much? For those who say, “Oh I don’t believe in hell,” not believing in hell doesn’t make it go away. For those who say, “I’ll be with my drinking buddies and we’ll have a great time in hell ,” they don’t have any idea what they’re talking about. LISTEN! In hell, all your worst fears and nightmares come true. This is a place of intense heat, constant torture, fear, regret, pain, desperate screaming, loneliness- you will never see any of your loved ones or anyone else you knew on earth.

  • American Evangelicalism
    For the personal use of teachers. Not for sale or redistribution © Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture, 2014 AMERICAN EVANGELICALISM Professor Omri Elisha Department of Anthropology Queens College, CUNY Institutional and Curricular context: Queens College is part of the City University of New York (CUNY), a public university system with a mission to provide a quality college education, at relatively low cost, for students form across the socioeconomic spectrum. Located in “the most ethnically diverse county in America,” the college itself is extremely diverse, serving a population of roughly 18,000 students (approx. 14,000 undergrad) from all over the New York metro area. A significant number of our students are children of first- and second-generation immigrants, and many of them represent the first generation in their families to get a college education. It is a Queens College tradition that some of the city’s best and brightest who lack the resources to attend high-end colleges discover opportunities for intellectual and creative growth on our campus. At the same time, many are also struggling to make ends meet, working part-time jobs while maintaining full-time student status and, in some cases, supporting their own families. My department is a “four-field” anthropology program (cultural, biological, archaeological, and linguistic). In addition to required courses for our cultural anthropology curriculum, I occasionally teach courses in the comparative and ethnographic study of religion. This class, a new addition to the program, would be the only class I teach focusing on a specific religious tradition (evangelicalism) in a specific geographic region (North America), though the purview expands somewhat over the length of the course.
