  • 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.

    Luke D. Held Aerospace Systems Engineering Hometown: North Canton, Ohio Professional/Student Organizations: Zips Aero Design Team Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society Engineering Student Council Co-op/Research Experience NASA Glenn Research Center - Cleveland, Ohio Moog Flo-Tork – Wooster, Ohio Additive Engineering Solutions – Akron, Ohio University of Akron Research – Akron, Ohio University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) – Dayton, Ohio Why did you choose the University of Akron? The University of Akron's College of Engineering offered an experience I couldn't turn down. I knew that UA had a strong engineering program academically, along with a number of great professors to back it up. In addition, I found that there were a slew of award-winning design teams to join, so I could apply the knowledge I gained. Most importantly, UA offered a one-of- a-kind co-op program in which I could get a feel for what I could expect in a real engineering job, and make some cash while I was at it. Why did you choose Aerospace Systems Engineering as your major? It may sound cliché, but I feel like my major chose me. Ever since I was young, I always had an interest in building - and also breaking apart - anything I could get my hands on. I loved learning how things worked and how things were made. Watching astronauts in movies and wondering about the depths of space led me to gain a further interest in planes and rockets. It all went from there. When I saw that UA offered a degree in Aerospace Systems Engineering, I didn't hesitate.

  • 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.
