    Finish, Culet Size, and Girdle Thickness: Categories of the GIA Diamond Cut Grading System This booklet summarizes the relationship of Finish, Culet Size, and Girdle Thickness to the GIA Cut Grading System for round brilliant diamonds. It is intended to help members of the jewelry trade better understand the attributes of diamond appearance, and how those attributes are evaluated within the GIA Cut Grading System. Finish—Polish and Symmetry In the GIA Cut Grading System for standard round brilliant To determine the relationship between finish and overall diamonds, finish (for Polish and Symmetry features) is cut quality, GIA conducted extensive observation testing factored into the final overall cut grade as follows: of numerous diamonds using standardized lighting and viewing conditions. Observations of diamonds with • To qualify for an Excellent cut grade, polish and comparable proportions, but differing in their polish and symmetry must be Very Good or Excellent. symmetry categories, were analyzed to determine the effects of finish on overall cut appearance.

The student studies randomness with emphasis on understanding variation, collects information in the face of uncertainty, checks distributional assumptions, tests hypotheses, uses probability as a tool for anticipating what the distribution of data may look like under a set of assumptions, and uses appropriate statistical models to draw conclusions from data. The course introduces the student to applications in engineering, business, economics, medicine, education, the sciences, and other related fields. The use of technology (computers or graphing calculators) will be required in certain applications. Student Learning Outcome Statements (SLO) • Student Learning Outcome: Organize, analyze, and utilize appropriate methods to draw conclusions based on sample data by constructing and/or evaluating tables, graphs, and numerical measures of characteristics of data. • Student Learning Outcome: Identify, evaluate, interpret and describe data distributions through the study of sampling distributions and probability theory. • Student Learning Outcome: Collect data, interpret, compose and defend conjectures, and communicate the results of random data using statistical analyses such as interval and point estimates, hypothesis tests, and regression analysis.

  • Online Content Calculator User Guide
    Online Content Calculator User Guide Introduction How much time do you spend lecturing in your online class? That question can be a difficult one to answer. Since many online courses are asynchronous, students may speed up a one-hour lecture (I wouldn’t recommend lecture for one hour under any circumstances but more about that below) and watch it in 30 minutes. Or the lecture may be difficult and students may need two hours to understand it. So how do you measure the actual contact time? That is not a rhetorical question. Instructors of online courses are required to report their contact hours, which must meet the standards set forth by the Carnegie Foundation. In fact the credit units that we are all familiar with, i.e. 3-credit courses, is based on what is referred to as the Carnegie Unit. For a 15 week, 3-credit course, the requirement is for 45 contact—that is classroom—hours and a total of 90 hours of homework or lab work in the course. A Carnegie unit defines a semester unit of credit as equal to a minimum of three hours of work per week for a semester. A 16-week course equates to three hours of student work per week (1 hour lecture plus 2 hours of homework or 3 hours of lab) for 16 weeks. Although this unit of measure is well established having been developed by the Carnegie Foundation in 1907, it has come under increasing fire with the recent push toward competency-based education. But I’m not going to tackle that issue here.

    The Science of Gemology Gemology can be defined as the science of gems. It is most closely Minerals as Gemstones allied with mineralogy, drawing on knowledge of chemistry, physics and geology. Knowledge of physics and chemistry aids in understanding the physical, chemical, and optical properties of minerals. Geological knowledge allows an understanding of the origins and probable natural sources of gemstones. Gemology is not only concerned with the study of natural gem materials, but also with gem testing and evaluation methods, the cutting, polishing and mounting of gem-quality specimens, as well as identification of the distinguishing properties and aesthetic value (grade) of synthetically manufactured gems. Gemologists must also concern themselves with the properties, value and sources of precious metals, as well as the market value of gems and precious metals. What constitutes a gemstone ? Gems traditionally held in highest esteem are diamonds, rubies, “Gemstone” is a collective term for all “stones” used for personal adornment (i.e. as jewelry) or for other ornamental uses. sapphires, emeralds, and some varieties of opal. However, large, high-quality specimens of semiprecious gems (e.g. Tourmaline) The term is usually restricted to “stones” of natural origin, however, often command a very high price even in their natural form. there are “synthetic gems”. Prepared precious gems Not all gemstones are minerals as such (e.g. amber, pearl, coral, jet, opal, ivory, petrified wood). Some are rocks (multimineralic). A “gem” can be thought of as a gemstone that has been cut and/or polished to accentuate its beauty. Gemstones are generally divided into two main categories: Precious gems: characterized by great beauty, durability, stability, large size and rarity.
