My Life and Stryper Revealed
HONESTLY My life and Stryper revealed. By Michael Sweet Founding member, singer, songwriter, and guitarist of the pioneering Christian rock band Stryper tells his life story…. Honestly. with Dave Rose and Doug Van Pelt © 2014 Big3 Records ONE I drink. Occasionally I smoke. If you ask my wife, my kids, my tech, my agent or my manager they'll all tell you that I curse more than I should. I've fooled around with women on tour buses. I’ve been arrested for indecent exposure. I've been reckless with money to the point of bankruptcy. My favorite bands are The Beatles, Van Halen and Judas Priest. I was pissed at God when my wife died of cancer and I despise religion. I am a Christian. I'm Michael Sweet. I’m a singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer and a founding member of the pioneering Christian rock band Stryper. We've sold almost 10 million records to date and were the first Christian band to air on MTV, and to have four #1 videos. We even had two top-10 videos at the same time, back when MTV actually played music videos. We've played soccer stadiums and biker bars, sometimes in the same week. Despite having done all of that, I'm still often known as the Bible-Tossing- Yellow & Black-Bumble-Bee guy. The Jesus guy. The 80's hair/glam Christian metal guy. An irrelevant joke. Or, even worse-- sometimes I'm not known at all. So who am I? I'm a guy that grew up in Southern California – sort of a surf punk kind of guy who absolutely loved music.

Students Accountable to Students
Members of a group consider themselves mostly account- able to an external authority, while members of a team 2 also hold themselves and each other accountable. In moments of contribution and accountability, discussions of course material in the TBL classroom acquire a remarkable emotional charge. The Social Foundation of Team-Based Learning: Students Accountable to Students Michael Sweet, Laura M. Pelton-Sweet When I was taking science here at Harvard, it was awfully intim- idating at times, and . it was just lonely. You’re sort of in your own world. I didn’t know the student’s name to my left. I didn’t know the student’s name to my right. That’s really disconcerting. Eric Chehab, Harvard student (Derek Bok Center, 1992) No man is an island. John Donne The human need for a sense of belonging is deep and powerful and has been explored by scholars as prominent as Freud (1922), Festinger (1954), and Schutz (1958), among many others. Following Tinto’s book Leaving College: Rethinking the Causes and Cures of Student Attrition (1987), many began investigating the extent to which a college student’s sense of social connec- tion in the classroom affects variables like academic performance, self- efficacy, motivation to learn, and perceptions of one’s instructor, peers, and task value (Booker, 2008; Freeman, Anderman, and Jensen, 2007; Pittman and Richmond, 2007; Summers, Beretvas, Svinicki, and Gorin, 2005). Given this growing understanding of the social dimension of the class- room, it is no surprise that positive emotional and motivational effects of NEW DIRECTIONS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING, no.

Christian Heavy Metal Music, “Family Values,” and Youth Culture, 1984–1994
Metal Missionaries to the Nation | 103 Metal Missionaries to the Nation: Christian Heavy Metal Music, “Family Values,” and Youth Culture, 1984–1994 Eileen Luhr n June 26, 1987, members of the Christian metal band Stryken attended a Motley Crüe concert in San Antonio, Texas. It was not Ouncommon for Christian bands to attend secular concerts; indeed, many bands explained that they did so in order to keep current on musical trends. But Stryken arrived at the show ready for confrontation. According to the Christian metal magazine White Throne, the band, “wearing full suits of armor . and bearing a 14 x 8 foot wooden cross,” “stormed the doors of the arena, pushing through the crowds of teenagers and television cameras down the corridor towards the inlet to the main stage.” At this point, the “boys in armor” erected the cross and “began to preach to the massed [sic] of kids who were gathering all around.” The authorities quickly intervened, and, “ordered to remove ‘the cross’ or face arrest, the members of Stryken continued to speak openly about Jesus Christ, and were one by one hand-cuffed and forcibly removed from the arena.”1 Stryken’s actions—which invoked the persecuted early Christians described in the Acts of the Apostles—offer some insights into Christian metal during the 1980s. Motley Crüe’s music and the lifestyle of its members were designed to shock middle America, but the band had become one of the most successful acts of the 1980s. By upstaging Motley Crüe’s over-the-top behavior with their bold act, Stryken attempted to claim heavy metal’s reputation for outrageousness for Christianity.

Student Accountability in Team-Based Learning Classes
TSOXXX10.1177/0092055X15603429Teaching SociologyStein et al. 603429research-article2015 Article Teaching Sociology 2016, Vol. 44(1) 28 –38 Student Accountability in © American Sociological Association 2015 DOI: 10.1177/0092055X15603429 Team-based Learning Classes ts.sagepub.com Rachel E. Stein1, Corey J. Colyer1, and Jason Manning1 Abstract Team-based learning (TBL) is a form of small-group learning that assumes stable teams promote accountability. Teamwork promotes communication among members; application exercises promote active learning. Students must prepare for each class; failure to do so harms their team’s performance. Therefore, TBL promotes accountability. As part of the course grade, students assess the performance of their teammates. The evaluation forces students to rank their teammates and to provide rationale for the highest and lowest rankings. These evaluations provide rich data on small-group dynamics. In this paper, we analyze 211 student teammate assessments. We find evidence that teams consistently give the lowest evaluations to their least involved members, suggesting that the team component increases accountability, which can promote learning. From these findings we draw implications about small-group dynamics in general and the pedagogy of TBL in particular. Keywords team-based learning, small-group learning, accountability In the past few decades, pedagogical researchers include properly formed and managed groups, have explored the effectiveness of small-group accountability for the quality of students’ work, learning in the classroom. Such research empha- frequent and timely feedback, and group assign- sizes the role of small groups in fostering active ments to promote learning and team development learning and argues that active learning is the most (Michaelsen 2004; Michaelsen and Sweet 2008).

Without a Doubt, Stryper Is One of the Top Christian Rock Bands of All-Time, and Certainly the Most Celebrated Christian Metal Band of All Time
Without a doubt, Stryper is one of the top Christian rock bands of all-time, and certainly the most celebrated Christian metal band of all time. Comprised of Michael Sweet (vocals/guitar), Oz Fox (guitar), Tim Gaines (bass), and Robert Sweet (drums), Stryper has been rocking since 1983, and is responsible for such '80s metal classic albums as 'Soldiers Under Command,' 'To Hell with the Devil,' In God We Trust,' and such MTV hit singles/videos as "Calling on You," "Free," and "Honestly." After a sabbatical for much of the 1990's, Stryper returned strong in the early 21st century. But it was not until their 2011 covers set, 'The Covering,' that the aforementioned definitive Stryper was reinstated, as the band welcomed Gaines back into the fold. "Tim is an original member, so there's a certain magic and chemistry that you have with the original line-up, that you can't replace with someone else," explains Michael Sweet. "It's just there, it is what it is. And Tim brings that to the band. He's a very talented bass player, singer, and keyboard player. He brings a certain chemistry and energy to the band, and it takes the four of us to recreate that." Running the gamut from 1970's era classic rock (Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song," Deep Purple's "Highway Star," Kiss' "Shout It Out Loud," etc.) to 1980's era heavy metal (Black Sabbath's "Heaven and Hell," the Scorpions' "Blackout," "Iron Maiden's "The Trooper," etc.), 'The Covering' is certain to be a most welcomed addition to Stryper fan's album collections.

Among their targets was a music genre called heavy metal. Ever since its emergence, the genre met with serious opposition. Accused of promoting violence, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse and distorted images of sex, heavy metal music was considered a threat to the well-being of America’s youth. These accusations were major arguments in the 1980s religious conservatives’ crusade to establish family values. Trying to raise parents’ awareness of the music’s ostensible catastrophic effects on adolescents,
