While doing a routine web search for "Seton Hill University," I came across the online portfolio of Jen, an adult student in Seton Hill's business program.
As a non-traditional student, this program has allowed me to complete my undergraduate degree at my own pace and with a schedule my family can live with. While the accelerated class work load is not easy, I enjoy the friendly professors, the serene campus, and the learning experience in general is top notch. I am so impressed with SHU, that I plan to stay on to achieve my MBA.
Jen has posted a reflection paper that concludes:
Now as I prepare for my last year at Seton Hill as an undergrad student, I look back on my progress, my experiences, and my growth as a person. Because I had so many years of work experience, I never understood the necessity to obtain a Bachelor’s degree. Now that I am almost finished, I made the decision to seek my Master’s degree. The combination of liberal arts core classes (history, science, math, the arts, and religion) has made me a well-rounded person (and fun at parties). No amount of time spent on the job can make up for this fundamental learning experience. It becomes embedded into your person.
What have I gained from my time at Seton Hill? I am sure I cannot even begin to comprehend all that I have been given. I have matured. I have learned. I have thought. I have applied. I have created. I have commitment. I have confidence. I have a chance. Thank you, SHU.

Caitlin Fienzle, a senior history major at Seton Hill, recently took an online World War II history class.Logging on to the class anytime of the day or night from her dorm room, Fienzle said the class was a great experience.
"I was so into the class," Fienzle said. "I got so involved sometimes I lost track of time."
Fienzle was especially taken by an e-discussion group that involved two "armies" fighting -- debating, really -- over questions posed by class professor Dr. John Spurlock.
Her favorite point of contention: Did the demand by the U.S. for the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan help or hinder Allied war aims?
Spurlock said the discussions reflected the greatest strength of online education: the depth, richness and inclusiveness of student participation in class.
Dr.Spurlock and I will be presenting a workshop on teaching with simulations and games, as part of a faculty workshop next semester.

Final Presentation Gallery -- Jerz: New Media Projects (EL405)
Final Presentation Gallery
"New Media Projects" introduces students to Inform 7, The Games Factory 2, Flash, Blender 3D, and Hammer. All students completed short projects in each medium, and selected a tool to use for a midterm and a final project.
Students kept a development journal on their weblogs, and often helped each other get past rough spots. Since few of my students had any programming experience, there were some rough spots and tense times, but there were also grand "aha!" events that accumulated as the semester progressed. I'm pleased with what my students accomplished.
See the list of final project postings.
EL236: Monday 10:30-12:30
EL405: Wednesday 10:30-12:30

CFP: Virtual Reality in Real Life 2006 (Online Conference) | Kairosnews
VR@RL seeks participants interested in investigating the intersection of rhetoric and new media. The conference seeks to provide a forum for scholars working in this emerging area of inquiry, to address common problems in research and teaching, and to uncover fruitful points of connection. Fundamentally, the conference will address new media as it exists now and as it is emerging as an embodied, material concern.
Topics might include:
* new media in technical and professional writing programs
* new media in first-year composition
* the rhetoric of blogging and podcasting
* the impact of technology on theories of writing
* rhetoric and composition’s disciplinary future in new media
* new cultural practices and communities related to new media
* copyright and intellectual property
We are particularly interested in presentations that will make use of new media formats including screencasts, video, audio, and, of course, hypertext.
While preaching about time-management is obligatory when you teach a lot of freshmen, I never pretend that I don't suffer from the same problems.
Inside Higher Ed :: Academic AWOLThe busy academics who subscribe to my newsletter have probably not even noticed its absence. Yet, as I returned to regular publishing schedule, I longed to resume with a zinger of a story, one that would make my readers exclaim, “These tips were certainly worth the wait.” The longer I procrastinated the more grandiose my goals became. As January slipped into February, it got more and more difficult to sit down and write.

Weblogs: a contributory element to the research dissemination process (via Jerz's Literacy Weblog)Weblogs: a contributory element to the research dissemination process
[PDF] (ePortfolio Research and Development Community)
The traditional, dominant method for getting academic work, research and ideas reviewed and accepted by peers is for work to be published via a recognised source. Publication in a acknowledged journal demonstrates the work meets a required standard for acceptance into the academic community.When an academic is working on an idea at a very low level they may call upon colleagues within their department to revise and pass comments. However, this process is less well suited for work that is at the "working or draft stage"; i.e., not quite ready for submission for publication, but well past the beginning stages of development. It would be ideal if a wider body of reviewers could assess the work. --David Tosh and Ben Werdmuller
The author talks how lucky Americans are and how very wonderful America is as a country. There are many advantages that America has over many other countries. America is considered to be one of the only countries that people feel like free individuals inside of themselves. It has brought up and raised many great people in history today. But stll so many other countries despise America.
America has helped so many other countries; it is a great nation, why is it that some other countries despise America and these are the same countries that America has either helped or that want to be like America?
This is a poem where the author talks about how America should be what it is supposed to be; everybody should be equal because everybody contributed to make it what it is now and what it will be. The author of this peom talks about how America was never America to him and how there has never been equality and then he goes ahead to say that whoever made America must bring back again, What exactly do you think the author wants America to be like?
In this article, the author Patricia Williams talks and elaborates more on the Patriot Act that was passed after the September 11 attacks. i basically think that the act was both a good and a bad thing. it was a good thing because, it was aimed for a good motive because we can never be too sure when someone might try to attack america again. it was also a bad thing because some people felt kind of violated and people were kind of like looked doing what they did not do. do you think this Act has made a change or is on the way of accomplishing what it was designed to?

I just find it funny that Icons is what the rest of the world connects to the USA with. My question is what do americans connect to the rest of the world with?

I just got this note from the writing center director, Kim Pennesi:
The Writing Center is sponsoring a writing clinic a couple of times over the next 2 weeks. The clinic will consist of a number of tables at which writing consultants will discuss various topics, as well as distribute some helpful handouts. The topics are APA documentation, MLA documentation, Incorporating Sources (and plagiarism), Thesis Statements, Introductions/Conclusions, and Organization (including transitions). We will also have a general info table to briefly address other concerns.The clinic, called Write Aid, will be held on Thursday, April 14, from 12:30-2 pm in A 206; and Monday, April 18, from 8:30-10 pm in A 402 and A 406. You'll soon be seeing posters, Communicator ads, and mailings about it. We're trying to make it a fun and informative event--we'll have candy and door prizes.

Encouraging Independent Learning with Tools and Methods that Students will Love
Okay, so all students won't love them all the time, but the reason I'm blogging this is because I noticed Gina Burgese was cited as an example of successful blogs in education.

Princeton Cracks Down on Grade Inflation
In a move students protested last year, Princeton became the first elite college to cap the number of A's that can be awarded.
Previously, there was no official limit to the number of A's handed out, and nearly half the grades in an average Princeton class have been A-pluses, A's or A-minuses. Now, each department can give A's to no more than 35 percent of its students each semester.
Princeton's effort is being monitored closely by other hallowed halls, and some expect to see a ripple effect in coming years. --Geoff Mulvihill
Huck is a good role model for several reasons. First, he believes that slavery is wrong. He believes in treating people equally regardless of color. When Huck sees the widow's runaway slave Jim on Jackson's Island, he has mixed emotions about what he should say and do. He feels badly that the widow is going to sell Jim and separate him from his family. Huck decides against better reasoning to help Jim escape down the Mississippi River to Cairo.
Another example of good role modeling is Huck's faithfulness to those he loves and cares for. Huck lies to protect Jim on several occasions. Lying is not the best thing, but to Huckleberry, the truth is not always a black and white issue. He is faithful to his friends and chooses friendship instead. An illustration of another positive side of Huck shows us that he has a good and true heart, and the best intentions even though they may not turn out right. For example, the widow tells Huck to pray for the dinner they are having. Huck's interpretation is, "God thank you for the meal and if you get the chance, please let me catch a big catfish." The widow tells Huck that he shouldn't pray for material things. Huck disagrees because his Sunday School teacher teaches him to pray to God for what you want, and it will be granted. The widow tells him that the teacher is talking about spiritual things. He still disagrees, and is sent to his room. Even though his intentions are the best, he still comes up short; but he keeps on trying.
Finally, Huckleberry Finn thinks life is precious and shouldn't be wasted. This is the most important lesson he can teach today's young people. He and Jim find themselves in a situation as they are floating down the Mississippi River. All of a sudden, they see a ferry boat and Huck jumps off of the raft to avoid being hit. He swims to shore and meets a family named the Grangerfords. Huck stays with the Grangerfords and gets to know them. The Grangerfords have been feuding with another family named the Sheperdsons.
One day a fight breaks out over love between the Grangerford's daughter and the Sheperdson's son. Huck watches from a tree in terror as the two families fight each other to the death. He realizes from this awful experience how easily life can be taken away, and that people should try to come together and work out their problems before they get out of hand.
Throughout "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," there are many instances of positive role modeling behavior for young adults in my view. At first sight Huck's actions look questionable to many. I choose to look at Huck as a kid without a lot of adult supervision and support who tries to make his way in the world. He is only human and makes mistakes, but I think he learns from them, and that is all that any of us can try to do.
Obviously this woman was immensly corageous to put herself through such an ordeal. Boatwright's decision wwas more contraversial and more of a gamble because she had already made a lfe for herself, a husband and kids. Almost too late in life to make such a decision.
I that sexism in rap started out as a few men's insecurities in themselves that made them begin to rap about hating women, but then it became a trend and part or rap culture to make such statements. Funk is a good example of a musical genre where the artists are prominently black. Yet they don't rap to insult women.
The lifestyle portrayed in this essay has been proven to be very controversial, especially of late. Although I am not personally supportive of this type of lifestyle, I am very supportive of standing up for oneself. It is very important for people in this world to stand up for what they believe in, no matter what obsticles they may face. In this case, Katherine was faced with making a decision that I'm sure would be a hard one to make. She was forced to stand up for herself against her family so that she could live out her life as she felt the need to do so. Many variables had an effect on the decisions she had to make. Had she not talked to Jean after childhood, she may not have ever felt the way she recently did for her. However, had Jean never left, she may not have ever been married to her husband and never have had four children. These are all variables that had an influence on the decisions Kathrine had to make. The path she followed was one that she felt she needed to follow and I for one, commend her for that. I hope that everyone can bennifit from her decisions in life.
In this story Dick was looking for a job that paid well. He was going on a boat and he wasn't looking for anything, but it just landed in his lap. A boy was drowning and Dick jumped in to save him. Dick thought nothing of it, he could swim so he saved the boy. So when he brought the boy back to his father the man later rewarded with a job as a clerk. He wasn't looking for advancement, he was just helping out someone. Life rewards a person for helping out other people. I also think the story could be saying that once a person stops looking for something they will find it.
I never really thought about our class having an effect on what kind of education a child recieves. I don't think it's fair how some kids have more advantages than other kids. The children were born into these families they didn't get to pick them. Rich children get better educations,not because of the teachers they have it s because of the technology they have in their schools. The more technology a school has mean the better education for the students. I took this article as it saying that the kids can only grow up and be as good as there parents. It's like saying a child that has a parent that is a janitor, that child can only grow up to be in that class, no better. In some cases rich children grow up to be just like there rich parents.
Reading skills show high return - PittsburghLIVE.com
Audrey Quinlan, assistant professor of education at Seton Hill University, in Greensburg, assigns her undergraduate students to interview children ages 3 to 8, asking what they know about reading. Other students share reading journals with sixth graders.
The assignments show budding teachers just how differently kids learn to read. They also discover that children of the same age might read at different levels.
"It's not easy," Quinlan said of teaching reading. "How do you teach somebody to do this? A lot of it is helping them make the connections. Good readers make connections by themselves. A good teacher can help build on that and provide strategies for students to use."

EL 150: Intro to Literary Study (Dennis G. Jerz -- Seton Hill University)
One of the librarians has send me an e-mail observing that some students are using their blogs to complain about the Seton Hill library. I'm perfectly happy with letting people vent, but here's an opportunity for me to talk about library research and the function of librarians.
As I've said many times, reference librarians love helping people -- for most of them, it's why they became librarians in the first place. So, to quote from my own handout, "Academic Journals -- Finding Them Online"
To find the best academic sources for your paper...Psychologists have learned that, even when research proves that people work better and faster when they ask for help rather than muddle around on their own, people still have the tendency to believe they will only waste time if they stop what they are doing and ask for help. In computer interface design, this is called the "Active User Paradox." Try to recognize and work against this tendency, and you'll spend less time sitting in front of your computer pulling out your hair, and more time reading good sources for your paper.You'll save yourself time and aggravation, and you will get better results.

- Walk to the library.

The other day, a student sent me an e-mail that included the plea, "I am scared to death of your class... Give me something known. I don't know how to read something and figure out the unknown conflicts. I believe what someone tells me. I don't take hints. If someone wants me to know something they need to tell me. I am not good at reading between the lines." After I recieved permission to quote from that e-mail, I wrote a lengthy blog entry on my site, where SHU math professor Josh Sasmor suggested that I read The Irascible Professor-commentary of the day 01-20-04. No surprises?, an excerpt from which runs as follows:
I think college tests should include surprise questions... I think many, maybe even the majority, of classroom test questions should be of the "no surprises" variety. The professor must tell the students very clearly what definitions, theories, and ideas are important. And the students must memorize that material and demonstrate that they have done so by answering simple, straightforward questions.My students have probably heard me remind them that, in the real world, they will encounter complex, messy problems that don't come with study guides, and their reactions to those problems won't be compared to an answer printed in the back of a book. Even the students who complained about the pressure I put on them towards the end of "Practice of Journalism" did recognize that I was trying to simulate the way journalism is practiced in the real world. For the most part, I've been very happy with the way Seton Hill students approach their education.But the best performing students, the students who have understood the material deeply, the students who merit A's and '’s, should also be able to use the course material to answer some "new" questions. That's what the world outside the classroom will demand of them. The college instructor should, of course, give students ample practice at applying the material. What I am arguing is that the professor should not provide examples of every possible type of question; he or she should not give tests that ask students only to memorize each of the possible types of question along with the answer for each type.
If the instructor tells students that they will have to answer some surprise questions on tests and if the instructor explains why, the students might well accept that the instructor has their long-term best interests in mind.

I realize most of my students are on a tight budget. I've set up pages so that students who need to purchase books for my classes can conveniently check Amazon.com for inexpensive used copies. I usually spend the first few weeks teaching from handouts or e-reserve texts, in case the books you order take too long to arrive.
STUDENTS GET BETTER GRADES WHEN TESTED FREQUENTLY IN CLASS"I was famous for the spotquizzes at Florida State. Students hated me. They raged in front of the whole class. They hated being quizzed, and yet, it worked," Tuckman said.
He added that at the end of the course, students often felt differently, since their knowledge and grades reflected the fact that they kept up with their studies every week. Many commented to Tuckman that they would not have done the assigned reading if not for the quizzes....
"By the time a midterm rolls around, students are already either successful or in big trouble," said Tuckman. "If teachers want to increase students' drive and get them to keep up with their schoolwork, we have to evaluate students' performance over shorter intervals of time."

This news probably comes too late to help those students whose midterms are over, but...
ScienceDaily News Release: Sleep Boosts Ability To Learn Language, University Of Chicago Researchers FindScientists have long hypothesized that sleep has an impact on learning, but the new study is the first to provide scientific evidence that brain activity promotes higher-level types of learning while we sleep.
Although the study dealt specifically with word learning, the findings may be relevant to other learning, Nusbaum said. "We have known that people learn better if they learn smaller bits of information over a period of days rather than all at once. This research could show how sleep helps us retain what we learn."
Ok, ok, I know its been "done to death" but just what is it about the Lord of the Rings that keeps people so interested . . .
Well I haven't confirmed anything yet. But I was thinking about including some of the things I was interested in like movies, sitcoms, books, poems, my family and etc. But I want to be different also. So I was thinking of maybe talking about rape and sexual abuse cases and what not. I am not sure if I want to do that just yet.
I was even thinking about creating a website for healthier food choices or about relationship ideas and advice. Now that I am brainstorming I am leaning more towards the "Better Relationship" website and add rape and sexual abuse stories since most rapes happen from a boyfriend or someone close.
I am not really sure but I really want to do that.

Calvin Coolidge (1872 - 1933)
As a few of you already know, I spend several hours of my week working at a never-ending (albeit enjoyable) internship with the NECWB on campus. For the past year and a half, I've maintained/wrote for a student focused website about entrepreneurship called envision.
This semester we're planning big changes to the site (hasta la vista, message boards), so if you have any comments or suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.
Also, if you find any missing commas, let me know.

Here we go... this week I will introduce about 30 students to the pleasures of blogging. First I'll start with the nine students in "Writing for the Internet," and then the 24 or so in "The Practice of Journalism". Some students are in both classes, and some already have weblogs. A few faculty members have expressed interest in blogs, too.
