![]() Educated at Ohio Wesleyan University and Boston University, and received his Doctor of Divinity from the latter, Thirkield particularly championed the cause of the black theologian. A year prior to Edgar Love’s enrollment at Howard University, Thirkield would write in the manual Education and National Character that the “largest hope for the moral and religious life of the Negro is in the pulpit” and that the “preacher is still the center of power.” Thirkield, a white man who served as president of Howard University from 1906 until he was elected to the bishopric of the Methodist church in 1912, had long been a champion of the education of blacks, having served as the first president of Gammon Theological Seminary between 18 and as general secretary of the Freedmen’s Aid and Southern Education Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield was a staunch supporter of the theological department, envisioning an “intelligent and consecrated ministry” for blacks. Designed “for those who desired to consecrate their lives to Christian and missionary work,” the theological department was relatively small and obscure, as the university began to place more institutional emphasis on the wide array of professions opening up to blacks, particularly law and medicine.

Following Gordon’s announcement of industrial education, a protest was launched by faculty groups and students, who believed such a decision as an affront to both their social positions and cognitive abilities. John Gordon, had attempted to introduce into the university’s curricula industrial education and forced manual labor, but faced the ire of both faculty and students. Howard University stressed a stringent academic program that included Greek, Latin, English, logic, foreign language, philosophy and the mental and moral sciences in its artium baccalaureatus requirements. following Emancipation, and the Missionary Society of the First Congregational Church’s response to the education and training of those new Northern arrivals. The university’s founding in 1867 directly corresponded with the influx of freedmen into Washington, D.C. Howard University was fast becoming one of the nation’s premier institutions of higher learning for blacks. The freshman class at Howard University in 1909 was the largest in the institution’s forty-two-year history.

![]() This issue will be taken up again in the review of current research that follows this overview. ![]() I believe the source of the discord can be traced to the different ways in which self-assessment is carried out, such as whether it is summative and formative. ![]() Why Self-Assess?Ĭlarity about the purpose of self-assessment allows us to interpret what otherwise appear to be discordant findings from research, which has produced mixed results in terms of both the accuracy of students' self-assessments and their influence on learning and/or performance. This learning-oriented purpose of self-assessment implies that it should be formative: if there is no opportunity for adjustment and correction, self-assessment is almost pointless. Their authors might rightly point out that the purpose is implied, but a formal definition requires us to make it plain: Why do we ask students to self-assess? I have long held that self-assessment is feedback ( Andrade, 2010), and that the purpose of feedback is to inform adjustments to processes and products that deepen learning and enhance performance hence the purpose of self-assessment is to generate feedback that promotes learning and improvements in performance. What is missing from each of these definitions, however, is the purpose of the act of self-assessment. ![]() This very broad conception might seem unwieldy, but it works because each object of assessment-competence, process, and product-is subject to the influence of feedback from oneself. Taken together, these definitions include self-assessment of one's abilities, processes, and products-everything but the kitchen sink. Self-monitoring “refers to the ability to notice our own actions, curiosity to examine the effects of those actions, and willingness to use those observations to improve behavior and thinking in the future” (p. (2008) defined “concurrent self-assessment” as “ongoing moment-to-moment self-monitoring” (p. (2016a) defined it as a “wide variety of mechanisms and techniques through which students describe (i.e., assess) and possibly assign merit or worth to (i.e., evaluate) the qualities of their own learning processes and products” (p. What is Self-Assessment?īrown and Harris (2013) defined self-assessment in the K-16 context as a “descriptive and evaluative act carried out by the student concerning his or her own work and academic abilities” (p. I will draw those distinctions in terms of the purposes of self-assessment which, in turn, determine its features: a classic form-fits-function analysis. Each of those activities involves some kind of assessment of one's own functioning, but they are so different that distinctions among types of self-assessment are needed. Without exception, reviews of self-assessment ( Sargeant, 2008 Brown and Harris, 2013 Panadero et al., 2016a) call for clearer definitions: What is self-assessment, and what is not? This question is surprisingly difficult to answer, as the term self-assessment has been used to describe a diverse range of activities, such as assigning a happy or sad face to a story just told, estimating the number of correct answers on a math test, graphing scores for dart throwing, indicating understanding (or the lack thereof) of a science concept, using a rubric to identify strengths and weaknesses in one's persuasive essay, writing reflective journal entries, and so on. Defining and Operationalizing Student Self-Assessment My review of the growing body of empirical research offers a critical perspective, in the interest of provoking new investigations into neglected areas. The treatment of theory presented here involves articulating a refined definition and operationalization of self-assessment through a lens of feedback. A lot of research has been done on the subject since then, including at least two meta-analyses hence this expanded review, in which I provide an updated overview of theory and research. The timespan for the original review was January 2013 to October 2016. This review of research on student self-assessment expands on a review published as a chapter in the Cambridge Handbook of Instructional Feedback ( Andrade, 2018, reprinted with permission). ![]() When this happens, the camera movements I tried to make also catch up quickly when they finally stop stuttering, which normally means my camera shakes violently from me hitting A and D repeatedly to try and get it to respond. Next step tends to be that lag/stutter where things start freezing and then popping back into where they should be when the game catches up. Normally dropping a quick save file is enough to fix that at first. It starts minor enough, my first sign is that I can no longer use the wasd keys to move my camera across the map, instead needing to nudge my mouse towards the edges I want to move. It's almost like the lag you get when it autosaves where everything pauses and then suddenly just pops into position when the game realizes it was doing something. RNG-Driven Combat We can mitigate risks in combat by arming our character with crossbows and potions.I've recently come back to the game after a few months (on here I only recently got it, was playing on my husbands library before) and I've noticed that after a while things just sort of stutter or break. Even if we find the challenge too much, demonstrating our resourcefulness to the nearby towns compels them to feed, bathe, and shelter us after a few days of intense work. Overall, learning to survive Roadwarden was a challenging yet enjoyable process that reinforced the savage cruelty of our environment. Likewise, fishing traps aren’t a reliable food source, and paying for a day’s meal can deplete money we could have spent on a new crossbow. Working for a settlement may earn enough for the night’s rent, but it wears down our vitality and worsens our appearance, raising prices. While I had no trouble meeting these meters over time, working with a time limit of 40 days (30 if we pick Hard) compels us to learn and abuse our world’s economy. We can divide this gameplay into three elements survival, combat, and investigation: Man Vs Wild Survival Image by JT HusseyĮncompassing most of Roadwarden’s gameplay, surviving means maintaining our character’s Vitality, Hunger, Armor, and Appearance or risking death. While the game may play as a text adventure, it compelled me to employ careful management of my supplies and gear, condemning me to starvation or death by apes if I neglected my character’s wellbeing. ![]() Gameplay: Homeless Civil Servantįiercely deceptive and brutally unapologetic, I loved Roadwarden’s intense gameplay. I highly advise checking the game out for those looking for a well-written fantasy adventure with grim overtones and an optimistic outlook. The need to unravel the peninsula’s mysteries only intensifies the more we play, culminating in several grand revelations that left me horrified with the people I’d come to serve and protect. Overall, Roadwarden’s narrative is its strongest feature. Better yet, the epilogue at the game’s end ensured our hours of toil were worth the narrative payoff. Familiarizing yourself with the well-written quirky townspeople governing the world’s edge was a delight, especially when I saved their settlements and convinced each to join civilization. While our job primarily consists of clearing roads and removing monsters, we also investigate missing persons and uncover horrific atrocities.Īlthough some of the narratives ended abruptly, locating the previous Roadwarden and convincing White Marshes felt unsatisfying, I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and narratives surrounding each settlement. For our part, we play the role of a hardcore civil servant, titled Roadwarden, tasked with uniting the several struggling settlements in an isolated peninsula and coercing them into joining the civilized world. This fierce text adventure pulls no punches, compelling us to scour a wild peninsula in search of peace, riches, and salvation.įor those looking to brave the dark and bring civilization to the wilderness, pour yourself a hot cup of tea and get to reading our adventure awaits.Įncompassing a unique blend of fantasy, pre-colonialism, and zombies, Roadwarden succeeds in crafting a strangely fantastic world as wonderful as it is dangerous. While most text adventures have transitioned into hybrid isometric games like Divinity 2 and Disco Elysium, where text is a prelude to combat or silly antics, few expect readers to study every line of prose.Įnter Roadwarden, a grim fantasy RPG and faithful recreation of retro text adventures where every piece of text is crucial to our survival and success. The combination of intuition, guesswork, and luck won’t hesitate to murder us if we neglect the feral monkey flinging dung at us three paragraphs ago. Indies With Great Accessibility Features. Connecticut was among the states to first report a heavy incidence of the disease and our area continues to be strongly affected. Boxwood Blightīoxwood blight was first detected in the United States in 2011 and is gradually spreading across the country. Keep in mind that a single plant may have multiple problems simultaneously, and display symptoms of diseases, insects and of poor care and conditions. Caring for and maintaining your plants properly, as described on the first page of this guide, is the best defense against these diseases. Most of these diseases, other than boxwood blight, affect plants that are weakened by environmental and cultural stressors. It affects all boxwood types as well as the related plants Sarcococca and Pachysandra and potentially others.īut boxwoods are susceptible to numerous diseases, some of which are common in the New York area. Of current, intense concern, boxwood blight is an aggressive fungal disease caused by Calonectria pseudonaviculata. ![]() Plant discoloration and decline, in whole or in part, is frequently a problem of care and environment but also may be disease-rooted. If boxwoods grown for commercial sale are infected, they should be destroyed and not sold.The telltale dark spots of boxwood blight ( Calonectria pseudonaviculata) photo courtesy of Flickr cc/ Orgeon Department of Agriculture

If you want to become an Agile Certified Specialist, then visit Mindmajix - A Global online training platform: “ Agile Training”. The entire project is tested during the system testing. To do testing between two modules is known as integration. ![]() Testing includes system testing, integration testing, etc. It is used to determine whether the completed project meets the required standards. Verifying and validating that a software program performs as expected is the process of testing. This step includes the developed module's unit testing. The application can influence the programming language choice. The applications can be written and tested using a variety of programming tools, including debuggers, code editors, compilers, and interpreters. Utilizing the appropriate programming language, the project is implemented. All of the architectural modules, the data flow representation with external modules, etc., are designed during this phase. In a Design Document Specification, multiple design approaches for the product architecture are suggested and listed (DDS). The SRS serves as the basis for the software design. It includes the specifications for the product that must be created throughout the course of the project. The Software Requirement Specification is the name given to this document (SRS). The requirements should be carefully documented. In requirement gathering, feedback from customers, meetings with senior managers, and information on sales and marketing all take place. The initial task during the requirement phase is to collect and analyze requirements. The project's risks, technical challenges, available resources, and development efforts are all discovered during this phase. In the planning stage, the problem is recognized with a fundamental understanding. Every firm that develops software adheres to the software development life cycle (SDLC). There are steps that should be taken when developing software. The software Development Life Cycle is referred to as SDLC. Agile was later adopted after it was initially created as a formal process. ![]() Beginning in 2001, a draught of the Agile Manifesto was created. It makes quick alterations and speedy development possible as well as continual project deliverables and ongoing project improvements. Agile software development is a method for approaching the software development lifecycle process in which the needs and solutions of many cross-functional teams and the end users, customers, or clients are satisfied through a collaborative effort. While the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a project management process, Agile is a technique for carrying out the SDLC. This will ensure that the firms run effectively. The SDLC makes sure that customers get effective and high-quality hardware or software. To specify the scope and lifetime process of hardware or software components or configurations, the software development life cycle process can be used. The phases of the software development life cycle are planning analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance. Application Development Life Cycle (ADDLC) is another name for the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) (SDLC). Several steps or processes in software development are described by the SDLC framework. In an information technology organisation, a process called the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) is applied to software or system developments. ![]() ![]() “This is a high recognition of PATH's contribution to meeting the California transportation goals to provide a safe, sustainable, integrated, equitable and efficient transportation system to enhance California’s economy and livability,” says Chief Operations Officer Zema Katsenlson.ĪDA Van as a Technology Demonstrator for Disabled TravelersĬaltrans DRISI deserves to assume a leading position in transit automation, automated driving, connected automated vehicles (CAV), connected infrastructure and V2X.

The eight tokens are a race car, Scottie dog, shoe, thimble, top hat, wheelbarrow, battleship and - now - cat. The game is based on the streets of Atlantic City, N.J., and has sold more than 275?million units worldwide. Monopoly’s iconic tokens originated when the niece of game creator Charles Darrow suggested using charms from her charm bracelet for tokens. The initiative was intended to ensure that a game created almost eight decades ago remains relevant to fans. The online contest to change the tokens was sparked by chatter on Facebook, where Monopoly has more than 10 million fans. “I think there were a lot of cat lovers in the world who reached out and voted for the cat to be the new token for Monopoly,” said Jonathan Berkowitz, vice president for Hasbro game marketing. Other pieces that competed for a spot on Monopoly included a robot, diamond ring, helicopter and guitar. The pieces identify the players and have changed quite a bit since Parker Brothers bought the game from its original designer in 1935. The vote on Facebook closed just before midnight Tuesday, marking the first time that fans had had a say on which token to add and which to toss. The shoe, wheelbarrow and iron were neck and neck in the final hours of voting. The Scottie dog has a new nemesis in Monopoly, with fans voting in an online contest to add a cat token to the property-trading game and drop the iron, toy-maker Hasbro announced yesterday.
