This document lists several goat breeds that are raised for meat and milk production including Alpine, Boer, Lamoncha, Nubian, Pygmie, Saanien, Spanish, and Toggenberg goats.
This document discusses the benefits of goat farming in Pakistan. It notes that goats are cheaper to purchase and maintain than cattle, reproduce more quickly, and can survive on lower quality food. Goat farming also allows the simultaneous production of meat, milk, skin, and fiber. The document further outlines that goat farming requires less labor and space than cattle farming, has high market demand, and is well-suited for women and children to manage.

This document discusses ePortfolios created by students at Upstate College of Health Professions. It explains that ePortfolios allow students to showcase their work, growth, and reflections over time. Students can include classwork, projects, presentations, feedback and anything else that defines them as health professionals. The document recommends using Google Sites to create ePortfolios as it is free and flexible. It provides examples of student ePortfolios and step-by-step instructions for setting up an ePortfolio on Google Sites.
Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face classroom methods with online activities and digital tools. It replaces some in-person seat time and activities with purposefully planned online equivalents. Instructors choose methods that suit each activity best to create flexible, accessible learning that leverages the strengths of in-person and online methods. Blended learning is not an opportunity for less work or involvement, but can increase student learning through improved pedagogy, greater access and flexibility, and more cost-effective education when implemented effectively. It allows for human interaction and participation at each learner's convenience across physical and digital spaces.
Intentional Course Design for Blended Learningwindleh
1. The document provides guidance on building an activity framework to map out the organization, learning outcomes, and assessments of a course.
2. It instructs the user to identify topics, learning outcomes, activities, and measurements on sticky notes and organize them visually.
3. The second part discusses considerations for redesigning learning activities for an online environment, such as which activities transfer well and which need redesign, as well as content order and how students will demonstrate learning.
The document discusses plans for migrating courses from the Blackboard learning management system (LMS) called ANGEL to a new LMS called Blackboard at SUNY Ulster. Key points include:
- Forming a migration steering committee with representatives from various campus departments
- Developing a calendar to migrate courses by department between 2015-2016
- Creating checklists for instructors and communications for students about the migration
- Training instructors on best practices for online teaching through OpenSUNY initiatives
- Addressing technical issues like file formats and links that need fixing during the migration
This document summarizes key concepts around making ethical choices related to criminal justice, terrorism, and war. It discusses debates around just war, responses to terrorism, and ethical justifications for limiting civil liberties and using torture. Specifically, it contrasts crime control and utilitarian approaches that emphasize ends over means with rights-based standards that emphasize due process and inalienable rights. Examples are provided of controversial policies and practices implemented after 9/11 and their impacts on privacy, detention, and surveillance. Ethical dilemmas around coercing confessions and "dirty Harry" reasoning are also examined.
This document discusses various forms of misconduct by correctional professionals, such as bribery, abuse of inmates, and negligence. It provides examples like the "Cowboys" gang of guards in Colorado who beat inmates. The document also discusses acts like the Prison Rape Elimination Act to address the problem of prison rape. It explores alternatives to the traditional punitive model, like restorative justice that focuses on rehabilitation and community involvement rather than solely punishment.

It explores alternatives to the traditional punitive model, like restorative justice that focuses on rehabilitation and community involvement rather than solely punishment.
This document summarizes key aspects of discretion and dilemmas faced by correctional professionals such as officers and treatment staff. It discusses halfway houses and issues like drugs and abuse that can occur. It describes the discretion that officers have in charging infractions and outlines types of officers. Ethical issues for treatment staff, medical experiments on prisoners, and cases of misconduct by probation officers are also summarized.
The document discusses various topics related to ethics in punishment and corrections, including elements of punishment, treatment goals, guidelines for punishment, and rationales for punishment. It also covers correctional goals like retribution, prevention, and rehabilitation. Other topics addressed include deterrence, incapacitation, three strikes laws, costs of prisons, cruel and unusual punishment, castration as a deterrent, shaming punishments, private corrections, capital punishment, and challenges with correctional officer subcultures.
This document discusses various forms of ethical misconduct that can occur within the legal system. It provides examples of defense attorney misconduct such as using drugs or alcohol during trials. It also discusses types of prosecutorial misconduct like withholding exculpatory evidence. The document then examines issues like judicial misconduct and concerns about false convictions due to mistakes or biases. It explores challenges to prosecutorial independence and ensuring justice. Overall, the document analyzes different types of ethical violations that can undermine fairness within the legal system.
This document discusses various ethical issues that arise for legal professionals. It covers the duties of defense attorneys, even when representing clients they know are guilty. It also discusses prosecutors' discretion around charging decisions and conflicts of interest. The document outlines attorneys' responsibilities to clients and duties of confidentiality and addressing perjury. It then covers issues around expert witnesses, forensic evidence, and problematic cases like those involving Joyce Gilchrist. Finally, it discusses judicial discretion around interpreting laws and sentencing.
The document summarizes key concepts about law and the legal profession. It discusses different theories of law, such as natural law and positive law. It also examines justifications for law like harm prevention and legal moralism. The document analyzes paradigms of law and perceptions of the judicial system. It compares legal agent and moral agent models of legal representation. It also summarizes ethical standards and responsibilities for lawyers.
Police officers have tremendous power and discretion in society, but some abuse this power through corruption or misconduct. While the majority of officers act professionally and ethically, a small minority engage in criminal behaviors like accepting bribes, planting evidence, or excessive use of force. Corruption can stem from individual officers, poor management and supervision that tolerates unethical behaviors, or systemic issues in how the public and law enforcement interact. Various reforms aim to reduce corruption through improved training, leadership, oversight, and accountability.
Law enforcement officers frequently face moral dilemmas and use discretion in their work. Three key areas of liability for police are discrimination, investigative practices, and use of force. Officers may use different levels of control including authority, persuasion, and physical force. Discrimination and racial profiling continue to be issues, despite some progress in areas like New Jersey. Undercover work and the use of informants and interrogation techniques also present ethical challenges. While some force is necessary, research links excessive force to factors like an officer's personality and lack of accountability within a police culture.
This document discusses the role of police in society and some of the ethical issues they may face. It provides two examples of police misconduct - in one case officers planted drugs and lied after killing an innocent woman in a botched drug raid, and in another officers were accused of committing perjury in drug bust reports. The document also discusses the tremendous power police have, and how even with professional standards and codes of ethics, some officers may abuse that power or engage in "noble cause corruption" by using unethical means to catch criminals. It explores the tension between seeing the police role as "crime fighters" versus "public servants".
This document summarizes key concepts from a chapter on becoming an ethical professional. It discusses declining morality in society and theories on how people develop morality. It covers biological, learning, and developmental theories of moral development, including Kohlberg's stages of moral development. It then discusses factors that influence unethical behavior and how leaders can foster ethics. Overall, the document examines the development of morality and ethics from multiple perspectives to understand how individuals and society can become more ethical.
This document provides an overview of concepts related to justice, including distributive justice, corrective justice, procedural justice, and restorative justice. It discusses theories of justice proposed by philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Rawls, and theories regarding distributive standards. It also covers components of justice such as substantive versus procedural aspects of corrective justice and examples of applying different theories of justice.
This document provides an overview of ethics in criminal justice. It discusses why ethics is important to study, as criminal justice professionals have power and discretion that can impact people's lives. They are also public servants obligated to provide due process and equal protection. The document defines key terms like morality, ethics, discretion, and explores ethical demands and principles of public service. It provides examples of ethical dilemmas that criminal justice professionals may face and stresses the importance of identifying and resolving such issues.
This document provides an overview of different approaches to determining moral behavior and resolving ethical dilemmas. It discusses deontological and teleological ethical systems, as well as approaches based on ethical formalism, utilitarianism, religion, natural law, virtue ethics, care ethics, egoism, and situational ethics. Examples of real-world ethical dilemmas are also provided to illustrate how different systems might approach issues like corporate responsibility, police misconduct, and charity organization scandals.
Seminar on Teaching and Learning: Session 2 Part 1windleh
The document summarizes Sophia's attempts to make her intro to acting course more dynamic by emphasizing teamwork and collaboration. In the first class, she had students form groups to create a mind map of words associated with "Acting" and their meanings. She found this sparked organic discussion. She also assigned reading questions for groups to discuss and prepare responses to, which energized students and prepared them for an upcoming quiz. Sophia felt these changes involved students more and built a safer environment for creative risk-taking.
Seminar on Teaching and Learning: Session 2windleh
This document outlines an acting instructor's experimentation with new teaching strategies in her intro to acting course.
She tried a visual mapping exercise in the first class where students brainstormed words associated with acting in small groups. Their words formed a collaborative mind map. She also assigned reading questions for groups to discuss in the next class and informed students the questions would be on an upcoming quiz, motivating preparation.
The instructor found these team-based approaches built collaboration and gave students specific, doable focuses. She felt grateful for the professional development workshop that inspired her teaching tune-up. The document concludes with reflection questions on insights from the readings and experiments teachers may try in their own classrooms.
This document provides an overview of a college library course, outlining its basic goals, tools, and skills.

This document summarizes library activity and statistics from fall semesters between 2007-2011. It provides gate count numbers showing an increase in on-site library usage each fall. Specifically, the fall totals went from 27,853 in 2007-2008 to 49,141 in 2010-2011. The document also discusses expanding computer workstations and replacing aging computers to better serve student needs.
Marketing learning center resources at the brcwindleh
The document discusses marketing efforts at the Business and Research Center (BRC) to increase student use of tutoring services from 2009-2012. Through improved marketing using an electronic message board and announcements, the number of students and tutoring hours increased from 2009 to peak in 2011, although hours dipped slightly in 2012. A student survey found most take classes at the main Stone Ridge campus but would consider attending full or part time at BRC. The summary considers how to better understand student needs and market services as the BRC's role evolves.
Using clickers to improve student understandingwindleh
The document discusses using clicker response devices to improve student understanding and participation in a physical geography course for education majors. The class previously had little student engagement or opportunities to assess understanding during lectures. Using clickers allows for anonymous polling of all students, which increased participation to 100% and revealed student reasoning and misconceptions. Test findings showed astounding gains in understanding with this approach. The author hopes to expand use of clickers into group work and other activities and assessments.
