Criterion is a writing assessment tool that provides automated feedback on student writing submissions. Several studies found that Criterion helped improve student writing in the following ways: 1) Students who submitted multiple drafts to Criterion had higher average writing scores than those who only submitted one draft. 2) Students with lower initial scores were able to improve their writing to the level of students with higher initial scores by submitting multiple drafts to Criterion. 3) Classes that used Criterion showed greater overall improvements in student writing from first to last drafts, especially when instructors engaged in discussions about how to use Criterion's feedback.

The document summarizes the process used to gather input from various stakeholders to develop the school's plan for documenting and using student performance data. First, teachers, administrators, and other school staff provided input through meetings. Surveys were also sent to board members, retired educators, parents and other community members. Anyone who did not respond through other means was contacted directly. After compiling the feedback, drafts of the documentation plan were revised based on input from colleagues within the school and district. The final approved plan focused on disaggregating and using testing data to guide curriculum, instruction, placement in intervention programs, and goal setting with students. Data would also be used to inform professional development and resource allocation decisions.

MEDLINE search skill retention
This study measured the retention of MEDLINE searching skills in medical students from their first to fourth years of medical school under a curriculum-integrated instruction model. 102 fourth-year students completed the same MEDLINE search assignment they had in their first year. Scores were compared using t-tests, correlations, and measures of recall, precision, and F-measure. While mean grades did not significantly change, search output quality as measured by recall, precision and F-measure significantly declined. This suggests students retained the search process but their ability to produce high-quality results decreased over time, calling into question what is being effectively taught and assessed.

This document summarizes a study on using North Carolina's high school end-of-course tests to evaluate teacher quality. It finds that more experienced teachers and those with higher qualifications (such as licensure test scores) tend to produce higher student test scores. Additionally, schools serving more affluent areas are more likely to have teachers with stronger credentials. The study also finds that student ability is not univariate and that students are not systematically assigned to teachers based on their performance in different subjects.Correlation Research (re-do)
This document outlines a study investigating the relationship between student academic achievement in social science and the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the classroom. The study will collect test score and ICT usage data from a sample primary school class and compute the correlation coefficient to determine the strength of the relationship. If a positive correlation greater than 0.5 is found, it may indicate that increasing ICT use could improve student performance in social science. However, the study does not account for other factors that influence academic achievement.

The document discusses the Keystone Exams, which replaced the 11th grade PSSA in Pennsylvania. It notes that the Keystone Exams include Algebra I, English Literature and Biology assessments. All public high school students in Pennsylvania must take the Keystone Exams, and for the class of 2017, students must pass the exams in Algebra I, Literature and Biology to graduate. The document provides information on test preparation resources and guidelines for students taking the exams.
Correlation Research
This document discusses conducting research to determine the correlation between time spent reading English books and student achievement on the English language portion of standardized tests. It proposes collecting reading time data from students over half a year and administering an English test to analyze the relationship. If a positive correlation is found, the document suggests schools may consider designating more mandatory reading time for students, such as an after-school reading lesson. It notes reading is one of several factors that can improve English and does not account for the difficulty level of books students read.

Short and sweet
This document summarizes a research project that aimed to determine if explicitly teaching test-taking skills would improve students' abilities on tests. The researchers taught two test-taking strategies - circling key words and rephrasing test questions - to students in various classes over 3-4 weeks. Pre- and post-tests were administered to measure any effects. While some individual classes saw significant improvements, the overall results across all 256 students were not significant, suggesting the strategies may not have reliably improved test performance. Observations found mixed and limited evidence of students using the strategies. The researchers concluded the study design and data collection needed improvement to better evaluate the strategies' effectiveness.

measuring carbon footprint_richards
The document discusses calculating the carbon footprint of development projects. It outlines that carbon emissions should be counted from construction, building energy use, and transportation related to different land uses. High density residential development produces fewer carbon emissions than low density options. Transportation reductions come from building in ways that encourage walking, biking and transit through density, land use diversity, neighborhood design, proximity to transit and regional destinations. Doubling factors like these Five D's can reduce vehicle miles traveled by up to 16%. The document provides examples of how to model these impacts and estimates the large greenhouse gas reductions possible from reshaping a project like Tysons Corner, VA.

Smart Growth Climate Change and Prosperity
Smarter development patterns that improve accessibility and reduce driving can make money, save costs, and improve quality of life for households, businesses, and governments. This is achieved through improved accessibility, more efficient travel, services, and energy use, as well as inclusive planning and quality design. Investments in public transit and more compact development patterns provide significant returns through increased property values and tax revenues, cost savings for households and governments, and improved health and environmental outcomes.
SSC2011_Stewart Schwartz PPT
The Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor in Arlington, Virginia saw massive redevelopment between the 1970s and today, transforming from a low-density area into a high-density, mixed-use transit corridor centered around 5 Metro stations. Redevelopment resulted in over 4 times as many jobs and over 4 times as much office space, along with a large increase in housing units. The corridor generates half of Arlington County's property tax revenue while comprising only 11% of the land area, funding parks, schools, and other services. Transit usage along the corridor is high, with over 45,000 daily Metro boardings and most residents walking, biking or taking transit to stations rather than driving.
Mobsters
Organized crime in Chicago boomed in the 1920s during Prohibition, as criminal organizations saw an opportunity to profit massively from the illegal alcohol trade. This led to intense rivalries between groups like Al Capone and Bugs Moran, culminating in the bloody 1929 Valentine's Day Massacre that left 7 of Moran's men dead. The mobs used weapons like Tommy guns and shotguns to enforce their control and protect lucrative speakeasies. When Prohibition ended in 1933, the mob activity declined dramatically as their main source of illegal income dried up.

Zaterman Public Housing Then And Now Final
Public housing in the United States has changed significantly over time. Originally conceived as temporary housing for low-income families, today's public housing consists of both traditional housing projects and housing vouchers used to rent private units. While public housing still provides homes for many low-income families, it now focuses more on self-sufficiency and mixed-income communities rather than large isolated housing projects of the past.

EUROCALL 2013: Improving revision success with written feedback using an onli...
The effectiveness of written feedback on writing has been extensively investigated. Although the debate concerning the most effective approach to feedback on writing still continues, giving feedback on student writing can considered an important part in the development of writing skills in a foreign language. Typically, previous research has explored the effectiveness of feedback provided using the traditional pen-and-paper method, that is, adding brief handwritten comments on a student paper, such as underlining or coding of grammatical errors, sometimes accompanied by short explanations. Naturally, text processing software provide similar features that allow commenting student texts.
Non-corrective approaches to feedback, in which the students themselves try to correct the errors in their text based on clues or comments, have shown great promise in improving writing skills. In general, the more detailed the feedback, the more time it requires from the teacher to produce the feedback. A more detailed feedback and concrete examples help students to correct any errors in their texts more reliably. However, for the teacher, writing, typing and updating of the explanations is time consuming and reuse complicated.
A more recent approach to providing feedback on writing is to use a text commenting tool which allows reuse of extended commentary, examples and weblinks to student texts. However, only a few studies have investigated the effectiveness of rich feedback currently allowed by such text annotation/feedback tools.
This paper investigates the success rate of undergraduate and graduate engineering students in revising their own texts after receiving rich written feedback provided by the teacher using an online commenting tool. More specifically, this paper aims to determine:
(1) to what extent students are able to revise their text according to teacher feedback?;
(2) what kind of feedback helps students successfully revise their texts?;
(3) what kind of feedback is difficult for students to revise?;
(4) how the use of such a tool influences teacher workload and the quality of the given feedback?
The data included in this study contains an analysis of several hundred individual teacher feedback comments and the corresponding revisions by students. The data was collected from a set of basic undergraduate engineering writing courses with a main focus on academic and scientific writing style.

Student teacher assessment
Classroom assessment is used to improve both student learning and teaching effectiveness. It involves designing assessments, administering them, and providing feedback. Assessments give teachers insight into what students are learning and how well they are teaching, while helping students analyze their own learning. The data from assessments guides teachers to improve instruction and encourages students to focus on learning course skills and knowledge. Effective assessment leads to necessary changes in teaching to further support student learning.

The document discusses using semantic mapping to help students improve vocabulary and test scores. It presents research from several English and Chemistry classes that tested students' vocabulary knowledge and comfort levels before and after using semantic mapping. The results showed that semantic mapping significantly increased students' vocabulary scores and their feeling of comfort using subject-specific vocabulary, though it did not significantly impact scores in Chemistry. The study suggests semantic mapping is an effective visual study technique for vocabulary development.
Carp powerpoint
The document summarizes research testing the effectiveness of using semantic mapping to teach vocabulary in various high school classes. Tests were given before and after implementing semantic mapping to measure changes in students' vocabulary scores and comfort with vocabulary. The results showed that semantic mapping significantly improved vocabulary scores in English and government classes, and increased students' reported use and understanding of vocabulary words. However, vocabulary was still rarely observed being used independently in class discussions. The study suggests semantic mapping is an effective strategy, but implementation and data collection could be improved in future research.
Carp powerpoint
The document summarizes research testing the effectiveness of using semantic mapping to improve students' vocabulary and SAT scores. Several classes implemented semantic mapping for vocabulary words. Pre- and post-tests assessed vocabulary knowledge and student comfort with words. Scores increased significantly for most classes, indicating semantic mapping improved vocabulary. However, vocabulary was rarely observed in use in classes. Future research should standardize implementation and focus assessment to better evaluate the strategy's effectiveness.
Why a programme view? Why TESTA?
1. The document discusses TESTA (Transforming the Experience of Students Through Assessment), a mixed-methods approach to understanding assessment practices and their impact on student learning.
2. TESTA addresses three common problems: variations in assessment leading to uncertainty about quality, an over-reliance on high-stakes summative assessment over formative assessment, and disconnection between feedback and future work.
3. The data from TESTA highlights four key themes: large variations in assessment patterns between programmes; high levels of summative assessment and low levels of formative assessment; disconnected feedback that does not feed into future work; and student confusion about learning goals and standards due to inconsistent practices.

- 1. Does Criterion help students improve their writing? Hank Delcore Jennifer L. Ivie
- 2. Automatically-Generated Data Students who made two submissions to ETS Criterion had higher average holistic scores than students who only made one submission. Students with lower initial holistic scores were able to raise their scores, with subsequent submissions, to the same level as those whose initial holistic scores were higher. Intervening variables?
- 3. Faculty Scoring Panel Overall, student writing improved in classes that used ETS Criterion. The greatest improvements from first to last submission were made in classes in which the instructors engaged students in substantial discussions of writing and how to use Criterion. Intervening variables?
- 4. Music 187 Control group study across three sections of Music 187 (Jazz and Rock), an IC course. Group 1: no Criterion Group 2: required 2-4 submissions Group 3: unlimited submissions Group 2 has significantly higher instructor-assigned grades than Group 1. Groups 1 and 3 had no significant difference in grades.
- 5. Collegiate Learning Assessment Asignificant difference was found between Criterion users and Criterion non-users on the CLA performance task. No significant differences were found between the two groups on any of the analytic writing task scores.
- 6. Faculty/Student Survey Highlights Students felt that Criterion …helps with writing mechanics. …did not help them improve their writing skills. But, ESL students were more likely than English as First Language students to respond that Criterion helped them improve their writing. And, they ESL students preferred Criterion feedback to instructor feedback. Faculty felt that Criterion …did not reduce their workload. …did not do as much as they had hoped. …made grading simpler. …encouraged students to spend more time improving their writing. … overall improved student writing.
- 7. Faculty Learning Community Faculty commented positively on …the ease and convenience of using ETS Criterion. …the added ability it gave them to focus on course content rather than grammar and mechanics. …the fact that students using Criterion were more engaged with the writing process. Drawbacks included …the inability of the program to recognize technical terms or subject-specific writing conventions. …perceived inaccuracies in holistic scoring. …lack of compatibility with TurnItIn and Blackboard.
- 8. Conclusion Some evidence that Criterion helps students improve writing, likely in combination with good instructor practices. Criterion seems to help most with mechanics. Convergence of survey and FLC data: faculty agree that students who use Criterion are more engaged with the writing process. Next steps…
