Proactive Feedback Strategies in Online (and Offline) TeachingDavid Lynn Painter
Are you frustrated or overwhelmed when trying to balance punitive comments, or justifications for point deductions, with constructive criticism, or specific revision suggestions, in your evaluations of student assignments? Is listing the reasons points were deducted from student work the sole function of an effective teacher? How can instructors best manage their time to develop assignments and provide constructive criticism that fosters student learning and growth? If you find any of these questions compelling, please join our discussion on the struggle to balance objective and subjective criteria to develop positive, mentoring roles with your students.

Abstract
Bitumen is predominantly used to construct pavements for roads, highways, and airports. Due to the viscoelasticity nature of bitumen,
it plays a predominant role in the performance of the pavements where temperature and rate of load application have a great
influence. In India, the specifications for bituminous binders rely on different empirical tests which have almost no significance on
their performance characteristics are reported. In this paper, the physical and rheological properties of bituminous binders commonly
used in India, at high and intermediate field temperatures are reported in terms of their performance characteristics. Considering
several factors that affect the behavior of bituminous binders, the effects of variations in temperature, rate of loading and amount of
loading are considered. The changes in the properties of commonly used grades of (60-70) bitumen both unmodified and modified
with crumb rubber have been reported. The Marshall properties and indirect tensile strength ratio are compared for the specimens
prepared at optimum binder content (OBC) for bituminous concrete (BC) grading-2. Crumb rubber modified bitumen shows higher
Marshall Stability, reduced flow, higher ITS ratio and improved rheological properties in terms of rutting.
Keywords: CRMB – crumb rubber modified bitumen, ITS- Indirect tensile strength, TFOT – Thin Film Oven test, DSRDynamic
shear rheometer MSCR- multiple shear creep recovery.

Like many libraries, the University of Michigan Library for a long time employed no one for the purpose of website usability. To address the gap, a Usability Group was formed. The structure and methodologies of the group have evolved over the last four years, producing an efficient organization with innovative and highly effective techniques. Twenty-eight staff members have contributed to this group. Six different systems have been evaluated, resulting in over 30 reports and hundreds of recommendations.
Although resources are evaluated using a wide range of traditional techniques (formal testing, focus groups, surveys, heuristic evaluations, prototype testing, etc.), the group strongly believes that usability doesn't have to be complicated and time-consuming, favoring more straightforward, "budget" techniques as means to the most interesting and useful results. The group also often employs an iterative approach to testing by repeating and refining tests to evaluate effectiveness of changes and to fine-tune techniques.
This presentation will describe the Usability Group's techniques and findings from our most recent projects to evaluate the library's recently launched website. Specifically, we will describe methodologies, present testing materials and results from "guerilla" testing, group card sorting, and participatory design sessions with undergraduates, graduates and faculty, and staff. Participants will be able to apply these methods in their own libraries.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. ASSESSMENT
Not A Bad Word
Frequent and varied assessment is KEY in
learning. Teachers & students can evaluate
where they need interventions and support.
Formative assessment with immediate feedback
has shown to improve learning and retention.
How can I conduct frequent, effective, and
sound assessment within my already limited
time and without feeling overwhelmed?
CC"BY%NC%ND"2012"by"Catherine"Flippen"
5. DATA & RESEARCH
Easier Than You Think
Just because you grade and assess, does not
mean that you truly KNOW how EACH student is
progressing or what they do/do not know.
Formative assessments are FREQUENT and
SHORT. They give instant feedback to both
the teacher and student to see where student
is struggling.
How can I conduct class-based research that
is will improve my instruction without being
too challenging and time consuming?
