The document analyzes how changing social structures in late 19th century France influenced the patronage of Impressionist art. New patronage groups emerged, like third generation European Jews who developed a stronger group identity during the Dreyfus Affair, and Americans seeking social aspirations beyond emulating an aristocracy. Tables and graphs show data on the distribution of patrons and transactions involving Impressionist paintings sold by Durand-Ruel, the major art dealer, between 1890-1912. The data finds that French patrons made up the largest group at 36%, while Jewish patrons increased dramatically to 25% of patrons and 26% of transactions.
1) Beethoven fell into a deep depression due to deafness, the death of his benefactor, and feelings of loneliness.
2) He was inspired to compose Moonlight Sonata after a conversation with a blind woman who said she would give anything to see the moonlight.
3) The piece reflects on his sorrow and questions why bad things happen, as represented by the repeating notes in the main theme.
This document provides information about the estimated costs of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It summarizes that some estimates put the total costs at $3.3 trillion, which would be one-fifth of the total national debt at the time. The costs included damage to buildings at the World Trade Center site, loss of lives and injuries, clean up costs, and damage to other infrastructure in the area. Links are provided to New York Times articles with more details on the cost estimates. The document also includes links to the Social Explorer website for sociological data and visualization.

This document discusses the use of ePortfolios to help students collect, organize, and reflect on their work. It describes how ePortfolios can be structured with tabs and used to map student work to program competencies. Faculty developed learning objectives and rubrics to scaffold assignments in research methods and help students build skills in critical thinking, communication, and research. Student assignments were placed in ePortfolios to facilitate sharing and self-evaluation of their competency development.

This document provides information on estimating the total costs resulting from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It references an article that estimates the total costs at $3.3 trillion, including costs such as damage to the World Trade Center buildings, loss of life, injury, clean up costs, and effects on the transportation, technology and utility infrastructure. It also notes this cost is approximately one-fifth of the total national debt at that time. A number of websites on social data and Occupy movement research are also listed.
ESL and Learning Communities at Kingsborough Community CollegeBarbara Walters
This document discusses ESL and learning communities at Kingsborough Community College. It provides background on the diversity of the student population and describes the evolution of programs to support ESL students over time, including the initial ESL intensive model, opening doors learning communities, and emphasis on reflective practices. Assessment data is presented showing benefits of learning communities such as higher GPAs, pass rates, and retention compared to students not in learning communities. The qualitative findings highlight benefits students experienced like relationships with faculty and making interdisciplinary connections, as well as some drawbacks.
The document discusses the use of ePortfolios in CUNY Online to showcase student work and assess competencies. It outlines:
1) A pilot program using Blackboard and Digication ePortfolios in various courses to evaluate research methods and English assignments.
2) The development of an overall matrix mapping six basic competencies to various courses to provide scaffolding for students.
3) A second pilot in Fall 2009 involving five courses and 110 students using Digication ePortfolios, with faculty given wide latitude in implementation. Assessment of student and faculty participation was conducted.
This document discusses the use of Web 2.0 tools like e-portfolios, blogs, wikis, and discussion forums to facilitate shared knowledge, reflection, and metacognition among students in the CUNY Online Baccalaureate program. It provides examples of how these tools encourage students to take ownership of their learning and thoughtfully navigate their progress toward achieving program learning goals. It also describes how assessments and assignments are scaffolded to build competencies needed for capstone projects.
The document summarizes research from the book "The Politics of Aesthetic Judgment" which examines how Impressionism was viewed and patronized in late 19th century France. It analyzes how new patron groups like third generation European Jews and Americans influenced the market for art during the Dreyfus Affair and as American social aspirations changed. Tables and charts show data on art purchases and patrons over time.
