In The Know: Are Tests Biased Against Students Who Don’t Give A Shit?

A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words

So for the final project in this class, I’ve decided to attempt to draw a picture (I saw attempt, because I am def not an artists). I think if I can pull it off, I am going to draw a picture of a French classroom with a tv that says something about the US budget cuts, and then have the teacher saying something along the lines of “Silly American’s paying for the college” while showing how not paying for college in France isn’t right either, cause the students will be not paying attention. Going to be a bit detailed, but as long as I can get the basic drawing down, it should be good.

Mixtape for Project

I came up with the idea of listing a bunch of songs that I feel relate to what my paper says. I’m also going to pick out versus from each song that I feel represent education, budget cuts and college students in general.

This is what I have so far:

Revolution, La Vi Boheme, Another Brick in the Wall, Stay True to Your School, All Falls Down, Fight for Your Right, School’s Out, and Schools are Prison.

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know!

What to do for the Presentation

Seeing as my conference paper was about problems with the pension and retirement systems, the only thing that comes to mind is doing a power point. Question is, how would I go about doing a power point to fit my viewers. I don’t know if I would take parts from my paper into the power point and talk about the issue or what. Hopefully I will get more answers today, because that is all I can think would work well with my conference paper.

New Project

I was thinking about the new project and I believe that since I wrote a time line the most logical way to present my information is in an actual time line. So I bought some poster board and I plan on making a time line to show the budget cuts throughout the years.

As my favorite author George R.R. Martin likes to say, I’ve got another monkey off my back. (He wrote Game of Thrones, which just premiered on HBO if anyone cares)

After doing this research on academic tenure reform, its hard to look at it or teachers unions in the same black and white way the media portrays them. Tenure is a good idea gone bad (courtesy of some rather bone-headed Supreme-court legislation in the 70′s) and teachers unions are a reluctant bad guy at best, defending an altered version of the policy they’d always upheld.

Hopefully, these statewide reforms for tenure will go off well. Other than that, very glad to have it done.

pamphlets

So for my “confrence” paper I’m making pamphlets for various countries, and instead having travel information, I’m having information about their higher education, but i give it a conversational feel to it. My language is very relaxed, but I think the language and the style makes it really easy to read and fun to read.
