Book Description

Classroom research has evolved considerably in the past few years. This sourcebook explores how classroom assessment techniques (CATs) are now being used to build student learning skills, and examines current research on how classroom assessment has changed both teaching and learning. It also introduces new uses for CATs--to promote effective student teamwork, help institutions answer the call for more accountability, and guide new teachers in developing their teaching philosophies.

This is the 75th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Teaching and Learning.

Book Description

How can insurance providers boost their image and increase business? Hedy and Les Abromovitz's Insuring Quality takes a hard look at the insurance industry and suggests innovative new ways of improving customer satisfaction, turbo-charging sales and polishing the tarnished image of the industry. The insurance industry has an image problem. From Woody Allen movies to greeting cards, insurance agents are ridiculed as boring, overbearing pests out to make a quick buck at someone's expense. Recent criminal investigations into some of the nation's largest insurance providers have only made the situation worse. And that's bad news for insurance professionals - for more than any other business, the insurance industry is built on trust. This book was written by insurance professionals for insurance professionals - so every example in the book is based on a real-life situation. There's no ivory tower philosophizing or impenetrable jargon; just practical advice from two veterans who have examined the true relationship between quality, ethics, and customer service. As the authors say, "Insuring Quality will help your organization solve real-life problems. It's for the people in the trenches..."

Customer Reviews:

Look out, a humorous, realistic, easy read on insurance.......1998-01-05

At first, I thought this book was for company employees only to find out how to put "quality" into insurance, but I was pleasantly surprised that as an insurance professional myself, I learned a great deal about the importance of quality and ethics in this industry. The authors inject some amusing anecdotes, and make you think in different terms about insurance, and how important customer service is. Read it...you'll learn and laugh at the same time.

Book Description

William Tye draws on his large body of work in the area of railroad deregulation to address specific economic problems associated with deregulation. He elucidates principles that can be applied to any major industry entering the competitive marketplace--particularly telecommunications and other utilities, including gas and electric. Tye has updated and revised his previous articles and structured them into an integrated framework. Each section addresses a major issue and can be read on a stand-alone basis. By providing appropriate economic models and rules for successful transition, this work is designed to encourage a smooth changeover to deregulation. It is important, Tye says, to recognize that the original problems regulation sought to solve do not simply go away, and that new problems can be created by the transition itself. He stresses the need to deal with legacies from the regulated past, such as investments, policies, labor contracts, and sunk investment costs by buyers. He explains why explicit regulatory intervention may be required to correct equity and efficiency imbalances. Sections cover topics such as finance and revenue adequacy, pricing, mergers, and competitive access and will serve as a valuable resource for attorneys, regulatory commission staff, academics, and consultants.

Book Description

From the 1840's to the 20th century, large Western European and U.S. construction firms shaped the international economy by furnishing crucial physical infrastructure. The author attempts to destroy the myth that construction is a localized industry of many small firms in perfect competition, sheltered from world markets. U.S. and European firms that promote world markets were forced to transcend local and national markets and incorporate the Third World into both world markets and capital circuits. This book is valuable reading for international, political, and developmental economists; labor, economic, social, colonial, labor, engineering and material culture historians; organization theorists; and economic geographers.

Surprising Story.......2003-11-19

My wife got all of the Carolina books and asked me to read them. Now, I don't go for all this New Age stuff, and had a hard time understanding some of the Wicca, but I admit it was entertaining to read. This book had a good storyline. I liked the old lady.

High Roads, Indeed!.......2003-11-17

I started reading the Carolina series to bone up on my Spanish, and because I enjoy women's spirituality based books. I was delighted when I read this one and actually found it to be helpful to me, when I suddenly found myself between jobs. They call this fiction, but it is also fact-based. The magic actually works and I now have a job! Speaking of magic, the author, herself weaves a magical storyline. I feel like Carolina and her family are my family! We share the same problems. I only wish I had a spirit guardian like Dona Carolina. What a crazy old gal!This was by far, my favorite in the series. I can't wait for the next book.

Prosper by reading this book.......2002-06-15

I have read all the Dona Carolina books written so far, and am absolutely enchanted by the characters and by the wealth of knowledge the author conveys. These books are fiction, but also nonfiction and talk about Celtic magic, but also magic for Hispanics. I've never read anything like them. This one talks about the nature of true prosperity and gives all sorts of spells. But it is more responsible than most of the junk that's out there. The characters in the fictional narrative are captivating. I highly recommend this book for readers of all ages.

Review of Caminos a la Prosperidad.......2001-10-24

This is the fourth book in a wonderful series about the adventures of a young, female Hispanic professor, who happens to also be a witch and her family and friends. In this volume, the true nature of prosperity and how to achieve it is explored. It seems that all of Carolina's friends and every member of her family is in need of money. Things come to a head when the local Latino mafia burn down Papi's restaurant and Mami suffers a heart attack. By using magick, spells, and rituals, and a large dollop of common sense and changes in attitude, and with some hints from her spirit ancestor, Carolina helps her friends and relatives overcome tremendous odds, and prosper. Very entertaining. Highly recommended.

"There's branding and there's high-tech branding and the differences are enormous. The authors do a great job in isolating the many important principles of branding in an increasingly high-technology world." Al Ries Chairman, Ries & Ries Co-author, The 11 Immutable Laws of Internet Branding "The internet and e-commerce have inspired phenomenal changes in the business world, but at least one thing has remained constant: the importance of building a strong brand." Ed Zander President, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "Building a strong consumer brand has always been a monumental task. But, never more so than today, with the explosion of technology, innovation and communication. Paul Temporal has taken a pragmatic and credible approach to suggesting how this effort can be tackled, through his reiteration of basic branding principles, to his reliving case studies of companies which point the way forward. Along the way, he reminds us that branding is all about building a long-lasting and meaningful relationship with consumers." Aaron Boey Vice-President, Marketing Philips Consumer Electronics, Asia-Pacific & Middle-East "Paul Temporal and KC Lee offer us a book full of thought-provoking views and case studies relevant to Internet-Age companies. Insightful and informative, this book challenges you to think through every element of your online branding and customer experience. It is a useful read for any executive who is in charge of brand strategy development and management." Jay Sibel Vice-President, Communications and High Technology Practice A.T. Kearney "In the hi-tech age, building and sustaining great brands are even more critical than ever. The strength of the brand is the only differentiator in a world of connected and knowledgeable customers." Steve Ballmer President, Microsoft

Customer Reviews:

Starts off great..........2006-04-04

I have just finished reading this book. It thought it started off great. the first chapter had me pumped up and ready to rock! But as I got into the book more, I lost that intensity, mostly due to the very dated content of the book. It focuses on data available in 2001. In my opinion, too much has changed since then to make this a great book. It has historical value and a wider-than-average geographical appeal, but many of the examples are outdated (some of the GREAT companies used as examples, don't even exist anymore). This book needs an update badly.

As bad as my term papers in college.......2003-11-24

I work for a high-tech software company and was hoping to find something to help me with software branding. Unfortunately, this book reads like one of my term papers in college - the ones I used to write the night before the exam. If you need an overview of high-tech branding, don't waste your cash. The book is full of examples from Asian companies in the middle of the dot-com gold rush. For today's environment I would recommend timeless classics like "Crossing the Chasm" (although, granted, there is no brand talk there).

How technology affect Brand??.......2002-02-25

No matter which industries you're competing. Branding is one of the most important to substain your business. Nowadays, products and services become homogenous goods in the eyes of customers. Only branding can differentiate in the pool of keen competition. This book studies and analyzes how hi-tech companies can build their brands, positioning, and strategies.
The most useful part in the book is it can instruct you to build Internet Brand with ample cases illustrated.

This book is a must for those who wanna become the winner by brand building in the industry.

Book Description

A critic and writer on dance for well over twenty years, Barbara Newman has gone in search of teachers and coaches, directors, choreographers and stagers - former dancers who had turned the focus of their own experience on others - to explain the state of ballet today. Among leaders of the dance world the author interviewed were Suki Schorer, Helgi Tomasson, Mark Morris, Violette Verdy and 14 other artists whose work she knew and respected, most of them active outside of New York and London. Newman is not interested in dance as an aesthetic abstraction, and the people who answered her questions were not speaking theoretically. On the contrary, her speculation and their responses bring an elusive subject down to earth, illuminating a process that reaches back in history and forward to today, though its dreams are of a world no one can imagine.

Customer Reviews:

A magnificent book!.......2005-10-09

What a magnificent book! Dance critic Barbara Newman's GRACE UNDER PRESSURE is not just for serious dance afficionados, though it will be deeply meaningful to the serious student of dance; with its engaging writing style and its emphasis on "grace under pressure," on the lives and techniques of great dancers who became great dance teachers, this book will draw in almost any reader who picks it up. The opening of the book, with its description of discovering both the scrumptious pies at a small town diner, and the sadness of a small-town dance school that has closed down, sets the mood well. This book honors dance teachers everywhere, while it gives voice to the teaching experience and philosophy of some of the greatest. The photographs are well chosen, and a treasure in themselves.
This book deserves a wide readership, and will amply reward those who find their way to it. It reflects the author's depth of knowledge of dance, her perceptiveness and clarity in the interview process, and her accessible, engaging and elegant writing style. Highly recommended!

For anyone contemplating a life in ballet.......2004-03-07

In Grace Under Pressure: Passing Dance Through Time, ballet expert Barbara Newman (Dance Critic of "Country Life" magazine and a journalist contributor to "Dancing Times"), has compiled remarkably informative interviews with eighteen contemporary illuminaries of the world of dance. This impressive collection of leading dancers and renowned dance instructors ranging from Suki Schorer (School of American Ballet) and Marc Du Bouays (Paris Opera Ballet School) to Yuri Fareyev, Margaret Mercier, and Richard Thomas. Enthusiastically recommended reading for anyone contemplating a life in ballet, Grace Under Pressure offers the reader a diverse selection of insights into the dedicated life and working world of the contemporary ballet as the aspirants experience the hard work and intense discipline for learning and practicing this demanding art.

Book Description

How do you hire-and keep-the best software engineers in the business? What real-world practices can really motivate a team to produce excellent results? From startups to major corporations, virtually every commercial software company struggles with building teams and shipping great software on time. Now industry expert Ed Sullivan shares the hard-won lessons and best practices from his 17-year career in software development. In UNDER PRESSURE AND ON TIME, Sullivan describes a proven model for creating, directing, and growing a world-class development team. Discussion includes recruiting, interviewing, company culture, scheduling, release engineering, tools, key processes, beta management, project status, project closure, and other critical topics for which-until now-frustratingly little information has been published. But UNDER PRESSURE AND ON TIME digs one level deeper than other project management books, delivering the fire-tested practices and essential how-to's that help you lead software teams to greatness.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent advice for the entire development organization.......2002-10-31

This book details common sense approaches to different aspects of software development - from defining requirements to development to software testing - that are too often overlooked or undervalued in many software shops. I am a developer, but the book contains a wealth of practical tips and techniques for project managers, developers, QA team members, and functional managers. I highly recommend this book to anyone involved in software development that is looking for ways to improve the quality of the software they deliver. I never write reviews, but for me this book ranks up there with Steve McConnell's Code Complete as one of those books that I am constantly referring to in an ongoing effort to improve my ability to develop quality software.

Great insight into a company that does it right........2002-01-25

This was a great book outlining many of the things a company did to succeed while under pressure. I enjoyed the "Back at Work" sidebars, annecdotes about how they applied the techniques in this book.

Under Pressure and On Time.......2002-01-07

I received Under Pressure and On Time as a gift
and read through it in a weekend. I found it
funny and full of practical solutions for my own

The chapter on "scheduling" addressed most all of
my particular challenges with terrific ideas.
I plan to keep a copy and pass along a copy.

Decent Book at a low price. Common Sense in Practice.......2002-01-06

Ed Sullivan's summary of the practices that work at NuMega are a must read for any software development organization. Sure, a lot of the comments are just common sense, but from my experiences, they are rarely practiced. The project management section is trivial, obvious and better covered in other references. The details of the steps and the overall process that NuMega has successfully used are the valuable part of the text. Things like insisting on daily builds, test automation, and parallel development are the little gems that can keep you on a schedule.

A lot of people and books talk about this stuff, but few organization, (in my experience) manage to actually follow these methods. I think I would have liked working for Ed at NuMega.

Ego trip..........2001-12-19

Wow... what a great read... that is, it's a great read if you want to read the same sentiment over and over: Ed Sullivan is a very smart guy, and all the people at NuMega (now Compuware corp.) are geniuses. If you take a look at their current product offerings you might decide that Ed's "philosphy" _might_ not be the best way to go.

Book Description

Here is a comprehensive account of the U.S. constitution--including its evolution and its impact on shaping American government and political representation. In eight fact-filled chapters, the authors carefully explore the U.S. Constitution's role. Chapter 1 looks at various conflicts which occurred during its ratification in 1787. The next chapter examines both the initial and subsequent impacts of liberalism and capitalism on the Constitution. The following chapters discuss the growth of federal power and the role of the courts in interpreting the Constitution. Chapter five divides Constitutional amendments into those which expand individual liberties versus those which alter the structure of government, places them in historical perspective, and traces amendments through the process of passage. The following chapters analyze the geographic basis for representation established in the Constitutional change and suggests some nontraditional changes.

Description:
Cadets' planning and judgements were experimentally examined in four simulated rescue operations during military ranger training. We examined the effects of sleep deprivation (SD), affect, time pressure, and need for cognition (NFC) on cadets' planning of a rescue operation, and their self-judgements of security, probability of success, and quality of their plans. Rescue experts judged the cadets' plans with respect to the same three dimensions. In addition, time on task and number of procedural errors were recorded. The results suggest that NFC is related to better performance among sleep-deprived individuals, that procedural knowledge is fairly resilient to SD and time pressure, and that self-judgements seem more fine-graded than expert judgements.

Description:
In prior reports (J.R. Marsden, R. Pakath, K. Wibowo, Decision making under time pressure with different information sources and performance-based financial incentives: Part 1, Decision Support Systems, 34 (2002) 75-97, J.R. Marsden, R. Pakath, K. Wibowo, Decision making under time pressure with different information sources and performance-based financial incentives: Part 2, Decision Support Systems, 34 (2002) 99-124), we describe the design and implementation of a software platform and a laboratory experiment aimed at a preliminary investigation of the efficacy of an alternative communication language for a time-pressured, incentive-driven decision-making setting. Our experimental findings suggest that, despite its relative novelty, the alternative language is at least as effective as the more traditional communication modes of written and spoken English in the specific setting examined, while succinctly conveying what must be conveyed. That work embodies three central underlying constructs-information communication mode, communication speed, and complexity level. The analysis in (J.R. Marsden, R. Pakath, K. Wibowo, Decision making under time pressure with different information sources and performance-based financial incentives: Part 2, Decision Support Systems, 34 (2002) 99-124) focuses solely on mode. In this concluding portion of the research, we analyze the two remaining constructs-speed and complexity level. Taken together with that in (J.R. Marsden, R. Pakath, K. Wibowo, Decision making under time pressure with different information sources and performance-based financial incentives: Part 2, Decision Support Systems, 34 (2002) 99-124), our analysis enables a fuller understanding of the interplay between communication mode, speed, and complexity. We note two particular findings of our research: (1) whereas real-world systems are often designed based on prescriptive tradition, including ''best practice'' criteria widely disseminated and adopted by practitioners without demonstrated benefits to users, in our study, we found that performance at any level of a particular construct was typically sensitive to the levels set for the remaining two attributes, and (2) despite the fact that many experimental studies (e.g., (D.M. Miranda, R. P. Bostrom, The impact of group support systems on group conflict and conflict management, Journal of Management Information Systems, 10 (3), (1993), 63-95, H. Nysveen, P.E. Pedersen, An exploratory study of customers' perception of company web sites offering various interactive applications: moderating effects of customers' Internet experience, Decision Support Systems, 37 (1) (2004), 137-150)) continue to emphasize subject perception over more objective performance measures, in our study, we found that subject preexperimental perceptions did not always coincide with actual experimental outcomes. Our work, like most controlled experimental analyses, is subject to caveats related to limited sample size and specific orderings examined.
