    Eco 155 Principles Of Macroeconomics

    A common problem faced by incoming and returning students alike, is the task of selecting unfamiliar professors. Obviously, all students hope to select a good professor, but it is often a shot in the dark when selecting classes for the upcoming year. To combat this, I sat in on two different sections of the general education course. The course I chose was ECO 155 Principles of Macroeconomics. One section is taught by Dr. Julie Gallaway, and another section is taught by Dr. Mahua Mitra. My goal was to compare the two different teachers, and ultimately give my opinion on who was the better professor, using criteria such as organization, teaching style, and availability for questions, among others.…

    Inter-Rater Reliability Report

    Variations in raters’ judgments can happen either across raters, known as inter-rater reliability or in the consistency of one single rater, called intra-rater reliability. They have a variety of aspects which can influence the judgment of a scorer, and two raters might give different conclusions about similar performances. Besides the more obvious reasons for controversy, like differences in experience or lack of agreed-upon scoring routines, it has been reported that things like teachers’ attitudes regarding students’ ethnicity, as well as the content, may also influence the rating of students’ work (Davidson, Howell, & Hoekema, 2000).…

    A's for Everyone!

    Alicia Shepard, a college professor, addresses a very touchy subject in her story “A’s for Everyone”. Many of her students often argue that “hard work” should be taken into consideration when the professor is calculating final grades. However, college students should be strictly graded for the work they turn in because it is unfair to other students, it teaches them a sense of self worth, and because it is a good dose of reality.…

    A 'Is For' Absent By Chris Piper

    When college professors evaluate students, should those grades be based on performance only? On the other hand, should part of that evaluation be predicated on the requirement that students have to attend class regularly? This issue of making classroom attendance a significant part of students’ overall grades is what author Chris Piper discusses in his article, “‘A’ Is for ‘Absent.’” Writing from a student’s perspective, a student who himself has been subjected to such attendance policies, Piper asserts that this practice is both unfair to students and ultimately detrimental to their overall learning. He outlines the logic professors use to justify attendance policies, but suggests counterarguments and alternative approaches to grading standards…
