Download or read book Raise Your GPA 1 Full Grade written by Edward Anhalt and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-01-13 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success in studying isn't difficult. But one must first learn the secrets of "how to study." Why is it that every new teacher one inherits along the path to graduating high school has assumed that the teachers from the past grades have taught their students how to study? They may have taught course content, but not the way in which one learns the content. Because of this, students are working in ways that do not maximize their true potential. Raise Your GPA 1 Full Grade helps create an even playing field for all learners. The areas covered in this text are: time management, listening skills/note taking, reading for speed and comprehension, writing with a purpose, taking the fear out of examinations, how to outline, using mnemonics, and how to use resources (library, Internet, dictionary etc.) Raise Your GPA 1 Full Grade calls for no extra homework, and is as easy to use as working your way around the Monopoly board and collecting $200.00. It's nice when someone learns they can succeed!

Download or read book The Analytical Writer written by Adrienne Robins and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1995-09 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Analytical Writing Adrienne Robins explains college writing as a process of discovery, as a series of strategies that any college student can learn to apply. All strategies explained in this text are based on sound theories of teaching writing and on the patterns of successful writers. Writing and thinking should not be separated, and presenting only the steps without the accompanying explanation of how they influence thinking would be of little more help than having no method at all. By using this text the students will see as they plan, draft, and revise how their writing helps clarify their thoughts. This clearly written and engaging textbook is illustrated by real examples of student writing and appropriate cartoons. The second edition was revised and updated based on the large-scale evaluation of the first edition completed by professors and students. The new edition reflects four essential values: recognizing the diversity of writing processes, the necessity of peer and teacher interaction with the writer on drafts, the integration of writing and reading, and the appropriate uses of technology.

Download or read book Information and Intrigue written by Colin B. Burke and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of Herbert Field's quest for a new way of organizing information and how information systems are produced by ideology as well as technology. In Information and Intrigue Colin Burke tells the story of one man's plan to revolutionize the world's science information systems and how science itself became enmeshed with ideology and the institutions of modern liberalism. In the 1890s, the idealistic American Herbert Haviland Field established the Concilium Bibliographicum, a Switzerland-based science information service that sent millions of index cards to American and European scientists. Field's radical new idea was to index major ideas rather than books or documents. In his struggle to create and maintain his system, Field became entangled with nationalistic struggles over the control of science information, the new system of American philanthropy (powered by millionaires), the politics of an emerging American professional science, and in the efforts of another information visionary, Paul Otlet, to create a pre-digital worldwide database for all subjects. World War I shuttered the Concilium, and postwar efforts to revive it failed. Field himself died in the influenza epidemic of 1918. Burke carries the story into the next generation, however, describing the astonishingly varied career of Field's son, Noel, who became a diplomat, an information source for Soviet intelligence (as was his friend Alger Hiss), a secret World War II informant for Allen Dulles, and a prisoner of Stalin. Along the way, Burke touches on a range of topics, including the new entrepreneurial university, Soviet espionage in America, and further efforts to classify knowledge.
Download or read book America s Information Wars written by Colin B. Burke and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book narrates the development of science, sci/tech, and intelligence information systems and technologies in the United States from the beginning of World War II to the second decade of our century. The story ranges from a description of the information systems and machines of the 1940s created at Wild Bill Donovan’s predecessors of the Central Intelligence Agency, to the rise of a huge international science information industry, and to the 1990’s Open Access-Open Culture reformers’ reactions to the commercialization of science information. Necessarily, there is much about the people, cultures, and politics that shaped the methods, systems, machines and protests. The reason for that is simple: The histories of technologies and methods are human histories. Science information’s many lives were shaped by idiosyncrasies and chance, as well as by social, economic, political and technical ‘forces’. The varied motives, personalities and beliefs of unique and extraordinary people fashioned science information’s past. The important players ranged from a gentleman scholar who led the Office of Strategic Services’ information work, to an ill-fated Hollywood movie director, to life-mavericks like the science information legend Eugene Garfield, to international financial wheeler-dealers such as Robert Maxwell, and to youthful ultra-liberal ideologically-driven Silicon Valley internet millionaires. However, although there are no determining laws of information history, social, political, legal and economic factors were important. After 1940, science information’s tools and policies, as well as America’s universities, were being molded by the nation’s wealth, its role in international affairs, the stand-off between left and right politics, and by the intensifying conflict between Soviet and Western interests.
