Computer-Based Instruction/Effect on Reading Achievement
[ send me this paper ]
A 33 page research paper that offers a review of literature addressing this topic. The following study surveys a broad-selection of scholarly literature pertaining to the effect that CBI has on increasing reading achievement. Using Internet resources and database, the researcher located articles describing empirical research studies with CBI and also articles summarizing and discussing CBI in regards to reading. These articles are summarized in an extensive literature review and then summarized and analyzed as to content and the resulting implications.

However, the researcher also discusses literature that disagrees with this assessment and what this suggests as to future ramifications. Paper includes 1 page abstract and a 2 page table of contents.

Copyright Fair Use Model: Education
[ send me this paper ]
Title 17 of the U.S. Code states copyrights are not infringed in the act of fair use in an educational setting. This includes reproduction of audio and written works used solely for the purpose of education. However, there are provisions to use; it is limited. For example, if an educator copies materials for class use, but then uses that copy to write a journal article, the educator has passed into the realm of copyright infringement as one limitation of Title 17 specifies that the use must be non-profit and not have an effect upon the market of the information used. In order to understand fair use policy, internal policies must be established to inform faculty students and staff the specifics of the copyright laws. Team members are encouraged to understand and comply with the following guidelines. 3 references. jvFairUs.rtf

Correlation Study: First Year Of College
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. High school is an integral component in virtually every aspect of adolescence; not only is it instrumental in academic and life paths but it also sets the stage for social, personal and emotional development. As such, high school becomes a comfort zone for many seniors who have spent the previous four years cultivating friendships, learning about themselves and living in a protective bubble. When the time comes for college, the thought of leaving this cocoon - as well as the safety net of family and home life - to embark upon the outside world can be one of the most harrowing growth experiences an adolescent has to face. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
