Last year, the College began to implement its new life sciences curriculum. The first step was the creation of Life Sciences 1a and 1b as introductory courses into any Life Sciences track. The result was predictable. Life Science 1b, “An Integrated Introduction to the Life Sciences: Genetics, Genomics, and Evolution” received a CUE score on average one point lower than other natural science courses with a quarter of its veterans recommending for people to not take the course...
...Binh orphanage is next to national highway 1A, a busy thoroughfare on the northern outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). But it is fairly quiet once you are within the grounds. The reception area has faded light-blue walls that look like they are about five years overdue for repainting. A pleasant tree-shaded garden is filled with primary-colored playground equipment of the kind you'd see pretty much anywhere in the West - slides, a plastic jungle gym, spring-loaded hobby-horses shaped like ducks and rabbits. The children's dormitories are further to the left...
...truth is that Iwakuni, like all Japanese military facilities, is far more defensive than offensive. While missile-armed FA-18 Hornets launch daily from the American side of the base, Japan's hangars are filled with craft like the MH-53, which sweep for mines, and the US-1A, a giant propeller-powered flying boat that has participated in hundreds of sea rescues...
...truth is that Iwakuni, like all Japanese military facilities, is still far more defensive than offensive. While missile-armed F/A-18 Hornets launch daily from the American side of the base, Japan's hangars are filled with support craft like the MH-53, which sweeps for mines, and the US-1A, a giant propeller-powered flying boat used for sea rescues. The division of labor is obvious at Iwakuni in other ways. The U.S. keeps nearly half of the base to itself. But the two countries are slowly moving toward greater cooperation, though the process hits the occasional political hiccup. Despite...
...final exam is often a function of the discipline as well as the professor’s personal preferences. Humanities and social science courses, however, are more likely than others to require only a final paper rather than an exam. According to Bret J. Benesh, a preceptor for Mathematics 1a, “Introduction to Calculus,” said it would be hard to ask students to write a final paper rather than take an exam in math. “A lot of people [view] math as a series of facts to be learned” and therefore...
