Excerpt: ... Return to Table of Contents In order to meet the competencies for 1.1.1, I have included my undergraduate and graduate transcripts from Truman State University, my Praxis scores, and my GRE scores. These artifacts demonstrate my understanding and completion of general studies courses and show my experiences in the liberal arts and sciences. My transcripts show the liberal arts coursework I completed from the fall of 1997 through the fall of 2000. Having a liberal arts background has helped me recognize the interrelatedness of the different subject areas of the arts, communications, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, sciences, and the social sciences. My transcripts also show my graduate coursework from the MAE program. My MAE classes have helped me identify ways of using my undergraduate knowledge to enhance my ability to teach elementary students. After learning theories of application and having field experiences working with children in classroom settings, I was able to better meet students n ...

Excerpt: ... Return to Table of Contents In order to fulfill the competency for quality indicator 1.2.9, I have included my reflective case study that I completed as a graduation requirement for the Master of Arts in Elementary Education program at Truman State University. This reflective case study investigated the effects of classical background music on fourth-graders' silent reading comprehension. Students were each given the same stories to read, and during three of the six reading sessions, music was played. During the other three sessions, music was not played. After reading the stories, students completed a story map in which they identified major story elements, including setting, main characters, problem, and resolution. The story maps that were completed during times when music was played were compared to those completed when music was not played. The results of the raw data indicated that there was an increase in scores on the story maps for reading comprehension during the times in which music was played. I h ...

Excerpt: ... noc.system Truman State University, Missouri Alexander Horn, main developer Diane Tobin Johnson, faculty member January, 2005 LOR Application We began this project with the assumption that improved student access and use of learning objects would enhance student learning. Dr. Johnson is interested in taking advantage of technology in form of a Learning Object Repository in her upper level communication classes. She believes, for example, that immersion in case studies will help her students engage higherorder thinking skills and thereby learn more effectively. For more information about pedagogic strategy, see the description of the pilot project in Appendix A: Pedagogical Description of Comm 353. A learning object repository (LOR) can be simplistically conceptualized as a electronic storage space for objects used in teaching, a grownup and more accessible version of a multimedia library. The initial challenge posed by the LOR is the selection/creation of the objects. As the number of objects and the number ...

Excerpt: ... ons of known concentration, it is possible to prepare a calibration curve for the analyte response. The limitations of the single-beam instrument become apparent when an absorption spectrum over a wavelength range is required. The response of the phototube, the emissivity of the light source, and the intensity of the light diffracted by the grating are all a function of wavelength. Accordingly, in order to obtain the absorption spectrum of a compound, the instrument must be recalibrated each time the wavelength setting is changed. Truman State University CHEM 222 Lab Manual Revised 01/04/08 HANDLING OF CUVETTES The handling of the cuvettes is extremely important. Often two cuvettes are used simultaneously, one for the "blank" solution and one for the samples to be measured. Yet any variation in the cuvette (such as a change in the cuvette width or curvature of the glass, stains, smudges, or scratches) will cause varying results. Thus, it is essential to follow several rules in dealing with cuvettes: 1. Do ...

Excerpt: ... ge distance between molecules in the gas phase, it is possible to observe the quantized rotational and vibrational transitions for the analyte molecule. In the condensed phase, interactions between molecules and intermolecular collisions cause a broadening of these bands and produce broad bandshapes. In the gas-phase, these transitions are manifest as a grouping of three sets of peaks, termed the P, Q, and R bands, as shown in the water vapor spectrum below. The number and spacing of these peaks depends on the several parameters, including bond strength and the identity of species on opposite ends of the Truman State University CHEM 322 Lab Manual Revised 1/31/2003 bond. Typically, diatomic molecules exhibit the simplest gas-phase spectra and often do not produce Q-bands.

Excerpt: ... helium or nitrogen) sweeps the sample into a thermally-controlled column (see diagram). In the case of gas-liquid chromatography, the column is usually packed with solid particles that are coated with a non-volatile liquid, referred to as the stationary phase. As the sample mixture moves through the column, sample components that interact strongly with the stationary phase spend more time in the stationary phase vs. the moving gas phase and thus require more time to move through the column. For example, a non-polar molecule such as hexane would interact Truman State University CHEM 222 Lab Manual Revised 01/04/08 strongly with a non-polar stationary phase and would have a large retention time. Retention time is defined as the time from injection of the sample to the time a specific sample component is detected and is given the symbol tr. While polarity is usually the major factor governing separation, the boiling points of components of the sample also play a role in determining retention time. Components ...

Interdisciplinarity

Excerpt: ... Interdisciplinarity: An Introductioni Michael Seipel, Ph.D., Truman State University, Kirksville, Missouri This article addresses the concept of interdisciplinarity and the role of interdisciplinary studies in Truman State University's Liberal Studies Program (LSP). It is intended primarily for students in Junior-level Interdisciplinary Writing Enhanced Seminars (JINS). In the article I offer a definition of interdisciplinary analysis and examine its pivotal role in a liberal arts and sciences curriculum; provide a brief history of interdisciplinary study as a part of the curriculum at Truman, focusing on the JINS course and its role in the LSP; and give students some suggestions on how to get started with interdisciplinary analysis and writing. Each of the inset boxes found throughout the article summarizes a highly successful interdisciplinary analysis carried out by a Truman student, chosen from the 2000 LAS Portfolio submissions. Together, they demonstrate a variety of ways in which interdisciplinary anal ...

Excerpt: ... . This should open the program with a blank notebook. 2. Description of the cells The core of a spreadsheet is a two-dimensional array of cells. Each of these cells has a label based upon the row and column in which it lies. With Excel the rows are labeled numerically, from 1 to 16384, and the columns alphabetically, A to IV. With this system the upper left-hand cell is labeled Al. Likewise the cell five columns to the right has the label Fl and the cell five rows down from that is labeled F6. One of the reasons why spreadsheets are so flexible is that you can use the labels to represent the contents of the cell. For example, enter the number 5 in cell Al and the number 2 in cell B1. To move from one cell to another you may either use the cursor keys (arrows) or position the mouse pointer on the cell and click the left mouse button. This is called selecting a cell.

Truman State University CHEM 222 Lab Manual Revised 12/14/04 While monitoring the pH of a solution using a glass electrode is fairly straightforward, determination of the relative concentrations of the two forms of the indicator requires a little more effort. The approach used in this experiment involves taking advantage of the fact that the acidic (HIn) and basic (In-) forms of the indicator absorb more strongly at different wavelengths. Consider a generic indicator (HIn). At low pH the indicator is completely in the HIn form and the absorbance which is due to HIn is at a maximum (Figure 1A). Likewise, at high pH the indicator is completely in the In- form and the absorbance which is due to In- is at a maximum (Figure 1B). At intermediate pH, the solution contains appreciable concentrations of both HIn and In-, and exhibits an absorbance spectrum containing contributions form both forms. As pH changes, the relative concentrations of each form will change in accorda ...
