In fact "it will help us develop more effective instructional materials for improving reading, writing and other communication abilities. Furthermore, according to Hearst (2000) using computers to increase our understanding of the textual features and cognitive skills involved in the creation and in the comprehension of written texts, will provide a number of benefits to the educational community. A system for automated assessment would at least be consistent in the way it scores essays, and enormous cost and time savings could be achieved if the system can be shown to grade essays within the range of those awarded by human assessor. "So, if we want to free up that 30% (worth 3 billion UK Pounds/year to the taxpayer by the way) then we must find an effective way, that teacher will trust, to mark essays and short text responses." This issue may be faced through the adoption of automated assessment tools for essays. According to Mason (2002), about 30% of teachers' time in Great Britain is devoted to marking. Furthermore essay grading is a time consuming activity. Many researchers claim that the subjective nature of essay assessment leads to variation in grades awarded by different human assessors, which is perceived by students as a great source of unfairness. One of the difficulties of grading essays is the subjectivity, or at least the perceived subjectivity, of the grading process. It is in the measurement of such outcomes, corresponding to the higher levels of the Bloom's (1956) taxonomy (namely evaluation and synthesis) that the essay question serves its most useful purpose. Learning outcomes implying the ability to recall, organize and integrate ideas, the ability to express oneself in writing and the ability to supply merely than identify interpretation and application of data, require less structuring of response than that imposed by objective test items (Gronlund, 1985). Most researchers in this field agree on the thesis that some aspects of complex achievement are difficult to measure using objective-type questions. multiple choice, multiple answer, short answer, selection/association, hot spot and visual identification (Valenti et al., 2000). Most of those tools are based on the use of the so-called objective-type questions: i.e. According to our findings (Valenti, Cucchiarelli, & Panti., 2002) more than forty commercial CbAS are currently available on the market. The interest in the development and in use of Computer-based Assessment Systems (CbAS) has grown exponentially in the last few years, due both to the increase of the number of students attending universities and to the possibilities provided by e-learning approaches to asynchronous and ubiquitous education. Abstract: Introduction Assessment is considered to play a central role in the educational process.

I planted these to grow some ground cover after I dug out the entire front yard of weeds. The wooly is the most hardy so far from what I can tell.

His next goal will be Broad Peak.When Pérez was four years old her father took her to a 14,000-foot volcano near their home at Quito, Ecuador, which inspired her to become a mountain climber. Purja has now climbed ten 8000ers in just over three months (for the record, apparently all with the use of supplementary oxygen). According to initial reports still to be confirmed, it appears that the recent jet stream swept away the dangerous snow around the Bottleneck, and that ropes were fixed all the way to the summit.Ĭurrently the teams are descending and are expected in Base Camp for more details. Together with Lakpadendi Sherpa, Gesman Tamang, Changba Sherpa and Lakpa Temba Sherpa he rapidly reached Camp 4 at 7950m, while yesterday at 22.20 the group made its summit bid, reaching the top of K2 at 7:50 am this morning. Perfectly acclimatised, this group had teamed up with 35-year-old Nirmal Purja, the Nepalese mountaineer and former Gurkha who, with the help of supplementary oxygen, is attempting to climb all 14 eightthousanders in just 7 months.Īfter having arrived at Base Camp just two days ago, Purja immediately met up with Ballinger and asked for a first shot at the Bottleneck section that had thwarted previous expeditions. Notes According to Barbara Goodson, Rita's voice actor, she tried out for the part of Rita because she thought 'well, I'm doing the voice. These three summited too, probably with supplementary oxygen.

Just when the pre-monsoon season on K2 seemed lost, when the vast majority of teams operating on the mountain had abandoned their attempts due to the extremely dangerous snow conditions above the Bottleneck, the news comes in that some teams have managed to summit the Savage Mountain after all.Ĩ611 meters tall, the top of the second highest mountain in the world was reached without the use of supplemental oxygen by America’s Adrian Ballinger and Ecuador’s Carla Perez who climbed the Cesen route with a support group comprised of Esteban Mena, Palden Namgye and Pemba Gelje Sherpa.

The wedding took place two days after the death of Duane Chapman’s 23-year-old daughter, Barbara Katy Chapman, who died in a car accident near her home in Fairbanks, Alaska. “I’ve already been cuffed and shackled by Beth anyway,” he told the Associated Press at the time. In 2006, she and Duane Chapman, the self-proclaimed world’s best bounty hunter, married during a sunset ceremony at a Big Island resort after being together for 16 years. Doctors decided to put her in a medically induced coma in a Honolulu hospital to spare her pain while treating her, Wood-Sword said.īorn Alice Elizabeth Smith in Denver, Chapman had lived in Honolulu since 1989. She regained consciousness when emergency workers arrived at her Honolulu home and gave her oxygen. On Friday, Chapman had difficulty breathing and passed out momentarily, Wood-Sword said. “Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. “This is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain,” Duane Chapman posted on Twitter early Wednesday.

Talty initially started writing what would become Night of the Living Rez when he was 25, working on standalone nonfiction stories channeling his own life and experiences, particularly his relationships with his friends and family. David is a patient, mellow character, saying a lot by subtly saying very little at all in the first-person stories, and who adopts a fly-on-the-wall utility as he bears witness to the trauma, tragedy, laughter and everyday happenstances in his community. The short stories in the collection are filtered through David’s perspective, from when he is a boy playing with action-figures to a young man living in the nearby city off the rez with his white girlfriend in an apartment. Night of the Living Rez is Talty’s debut of fiction, following the lives of people in the Penobscot nation, a federally-recognized tribe of more than 2000 members in Maine, and whose traditional land stretches to Quebec and eastern Canada. It wasn’t until later that I was like, okay, how do I make this into a piece of fiction?” And when I went home that day, I wrote everything from the beginning to when she had the seizure. And when I was there this one time, she had a seizure and it was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen. “I would go and visit her, and she was always asking for cigarettes, so I’d bring her cigarettes. “My mom suffered from depression her whole life, and would go to crisis stabilization units to get better,” Talty, a 31-year-old writer based in Maine, shared to the Observer, describing the real-world event that inspired the story.
