From Clay to Bronze
In 2008 the Chapel of St. Thomas Aquinas at the University of St. Thomas was renovated. Included in this renovation was the installation of a new crucifix and new structures around the altar.
The Space Race (1955-1975)
The Cold War saw a competition between the world’s two great powers–the democratic, capitalist United States and the Communist Soviet Union. Both sides would fight to have the best technology in space and who could achieve the ‘firsts’. (04:25)
2.3.3 The matrix team In a matrix team, staff report to different managers for different aspects of their work. Matrix structures are often, but not exclusively, found in projects. Staff will be responsible to the project manager for their work on the project while their functional line manager will be responsible for other aspects of their work such as appraisal, training and career development, and 'routine' tasks. This matrix project structure is represented in Figure 2.

We had the pleasure of interviewing British artist John Myatt. Myatt along with his former partner John Drewe are responsible for what is described by many to be the biggest art con of the 20th Century. The story has caught the imagination of Hollywood, with no less than two movies in the works.

This unit focuses on higher level skills. Skills development is complementary to other learning – it cannot be done in isolation. The higher level skills in this material aim to raise your awareness of the processes of learning and development – other subject-based material must supply the context and motivation for this. Key skills underpin the ability to carry out successfully, and improve on, a wide range of tasks in higher education, employment and wherever there is a continuation of le
Learning online is one of the great advantages of information technology. This unit will help you establish a safe and comfortable working environment to ensure that your study time at the computer screen does not impact on your health. It also looks at the basic skills for online study, such as file management and installing software.
This paper focuses on a discussion on the approach taken in analysing evaluation design for a specific faculty module on enterprise education
Nathaniel Rose spent his early professional life working as a systems programmer, art director and business analyst... before becoming an architect for Gensler, a leading New York practice. To make the transition into business, Rose decided to study for his MBA and was drawn to Oxford because of its internationalism. After completing the MBA programme, Rose returned to New York and has since worked with UBS Financial Services and Morgan Stanley, where he is the Chief of Staff and chief operating
Before coming up to Oxford, Andrew McInerney was International Marketing Manager with Sara Lee in The Netherlands. Andrew decided to study for an MBA because he wanted to move from the fast-moving consumer goods sector into management consultancy. On-campus presentations and networking opportunities with leading consulting firms, mock interviews with sector consultants and contact with alumni in relevant organisations, helped Andrew to make the transition, and after graduating he took up a posit

The objectives of this project were to (a) assess hypertension and diabetes screening data collection practices and guidelines and (b) develop and test standardized screening forms for use at minority community- and faith-based screening events. Project Phase I involved resource assessment and the development of a set of screening forms and guidelines containing a core data set for both hypertension and diabetes. These were then tested during Phase II at predetermined communitybased screening ev
Ayiti: The Cost of Life is a role-playing video game in which the player assumes the roles of family members living in rural Haiti. At the start of the game, the player chooses a primary goal for his/her family: achieve education, make money, stay healthy, or maintain happiness. During the course of the game, the player encounters unexpected events and must make decisions that contribute to or detract from achieving the chosen goal. After students have played the game they will need to reflect u
Child poverty, climate change and organised crime are some of the issues concerning this year’s cohort of Weidenfeld Scholars, who have just completed their first year of study at Oxford University.
This dataset comes from a study of diabetic patients randomly assigned to a two-period crossover design. Patients were given 1 of 2 drug sequences (EN, NE) in each period and blood pressure was recorded. Questions from this study refer to the ability of the drugs to lower blood pressure. A text file version of the data is found in the relation link.
Proof making is one of the key ideas in mathematics. Looking at teachers and students grappling with the same probability problem, we see how two kinds of proof—proof by cases and proof by induction—naturally grow out of the need to justify and convince others.,Englewood, New Jersey—Teachers Workshop Englewood, a town with unsatisfactory student test scores, is implementing a long-term project to improve math achievement. As part of a professional development workshop designed in part to give
Balance Keeper is an educational tool that helps children practice addition, subtraction, logical thinking, and basic algebra. The purpose of the game is to balance the scale by clicking and dragging weights. Complex problems consist of unknown mystery weights. Through deductive reasoning and trial and error techniques, a child can determine these unmarked weights. Balance Keeper implements fifteen skill levels that automatically adjust in difficulty. Mastering all the levels will definitely jum
Children study seasonal change in sunlight in a global game of hide and seek. Students try to find 10 "mystery classes" hiding around the globe. The amount of sunlight is the central clue. Other clues link to each location's history, geography, culture, and more. Through these interrelated investigations, students discover that sunlight drives all living systems and they learn about the dynamic ecosystem that surrounds and connects them. This project reinforces a key concept: Changing sunlight d
This exercise is a field study of the ecology of aquatic insects in a small stream. By using the inquiry technique, students discover how different animals have unique adaptations for being successful in particular habitats, especially at small spatial scales. Students also learn how these specializations establish essential ecological roles for the aquatic insects in stream ecosystems. Thus, students gain an appreciation of how biodiversity is not just a list of species in a particular environm
The current era presents the most energetic and challenging of times for North American study abroad programs, given intensifying concerns with such urgent international issues as globalization, transnational migration, ethnic and religious encounters and collisions, planetary environmental concerns, world health, and the turbulent state of global finance. Students study in what is arguably the world's most cosmopolitan city, a located suited for engaging with such crucial international prioriti
