How to search every library catalog in New York State at once
Scenario 1 I would like to know if any books have been written about a topic, or, say, by a specific person.

Scenario 2 I would like to locate a library in the city, state or country, that subscribes to a particular journal, or magazine, or that has a specific title in its holdings. I have an International Standard Book Number (ISBN), and/or… More

Running between two worlds and thinking about helping the unable in the society
Cross country runner Elphas Kimutai is planning a community health center in his hometown of Chuchuniat, Kenya. By Rose Sumer When distance runner and nursing student Elphas Kimutai attains “nitaishinda”—Swahili for a swift running pace—he knows he’s going to win. As captain of NYIT’s cross country team and ECC Preseason Male Runner of the Year, he seldom fails to pace himself on the valleys and hills of a cross country course. Hitting his stride off-trail is another story. “I believe that being a responsible leader is important,” says Kimutai, who came to NYIT on an athletic scholarship from Chuchuniat village… More

Personalize Plagiarism to Prevent its Practice
Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. – Vernon Sanders Law, former major league baseball player (Pittsburgh Pirates) Strong emotions help cement an experience into long-term memory. Not convinced? Think back – where were you when … The first man landed on the moon? A prominent political figure in your country was shot? You first learned of the events of 9/11/2001? You celebrated an important milestone? We can use this phenomenon to help our students learn certain key concepts more deeply. For example, let’s look at how Deborah Zarker Miller, an… More

Five Tips to Reduce Cheating
Clearly articulate your expectations for the class and for EACH INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT. Can students work with others on their homework assignments? Can they use old exams, lab reports, etc. as aids in the course? If they work in teams in lab, can they work together on the write-up? Explicitly link assignments to the student learning outcomes of the course. Students often cheat on assignments that they see as meaningless or“busy-work.” If they understand the point of the assignment, especially how it will help them learn the material, they are more likely to push through it on their own rather than… More
