The document discusses several key aspects of World War 1 from 1914 to 1917. It describes how the war became a total war that mobilized entire societies, with new industrialized weapons and governments directing economies and civilians towards the war effort. It outlines the Russian Revolution in 1917 caused by weak leadership under Nicholas II, the ineffectual Provisional Government, and Lenin seizing power for the Bolsheviks leading to civil war.

The document summarizes results from a survey of faculty, international students, and non-international students about their experiences with and perceptions of plagiarism. Some key findings:
- International students were more likely to have frequently memorized texts for class and to view memorization similarly to memorizing multiplication tables.
- Most international students were aware of plagiarism before coming to the U.S. but many admitted to acts like copying ideas or rephrasing information without citation.
- Faculty reported plagiarism as a frequent issue, with nearly two-thirds having cases each term.
- There were differences in what each group viewed as examples of plagiarism, and international students saw many acts
This presentation discusses effective strategies for regional leaders to promote membership in their associations on a volunteer basis. It emphasizes that personal stories about the benefits of membership, such as networking opportunities, are more persuasive than features or sales pitches. Regional leaders should share how membership added value for them personally in order to help others become more aware of the value proposition. The goal is to grow membership through word-of-mouth recommendations based on members' real experiences.
The document discusses several scenarios for using new media for interpretation at nature sites. It describes using docent-led birding hikes with QR codes, slideshows on ºÝºÝߣshare and Animoto, increasing visitation and volunteer base through social media, podcasting on Audioboo and Audacity, live streaming on UStream and LiveStream, and mapping locations on Google Earth and Maps. It emphasizes focusing on the task rather than the specific tools, and how new media can help nature sites adapt to changing times.

This document outlines the requirements for a "Close up on Film" course assignment. Students will be asked to closely analyze selected sequences from a class-watched film.

It defines project based learning as an instructional approach that uses driving questions to motivate students to conduct research, collaborate, and produce creative work over an extended period of time. The document provides examples of projects done by students, such as creating a film guide for Edward Scissorhands and a public service announcement. It also outlines the discover, create, share model used in project based learning, with examples of tools and resources used in each stage, like using iBooks and online texts for discovery, iMovie and GarageBand for creation, and blogs and Twitter for sharing. The goal is to encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity through project based learning.

- The document reports on a survey of over 1,900 college faculty about their use of social media both personally and professionally.
- It finds that over three-quarters of faculty have visited social media sites in the past month, with Facebook and YouTube being the most commonly used.
- While over 90% of faculty engage with social media for work, only around 80% use it for teaching purposes in their courses, such as assigning content for students to view.
This document provides an overview of state governments in the United States. It discusses state constitutions, which follow the same principles as the federal constitution, but some have become very long due to amendments proposed by special interests. State legislatures are typically bicameral like Congress and write state laws. Governors serve as the executive and have powers like appointing judges, writing budgets, and pardoning criminals. State court systems have various levels like juvenile courts, appellate courts, and a supreme court that handle both criminal cases involving violations of public law and civil cases between private parties.

The Cold War cost the United States and Soviet Union trillions of dollars over several decades. Estimates put total US spending at $13.1 trillion and total Soviet spending around $41.3 trillion in modern dollars. Both nations devoted significant portions of their GDPs to military spending and technology during this era of geopolitical tensions, an expensive strategic competition that shaped global events through the latter half of the 20th century.
