This paper explores the effects of part-time instructors in the Principles of Marketing course at a comprehensive IIA university in the Mid-South. We find part-time instructors assign grades 0.86 points higher than assigned by full-time instructors. Using a multiple linear regression, in which the response variable is students' grades, the explanatory variable instructor status-i.e., full-time or part-time-is statistically significant at less than a 0.01 level of confidence (p-value = 3.4E-22). Additionally, the explanatory variable grade point average (GPA) is also significant at an alpha level less than 0.01 with a p-value of 1.57E-51. The model yielded an adjusted R2 value of 0.52, indicating that 52 percent of students 'grades are accounted for by the explanatory variables included ...

This article demonstrates the implementation and efficacy of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in an undergraduate entrepreneurship business planning course. Throughout the course, ill-structured problems arise that require independent thinking and ongoing problem solving with students taking responsibility for their own learning. The course incorporates the latest classroom technology and how that technology is utilized to deliver self-directed learning. The PBL methodology is then evaluated in light of anonymous student survey results. The objective is to create a framework for future assessment in evaluating PBL in the business planning course.

You know you're in a different place when the homes have names: Stone Echo, Dover Dam, Scuffle Hill. My favorite: Thistlepunk - though I'm not sure what it means. This is Middleburg, a village of fewer than 1,000 people in Northern Virginia's Loudoun County. It's a historic town whose streets are filled with buildings worth taking in. It's also horse country, though seeing one of the animals is harder than you might think.

Few previous studies comparing online and traditional courses have focused on undergraduate management courses. Our results complement previous analyses finding that, when we control for factors such as class, major, and GPA, students in online courses do as well in objective measures of performance, but not better than students in traditional courses. We also found that in the online sections, females performed at least as well as males. We discuss these results in relation to some changes in online education and the persistent perception by some that online education is somewhat problematic because students need more discipline in online courses.

Now headquartered in a sprawling facility on Industrial Drive in South Hadley, where the magazine operates alongside training classes, agility camps, and a retail store, Percival's venture recorded more than $4 million in revenue last year, and she expects to reach $6 million by 2010. In fact, aided by a robust Internet arm, her retail business, which also includes DVDs, food, and equipment alongside the books and toys, has been growing at between 20% and 30% per year, about the same rate at which the number of trials has been increasing. At its essence, agility is a sort of obstacle course, in which a handler guides a dog through a series of jumps, tunnels, tire jumps, so-called 'weave poles,' and 'contact' obstacles like a seesaw, a dog walk - a narrow plank of wood about four feet ...

[...] novices need not be scared off; Dye has incorporated multiple tee boxes - five placements for each hole - to let golfers choose the degree of difficulty Construction of the course is expected to be completed in late November, said Todd Leavenworth, club manager. To reach that end, Leavenworth has been busy lining up vendors from food and beverage to temporary facilities - the clubhouse won't begin construction until after opening day so a double-wide trailer will be used - to a mobile kitchen and "high-end, black-tie rest rooms.

A Hanukkah celebration is not complete without loved ones -- or latkes. My neighbor Alyce Turner was flipping through her Congregation Beth Shalom Sisterhood cookbook last week, pointing to the latke recipes and chatting about some of her family and food traditions this time of year. Hanukkah begins next Tuesday at sundown. Turner's synagogue, the Congregation Beth Shalom, will serve traditional latkes and jelly doughnuts at a pre-Hanukkah party at 4 p.m. Sunday.
