Comparison of a Traditional Teaching Model to the SCALE-UP Teaching Model in Undergraduate Biology: A Mixed Method Study
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)This project compared a SCALE-UP teaching model to a traditional teaching model. Traditional teaching is now considered a poor motivator for student performance and interests, and the SCALE-UP model was proposed to combat ... -
A Comparison of Artifacts and Activities among Mound Area Contexts at Town Creek, A Mississippian Site in Piedmont North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2012)Mississippian chiefdoms of the southeastern United States have commonly been characterized by the presence of large towns, a dependence upon maize-agriculture, and the presence of large platform mounds. Research regarding ... -
A COMPARISON OF COPING AND PERCEIVED STRESS AMONG STUDENTS BY FIRST GENERATION AND CONTINUING GENERATION STATUS, RACE/ETHNICITY, AND GENDER
(East Carolina University, 2014)While the number of first generation and racial/ethnic minority students enrolled in higher education has increased over the past several decades, the level of stress students are reporting, compared to students in previous ... -
Comparison of Documentation Models Used by Emergency Physicians in a Community Hospital Setting
(East Carolina University, 2015)Physician notes are a unique genre within a larger genre ecology of a hospital's emergency care department. As such, they mediate activities of medical care and may also be appropriated for other uses such as billing and ... -
A Comparison of Lean and Obese Gait Characteristics of Children and Adults During Level Walking
(East Carolina University, 2010)Increased body mass affects gait kinematics and kinetics in adults. It is however unknown if increased body mass produces similar adaptations in children and adults. The duration of obesity in children is shorter than ... -
Comparison of Mental Health between First-Year College Students Residing in Living-Learning Communities and Traditional On-Campus Housing
(East Carolina University, 2013)Mental health concerns such as stress, college adjustment, and symptoms of anxiety and depression increase during college. Living Learning Communities (LLCs) have become more prevalent on college campuses and are an ... -
A COMPARISON OF MOTIVATION OF AN EARLY ALERT SYSTEM IN K-12 AND HIGHER EDUCATION
