Item The ABCs of Alphabets and Scripts in Academic Library Research(2020-03-06) Lowe, David B.This poster guides library users seeking non-English materials through optimized paths toward their materials through 4 cases based on their answers to two questions: 1) Do you know the exact title you need? 2) Do you speak the language of the materials you need? It provides guidance on transliteration, translation, and resources for conducting non-English research. The 4 cases represent an attempt at a contextually aware approach to meeting users' needs, toward a possible search experience that would be guided by automated tools.Item Abdul the Newsboy(2023-07-13) Agrawal, AnupamThis note describes the working of a general sourcing/procurement problem. Abdul has to buy/source the product before knowing the exact demand. This is a general problem (e.g., fashion industry.) Firms like Zara and Benetton and many others decide on how much they should buy and produce, based on forecasts (probability distributions) of demand.Item Abstract peer review questions and grading rubric(2019-06-10) Hartberg, YashaItem Abstract writing prompt(2019-09-02) Hartberg, YashaItem Abstract Writing Prompt(2020-01-20) Hartberg, YashaItem Abstract writing prompt(2019-05-20) Hartberg, YashaAbstracts are commonplace in the scientific world. As such, being able to write abstracts is an important skill for any biomedical professional. Even if your career path steers you clear of research, you will be called on repeatedly in your career to explain, as succinctly as possible, the context for something that you did, why you did it, how you did it, what happened, and either what you learned from doing it or what you recommend doing next. Writing abstracts will help you develop this important set of communication skills.Item Academic Honesty Quiz(2020-08-11) Stoddard, KatiAcademic integrity or academic honesty is an essential component of educational institutions, especially higher education institutions, which often have significant consequences for violations of institutional academic honesty rules. However, some students may not have a clear and precise understanding of what qualifies as academic dishonesty, even though students are often held accountable to their institution’s academic honesty rules regardless of their understanding of these rules. The Academic Honesty Quiz is a proactive instructional tool designed to alleviate the disconnect between students’ understanding of academic honesty rules and their accountability to these rules. This tool is a scenario-based quiz designed to assist students in recognizing various forms of academic dishonesty with the goal of helping students to identify activities they should avoid to maintain academic integrity and comply with academic honesty rules. The Academic Honesty Quiz is based on the Texas A&M University Aggie Code of Honor, Aggie Core Values, and sanctions for violations of the Aggie Code of Honor. While the scenarios included in the quiz are examples of violations of the Aggie Code of Honor, any names included in the quiz are fabricated and do not represent actual students associated with the violations.Item Aggie Legacy Veterans Project(2021-08-31) Lyle, StaceyTexas A&M University (TAMU-Aggies), a Senior Military College, was established in 1876 in College Station, Texas, and is ranked No. 3 in the “Top 10 Military Schools in America” (TAMU Today, 2012). The ~2,500 member Texas A&M Corps of Cadets continues to provide exemplary leaders for the public and private sectors. The Corps has a rich history of responding to the nation’s call for service and leadership. For example, in the fall of 1942, over 20,000 former cadets served in World War II, of which 14,123 were commissioned officers. Many fallen Aggies who served in WWII and other tours rest in the Veterans Affairs National Cemeteries. To honor those who serve our country, the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets seek a partnership with the National Cemetery Administration (NCA). Working under the research and leadership guidance of faculty in Geography, History, and Engineering and the Corps of Cadets Hollingsworth Center for Ethical Leadership, cadets will assist in the development of a Veteran’s Legacy geographic information system (GIS) that digitally archives and shares veterans’ legacies for research, education, and historical narratives. The Veteran’s Legacy GIS will research: (i) an artificial intelligence Unmanned Aerial System mapping machine learning system to automatically create 3D objects of each headstone in a geodetic coordinate system; (ii) a “VA Legacy Citizen Scientist” Veterans Legacy Field Data Collection Web-Application Tool to collect and share headstone information tied to veteran’s history via augmented reality; (iii) instructional material in the form of a public Veterans Legacy GIS Micro-Certificate used to educate and test that citizen scientist achieve the skills to collect accurate data; and (iv) professional digital video. The video will include student’s research on mapping Houston VA Cemetery, student utilizing the field data collection app, their process to extend memorialization of Aggie Veterans enshrined at the Houston National Cemetery, a demonstration of the public accessing the VA Legacy information via augmented reality, and the development of the Veterans Legacy GIS Micro-Certificate. An Advisory Board of internal and external experts across multiple disciplines will work with the Veteran’s Legacy Research Team to ensure VA Legacy meets high standards. TAMU has partnered with Klein Independent School District, where the Houston National Cemetery is located, to support mapping research, test Veterans Legacy GIS Micro-Certificate modules, and help research the historical history of Aggie Veterans. TAMU cadets will engage in social science research resulting in social media, publications, and videography products for educational outreach. Through this sponsored research, cadets will enhance key marketable skills such as problem-solving, oral and written communication, teamwork collaboration, and professional work ethics. This project will prepare the cadets for a lifetime of success as they become our nation’s future leaders. The Veteran’s Legacy Research Team will deliver several digital media products: (i) Scholarly publications on innovative methods to map and share Veteran biographies cartographically; (ii) Veterans Legacy GIS Micro-Certificate course curriculum in a Learning Management System for the public; (iii) the Veterans Legacy Field Data Collection Web-Application Tool; and (iv) professional videography formatted to meet NCA websites and social media platforms.Item AMA Citation Style(2019-07-01) Hartberg, YashaItem AMA Citation Worksheet(2019-07-01) Hartberg, YashaItem Annotated Reading List for VIBS 310--Biomedical Writing(2019-06-12) Hartberg, YashaItem Assignments, templates, and rubrics for teaching the skills of evidence-based veterinary medicine in veterinary professional programs(2022-05-25) Fajt, Virginia R.; Moberly, Heather K.The documents contained in this collection are assignments, templates, and rubrics used for teaching the skills of evidence-based veterinary medicine in a 4-year veterinary professional program. They are grouped by unit within a semester, starting with the first semester of the first year of the program and ending with assignments used in the last clinical year on two different clinical rotations. The skills we focus on are writing PICO-style clinical questions, searching the biomedical literature for evidence, critically appraising evidence, and applying evidence to the clinical question.Item Attributions in Narrative Writing(2020-04-11) Hartberg, YashaItem Avoiding Wordiness: The Illusion of Authority(2019-10-15) Hartberg, YashaItem Avoiding Wordiness: The Illusion of Authority(2019-07-22) Hartberg, YashaItem Avoiding Wordiness: The Illusion of Authority(2019-10-15) Hartberg, YashaItem Avoiding Wordiness: The Illusion of Authority(2020-03-25) Hartberg, YashaItem Belize Study Abroad(2023-10-02) Strong, JenniferItem Building searching skills early in the veterinary school curriculum to support evidence- based practice(European Association for Health Information and Libraries 2022, 2022-06) Moberly, Heather K.; Fajt, Virginia R.Item Central Limit Theorem, Hypothesis Testing, Polling, and Regression(2020-02-17) Hartberg, Yasha
