In this presentation, I share strategies for better managing this information, making it easier to find what you need when you need it, and to put that information to creative use.Item Discussion Guide for Lila and the Lost Robot(2024-02-18) Campbell, Heidi AThis guide was designed for parents and teachers to help them discuss themes about AI technology and ethics raised by the book "Lila and the Lost Robot," written by Heidi A Campbell.Item Surface and Subtext: Literature, Research, Writing (2nd Edition)(2024-01-09) Carly-Miles, Claire; LeMire, Sarah; Anders, Kathy Christie; Hagstrom-Schmidt, Nicole; Cooper, R.

Some of these have made complete sense and you can see how you can incorporate them into your life and leadership behavior; others might not work with your leadership style/situation. As you have been offered a buffet of leadership this semester, it is ultimately up to you to decide how to apply this to your leadership journey. This activity challenges students to identify a leadership theory they "like" and how they will use it moving forward in their leadership development. It also challenges students to identify a theory they do not "like" and explain why they believe it is not useful and how to modify it to work in their context.Item Values Based Leadership Activity(2023-09-20) Strong, JenniferThis activity is to aid students in identifying characteristics of leaders based on organizational values and then matching the candidates based on said values.Item Surface and Subtext: Literature, Research, Writing (Pilot Edition)(Texas A&M University, 2021) Carly-Miles, Claire; LeMire, Sarah; Anders, Kathy Christie; Hagstrom-Schmidt, Nicole; Cooper, R.

Whether you are preparing for a test or simply want to sharpen your abilities, the practice problems included here, offer a diverse range of challenges that will help you develop a deeper understanding of key concepts of fundamentals on mechanics. The problems are focused on the specific topics, such as free body diagram, equations of equilibrium, force vectors, resultant force, trusses, moment of inertia, friction, internal forces, center of gravity, and includes a collection of practice problems with step-by-step solutions. These problems are carefully crafted to illustrate important concepts and techniques and are designed to build on one another as you progress through the concepts. In addition to the practice problems, several tips and tricks for solving problems efficiently and effectively, have been highlighted. Whether you are new to a subject or looking to deepen your understanding, these problems will provide you with the tools you need to succeed. I hope that this problem set will serve as a valuable resource for students and professionals alike, and that the practice problems and solutions contained within will help you achieve your academic and professional goals.
