The AACC competencies were initially developed to help provide guidance in developing community college leaders because of predictions of a leadership crisis in the two-year college sector. Since their creation, the competencies have been used to direct topics in leadership development programs and to guide future leaders about what skills are critical to master. Yet scant research exists on the use of the competencies in practice or on analysis of the competencies within the changing higher...

The proteins that gather light for plant photosynthesis are embedded within cell membranes in a site called the thylakoid membrane (or the «photosynthetic membrane»). These proteins form the light harvesting antenna that feeds with energy a number of vital photosynthetic processes such as water oxidation and oxygen evolution, the pumping of protons across the thylakoid membranes coupled with the electron transport chain of the photosystems and cytochrome b6f complex, and ATP synthesis by ATP...

What does college teach, really? As demands for accountability intensify, meaningful measurement of broad college outcomes becomes increasingly important. Here, you'll take a journey through the history of assessment instruments, starting with the creation of the first general outcomes assessment tools in the 1980s. You'll follow the evolution of the tools, writing and critical thinking, and finally the concept of value-added analysis, an appealing but elusive goal for assessors.

Dies ist eine Beziehungsgeschichte, deren Hauptpersonen beim Sonnenbaden eine äußerst wichtige Rolle spielen: das Licht und die Materie. Dass Sonnenlicht unsere Haut wärmen und bräunen kann, wissen wir. Doch Licht und Materie können noch ganz andere Dinge: Wer hätte gedacht, dass Licht nicht nur wärmen, sondern auch kühlen kann? Oder dass man mit gebündeltem Licht nicht nur Löcher ins Papier brennen, sondern auch ganz winzig kleine, einzelne Atome festhalten kann? Und was haben Lichtteilchen mit...
