In this case study, we evaluated the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) initiative at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), an extracurricular programme that focuses on academic staff-student partnerships and collaborations. While not directly integrated into university degree programmes, SURF provides students with the opportunity to develop practical research skills related to knowledge they have acquired in class. Participating students receive an authentic research experience, which involves collaboration on research projects with academic staff. All students are required to present results of their projects at a public poster presentation event organised by the university. This case study is a partnership between Academic Enhancement Centre (AEC) staff, who organize and run SURF, SURF students, and a lecturer (M.B.N. Kouwenhoven), and it presents a reflection on their experiences of the SURF programme, and in particular on the notions of partnership and collaboration and the potential tension between those two concepts.

Advertising Discourse

The paper focuses on the clusters of signs that support semiosis of belligerency and contribute to actualization of the concept-sphere "Militancy" in creolized advertising texts. The objectives of this study were to summarize the global research experience on the semiolinguistic and lingua-cultural phenomenon of advertising in connection with relevant discursive practices in the form of a creolized (poly-coded) text, to describe the Militancy's use as the psychological phenomenon in the semiosis of advertising through the cognitive conglomerate "Militarity", which is represented as the concept-sphere in the totality of such concepts as "War", "Weapon", "Ammunition", "Hostilities" "Aggression", " Demolition", "Homicide " ("Termination of Life").The substantial, figurative and valuable characteristics of the entire concept-sphere were considered in their connection with the constituent concepts. The authors pointed that militarity is a typical characteristic of modern ludic culture and it is actively exploited by advertising creative actors in formation of a semiotically saturated multi-code advertising text by means of an extensive cluster of militaronyms that denotes warfare and incorporates relevant aggressive images into the advertising discourse, thereby reinforcing and broadcasting ideas of achieving victory "in the fronts" of the advertising wars, in the "battles" of brands, or manufacturing companies. It is proved that militancy is reflected in the nominations and names of computer games and is supported in the semiosis of cyber space through using militaronyms (demolitonyms; instrumentatives; impetocaptives; locatives). Militancy in the semiolinguistic and discursive space of cinema advertising is discovered through semiosis of armabellitonyms and demolitonyms.

Strategies to teach young college recreational sports (CRS) professionals how to conduct research and to increase conducted and reported research within the CRS field need to be developed and shared within the profession. The product of these strategies will help to ensure data-driven decision making in CRS. The purpose of this article is to share the strategy used to develop and administer a Graduate Administrative Assistant (GAA) research program. It is hoped that the program will be replicated in other CRS departments because of the research experience that GAAs receive and the increased research in CRS. There are certain elements that make a CRS GAA research program work. First, the GAA needs to be aware of the research requirement before signing the GAA contract. Ongoing communication between the GAA and research mentor is necessary for the continual progress of the project. Before starting the research project, the GAA is required to write a research proposal. The proposal provides a step-by-step plan on how to administer the research project and includes the following sections: introduction, methodology, analysis of data, significance of study, budget, and timeline. Achievable research goals or purposes are established up front and from the research proposal. In addition, project tasks are placed on a timeline. Finally, flexibility is required on the mentor's part to adjust expectations, allow more time for teaching research skills, or assist with parts of the project that do not provide significant GAA learning. The capstone of the GAA research experience is the research symposium. The GAAs present their research to a captive audience of CRS professionals and invited guests. The CRS GAA research program provides the GAA with practical research experience and scholarly achievement while providing the CRS profession with new knowledge.

Approach To Teaching

Practical research courses are an important component of the psychology curriculum. This article presents an approach to teaching one such course that emphasizes an experiential orientation to learning to do research. Course assignments are of two types. One is a series of specific exercises designed to teach a range of skills important for research practitioners; the other uses research projects to provide research experience. Several group-based projects furnish experience with different research strategies, and an individual project promotes application and generalization of the skills and knowledge gained. The advantages of the experiential approach to research courses are discussed. It is concluded that courses of this type are valuable, even in light of the heavy demands on the teacher.

Practical Research

Practical research experience has been seen as an important tool to enhance learning in STEM fields and shape commitment to science careers. Indeed, this was a prominent recommendation of the Boyer Commission. Further, there is evidence this is especially important for minority students. In this paper, we examine the role of practical research experience during the summer for talented minority undergraduates in STEM fields. We focus on the link between summer research and STEM PhD program matriculation.  We examine evidence on this question using detailed data on students participating in the Meyerhoff Scholarship Program over a 14 year period at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Our results provide evidence of strong positive effects of summer research on participation in STEM PhD programs. Further, we show that the effects of summer research vary with the frequency and timing of these experiences. The evidence that educational strategies such as summer research experiences improve academic outcomes of minorities is vital, given concern about the science pipeline in the U.S. and the continuing growth in the racial/ethnic diversity of the college-age population.

This report highlights some of the major developments in the area of speech anatomy and physiology drawing from the author's own research experience during his years at the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois. He has benefited greatly from mentors including Professors James Curtis, Kenneth Moll, and Hughlett Morris at the University of Iowa and Professor Paul Lauterbur at the University of Illinois. Many colleagues have contributed to the author's work, especially Professors Jerald Moon at the University of Iowa, Bradley Sutton at the University of Illinois, Jamie Perry at East Carolina University, and Youkyung Bae at the Ohio State University. The strength of these researchers and their students bodes well for future advances in knowledge in this important area of speech science.
