This paper describes a course designed to provide hands-on teaching experience to future professors and to incorporate techniques for more effective teaching. A team of Ph.D. candidates, under the direction of a senior faculty member, prepared a new course from beginning to end and then offered it to a class of graduate students. The course was developed using the unit map concept so that the presentations by the five student-instructors complemented and built upon one another. Immediately after each class, feedback was given to the student-instructors by the faculty advisor and the other student-instructors. Review of video tapes of the lecture reinforced this feedback. At the completion of the course, both students and student-instructors were surveyed as to the effectiveness of the course and the student-instructors. This teaching experience and the feedback obtained from the surveys will be invaluable to the student-instructors in their future development.

Scale Format

Previous studies on the points of the Likert-scale format have not addressed the question of the effect on the score resulting from the use of “neutral” or “undecided” as the midpoint of a five-point scale. The present study addressed this topic with a scale on attitude toward the school board, using 389 undergraduate and 190 graduate students in education, the latter having at least one year of teaching experience, in seven geographically separated universities in the United States. The two formats of the scale were identical (strongly agree to strongly disagree) except that one scale midpoint was designated “undecided” and the midpoint of the other scale was designated as “neutral” with “undecided” as a no-answer alternative. Analysis showed differences were negligible and little if any erosion of score appears to result.

The qualitative methodological approach of autoethnography is used to compose a narrative relating to my experiences at this stage in my career. More specifically, my inner thoughts as a senior faculty member, nearing the end of her career, are laid bare for the audience. The conflictual nature of deciding when, how, and whether to make an exit is shared across four themes: self-concept, new knowledge, aging, and retirement.

The ACGME has defined six core competencies for residents, including medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, professionalism, and interpersonal and communication skills. While clinical learning and experience contribute to improving interpersonal skills, professionalism, and general medical knowledge, residents and training programs struggle with educational models that help address more rigorous education in evidence-based medicine and scholarly projects. In this regard, we developed a collaborative academic project for a resident and faculty member that exemplifies these ACGME requirements in a practical and purposeful manner. This project was aimed to enhance the resident's psychopharmacology knowledge, learn evidence based child psychiatry, and develop writing and editing skills; a means to improve clinical as well as academic abilities.One senior faculty member and one child psychiatry resident were invited to become section editors for the child and adolescent section of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology Model Psychopharmacology Curriculum for psychiatry residents. Authors from various university programs nationally, prepared or revised lectures based on their expertise and areas of interest. The authors were provided with as much support and assistance as they desired from the section editors. The resident author/editor met in person with the faculty to plan the project and routinely throughout the process, with frequent e-mail communication throughout the writing and editorial work. After submission of lectures, the section was reviewed and revised by the resident and faculty editors, and submitted for publication. This mentorship experience with psychopharmacology curriculum is an exciting tool that will continue through biennial revisions.

The author, a recent graduate of the Doctor in Public Administration program, shares his thoughts about what it means to study public administration in the twenty-first century. He hopes his insights, born out of more than a forty year-long career in the field—decades of work in colleges and universities as a faculty member, dean, provost, vicepresident, and acting president, as well as his extensive experience in teaching public administration at the graduate and undergraduate levels—will help doctoral students in their academic pursuits. More specifically, he hopes that his remarks will make Ph.D. students think more deeply about the promise of their endeavors and, on the other hand, give them advance warning about perils of the process and ways to avoid them.

Abstract This study examines Jordanian graduate students' complaints posted on a Facebook closed group and directed to the representatives of Student Union at Jordan University of Science and Technology to be transferred to the officials concerned. In line with Boxer (1993b), the study considers the students' complaints to be indirect speech acts, as the addressee(s) are not the source of the offense. Using a sample of 60 institutional complaining posts, the researchers have analysed the complaints in terms of their semantic formulas, politeness functions and correlations with the gender of the complainers. The students’ complaints are classified into six semantic formulas of which the act statement element is indispensable as the complaint is stated in it. The other five formulas, ordered according to their frequency, are opener, remedy, appreciative closing, justification and others. Despite the negative affect typically involved in the complaining act, the semantic formulas identified in this study are found to signal politeness and fit into Brown and Levinson’s (1987) pool of face-saving strategies rather than face-threatening acts. Specifically, when the graduate students direct their Facebook complaints to the students' representatives, they tend to offer camaraderie with them to be encouraged to pursue the problems specified in the complainers’ posts.

Potential Effectiveness

There is much ignorance even among advertising professionals as to how an ad creates or fails to create a favourable selling climate for the product advertised. Two Calcutta-based samples, one of 100 advertising executives and the other of 160 graduate students, were utilized to identify 10 drafts of an ad that may contribute most to its effectiveness. Based on these drafts, a flowchart for assessing the potential effectiveness of an ad is developed.

The Future

This article examines a conflict between two narratives for the future development of Greater Paris – the 'just city' versus the 'global city' – embodied in two competing regional rail proposals, one put forward by the Regional Council and the other by the French State. The first, Arc Express, was developed by Regional Council to reduce existing territorial inequity. A counterproposal, the Grand Huit, was formulated by the French state to serve a network of new economic clusters. A political impasse between these conflicting plans, though a prelude to broader institutional transition, empowered new actors in the negotiation of metropolitan planning. It also engendered experimental tools, such as collective territorial development agreements, with which local stakeholders leveraged the state's agenda to achieve their own objectives and gained greater metropolitan citizenship.
