Federal Sentencing

In federal criminal cases, federal law requires that judges consider the sentences other courts have imposed in factually similar matters. Courts and parties, however, face significant challenges in finding applicable sentencing precedents because judges do not typically issue written sentencing opinions, and transcripts of sentencings are not readily available in advanced searchable databases. At the same time, particularly since the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in United States v. Booker, sentencing precedent has come to play a significant role in federal sentencing proceedings. By way of example, this article discusses recent cases involving defendants with gambling addictions, and recent cases involving college admissions or testing fraud. The article explores the ways the parties in those cases have used sentencing precedent in their advocacy, as well as the ways the courts involved have used sentencing precedent to justify their decisions. Given the important role of sentencing precedent in federal criminal cases, the article finally looks at ways in which the body of sentencing law could be made more readily available to parties and courts alike.

In the last few decades, Information Technology has transformed the entire world into a village, known as Global Village, as proposed by Marshal McLuhan. ICT has increased its influence in every field like the education sector, defense sector, technology etc. In the 21st century, information and communication technology (ICT) has become an important and integral part of most educational organizations throughout the world.. The use of ICT in classroom teaching and learning processes has become indispensable as it gives teachers and learners the opportunity to operate, store, control and retrieve data in addition to promoting self-regulated and active learning. (Ali, Haolader & Muhammad, 2013) Today we are dependent on technology and the role of ICT is increasing day by day and is believed to be a new normal. Keeping that in view, the present paper attempts to examine the relationship between information and communication technologies (ICT) and student learning. This conceptual paper  is based on secondary information collected from different sources such as books, journal articles, newspapers, reports of various government organizations, non-governmental organizations and soon.

One effort that teachers can do to improve their learning process is by developing learning resources for themselves and their students. Teachers can use student workbook (LKS) to be used as a source of learning for students. A student workbook that contains material summaries can help students more effectively understand the materials. Student workbook containing a variety of practice questions is believed to affect the effectiveness of student’s learning. This research aims to analyze the effects of using student workbook (LKS) towards the effectiveness of students’ learning. This research was conducted to see students' perceptions of the role of using student workbook (LKS) towards the effectiveness of student learning. To collect data, this study used a questionnaire distributed to 24 students using a survey administration application, consisting of six questions related to the students' perceptions of the role of using student workbook (LKS) towards student’s learning process. After all, participants had completed the questionnaire, the data were then categorized based on relevant findings. The findings reveal that the use of student workbook gives beneficial impact on students’ learning since it can be one of the sources of learning besides the teacher’s explanation. It also makes students easier in understanding the materials with simple content and various practices. In the end, this research hopefully can be useful as a reference or guide for future researchers who want to conduct similar research on the use of student workbook (LKS) as one of the resources in the teaching process.

Improve Student Learning

Abstrak: Dalam belajar matematika diperlukan pembelajaran yang dapat membangun pemahaman siswa yang didasarkan pada konsep-konsep dasar pemahaman yang dimiliki siswa itu sendiri. Oleh karenanya diharapkan guru mampu meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir dan memecahkan masalah peserta didik dalam Matematika khususnya pada materi program linear. Dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran berdasarkan masalah (Problem-based Instruction) peran guru adalah mengajukan masalah, mengajukan pertanyaan, memberikan kemudahan suasana berdialog dalam proses pemblajaran. Dari hasil pembelajaran yang dilakukan, diperoleh skor nilai rata-rata hasil tes belajar siswa sebesar 78, dimana nilai ketuntasan belajar secara klasikal adalah sebesar 81% dan ini menunjukkan bahwa dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran berdasarkan masalah dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa pada pokok bahasan program linear.Abstract: Learning mathematics requires learning that can build students' understanding based on the basic concepts of understanding possessed by the students themselves. Therefore the teacher is expected to be able to improve the ability to think and solve the problems of students in Mathematics, especially in linear program material. By applying a learning model based on a problem (Problem-based Instruction) the role of the teacher is to raise problems, ask questions, provide an atmosphere of dialogue in the learning process. From the results of the learning done, the average score of the student learning test results is 78, where the classical learning completeness value is 81% and this shows that applying problem based learning models can improve student learning outcomes in linear program material.

Religion has a very important role in human life. Religion becomes a guide in the effort to create a meaningful, peaceful and dignified life. Realizing the importance of the role of religion for human life, internalization of religious values in the life of each individual becomes a necessity, which is pursued through education both in family, school and community circles. This research was conducted in 2 (two) cycles each cycle of two meetings. . The first cycle of the first meeting was on January 11 and the second meeting was on January 14, 2017. The second cycle of the first meeting was on February 1 and the second meeting was on February 4, 2017 using student activity instruments and teacher activity instruments in learning, as well as student learning outcomes instruments. The results of the study using the Peer Editor by paying attention to the appropriate learning steps in managing learning for the teacher and the existence of a cycle to the next cycle, classically the level of completeness is 93.33% greater than classical, which is 85%, meaning that learning through peer editing can well implemented.Keywords: Reading Meanings, Editors, Peers
