A problem with standardized testing, such as the ACT and the SAT, is that anyone can learn how to take a multiple choice test without having to learn the materials related to the test question. For example, a student took a class teaching them how to look at the wording of the question for hints or clues to what is being asked, decide which answer choices make the most sense, and then eliminate the questions they feel are not correct. Therefore, eliminating the possibility to be creative and use…

minimal in-class activity. The class of 321 students in the Fall of 2013 was flipped, converting each chapter into video learning segments, adding active learning though in-class discussion and activities, and basing participation in part on in-class multiple choice questions answered about the videos (p. 422). Demographics for each class were not provided. The three exam grades for the course were then…

World: A Life Among the Nondisabled challenges those beliefs. In the Paralympics trailer, each individual’s talents and capabilities are the main focus, not their disability. In comparison, Mairs’ creative non-fiction specifically relates how her multiple sclerosis influences her career as a writer. The two mediums show that in spite of physical shortcomings, one can still succeed. Although both…

genetic and environmental risk factors for pediatric multiple sclerosis. Some of the identified environmental risk factors include exposure to certain viruses, vitamin D deficiency, and second-hand tobacco smoke exposure. The main genetic risk factors involved in development of pediatric onset multiple sclerosis (POMC) is variation in Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-DRB1 *1501 and familial history [1]. Genetic Risk Factors Familial susceptibility of multiple sclerosis has been studied on many…

Multiple sclerosis causes several physical and cognitive impairments. It is predominantly diagnosed in adults and extremely rare in children and adolescents. There is a lack of information about cognitive function of multiple sclerosis in children and adolescents. So by developing an effective brief neuropsychological battery for children and adolescents with multiple sclerosis. It could be useful to evaluate children and adolescents with cognitive impairment due to the multiple sclerosis. In…

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating disease. It is the most common chronic Central Nervous System disease among young adults in the United States, with an estimated 1.3 million people worldwide (Heine, M., Rietberg, M. B., Wegen, E. E., Port, I. V., & Kwakkel, G., 2012) . MS has several forms and a variety of symptoms. One of the most common forms of MS is relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). RRMS is a type of MS that has periods of flared symptoms, followed by a time of…

Tay Sachs Disease is a genetic disorder where the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cords are destroyed. Although anyone can carry this genetic mutation, it is most common of people with Ashkenazi Jewish background. Approximately 1 in every 27 of their population carries the gene for Tay Sachs. The gene mutation that can cause Tay Sachs is the HEXA gene. The chromosome that contains the gene is chromosome 15. At least one or both HEXA needs to be active so that so that the body can produce…

Each intervention included a passage with 8 multiple choice questions and either a story map or SWBST graphic organizer to be filled out while reading. Three of the six interventions will be with a story map and the other three will be with a SWBST graphic organizer. After reading, the students must…

the studies of Jean-Martin Charcot, he named the disease that would eventually become known as “Multiple Sclerosis”. Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is an autoimmune disease that makes your body attack the covering of the axons of the nerves, known as the myelin sheath, in the brain and along the spinal cord. This can cause a disruption in the communication between the brain and the rest of the body. ("Multiple Sclerosis Information Page.") This can lead to generalized pain, visual…

This proposal is driven by a specific clinical scenario- the patient with orthodontic appliances (braces) undergoing MRI of the brain in whom the ferromagnetic braces result in significant degradation in B0 homogeneity and cause significant signal loss in regions immediately adjacent to the oral cavity (e.g. facial structures and orbits) as well as image distortion over variable portions of the brain. These image distortions are most pronounced at the base of the brain, the brainstem, and the…
