This study uses an interpretive, qualitative research design to highlight beginning teacher perspectives of their experiences teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we share the experiences of 15 K-12 educators who began their teaching careers in the 2019–2020 school year, whose first two years of teaching were marred by frequent changes and a constant unknown. Despite this, and perhaps because of this, they changed as educators—th…

We compared HIV outcomes between HIV-positive patients who chose to access treatment from a regional hospital to those who chose care in one of four semi-mobile clinics closer to where they live. The subjects for this analysis we…
On-line Grading of Student Essays
This study examined the feasibility of employing Project Essay Grade (PEG) software to evaluate web-based student essays that serve as placement tests at a large Mid-Western university. The results of two experiments are reported. In the first experiment, the essays of 1293 high school and college students were used to create a statistical model for the PEG software. PEG identified 30 proxes (observed variables) that could be incorporated into an…
