|Once touted as the single best way to measure students from diverse backgrounds, schools, and experiences, standardized college admissions tests are now criticized for being hopelessly biased in favor of traditionally privileged groups. Out of this has emerged the test-optional movement that seeks to allow students to apply to schools without sitting through the rigors of the SAT. This book takes a step back and applies rigorous empirical measurements to these rival claims. Drawing upon the expertise of higher education researchers, admissions officers, enrollment managers, and policy professionals, this edited volume is among the first to investigate the research and policy implications of test-optional practices. It was conceived in response to the editors' frustration with the fragmented and incomplete state of the literature around the contemporary debate on college admissions testing. Many students, teachers, parents, policymakers--frankly, nearly anyone immediately outside the testing industry and college admissions--have little understanding of how admissions tests are used. This lack of transparency has often fueled beliefs that college assessments are biased, misused, or overused. Decades of research on various aspects of testing, such as the predictive validity of assessments, makes a compelling case for their value. But all-too-frequently researchers and admissions officers talk past one another instead of engaging substantively. This collection intends to remedy the situation by bringing these disparate voices together. This book is designed for provosts, enrollment managers, and college admissions officers seeking to strike the proper balance between uniformity and fairness|--

Do not you type of hate how we've joined the decadent stage of Goodreads when probably fifty % (or more) of the evaluations published by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually nude and unabashed inside their variously efficient efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you kind of wood (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the good ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were consistently plainspoke Do not you kind of loathe how we've joined the decadent phase of Goodreads wherein perhaps fifty per cent (or more) of the reviews compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually bare and unabashed within their variously powerful efforts at being arc, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you kind of pine (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's happy druthers) for the nice ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all reviews were uniformly plainspoken, just functional, unpretentious, and -- especially else -- dull, dull, dull? Don't you kind of loathe when persons say'do not you believe this way or feel this way'in an attempt to goad you both psychologically and grammatically into agreeing using them? In the language of ABBA: I actually do, I really do, I do(, I really do, I do). Effectively, as the interwebs is really a world where yesteryear stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the current (and with fetish porn), we are able to revisit days gone by in its inviolable presentness any time we wish. Or at the least until this site ultimately tanks. Consider (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's overview of Macbeth in its entirety. I have bound it with huge string and dragged it here for your perusal. (Please recognize that many a sic are recommended in the next reviews.) its really complex and stupid! why cant we be examining like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that guide is good! There you've it. Refreshingly, not just a review prepared in one of many witch's voices or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Just a primal shout unleashed in to the dark wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teen, but I admire his power to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation by having an economy and an understanding that renders his convictions all the more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's report on the same play. You might'know'MICHAEL; he is the'Problems Architect'at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in that it implies he designs problems... that will be the case, for several I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that that you do not want to see is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to start with, if it absolutely was supposed to be read, then it would have been a novel, not a play. On top of that the teach had us students read the play aloud (on person for every single character for a couple pages). None people had browse the play before. None of us wanted to read it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared to be they weren't paying attention. This compounded to make me pretty much hate reading classics for something similar to 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. And yes it can really fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the writer and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to learn plays is wrong, and if you require anyone, under duress, to learn a play then you definitely have sinned and will hell, if you believe in hell. Or even, you're planning to the DMV. I am also fed up with all you smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists along with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of a note overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age once we are taught to respect each other's differences, it seems offensively egocentric and mean-spirited to expect others tokowtow to the small linguistic rules. Inspired manifestation can totally free themselves however you are trying in order to shackle it. Which is your own signal, Aubrey. Within my personal impression, this play Macbeth had been the worste peice possibly created by Shakespeare, and this says considerably thinking about also i understand their Romeo along with Juliet. Ontop connected with it is previously fantastic piece, naive people in addition to absolutly discusting list of ethics, Shakespeare openly shows Lovely lady Macbeth because the true vilian inside play. Looking at nancy mearly the actual style throughout your back round plus Macbeth herself is actually truely carrying out the hideous offenses, which include murder plus fraudulence, I wouldn't see why it's so uncomplicated to imagine that will Macbeth would likely be prepared to try and do excellent in lieu of evil if only his spouse have been additional possitive. In my opinion that your participate in is usually uterally unrealistic. However this is undoubtedly your ne in addition really connected with timeless book reviewing. When succinct plus with no distracting inclination for you to coyness or even cuteness, Jo's review alludes with a resentment therefore powerful that it must be inexpressible. A person imagines several Signet Timeless Editions broken in to to help pieces by using pruning shears within Jo's vicinity. I don't really like that play. A case in point of which I am unable to actually present you with virtually any analogies or maybe similes about simply how much My partner and i dislike it. A incrementally snarkier sort probably have mentioned one thing like...'I hate this participate in such as a simile I won't show up with.' Certainly not Jo. She addresses some sort of live, undecorated reality unhealthy with regard to figurative language. Along with there's certainly no problem together with that. As soon as with a great while, when you get neck-deep within dandified pomo hijinks, it's a good wallow in the hog coop you will be itchin'for. Many thanks, Jo. I like anyone with a ineffective clasping from similes of which cannot method the actual bilious hate in the heart. You are my very own, as well as I'm yours. Figuratively speaking, with course. And now here i will discuss the assessment: Macbeth by way of William Shakespeare is a good literary do the job within the British language, along with anybody who disagrees can be an asshole as well as a dumbhead.
