|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|--

Don't you type of loathe how we've joined the decadent period of Goodreads when possibly fifty % (or more) of the reviews published by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually bare and unabashed within their variously successful attempts at being arc, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you kind of maple (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's merry druthers) for the great ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were uniformly plainspoke Do not you sort of hate how we've entered the decadent phase of Goodreads whereby probably fifty per cent (or more) of the opinions written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually bare and unabashed in their variously successful attempts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you kind of maple (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's happy druthers) for the great ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were consistently plainspoken, merely functional, unpretentious, and -- above all otherwise -- dull, dull, dull? Don't you kind of loathe when people say'don't you believe in this way or feel this way'in an effort to goad you equally psychologically and grammatically in to accepting with them? In the language of ABBA: I actually do, I do, I do(, I do, I do). Properly, because the interwebs is just a earth where days gone by stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the present (and with fetish porn), we are able to review the past in its inviolable presentness any time we wish. Or at least until this site finally tanks. Consider (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's overview of Macbeth in their entirety. I have bound it with a heavy rope and pulled it here for the perusal. (Please realize that many a sic are intended in these reviews.) its actually complicated and silly! why cant we be examining like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that guide is excellent! There you have it. Refreshingly, not really a evaluation prepared in among the witch's voices or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Merely a primal yell unleashed into the black wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) an adolescent, but I admire his capability to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation with an economy and an understanding that renders his convictions all the more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's review of the same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'only at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in so it implies he designs problems... which might be the case, for many I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that you don't want to see is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to begin with, if it had been designed to be read, then it would be a novel, not a play. Together with that the teach had us students browse the play aloud (on person for every character for a couple pages). None people had browse the play before. None folks wanted to read it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that looked like they weren't paying attention. All of this compounded to create me virtually hate reading classics for something such as 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 mcdougal and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to learn plays is wrong, and if you require anyone, under duress, to see a play then you have sinned and are going to hell, if you believe in hell. If not, you're likely to the DMV. I am also tired of whatever 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 message overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age whenever 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 concept can no cost themselves irrespective of how you might try to shackle it. That is certainly your cue, Aubrey. Inside my personal thoughts and opinions, a participate in Macbeth was the worste peice at any time published by Shakespeare, this is saying a reasonable amount considering also i study the Romeo and Juliet. Ontop regarding it is presently fantastic storyline, impracticable personas and also absolutly discusting list of ethics, Shakespeare overtly portrays Female Macbeth because the true vilian while in the play. Considering jane is mearly a tone of voice inside the back circular plus Macbeth him self is actually truely carrying out the ugly violations, which includes killing in addition to sham, I don't understand why it's so easy to imagine that will Macbeth might be willing to do good as an alternative to evil only when his wife ended up being more possitive. I do think until this perform is actually uterally unrealistic. But these is by far this ne and also especially of timeless guide reviewing. Though succinct and without distracting tendency in order to coyness or even cuteness, Jo's evaluate alludes to some bitterness and so powerful that it must be inexpressible. One imagines several Signet Timeless Updates compromised in order to chunks by using pruning shears within Jo's vicinity. I don't really like this play. So much in fact which I cannot possibly ensure that you get any analogies or similes about the amount My spouse and i hate it. The incrementally snarkier style probably have explained a thing like...'I hate this particular play as being a simile I can not appear with.' Not necessarily Jo. She addresses a new raw, undecorated reality unfit intended for figurative language. And also there's certainly no problem by using that. As soon as in an incredible when, when you get neck-deep around dandified pomo hijinks, it really is a nice wallow in the pig put in writing you are itchin'for. Thank you, Jo. I adore anyone with a useless grasping at similes which can not approach your bilious hatred as part of your heart. You might be mine, and I am yours. Figuratively talking, of course. And after this here is my critique: Macbeth by simply Bill Shakespeare is a good fictional function from the The english language words, as well as anyone that disagrees is undoubtedly an asshole and also a dumbhead.
