In each case, we challenged students toprovide not only a claim, but also data (peer-reviewed sources and credible newsaccounts giving evidence that the claim is true), followed by a warrant or explanationthat logically connected the data to the claim.When students arrived at the design phase (in the

The leadership must be recognized by peers within MU and by knowledgeable people outside MU. In addition, all candidates for promotion should have participated to some appropriate degree in activities of service to MU. While these criteria serve as general guidelines, outstanding candidates should not be deprived of promotion because of the uniqueness of their contribution.At face value, these criteria embody strategic ambiguity: they seem flexible in that they allow fortwo paths to promotion (leadership in teaching or scholarship), and they also leave open thepossibility that unique contributions could be

Each source has differentbenefits and limitations. For example, reports from organizations are too broad to specify whichtextbook sections can be skipped without consequences.

Increasing the wrong kind ofinteractivity may promote the wrong kind of learning, thereby decreasing the
