my back to the camera and lecturing on a dry erase board also did not appeal to me because I wouldn’t easily make eye contact with the viewer and my body would partially block the writing. (And, pedagogically speaking, isn’t that the traditional lecture style that I was attempting to change to a different format in the first place?) For style continuity, and because of these concerns, I chose to make Light Board videos. Students can watch the videos at their own pace, pausing and re-watching as

Aaron Coyner, Senior Capstone Seminar The use of solid polymers in lithium ion batteries has the potential to provide a safer, more reliable alternative to liquid electrolytes.
- Investigation of Microphase Separated Dicarboximide-Functionalized Oxanorbornyl Diblock Copolymers Exhibiting Nanostructure Marisa Adams, Capstone Senior Seminar Solid-state polymer electrolytes offer a promising alternative to liquid electrolyte supports in lithium ion batteries. Herein, we investigate a diblock system which may offer a nanostructured approach to membrane electrolytes. We have synthesized dicarboximide-functionalized oxanorbornyl diblock copolymers with varying ratios of ethylene oxide (EO

Suddenly, Elbaum’s mom, Pauline, appeared out of the crowd, waving a paper in front of the German guards. She worked in a ghetto factory making uniforms for the Nazis, and had managed to get her manager to sign a reprieve for her family – even though the entire block where the his family lived was being shipped off that day.
