It’s an intentional decision.  Maria Montessori’s journal indicates that new technologies could lead to laziness—and should only be used as a tool. “So that’s the mindset we approached the school year with, using technology as a tool and not a replacement for Montessori class time. Limited screen time is rooted in her writing,” Zwang says.Living Out the PLU Mission An education at PLU provided all three teachers with a foundation and resiliency for

    that provide for program sustainability. For example, in recent years, we’ve added programs mostly in areas where we have current strength (MSF, MSMR, DNP). But, PLU has also created a new program and hired an entire department to run it (MA in Marriage and Family Therapy back in the ‘70s); and we adopted a program from outside the university (MFA in Creative Writing). Both of those have been very successful. The only program discontinued in recent years is the major in Computer Engineering, and

    presentation takes place in the Fall. The expectation is that approximately 250 hours of work will be completed by the student between June 1 and September 30 on the research project. The figure of 250 hours is approximate, only, and works out to be about 20 hours per week during the summer months (June, July, and August) with a few hours of additional work in September. Each student-faculty team should work up a plan showing how the research and writing time will be organized, and where the research and

  • The conventional wisdom around the most recent cinematic take on Jane Austen’s Persuasion (2022) hardened almost immediately. Too Fleabag- y, too Bridgerton -y, and not Austen-y or Persuasion -y enough to tempt me was the consensus. I focus here mainly on U.S. based publications and…

    short-tempered, highly engaging review does a side-by-side comparison of Austen’s language and the film’s.
