This course explores the splits, costs, confusions, insights, and opportunities of living in two traditions, perhaps without feeling completely at home in either. Course readings include accounts of growing up Asian-American, Hispanic, Native American, and South-East Asian-American, and of mixed race. The texts include selections from Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, Kesaya E. Noda's "Growing Up Asian in America," Sandra Cisneros's Woman Hollering Creek, Gary Soto's "Like Mexicans," Sherman Alexie's The Toughest Indian in the World, Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies, the movies Smoke Signals and Mississippi Masala, Danzy Senna's Caucasia, and others. We will also use students' writings as ways to investigate our multiple identities, exploring the constraints and contributions of cultural and ethnic traditions. Students need not carry two passports in order to enroll; an interest in reading and writing about being shaped by multiple influences suffices. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=387948 "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union" These are the first words of the United States Constitution, the country's most important government document. What did the framers of this document envision as a "more perfect union?" In this course, you will explore the result of their vision: the American government. You will discover how the founders created a democracy based upon the ideals of liberty, equality, and self-government. You will explore how the government is structured and how it operates, and you will examine the three branches of government-legislative, executive, and judicial- that make up the system of checks and balances. You will find that although the Constitution in principle grants certain rights and liberties to the people, many groups have not been allowed those rights in practice and have had to fight for them. But as you will discover, the very nature of the United States government means that the people have a voice, and that the Constitution is a living document, because it can be adapted and amended to change with the times. This is a fully functional demonstration of one topic from the complete McGraw-Hill course. Full courses tend to be fourteen topics plus a review week, and have alternative content available for customization purposes. Once the course is placed within your Learning Management System, the instructor can turn features off and on via the functionality of the LMS. McGraw-Hill also provides solutions for hosting courses if your institution does not support a Learning Management System. The following are just some of the key facets of our development methodology: Each course begins and ends with input from subject matter experts teaching in the field. They are based on a foundation that includes Bloom's Taxonomy of Education Objectives. We build in engaging interactivity to reach learners with different learning styles and multiple intelligences. Each course is SCORM-compliant and works with all major Learning Management Systems.

While grounded in scientific evidence, a broad perspective of humanism is emphasized throughout, with discussions of how ideas, beliefs, experience, ideals, and human nature animate individuals and societies and thereby give form to the things they make. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=508135 使學生能充分瞭解憲政民主與公民社會的基本原理與運作過程並培養學生具備現代自由社會的民主涵養與能力 http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=422058 Curso en línea para el desarrollo de habilidades creativas http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=508141 學習目標1.建立基本的生涯發展與規劃概念，培育生涯成熟度。2.培養進入職場的工作態度及職涯操守的人格特質。3.建立以服務人生的價值觀，學習利人利己的服務精神。4.透過課程學習，體驗人生的價值與意義。5.培養學生對職場生態的認識，規劃自己生涯發展，認識自我、了解自我，充分發揮 自我，畢業後能力及投入職場，展現自我能力與知識，實現自我理想 http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=422054 Curso para el Desarrollo Conceptual de un Proyecto, es este caso en el campo de las Artes Visuales y Escénicas. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=736836 Everyone knows tea originally came from China. And that was literally millennia ago--Chinese tea cultivation goes back thousands of years. Tea drinking later reached Japan, and in the West from the 1600s on. But today the world's best black tea comes from India, specifically Darjeeling, at the foot of the Himalayas. This article tells you how the world's tea came to Darjeeling, how it's grown and processed, and what you need to know when buying quality Darjeeling tea. It includes a 21-image slide show.
