Williams of Pepperdine University provided a detailed profile of the characteristic attitudes and behaviors of both the typical A and the typical C students. He used the profiles to explicitly communicate his values and expectations, to help students better understand how their performance would be judged. He believed faculty could use the approach to help students take more responsibility for their own learning. "<BR/><BR/>"<BR/># Students see that an A is not reserved for the truly gifted, but is a level that a reasonably bright and motivated student can attain. The path to an A is not vague, but the result of behaviors students can consciously adopt to increase their likelihood of success.<BR/><BR/># Students learn that communication skills will be used to evaluate their classroom performance. This encourages those students with deficient skills to take active steps to remedy their situation.<BR/>"<BR/><BR/>4. Communication Skills. C students.<BR/><BR/>"..do not write or speak particularly well. Their thought processes lack organization and clarity. Their written work may require a second reading by the professor to comprehend its meaning."<BR/><BR/>6. Performance. C students.<BR/><BR/>" their answers indicate a cursory understanding rather than mastery of material."<BR/><BR/>7. Preparation C students<BR/><BR/>"<BR/>...are not always prepared for class.

Perhaps...Thank you, Meryl, for your change in tone. Perhaps as a result of suddenly venting what you believe, but are ordinarily hesitant to express, you go to a place that even I have deliberately avoided, namely the unasked questions about how Bruce Ivins died. I will only except to your phrase that questions whether the DOJ had "a hand in the letter attacks." What you must mean by this question is: Has the DOJ been engaged in protecting the source of the anthrax letters?<BR/><BR/>The gigantic contrivances in the DOJ's case against Ivins, alone, reveal complicity on the part of the DOJ. <BR/><BR/>As for the actual source of the anthrax letters, I submit that the subject New York Post article ventures cautiously into exposing what I have called elsewhere on this blog, the "elephant in the room." I underline the following quotations from the NY Post article:<BR/><BR/>"[M]ultiple facilities outside of Fort Detrick were sent RMR-1029 for their own research, including government laboratories, the Battelle lab . . . In September, FBI Director Mueller conceded other labs and scientists had access to Ivins' anthrax, but would not disclose how the bureau had ruled out other suspects."<BR/><BR/>"In April 2007, the FBI sent Ivins a letter saying he was 'not a target of the investigation' and said it was investigating 42 people who had access to RMR-1029 at the Battelle labs in Ohio, Kemp [Bruce Ivins' attorney]said."<BR/><BR/>"[I]n September and October of 2001, Ivins was involved in 19 research projects, including . . . an outside project with a government-contracted lab, the Battelle Memorial Institute in Ohio."<BR/><BR/>I request that one or another anonymous contributor to this blog confirm the following: USAMRIID logs (in the possession of the FBI)reflect that pursuant to order Bruce Ivins was sending RMR-1029 to Battelle from the late nineties all the way into August, 2001.<BR/><BR/>The only other quote from the NY Post article I wish to highlight is: "Sen. Patrick Leahy, a target of the 2001 anthrax attacks, said at the Judiciary Committee hearings that he doubted Ivins, who worked at Fort Detrick, Md., could have acted alone and that he believes 'there are others who could be charged with murder.'"<BR/><BR/>Both Dr. Nass and I attended both the House and Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. Senator Leahy made his above-cited remark only after questing whether Ivins had anything to do with the anthrax letters at all. <BR/><BR/>But Senator Leahy's most important contribution flowed from his statement that the anthrax letters to the Senators were unequivocally a "weapon." Senator Leahy then made reference to the Sept 4, 2001 NY Times article that first exposed the existence of secret anthrax weaponization projects being managed by Battelle for the CIA in Jefferson, Ohio and for the DIA at Dugway. The Senator's question to FBI Director Mueller was a sequel to Congressman Nadler's question the day before. Nadler's question: How did the FBI rule out suspects at Battelle and Dugway? Leahy's question: Where else besides Battelle and Dugway was anthrax being weaponized?<BR/><BR/>It is no mystery as to why we have yet to receive any responses to these questions. (The reason has nothing to do with national security.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
