This session will cover the following Ultra course tools that can be used to by instructors and TAs to assess student learning: Assignments, Tests, Discussions, Rubrics, Respondus LockDown Browser, SafeAssign. Beyond assessment creation, we will cover the various assessment settings and how they can be used to tailor the assessment experience for instructors and students. We will also cover how to provide feedback and evaluation on student submissions using Ultra's grading tools. All experience levels are welcome and encouraged to attend.Register -https://fins.uconn.edu/secure_inst/workshops/workshop_view.php?ser=3415

Raising Allies: White Children's Anti-Racist Development and The Impact of Color-Conscious White Racial Socialization by Parents Dissertation for the completion of a PhD in Developmental Psychology

Evaluating Phosphorus and Potassium Application Rates on Yield, Nutrient Uptake, and Post-harvest Soil Testing for Fall Cabbage and Corn Julie-Ann Adorno is a second-year plant science master's student and graduate research assistant at the University of Connecticut under Dr. Haiying Tao. Her current research involves evaluating sustainable fertilizers in a greenhouse setting, and field evaluation of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer application rates on fall cabbage and corn yield, nutrient uptake, and post-harvest soil testing. The current recommendations based on critical soil test values and optimum phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilization rates are derived from poorly documented, decades-old research conducted in outdated agricultural production systems and under historic climate conditions. In the NE region, the last collective effort for soil fertility trials was funded by the USDA more than 20 years ago, with a limited scope on understanding responses to P and K fertilizers. Robust soil test correlation and calibration data are needed for many modern crop varieties in the region. This research will help modernize critical soil test values for crop yield response and responsible nutrient management.

Abstract: Environmentalism is increasing among the general public, with more people believing in the severity of anthropogenic climate change and adopting green behaviors. This paper studies the change in levels of environmentalism over time and which individual-level factors—namely, gender, race, and class—play a significant role. Drawing on data from the General Social Survey in the years 1993, 2000, 2010, and 2021, I use factor analysis to develop three components of environmentalism: concern, attitudes, and behavior. Relying on T-tests and linear regression models, I find some evidence that suggests environmentalism has increased in 2021 among both men and women when compared to previous surveyed years. Still, for some variables, women are more likely than men to be environmentally concerned, have positive attitudes toward pro-environmental efforts, and engage in environmentally friendly behavior across all years. Environmentalism is also influenced by race, occupational prestige, education, political affiliation, age, and parenthood status, although there are no interaction effects between race, class, and gender. Contrary to my hypotheses, there are no significant gender differences regarding the belief that climate change is extremely bad for the world, willingness to pay more to protect the environment, or participation in environmental activism. These results imply that while gender may still be a significant predictor of some types of environmentalism, these distinctions are evolving in complex ways.

Prof. Hal Haggard, Bard CollegeFalling Cats, Tunneling of Quantum Geometries, and Quantum Gravity After his departure, a legend began to build about Maxwell's time at Trinity College, Cambridge. The story went that he would toss cats from school windows to watch them land upright on their padded paws. (This was not so.) I will describe the true fascination that Maxwell, and many physicists after him, have had with falling cats. Indeed, a falling cat is a remarkably accessible example of a gauge theory and turns out to be mathematically identical to a model of the simplest grain of space used in loop quantum gravity. Insights garnered from this model are allowing us to create detailed pictures of the tunneling of quantum geometry in quantum gravity. This new realm of application for quantum tunneling is unexpected and rich, already lending new perspectives on quantum gravity. I aim to build upon these simpler models to describe the late stages of the evaporation of black holes and the possibility of their quantum metamorphosis into white holes.

Yogais protective and enlivening. Freeing you from habitual patterns of tension, this yoga creates a sense of spaciousness within, dissolves stress, strengthens core muscles, joint health, centeredness, postural alignment and groundedness, increases breath capacity and breath awareness, shifts stagnant emotions into movement and release, and is attentive to the subtle stuff of the mind, helping to free us from the driving forces of unconscious actions and thoughts. You'll practice yogic techniques that you can bring into your everyday experience for simply living a good day, and for increasing your capacity to be creatively present in your life. A yogic attitude toward self and practice is one of kindness, patience, and tenderness. We grow into our best selves in an inner atmosphere of loving care. Open to all UConn students, faculty and staff from any campus. No experience required.
