Assessment in Math Education
Many times in Math education, the assessment used tells teachers and students too little, and too late, how well students are understanding material. There is a push now for alternative assessment which emphasizes deep learning strategies, as opposed to solely recognition or recall. The ideal form of assessment promotes students’ best performance across time and uses a range of methods.

The Impact of a Church’s Internet Usage on Congregation Members’ Perception of Community
Just as the Internet has changed the way that we do business and spend our personal time, so it has changed the way that we interact within the church community. Through a survey with a church community and interviews with the church leadership, this paper will identify areas of Internet usage specific to the church, as well as the positive and negative aspect to the church community. Implications are discussed with regard to utilitarian usage and community relations usage.

Framing the Worship Setting: Lyrical Content Explored
Many pastors and worship leaders propose that any song, whether originally proposed for Christ or not, when put into the context of a worship setting can be used to glorify God. The present study will explore whether or not framing has any effect in the presentation of secular, non-God centered, or ambiguous lyrical content when this same said lyrical content is presented in the context of a worship setting.
