Among my fellow punctuation nerds, I have a
reputation as someone who does not see any use for
semicolons. Cecelia Watson, who teaches at Bard College, has
written a whole book about them: “Semicolon: The Past,
Present, and Future of a Misunderstood Mark.”
Watson, a historian and philosopher of science and a
teacher of writing and the humanities—in other words, a
Renaissance woman—gives us a deceptively playful-looking
book that turns out to be a scholarly treatise on a
sophisticated device that has contributed eloquence and
mystery to Western civilization.
The semicolon itself was a Renaissance invention. It
first appeared in 1494, in a book published in Venice by Aldus
Manutius. “De Aetna,” Watson explains, was “an essay,
written in dialogue form,” about climbing Mt. Etna. The mark
was a hybrid between a comma and a colon, and its purpose
was to prolong a pause or create a more distinct separation
between parts of a sentence.
The problem with the semicolon is not how it looks but
what it does and how that has changed over time. In the old
days, punctuation simply indicated a pause. Comma, colon:
semicolon; period. Eventually, grammarians and copy editors
came along and made themselves indispensable by
punctuating (“pointing”) a writer’s prose “to delineate clauses
properly, such that punctuation served syntax.” That is,
commas, semicolons, and colons were included in a sentence
in order to highlight, subordinate, or otherwise conduct its
elements, connecting them syntactically. One of the rules is
that, unless you are composing a list, a semicolon is supposed
to be followed by a complete clause, capable of standing on
its own. The semicolon can take the place of a conjunction,
like “and” or “but,” but it should not be used in addition to it.

The Internet overtook print media as a primary source of
information for national and international news in the United
States in 2008. Television was still far in the lead, but
especially among younger demographics, the Internet and
social media are primary ways to learn about the day’s news.
With 40 percent of the public receiving their news from the
Internet, media outlets had to shift focus to make their
presence known on the web. One of the most remarkable
shifts out of that rush was the establishment of online-only
news sources.
The conventional argument claims that the anonymity and
the echo chamber of the Internet undermine worthwhile
news reporting, especially for topics that are expensive to
report on. The ability of large news organizations to put
reporters in the field is one of their most important
contributions and (because of its cost) is often one of the first
things to be cut back during times of budget problems.
However, as the Internet has become a primary news source
for more and more people, new media outlets—publications
existing entirely online—have begun to appear.
In 2006, two reporters for the Washington Post, John F.
Harris and Jim VandeHei, left the newspaper to start a
politically centered website called POLITICO. Rather than
simply repeating the day’s news in a blog, they were
determined to start a journalistically viable news organization
on the web. The different ways that POLITICO reaches out to
its supporters—blogs, Twitter feeds, regular news articles,
and now even a print edition—show how media convergence
has even occurred within the Internet itself. The interactive
nature of its services and the active comment boards on the
site also show how the media have become a two-way street:
more of a public forum than a straight news service.

Collaborative education programs can offer student
recruitment opportunities, increase Indiana University’s
visibility in other countries and with international institutions
of higher education, and foster faculty research collaboration.
Academic units at Indiana University (IU) may consider any of
the following to diversify their international engagements.
Academic units may structure opportunities for students
at international institutions of higher education to earn a
degree at Indiana University.
Dual and joint degrees pose reputational risks to IU and,
therefore, must be carefully considered. Such degrees are
approved only with primary partners of IU or with leading
peer institutions that have parallel strengths in a particular
field of study. These programs involve a two-way flow of
students, meaning that they are open to students from both
IU and the partnering institution, and require substantial
collaboration between faculty members. Joint degrees involve
collaboration by an IU academic unit and a partner institution
to offer a degree program that neither would have the
resources to offer without combining expertise and
instruction; upon completion of a joint degree program, both
institutions' names appear on the diploma. Joint degrees are
considered new degrees and must be approved by the Board
of Trustees. Because of their complexity and the time
commitment required for their development and approval,
joint degrees are rarely considered by IU academic units.
Cooperative education programs, or facilitated transfer
programs, are designed to make the transfer process easier
for international students who are interested in earning a
degree at Indiana University. A student's home institution, at
its discretion, may accept the credits that the student earns at
IU and confer a separate degree. These programs may be
done with existing partners of IU or in affiliation with a nonpartner institution.

“The ability to engage and manage high-quality
assessment procedures has turned into a sine qua non
for the educators at any level of instructional practice.
Nonetheless, effective assessment demands mastering
the professional knowledge and abilities involved in the
process. The field of evaluation and assessment has
developed many essential notions, rules, and methods
to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Some
of these are briefly presented here as they should
become a mandatory part of the academician's

Best language learning apps in 2024, tested by our editors

Updated 6:31 PM EST, Fri December 29, 2023

1. If you’re traveling soon to a place where you don’t know the language well (or at all), then you’ll want to download a language learning app to your smartphone before you embark on your journey. These apps can help you whether you’re on your latest family vacation, an unforgettable trip with friends or even a honeymoon.
2. “I always advise clients who book trips with us to use a language learning app if they don’t already know the language where they’re going. I’ve done it myself on my vacations,” says travel agent Liz Harnos, co-owner of Burr Travel, a Northport, New York-based travel agency. “These apps can help you learn enough that you’ll be able to order food, ask for directions and other basic things during your trip.”
3. Even if you have no travel plans in the near future and you just want to learn a new language for your own betterment, then using a language learning app on your smartphone or laptop can be the right choice for you. To find the best one, we tested five candidates over the course of five weeks. On our list were the premium (i.e., paid) versions of Babbel, Busuu Premium Plus, Memrise, Rosetta Stone and Super Duolingo. We tested each of them for easy of setup, design and features.
4. We learned two important things during testing: 1) some of the apps are easier to use than others, and 2) these apps can teach you the basics for up to 38 different languages, depending on the app. When all our testing was done, we found that Rosetta Stone emerged as the winner because of its easy-to-use design and the way it presented its lessons in the most logical manner.

How technology is reinventing Education
Stanford Graduate School of Education Dean Dan Schwartz and other education scholars weigh in on what’s next
for some of the technology trends taking center stage in the classroom.
Image credit: Claire Scully
1. New advances in technology are upending education, from the recent debut of new artificial intelligence (AI)
chatbots like ChatGPT to the growing accessibility of virtual-reality tools that expand the boundaries of the
classroom. For educators, at the heart of it all is the hope that every learner gets an equal chance to develop
the skills they need to succeed. But that promise is not without its pitfalls.
2. “Technology is a game-changer for education – it offers the prospect of universal access to high-quality
learning experiences, and it creates fundamentally new ways of teaching,” said Dan Schwartz, dean of Stanford
Graduate School of Education (GSE), who is also a professor of educational technology at the GSE and faculty
director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning. “But there are a lot of ways we teach that aren’t great, and a
big fear with AI in particular is that we just get more efficient at teaching badly. This is a moment to pay
attention, to do things differently.”
3. For K-12 schools, this year also marks the end of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief
(ESSER) funding program, which has provided pandemic recovery funds that many districts used to invest in
educational software and systems. With these funds running out in September 2024, schools are trying to
determine their best use of technology as they face the prospect of diminishing resources.
4. Here, Schwartz and other Stanford education scholars weigh in on some of the technology trends taking center
stage in the classroom this year.

The Old Man and the Sea
Santiago is an old Cuban fisherman who has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish. His young apprentice, Manolin, is forbidden by his parents to fish with him anymore because they believe that Santiago is bringing bad luck. One day, Santiago sets out alone in his skiff to fish off the coast of Cuba. He casts his line and waits patiently for a bite.
After two days, Santiago finally feels a fish on his line. He struggles to land the fish, which is much larger than he is. The fish pulls the skiff far out to sea, and Santiago is forced to fight for two days and nights to land it.
Finally, Santiago lands the fish, but it is so large that he cannot bring it into the skiff. The fish dies, and Santiago ties it to the side of the skiff. He is exhausted, but he is also proud of his accomplishment.

Santiago is an old Cuban fisherman who has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish. His young apprentice, Manolin, is forbidden by his parents to fish with him anymore because they believe that Santiago is bringing bad luck. One day, Santiago sets out alone in his skiff to fish off the coast of Cuba. He casts his line and waits patiently for a bite.
After two days, Santiago finally feels a fish on his line. He struggles to land the fish, which is much larger than he is. The fish pulls the skiff far out to sea, and Santiago is forced to fight for two days and nights to land it.
Finally, Santiago lands the fish, but it is so large that he cannot bring it into the skiff. The fish dies, and Santiago ties it to the side of the skiff. He is exhausted, but he is also proud of his accomplishment.
