Student-led peer review can be a powerful learning experience for
both giver and receiver, developing evaluative judgment, critical
thinking, and collaborative skills that are highly transferable
across disciplines and professions. Its success depends on
purposeful planning and scaffolding to promote student ownership of
the process. With intentional and consistent implementation, peer
review can engage students in course content and promote deep
learning, while also increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of
faculty assessment. Based on the authors' extensive experience and
research, this book provides a practical introduction to the key
principles, steps, and strategies to implement student peer review
- sometimes referred to as "peer critique" or "workshopping." It
addresses common challenges that faculty and students encounter.
The authors offer an easy-to-follow and rigorously tested
three-part protocol to use before, during, and after a peer review
session, and advice on adapting each step to individual courses.
The process is applicable across all disciplines, content types,
and modalities, face-to-face and online, synchronous and
asynchronous. Instructors can guide students in peer review in one
course, across two or more courses that are team-taught, or across
programs or curriculums. When instructors, students, and university
stakeholders create a culture of peer review, it enhances learning
benefits for students and allows faculty to share pedagogical
resources. This book is intended as a practical guide for
instructors to use in their classrooms but can equally be used in
the context of faculty learning communities, departmental
workshops, or in a faculty development context to promote
consistent and wide usage on campus. Student peer review is a
high-impact pedagogy that's easily implemented, inculcates lifelong
learning skills in students, and relieves the assessment burden on
faculty as students collaborate to improve their own work and
develop into self-regulated learners.

Bill Porter follows the Yellow River, the world's sixth longest
river, from its mouth to its source high in the Tibetan Plateau, a
journey of more than three thousand miles through nine Chinese
provinces. The trip takes the master translator into what was once
the cradle of Chinese civilization and to the hometowns and graves
of key historical figures such as Confucius, Mencius, Lao-tzu, and
Chuang-tzu. Porter's depth of knowledge of Chinese history and
culture is unparalleled. "Yellow River Odyssey," already a
bestseller in China, reveals a complex, fascinating, contradictory
country. Porter masterfully digs beneath China's present-day
materialism and the deep wounds of the Cultural Revolution to get
at the roots of Chinese culture. And he does so with an
ever-present wit and a keen eye for the telling detail. The book
also includes more than fifty black-and-white photographs taken by
Porter during his travels.
Bill Porter is an award-winning author and translator also known
by his pen name, Red Pine. He is considered one of the foremost
translators of Chinese texts, especially Buddhist and Taoist poetry
and sutras. His translation work includes major Buddhist texts such
as "The Platform Sutra," "The Diamond Sutra," and "The Heart Sutra"
as well as the best-selling poetry collections "Taoteching" and
"Collected Songs of Cold Mountain." He is also the author of "Zen
Baggage" and "Road to Heaven: Encounters with Chinese Hermits."
Porter lives in Port Townsend, Washington.

Chinese civilization first developed 5,000 years ago in North China
along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. And the
Yellow River remained the center of Chinese civilization for the
next 4,000 years. Then a thousand years ago, this changed. A
thousand years ago, the center of Chinese civilization moved to the
Yangtze. And the Yangtze, not the Yellow River, has remained the
center of its civilization. A thousand years ago, the Chinese came
up with a name for this new center of its civilization. They called
it Chiangnan, meaning "South of the River," the river in question,
of course, being the Yangtze. The Chinese still call this region
Chiangnan. Nowadays it includes the northern parts of Chekiang and
Kiangsi provinces and the southern parts of Anhui and Kiangsu. And
some would even add the northern part of Hunan. But it's not just a
region on the map. It's a region in the Chinese spirit. It's hard
to put it into words. Ask a dozen Chinese what  Chiangnan" means,
and they'll give you a dozen different answers. For some the word
conjures forests of pine and bamboo. For others, they envision
hillsides of tea, or terraces of rice, or lakes of lotuses and
fish. Or they might imagine Zen monasteries, or Taoist temples, or
artfully-constructed gardens, or mist-shrouded peaks. Oddly enough,
no one ever mentions the region's cities, which include some of the
largest in the world. Somehow, whatever else it might mean to
people, Chiangnan means a landscape, a landscape and a culture
defined by mist, a landscape and a culture that lacks the harder
edges of the arid North.In the Fall of 1991, Bill Porter decided to
travel through this vaporous land, following the old post roads
that still connected its administrative centers and scenic wonders,
its most famous hometowns and graves, its factories and breweries,
its dreamlike memories and its mist, and he was joined on this
journey by his poet and photographer friends, Finn Wilcox and Steve
Johnson. South of the Yangtze is a record in words and black and
white images of their trip.
To travel upon the Silk Road is to travel through history.
Millennia older than California's Camino Real, and perhaps even a
few years senior to the roads of the Roman Empire, the Silk Road is
a network of routes stretching from delta towns of China all the
way to the Mediterranean Sea  a cultural highway considered to be
essential to the development of some of the world's oldest
civilizations. It was upon this road that that Chinese silk
traveled and was exchanged for incense, precious stones, and gold
from India, the Middle East and as far the Mediterranean,
contributing to the great tradition of commercial and idea exchange
along the way.In the fall of 1992, celebrated translator, writer,
and scholar Bill Porter left his home in Hong Kong and decided to
travel from China to Pakistan by way of this famous and often
treacherous Silk Road. Equipped with a plastic bottle of whiskey,
needle-nose pliers, and the companionship of an old friend, Porter
embarks upon the journey on the anniversary of Hong Kong's
liberation from the Japanese after World War II and concludes in
Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, at the end of the monsoon
season. Weaving witty travel anecdotes with the history and
fantastical mythology of China and the surrounding regions, Porter
exposes a world of card-sharks, unheard-of ethnic minorities,
terracotta soldiers, nuclear experiments in the desert, emperors
falling in love with bathing maidens, monks with miracle tongues,
and a giant Buddha relaxing to music played by an invisible
band.The Silk Road is the second of a three-book memoir series
about Porter's travels in and around China to be published by
Counterpoint. With an eye for cultural idiosyncrasies and a vast
knowledge of history, Porter continues to make with his mark as an
expert and travel writer.
My name is Delinda Rodgers, the mother of the little girl, Lacey
Rodgers, who will be the subject of this story. I'm writing this
book, because I feel like the Lord wants me to tell about the
marvelous things He was willing to do for our family, during the
time that our daughter Lacey, was sick with leukemia, took her
chemo, and recovered from the cancer that came into her life, like
it does to so many other wonderful children. I feel like God would
want me to share this with other families that are, and might be
going through what we went through during this very difficult time.
I know in my heart, God lead us to this cross for a purpose, and
that purpose was to get my husband Greg, and myself, closer to Him,
and to teach us to depend on Him, for all things. When God leads us
to our cross, and when He leads you to your cross, no matter how
big or how small that cross may be, I can assure you, it will be;
"The Perfect Cross." I do hope you enjoy reading this book as much
as I enjoyed writing it.
Do Miracle's Really Happen, is a story about some life changing
events that happened in the life of the Author, and his wife,
during a period of several years. It tells of some things that God
worked, that are without question, things that just couldn't happen
without the working of an Almighty Power. Not magic, but power that
comes from unwavering faith in God, and trusting in Him to do what
just seemed, could not be done. It speaks of a Miracle Peach Crop,
that happened in Colorado, where an old dilapidated orchard brought
forth more peaches than one could imagine, when all the other
orchards of the area were without, because of a late freeze. The
appearance of a buyer, when there were no buyers, and the miracle
of a man from nowhere that made it all happen. It tells of many
things that will stimulate your faith, and make you want to again,
trust in the Almighty God.
The story line of this book, is to bring about the picture in our
mind of the river of life. Very early in life, difficulties face us
that take great courage and determination, in order that we may
succeed in our life, and that the final outcome can be successful.
We have to learn early on, to listen and remember the words of
those that are wise, and have gone through the storms of life, and
try so hard to pass on the lessons of getting through this life,
with the least amount of difficulties. We learn to whisper to
ourselves, over and over again, to remind and remember these things
as we face the tasks that we will surely encounter on our journey.
Also very early on, we often suffer the lose of things that are
dear to us, things and people that we are just sure that we cannot
do without, and we fall off of the cliffs that we walk too close
to, and learn to grab hold of anything that can save us, careful to
remember the stories that have been told to us by them that are
old, and seasoned in their journey. We have to ultimately find the
source of all our strength, clinging to those that seemingly come
into our lives, often without any effort from us, we just stumble
into them, and find that for some reason, they were placed in our
way to save us. Finally in our seeking we come to understand what
the plan is, and that truly there is a God, and we see what He has
for us to accomplish while we are here in this world. We need to
come to the right understanding of Him, and learn to trust what He
says, and follow the lead of His teachers and His teachings, and
ultimately in the end, we find ourselves, and our own direction in
our lives, and in the final days of our journey, if we do these
things, very often the Father of us all, turns over the great
responsibilities of guiding the ship ourselves as we have learned
from those before us, and bring about the successes of life to many
others. Now, I hope you like the story of KEETOO.
