Abstract Tesim:
This presentation briefly explains the results of a linguistic study which analyzed the phenomenon of consonant cluster reduction, as well as the factor of lexical aspect, and their effects on the presence of unmarked tense in oral narratives. The inspiration for looking at these two variables in particular comes from historic literature in the sub-fields of linguistics concerned with sociolinguistics and second language acquisition. The data used for this project comes from sociolinguistic interviews conducted by Amy Reynolds with Karen Refugees living in North Carolina at the time of their interview. My analysis found that both consonant cluster reduction and similar phonetic factors, and lexical aspect, have a significant affect on unmarked tense. I was able to complete this project as a recipient of the Summer Award for Research-Intensive Courses given by the Office of Undergraduate Research and the Summer School at UNC-Chapel Hill.

The Formation of Black Communities in Northwest Chapel Hill
Creator:
Wainwright, Anna
Date of publication:

Abstract Tesim:
he racial history of Chapel Hill has similarities with the national narrative (e.g. racialized violence, biased media coverage, etc.), however, in many ways, it is dissimilar. Most significantly, UNC held a high level of influence over the development of Chapel Hill as a town while promoting racist ideologies and controlling a majority of the black workforce. Within this context, a number of black landowners (e.g. Durwood O’Kelley, Vann Nunn, W.R. Lloyd, etc.) acquired land in northwest Chapel Hill, oftentimes subdividing it and selling to other black individuals and families, which contributed to the creation of the strictly black communities seen in this area in the early 20th century. These conclusions were made by cross referencing land ownership maps and land transfer records.
How Can Automated Feedback Engage Middle School Students in Developing and Explaining Models?

Abstract Tesim:
Developing and using models can improve middle students’ understanding of complex scientific phenomena. Providing automated feedback during modeling activities has the potential to support students in rich scientific discourse while actively engaging in modeling practices. However, existing studies on automated feedback often focus on how feedback can help students work on multiple-choice responses. To address the gap in the literature, this study used video data from a larger NSF project (#1552114) to explore how automated feedback helped 8th-grade students develop, revise, and explain scientific models of unobservable scientific phenomena.
