The Winner of a Teaching Award

We are pleased to announce that the winner of this year's Teaching Award goes to Dr. Marie Dagenais. Dr. Dagenai graduated from Universite de Montreal in 1983. She became an Assistant Professor in the Faculty in 1988. In 2000 she was appointed as Associate Dean, a very important role in the Faculty. In 2001 she was appointed to Associate Professor and was Professor five years later. For many years she has held important roles in the Association of Teaching and Learning, including being President of this Association in 2005一06. Similarly she has been heavily involved with the American Association of Distance Education and was that Association's President during. 2008- 11. She has also held a number of leadership roles in the Commission on Lifelong Education of America, one of the most important organizations in adult education.

This is an incomplete list of some of the countless important roles Dagenai has had

both within the University and beyond in the field of distance education in America. She is a very worthy winner of the year's Teaching Award.

()29. Marie was the president of American Association of Distance Education during 2009-11.

()30. Marie has done a great contribution to American distance education.

e province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soarswhere human ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the firstscience fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a goodthree centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly. In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by thedecades end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated (共鸣) with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther KingJr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and transformedAmerican society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other.The fight forracial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urgeto explore space is just the opposite, It is figuratively and literally otherworldly in its aims. When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollomissions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with nosuccessor. The perpetual argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here onEarth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit, reaching toward the stars seems a dispensableluxury--as if saving one-thousandth of a single years budget would solve our problems. But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the mostbang from a buck. They will serve as modern Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whateverexplorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting abottom-up assault on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could liewithin reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream. The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us--not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the spin-off technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreamsfeed off each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans cantranscend what were once considered inherent limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy,the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will transcend these as well, and the dreamers will deserve alot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we willactually achieve it. The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that__________

A.imagination is the mother of invention

B.ingenuity is essential for science fiction writers

C.it takes patience for humans to realize their dreams

D.dreamers have always been interested in science fiction

ut erosion and the de posit of sediment(solid matter that settles at the bottom of a liquid)on the deep sea floor, but I'm confused. For that to happen, there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud or sand or whatever, right？ But I thought there weren't any waves or currents that deep in the ocean.

M: That's not exactly correct. It's true that deep down on the ocean floor we won't have the same kinds of currents we find in shallower parts. But we do find what we call turbidity currents. This wasn't in the book but the term came up in class. Do you remember what it means？

W: Umh, turbidity currents？ Oh, yeah! Isn't that when sediment like sand or mud gets stirred up and mixes with water. And then this mixture flows through the water around it, right？

M: Good !

W: Uhe, but I thought that only happened in rivers.

M: Well, yes. This does occur in rivers, but we see turbidity currents deep in the ocean as well.

W: But how do they get started there？

M: Earthquakes mostly, when an earthquake occurs under water, it throws up tremendous amounts of mud or sand that becomes suspended in a layer of water near the bottom of the ocean. This layer is so much denser and heavier than other ocean water that if flows right down the slopes of the ocean floor and gains more and more speed as it moves along. Then it's just like the winds blowing across the desert picking up sand from one place and moving it along and finally dropping it somewhere else.
