The study examines the effectiveness of using computer games for after-school remedial mastery learning. We incorporated instructional materials related to “area of a circle” into the popular Monopoly game to enhance the performance of sixth-grade students learning mathematics. The program requires that students enter the answers to avoid the shortcomings of multiple-choice questions. Throughou...

This study investigates whether students who initially began college as engineering or technology majors and who were required to participate in remedial mathematics and/or remedial English programs, were less likely to graduate with their bachelor’s degree in their fourth through seventh years, as compared to engineering and technology majors who were not required to participate in a remedial ...

CLINICAL SCENARIO: There are two primary approaches to cognitive rehabilitation for adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI), the remedial approach (deficit-specific skills training such as table-top activities and repetitive drills) and the adaptive or compensatory approach (adapting tasks, routines and environments). A primary goal of occupational therapy (OT) in cognitive rehabilitation is t...

All theories of the right to secede either understand the right as a remedial right only or also recognize a primary right to secede. By a right in this context is meant a general, not a special, right (one generated through promising, contract, or some special relationship). Remedial Right Only Theories assert that a group has a general right to secede if and only if it has suffered certain in...

We investigated an osmotic remedial mutant of Saccharomyces which was deficient in galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase. Both the rate of growth and the transferase activity of the mutant culture were dependent on the osmotic activity of the growth medium. Organic and ionic solutes proved to be equally effective in inducing the osmotic remedial response. The galactose pathway enzymes were s...

This paper examines the effects of remedial mathematics on performance in university-level economics courses using a natural experiment. We study exam results prior and subsequent to the implementation of a remedial mathematics course that was compulsory for a sub-set of students and unavailable for the others, controlling for background variables. We find that, consistent with previous studies...

Several remedial measures like space diversity, frequency diversity, route diversity, increase in antenna height, antenna tilting, etc. have been tried by many workers to overcome the debilitating effect of multipath fading in fixed line-of-sight microwave and mobile communication links. Among these remedial measures, diversity techniques have been extensively studied in terms of improvement fa...
