In view of the geometric approximation of queue length distribution and
geometric form of tail loss period distribution for nonbursty Bernoulli sources, we
are motivated to formulate the simple geometric approximation of the tail
distribution of a loss period for the bursty (M+l) tagged source. This simple
approximation, together with the results presented in this subsection, are
essential for the purposes of possible applications because they significantly
reduce the computation complexity.
The power of civic educ. (CE) to elicit positive student outcomes has been documented. However, the field is only now beginning to understand the causal processes that bring about these positive changes in young people. ¿The Civic Mission of Schools¿ lays out 6 ¿promising approaches¿ to CE which emphasize the need for instruction that is relevant to young people, provides opportunities for practice, and moves beyond rote learning praxis. These approaches to CE yield positive, lasting outcomes in students. The goal of this project is to examine the association between activities regularly used in CE courses (e.g., staging a mock election) and their impact on key student outcomes. This will provide evidence supporting best practices in CE. Illus.
The practices which we assess are common practices and activities that are
regularly found in standard civic education curricula and classrooms.
