Students in the United States benefit greatly from studying legal history and constitutional law. Doing so can help them build reasoning and critical thinking skills, learn to assess facts from multiple viewpoints, and develop and refine persuasive writing skills. Constitutional Law and Student Civil Liberties uses situations close to students' experiences to examine and analyze constitutional law. It both explains laws and concepts and provides numerous examples and exercises to help students absorb, engage with, and master the material. Through critical analysis of Supreme Court cases and the application of legal precedent to new facts and hypotheticals, students can gain a deep understanding of very complex areas of law and grapple with legal questions such as the following: - Does a principal of a school need a warrant to search a student's purse? - Can school officials drug-test students who want to play a sport? - Can a sixteen-year-old get the death penalty for committing murder? - Can a college use race as a factor when deciding which students to admit? Intended for high school students, this textbook provides an in-depth introduction to constitutional law, building such skills as analytical reading, critical thinking, and persuasive writing through the study of constitutional protection of civil liberties.
Grades aren't the point, so drill to win. Rebekah Merkle knows which high school classes you like and which you roll your eyes at, which books you enjoy and which you kinda skim. That's because she went through this whole thing called classical education, too. Classical Me, Classical Thee is light-hearted and -- most importantly for you busy students -- very short. It has a simple goal: to explain why you students are doing what you do in class. (Spoiler: it's not because you'll use your knowledge of the Iliad Book 5 yearly until you die.) What you do in class is a drill -- and nobody drills for the sake of the drill. You do drills so you can win the game. The real tragedy, though, would be if you didn't know you were doing drills...or didn't know there was a game at all.

This is a book expressly created to provide an aspiring engineering student with information and insight to understand and consider the challenges and opportunities that an engineering education and career presents. The author, an accomplished and widely experienced Certified Professional Engineer, offers significant and rationalized inside views of the journey from college applicant to a satisfying and successful career in engineering.
Many high-school grads ponder the question of what they actually want to do with their lives. Many have already developed a general idea of what career path they think they would like to follow, but lack any in-depth understanding of what that selection will actually entail. This is particularly true of the many professions that require a specialty college degree. This book provides a unique experience-based introduction to, and unusual exploration of, the science and art of Engineering from college through career. It begins with the exploration of exactly what Engineering actually is, by definition and by practice. It invites the aspiring engineer to explore the opportunities and challenges encountered in the journey from high school graduate through an engineering career. Recognizing that many young people are heavily influenced and drawn to engineering by the perceived glamour of movies, books, TV dramas, news media, etc., and by relatives and friends, the author invites the reader to explore his or her own motivations and deeply rooted interests and curiosities. He recommends a careful self-analysis that might disclose a relatively shallow attraction that might not survive after exposure to the concentrated and technical studies and laboratory work that comprise the basics of an engineering education. The consequent first-year drop-out rate in engineering and/or transfer to other majors is quite impressive. Assuming the reader's confirmation of motivation and suitability for engineering, the author provides an introduction to, and partial listing of, the many specialty fields of engineering. He explains the inherent differences that compel each specialty to focus the junior and senior years of in-depth college study on those unique goals, requirements and tools. Accordingly, he urges an early reconsideration of his selected specialty. A review of the defined path that transitions from the first several years' study of generalized basic engineering sciences, to the specific and unique studies required in the final years of that specialty. Having walked the reader through some definition of his/her readiness and degree objectives, the author looks back on a 65 year career, and presents his personal experiences and perspectives on matters and events that can impact or interrupt earning an engineering education and subsequent career. He offers his lessons-learned in a rich and satisfying experience. He cites his personal poorly-selected short-lived initial post-graduate employment, to a position as a novice draftsman in the Machinery Design Department of a major shipbuilding corporation, and, ultimately, to promotion to Director of Engineering Services. After retirement, he and a uniquely qualified Naval Architect formed an independent consulting company that offered services across a wide range of technical and management issues that further broadened his experiences well beyond design and manufacturing. Along the way, he accumulated a wealth of guidance from highly qualified tradesmen, engineering and design managers, contract and program managers, attorneys, and corporate executives, who contributed to a satisfying and successful career that he happily passes on in this volume.
