Sinossi

"Academic Calendars" explores the profound impact of academic schedules on higher education, examining how different semester systems and calendar models influence student outcomes, faculty workload, and institutional resources. This academic textbook delves into the historical evolution of these calendars, from monastic schedules to today's diverse approaches, highlighting the influence of societal changes and educational philosophies. 

 
A key insight is that an optimal calendar isn't universal but should align with an institution's mission, student body, and available resources. The book uniquely integrates quantitative data, like graduation rates, with qualitative insights from student and faculty experiences. It analyzes various calendar models, from traditional semesters to year-round schooling, using comparative case studies to showcase both successes and failures.

 
By connecting academic calendars to economics, sociology, and psychology, the book demonstrates the far-reaching implications of calendar design on areas such as local economies and student well-being. Structured to first introduce fundamental concepts, "Academic Calendars" progresses through analyzing different models, presenting supporting data, and discussing real-world applications. This approach aims to provide administrators, faculty, and policymakers with an evidence-based guide to understanding and potentially reforming their academic calendars for enhanced educational practices.

It is the story of every society that dares to carry the past into the future without being defined by it.

Ring of Roses - A Lesbian Erotic...

Giselle Renarde

I guess I could have told this story as a sickly sweet romance with me as the sugar mama splashing money around Niagara Falls to please my girl. It still would have been objectively true, but it wouldn’t have been the complete and unadulterated truth. If I’m going for honesty I might as well go all the way… even if the reality makes me seem jealous and immature and maybe a little nuts. 
 
A true sex story from award-winning queer Canadian author Giselle Renarde.
