Abstract
This report looks at tracking in schools and answers several mandated assignment parameters about tracking. It is a practice that has continued in US schools throughout most of the 20th and into the 21st centuries. This concerns a system of categorizing and separating students based on perceived ability during the time in which students are in the classroom environment. Tracking is supported as a status quo in education, particularly in large public schools. The practice is basically dualistic because there are some tracks like the gifted program that are progressive for the students, and other lower tracks that are not as progressive and may be in fact regressive for them.
From the Paper
"Important arguments in this context are whether or not tracking is an effective strategy, or whether it is the same as labeling students early and then holding them to these expectations. Other related arguments are related to questions of what the difference is between impulsive and reflective cognitive styles in students who are in high tracking and low tracking programs.
The argument against tracking involves how every student is different and therefore needs something different from the educational experience. Many students have challenges that they need to meet and sometimes the traditional way of looking at intelligence through IQ scores and academic achievement is not the whole picture for them."

Risk Monitoring and Tracking, 2005.
This paper discusses risk monitoring and tracking as part of risk management, especially for software project management.
4,000 words (approx. 16.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 108.95

Abstract
This paper explains that the primary objective of risk management, a proactive measure also used in software risk management, is to provide insights to support informed decision-making by identifying, monitoring, evaluating and estimating various risks which might effect a project and then planning, tracking and controlling the process to eliminate or diminish the likelihood of these risks. The author points out that risk monitoring, an ongoing activity throughout the whole project, is the process of observing, supervising or controlling the activities of other tasks to assess the likelihood of a hazard and the impact that hazard might cause or has caused. The paper relates that risk tracking is a process which identifies both the status of the mitigation actions against the action plan and effectiveness of the mitigation itself, to evaluate a mark or succession of marks left by something that has been completed thereby focusing management's attention of high-risk, high leverage and critical success factors rather than swapping management reviews with lots of low-priority details. Chart and table included.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"As a project manager, it is important to make sure that risk monitoring/identification leads to real action. Use risk monitoring/identification techniques to ensure that the teams are constantly identifying and mitigating risks. Risk management is a very sensitive issue, since it can have a negative impact on a project/work of many team members. It is human nature to try to avoid discussing problems making it difficult to motive the teams to be conscious of the risks. The same is true for monitoring of risks in the risk identification stage. Risks are never considered as positive, and no one really wants to do be the bearer of bad news...therefore as a project manager it is important to shift the team-culture so that risk identification can be looked upon as positive."

Abstract
This paper explains that both Maya Angelou's "Graduation" and Mike Rose's "I Just Wanna Be Average" describe ethnic and class barriers in education and suggest how to overcome the odds stacked against them. The author points out that, in a society that proclaims the rights to liberty and justice for all, these two writers illustrate the perpetual problem of educational tracking and the effects of tracking on young students.The paper stresses that, unlike Angelou and Rose, the author does not understand the reality of tracking in the American educational system because she assumed that she was no different from anyone else.
From the Paper
"Gender posed an additional barrier for Angelou, who writes about her experiences with the segregated public school system in "Graduation". At the titular ceremony at her black public school in Stamps, Arkansas, Angelou recalls the deep humiliation she and her classmates suffered when two white men usurped the ceremony to declare that while the white school received upgrades to its science and arts classrooms, their Lafayette County Training School would be privileged to receive an asphalt upgrade. In "I Just Wanna Be Average", Rose recalls his friend's words ...".

Abstract
This paper explains that tracking is an extremely common and widespread system whereby students are divided up among different classes and teachers according to their abilities. The paper uses a group of 20 students, with varying ranges of abilities in mathematics, and they are divided into 3 groups according to the tracking system. The paper lists the results of the study and summarizes the benefits and failures of the system. The paper ends with the results of the study, student-by-student, with statistical analysis as well.
From the Paper
"Poor student performance is one of the most pressing problems in American education today. In particular, math scores lag behind those of other developed nations. (Kodrzycki, 2002) Without a proper understanding of math, and mathematical concepts, today?s students will find themselves unable to compete in an increasingly technological world. They will not be able to find jobs, nor will American industry be able to compete successfully against its foreign counterparts. Though it is an essential part of the educational process, the how-to of improving students? mathematical skills remains problematic. (Stotsky, 2000, p. 44) Numerous approaches have been tried, but not all have been successful. One of the most popular methods is that known as Tracking ? an extremely common and widespread system whereby students are divided up among different classes and teachers according to their abilities. Tracking is rare until the Middle School Level, after which it becomes the norm."

Student Tracking, 2002.
This paper argues against student tracking that sorts and separates students according to their learning ability.
820 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 2 sources, $ 29.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses several reasons given for the abolition of student tracking: Widens the gap between advantages and disadvantaged students, separates students by race and class and an inclusive classroom where every student learns from each other is better for students, socially and academically. The author points out that student tracking widens the gap between the higher and lower ability students because of a poorer curriculum.
From the Paper
"...These are the factors of an inclusive classroom. In this environment, students learn to work with each other and recognize each other?s differences. This is beneficial as a social skill that will be required in real life. At the same time, working with different people challenges individuals academically. Each student has various skills and these are different from those of others. Separating students based on ?advanced? or ?not advanced? fails to recognize the range of skills and abilities that could be present."

Abstract
This essay argues that the system of grouping student learners according to ability, interest, and pace of learning is significantly detrimental to a quality education for all learners and must be abolished.
From the Paper
"High-school tracking streams allegedly group students according to interest and ability who learn at roughly the same pace. From statistics by researchers on students and teachers engaged in track systems to the personal experiences of teachers and students who have experienced track systems, track systems are a detriment to a quality education for all students. Track systems are typically flawed allocate scarce resources to students most in need and doom many students to failure in academics and employment. While tracking systems are designed to promote..."

Abstract
Because public institutions are committed to accountability and outcomes measurements, this paper argues that an Inmate Tracking System at the Wisconsin Resource Center (WRC), should be implemented. It discusses benefits of the system, which include greater accountability and efficiency, thereby addressing two present weaknesses. Establishing a tracking system requires a new, holistic, organizational view; multiple, significant changes in WRC's operation and assessment of the technology structure and in employees' computer competence. This paper's scope is limited to outlining a plan of implementing an inmate tracking system.

From the Paper
"There is a move in the public sector in providing outcome measures for services being rendered. Newcomer (2001) explains that "during the last three decades, the number of laws and executive directives that mandate performance measurement and reporting has increased at all levels of government" (p. 337). The private sector has been doing these measures for some time as a way to stay in business and to show its stock holders that the company is being operated efficiently and according to planned goals. Although the practice in the public sector is more about spending resources than earning income, spending these resources efficiently and being able to show the effectiveness of spent resources is one way of illustrating a need for the program."

Terrorists or Freedom Fighters - A Decision of Perception. Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?, 2002.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 8 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This is a question of perspective and of side. Depending upon the side you find yourself upon, your ideology, and your religion, determining who is fighting for the greater good and who is simply a terrorist is an impossibility of perception. Culturally, there is a great deal of support for freedom fighters. They are associated with the development of anti-oppression movements that we most closely associate with the American Revolution. To the British, the Boston Massacre was the suppression of terrorists, to the Americans, it was the massacre of innocents seeking nothing more than personal and communal freedom. This is how the world perceives Afghanis, members of Al Qaeda, and the combatants in Chechnya - as either terrorists or freedom fighters. It is the purpose of this paper to examine differences in perspectives on terrorism and how each group is perceived.

Terrorism and Bin Laden, 2008.
A critical review of Peter Bergen's work "Holy War, Inc." that provides an understanding of terrorism and bin Laden as a terrorist leader.
3,113 words (approx. 12.5 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 90.95

Abstract
The paper looks at the many arguments for and against the validity of Bergen's "Holy War, Inc.". The paper shows how, although Bergen is capable of supporting his thesis in the book, his political views adversely affect the overall scope of the book, because they impact the author's final determination of how terrorism can be overcome in the modern world. The paper is of the opinion that despite its limitations, Bergen's work is essential reading for anyone who desires an insight into terrorism and bin Laden.
From the Paper
"Bergen's (2001) work reflects the results of extensive in-depth investigation of Osama bin Laden and al Queda, the leading terrorist threat to the United States. Bergen (2001) a journalist and producer, formerly with CNN and ABC, had the opportunity of continually gathering information and learning about the terrorist organization and its leader for his work. Additionally, as bin Laden continued to become more powerful as a terrorist leader, bin Laden wanted to spread his anti-American message throughout the world, specifically targeting the global Muslim community to gain support for his endeavors. Bin Laden believed that using CNN as a pulpit for his views was the most effective manner in accomplishing his goals, and therefore, Bergen (2001) was capable of not only obtaining information that most Americans are not privy to, he was capable of talking with bin Laden personally and sharing this experience with the world at bin Laden's request."

Abstract
The paper provides a review of Osama Bin Laden's background and explains the history and structure of his organization. The paper explains his connections to fundamentalism and his links with other known terrorist groups. The paper describes Bin Laden's extreme hatred of the West and globalization and discusses how he has issued a "Jihad" (holy war) against the West for his and other terrorist organizations. The paper shows how Osama bin Laden's fundamentalist beliefs make him a danger to the western world and a deadly ally to many other terrorist groups determined to removed American "infidels" from the globe.
From the Paper
"Osama bin Laden was born in 1957 in Saudi Arabia. His family raised him in the strict Islamic tradition; he is a Sunni Muslim. He attended Abdul Ariz University in Jeddah, where he graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering. His father amassed a fortune in the construction industry; in fact, it was the largest construction company in Saudi Arabia and had close ties to the Saudi royal family. When his father died, Bin Laden became independently wealthy (Piszkiewicz 107). After he became disenchanted with western influence in Saudi Arabia and began organizing resistance, his family disowned him in 1994, and Saudi Arabia revoked his citizenship (Thackrah 189-190)."

Abstract
This paper examines different theories of how terrorists and the terrorist mind set are made. It discusses Dr. Jerrold M. Post?s theory that terrorist behavior is a product of psychotic forces and Dr. Eric Shaw?s argument that terrorists follow a ?personal pathway model? on the road to becoming terrorists. The case of John Walker-Lindh is also discussed by analyzing his odyssey from mixed-up teenager to American Taliban.
Outline
The Psychopathology of the Terrorist Mind
Dr. Eric Shaw?s "The Personal Pathway Model"
Quickly Contrasting and Comparing the Two Theories
John Walker-Lindh the "American Taliban"
From the Paper
"Dr. Post notes that there is a striking consistency considering the diversity of causes that terrorists are attracted to. Whether it be the old Red Guard Faction in Germany during the 70?s, the communists terrorists in the Philippines or today?s incarnations of Islamic jihads in the Middle East they share the aforementioned worldview of an us versus them mindset. This worldview is without nuance, without shades of gray. For the terrorist ?they," the establishment, are the source of all evil and are thus the source of all of their problems. With this view then, people outside the cause, all potential targets, become less human, more easily dismissed as expendable in order to achieve their ends."
