Everyone else will move. Observation bears this out: within the US, towns have become startup hubs if and only if they have both rich people and nerds. Few startups happen in Miami, for example, because although it's full of rich people, it has few nerds. It's not the kind of place nerds like. Whereas Pittsburgh has the opposite problem: plenty of nerds, but no rich people. The top US Computer Science departments are said to be MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and Carnegie- Mellon. MIT yielded Route 128. Stanford and Berkeley yielded Silicon Valley. But Carnegie- Mellon? The record skips at that point. Lower down the list, the University of Washington yielded a high-tech community in Seattle, and the University of Texas at Austin yielded one in Austin. But what happened in Pittsburgh? And in Ithaca, home of Cornell, which is also high on the list?
education courses – five levels: access, intermediate 1, intermediate 2, higher and advanced higher – assessed internally and by external assessment from the SQA (= Scottish Qualifications Authority) Higher education Universities are the main providers of higher education in the UK. They vary greatly in the kind of courses they teach and in the way they organise their work, but they are all self-governing and independent and award degrees. An institution is granted university status by a royal charter granted by the Privy Council.

Most local education authorities were have now completely changed over to comprehensive schooling. At the age of 16 pupils take school-leaving examinations in several subjects at the Ordinary level. The exam used to be conducted by eight independent examining boards, most of them connected with the university. This examination could also be taken by candidates at a further education establishment. This exam was called the General Certificate of Education (GCE). Pupils of comprehensive school had taken the examination called the Certificate of Secondary Education either with or instead of the GCE. A GCE of Advanced ("A") level was taken two years after the Ordinary level exam. It was the standard for entrance to university and to many forms of professional training. In 1988 both
After completing the twelfth grade, American students are given a certificate called the high school diploma. That is why most students take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) which is a national college entrance examination. The results will assure whether a person will attend a univercity or college and it is up to universities to decide which students to accept. Foreign students who would like to attend an American college or university must have completed coursework that is equivalent to what is taught in an American high school. Foreign students who would like to attend an American high school, need to consider how the high school they select will give them access to the best colleges. Undergraduate school Students who have completed high school and would like to attend college or university must attend as an undergraduate school. These are schools that offer either a two-year degree called

Introduction This chapter documents the advent and rise of automated essay scoring (AES) as a means of both assessment and instruction. The first section discusses what AES is, how it works, and who the major purveyors of the technology are. The second section describes outgrowths of the technology as it applies to on-going projects in measurement and education. In 1973, the late Ellis Page and colleagues at the University of Connecticut programmed the first successful automated essay scoring engine, "Project Essay Grade (PEG)" (1973). The technology was foretold some six years earlier in a landmark Phi Delta Kappan article entitled, "The Imminence of Grading Essays by Computer" (Page, 1966). At the time the article was provocative and a bit outrageous, though in hindsight, it can only be deemed prophetic. As a former high school English teacher , Page was

He served as concert master and conductor at the Vanemuise Theatre. In 1944, when the theatre was destroyed, he left Estonia to Sweden. Monument to Gustav II Adolf In 1632, King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden, then at the war camp near Nürnburg, signed the charter to found Tartu University, which was also named Academia Gustaviana in his honour. The memorial statue to King Gustav II Adolf (1594-1632) stood next to the main building of the university from 1928, until 1950, when it was removed by the Soviet occupation forces. With Swedish assistance, it was repaired and re-mounted 42 years later, in 1992. The King of Sweden was present both at the original and the re-opening of the monument. Elisabeth Tebelius-Myren authored the restored work. Karl Ernst von Baer monument
