Column: Diversity of books is very important

As a child, I was fortunate enough to grow up in a household in which a strong emphasis was put on reading. I still remember dragging book after book up to my grandmother, pointing imperiously to the title and energetically demanding she read to me.

Column: In support of the term 'Ebonics'

It is readily observable that distinct groups of people within any context speak in distinct ways, to varying extents. Different groups use a “standard” national language to communicate within a national context and may use a different language within specific ethnic groups, tribes and families.

Column: Clicker points are pointless in our education

The recent trend of clicker questions in lecture halls has caught on to the point where they are now used in just about every general education course. While the most conventional form at UF is through H-ITT clickers, professors will also use websites such as Learning Catalytics and Top Hat to allow students to answer questions posed in class.

Editorial: Pragmatic or idealistic, just vote

If you, our fine readers, are anything like us in the Alligator office, you probably found yourselves glued to your computers and/or TV screens Monday night, eagerly anticipating/dreading the results of the Iowa caucus. As we all now know, evangelical and all-around bad human being Ted Cruz won for the Republicans with 27.6 percent of the vote and eight delegates, garbage-person and self-proclaimed “winner” Donald Trump came in second, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio had a surprise boost in support and finished third.
