Spring 2014
The plethora of research on ESL, L1, L2 and ethnography has left under-reported autoethnographies borrowing mathematics as a tool for thinking. In response to the multiplicity, this dissertation explores personal and academic experiences to expose my own development of an L2 learner, in...

A multi-scale test of the forage maturation hypothesis in a partially migratory ungulate population
Download2008
McDermid, G., Hebblewhite, M., Merrill, E.
The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) proposes that ungulate migration is driven by selection for high forage quality. Because quality declines with plant maturation, but intake declines at low biomass, ungulates are predicted to select for intermediate forage biomass to maximize energy intake...

Choosing an appropriate action representation is an integral part of solving robotic manipulation problems. Published approaches include latent action models, which train context-conditioned neural networks to map lowdimensional latent actions to high-dimensional actuation commands. Such models...

Applications of learning theory to human-bear conflict: the efficacy of aversive conditioning and conditioned taste aversion
DownloadSpring 2011
I tested the efficacy of aversive conditioning (AC) and conditioned taste aversion (CTA) on American black bears (Ursus americanus) in Whistler, British Columbia. Black bears subjected to 3-5 day AC programs responded by increasing their wariness toward humans, while control bears habituated. ...

Authoring Themselves as Mathematical Learners: Students' Experiences of Learning to Learn High School Mathematics
DownloadSpring 2014
High school mathematics students often complete homework and study for unit tests without support to consider how these actions could contribute to their mathematical learning. However, students can, through the process of learning to learn mathematics, to bring into view how they learn...
