Ethnic identification and the project of individual identity: the life of Mary Ann Wodrow Archbald (1768-1840) of Little Cumbrae Island, Scotland and Auriesville, New York
In: Immigrants & minorities, Volume 17, Issue 2
ISSN: 0261-9288
A totalising and privileging of ethnicity to the exclusion of other sources of identification in American historiography has created a tendency to conflate group identity and individual identity in historical subjects. While ethnic group identities are ultimately rooted in cultural representations and ideologies, individual identity is the ongoing effort to maintain a sense of continuity. The letters of a Scottish immigrant to the United States are examined to suggest the role of ethnicity in personal identity. (Original abstract - amended)

Academic preparedness of students – an exploratory study
The high level of student failure, accompanied by an increased drop-out rate, is problematic in higher education. It is especially a concern in programmes with the subjects of Mathematics, Accounting and Science. Over many years, models of student admission and selection have been widely researched both internationally and in South Africa. Research indicates that in the academic domain, underpreparedness results from a combination of a lack of English proficiency, mathematical ability and effective study skills. In view of the above, and government policy directives to broaden access in the scarce skills areas to increase student throughput, foundation provision was introduced for students of Commerce, Information Technology, Business, Mathematics and Informatics courses at the Vaal Triangle Campus (VTC) of North-West University (NWU) in 2010. The question at that time then arose as to what criteria should be used for placing students in the extended programme. The placement of first-year students in appropriate programmes should be done with sensitivity to enhance academic success but, at the same time, should not 'label' students as underprepared. This paper provides perspectives on the selection criteria available for predicting academic success/preparedness, and then reports on students' own experiences. An action research study was conducted on the academic achievement of two cohorts of first-year students at the VTC of NWU. The quantitative results of the performance of first-year students in their core modules are compared to the results of predictive tests written after admission. The results provide valuable insight into the placement of students. ; https://doi.org/10.4102/td.v8i1.7
