Anterior Cruciate Ligaments
By Alexis Jenkins
Alexis Jenkins definitely is very active from the start. Sports have always been her passion; growing up, you could always catch her outside at the softball field playing with her high school, tournament team, or family. This all was until she had an almost career-ending injury occur not just once but twice. Luckily, she could continue to play two years of college softball, but she always wondered why tearing your ACL, also known as your Anterior Cruciate Ligament, was such a big deal. Now years later, she is a Senior here at Millersville studying Sports Journalism. After graduation, she plans to work her way into the ESPN world to eventually become an ESPN Broadcast Journalist.

Alternate Multiple-Choice Grading Method
By Kyle nazarchuk
Kyle Nazarchuk is a meteorology and earth science education dual major in his 5th year at Millersville University and is a member of the Millersville University Honors College. After watching a TED Talk by Dr. Martin Bush investigating a method to eliminate guesswork on multiple choice tests, he was interested in attempting to reduce guesswork in multiple choice testing while still asking students to answer questions as though it was a normal multiple-choice test. What interested him in the results was the unexpected increases that were seen in scores for students that were lower in the grading curve and he looks forward to future research to refine his methods to correct this behavior. Kyle plans to further his education in curriculum, instruction, and assessment, and to teach secondary earth science.
