Remorse, or rather the lack of it, frequently features in banner headlines. But there is little systematic study of this important inter-disciplinary topic whose relevance has extensive social ramifications. Should a show of remorse by an offender be taken into account in sentencing? Is there a correlation between the experience of remorse and a diminished likelihood of re-offending? And is there a correlation between the experience and the expression of remorse? Such questions, and the complex relationship between remorse, shame, guilt and attempts at reparation, are discussed in this...

Approximately 60% of all college students enter remediation and 67% of these never finish. This amounts to 2 in 5 of ALL University students dropping out due to lack of Quantitative Literacy (QL). Mathematical remediation is an issue that all modern post-secondary institutions deal with; it is not isolated to any one institution, or even to most pre-1980 universities.
