The report describes the operation and use of Program OPERATE, the sixth part of Project COMPASS, a Computer Assisted Classification and Assignment System. Program OPERATE and its necessary accompanying parts are FORTRAN Computer programs and subroutines. Program OPERATE selects and assigns to a naval recruit, if possible, a naval school. Selection is done by means of a modified version of the transportation algorithm applied to test battery scores. The program then punches out an assignment card. It is to be used in conjunction with Program LOCNEC, Technical Bulletin STB 66-32, which completes the assignment process by assigning a Navy Enlisted Classification Code, a calendar week code, and a school location code.

This report describes the operation and use of Program SCREEN, the second part of Project COMPASS, a computer assisted classification and assignment system. Program SCREEN, a FORTRAN computer program, reviews a Navy recruits eligibility for entrance into the various naval schools for which he may have been recommended by an Enlisted Classification Interviewer. It then prints out all errors in such recommendations, thus allowing changes to be made before the assignment process actually takes place. (Author).
The report describes the operation and use of Program GENDET, the fourth part of Project Compass, a Computer Assisted Classification and Assignment System. Program GENDET selects and assigns graduation rates and Naval Enlisted Classification Codes to recruits. These recruits were recommended for fleet assignments or were recommended for a naval school, but due to quota limitations, were unable to be selected for class 'A' school training. (Author).
The report describes the operation and use of Program SKOOL, the third part of Project COMPASS, a Computer Assisted Classification and Assignment System. Program SKOOL, a FORTRAN computer program, selects and assigns to a Navy recruit, a naval school, Naval Enlisted Classification Code, calendar week code, and a school location code based on recommendations received from an Enlisted Classification Interviewer. Program SKOOL then prints out all assignments and, if desired, punches assignment output cards. (Author).
The report describes the operation and use of Program PROFILE, the first part of Project COMPASS, a computer assisted classification and assignment system. Program PROFILE, a FORTRAN computer program, considers test scores, procurement categories, and school requirements in determining a recruit's eligibility for the various Navy service schools. It then generates a list of these schools with appropriate accompanying information, to be made available to the interviewer to help in determining what school assignment the recruit will ultimately receive.

Praise for How Learning Works "How Learning Works is the perfect title for this excellent book. Drawing upon new research in psychology, education, and cognitive science, the authors have demystified a complex topic into clear explanations of seven powerful learning principles. Full of great ideas and practical suggestions, all based on solid research evidence, this book is essential reading for instructors at all levels who wish to improve their students' learning." —Barbara Gross Davis, assistant vice chancellor for educational development, University of California, Berkeley, and author, Tools for Teaching "This book is a must-read for every instructor, new or experienced. Although I have been teaching for almost thirty years, as I read this book I found myself resonating with many of its ideas, and I discovered new ways of thinking about teaching." —Eugenia T. Paulus, professor of chemistry, North Hennepin Community College, and 2008 U.S. Community Colleges Professor of the Year from The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education "Thank you Carnegie Mellon for making accessible what has previously been inaccessible to those of us who are not learning scientists. Your focus on the essence of learning combined with concrete examples of the daily challenges of teaching and clear tactical strategies for faculty to consider is a welcome work. I will recommend this book to all my colleagues." —Catherine M. Casserly, senior partner, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching "As you read about each of the seven basic learning principles in this book, you will find advice that is grounded in learning theory, based on research evidence, relevant to college teaching, and easy to understand. The authors have extensive knowledge and experience in applying the science of learning to college teaching, and they graciously share it with you in this organized and readable book." —From the Foreword by Richard E. Mayer, professor of psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara; coauthor, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction; and author, Multimedia Learning
