This document outlines the grading criteria for an economics course assignment on present value calculations, risk analysis, and decision making. It includes eight sections that will be graded on a scale from Distinguished to Non-Performance. The assignment requires students to calculate and compare the present values of two payment alternatives, assess how the analysis changes with different discount rates, describe a real-world scenario where such a decision would apply, and evaluate investment projects based on expected net present value and risk measures. Students must use APA formatting and cite at least one external source.

Economics of Risk and Uncertainty Applied Problem
Please complete the following two applied problems. Show all your calculations and explain your results.
Problem 1:
A generous university benefactor has agreed to donate a large amount of money for student scholarships. The money can be provided in one lump sum of $12 million in Year 0 (the current year), or in parts, in which $7 million can be provided at the end of Year 1, and another $7 million can be provided at the end of Year 2.
Describe your answer for each item below in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary. Show all of your calculations and processes for the following points:
Assuming the opportunity interest rate is 8%, what is the present value of the second alternative mentioned above? Which of the two alternatives should be chosen and why?
How would your decision change if the opportunity interest rate is 12%?
Provide a description of a scenario where this kind of decision between two types of payment streams applies in the “real-world” business setting.
Problem 2:
The San Diego LLC is considering a three-year project, Project A, involving an initial investment of $80 million and the following cash inflows and probabilities:
Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary. Show all of your calculations and processes for the following points:
Describe and calculate Project A’s expected net present value (ENPV) and standard deviation (SD), assuming the discount rate (or risk-free interest rate) to be 8%. What is the decision rule in terms of ENPV? What will be San Diego LLC’s decision regarding this project? Describe your answer.
The company is also considering another three-year project, Project B, which has an ENPV of $32 million and standard deviation of $10.5 million. Project A and B are mutually exclusive. Which of the two projects would you prefer if you do not consider the risk factor? Explain.
Describe the coefficient of variation (CV) and the standard deviation (SD) in connection with risk attitudes and decision making. If you now also consider your risk-aversion attitude, as the CEO of the San Diego LLC will you make a different decision between Project A and Project B? Why or why not?

Reading Summary 1
Razik and Swanson
Data within the United States is processed based on four assessments. The assessments are reading, math, science, and other subjects. They are based on 4th, 8th, and 12th graders. They are also broken up into different ethnic groups. There are a lot of data that is alarming within the U.S. Data is based on household characteristics, family and peer influences, and student achievement. Also in this chapter it reaches on the education reform movement. Global forces and the specific causes that are concerning within the U.S. education system. What are the causes of failure within the U.S. school system and what changes can be implemented to improve the rapid downfall of our education system.
When all of the assessments were implemented on the different groups that provided data that broke up the groups that is when I feel our education system had been broken. Ways of instruction as well as curriculum has not changed much, however, all of the testing data is what has changed and the ways that the data is being implemented. Schools have become all about the numbers instead of the importance of what is being taught to our children. If the U.S. school systems were not all about the numbers and teaching our children how to read and write I feel that our schools would be more successful in all the data assessments that are being implemented. The problem is that special attention is given to achievement gaps among ethnic and economic groups instead of teaching everyone the same way that was taught years and years ago. With all the changes within the school systems and how they are wanting teachers to teach their children has caused a lot of confusion as well as stress upon the teachers as well as the children.

requirements. The rubric for blog posts is posted in the end of this document and is in the course
syllabus.
Blog Post # 1:
● Describe a time when you engaged in something adults might consider risky and/or thoughtless:
● How old were you?
● Why did you do it?
● What were you thinking at the time?
Think back to the article on risk-taking you read and to the video you watched on the teen brain. What
connections can you make between the lecture, the article, and/or the video?
Growing up, my family would take annual trips to the river in Laughlin, Nevada. We
would go with our family friends who had kids with a wide range of ages. I was 13 years
old at the time within the middle age range. A big activity at the river is jumping off of
rocks. My parents did not want my sisters and me to engage in this activity. During one
of the annual trips, I joined the older teenagers on a boat ride to the “jumping rock.”
Depending on how much risk they wanted to take, there are different levels for people
to jump off of. All of the older teens were jumping off of the highest level. I decided to
join the older teens and jump from the tallest rock. At the time, I wanted to do it
because all of the older teenagers were doing it. I wanted to be like them. This was not
an impulsive decision. I had thought about doing this activity the whole trip and decided
to go on the boat ride, knowing they were going to jump off the tallest rock. The article,
“Beautiful Brains,” explains, “Seeking sensation isn’t necessarily impulsive. You might
plan a sensation-seeking experience- a skydive or a fast car…” (Dobbs, 2011, p. 49).
By jumping off the rock with them, I thought this would change their view of me as an
older and more mature teenager. When they changed their opinion about me, it would
allow me to hang out with them all the time. I was taking more risks because I would get
a higher reward. This relates to the article, “Beautiful Brains,” which states, “Teens take
more risks not because they don’t understand the dangers but because they weigh risk
versus reward differently. In situations where risk can get them something they want,
they value the reward more heavily than adults do” (Dobbs, 2011, p. 54). By jumping off
the tallest rock, it gave me the reward of spending more time with the older teenagers.
If I had jumped off the shorter rock, I could have not been accepted into the group
because they did not view me as mature as themselves. Therefore, I would have been
penalized for not.

Reading Literacy

Part A
The context of the classroom setting
In the first section of this action research project I will address the context of classroom setting. Although, it is as important as the teaching itself and understand it is essential in creating learning environments in which every student can thrive. According to Pallardy, context is a classroom’s characteristics such as the composition of the student body, classroom structures and resources. Furthermore, by establishing that context is dependent on student learning we are able to come up with an action research question that will be discussed in this essay. The action research will be on the reading workshop; Is motivation among students a big challenge when it comes to reading literacy?
In addition, a reading workshop is one way to structure a class. Developing strong reading skills in students is one of the key goals in an educational program. Reading workshops encourages the students to become better readers. To accommodate the children’s variability, I assess the children through instructing them to write journals on what they have read and giving them vocabulary tests on that week’s reading. This helps when it comes to identifying student with a reading problem and can be able to tailor lessons to individuals.
One of the concerns that I have experienced in this classroom setting of reading workshops is children’s motivation to read books that they have selected. Their ability to choose the right book and their commitment to stay with the book until they finished is also a concern when it comes to their motivation when reading books. These findings were drawn from the data of the journals and vocabulary test that I had assigned to them. The journals that they wrote the boys in the class performed poorly more than the girls. There is also the fact that the boys in the class didn’t find satisfaction in reading unlike the girls. The boys also were not reading books of their own accord unlike the girls in the class who spent hours with ‘series’ books and other chapter books.
The classroom has 24 students; 52% are boys and 48% are girls. The last two tests on vocabulary showed that girls performed more than the boys. Also, the literature review was discouraging: the boys were lagging the girls. This concerns may be a product of the independent reading workshop and of the freedom of children to choose their own books during that session.
Through observation and interaction with the boys that excelled in the literature reviews I noted that families had a strong impact and the boys that saw their fathers at home read were more likely to choose to read. Therefore, having spoken with the school administration I invited some of the male role models for the boys. I invited teachers, some of their fathers, other school male employees to visit the class and talk about their reading habits. Some of them were frank about their discovery about.

EDUC 364 The Role of Cultural Diversity in Schooling A dialecti.docx
EDUC 364: The Role of Cultural Diversity in Schooling
A dialectical journal is one in which you engage in conversation with the text. This involves pulling quotes from the text, and providing your reaction, thoughts, analysis and/or questions about what you’ve read. When reading a chapter from Spring（chapter2 and 3）, choose 3-5 short passages/selections from each assigned chapter on which to reflect. See the example below. You can format your DJ in a chart format (see next page for template), or you can format it simply as a question/answer format like below. The goal is to use the DJ to think through your reactions and prepare for discussion. Submit your DJ to Cougar Courses prior to class, and if you don’t have your computer with you in class, print it out so you have it with you for a class discussion
Example
Quote: “Faced with the world’s migration of people’s, some countries, such as Singapore, have maintained cultural pluralism by providing public schools that use the child’s home language and reflect the cultural values of the child’s home. Through the use of educational methods that promote cultural pluralism, Singapore has been able to maintain Chinese, Malay, and Indian cultures and languages. Therefore, there have been different educational approaches to the intersection of cultures resulting from globalization...Minority cultures in the United State have primarily experienced cultural genocide, deculturalization, and denial of education. Immigrant groups have mostly experienced assimilation and hybridity.” (Chapter 1).
Response: This is always what I come back to when thinking about American education. We could have chosen a different path, a different approach educating the various groups of children that have come through the school system. But instead of seeing schooling primarily as a democratizing tool, the founders and those in government who came after them saw schooling as a tool for deculturalization, for imposing hegemony. What is most frustrating is how to tease out how our current system still contains the legacy of those oppressive institutional choices. Seeing those remnants for what they are--clearly--is the only way to change the system to truly benefit all kids.

EDUC 144 Writing Tips The writing assignments in this cla.docx
EDUC 144 Writing Tips
The writing assignments in this class require students to engage in critical thinking and analysis,
producing papers that go beyond simple summaries of course readings by utilizing concepts, ideas, and
findings in course readings to critically analyze contemporary schooling and academic achievement in
the United States. Below is a list of suggestions to help you write strong papers that are critical and
analytical.
The introductory paragraph should briefly mention the topic and purpose/focus of your paper and state
your thesis in clear, specific terms (i.e. “In this paper, I will argue…” or “I will contend...,” or “I will
demonstrate…”).
Each paragraph in the body of the paper should be tightly organized around one main idea. Each
paragraph should build on previous ones and provide concrete examples/findings from the week’s
readings that serve as data that support your analysis, or examples from your own experiences and
observations of schooling that serve as evidence in support of your analysis. If you are drawing on a
specific theoretical concept(s) or idea(s) in your analysis, remember to clearly define and explain the
concept(s) or idea(s) before using that concept(s) or idea(s) to investigate and analyze particular aspects
of contemporary schooling.
The concluding paragraph needs to restate the thesis and main points addressed in the paper.
Sometimes writers do not know what their argument is until they have reached the end of the paper—or
the thesis has changed by the end. If either of these happens to you, be sure to put your thesis in the first
paragraph as well and/or make sure that you are making the same argument throughout the paper.
Things to keep in mind, at the level of the paragraph:
Make sure your comments are relevant to the topic at hand: one way to do this is to make an outline of
each paragraph’s main idea; each one should clearly relate to the topic and focus/purpose or thesis of
your paper. It is writer’s responsibility to select relevant concepts or ideas, examples of research
findings from the week’s readings, and/or personal experiences and observations that relate directly to
the topic and purpose/focus of the paper. It is not appropriate to expect the reader to do this instead.
Remember, examples/research findings and personal experiences and observations are not “obviously”
evidence in support of your analysis until you explicitly explain how these examples/findings/
experiences/observations support the claims in your analysis.
Make sure each paragraph’s main idea is clearly connected to your thesis.
*Smoothly transition between paragraphs: connect first line of new paragraph with main idea of
previous paragraph.
*Stick to the facts at hand—do not overstate your case.
Things to keep in mind, at the level of the sentence:
*Tighten sentence structure: combine sentences when possible by eliminating redundant information.
*Employ p.

Curriculum lies at the heart of educational policies and practices.
They are are highly political documents which convey ideological positions about
the type of education that should be given in different cultural contexts and the
citizenship values that can be shared by the citizen of a state (Apple, 2004).
Each society has its own values and beliefs which they want to be translated into
educational objectives via the curriculum.
“Curriculum is a comprehensive plan for an educational programme/institute/
course to offer new or improved manpower to accomplish the rising needs of a
dynamic society” (Pillai, 2015).

Curriculum development is defined as the process which is planned, purposeful,
progressive, and systematic in order to create positive improvements in the
educational system.
The curriculum is affected by any changes or developments that affect society
(Alvior, 2014).
It needs to correspond to those changes but at the same time to respect all
people despite of gender, ethnicity, disability, religion etc. (Symeonidou and

Reading Summary 1
Razik and Swanson
Data within the United States is processed based on four assessments. The assessments are reading, math, science, and other subjects. They are based on 4th, 8th, and 12th graders. They are also broken up into different ethnic groups. There are a lot of data that is alarming within the U.S. Data is based on household characteristics, family and peer influences, and student achievement. Also in this chapter it reaches on the education reform movement. Global forces and the specific causes that are concerning within the U.S. education system. What are the causes of failure within the U.S. school system and what changes can be implemented to improve the rapid downfall of our education system.
When all of the assessments were implemented on the different groups that provided data that broke up the groups that is when I feel our education system had been broken. Ways of instruction as well as curriculum has not changed much, however, all of the testing data is what has changed and the ways that the data is being implemented. Schools have become all about the numbers instead of the importance of what is being taught to our children. If the U.S. school systems were not all about the numbers and teaching our children how to read and write I feel that our schools would be more successful in all the data assessments that are being implemented. The problem is that special attention is given to achievement gaps among ethnic and economic groups instead of teaching everyone the same way that was taught years and years ago. With all the changes within the school systems and how they are wanting teachers to teach their children has caused a lot of confusion as well as stress upon the teachers as well as the children.

EDUC 380 Blog Post Samples
Module 1: The Brain
Below are some student examples that are excellent blog posts for the first two prompts in Module 1
(The Brain). The goal for the discussion posts is to engage in the module materials directly and explore
some of the questions and issues in each module more deeply. The posts are very important for your
learning. Below you will find comments to help you understand how these students met the rubric
requirements. The rubric for blog posts is posted in the end of this document and is in the course
syllabus.
Blog Post # 1:
● Describe a time when you engaged in something adults might consider risky and/or thoughtless:
● How old were you?
● Why did you do it?
● What were you thinking at the time?
Think back to the article on risk-taking you read and to the video you watched on the teen brain. What
connections can you make between the lecture, the article, and/or the video?
Growing up, my family would take annual trips to the river in Laughlin, Nevada. We
would go with our family friends who had kids with a wide range of ages. I was 13 years
old at the time within the middle age range. A big activity at the river is jumping off of
rocks. My parents did not want my sisters and me to engage in this activity. During one
of the annual trips, I joined the older teenagers on a boat ride to the “jumping rock.”
Depending on how much risk they wanted to take, there are different levels for people
to jump off of. All of the older teens were jumping off of the highest level. I decided to
join the older teens and jump from the tallest rock. At the time, I wanted to do it
because all of the older teenagers were doing it. I wanted to be like them. This was not
an impulsive decision. I had thought about doing this activity the whole trip and decided
to go on the boat ride, knowing they were going to jump off the tallest rock. The article,
“Beautiful Brains,” explains, “Seeking sensation isn’t necessarily impulsive. You might
plan a sensation-seeking experience- a skydive or a fast car…” (Dobbs, 2011, p. 49).
By jumping off the rock with them, I thought this would change their view of me as an
older and more mature teenager. When they changed their opinion about me, it would
allow me to hang out with them all the time. I was taking more risks because I would get
a higher reward. This relates to the article, “Beautiful Brains,” which states, “Teens take
more risks not because they don’t understand the dangers but because they weigh risk
versus reward differently. In situations where risk can get them something they want,
they value the reward more heavily than adults do” (Dobbs, 2011, p. 54). By jumping off
the tallest rock, it gave me the reward of spending more time with the older teenagers.
If I had jumped off the shorter rock, I could have not been accepted into the group
because they did not view me as mature as themselves. Therefore, I would have been
penalized for not.

Reading Literacy
Draft
Part A
The context of the classroom setting
In the first section of this action research project I will address the context of classroom setting. Although, it is as important as the teaching itself and understand it is essential in creating learning environments in which every student can thrive. According to Pallardy, context is a classroom’s characteristics such as the composition of the student body, classroom structures and resources. Furthermore, by establishing that context is dependent on student learning we are able to come up with an action research question that will be discussed in this essay. The action research will be on the reading workshop; Is motivation among students a big challenge when it comes to reading literacy?
In addition, a reading workshop is one way to structure a class. Developing strong reading skills in students is one of the key goals in an educational program. Reading workshops encourages the students to become better readers. To accommodate the children’s variability, I assess the children through instructing them to write journals on what they have read and giving them vocabulary tests on that week’s reading. This helps when it comes to identifying student with a reading problem and can be able to tailor lessons to individuals.
One of the concerns that I have experienced in this classroom setting of reading workshops is children’s motivation to read books that they have selected. Their ability to choose the right book and their commitment to stay with the book until they finished is also a concern when it comes to their motivation when reading books. These findings were drawn from the data of the journals and vocabulary test that I had assigned to them. The journals that they wrote the boys in the class performed poorly more than the girls. There is also the fact that the boys in the class didn’t find satisfaction in reading unlike the girls. The boys also were not reading books of their own accord unlike the girls in the class who spent hours with ‘series’ books and other chapter books.
The classroom has 24 students; 52% are boys and 48% are girls. The last two tests on vocabulary showed that girls performed more than the boys. Also, the literature review was discouraging: the boys were lagging the girls. This concerns may be a product of the independent reading workshop and of the freedom of children to choose their own books during that session.
Through observation and interaction with the boys that excelled in the literature reviews I noted that families had a strong impact and the boys that saw their fathers at home read were more likely to choose to read. Therefore, having spoken with the school administration I invited some of the male role models for the boys. I invited teachers, some of their fathers, other school male employees to visit the class and talk about their reading habits. Some of them were frank about their discovery about.

EDUC 364 The Role of Cultural Diversity in Schooling A dialecti.docx
EDUC 364: The Role of Cultural Diversity in Schooling
A dialectical journal is one in which you engage in conversation with the text. This involves pulling quotes from the text, and providing your reaction, thoughts, analysis and/or questions about what you’ve read. When reading a chapter from Spring（chapter2 and 3）, choose 3-5 short passages/selections from each assigned chapter on which to reflect. See the example below. You can format your DJ in a chart format (see next page for template), or you can format it simply as a question/answer format like below. The goal is to use the DJ to think through your reactions and prepare for discussion. Submit your DJ to Cougar Courses prior to class, and if you don’t have your computer with you in class, print it out so you have it with you for a class discussion
Example
Quote: “Faced with the world’s migration of people’s, some countries, such as Singapore, have maintained cultural pluralism by providing public schools that use the child’s home language and reflect the cultural values of the child’s home. Through the use of educational methods that promote cultural pluralism, Singapore has been able to maintain Chinese, Malay, and Indian cultures and languages. Therefore, there have been different educational approaches to the intersection of cultures resulting from globalization...Minority cultures in the United State have primarily experienced cultural genocide, deculturalization, and denial of education. Immigrant groups have mostly experienced assimilation and hybridity.” (Chapter 1).
Response: This is always what I come back to when thinking about American education. We could have chosen a different path, a different approach educating the various groups of children that have come through the school system. But instead of seeing schooling primarily as a democratizing tool, the founders and those in government who came after them saw schooling as a tool for deculturalization, for imposing hegemony. What is most frustrating is how to tease out how our current system still contains the legacy of those oppressive institutional choices. Seeing those remnants for what they are--clearly--is the only way to change the system to truly benefit all kids.

EDUC 144 Writing Tips The writing assignments in this cla.docx
EDUC 144 Writing Tips
The writing assignments in this class require students to engage in critical thinking and analysis,
producing papers that go beyond simple summaries of course readings by utilizing concepts, ideas, and
findings in course readings to critically analyze contemporary schooling and academic achievement in
the United States. Below is a list of suggestions to help you write strong papers that are critical and
analytical.
The introductory paragraph should briefly mention the topic and purpose/focus of your paper and state
your thesis in clear, specific terms (i.e. “In this paper, I will argue…” or “I will contend...,” or “I will
demonstrate…”).
Each paragraph in the body of the paper should be tightly organized around one main idea. Each
paragraph should build on previous ones and provide concrete examples/findings from the week’s
readings that serve as data that support your analysis, or examples from your own experiences and
observations of schooling that serve as evidence in support of your analysis. If you are drawing on a
specific theoretical concept(s) or idea(s) in your analysis, remember to clearly define and explain the
concept(s) or idea(s) before using that concept(s) or idea(s) to investigate and analyze particular aspects
of contemporary schooling.
The concluding paragraph needs to restate the thesis and main points addressed in the paper.
Sometimes writers do not know what their argument is until they have reached the end of the paper—or
the thesis has changed by the end. If either of these happens to you, be sure to put your thesis in the first
paragraph as well and/or make sure that you are making the same argument throughout the paper.
Things to keep in mind, at the level of the paragraph:
Make sure your comments are relevant to the topic at hand: one way to do this is to make an outline of
each paragraph’s main idea; each one should clearly relate to the topic and focus/purpose or thesis of
your paper. It is writer’s responsibility to select relevant concepts or ideas, examples of research
findings from the week’s readings, and/or personal experiences and observations that relate directly to
the topic and purpose/focus of the paper. It is not appropriate to expect the reader to do this instead.
Remember, examples/research findings and personal experiences and observations are not “obviously”
evidence in support of your analysis until you explicitly explain how these examples/findings/
experiences/observations support the claims in your analysis.
Make sure each paragraph’s main idea is clearly connected to your thesis.
*Smoothly transition between paragraphs: connect first line of new paragraph with main idea of
previous paragraph.
*Stick to the facts at hand—do not overstate your case.
Things to keep in mind, at the level of the sentence:
*Tighten sentence structure: combine sentences when possible by eliminating redundant information.
*Employ p.

5.1 Introduction
Curriculum lies at the heart of educational policies and practices.
They are are highly political documents which convey ideological positions about
the type of education that should be given in different cultural contexts and the
citizenship values that can be shared by the citizen of a state (Apple, 2004).
Each society has its own values and beliefs which they want to be translated into
educational objectives via the curriculum.
“Curriculum is a comprehensive plan for an educational programme/institute/
course to offer new or improved manpower to accomplish the rising needs of a
dynamic society” (Pillai, 2015).

5.2 Definition of Curriculum Development
Curriculum development is defined as the process which is planned, purposeful,
progressive, and systematic in order to create positive improvements in the
educational system.
The curriculum is affected by any changes or developments that affect society
(Alvior, 2014).
It needs to correspond to those changes but at the same time to respect all
people despite of gender, ethnicity, disability, religion etc. (Symeonidou and
Mavrou, 2014).

Learning is intentional and contextual, and it involves developing systems and structures that not only allow but also encourage organization members to learn and grow together –to develop “communities of practice.”
-Preskill and Torres
The idea of a subject that calls to us is more than metaphor. In the community of truth, the knower is not the only active agent –the subject itself participates in the dialectic of knowing...geologists are people who hear rocks speak, historians are people who hear the voices of the long dead, writers are people who hear the music of words. The things of the world call to us, and we are drawn to them –each of us to different things, as each is drawn to different friends.
--Parker J. Palmer
Teaching is a complex, relational, and creative event. When I teach, I am simultaneously involved in several dynamic relations: with myself, with my everyday world, with my subject matter, and with my students. I cannot really teach if I am not engaged with my students or if my students are not involved with me.
--Carol S. Becker
The relationship between our physical constraints and the assertion of our freedom is not a 'problem' requiring a solution. It is simply the way human beings are. Our condition is to be ambiguous to the core, and our task is to learn to manage the movement and uncertainty in our existence, not banish it...the ambiguous human condition means tirelessly trying to take control of things. We have to do two near-impossible things at once: understand ourselves as limited by circumstances, and yet continue to pursue our projects as though we are truly in control.
--Sarah Bakewell
Course Description
Welcome to EDST 1100: “Situated Learning.” As described in the university calendar, the aims of this seminar are as follows:
“This course is framed around situated learning theories in relation to the provisioning of educational experiences in a variety of contexts (e.g., early familial experiences, formal educational experiences, cultural educational experiences, employment educational experiences). Students are first introduced to the major principles of families of learning theories (e.g., behaviourism, cognitivism, social learning theory, social constructivism). This introduction is followed by in-depth study of situated learning theory drawing from Lave and Wenger (1991) a seminal text in the field. Students engage in exploring exemplars of situated learning drawing from theory to understand the factors at play in the exemplars because, as situated learning theory would suggest, the representations of situated learning theory must be situated in relation to reference points. Given any particular learning engagement’s situational parameters, stu.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
