Youth and student leadership
The document discusses student governance and social media, using the Xavier University - Central Student Government (XU-CSG) as a model. It outlines how the XU-CSG uses social media like Facebook for transparent communication, consultation, mobilizing people, updating policies and events, addressing complaints, opinion polling, and multimedia. Key practices include forming the student government via Facebook, publishing meetings and finances online, allowing student input before meetings, naming a building based on a Facebook suggestion, and having departments and specific events on Facebook. The outcomes of these social media efforts are positive but not described. The document ends with tips for social media marketing and personal security online.

It focuses on opportunities for SBM-XU, including its large population, business administration and accounting courses, and potential for social entrepreneurship. It raises the question of how to effectively maximize influence towards the best possible result, and identifies knowledge generation, a microfinance support program, and social entrepreneurship building as areas to consider.
The Great Population Debate
The document discusses demographic transition, which is the process by which countries transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as part of economic development. It also discusses perspectives on population control and whether population growth is a real problem or not, mentioning both supporters and opponents of specific population control policies.
Human rights, the Local Government Code and the 2013 Elections
The document discusses the history of human rights and labor from ancient times through the modern era. It then outlines key provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, specifically addressing the right to participate in government. The remainder of the document discusses Naga City, Philippines as a model for implementing the principles of local government code, including empowering citizens, providing services, training youth, and prioritizing the marginalized.

Agus pulangui maris
The Agus-Pulangui hydro complexes in Mindanao cannot be privatized for at least 10 years after the effectivity of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) based on clear provisions in EPIRA. Privatizing the complexes could also negatively impact communities that depend on their water supply. Even after 10 years, it would be best to retain public ownership through a model where workers and consumers own the plants. Renegotiating or rescinding onerous independent power producer (IPP) contracts due to non-compliance could yield greater annual savings than selling the assets and would reduce universal charges more significantly.

Since 2010, the authors have been on the faculty of a HBCU located i.pdf
Since 2010, the authors have been on the faculty of a HBCU located in Georgia. The authors are
the only full-time faculty, thus are responsible for teaching all accounting courses. The failure
rate has average thirty-five (35%) percent. Failure is defined as a student receiving a grade of
“D”, “F” or “W” in an accounting course. This failure rate was unacceptable, thus a search begin
to explore ways of reducing this rate without compromising the academic integrity required to
prepare students to become an accountant. This study explores a new teaching model designed to
improve students’ technical competencies while increasing their critical thinking skills. What
adjustments to a classroom lesson plan and teaching strategy are useful to improve interpersonal
communication, creativity, reasoning and analytical abilities? Does improvements in
interpersonal communication, creativity, reasoning and analytical abilities require abandoning
the traditional teaching model? Critical thinking includes analyzing, conceptualizing, reasoning
and evaluating. Research finds that these skills can be developed in learners if teaching strategies
evolve beyond memorization (Reinstein,2008). Accounting graduates are expected to possess a
healthy dose of critical thinking skills. This study explores a teaching model reflective of
cognitive thinking. Cognitive teaching increases the need to compare, contrast, group, and
memorize relevant accounting concepts. The literature argues that students have considerable
difficulty in solving accounting problems that are slightly different than those presented in the
classroom, even though the same concepts are being covered. The Pathways Commission has
called for improvements in accounting curriculum and teaching techniques (Bloom, 2013). The
quality of future accountants will be shaped by a need for improvement in critical thinking skills.
The purpose of this paper is to convey the authors’ result of using the ABCs of accounting
teaching model. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM The accounting profession requires more
creativity and innovative thinking in order to be competitive. Much of the literature argues that
teaching models that require students to memorize accounting rules and procedures fail to
cultivate critical thinking in problem solving. The Bedford Committee (1986) asserts that the
traditional accounting lectures fail to stimulate creativity and innovative thinking. Thus student
are not educational ready to enter the profession. The Pathway’s Commission finds that
accounting programs are overly invested in outmoded models. Bloom (2013) finds that students
increasingly exhibit difficulty solving complex accounting problems. The goal of teaching
should always embrace a pedagogy designed to discover a higher order of thinking. Higher order
critical thinking can be achieved if the teaching approach gets it right. Such is the pursuit of this
study. The five step process for developing higher level critical thinking skills.

Tips to Help Students Be Independent Learners
The way in which people learn is changing. Today, companies request employees be prepared for any situation. Employers are now looking for people who are proactive towards independent learning. In other words, it is no longer enough to be an expert, it is necessary to be motivated and agile enough to adapt to unexpected changes. The truth is that learning should not be based solely on remembering material and applying it. The true study must be completely natural. Only in this way, students will be motivated enough to seek more knowledge.

- 3. Concern on prompt return of quizzes and exams Context CSG has been receiving complaints on teachers not returning quizzes and exams This is essential for students to calibrate their performances and know their standing Recommended Action The Department Chairs through the Deans shall review teachers who do not return quizzes from the complaint lists from students.
- 4. Activity Hour Reform Context Classes resume at 6:15 pm during Wednesdays cutting student’s participation in activities. The CSG finds activity hour as an essential and integral time slot that facilitates extra-curricular formation work. Masses are often times disturbed during activity hour (5:30-6:15) Recommended Action Explore the idea of extending Activity hour to 2 hours (benchmarking with other ateneos) Move activity hour from 6:15-7:15 pm to move 6 pm classes to 5-6 slots which means a relatively large number of blocks having a free time 6:15 onwards.
- 5. Review on ticket purchase as an academic requirement CONTEXT There are reports on departments requiring their students to purchase tickets. If they can’t purchase, they will get an INC. The CSG finds it as an unfair practice since it’s a captured market and something close to coercion not considering the financial capacity of students. Money is being handled by teachers themselves which might complicate the payment process
- 6. Recommended Action Set up a 3rd party (e.g. Dean’s Council) to approve a request from the department if such requirement arises with student representation Or explicitly mention it in the course syllabus at the beginning of the year Strictly follow that no teacher should hold any cash coming from the students
