A Career As A University Honors Student
When I heard about this program I was immediately drawn to it, because I am the type of person
who wants to stand out (in a good way of course). Being accepted into the University Honors
Program at TAMIU will provide me with the experience and knowledge that I need to pursue my
career as an engineer. As an honors student, I will be able to enhance my communication, research,
and leadership skills, which not only will assist me through college, but through my career life as
well. I will be able to challenge myself through these courses, thus, making me a better and more
responsible student. I have no doubt in my abilities to maintain a high GPA, and I believe I will
benefit from the supplementary educational benefits when I transfer to A&M College

Wayne State University Student Analysis
The Wayne State University School of Medicine has become a top choice medical school for myself
due to their focuses on leadership in medicine, community mentoring and outreach, and service
based learning. Centered within the urban and evolving city of Detroit, the Wayne State University
School of Medicine affords its students the chance to receive their education in, and provide service
within, a very rich and diverse patient population. Being immersed within, experiencing, and

Students At The University Of Alabama
The number of students attending the University of Alabama has reached a new high of 37,100. That
number is a 2.4% increase from 2014 (uanews.ua.edu). As the number of students is predicted only
to increase in the years to come, the University must reflect on the housing options for these 37,100
students. Freshman students required to live on campus face a difficult situation––lack of housing.
With that being said, the best and most efficient way to cope with the ever growing population is to
allow freshmen to live off campus, and build more apartments around campus to allow thousands of
more students to have places to live in the future. Providing housing on campus for nearly 8,000
freshman students is nearly impossible. The Presidential Villages house 1,840 students. Blout,
Bryant, Bryce Lawn, Burke, Friedman, The Highlands, Lakeside, Parham, Paty, Ridgecrest,
Riverside, Somerville, and Tutwiler house roughly 5,000 more students. These freshman options
barely fit the ever growing number of new students coming to Alabama. The University of Alabama
board of trustees recently approved a $124 million dollar project to tear down and rebuild Julia
Tutwiler Dorms. The dorm currently houses 1,000 freshman girls. The Tutwiler Dorms are due to be
torn down at the end of the 2017 Spring Semester. The new building is scheduled to be finished in

Students At The University Limits
Universities have thousands of students, so it is surprising to notice how individuals typically do not
connect with more than a handful of people. Most people limit themselves to a group of friends with
similar interests or a similar field of study. This comfort zone which students prefer to stay in
throughout their stay in university limits the students and results in negative outcomes. Students
reduce themselves to knowing a few people and lessen their range of connections and knowledge.
This results in a student who may not be well–rounded and has an insufficient amount of network of
acquaintances to aid them in future projects. The issue at hand revolves around the fact that people
naturally prefer to self segregate themselves into small cliques with similar interests rather than
broadening their friend base. College is a place to grow in both an intellectual and psychological
way, and if students exclude themselves from making new connections they are interrupting the
growing process. This then results in a graduate with few connections and who is not well rounded
and unprepared for the real world. If the issue is remedied it will result in students who are more
knowledgeable and are better with connecting with other individuals. As a result, when a student
graduates college they will not only leave with a mind filled with knowledge but also with a social
circle filled with connections and a life of opportunities.

Students At The University Of Wisconsin Madison
Students often do not take advantage of the opportunities available to them in the wider community
because of a wide variety of engagement and extra–curricular opportunities offered on college
campuses.
Students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison can take advantage of the campus' urban location
to explore and build connections with the local community, in addition to furthering skills gained
from the classroom.
At college, students are often surrounded by others who are similar to them – mostly between ages
of 18 and 22, pursuing a college education and beyond. The homogeneity within the campus bubble
can make students forget what the real world is like.
"You're really missing something if you just come here for school and you don't step off of campus
and explore living in a brand new place on your own," Ashley Viager, Assistant Director of
Chadbourne Residential College, said.
It is also important to understand that community extends beyond campus to the entire city,
Stephanie Harrill, Badger Volunteers director, said. This is especially beneficial during a time of
growth and development at a higher education institution. This kind of awareness allows for
students to not only make the best out of their college experience but also contribute and help their

Debt. Decline. Unacceptance. These things are caused by universities limiting their in–state students

schools can spend their money more wisely. Universities must not limit their in–state students since

"Increasing tuition is not popular" among institutes, and can harm the underprivileged, "but it's not a
bad approach if there are other built–in protections for low– and middle–income students"
(Johnson). As a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, Johnson is qualified to talk
about universities becoming in a budgetary bind and wanting more out–of–state residents to attend
their university, while also stating that if colleges increase their tuition it can aid more in–state
students into being accepted. Educational institutes spend an abundance amount of money on
pointless things they don't need, instead they should be saving that money to help fill the budget gap
the university has accumulated. While some people might say out–of–students pay more tuition and
can help solve the university's debt by accepting more out–of–state, however; it doesn't get the
college completely out of debt and they can simply increase the tuition for in and out–of–state to get

Statement of the Problem
As an increasing number of non–native English–speaking post–secondary students enroll in United
States post–secondary institutions, research shows that faculty are not well–prepared to address their
academic writing errors. Based upon the background of the problem, non–TESOL trained native
post–secondary faculty lack both the knowledge and the sense of agency regarding assessment and
treatment of their non–native English–speaking students' academic writing errors. As such, non–
TESOL trained faculty may not even address errors when assessing typical NNES student academic
writing, potentially stunting the NNES students' academic writing progression (Haswell, 1998;
Janopoulos, 1992; Jenkins, Jordan, & Weiland, 1993). These faculty members may also overlook or
have an inconsistent view of NNES plagiarism consequences, or even viewed as a developmental
stage in NNES writing or that NNES writers have not been 'normed' to the academic standards of
the United States (Park, 2003; Keck, 2006; Ellery, 2008). Some faculty disagree over the penalty
that should be assigned to plagiarism, particularly when it comes to students who have not

attempted to define what aspects of student housing influence a person's satisfaction with that
particular housing situation. The study consisted of a quantitative survey of university students
which emphasized five aspects of student housing and asked them to rate their importance. In the
end the researchers discovered that the type of ownership was the most important factor in a
student's satisfaction followed by the quality of the housing and its location. The authors stated that
the purpose of their research was to discover a "better understanding of which aspects influence
students' housing satisfaction in Trondheim, Norway." (Thomsen, 2010, p.273) The first thing that
they discovered was that students have a varied definition of satisfaction when it comes to their
housing. Different social groups tend to rate satisfaction not in comparison with the average in
society but with what they are familiar with in their particular social group. Therefore, students from
different social and economic backgrounds show different levels of satisfaction with the same

With diversity being such a touchy subject, when teaching my students I would have to be careful to
not exclude, but include each and every student into the class. Making sure that all of my students
feel accepted, I will try my hardest to understand their views. In order to have a supportive amount
of diversity in my classroom, I will make sure to recognize any biases or stereotypes that my
students may have absorbed. This can be reconciled by having a discussion based on the
assumptions that they might have. I could even have them do some type of writing assignment to see
their points of views about stereotypes. Stereotypes form from the unknown of something. So it
would be my job to inform my students about any questions that they may have. Next, I would treat
each student as an individual, and respect each one for who he or she is. Once students realize that
the teacher accepts them for who they are, they are bound to do the same for other students. I've

Pros And Cons Of University Students
The government of Japan mentioned, "Approximately 40% of university students in the United
States and about 30% of European college students have experienced part–time jobs, whereas about
70% of Japanese university students experience part–time jobs." (Cabinet Office, Government of
Japan). Surprisingly, this is true, and this is normally happened in Japan because Japanese students
think not having a job while they are studying in schools seems like being lazy. Recently, there was
a problem, which was posted on SNS where a company was bankrupted by their employees who
were university students because they posted photos, which were inappropriate. Therefore, we need
to think about whether students should work in companies or not since they do not have an enough
maturity. In other words, in Japan, this is highly common that High School students or university
students work in the real society to get some experiences from their part–time jobs. However, there
are three drawbacks to work as not full–time jobs in Japan when they are students.
The strongest reason about disagreeing with working for students is lack of responsibility. In fact,
there were at least 5 cases of troubling that young employees caused big damage to the companies

2. Body
2.1 History of Housing opened
The university opened the housing facilities for the students first time in its 10–year history for the
students for the 2011–12 academic year. The building location was across the Market Street from the
academic tower. "University spokesman Steve Infanti said the school expects to house up to 100 of
its 822 full– and part–time students in the building, which the school is operating under lease from
city developer Dan Deitchman.
Renovations are under way at the former Governor Hotel building at the southwest corner of Market
and Fourth streets. But Infanti said each finished unit will have standard school–provided
furnishings, carpeting and window blinds, as well as Wi–Fi internet service. There also will be
shared laundry and common areas, though residents will be on their own for meals, which Infanti
said in itself should provide a jolt worth several hundred thousand dollars annually to the downtown
economy" (C.T., 2017).
2.2 Current Status of Student Housing

Students attending universities, with the emphasis switching from only focusing on academic
experience to combining academic and social performance together. This study is an investigation of
the GPA, family background and demographic predictors of being leaders in the student association
for Chinese university students in elite universities. Questionnaires data were collected from 1661
students in four elite universities in 2013 to 2015. The GPA was identified as the most significant
predictor of being a leader in the student association. Integration into the family background, family

Meanwhile, it is hard to deny that family background has a crucial impact on students' leadership.
Due to the household registration policy, the unequally distributed resources between rural and
urban area lead to the gaps in cultural, social and economic capitals between rural and urban
residents. Li (2013) explains that inadequacy in the capitals in family constraints alienate students
from disadvantaged groups to the 'consecrated ' university activities. Gao et al. (2011) find that
students from high–income family have bigger odds of receiving awards and participating in
activities in the school. Therefore, it is necessary to analysis the impact of family background on
students' leadership.
Research Problem:
Does an increase in students' GPA predict an increase in the changes of being a leader of student
association at elite universities when controlling for students' family background?
Methods:
The data of this paper are coming from a longitudinal study on a group of undergraduate students at
four large, research–intensive, elite public universities in China. Designed and conducted by a team
at the University of Hong Kong, the study used a multi–stage, proportionate stratified sampling
method to draw a random sample of college students based on the student enrollment record. All

Student Retention in Universities
Over half of first time undergraduate students fail to obtain a degree within a six year time period.
Premature exit of university students has stumped even the most dedicated analysts. Extensive
theories have surfaced in an effort to elucidate student attrition. Vincent Tinto constructed new trains
of thought with his avant–garde study in 2001. Tinto was led to revise his work in 2005 in the midst
of criticism competing theorists. These scholars set the precedent for modern research conducted in
the field of student attrition. Upon review of literature, compelling similarities and criticisms are
contrived around the same basic theories.
Primitive information existed before examination under Tinto. In fact, most other subsequent studies
reference and base their theories off his perceived models. Other theorists such as Gary Metz believe
that Tinto's work is actually derived from Rites of Passage, by Arnold Gennep. Concentrating on the
anthropological aspect of homosapien rites of passage, Gennep's observations explicate common
human behavior exhibited throughout the college experience. Tinto reflects a specific segment of the
book encompassing initiation rites. This segment allegates that "'physiological puberty' and 'social

Should Students Attend College Or University?
80% of students who want to attend college or university cannot on their own funds (CNBC, 2013).
Students have to rely on government or private loans and other resources to get them started in
college. Students who live in the community of state colleges may want to attend but do not know
how they would get there. Do not be like others, make a change. Students should be given the
opportunity to live their dreams doing what they aspire whether affordable or exorbitant.
What is the best way for a student to attend college. Is it lost cost, student loans or maybe
thoroughly paying for college yourself? If you had a chance to pay for college another way, which
way would you choose? The best way for many students would be free. Not every student has the
funds to obtain a college education, let alone be successful enough to stay in college. Students will
also have better opportunities to finish their college education without having to hassle with the
burden of debt.
Although some students do not have the funds to retain a higher education, accomplishing this will
be facile. Students suffer trying to get their education when payment becomes their priority.
Therefore, students should attend state colleges for free. This is necessary because students do not
need to struggle trying to decipher how they're going to pay for college. In addition, If students do
not retain a college education, they will be forced to work in a high school´s diploma´s career.

Similarly, Ajuluchukwu 1962 (as cited in Onwuejeogwu, 1991) note that from the inception, the
National Union of Nigerian Students (NUNS) embarked upon deliberate campaigns of fostering
national consciousness and inspiring a strong sense of militancy in the Nigerian people's liberation
struggle (Aluede, 1995; Babatope, 1974). Babatope (1974) and Onwuejeogwu (1991) note that the
students' union was born and nurtured in the womb of colonial protest. Hence student unionism was
more of a protest union rather than student union, which was aimed at far reaching changes in the
society. One incident of student unrest in 1960 was essentially due to students' dissatisfaction with
government insensitivity to national issues, and its inability to address them appropriately. Nigerian
students aware of the British government's intention to establish a military base in Nigeria and by so
doing perpetuate a neo–colonial state, decided to stage a protest against the

Changing environment and adapting to wider responsibility is one of the numerous challenges faced
by university students. College life can be considered an important transition period where an
individual experience various new things for the first time, for instance new pattern of life style,
liberation to foreign cultures, roommates, colleagues and even meeting people of different
perspectives [5]. The adjustment expands from communicating with new peers and colleague up to
academic and time management. The university environment calls for adjustments to the students in
all aspects. For the students who are actively involved in extra–curricular activities in their high
school years will have to do extra–time management so that they can still enjoy activities without
putting their academic performance at a critical state. Another very common burden hurdled by
students is the budget allocation for both food consumption as well as the daily demands for school

Student Athletes For The University Of Ohio
Secondly, for student athletes who practice a sport and attend classes, it is often difficult to complete
both tasks. Many students begin to show less motivation making it harder to stay focus and attend
their required classes. This is the case of student– athlete Cardale Jones, a quarterback for the
University of Ohio. After taking his sociology final exam, he commented that coming to class was
pointless when his only responsibility was to play football for the university (Tracy 1). Student
athletes start to show poor academic achievement when they consume a lot of time in their sports
and often forget about their role of being a student. For instance, when students are not able to
complete their school assignments during the day they decide to study late and do not sleep the
necessary hours they need in order for their bodies to function and their brains to focus. In this case,
the poor achievement in students is notable because they do not perform well in school and do not
have a good nutrition. They often do not have time to eat the required three meals a day that their
bodies need. The poor academic achievement is often noticeable when many coaches begin to tell
their athletes that they are not allowed to take classes that interfere with practice. This puts athletes
in a barrier when they have to balance the two roles of responsibility of attending class and
completing homework assignments and attending the games. Student athletes have a poor mental

Statistics have shown that 1,000,000 international students are enrolled at universities in the United

international students can get overlooked because at many universities they are in the minority. Even
though there are many differences between non international and international students, we all share
one purpose; to get an education at a university in the United States of America. If an international
student is at a university in America, in most cases you can assume they are there for a purpose. For
international students, they are in a complete different country than their family. Most students
would not do that, unless they have a purpose in doing it. Most international students come to the

A Career As A University Honors Student

  • 1. A Career As A University Honors Student When I heard about this program I was immediately drawn to it, because I am the type of person who wants to stand out (in a good way of course). Being accepted into the University Honors Program at TAMIU will provide me with the experience and knowledge that I need to pursue my career as an engineer. As an honors student, I will be able to enhance my communication, research, and leadership skills, which not only will assist me through college, but through my career life as well. I will be able to challenge myself through these courses, thus, making me a better and more responsible student. I have no doubt in my abilities to maintain a high GPA, and I believe I will benefit from the supplementary educational benefits when I transfer to A&M College ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Wayne State University Student Analysis The Wayne State University School of Medicine has become a top choice medical school for myself due to their focuses on leadership in medicine, community mentoring and outreach, and service based learning. Centered within the urban and evolving city of Detroit, the Wayne State University School of Medicine affords its students the chance to receive their education in, and provide service within, a very rich and diverse patient population. Being immersed within, experiencing, and understanding the diversities of others allows for students and professionals alike to find their identities, meanings, and purposes through connections with people in all walks of life.

  • 5. Students At The University Of Alabama The number of students attending the University of Alabama has reached a new high of 37,100. That number is a 2.4% increase from 2014 (uanews.ua.edu). As the number of students is predicted only to increase in the years to come, the University must reflect on the housing options for these 37,100 students. Freshman students required to live on campus face a difficult situation––lack of housing. With that being said, the best and most efficient way to cope with the ever growing population is to allow freshmen to live off campus, and build more apartments around campus to allow thousands of more students to have places to live in the future. Providing housing on campus for nearly 8,000 freshman students is nearly impossible. The Presidential Villages house 1,840 students. Blout, Bryant, Bryce Lawn, Burke, Friedman, The Highlands, Lakeside, Parham, Paty, Ridgecrest, Riverside, Somerville, and Tutwiler house roughly 5,000 more students. These freshman options barely fit the ever growing number of new students coming to Alabama. The University of Alabama board of trustees recently approved a $124 million dollar project to tear down and rebuild Julia Tutwiler Dorms. The dorm currently houses 1,000 freshman girls. The Tutwiler Dorms are due to be torn down at the end of the 2017 Spring Semester. The new building is scheduled to be finished in 2020. The new building will include a parking deck and be able to house almost 2,000 women. The board also approved of new dorms to be built ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. Students At The University Limits Universities have thousands of students, so it is surprising to notice how individuals typically do not connect with more than a handful of people. Most people limit themselves to a group of friends with similar interests or a similar field of study. This comfort zone which students prefer to stay in throughout their stay in university limits the students and results in negative outcomes. Students reduce themselves to knowing a few people and lessen their range of connections and knowledge. This results in a student who may not be well–rounded and has an insufficient amount of network of acquaintances to aid them in future projects. The issue at hand revolves around the fact that people naturally prefer to self segregate themselves into small cliques with similar interests rather than broadening their friend base. College is a place to grow in both an intellectual and psychological way, and if students exclude themselves from making new connections they are interrupting the growing process. This then results in a graduate with few connections and who is not well rounded and unprepared for the real world. If the issue is remedied it will result in students who are more knowledgeable and are better with connecting with other individuals. As a result, when a student graduates college they will not only leave with a mind filled with knowledge but also with a social circle filled with connections and a life of opportunities. Discussion of the Issue There is a social event ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 9. Students At The University Of Wisconsin Madison Students often do not take advantage of the opportunities available to them in the wider community because of a wide variety of engagement and extra–curricular opportunities offered on college campuses. Students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison can take advantage of the campus' urban location to explore and build connections with the local community, in addition to furthering skills gained from the classroom. At college, students are often surrounded by others who are similar to them – mostly between ages of 18 and 22, pursuing a college education and beyond. The homogeneity within the campus bubble can make students forget what the real world is like. "You're really missing something if you just come here for school and you don't step off of campus and explore living in a brand new place on your own," Ashley Viager, Assistant Director of Chadbourne Residential College, said. It is also important to understand that community extends beyond campus to the entire city, Stephanie Harrill, Badger Volunteers director, said. This is especially beneficial during a time of growth and development at a higher education institution. This kind of awareness allows for students to not only make the best out of their college experience but also contribute and help their communities to better the environment around them. Community engagement also gives students the opportunity to apply theoretical concepts into the real world to consolidate knowledge in a way that classroom ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It is important that all members that are going to be on the tour will be transported safely and properly with either the help of the YMCA or our group members. Mercyhurst University and our group that will be representing the university should be held responsible in providing accurate and motivational information to the group as a way of upholding the mercy core values we stand for and perpetuating an image that is appropriate to the institution. This project is going to involve us as a group walking around campus in which the participants and Mercyhurst University students could be subject to personal injuries, property losses, or damage in connection with the activity of the visit. It is important that the teenagers abide by all the rules and regulations of the University, behave in a respectful manner, and be attentive to the message we are trying to convey to them. Although it is important for the group to enjoy themselves while on campus, it is more important that they learn, make connections, and realize the importance of higher education and its benefits to their own individual ...

After being able to experience Grady first hand, I left feeling eager for the opportunity to serve at this hospital and confident that I would learn much more than medicine there.

During my visit, hearing current students share their early patient interactions during "Week on the Wards" as well as their outpatient clinical experiences inspired and energized me. I noted the genuine excitement and camaraderie the Emory students had while their fellow classmates shared their own individual experiences. It became clear to me that the collaborative atmosphere is not only present but also encouraged at Emory. The new curriculum's preparation for residency, including finishing all of the core rotations before applying for residency in addition to the month long capstone, is more thorough than most and ideally designed to help me make a more informed decision regarding my match preference. The discovery phase is a uniquely important aspect to Emory's curriculum as well. During my undergraduate career, I worked two years on graduate research projects and look forward to finding my passion at Emory in my own research.

Schools must not limit their budget gaps by limiting their in–state students since it leads to less people achieving a higher education, it doesn't solve the money gap completely, and schools can spend their money more wisely. Universities must not limit their in–state students since it leads to less people achieving a higher education. For instance, Marguerite Roza explains that "lower in–state tuition prices aren't any good if in–state students aren't allowed to pay them"(Roza). Roza states that students can not pay their lower college tuition since they don't even go to college in state. In–state tuition is cheaper than ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... "Increasing tuition is not popular" among institutes, and can harm the underprivileged, "but it's not a bad approach if there are other built–in protections for low– and middle–income students" (Johnson). As a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, Johnson is qualified to talk about universities becoming in a budgetary bind and wanting more out–of–state residents to attend their university, while also stating that if colleges increase their tuition it can aid more in–state students into being accepted. Educational institutes spend an abundance amount of money on pointless things they don't need, instead they should be saving that money to help fill the budget gap the university has accumulated. While some people might say out–of–students pay more tuition and can help solve the university's debt by accepting more out–of–state, however; it doesn't get the college completely out of debt and they can simply increase the tuition for in and out–of–state to get more money and assist students into getting a higher education by doing so.

The Importance Of Education In Post-University Students proficiency issue because these communities vary and each discipline has its own standards and traditions (Angelova & Riazansteva, 1998). As NNES students come from all over the world, their relationship with texts, data, and information sources vary due to each individual student's influence circle, type of media they have (or have not) been exposed to, and the culture and history of their country (Fox, 1994). Typical solutions to this issue, according to Badenhorst, Moloney, Rosales, Dyer, and Ru (2015), have been to require students to enroll in add–on classes in academic writing or speaking, or to direct them to workshops to help improve their linguistic proficiency.

Statement of the Problem As an increasing number of non–native English–speaking post–secondary students enroll in United States post–secondary institutions, research shows that faculty are not well–prepared to address their academic writing errors. Based upon the background of the problem, non–TESOL trained native post–secondary faculty lack both the knowledge and the sense of agency regarding assessment and treatment of their non–native English–speaking students' academic writing errors. As such, non– TESOL trained faculty may not even address errors when assessing typical NNES student academic writing, potentially stunting the NNES students' academic writing progression (Haswell, 1998; Janopoulos, 1992; Jenkins, Jordan, & Weiland, 1993). These faculty members may also overlook or have an inconsistent view of NNES plagiarism consequences, or even viewed as a developmental stage in NNES writing or that NNES writers have not been 'normed' to the academic standards of the United States (Park, 2003; Keck, 2006; Ellery, 2008).

  • 25. Student Housing Satisfaction: A Quantitative Survey of... Student Housing Satisfaction (Order 2101034) College is usually the first time an individual child leaves home and lives on their own, but what are the factors that make an individual student satisfied with their living situation? In the article titled "Aspects of student housing satisfaction: a quantitative study," the researchers attempted to define what aspects of student housing influence a person's satisfaction with that particular housing situation. The study consisted of a quantitative survey of university students which emphasized five aspects of student housing and asked them to rate their importance. In the end the researchers discovered that the type of ownership was the most important factor in a student's satisfaction followed by the quality of the housing and its location. The authors stated that the purpose of their research was to discover a "better understanding of which aspects influence students' housing satisfaction in Trondheim, Norway." (Thomsen, 2010, p.273) The first thing that they discovered was that students have a varied definition of satisfaction when it comes to their housing. Different social groups tend to rate satisfaction not in comparison with the average in society but with what they are familiar with in their particular social group. Therefore, students from different social and economic backgrounds show different levels of satisfaction with the same housing situation. With this in mind the researchers developed a survey which ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Actions like these cast a heavy shadow onto the school and student body alike. With such an event causing a multitude of protests and general outrage, the administrators should have taken action, whether it be themselves or for them to let the student body decide.

With diversity being such a touchy subject, when teaching my students I would have to be careful to not exclude, but include each and every student into the class. Making sure that all of my students feel accepted, I will try my hardest to understand their views. In order to have a supportive amount of diversity in my classroom, I will make sure to recognize any biases or stereotypes that my students may have absorbed. This can be reconciled by having a discussion based on the assumptions that they might have. I could even have them do some type of writing assignment to see their points of views about stereotypes. Stereotypes form from the unknown of something. So it would be my job to inform my students about any questions that they may have. Next, I would treat each student as an individual, and respect each one for who he or she is. Once students realize that the teacher accepts them for who they are, they are bound to do the same for other students. I've noticed that people, in general, are in need of that acceptance from others and if they don't receive it they start to feel inferior. Lastly, I will be even–handed towards all of my students.

Pros And Cons Of University Students The government of Japan mentioned, "Approximately 40% of university students in the United States and about 30% of European college students have experienced part–time jobs, whereas about 70% of Japanese university students experience part–time jobs." (Cabinet Office, Government of Japan). Surprisingly, this is true, and this is normally happened in Japan because Japanese students think not having a job while they are studying in schools seems like being lazy. Recently, there was a problem, which was posted on SNS where a company was bankrupted by their employees who were university students because they posted photos, which were inappropriate. Therefore, we need to think about whether students should work in companies or not since they do not have an enough maturity. In other words, in Japan, this is highly common that High School students or university students work in the real society to get some experiences from their part–time jobs. However, there are three drawbacks to work as not full–time jobs in Japan when they are students. The strongest reason about disagreeing with working for students is lack of responsibility. In fact, there were at least 5 cases of troubling that young employees caused big damage to the companies such as convenience store, restaurant and pizza shop.

These scholars set the precedent for modern research conducted in the field of student attrition. Upon review of literature, compelling similarities and criticisms are contrived around the same basic theories. Primitive information existed before examination under Tinto. In fact, most other subsequent studies reference and base their theories off his perceived models. Other theorists such as Gary Metz believe that Tinto's work is actually derived from Rites of Passage, by Arnold Gennep.

Students should be given the opportunity to live their dreams doing what they aspire whether affordable or exorbitant. What is the best way for a student to attend college. Is it lost cost, student loans or maybe thoroughly paying for college yourself? If you had a chance to pay for college another way, which way would you choose? The best way for many students would be free. Not every student has the funds to obtain a college education, let alone be successful enough to stay in college. Students will also have better opportunities to finish their college education without having to hassle with the burden of debt.

  • 72. Elon University Student Analysis Throughout my college search, I have been looking for a school that possesses the qualities that are of utmost importance to me. I want a medium–sized school that acts as a "tight–knit" community with excellent academics and limitless opportunities. Upon entering Elon University for the first time, I felt as if I were home even though I was miles away from Uxbridge, Massachusetts. During my tour, I saw all those qualities in Elon and I was able to envision myself growing as a student and professional. I have never been able to conceptualized myself anywhere else as strongly as I did here. The acorn tradition at Elon University truly captured the essence that the campus exudes. The idea of being presented with an acorn as a freshman then ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The many clubs and organizations I could be a part of would give me the capability to expand my leadership skills and would help me become a pioneer in innovative thinking. At Elon, I would be viewed as a person, not a number. Because of small class sizes and the emphasis on the individual student, I am reassured that my professors will be there for me throughout my academic successes and failures. I felt valued and encouraged to broaden my horizons while I was exploring the campus on the tour. It is not easy for me to partake and contribute in classroom discussions, which has caused me to struggle throughout my academic career. Upon meeting the faculty with whom I could potentially be engaging with, I knew I could exceed my knowledge, grasp the ideology within the classroom by relating it to the outside world, and grow as a student and professional. Elon University is the university for me, which is why I am applying for Early Decision. I cannot see myself elsewhere and if given the opportunity, I could improve myself in many different aspects of my life. I knew I was home at Elon University and I know Elon will assist me in the developmental process of my future ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 74. Student Athletes For The University Of Ohio Secondly, for student athletes who practice a sport and attend classes, it is often difficult to complete both tasks. Many students begin to show less motivation making it harder to stay focus and attend their required classes. This is the case of student– athlete Cardale Jones, a quarterback for the University of Ohio. After taking his sociology final exam, he commented that coming to class was pointless when his only responsibility was to play football for the university (Tracy 1). Student athletes start to show poor academic achievement when they consume a lot of time in their sports and often forget about their role of being a student. For instance, when students are not able to complete their school assignments during the day they decide to study late and do not sleep the necessary hours they need in order for their bodies to function and their brains to focus. In this case, the poor achievement in students is notable because they do not perform well in school and do not have a good nutrition. They often do not have time to eat the required three meals a day that their bodies need. The poor academic achievement is often noticeable when many coaches begin to tell their athletes that they are not allowed to take classes that interfere with practice. This puts athletes in a barrier when they have to balance the two roles of responsibility of attending class and completing homework assignments and attending the games. Student athletes have a poor mental and physical body ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 76. California Baptist University Student Analysis My personal experience as an undergraduate has shaped and shifted my career path and interests as it does for some traditional undergraduates, but for me it was not particular class or passionate professor that inspired my new found interest, but rather, my experience outside the classroom. My interaction with the staff at Arizona State University and my involvement as a student leader has had a profound influence on my college experience and has driven me to pursue a career in higher education. As a first year student, I quickly found my niche by joining an on–campus student leadership group called the Programming and Activities Board (PAB). PAB was a student leadership group that worked on establishing community on campus by planning and coordinating on–campus student events. It was here that I had the opportunity to work and interact with the student affairs office and really understand how building community and developing a student's leadership ability can really transform a student My involvement with the PAB had evolved into numerous student leader positions ranging from the residence hall association and student orientation leader to my position as a residential college peer leader, a position that allowed to mentor students who lived ...

A biblical perspective gives a sure foundation and a strong set of values for any career and higher education is no exception. I want to be taught in a way that can impact the higher education field for Christ, not only to fulfill the great commission that we as believer that have been entrusted with, but also to help and develop those who have already begun their spiritual walk with Christ, including myself.

  • 78. International And International Students At Universities All over most college campuses there is a group of students that commonly get over looked; the international students. International students make up a good majority of a lot of college campuses. Statistics have shown that 1,000,000 international students are enrolled at universities in the United States of America (Migration Policy Institute). I chose to observe a group of international students at universities, because this is a topic that is of interest to me. Since international students are so common at universities, they play a big part in our society. It does seem that possibly at times, international students can get overlooked because at many universities they are in the minority. Even though there are many differences between non international and international students, we all share one purpose; to get an education at a university in the United States of America. If an international student is at a university in America, in most cases you can assume they are there for a purpose. For international students, they are in a complete different country than their family. Most students would not do that, unless they have a purpose in doing it. Most international students come to the states to get better quality education, so they can have a future with better opportunities. People's view on international students, in most cases would completely depend on the person. It seems that most people have some level of respect for them considering the sacrifices that they make ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
