Sentence Skills In an ACCUPLACER® placement test, there are 20 Sentence Skills questions of two types. • The first type is sentence correction questions that require an understanding of sentence structure. These questions ask you to choose the most appropriate word or phrase for the underlined portion of the sentence. • The second type is construction shift questions. These questions ask that a sentence be rewritten according to the criteria shown while maintaining essentially the same meaning as the original sentence. Within these two primary categories, the questions are also classified according to the skills being tested. Some questions deal with the logic of the sentence, others with whether or not the answer is a complete sentence, and still others with the relationship between coordination and subordination. 3.

...I am in my fourth semester at Bunker Hill Community College in Business major. I have been in the U.S. since December 2015. Like any immigrant, I know I will face lots of challenges that I am determined to overcome through education. I took the Accuplacer Placement test in the summer 2016 and got into BHCC English 111 in fall 2016. In the beginning, it was tough for me as English 111 was my first class in college. For my first paper, I got a D, and I was thinking about dropping all the classes as English 111 was required for all of them. I was a rough day for me. I left BHCC that day without taking my second class. When I reached home, I told myself I am a fighter; I can't give up. I started to feed my mind with positive thinking and was...

...That ball was supposed to be for the family, but it changed when Patterson came up to me and signed the ball to me specifically to which that ball became mine. Needless to say, after seeing what a TCU degree can lead to with my dad and this experience, this was my top school of choice for college. Unfortunately for me after graduating in 2012 I did not have the grades nor the ambition to go to college right away. During my last semester I failed an online course at the local community college Aims, so my funding went out the door. I ended up working for about a year and a half at Arby’s before realizing the goals I had in life required a degree of some kind. So, I chose to go back to Aims Community college and placed high enough on the accuplacer exam to not have to take any remedial courses and began taking classes with a new frame of mind. I stuck with it this time...

...DETAILED SOLUTIONS AND CONCEPTS - FORMULAS AND WORD PROBLEMS Prepared by Ingrid Stewart, Ph.D., College of Southern Nevada Please Send Questions and Comments to ingrid.stewart@csn.edu. Thank you! PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CANNOT USE A CALCULATOR ON THE ACCUPLACER ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA TEST! YOU MUST BE ABLE TO DO THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS WITHOUT A CALCULATOR! Formula rearrangement refers to isolating a letter term other than the one already isolated in the formula. Solving formulas in the manner often shortens our work when doing repeated formula evaluations. After we solve the formula for the desired variable, we rewrite the formula with the variable on the left side for convenience and for use in electronic spreadsheets. Problem 1: Solve the "mark up" formula M = S - C for S. To solve the equation above, we will use the Addition Axiom to isolate the variable S by "moving" all terms associated with S by addition away from the variable. The variable associated with S by addition is C. Therefore, we must add C to both sides of the equation. M+C=S-C+C and M + C = S Finally, we rewrite the formula with S on the left S=M+C Problem 2: Solve the interest formula I = PRT for R. It stands for Interest = Principal Time. Rate To solve the equation above, we will use the Multiplication Axiom to isolate the variable R by "moving" all terms associated with R by addition away from the variable. The variables associated by multiplication with R are P T or PT. Therefore...

...Factors in Student Motivation Authored by: Steven C. Howey Educators across the country are frustrated with the challenge of how to motivate the ever increasing number of freshmen students entering college who are psychologically, socially, and academically unprepared for the demands of college life. Such students often exhibit maladaptive behavior such as tardiness, hostility towards authority, and unrealistic aspirations. The standard approach is to address the problem as an academic issue through remedial or developmental instruction. Developmental education programs however do not address the whole problem. Lack of motivation is not limited to the academically weak student. Successful remedial and study strategies courses aimed at the underprepared student have demonstrated that students who really want to improve their skills can do so when motivated. However, even the best remedial instruction programs have failed to positively impact the student who is both underprepared academically and unmotivated. When students have both a lack of academic skills and lack motivation, the greater problem is motivation (Kelly, 1988). Faculty often have neither the time or inclination to address difficult motivational issues in the classroom, consequently, the task of trying to effectively motivate such students often falls to academic advisors. Opinions about the role of motivation in academic achievement and what can be done about it vary widely among college faculty, administrators...
