...Kothari commission (1964-66) says “the destiny of India is being shaped in her class room”, for teachers play a crucial role to mould the students. Due to the low enrolment and high dropout, the quality and the future development become a serious problem confronting the country’s education system. However, the teacher believes they can make difference, change is possible and it is essential to develop an accurate understanding of the factors that influences the dropout of rural students at college level. Christenson & Thurlow (2004) and Dweck (1986) reveal that student dropout is an outcome derived from multiple factors that encompass student, institutional and socioeconomic aspects. Dweck (1986) also found that students perceive dropout as...

...Case Study Module 2 Lindsey M. Charbonneau Ashford University Abstract Case studies have been used throughout research for preparing all types of people for numerous types of situations they may come in contact with in the professional world. As educators it is important to stay atop of the latest research so we can be prepared to engulf any situation with care, intelligence, and the optimum outcome for the student. The following case studies show possible outcomes for two separate cases dealing with Raoul, a hard of hearing bilingual sweet third grader, and Joe, a tutored in reading pressured by his community involved parents. Both students need a lot of attention from not only the school staff but also their influencing outside forces to help them succeed with the goals each educator has set for them during the current school year. Below are three possible solutions that are very different but hold the very same goal, doing everything within the educator’s power to assist the student in their success. Case Study One Introduction In Level A, Case 1 we have Raoul. Raoul is nine years old and in the third grade. He is a bilingual student that is completely fluent in English and Spanish. Raoul is well liked by both his peers and staff, especially when is translating for his Cuban born parents. Raoul’s challenge in the classroom is due to his being hard of hearing. He has the most difficulty when information in the classroom is passed on partially or all orally. Case...

...Many Cypress College students are unaware of the benefits that the student services offer. The students go through college without knowing how much the services would have helped. Cypress College does not try to emphasize their services to the student population, so the services go hidden in plain sight. Cypress should take the initiative to make these amazing benefits of the student services known to each and every student. Several student services that Cypress College is offering and that will be discussed are: EOPS, Puente Program, Student Activities Center, and Health Center. EOPS, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, is a student service that is offered at Cypress College. It is located on the second floor of the complex building by the center stairs next to the slanted structure. The program offers book services, counseling, and workshops that will guide students to a successful college experience. It will allow the students to have an inexpensive and effortless time at the school.

Besides the vouchers, there is also a book loan service, but it is...

...A Case Study: A Focused Study of Homeless Students Toni R. Brent-Willis Capella University ED8102 – Introduction to Qualitative Research, Dr. Patricia Ryan August 4, 2013 Case study research is designed to bring a greater understanding of a specific phenomena or experience. It can also serve to deepen the understanding of an experience that is already known. Yin (1984) defines case study as research method as an empirical inquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context; when the boundaries between phenomenon and context are not clearly evident; and in which multiple sources of evidence are used (p. 23). It presents details on a bounded event or participant experiencing the event. Case study has its roots in anthropology, sociology, and psychology, but gained legitimacy as a valid methodology for use in other fields of study in the 1980’s. It is useful in close examination of existing phenomena of which in-depth study has not been done, or has un-explored areas. While case studies do fall within the category of qualitative research, they are used when attention to a specific subject, or participant will garnered information about a phenomena or experience that a wide study can not provide. Gobo (2004) writes that in some instances generalizations based on large samples are overrated and close attention to a limited number of participants is more reliable. Information on how or why a specific participant was able to navigate...

...Case Study for Student Analysis By Comm 215 Instructor: Introduction Carl Robbins is a new campus recruiter for ABC, Inc. Carl has been at his new job for only six months. This is the first time that he has run a recruitment effort. He was very successful and recruited 15 new employees in early April. The purpose of this analysis is to determine what issues could be improved and create an easier process for the new hire orientation. Background The research suggests that the main issue taking place is a lack of proper planning. There were many aspects of preparation process for the orientation that were overlooked or the amount of time required to completing the tasks was unknown or ignored. It would also appear that the fact that Mr. Robbins is new in his position as recruiter. His lack of “real world” experience could have caused him to under-estimate the amount of time that is required to prepare for orientation. Another issue that this analysis discovered is that Mr. Robbins was not aware of what condition his orientation manuals and that many were missing pages. This also caused Mr. Robbins added stress because he had to take time, which he didn’t have, to locate the missing pages and create new pages to be included in the manuals. Lack of experience and improper planning appears to be the main issues in this case. Key Problems There are some key issues that this case analysis will focus on. A large portion of the problem is a lack of experience...

...A Case Analysis of Carl Robins By: Paul Van Berkum Comm/215 April 6, 2015 Instructor: Gary Tandy A Case Analysis of Carl Robins Introduction: Utilizing a case analysis of Carl Robins, the new campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., we are going to examine the processes in which new recruits will be selected, hired, and processed for orientation in a timely manner. From this analysis, we will develop new processes as we identify key issues, evaluate alternative solutions, and present possible solution to the issue. Background: Carl is charged with hiring and assuring that all recruits complete all necessary requirements and are ready to begin orientation on June 15th. This being Carl's first recruitment effort and having been at his new position for only six months, he will need to be well organized and efficient at scheduling conflicts in order to accomplish his goals. Carl will be coordinating the needs of the new recruits as well as the needs of the company with Monica Carrolls, the Operations Supervisor. Key Problems: Carl is off to a great start as he has already hired 15 new trainees, but already, there are several problems. Carl has hired more people than he is prepared to accommodate. Because there wasn't a specified number of new recruits required, he discovers that he doesn't have enough materials to complete the orientation as scheduled and he hasn't acquired a facility large enough to accommodate the large number of new recruits. Additionally, he discovers...

...ISSUES IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION Vol. 26, No. 3 2011 pp. 609–618 American Accounting Association DOI: 10.2308/iace-50029 A Series of Revenue Recognition Research Cases Using the Codification R. Mark Alford, Teresa M. DiMattia, Nancy T. Hill, and Kevin T. Stevens ABSTRACT: This series of four short cases is designed to help students develop the skills to research the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification and other authoritative literature. It also is designed to help improve students’ ability to analyze and critique the complex issues that often surround the accounting for revenue recognition. The case scenarios describe transactions in which students must decide whether, when, and how much revenue to recognize. The issues analyzed involve bill-and-hold, multiple-element arrangements, gross versus net revenue reporting, and sales incentives. The cases are also designed to improve teamwork and communication skills. The sequence of cases is intended for use in an intermediate accounting class that covers revenue recognition, or in a capstone class that emphasizes critical thinking and research skills. Keywords: revenue; recognition; codification; research. INTRODUCTION evenue recognition is one of the top causes for financial statement restatements (Whitehouse 2010). In addition, revenue recognition is an area commonly questioned by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff in their review of public filings and resultant comment...

I have also cited any sources from which I used data, ideas of words, whether quoted directly or paraphrased. I also certify that this paper was prepared by me specifically for this course. Student Signature: z ******************************************* Instructor’s Grade on Assignment: Instructor’s Comments: The cases that we analyzed as a group as part of the class requirements were very interesting. I was able to relate to both cases especially due to the company I work for. Case number 1, was related on how to survive and adapt to a new market place. As the company I work expands, it continues to navigate and explore new markets with the different products it manufactures. Case number 2, concentrated on how pay attention to contracts and making sure one does its homework before making any type of decisions. I was able to learn from both cases different type of information system solutions and how to manage it. The group projects were very helpful by allowing us to learn how to communicate and work together as a long distance team. It was very hard at first, especially because one of the team member drop the course one week before our first project was due. However, we shined as a group and we were able to complete the project in a timely manner...

...Team Cases The cases are assigned for their ambiguity, i.e. solutions are not clear cut. These cases were real-life situations encountered by corporations. Since solutions were not clear cut, corporations approached accounting firms for guidance. Deloitte, Touche & Tohmatsu used these issues to compile a series of cases to provide students the opportunities to have a “hands-on” experience in how accounting firms go about looking for a solution. To assist students in completing the assignment, sample cases with solutions were posted. Students would need to use FASB Codification database (the same one used by accounting firms). You can access the database through: http://aaahq.org/ascLogin.cfm Userid: AAA52120 Password: 6HxBPpx The main purposes of the cases are: 1. Provide hands-on experience in using FASB Codification to research for accounting solutions. 2. Encourage team effort to examine possible solutions and come to a consensus well supported by accounting rules and pronouncements. There are many solutions to the cases, some better (or more in line with the pronouncements) than others. I look forward to your explorations with untainted young minds to come up with mesmerizing solutions. Any consultation with the instructor could bias your approach. It may even mislead the team to think that the discussion is about “the solution” and therefore negate the second purpose of this assignment. Students should study the sample solutions carefully and...

...Participants Sect 01 From: Dr. Keith C. Jones Re: Written Case Project Guidelines In addition to the Live Case, students will work on “written cases”. These cases are designed to provide the students the opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of all marketing related topics and issues. Each student, individually, is required to prepare a 2 to 3 page single spaced typed solution to the case. The solution should be in the format of an executive memo and be very strategic action oriented. If there are questions at the end of the case, unless otherwise directed, questions should only be used as guidelines. Answering only those questions will not be appropriate. The write-up is to be a “management directive” for the company. It should specifically state what the actions of the company should be to operate within the specific situation. This should not be a recantation of the case. On the case days, students will discuss each of their solutions in a simulated boardroom environment. There is no one set solution to the case. The success in this situation for the student is his or her ability to support their recommendations. Students should provide support as to why they feel their individual solution is appropriate. Students are not to “update” the case. Do not assume the actions taken from the time of the writing of the case by the company are the appropriate solutions/approaches to the case. This can be misleading and create myopia. Each write-up should...

............................................................................6 Conclusion..........................................................................................................................7 References.........................................................................................................................8 Abstract In most cases students find it hard to transition to more of an independent learning that is required in Higher Education. This is because there previous studies involved a more hands on approach from there learning staff that were there to help and explain every aspect of there program. Higher Education studies requires them to take there learning in there own hands, to be more self-directed, to make decisions about what they will focus on and how much time they will spend on learning both inside and outside the classroom. In this case international students find it most challenging to adapt to independent learning as in some cases there previous studies had more support and direction from there teachers. This is why they would need to understand that in order to achieve the most from...

...Syracuse had informed his students that if he caught any one of them texting or any other kind of misconduct; that he would leave the classroom. With that said, one of the students that sat in the front row of the classroom was caught texting. Once the professor saw, he immediately walked out of the classroom without a word said. Later on emailing his students, explaining to some extend why he left as well as leaving some comments that students found controversial. It was wrong of the professor to leave the classroom and cancel classes just because of some small issue. In the professor’s email that he sent to his students, he stated that the student whom sent the text message in class was Cuban. And that two other Latino students that had started playing tic-tac-toe in class the year before. By stating the fact that in both incidents where he has walked out on the class, it has been because of Latino students. This shows that the professor might have a bias feel towards Latino students. Racism is being showed against a certain race; even though he states that he is a “minority scholar himself”. Thomas also says that he is both black and Jewish although he does “not have the Jewish look”. There was no reason for the professor to state that the students are Latinos, unless he has a racial issue towards them. Thomas could have handled the issue in a much different way. He had no reason to leave the class immediately, just because of one student. There needs to be some...

...Every day, the average high school student walks into the most intense academic battlefield; a place where lying, cheating, and being a sycophant has become common resorts for people to finally reach the top of their class. If the student makes all the right moves at the right time, then they may have a slim shot at being valedictorian. Ranking students have been a part of the traditional high school system but in 2006, nearly 40 percent of all high schools had stopped ranking their students (Finder).Since then that number is only climbing. Although class ranking systems offer students an incentive to work hard, it may not be benefiting students because it is detrimental to their health, provides little to no practical assets in colleges,...
