...COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS OF THE TRANSFER PROCESS TO A FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY by ELIZABETH E. SACKSTEDER LACLAIR A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Education in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Elizabeth E. Sacksteder LaClair 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Utilizing the current literature base on rural community colleges, transfer student adjustment, academic advising and articulation issues, the purpose of this research study was to ascertain the adjustment issues and experiences of rural community college students who have the intent to transfer to a four-year baccalaureate degree granting institution. The perceptions these rural community college students have regarding the transfer process are the focus of the study. Students from ten rural community colleges, who participated in the Alabama College Transfer Advising Corps, a project of The University of Alabama and funded by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation were used in the study. The survey instrument used in this study is a variation of Laanan Transfer Student Questionnaire (L-TSQ). Survey questions were reframed such that those regarding university experiences and the students’ potential transfer to a four-year college/university were treated as reflections on the meditational transition, or transition that has not yet occurred. The study addressed...

...we often forget, and herein appears the difficulty. There are students who face learning problems and it’s not their fault. In our education system we end up blaming that group of students who face difficulty in learning, but not understanding why it happens. For a school student, life is loaded with studies. It is not possible for each one of them to cope up with their studies. They often get nervous, frustrated and end up mugging their lessons which is very harmful. Teacher’s reaction shouldn’t vary from student to student; it should be equal for every student. Discrimination is very fatal for students. In colleges, the scenario is different. Here there are problems which are related to politics. One should avoid any kind of politics (that in college as it is fatal for any student. Frustration often appears in students especially when their course session reaches its end. A majority of them either go for further studies whereas, rest of the students search for jobs. Recession has caused huge dearth of jobs and naturally many students are unable to avail their desired jobs. Students who opt for further studies often get puzzled about which course to study and from which college. Because of the lack of proper guidance they often take hasty decisions in a hurry for which they have to repent later. Unfortunately our educational system is designed in such a way where many companies give importance to those who possess a valid degree like MBA, B-TECH, etc. and not to those people...

...campus that can assist them in making decisions: professors, peers, and College staff. 2. Some students will be homesick, missing their family, friends, and pets. They will miss old routines and structures. 3. Students may be ambivalent about dependence and independence. Some will openly ask for parent support and others won’t tell parents important details. Parents need to ask their adolescent how they are doing without prying too much – while also being accessible and open. 4. The school may not live up to the expectations set by the brochures and admissions counselors. Rarely does an admissions pamphlet tell all about the ins and outs, and the limits and shortcomings of a place. ACADEMICS 5. The work is hard and some students may experience their first low grades. Most students have done well in high school. Some high school courses are not as demanding as college. A student has to learn a particular professor’s expectations and style of grading. 6. Students will be expected to maintain their own schedules and develop good study habits. There is no one around to force the student to study, to go to class, or to get a good night’s sleep. Students have to create a structure that works for them. Time management is a skill that can be learned or improved through work with the Macalester Academic Excellence (MAX) Center (phone number is 696-6121). 7. Students may become excited about whole new areas of study and may change their career goals and major plans. Parents who believe...

...Running Head: Grades in non major courses in U.S colleges and Universities Grades in non major courses in U.S colleges and Universities Mohammad Rahman In India, university students, even undergraduates, focus all of their studies on their major field courses. For example, engineering students take all of their courses, every term, in the school of engineering. However, every undergraduate student at the Strayer University is required to take many courses that have little or no relevance to their field of study. Although students graduates from the university with a broader education as a result of these courses, I believe that the curses should be graded other way, and that the grades for these courses for these courses should not become part of students’ GPAs. Anti-evolution, the rise of pseudo sciences, and the renewed interest in the occult, all masquerading as science, are symptomatic of the poor job that is done explicating science as a process and a way of knowing. Disciplinary teaching emphasizes fact over concept. (Brophy, D.A. (2004) Every science discipline should be taught with a process base pervasive from the first to the last day of the course. Science teaching needs be revamped to provide an integrated, non-redundant exposition of the discipline focused on principles of which the theory of evolution is only one. Science must to be related both to technology and society. Teaching has to be directed to elicit the desired ends of education and not be regarded...

...of others buy tickets and attend the games. For decades, the NCAA and its member schools have been making millions of dollars off the work of college athletes, and until recently, the amateur economy of campus sports has gone relatively unchallenged. Even now, the NCAA's rules against allowing players to be paid are supported by a majority of Americans, and many justify this clear injustice by arguing that college athletes are already getting the most valuable compensation possible: a "free" education. 10.8 million dollars for a media right deal might seem like a lot of money, but when you look at the amount of sponsors that are willing to put money into these intercollegiate sports tournaments, it might be understandable. Everything about the NCAA March Madness tournaments is branded. Ads from big companies like Coca Cola, AT&T and HP are constantly played during the broadcasts of the games. And it’s not just the NCAA making a lot of money of off the work of these athletes; also the schools are making exorbitant amounts of money. For one of our case studies we looked at some stats from the Northwestern University. The National Labor Relations Board found that Northwestern’s football team $235 million in revenue between 2003 and 2012. (Pepperman & McDonough, 2014) Another interesting statistic is that in 1996 a premier college athlete earned $500,000 dollars of revenue during his career. (Lemons, 2014) When we take into account the inflation that number today would be...

As her resident advisor in the MSP program, I was able to get to know Kristin in the classroom, in the dorms, and on various trips throughout the program. We also kept in touch after the program was over. Kristin displayed various qualities of a leader. She was quite active in the program in that she was able to make friends with all of the campers. If there was something that needed to be said, she would speak up and stand up for her beliefs. If there was something that needed to be done, she would not hesitate to help out and also encourage others to help as well. She was a team player that looked out for others and definitely helped make the MSP campers feel like a team. She lived...
