...When a student waits until the last moment doing homework and asks their parents to do it, is that student irresponsible? A student, believes that their dad should do their schoolwork. A dad believes that she should do it on her own and fail. I think that fathers should not do their kid’s homework. One reason I think this, is a quote from a father’s letter in scope magazine, “But in my opinion, parents who do their kid’s homework are making a mistake. They’re sending the message that success matter more than the road it takes to get there.” This means that parents are showing their kid’s that getting good grades is so important that it is okay if it’s not their work. Furthermore, a second reason is another quote from the same letter, “Failure...

...Many students enter college expecting good times, knowledge, friendships, and a new sense of direction. They soon find out that college comes with challenges and struggles because of the great demands and expectations that are put on the importance of education. College students experience a great deal of stress, especially when they are trying to balance a full time job, raise children, and have a social life. The demands of doing many different things with very little time can become overwhelming. The daily tasks of working and meeting the demands of job obligation can leave a college student exhausted. There are a limited number of students who work full time jobs and attend college full time. Others, still work late and get up in the wee hours of the morning trying to fit all of the required tasks of school and work into one day. Students often find themselves more exhausted when they are trying to schedule tasks, because there just does not seem to be enough time in one day. Putting in long hours and worrying about class schedules adds stress to a student life. The college student who has children is faced with guilt about not being able to spend time with the children. The children has great demands on time. They need help with their homework, or need dinner and to be tucked in bed at a certain time. The thought of not being able to keep up with the demands of the children is very stressful and can be depressing to both the child and parent. In other words everyone suffers...

...and did not do for their assignments or when studying. College is not like when they were in high school and they would blame failing a test on the teacher or the fact that they did not get their homework done because of some excuse that they would have made up on the spot. In college it is an entirely different experience. We are now paying for our own education and not relying on our parents help in a lot of cases, so there is no blaming other people for not passing that class, or studying for that test it is all on them. Only the student that is in the class can be responsible for themselves while in college and that will lead to their success. Especially when working in a team, they can’t blame Susie for not getting their part of the assignment done, it is their responsibility to make sure that they get their assignments done no matter what kind of things get in their way. That includes sickness, or even death of a loved one. It’s now time for students to learn how to juggle the struggles of what goes on in their lives with school. If you take responsibility for whatever the outcome will be you will be more successful in whatever you choose to do in life. It is your choice if you play the victim or not, and you will be much better off if you choose not to play the victim in life. There are many ways to be successful in college and also many ways to be unsuccessful. Some of them are by staying on top of the homework and the due dates, always take notes during a...

...serious, dedicated student, or do you come off as uninterested or maybe even disruptive? As a college student, you are expected to act in a mature manner. Below is a list of Do’s and Don’ts for the college classroom that will help facilitate a learning centered atmosphere: Take responsibility for your education Instructors are here to create a learning environment – whether or not you learn depends on your willingness to listen, ask appropriate questions, and do the work necessary to pass the course. Attend class Students who attend class, listen to the instructor, ask questions, and take good notes are more likely to pass with a higher grade. If you must miss a class, contact your instructor ahead of time to let him or her know that you will not be in class. DO NOT ask the instructor to repeat material you missed because you skipped a class. Be on time Walking in late disturbs everyone. At this college and many places of employment, tardiness communicates lack of interest and lack of dependability. If you cannot avoid being late, make sure to be unobtrusive about your entry. Come to class prepared – turn your work in on time Complete assigned reading before coming to class. Make sure to bring common classroom supplies such as a pencil, paper, textbook, test materials, etc. along with completed homework. Students who attempt to complete their assigned homework in classroom at the last minute often earn lower grades and are more likely to miss deadlines. ...

...Thomas 1 Courtney Thomas Dr. Joe Argent ENG 111-K62 Being A College Student There are tons of things that are good and bad about being a College student. For instance, College students either succeed or fail, they either graduate or drop out. The drop out rates are very high, many have no choice to drop out, due to many reasons. The chances of someone even going to College is very slim these days; most don’t consider it. Not considering College is most likely because of the cost, not because we don’t want to further our education. Being a College student can be an overwhelming process, stress will come and stay, until it’s all over. As if being a College student isn’t hard enough, we also have everyday struggles too. Like kids, families, financial issues, working, or even no time, this can make your schoolwork ten times harder. When in College many go through many stages during their College days. Feeling excited, alone, emotional and overwhelmed, sometimes even failure. Many feel excited to know that they are on the right track of attempting their goals and exceeding in getting a degree. Many may feel alone due to allowing school become there every moment, no time for friends, family or even a significant other. School is like a full time job; you have to be all in and put in the time and effort. Feeling overwhelmed is definitely not uncommon when in College, due to high stress levels and so much going on at one time and not being able to stay ahead when you try so...

...feels like there is not enough time within the day? If you answered yes, then you have experienced some kind of stress. Stress is your body’s response to events that makes you feel threatened about your life in some way. There are many things that cause stress for all ages and many people experience stress, but college students have the most amount of stress to deal with. According to the dictionary stress is the importance, significance, or emphasis placed on something. According to Walker and her Teenagers in Distress Series people may experience stress when they become very busy, have deadlines to make, or do not have enough time to finish everything they wanted. People may stress about simple things like flying and animals, but many people experience stress from the fear of failing, being humiliated, or experiencing a death of a family member. Stress centers around two important times for teenagers, when they are home or at school. “In a survey of sixty young people the primary sources of tension for teens were: relationships with friends and family, the pressure of expectations from self and others, pressure at school from teachers, coaches, grades and homework, financial pressures, and tragedy in the lives of family and friends.” (Walker, 7) More causes of stress for teenagers include breaking up with their significant other, arguments with parents, trouble with siblings, and trouble with classmates. Most teens respond to stress by relaxing, positive problem solving...

...are multiple reasons for why 58% of students who took the SAT are deemed not college ready. These reasons may include; students do not study properly, students do not do their homework as regularly, and many kids are not as mature as the grade they are in should portray. I believe that a big reason for this conclusion is that students do not study properly. This may be caused by students not knowing the proper steps to studying. It is crucial for students to study days before a test, as well as throughout the days leading up to it. Now a days, most students just study the night before a test because they can get away with it in high school. But, in college it is totally different. Most students are going to have to learn that they are going to need to study well in advance of the test in hopes of doing well on it. So, on the SAT it may be showing that students hadn’t really studied well for it which may be why many are being deemed as not ready for college. Another reason for this could be that students don’t do their homework everyday. Many students want...

...Kate in Lake Forest IL states that, “ My rule for fourth graders is that they are overwhelmed by homework, they can send a note home saying that they have tried but they can’t figure it out.” So my question is are students getting too much homework? The first reason is that they just want to see what we know and if we need to stay on that subject. Second reason is that they don’t give us too much homework because the only reason to come to school is to get homework and learn. Third is that they give us the homework to see if we know how to do it by ourself and to see if we were paying attention in class. Most students and parents think we get too much homework but they don’t see how important it is to get it because they just want us to get what we are learning. They are just checking on how well we are getting the subject and to see if we can move on to something different....

...Homework: Helpful or Harmful? Is homework harmful or helpful? In today’s education system, schools are preparing students for college by pressuring them to increase their test scores. Test scores seem to provide educators with a good standpoint of the student’s intelligence level. Therefore, educators have been ordering homework to be done since elementary school. A Countless number of students are being assigned a great amount of homework every day because educators think that it is essential and helpful. However, too much homework has seemed to negatively affect students in many ways. In recent studies, there has been a widespread call to realize the disadvantages of homework due to the strain it puts on students. Although homework may seem favorable because it seems to keep students busy and working, homework should not be considered the primary tool to improve students since homework medically affects students, is time consuming, and interferes with family life. Homework has medical affect on students since they are becoming sleep deprived as they struggle to complete a homework assignment that is due the next day. Studies show that students are now taking more risks due to excessive amounts of homework that cannot be completed efficiently in a given time. According to CNN Health’s Medical Assignment Manager Ann J. Curley, studies conducted show that more than two-thirds of American students report they are getting less than eight hours of sleep on school nights, which is...

...Running head: ISSUES FOR MODERN COLLEGE STUDENT Issues for Modern College Students Paul J. Matthie Excelsior College Student 1 ISSUES FOR MODERN COLLEGE STUDENT 2 Abstract There are many problems that the modern college student faces. Some of the issues are issues of costs and financial aid, balancing work/school/family, access to technology. When the professor gave the assignment. I got a writer's block. I took my military background, and I found out three issues I think the modern college would have. The first one is time management. Everyone struggles with time management, juggling work with homework. The second one is finical issues. Whenever you start something new you want to know how much is it going to cost and can, I afford it. The third one is access to technology. Yes, I know that at least 75% of the United States have Internet access. What about the students that do not have access? How can do online colleges? Keywords: Time Management Finical Issues Access to Technology ISSUES FOR MODERN COLLEGE STUDENT 3 When I was doing research on the issue for a modern college student, I found that most students are stressed out about time management. "The big myth is it's easier to go online because you can do it at your pace," Popovich says. "You do have more flexibility, but it is not any easier … It is harder because you are on your own; you have your own devices." (Sheehy, 2010 p.1) When you are doing an online course, you have...
