...Five rules of student engagement for effective university marketing Can marketing help in tackling falling university applications? John Newbold offers tips on attracting your target audience Establish a link between interests and careers The end goal of most prospective university students is not attending lectures for a few years; but eventually to embark on a career and, more specifically, a career they are passionate about. Recent social media coverage has emphasised the point that career success and happiness comes from pursuing what interests you, rather than what might seem a good idea from other people's perspective (teachers / parents / politicians). One video currently doing the rounds on Facebook simply asks the question: "What if money was no object?" When marketing to potential students, universities should draw this link between student passions and potential careers. Higher education institution Birmingham Metropolitan College's latest campaign achieves this well, with the strapline "Let what you love become what you do". Similarly, Staffordshire University has this week launched a new graduate campaign spanning TV, cinema, press, radio and digital advertising. The idea is to show students that Staffordshire University is committed to their success beyond graduation. Don't talk down to prospective students Avoid falling into the trap of applying your own experiences of university to today's students, even if your university days were only five or...

...Manshack 1 Linda Manshack Instructor L. McCary English 105 March 15, 2011 How to become an Effective Student Every year many students enter college with dreams and aspirations of becoming an effective student. However, not all students have a full understanding of the challenges that it takes to meet this goal. Many often ask themselves, “What does it take to become an effective student?” There are many answers to that question, but the problem is that most students do not understand how important time management and proper study skills are to a college career. With social activities, friends, and family as outside influences on a schedule, students are unable to properly utilize their time and often find themselves overwhelmed by the workload. Others have not developed the study skills that they need in order to master the classes. Practicing daily habits of success is an important building block for any student; therefore, to be an effective student one must have time management and proper study skills. Mastering the art of time management is easier said than done. Every student is handed a syllabus in class, it is important to read this since it lists the dates for when the quizzes, exams, and homework assignments are due. Taking an organizer and writing down all important dates will help in planning ahead and planning your workload. If there are many assignments that are clustered up then prioritize them and set aside...

Firstly the rock size and mass was measured to determine the density and bulk volume using an electronic ruler and mass balance. Then using the helium porosimeter the grain volume of each core plug sample was measured. Each of these measurements were repeated three times and then averaged for precision sake. The porosity was then calculated by subtracting the grain volume from the bulk volume, to determine the pore volume, and then dividing by the bulk volume. The porosity results for all the samples were reasonable except for sample 1 and 6 for which the porosity is calculated to be in negative % and make no logic. These possible reasons for these inaccurate results are that the group made high errors in reading the measurements or did the experiment in a wrong method. 2-Introduction For the storage of oil and gas in any reservoir rock presence of porosity is vital. However, the degree of porosity in any rock depends upon...

...variety of interpersonal relationships and personalities within the classroom and many more aspects can play a critical role. To quote Evertson and Weinstein in their Handbook of Classroom Management (2006:5), classroom management is not merely a "bag of tricks" that is passed on from one teacher to another--it is "a multifaceted endeavor that is far more complex than establishing rules, rewards, and penalties to control students' behavior." Discipline: Student Conduct and Classroom Management Discipline problems do arise in the college classroom. What would you consider a discipline problem? Why do they arise? How would you address them? Gerald Amada in his Coping With Misconduct in the College Classroom (1999) identifies common misconduct issues. Among those are: * undermining teacher authority * spacing-out or sleeping in class * frequent absences/tardiness * food and cell phone disruptions * plagiarism or lying * disrespectful behavior * refusal to participate * too much chit-chat cm/cm-01-01-discipline.xml Undesirable student behaviors experienced by language teachers.

Time management is a skill that directly impacts your academic performance. Effective time management strategies make studying and schoolwork less overwhelming and more enjoyable.

The study also determined that the time-balanced students achieved higher grades, felt less anxiety over tests and were more confident in their academic performance overall. Furthermore, these students also fit a social life into their busy schedules, simply...

Rosie includes statistics in this piece of writing which ultimately establishes the scope of the problem. With these statistics it is apparent that a college student will most likely experience a severe psychological problem at least once. Rosie explains how there are many college students who are experiencing these severe psychological problems, but how they fail to seek help when needed. It is apparent that the students who undergo these challenges do not ask for help when they need it because mental illness is perceived as a shameful or embarrassing thing. Meaning...

Wide variations have been universally noted in the methods of studying typically practiced by the students. The time of day preferred, time laps between study sessions, noise or music as background, physically and emotionally condition when studying, are but few of many factors which may vary in every conquerable way among individual. According to Horton-Murillo (1992), in academic achievement, every child is unique. His learning style is one aspect of his uniqueness. Teachers must recognize the knowledge and respect in every child’s individual learning style. Learning styles include cognitive, effective, and physiological domains. Learners have individual differences; each has inner strength and capacities. Knowing this will help the learners where they would engage themselves to acquire effective learning. Studying plays a vital role in the attainment of the educational goals of the students. Some teachers wonder why some of their students are not making any significant progress in their work. Probably one factor behind this situation is that most teachers failed to help their students to acquire the needed attitude towards the class. Study and application of the students are needed to have a successful learning and effective teaching. The extent of students learning in academics may be...

...Many students struggle with anxiety and stress within high school. The pressure placed on students from parents, teachers, bosses, coaches, teammates, peers, and ourselves is intense. Unfortunately, most teens are unaware of how to deal with the strain of having too much to do but not enough time. Organization allows us to be in control of our lives and prepared for the future. My first interview was with Abby Jackson, a friend and peer of mine. She told me that track was a stress in her life. To cope with the stress of this sport, Abby avoids it. Although Abby is aware that this method is ineffective, she continues do continue to participate in track. Abby stays in this activity because she is extremely talented, even if she does not always enjoy it. I would not recommend Abby’s way of handling stress for high schoolers because ignoring tests and information could cause people to fail classes. Instead, Abby should combat her sports anxiety by finding people she enjoys spending time with at practice. These people can make her feel more confident and encourage her....
