...Effective study skills are the sole foundation of a sound education. What are study skills? They are different approaches applied to learning they are essential for successful grades for schools and colleges. They help you to learn and study the right way by studying a subject correctly using study skills you can only improve on the subject. Before starting out on a course generally one would not possess much knowledge of study skills but by Learning about learning one would feel that studying has become easier. By following tips and reading manuals personal progress would flow more fluently in study. "Seven approaches to learning, Learning can be an adventure, Use many senses, Identify what attracts you, use active learning, to take responsibility for your learning ,trust in your own intelligence and to personalize your learning" .(Cotterall, 2013). These headings are the Imperative to studying and they give a positive foundation. Study skills as a sole foundation to a person that is completing a course on-line are invaluable as there is no lectures as such. The person has to manage e time and source all information themselves so having a good study structure in place is important. You must learn to discipline your study habits set up a schedule and keep to a rosta or timetable just as you would if you were attending a regular day time college. If one does not have good study skills it is more difficult to sustain any information. One will not move forward with a lack...

...“What are the effective study skills that provide a sole foundation of a sound education” Study skills looks at a wider range of abilities rather than just ‘academic’ skills to help achieve a sound education, as explained by Stella Cottrell (2013, p36). Cottrell begins by explaining that the study frame work known as ‘APT-S’ which are broken down into four categories of skills; Self, Academic, People and Tasks. In this essay I will look at each framework individually and what they mean before concluding how they assist in building the foundation of successful education. Self- management skills relates to the individual and their environment at a more complex level as these can change during the course of an education. Some of self-management skills includes independence, skills management, learning, strategies, time, improving performance and metacognitive skills, as noted by Stella Cottrell (2013, p 38). Independence involves being well informed and skills management is using current strengths whilst improving weaker skills. Learning skills looks at personalizing current skills whilst enhancing strengths. Strategies skills looks are various ways such as creative, reflective, effective and motivating, whilst metacognitive skills focuses on meaningful reflection on how to think, learn and self manage. Academic skills include basic research skills, understanding academic conventions, thinking skills and written communication skills (Cottrell 2013, p 39). Basic research...

...Women and their route to success: could the barriers be completely broken down? Ginna Munoz Molloy College Abstract Undoubtedly women have made extraordinary strides from the standpoint of their careers. It is now possible to see a woman running companies and occupying the most prestigious positions worldwide. However, the representation of women in business is still low in comparison with men. On one hand, many researches provide evidences of the existence of different types of discrimination against women, and on the other hand, some studies show a positive and promising panorama for women. Nowadays, women are seen as the core of the economy and it is possible that within a generation a majority of working wives will outearn their husbands. These researches provide solid foundations to think that the barriers affecting women negatively could be broken. Nevertheless, the most value stride women can achieve is to change the vision about themselves so that new female generations grow without the stereotypes that currently prevent them from succeeding. Women and their route to success: could the barriers be completely broken down? Over recent decades women have made clear strides professionally. Today it is possible to see women performing in fields and taking on positions previously blocked for them. Nevertheless, the representation of women in the business world is still very small in comparison with that of men. There is evidence that women continue to face barriers...

...apparel based in the United States. At present, corporate headquarters and the company’s sole 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility are located in Charleston, South Carolina due to shipping port access and the state’s right-to-work status. Raw fabrics are purchased from international vendors and US suppliers and include nylon/natural weaves, Gortex, manufactured high efficiency liners, and down fillers. GMS products are sold through upscale retail outlets generally specializing in performance outdoor apparel used in alpine skiing. Annual sales are at 100,000 units per year with gross revenue of $20,000,000. Total current employees are 100. GMS has developed plans for a new line of outer apparel utilizing a liner made from an Alpaca premium long fiber weave with a Gortex laminate. Alpaca was chosen for its superiority to wool and other natural fibers. It has higher durability, softness, water repellency, and broader thermal properties than wool. It is flexible at very cold temperatures, has inherent stretch for mobility, retains thermal properties when wet, and is hypoallergenic. It is therefore better suited to this intended purpose than most manufactured fibers. As a renewable resource and biodegradable product, alpaca fiber is consistent with GMS environmental policies and offers the opportunity to market it as a “Green”, environmentally friendly product. Purpose: This study will explore the feasibility of creating a subsidiary company in Chile. The company...

...Four Fundamentals of Leadership in Combat MSG Jose A. Rosario United States Army Sergeants Major Academy Class 63 SGM Merritt, Darrick / Mr. Lemire Mike 30 August 2012 Abstract The United States Army has transformed itself into a professional entity that demands its leaders to be effective while maintaining certain skills and attributes. Though these leadership skills and attributes vary from one leader to the next, ultimately there is one common goal, accomplish the mission at hand. The Four Fundamentals of Leadership provides Army leaders the foundation needed to be successful. If applied properly, the four fundamentals can be an essential tool for any leader in garrison and in combat. Four Fundamentals of Leadership in Combat Leadership Army Leadership Defined Field Manual 6-22 (2003) defines Military Leadership as, “Influencing people by providing purpose, motivation, and direction while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization.” This definition is the foundation of any good leader. The task of influencing others to execute a successful and effective mission can be infinitely more complicated than one would imagine. The act of war alone is complicated and often can be confusing to the young and inexperienced Soldier. With this knowledge, it is the responsibility of military leaders to provide Soldiers with those key factors mentioned above; purpose, motivation, and direction connect directly to the four fundamentals of leadership...

...Abstract Liberal arts and business are programmes of study that are very relevant at the tertiary level as well as to industry. However in the past few decades, the two areas of knowledge have been facing varying fortunes. Interest and student enrollment for liberal arts education has declined sharply while on the other hand interest and enrollment for business education programmes has seen a tremendous increase. This literature review examines works of several scholars and academic authorities on issues relating to liberal arts and business. The paper recommends an interdisciplinary approach in promoting and enhancing the study of liberal arts and business at the tertiary level. In concluding, both liberal arts and business programs remain essential to academic and social development. Moreover an integrated liberal arts and business education certainly develops thoughtful, flexible and well informed leaders 1.0 Introduction The past few decades have witnessed a massive shift from the study of liberal arts toward more “practical” and job focused programs such as engineering, business and medicine. This significant change stems from the desire of students and industry for university programs that are more relevant to job and industry requirements. As reported by Delucchi (1997) “the curricular trend in higher education since about 1970 has been toward studies related to work… Enrollment concerns in recent years have compelled many liberal arts colleges to abandon or sharply...

...Conclusion: Knowledge and Skills for Professional Practice Tim W. Clark Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale, Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative Murray B. Rutherford Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative Kim Ziegelmayer Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies Michael J. Stevenson Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies Most professionals beginning their careers in species and ecosystem conservation conceive of their future work in terms of hands-on tasks in the field (“doing something important in the real world”). Whether on the domestic or the international scene, typically the forester sees themselves laying out timber sales, the fisheries biologist looks forward to surveying streams, and the range specialist expects to be classifying grasslands. Current curricula in most universities largely mirror this common view. We train future foresters to address logging problems in the Pacific Northwest or in the tropics, or conservation biologists to design a reserve or study an endangered species. But in actual practice, most professionals spend only part—and sometimes a small part—of their time attending to technical tasks in the field. Professionals, over a career or a lifetime, participate in many activities well beyond fieldwork, and there is much more to building a successful professional practice today than skills in technical work in the...

They also have a continuing responsibility to improve the art of accounting, maintain the public’s confidence, and carry out the profession’s special responsibilities for self-governance. However, the role of a CPA in helping businesses come up with a good and effective decision-making is said to be one of the important responsibilities of a CPA. The many traditional roles of a CPA in assisting businesses take on even greater importance in a volatile economic environment. CPAs are relied upon so much because of not only their keen analytical and decision-making skills but also their objectivity, integrity and dedication to service. Many CPAs provide services well beyond accounting, auditing and reporting. The consumer often expects a CPA to be proficient at many specializations, even those just indirectly related to the traditional role of an accountant. The CPA's role has been quickly expanding, and one leading CPA proposed that the term CPA more appropriately stand for Certified Professional Advisor. (www.picpa.org) A CPA is much more than its definition of Certified Public Accountant. The term certified refers to the licensing to carry on business as a CPA and meeting the standards as promulgated by the American Institute of CPAs and the various state societies...
