...Know Your People Brandon Andrews COM340 Instructor Oguntolu Week 5 Proposal June 17, 2013 Know Your People Overview Technology has overtaken our lives and we have become dependent on computers to complete everyday task. Even the process of completing a degree program from a major university has migrated to the online spectrum. Ashford University is one of the many institutions that are offering students degree plans online but in order to remain successful it must provide the student with more support, reliability and maintain more consistency for students. Formally known as St. Clare College, Ashford University was founded in 1918 as a junior college in Clinton, IA. In 2005, the school was purchased by Bridgepoint Education and the name was changed to Ashford University. The school intends to foster learning on all levels through technology. Although they do a good job of fostering learning, there are a few shortcomings that are being noted by students in all career fields. Statement of Problem The communication seems to break down between students and advisors over time. Upon initial enrollment the student is assigned three important contacts that play an important role in the initial success of the student. The enrollment, financial, and academic advisors do a good job of initially keeping in contact with student. Once the student begins to get in the flow of his/her schedule, the advisors seem to become less and less involved in the students...

...Personal Responsibility Jermaine Warner GEN/200 February 26, 2013 Janet Madden Personal Responsibility There is no success in life without personal responsibility. Success can be achieved only when one realizes that it requires some form of responsibility whether it is time management, prioritizing, or simply paying attention. The amount of success have is measured by the ability to be responsible for your own actions. Personal responsibility knows no class. Whether you are poor or rich, personal responsibility has a role in your life. In this essay I will identify with personal responsibility and the effect will have on my academic progress. My initial responsibility is to never repeat the cycle in which I was raised. I grew up in a single parent household with two brothers and four sisters. Life was very difficult growing up. With no father figure in my life, I was never shown the way to pursue success. I just gathered my memories of all the hardships from my adolescence and vowed to never repeat the cycle. My family was evicted from our home several times with no remorse. As a child I never understood why this was happening, as I grew older I realized my mother did not make enough money to pay the monthly bills on time. I am a strong believer that no matter how difficult the journey to adulthood was, there is no excuse to repeat failures you have lived through once before. Personal responsibility was introduced to me at a young age. I moved away...

...Introduction The Ministry of Education of Bhutan takes charge in providing children with general education from the pre-primary level to Class 12 through the primary education. It is also responsible for training teachers and for the developing the curriculum and teaching-learning materials used in the classrooms. Primary education is provided free for six years under the goal of universal access to this level of education. Primary schools are inexpensive for parents but some of them cannot send their children to schools because of financial difficulties. To address this problem, the government has established the Bhutan Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper to improve access to and quality of primary education. Since the introduction of planned development in the early 1960s, the education system in Bhutan has grown from a mere 400 students in 11 schools to over 160,000 students in over 550 schools around the country. Education today is playing pivotal role not only in meeting country’s human resource needs but also improves the quality of life, which ultimately contribute to the achievement of GNH. Today, we have realized that the success of the country goes through the education system. Towards this, the education sector in Bhutan aspires to provide an education to every single citizen, such that they become the natural resource of the country, not just in terms of helping to plan and implement the further development of the country, but also by acting as a saleable resource...

...When I look at this picture of myself, I realize how much I've grown and changed, not only physically, but also mentally as a person in the last couple of years. Less than one month after this photograph was taken, I arrived at the [school' s name] in [school' s location] without any idea of what to expect. I entered my second year of high school as an innocent thirteen year-old who was about a thousand miles from home and was a new member of not the sophomore, but “lower-middle” class. Around me in this picture are the things which were most important in my life at the time: studying different types of cars and planes, following Michael Jordan' s latest move, and seeing the latest blockbuster show like “Phantom of the Opera” or “Jurassic Park”. On my t-shirt is the rest of my life- tennis. Midway through my senior year at the special [school' s name] school, the focuses in my life have changed dramatically. If there is one common occurrence which takes place for every single person in the diverse student body at [school' s name], it is that we all grow up much faster for having lived there. I do not know whether this speeding up of the maturing process is generally good or bad, but I definitely have benefited. The classroom has become a whole different realm for me. Before, the teachers and students alike preached the importance of learning, but it was implicitly obvious that the most important concern was grades. At [school' s name] teachers genuinely believe that learning...

Everyone would say what college did you attend followed by what’s your major and I would answer never been to college. Now, watching my kids get older and heading off to college hopefully I say what I am going to do with myself. I woke up one morning and decided that I wanted better for myself and I can’t keep instilling in my kids to go to college if I never tried. I always loved to work on computers. My friends call me all the time and ask me to help them clean their computers out and install software so they can get rid of their viruses. When I decided to go to college last year in August I picked my major in Computer Science Information Technology. As a college student I have learn to explore life with great expectations and I am looking forward to the opportunities that I can offer. Attending Thomas Nelson I have come across students that are not computer savvy but also can’t afford to pay for classes to teach them how to use a computer. Students come to me and ask for my help because I place ads around the school, I send emails and I let my classmates know that if anybody needs help with learning how to use the computer they can call me. I don’t charge a fee but I do take donations in any form that you can afford. Sometimes what I do is if you need help with a computer and you are...

...We Should Not All Be Uniform! Every day, millions of teenagers spend between six and eight hours in America’s high schools. They sit at their desks, listen to their teachers, and do their school work. In some of these schools, however, they are also forced to dress in school uniforms. This restriction is really too much. In America’s high schools, students should not be forced to wear uniforms because they take away a student’s sense of individuality, they do not allow for self-expression, and they absolutely do not save families any money. First of all, students should not wear uniforms because they take away a student’s sense of individuality. Imagine this: 30 students sit in desks in a small classroom. Each student wears tan pants and a white shirt. They sit with their school books and papers in front of them. They all look exactly alike. Does this seem right? Of course not! We are all individuals! We are unique in many different ways. Why try to make all students look alike? This idea is supported by testimony from a 17-year-old student forced to wear uniforms. Her story was reported in National Catholic Reporter of March, 2002, and she said, "Everyone hated it. It completely killed any sense of individuality any one of us had. Everyone looked the same. It was sad to 27 Duddles 2 watch" (3). Clearly, students with experience in wearing uniforms feel that they take away a sense of individuality. Next, school uniforms do not allow students to express themselves...

...History Brief History of Cainta Catholic College Cainta Catholic College dawned through the CICM missionary zeal. In 1931, Rev. Fr. Jose Tajon was parish priest of Our Lady of Light. Since he ran a school at the Manila Cathedral. his former parish, he deemed it wise to open a Catholic School so that the children of the town could avail of primary education. From charity money and donation, Fr. Tajon was able to maintain the school free of tuition fee but with regularly paid teachers. He indeed established a feat of sort, as he was able to have this arrangement even during the duration of the Second World War. Enrolment increased each year up to 1944. The pupils were housed in three classrooms made of nipa and wood. Before Filipino became a national language, it was already part already part of the curriculum though the students spoke English just as well. The school produced most of the leading Catholics in Cainta. All through the pre-war years until the Japanese occupation and the American liberation, classes were continuously conducted. But in December 1944, Fr. Tajon died at the Santiago Hospital, during the shelling for the liberation of Manila. With his death, Cainta Catholic School unfortunately ceased its operation. In 1959, Fr. Daniel Courtens, another CICM priest, was appointed Parish Priest. Having observed the expenses and the risk, the youth of Cainta faced in wanting to have a secondary education offered in neighboring towns, he decided to re-open Cainta...

...College education: large university or small college? Having a college degree today is an asset when applying for a decent job. Higher education is very expensive; it is a hard decision for parents and students when it comes to chose whether they will attend a large university or a small college. A large university and a small college have the same goals which are to educate, train, and develop students in their different fields, but they are also different in terms of class size, quality of teachers and tuition cost. It is important to have a good look at these different factors in order to chose between a large university and a small college when deciding what is the best for a student. According to a recent study, the average number of students per class in some large universities is around 400 to 500 students per class. Students always argue that the atmosphere inside the classroom is very good. They have the opportunity to exchange ideas with a large number of others students who are taking the same course. The inconvenient part is that students most of the time do not really interact with their teacher. Also students do not have to attend class or to participate and the teacher would not even notice. The number of students in small college is around 15 to 40 students per class. Most of the time, students know each other. They build a personal relation with their teacher. The disadvantage of small class is that, there is less competition compare to a big classroom. Some...

...Katrina Arenas Professor: Figueroa-Chacon English: 100 November 05, 2013 General Education Should Be an Option for College students. There is a highly debated topic on whether or not students should be forced to take General Education classes at college. College is a time for exploring all options that lay ahead. General education classes are a great way for students to discover themselves and their passions, especially if students are unsure of what they want to do with the rest of their lives. However, a strong case can be made that college students by no means should be forced to take them, especially for those students who have already declared on a major. As we all know, college is already too expensive to be wasting money on classes with little to no interest in. As a result, it is a waste of time and a high risk for getting bad grades in those classes. Instead of throwing the money out of the window, general education classes should be an option for college students, not a requirement. One of the main reasons why college students should not be required to take general education classes is because of the cost of college. According to the “Public College Tuition Spikes”, the average tuition costs rose about 8.3% to an average of $5,189 in the 2011-2012 school years. In the previous academic year, students paid with an average of $4,793, which is just adding on to the thousands of the already overpriced tuition. While those students who still on that...

...Unit 2 Project Science Meets Real Life SC300: Big Ideas in Science: From Methods to Mutation Professor: Christine Snyder Submitted by Rodrigo Gonzalez Date: February 14, 2012 Question #1- Is there is a common reason for the absences? Explain. There seems to be a spike in absences at the Truman Middle and Jackson Middle schools’ band class. The spike in Truman Middle school occurrence took place between the dates of May 20th and May, 21st with close to 35% absent. In Jackson Middle school the occurrence took place at the same time with 25% absent. It seems there may possibility of an out-brake of some type of viral infection that has caused so many student’s to be out of school. There seems to be some type of epidemic because it happened in Truman Middle on May 20 & 21st then dwindle down beginning March 22nd, and at the Jackson Middle school on May 20th then this dwindled down on May 22nd. The attendance shows no major impact in all other classes and middle schools. Truman Middle school had an absentee percentage of 33.3% on May 20th and Jackson Middle had a 25% absentee percentage and was due to the band class, all other classes had a normal absentee percentage rate (Community Health Department, 2012). There does not seems to be any attendance dilemma at either The Kennedy Middle or Roosevelt Middle Schools or any other classes at Truman or Jackson Middle Schools other than band on May 20th through May 22nd (Community Health Department, 2012).
