...Some had dropped out and some are still in college shifting courses just like me. So I decided to make a survey research regarding students in colleges on how passionate they are in the course they took up. I have delimited my research to students of the same course that I am taking to target a specific population and validity. Despite the problem of having many legal management students shifting courses, they take easy courses to graduate on time. As a current student and had been enrolled in legal management course in FEU, questions had bewildered myself if I had took the right path and made a right decision to take this course hence where will this lead me after I graduated from the course? There were instances in my college years that I opted or imagined to shift course for that matter because of the fear of the unknown. I am an irregular 3rd year student and I had witness some of my friends or almost of my friends if I may say had graduated from the courses they took and for my fellow legal management batch mates who if not shifted had graduated from this course but didn’t landed on a good job. The purpose of my research is to know the different reasons or the concrete intention or motive why some or a lot of students decided to shift course specifically legal management students. I will also probe if there is a trend of shifters or students from Leg Ma (Legal Management) jumping to another course and what persuade them to do it. This research will use survey questionnaires...

...FACTORS THAT CAUSE THE STUDENTS TO SHIFT TO ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AT TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF THE PHILIPPINES A Thesis Presented to Ms. Aracelli C. Maligalig Technological Institute of the Philippines Cubao, Quezon City In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the English-002 Course MICHAEL DAVE D. LASCONIA JOHN PAULO DELA CRUZ NINO AERON JADORMEO CARL JOHN L. MAGNO YATREN V. ALAYON March, 2015 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The School is an important agent for the education of youth. Although they offer a variety of purpose, the main role of school is to prepare students for their future education or career. This preparation takes place by the time that the students choose what they want to pursue and acquire the knowledge offered in these programs. Hence, students can only make the most out of learning when they are competent enough to comply with the necessary requirements that they must accomplish to pass in every courses, which will be useful for their future education or career. In respect, students’ choice of program is an important part of their education and future perspective. For some, when you are an engineering student, it means that you are intelligent and good in solving problems, but it is not easy to be one. You need to maintain a passing grade of at least 3.00 or higher in the major courses and also including the minor subjects. Some students find it difficult to maintain their grades. For some reasons they...

...Shifting of courses is one of the major factors that affects the student to graduate as soon as possible. It is a process that students do to change their chosen course because of their incompatibility to obtain the standards required in their course. And as defined by The Office of the Registrar of De La Salle University, “shifting is a term that refers to a transfer from one program to another of the same level. A level may refer to baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, or diploma/certificate (non-degree)”. The researchers choose this topic because college students nowadays have gone through a lot of conflicts that possibly lead them in deciding whether they shift into another courses or not. Shifting of courses is also one of the issues that disrupts the development and integration of the country even in the Philippines. In the University of Mindanao – College of Engineering Education, the researchers wanted to know what is the most frequent reason that gives the student a conclusion about shifting courses. In shifting courses there are four possible reasons why a college student demands to shift their course. The first possible reason in shifting course is the problem with the student’s course itself, if the course does not meet the demands of a student, it may cause failure or boredom to the student that makes them change course. Second reason is the problem with the place or university, if the place causes uncomfortable aura to the students, then it may cause unhappiness or...

...ENGINEERING STUDENTS WHO SHIFT COURSES AFTER 1-2 YEARS by vince silva on 29 September 2014 INTRODUCTION One of the major factors that have been affecting college students to graduate earlier is the shifting of courses of the college student, especially after the first to second year of experience of the student’s studies. Shifting of course is a way of college students to change their chosen program to another that may have been caused by many incompatibility of the student to compete in that specific chosen program. According to the Office of the University Registrar of DLSU “shifting refers to a transfer from one program to another of the same level. A level may refer to baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, or diploma/certificate”.

...Running Head: Microeconomics and the Law of Supply and Demand Microeconomics and the Law of Supply and Demand ECO/365 February 12, 2012 Supply and Demand Simulation This week our facilitator assigned each student to participate in an economics simulation that allowed us to be in control over a property management company, named Good Life Management. In this simulation the student was able to use experimental economics and natural experiments. Atlantis is the city in which Good Life Management operates their seven apartment complexes. Atlantis is also a very desirable place to live, and keeps prices competitive. The simulation changed the economic, social, and political factors, and left the student to determine the correct market price to list the apartments. According to Colander, D. (2010) “Theories, models, and principles must be combined with knowledge of real-world economic institutions to arrive at specific policy recommendations”. Microeconomic and Microeconomics In this simulation there were many examples of how micro and macro economics influenced supply and demand. According to Colander, (2010) “Microeconomics is the study of how individuals choice is influenced by economic forces”. In the first simulation Good Life Management had 2,000 two-bedroom apartments with 28% vacancy rate. At this point the simulations recommendation is to lower the rent amount in order to get 15% vacancy which would maximize revenue for Good Life Management...

...Graduating high school students often have a short period of time to think about what career path they would like to have in the future. Some are pressured to follow the footsteps of their parents, some are applying for the course because it sounds easy while some are applying for the course because of the big profit that the future job can offer. According to Vince Silva (2014) an engineering student, one of the major factors that have been affecting college students to graduate earlier is the shifting of courses of the college student, especially after the first to second year of experience of the student's studies. Shifting of course is a way of college students to change their chosen program to another that may have been chosen by many. In this generation many college students shift courses because of personal, social, and educational conflicts. Shifting courses became a delay for the progressing development of the country even in the Philippines. It is commonly experienced these days that a good number of freshmen students shift from one course to another every semester. It has always been a burden on the part of the student's immediate superior who approved the shifting of courses. In fact, the incidence of indecision in occupational choice among college students has become a burden to some faculty members in college level, since shifting is a product of irrational decision which is notably interferes with the educational growth of the students. According to the University...

...the price of a good induces an increase in the quantity supplied, while the law of demand states that a rise in the price of a good induces a decrease in the quantity demanded. Ultimately, these laws are used to predict which direction supply and demand curves shift, which for this scenario can be due to weather changes, the specific days of the week, and sudden decreases in the supplies used to make ice cream. In the case that the school allows another student to sell ice cream on campus as well, the price of ice cream would fall due to increased competition. The owner of the small ice cream stand on campus is known to have experienced fluctuations in the daily sales of ice cream. One reason to explain this is due to the constantly changing weather. On warmer or hotter days, there is a greater demand for ice cream because people eat it in order to cool off. Due to this greater demand, Ice-Campusades is likely to sell out all of their ice cream before the day is over. In terms of the supply and demand graphs, the demand curve shifts to the right, while the supply curve remains unchanged. On the other hand, if the weather on any given day is relatively cold or chilly, there is less demand for ice cream because students want to stay warm and consume hotter...

... INTRODUCTION Accountancy is an ideal career for incoming college students. Mathematical in nature and involves comprehensive calculations as well. You need to analyze the financial data of an organization for the entire year and then perform the calculations accordingly. The University of the East is well known in Accountancy Graduates because of high passing rate in CPA Board Exam. During the enrollment in UE Caloocan for first semester in 2011, many of the incoming freshmen were enrolling for BSA, because of the job opportunities awaits them when they become a CPA. Accounting students in UE Caloocan are trained. They have a good faculty to guide them, they provide seminars, and the provide reviews before the exams. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY For others, when they hear that you’re an Accountancy student, it means that you are intelligent and good in solving problems, but it’s not easy to be an accountant student. Many BSA students failed and shifted to other courses because of the retention policy. You need to maintain your grade at least 2.00 or higher in accounting subject and also include some minor subject like ECO 101(Economics) and BM101 (Business Math). Some students find it difficult to maintain their grades. For some reasons they fail to maintain it. The purpose of this research is to know the factors and reasons why students fail and forced to shift to other courses, and find out some possible ways to pass Accountancy course. ...

...NOT TO BE DISTRUBITED TO STUDENTS. FOR TUTOR USE ONLY School of Economics ECO1011S Macroeconomics I Tutorial Solution 11 (Week 12) HOMEWORK (26 marks) 1. If inflation cannot occur without money, does this mean that changes in the money stock always causes changes in inflation and that controlling the money stock is the only way to control inflation? (6) This question needs to be simplified to: What is the connection between money supply and inflation? This is the situation of monetary validation. Assume the economy starts off at some stable position (E0) along the LRAS (at Y*), but there is a shock to the system such that Aggregate demand increases (rightward shift). The economy is now in an unstable position since an inflationary gap opens up. If market forces are left to operate: the inflationary gap implies an excess demand for factors of production and over time the wage rate will start to increase. This increases the cost of production so the SRAS curve shifts leftward. If market forces were left to operate over time the economy would move to a new equilibrium back at Y* but now at a higher price level. This new equilibrium would be stable. If the interest rate is fixed at some level there is then another force operating in the economy through the money market. The higher price level caused by the original outward shift of the AD curve implies a higher demand for money. So Qd (of money) shifts outwards. So long as the interest rate is fixed the monetary authorities...

...potential problems of markets. This introduction sets the general direction of this chapter, which is to look at how the market system answers the following questions: 1. What determines the price of a good or a service? 2. How does the price of a product affect its production and consumption? 3. Why do prices and production levels often change? NEW TO THIS EDITION • New headline on campus drinking • New headline on demand shifts for natural gas • One new question for discussion • One new problem LECTURE LAUNCHERS Where should you start? Supply and Demand analysis is the foundation of much of the analysis the student will perform during the semester. Therefore, it is important that students get a good start with this material. 1. Begin your discussion by identifying market participants are, that is the suppliers and the demanders. Students sometimes confuse the colloquial use of the term “market” as in a supermarket with its use by economics. 2. Follow this discussion with the concept factor and product markets. Showing the students how the market participants interact in the circular flow helps illustrate the interaction of...

...Introduction: In this report I will be explaining the graduates’ future in UK labour market and how to improve, as you can understand since there is an economic downturn, since employment opportunities have declined for most workers, especially in today labour market. Since graduates who have high degree qualification is far protected from downturn to those who are graduated recently. There is a quote by Sir Richard Branson, entrepreneur in 2012 who gave a word advice to graduates as they don’t lose hope and go forward when finding a dream job after finishing university, as there is nothing in life is easy, as they have to work for it. “No matter how great your qualifications are, if somebody else in your field graduates a year before you do, they will have a jump on you in the job market. So cast tradition aside – get ahead!” Sir Richard Branson, entrepreneur of Virgin (2012). As I read on I have found an interesting a book written by Gerbrand Tholen as he explains the nature of labour market among graduates and how does recession effect on them. In his book, as he explains further he said: “Despite the lack of jobs for new graduates since the start of the last recession, there is no shortage in advice for them on how to approach the labour market. Indeed, the graduate labour market and in particular the labour market for graduate entrants has been the focus of much attention in media, policy and academic circles.” Tholen, G. (2014). The...

...2012 National Research Report Why Did They Enroll? The Factors Influencing College Choice An analysis of traditional-aged students What matters to students when deciding where to enroll? There are a variety of factors that influence a student’s decision to enroll. Factors such as cost and the availability of financial aid are universally important at all types of institutions. However, other factors can vary widely by institution type, demographics, class level, and whether the student enrolled at his or her top choice. Every year, hundreds of campuses administer the Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory™ (SSI) to their students. In addition to more than 70 items rated for importance and satisfaction on the general student experience, the SSI includes nine items that address factors in a student’s decision to enroll. During the fall of 2011, more than 55,000 students from more than 100 public and private fouryear and two-year institutions completed the SSI. These students rated the factors to enroll items on a scale of one (meaning not important at all) to seven (very important). This report details the responses from the nationwide pool of data. In particular, this report has a special emphasis on the nearly 22,000 first-year students who responded in order to see which items scored higher with ratings of important or very important (a ranking of six or seven on the answer scale). Comparisons with upperclass students and between students at their first-choice institution...

...The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Supply and Demand simulation from the student website. The idea is to identify two microeconomic and two macroeconomic principles present in the simulation and to explain why these principles are categorized as macro or microeconomic. The paper will also determine one shift of the supply curve and one shift of the demand curve from the simulation, as well as why these shifts happen. Their impact on the equilibrium price, on decision making, and on quantity will be also analyzed. Then, it will refer to ways in which concepts about supply and demand can be applied in a real life-situation or in the workplace. The paper will also refer to ways in which concepts of micro and macroeconomics help in understanding factors that influence movements in supply and demand on the equilibrium price and quantity. Last, the paper will refer to how the price elasticity of demand has an impact on the consumer’s purchasing and on the pricing strategy of the company. Macro and Microeconomic Principles Two microeconomic concepts that are present in the simulation are: supply and demand. The simulation talks about supply and demand or rental apartments from Atlantis. On the other hand, at macroeconomic level, we can talk about the changes in population trends when it comes to choosing to rent or not to rent apartments as well as factors that influence these changes. According to Colander (2010), the law of the demand says that quantity demanded increases...
