...STUDY HABITS OF 4TH YEAR STUDENTS A research proposal presented To the Department of English and Literature College of Arts and Sciences Lyceum of the Philippines - Manila In partial fulfillment of ENGN 12A July 2012 CHAPTER I Introduction Study habits, in general, can be simply defined as the ability of an individual to comprehend information in order to fully understand and maximize the capacitance of learning in which it became a demand to our society. It does not only limit itself to students often going to school to master and memorize the concepts/lessons he/she has acquired from their teachers, but it does apply on every field of work. However, the problem that several universities have in common with their students is that almost 1/2 of the total population from different departments suffer from failure and repetition of grades indicating lack of proper training and communication. This phenomenon until now continues to be the number one dilemma for students especially when confronting their worse, feared, or even so-called “hated” subjects. Students are also more likely to fear and feel more anxiety when it comes to quizzes and examinations regardless of a subject’s difficulty. Failing grades either indicate the laziness of a student, poor study habit, or the environment that usually affects his/her mental state. Another factor that emphasizes the importance of study habits is the stress levels of the students depending on whether they can handle demanding...

...Introduction: ARCHITECTURE OF PERFORMING ART EDUCATION: Performing art education centre works for cultural activities and performing art education both formally and informally for both children and adults, the planning of the centre needs to be done with all levels of people in all ages keeping in mind. The purpose of any performing art education school facilities is to create an environment which can provide the teaching and learning process and recreation appropriate for people in all ages. Performing art represents the culture and tradition of the country and nation, therefore the education centre also should represent the culture and the tradition of the country. Besides the classrooms, teachers and administrator’s areas, workshops, stores etc, the physical enclosure itself should also generate an environment favorable for performing art education, recreation and other interactions. The planning, design and construction of the community school should result in an environment which can fulfill the above mentioned purpose. Although the schools of performing art education represent the art and culture of a nation, in different countries the performing art education centers were designed with different concepts , design ideas and technologies to achieve a master piece of art in form and architecture, but in developing countries particularly in Asian subcontinent, the planning and design need should be different. To spread the performing art education all over the...

...How to file an effective Out of Class grievance Introduction: Article 14.2, 14.2.17 and 14.2.21 of the MOU governs The Out of Class grievance process. Out of Class grievances are some of the most difficult grievances to win in Arbitration. Out of class grievances that are not resolved at the department level are resolved by DPA in some instances, provided there is substantial evidence that an employee is working out of class. Grievances not resolved at DPA that are approved for Arbitration must have evidence that can be presented to an Arbitrator that proves an employee is performing duties of an existing, higher paid classification more that 50% of the time over 2 consecutive work weeks (MOU Art. 14.2, 14.2.17, 14.2.21) that do not overlap with the worker’s existing SPB class specification. The Out of Class Grievance Process If the out of class work is ongoing, the grievance is always timely. However, once an out of class grievance is filed, the procedural steps outlined in the MOU Article 14, must be followed. If the out of class duties cease to be performed for any reason, an out of class grievance must be filed within 21 calendar days (except Unit 21, Out of Class grievances must be filed within 60 days) of when the worker ceased doing the out of class work, MOU Article 14.2, 14.2.17 and 14.2.21. Remember the only remedy an Arbitrator may award is out of class pay for one year, prior to the filing of the grievance, plus the time it takes to process the grievance...

...I originally did theater as a fill-in class most likely like every teen with a few exceptions here and there. Now that the class is coming to an end I realize how much I genuinely enjoyed theatre and how much I loved participating in anything and everything we did. Theatre one has truly helped me grow as an actor, student, and person this semester because I wouldn’t have gained the confidence and flamboyant personality I have now. Theatre one, of course, helped me become a better actor, I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to accomplish any of the assignments well. I was so afraid and anxious about messing up my lines, or stuttering. However, as the year progressed I started to feel more comfortable on stage and enjoyed it. Especially, the amazing support system that was created by the other theatre kids in our class every time we went on stage because we were all experiencing the exact same feelings and fears about performing on stage. Eventually, those little butterflies in my stomach began to fade because I realized I wasn’t actually performing in front of an audience, I was performing with my friends. I felt confident performing and loved making people feel any kind of emotion if I could with my performance and that’s what honestly allowed me to become a better actor comparing my previous self to my nowadays...

...on the overall assessment criteria. However, your final grade will be determined holistically over the three dances. This task will take approximately 9-10 weeks to complete, although this time will be divided up through out your dance course. The material and information covered in this unit will support the development of your knowledge of the Modern Contemporary Dance genre. The dances you will be performing within the contemporary genre are: Contemporary Dance One: “The Shadow People” Term 3, Week 10 A group dance choreographed by multimedia artist and choreographer, Sharyne Lewis. This dance is based on ideas associated with being a ghost in modern society, with the belief of existence outside of society’s acceptable norms.

...In a study conducted by the University of Chicago, it was found that families enrolled their children at low performing schools because the high performing schools hey were designated was too far from where they lived (De La Torre 4). These parents had no alternative but to enroll their kids in low performing schools because they don’t want to travel far due to security reasons and gang rivalry between neighborhoods. Now these parents have to worry about their kids getting taught well or getting the education they need because they are at a lower performing school, which is a disadvantage. In the report Twelve Months Later: The Impact of School Closings in Chicago states, “[cps] has put 16,000,000 for the Safe Passage on the way to school, but none of these have been evaluated”(Caref 11). It’s useful that they put the money there, but it makes no difference that they have not evaluated the programs, which makes it intimidating for parents who have to cross different neighborhoods with the risk of getting hurt. As we know now, gang violence is everywhere just because they...

However, although this class may have made me feel extremely uncomfortable as I am not a theater junkie or actor by any means, it allowed me to gain more confidence in my own abilities and also taught me important life lessons.

Wolfe, Ph.D. Email: terancew@marshall.usc.edu Office: Bridge 307-F Phone: 213.740.0765 FAX: 213.740.3582 Office Hours: by appt Course Overview GOAL: The goal of this course is to enhance participant understanding of the nature and the processes of effective groups, and what it takes to build and lead them as high performance teams. Teams are an endemic aspect of culture and society. Whether playing sports, singing choir, playing in the orchestra, performing ballet, or parenting, one is engaged in team-based activities. Organizations increasingly rely upon teams as a primary work unit. Whether you are in supply chain management, customer relationship management, marketing and sales, new product development, manufacturing engineering, project management, information systems, cross-functional task forces, or consulting, you will inevitably be solicited to contribute to team-based organizational initiatives. Despite their ubiquity and our collective competence in building and leading sports and performance teams, there is often little understanding of what it takes to build a cohesive and effective work team. Members are assigned, objectives are given, resources (if you’re lucky) are...

...should be handle differently. Those phases are Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning. In our Case Study, The Forgotten Team Member, our team is in the storming phase. By understanding the phases and identifying the current stage that Christine’s team is in, would help Christine in being the Team Coordinator of her class project team. Problem Identification According to our text, the storming stage is characterized by high emotions and tension, it is the most tumultuous period of team the development. Coalitions and cliques start to emerge, individuals start to jockey for positions of status, and obstacles that prevent the team for achieve start to become present. (Schermerhorn 156-157). This true for Christine’s team. Although she was appointed leader of the group, Steve, the businesslike personality, made sure that he was keeping the group on task, a role generally performed by the leader. Mike’s social loafing is starting to make him feel as an outsider to the group, he’s passive-aggressive behavior further emphasizes his outsider status. The other members are team members willing to take direction and do what is ask and above. The objective of Christine’s team is to develop a seven-page written analysis and presentation for their class project. The goal is to obtain the highest grade possible because this objective represents 30% of their overall score in the class. This goal is in jeopardy because the team is in week 5...

...A Charter School is a school established to provide students and parents with more choices in the types of educational opportunities and programs that are available within the public school system. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough School Board approves of community-based charter schools. All Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District (MSBSD) Charter School programs are open to student’s applications who reside within the school district. Starting a charter school is truly a community effort. However, the rewards we may find by creating a new educational option for children are well worth the effort. The first question we want to answer is why do we want to start a charter school? As a charter developer, we need to have a clear answer to this question. Matanuska-Susitna Valley residents desire a school that provides a rich and comprehensive educational program for students with talents and potential in dance, instrumental music, vocal music, theatre, and visual art or media arts. This school will provide students and parents with expanded choices in the types of educational opportunities that are available within the public school system to maximize each student’s special talents. Our graduates will increase the quality of their life, the lives of people who surround them, and the respective communities of the Valley. There are many people interested in helping to start our charter school waiting for recruitment. These founders will include parents, teachers, school principals...

...Comparison of On-line Class to a Team MGMT 591 Keller In this response I will discuss social loafing, group development and comparing our class to a team or group. Social loafing occurs when people work less hard in groups than they would individually. An effective team/group according to the text is one that achieves a high level of task performance, member satisfaction and team viability. One of the Keller student mottos: "you get out what you put in" relates to avoiding social loafing in the online community. Ways to social loaf: 1. wait until others post in a discussion to avoid doing any of the initial foot work--then you can just comment on someone else's work and still engage in the discussion. 2. Only read what the professor writes and answer his/her queries and questions, avoiding interacting with the other team members and thereby not really gaining anything through the process of discussion. 3. avoid reading the textbook on a deep and intimate level by cruising around the message board and picking up the application of the material--as you know this is how you will be tested anyhow! The text uses the show Survivor as an example. One contestant who wasn't very physically able is simply to mind the fire overnight, but doesn't and sleeps instead, knowing that one of the others will "cover" for him anyway. Although the tasks gets done, his social loafing jeopardized his role and eventually his respect by the others and he was voted out of the tribe. The...

...Summary Read-Only Participants: A case for student communication in online classes. Online learning is conducive to that of the traditional onsite learning facilities. There are some students who fully participate in the experience as well as those who take their learning environments for granted. A summary of the required reading “Read-only participants: a case for student communication in online classes” will support the noted claim. The study was completed to measure the various behaviors of the online learner. The research gathered the behaviors of students participating the in a Master’s degree web-based curriculum through the University of Pretoria. Beaudoin is noted as one of the greatest contributors to this case study. The study was broken into various parts. To support the introduction and conclusion of the study, the body included: Background, Literature, Context of this study, Methodology, and the Discussion. A breakdown of each subtopic of this study will be discussed in this summary. I have taken several online classes prior to reading this study and I found it to be very supportive to my conclusive evaluation of the practice. Although this study was completed in 2009, I can relate that my prior experiences in online classes were parallel to the researcher’s findings. The introduction made the reader aware that there are challenges to online learning and that “the establishment of an online community is widely held as the most important prerequisite...

...school systems need to keep up with the evolving and demanding expectations that students will face in higher education and the workforce. Maryland’s school system is a national leader in the education field, and their goal is to become world class leaders; so they must create reforms that reflect the current needs and create the largest impact for student growth. To achieve their primary goal, Maryland is focusing on five main areas to support the Race to the Top federal grant, Maryland’s Third Wave of Reform (Maryland State Department of Education, Preparing World-Class Students, 2012). Maryland has adopted the Common Core State Standards and PARCC assessments to ensure that the students will be prepared for the increasing demands of a global society. In order to meet the rising needs of 21st century students, the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) developed the Maryland Common Core State Curriculum which aligns with the new national standards and assessments. These higher standards have raised the expectations for our students and are providing them with opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of the skills they need to be prepared to enter college and careers without the need for remediation (MSDE, Preparing World-Class Students, 2012). This Race to the Top strategy is universalistic because it takes the position of a reform view for the assumption, purposes of schooling (Astuto, Clark, Read, McGree, Fernandez, 1994). This strategy focuses on implementing...
