...Section 6 Professor Hill 28 November 2012 Four Major Problems Facing College Students Today and Possible Resolutions Going off to college is probably one of the best times in a teenager’s life. Right out high school teenagers are anxiously awaiting the arrival of college “move-in” day or the first day of school. They may look at it as a great opportunity to gain further knowledge about a particular study or better yet a way to finally escape the rules and regulations of their parents. College is supposed to be an educational, yet fun experience, a time for meeting new people, exploring opportunities, joining organizations, but most of all a time to be responsible. Little do teenagers know college comes with problems, some minor and some major. The most common major problems college students face are problems with partying, relationships, choosing a major, and money. Partying in itself really is not a problem (Gates). Parties are thrown so that the students can have a good time (Gates). However, today, many parties have the potential to cause problems (Gates). At numerous parties drinking and smoking is the life of the party (Gates). Drinking alcohol can lead to drunkenness, which can possibly end up as a deadly situation (Gates). Partying irresponsibly is one the causes of a college student’s poor academic performance (Academic Performance). Of course, along with partying comes drinking and smoking. Students tend to act out when away from their parents. Now that they...

...Challenges College Students Face College is an educational institution where many students with particular aims, duties, and privileges go to continue their education. Half or maybe even more than half the students go into college ready to begin their future. While the other half go in ready to learn, but end up in the other direction. Not many high schools are preparing their students for college, so not knowing what to expect can cause problems for these students. The most common major problems a college student can face are debt, depression, and time management. Many students start and most likely end college in debt. Everyone is told that they should go to college to build their career, but what they leave out is there’s a big chance that you’ll become in debt to your school. There is FASFA if you qualify and scholarships, but sometimes that’s not even enough. That is when school loans come in handy. A loan is a thing that is borrowed, especially a sum of money that is expected to be paid back with interest. Not everyone is educated or given all the information needed to know about taking a loan and its consequences, so there will always be that one student who will take all the loans they need. In the end that person will end up having to pay all those loans back. Depression is another major problem when it comes to college students. Many colleges do a wonderful job at trying to get everyone involved in clubs or social events, but there is always that few percent of...

...challenges is how to provide quality instruction to the students who require it. Online learning for the teachers and the students is considered as the fastest growing trends in the educational system. Online learning (digital learning) can achieve its objective of reaching greater number of students by making the educational system move beyond the traditional way of teaching i.e. face to face. High quality education can be made accessible through online learning to students living in rural areas as well as under high poverty. On the other hand, the courses which are unavailable at local schools can be made available through online learning. Introduction Online learning came into existence since 1999 when during a CBT seminar a new word was used i.e. e learning which meant a method to learn via new technologies through the utilization of internet, intranet, CD-rom etc. The e learning tools expanded in 20th century with the introduction of computers and internet. In 1980’s the first Mac made people use computers at their homes which helped them to develop certain skills and knowledge. In today’s era internet is regarded as the most important motivational tool of learning as well as technologies as it helps in making the online learning environment most resourceful (Corbett 1997). The websites on the internet provides a variety of information such as journals, articles, newspapers etc which can be very supportive for the users/students when they are in need.

...Only Benefiting Students How much do you rely on technology for help when it comes to completing a task? People all around the world, including myself, rely on technology a lot. Whether it is with school related, work related, or just personal use. With technology advancing everyday, we can virtually do anything with cell phones or computers. By knowing that there is an alternative and much easier way of doing a task, individuals become accustomed to keep using the source(s) for the easy way out. Not only is it a much easier way, but people lose many other factors and the main purpose by not doing it first hand. Younger generations are the ones that are being affected by the technology the most. In most schools around the world, technology is now being fitted into the school's curriculum in order to lead the students into a successful path. However, it is only giving the students an easier way to find the answers without them actually learning and comprehending what the main lesson(s) or purpose is. For example, when a student is writing a research paper, all he or she has to do is go on a computer, type in a couple of words, and the research is done. Instantly a student can have information and answers without doing any actual research themselves. Technology is not only giving the answers directly to the student but it is putting them down for failure in the outside world when they face the challenge of not being able to rely back to the computer or phone. The teachers rely...

...Three current problems or challenges that make pursuing my educational and career goals difficult are Life Responsibilities, accessibility, cost. These are just three of the many problems that many students face when continuing/pursuing their education. What I mean when I say life responsibility is trying to balance school with work and other responsibilities. There is time spent in class, time spent preparing for class and then the time needed for essays, assignments and other homework. Many people are in school while working full time. Lots of students also have kids and other family need they must balance with school. This means less time available for school activities. These additional responsibilities can lead to stress and frustration for students. Another issue many students face is actually getting to school on time. This is a problem because many people do not have a car so they must take the bus. Getting here on time is also an issue because some students don’t have much time between work and school. Car breakin down is an unexpected problem that a student may face when trying to get to school. The final major issue I think students may face is actually paying for school. Paying for school is a major issue because not every student has the money to pay for college up front. Throw in the cost of gas, books, child care, rent/mortgage. Another issue is many students struggle to pay for college because they do not qualify for student loans and because they are returning...

...Problem Solving Essay Common Problems in College Attending college for the first time can be an exciting experience in the life of a student. On the other side, being new to a college may be a frustrating experience for many students. Most college students face a lot of problems, due to the fact that college time is a time of adaptation and adjusting in your life. Students are encouraged to make some changes to their lifestyle in order to be successful and complete the career of their dreams. One of the main problems that a student faces is balancing study time with personal life. Succeeding at different activities is often stressful and difficult. Enrolling in a large number of credit hours, combined with tasks at work and family responsibilities will result into hectic environments. Failure to successfully perform these activities can leave a person feeling hopeless and in many cases depressed. The best solution to this problem would be learning to balance study time with personal life, along with developing effective time management and organizational skills. Financial problems are also common among students during college. The inability to maintain an organized financial situation will bring disastrous consequences to the credit life of a student. Making payments on time, learning budgeting techniques, and consulting with a credit counselor will improve a bad finance situation. Health issues can be developed during college due to the high amount of...

College students often have to turn to the dreaded student loan to continue paying...

...preferred destination for international students, Many Chinese students choose American colleges as their future college. As a Chinese international student who study abroad in America, a majority of us face a same issue, the issue is international students cannot interacting with local culture. Due to different language and different place for international students, they cannot communicate with native speakers well and do not have many natives friends. The number of international students study abroad increase in recent 10 years, most of the parents rather to pay higher tuition that want their children have a better place to study. International education offers a student a unique experience and exposure to the world by interacting with people from different cultures, religion, and socio-cultural backgrounds. However, international students whose English is not their first language often finds difficulties integrating into the new culture as their ability to communicate fluently and effectively is thwarted. International students use barely English with natives and it is hard to communicate with others. In addition, it is hard to make friends with natives due to different culture. In my opinion, differences in language and cliques are the greatest threat to the success of international education, limiting the experience and knowledge acquisition of international students. Cultural differences present a huge challenge to international students immediately they enter into the US...

...The most important thing in a student’s life is learning process. Gradual learning is very important for any student, be it in any field. Reading and writing are two kinds of intelligence we refer to most of the times. But there are many more things in a student’s brain that we often forget, and herein appears the difficulty. There are students who face learning problems and it’s not their fault. In our education system we end up blaming that group of students who face difficulty in learning, but not understanding why it happens. For a school student, life is loaded with studies. It is not possible for each one of them to cope up with their studies. They often get nervous, frustrated and end up mugging their lessons which is very harmful. Teacher’s reaction shouldn’t vary from student to student; it should be equal for every student. Discrimination is very fatal for students. In colleges, the scenario is different. Here there are problems which are related to politics. One should avoid any kind of politics (that in college as it is fatal for any student. Frustration often appears in students especially when their course session reaches its end. A majority of them either go for further studies whereas, rest of the students search for jobs. Recession has caused huge dearth of jobs and naturally many students are unable to avail their desired jobs. Students who opt for further studies often get puzzled about which course to study and from which college. Because of the lack of proper...

...Abstract Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have recently developed into a popular topic of discussion in higher education forum. Undeniably there are a lot of problems existing in current mode of traditional higher education such as affordability, quality and flexibility. This paper will argue that MOOCs serve as a remedy to address the problems of higher education. 1) MOOCs are made to be affordable to every student who would like to learn, resolving the affordability of higher education; 2) MOOCs initiated interactive classes through various technological applications, to enhance the quality of class learning; 3) MOOCs allow for flexibility to cater to people with different needs or difficulties. Overall, despite some of the limitations, MOOCs could still serve as a remedy to resolve some problems with current higher education but they are certainly not a replacement of traditional higher education. The technology boom has led to a new trend in higher education – MOOC mania. A Massive Open Online Course, by definition of Tamar Lewin in his “Universities Abroad Join Partnerships on the Web”, is an online course for large-scale interactive participation and open access via the web. Besides traditional course materials, MOOCs offer interactive forums that build a learning community that involves both teachers and students (Lewin). MOOCs are widely recognized by its interactive and convenient online learning platforms, and its openness to the general public. Increasingly, MOOCs’...
