... Date: 10/07/2012 Differences in competencies between Associate and Baccalaureate degree level nursing 2 Associate degree level nursing is a two year nursing program that is being pursued in most of the community colleges in the United States of America. Students pursuing associate degree complete or earn 60 credits in order to graduate from this program. Baccalaureate degree or BSN level nursing is a four year nursing program that is offered in most of the colleges/universities across America. Students pursuing this program required to complete/earn 120 credits in order to be able to complete the program. This paper is going to look at the differences in competencies in these two programs. Research has shown that quality patient care depend on having a well educated nursing workforce (AACN, April, 12). The main differences between the associate level degree and that of the baccalaureate level degree nursing in terms of quality of care is that quality of care is higher with nurses with baccalaureate level degree of nursing.

...Michael Schell Professor Jill Anderson Writing 202 7 Oct. 2014 Belief Paper: Should College Athletes be Paid? To have a good research paper, you need to have a good topic that has created many diverse points on each side of the debate. For example, it should be easy to create arguments that relate to the topic. I have chosen to do my research project on whether college athletes should be paid. I have always enjoyed sports and i think this would be a great topic for me to pursue. For many years now the NCAA and College Universities have been debating whether nor not athletes should be paid. Each year the debate gets more intense. I picked this interesting topic because over the past couple years I have been hearing a lot of conversation whether college athletes should be paid. This biggest reason this topic is coming about is because top colleges make enormous profits on athletics. In fact, it’s been said that D1 schools make hundreds of millions of dollars. For example, Alabama has made over 90 million dollars in profit due to superior athletics. Because of this, questions have been raised whether or not athletes creating the money should get paid for it. If college athletes were to get paid, a lot would have to happen. The NCAA would have many questions to answer. What sports get paid? Do all athletes get paid? Will Divisions 2 and 3 athletes get paid? How much will the athletes get paid? Paying college athletes would certainly be a difficult task, but it’s defiantly an interesting...

These devices come with an alternative for the traditional alphanumeric or QWERTY keyboard which is input in the form of user’s handwriting. The handwriting is then converted into normal text form. However, these devices require prior training to be done by the user. There is a high demand for robust and accurate recognition systems in the practical applications of handwriting recognition. The real challenge lies with the selection of a classifier which gives accurate results in real-time, while making the system self-adaptive simultaneously. Thus, in this paper various classifiers have been studied so as to find the most appropriate classifier for anonline handwriting recognition system for handwriting in Hindi language that provides a way by which the touch screen device adapts itself to its user handwriting without prior training is studied.

...Prior to beginning task one, I understood that college debt is a growing problem for students pursuing a postsecondary degree; however, I was unaware of its extent. I, being a junior, have heard my teachers and counselors reiterate the importance of doing well in high school so you can go to college, yet they have failed to inform us about the lasting effects of student loan debt. Although I will likely be impacted by student loan debt in the near future, I previously had not thought too much about it. My group’s original topic was college tuition; however, after doing basic research we decided to focus on federal student loan debt rather than just tuition. We believed that broadening the topic to college debt would enable us to gather more...

...Research Problem: The current trend in the educational sector shows a decline in the number of enrollment of the students at higher level of education at colleges over the globe. There could be many reasons behind this inclination but among the major causes, the increasing cost of higher education is the most important one. Hypothesis: “The high admission cost and tuition fee have turned away potential college students leading to a decrease in number of enrollments in higher educational level.” Introduction: In the contemporary world, college degree has become indispensable credential to survive in the workforce. But with soaring costs of higher education not every potential student has been able to afford the luxury of being a graduate. Over half of college students have shown concern regarding the payment of their college fee. This is the highest this number has been since 1971 (Marill and O’Leary 64-66, 93). Also the increasing trend of unemployment over the entire globe has helped in tightening the terms and conditions for college student debt. Although the financial aids have helped the students a lot in pursuing their desired professions but still this number is much smaller than the number of students affected by the high education cost. Although the decreasing number of entries in colleges can mainly be attributed to high cost of education, but there are many other factors which play important role in the current decreasing trend. Whatever the reason may be...

There are still a few cosmetic things I need to do such as fixing up the yard and staining the driveway. Once those things are completed I will contact the realtor to obtain an appraisal to see how much I can list my property for.

Because of plagiarism, writing and research integrity has become an extreme challenged to maintain for college students, especially if they are not fully acquainted or knowledgeable of plagiarism.

...Social Networking and Education: Emerging Research within CSCL Abstract: In this paper I introduce a youth-initiated practice: online social networking that is transforming our society in important ways and has vast implications for learning research and education. I introduce the social and technical features that characterize social networking systems and outline results from emerging research that suggests the social and intellectual practices in which participants naturally engage and how these relate to the competencies increasingly valued in formal education. Next, I discuss one research projects which I am currently pursuing that build on early work and suggest how educational programs might employ such practices to advantage. Finally, I discuss what I see as the educative value of this technology in certain contexts and suggest a course for future research and development. My overall goals are to inform other researchers interested in pursuing similar projects and to stimulate interdisciplinary conversation about where such agendas fit within and advance the aims of CSCL. Social Networking Systems: The Next Wave of CSCL? Recent conference symposia, papers and journal articles within the CSCL community have demonstrated keen interest in learning from students’ everyday out-of-school socio-technical practices about how to better develop future technology-powered contexts for learning (Barron, 2006; Fields & Kafai, 2007; Forte & Bruckman, 2008; Gardner & Kolodner, 2007;...

...Why would a student decide to research, study and then write on Internet security and how it affects all facets of your life? The manner in which technology is progressing and the coming of age of the Internet has raised new concerns when connecting to the Internet. Within this topic, there is an extensive assortment of subcategories that range from identify theft, hackers, pedophiles, phishing, cyber bulling and identity protection laws. I personally have viewed on TV, read in the newspaper, or witnessed first-hand each of these aspects and have personally experienced the affect it can have on a person’s life. Professionally, I am responsible for adhering the security provisions required to utilize our local schools’ network. As a mother, I have the responsibility to install adequate security software to protect my home computers and provide proper situational oversight to ensure my children are safe from possible hackers, stalkers and pedophiles. And finally, as a student pursuing my college degree, the same security issues that concern myself are shared by the campus computer security office; to provide a safe network that is easily accessible to all registered users which is safe from hacking, infiltration and theft of student personal information while at the same time securing the network from phishing, malware and viruses.

Considering that I never scored the highest on tests and constantly asked questions in class, certain students would categorize me as someone that struggled in that class. One student even said “no” when I asked if they thought that I could get past the first round in NYSCEF. Although it was disheartening to hear that someone one thought that I was incapable of developing a valid experiment, I used that negativity to work hard and prove those students wrong. Only then did I realize that I just might have a future in science. Fortunately, I disregarded the lack of support, continued working on my experiment, and submitted it to NYSCEF for review. Not only did I make it past the first round, but my experiment was also selected for the final...
