...Men and Women’s Shopping Concept For Women, shopping can be a very fun experience, especially sometimes when we see any sales on the item that we’ve been wanting for a long time and buy. There is a little different for men, because most men find shopping is boring and they don’t like to walk through a crowed mall. The first difference is women are very hesitant when they comes to shopping, because we can not make up our minds about what we want to get, or what we like. Men always look like know what they want to buy and need then pick only that item up. Ladies can take hours to getting one item, while men can get three items in 10 minutes or maybe less. Women spend more money than men because women want everything that they see. Men and women are really different in shopping concept. First, women are hesitant when shopping but men are not. A woman goes into a store with every plan on getting one item.

That is why a woman can be very hesitant. When a man says that he’s going to buy one thing from the store, it’s a guarantee that he will come home with that item because things do not scream out at him, “buy me”. Secondly, a woman always can take longer time to shop that a man does. A lady has to look at everything she finds appealing to the eye. Some women knows when they go shopping are for a pair...

As an employee, I had that part down but I had to learn to deal with many high strong personalities along with adapting to new an administration my third year in.

...SmarThinking Assignment #1 Jonathan Garrett Keiser University Abstract “The student must do the learning” in my opinion is a true statement. A person can sit in class all day long listening to a lecture and still not have a clue as to what is going on. If one wants to retain knowledge and apply it, it is up to that person to learn and comprehend the material that is presented to them by the teacher. Understandably, there are times when one does not get the information right away. When this happens though, it is up to the student to find out why they are not comprehending and get the additional information that is needed to learn the material. Smarthinking Assignment #1 In “The Activity and Art of Reading,” the authors explain to us the difference between reading information and reading for understanding. In the book it says, “we must know how to make books teach us well.” When reading just for information there is no comprehension. When reading for understanding one comprehends the material and is able to apply the material. What do You Think of This Idea? “The student must do the learning” in my opinion is a true statement. A person can sit in class all day long listening to a lecture and still not have a clue as to what is going on. Sometimes our minds can drift off and the teacher starts to sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher. If one wants to retain knowledge and apply it, it is up to that person to learn and comprehend the material that is presented...

...Time Management How successful you are as an online student is largely determined by how well you manage your time. Typically, students in an online program have many obligations including family, work, and a social life. It can become increasingly difficult to find time to study every day; therefore, good time management skills are incredibly important. Here are a few suggestions on how to manage your time effectively: First, you must determine when you are most ready to learn. This will be different for every person. Be sure to study when you are able to focus and not when you have other pressing matters on your mind. If you are not in the right mood to study, you will simply be wasting your time. Choose a time when you are most alert and focused. Second, create a schedule for yourself. One way to do this would be to make a tentative schedule for the day and then write down what you actually did and how you really spent your time. This will help you adjust and also find ways to eliminate time-wasting habits, like Facebook. Third, remember, you are not just a student. Make time for family, friends and relaxation. If you are stressed, or feel like you are neglecting other responsibilities, you will not be able to focus on your studies. When you do sit down to study, consider trying the following suggestions: * Divide the material into manageable sections and plan to study one section each day (1-2 hours). * Depending on how much material you have to study, start...
