...Centralized Student Information Center The scope of the required project is considerable, as the system would need to include information relating to 10,000 students who are enrolled in courses at the various and numerous campuses which are located across the Midwestern United States. As a result any development methodology would need to take into consideration the system requirements and how these can best be implemented. Although various options are available for the development methodology the two recommendations are for either a Scrum-based approach (agile) or a plan-based approach (waterfall). Each approach is significantly different in terms of the way in which the project will be managed and developed, and the relative differences as well as an analysis of the specific details for each approach are detailed below: Scrum Methodology As this is an agile methodology, the key emphasis is on a series of rapid development cycles which are linked between the overall requirements for the final system. Such cycles are usually completed within 30 days, and will be initiated from a high level plan which is amended on a regular basis throughout the development. Each developer is afforded a great degree of control in terms of directing the development in the most appropriate manner: • Product Backlog – the product specifications are used to create alist of items. • Sprint Backlog – the list of tasks that should be completed in the next sprint and is prone to frequent...

...his claim, “The student athlete should serve as a beacon of education rather than as a blight,” can be found in the overwhelming examples of student athlete dedication, and commitment, to both academics and athletics. This is despite the derogatory environments they experience in a class. In addition to the exact same workload their non-athletic peers receive student athletes have the added stress of balancing their time between physically demanding training and competition. What’s interesting is the time and dedication the student athlete puts into raising the athletic profile of the college or university, and in return their only request is to be treated and seen as equals in the classroom. At a stadium or arena, the student athlete is seen in the highest regards, proudly...

...Many Cypress College students are unaware of the benefits that the student services offer. The students go through college without knowing how much the services would have helped. Cypress College does not try to emphasize their services to the student population, so the services go hidden in plain sight. Cypress should take the initiative to make these amazing benefits of the student services known to each and every student. Several student services that Cypress College is offering and that will be discussed are: EOPS, Puente Program, Student Activities Center, and Health Center. EOPS, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, is a student service that is offered at Cypress College.

...in school. No matter what academic level each student who walks into my classroom is at, learning cannot take place unless I first establish a positive learning environment. I have learned from my own children that they are happiest when boundaries are established, expectations are clear, and there is no confusion with how our household is going to run or the consequences they will face if they choose not to follow the rules. The same is true for the students within our classrooms. The boundaries I establish at the beginning of the year sets the tone for the duration of the time my students will spend with me. When there is a well thought out plan and students are aware of what is expected, no matter the activity, students will experience effective learning. Centers are an effective teaching strategy that allows self-directed learning amongst students. During a 90 minute reading block, I plan to use literacy centers while I am reading in small groups. This activity will be used every day for the entire year so it will be extremely important for my students to understand the appropriate procedures and my expectations for center time. My first expectation of my students at all center time activities is to use only a 12 inch voice, my second expectation is for my students to respect their peers and materials at each station, my third expectation is to stay on task, and my final expectation for center time is for my students to leave the station tidy and as it was when they...

...have explored some of the study habits of college students in a 2007 paper in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. Research on memory provides a number of important suggestions about the most effective ways to study. One of the most important tips is that students should study by testing themselves rather than just reading over the material. It is also important to study over a period of days rather waiting until the last minute to study. Kornell and Bjork's studies suggest that only about 2/3 of college students routinely quiz themselves, and a majority of students study only one time for upcoming exams. Of course, guidelines from memory research come from studies in idealized circumstances. Researchers bring participants (many of whom are college students) into a lab and ask them to learn material. Perhaps the recommendations drawn from these studies are not that helpful for real students dealing with real courses. To address this question, Marissa Hartwig and John Dunlosky related the study habits of college students to their grade point average (GPA) in a 2012 paper in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. They asked students about a number of study behaviors. They also had students report their current GPA. The students with the highest GPA were more likely to study by testing themselves than the students with lower GPAs. What is the most effective way to test you, though? It turns out that most students report using flashcards, and the use of flashcards...
