...Online Education vs. On-campus COM/170 3/9/2015 Online Education vs. On-campus Online classes require a lot of responsibilities, but give students the time and space that he or she needs. (Paul, 2003) Most universities now offer a plethora of on-campus courses for students to choose from. However, many students are not able to take campus-based courses due to distance or timetabling limitations. An important option for such students has always been distance education; Sometimes students ask the question if online classes are better than on-campus classes, and because they do not do the necessary research, their lack of information put them away from something that could be helpful for them and can make a big difference. Even though students must be a self-starter, online education is better than on-campus education because of learning style flexibility, cost, and accessibility. To start with, the online class offers students learning style flexibility because it gives students the freedom to choose where and when they want to study. Students that decide to take online classes can study from where they want, which means that they have a comfortable learning environment. They can be in their aunt’s house and can study from there, or they could be working and take their fifteen minutes break and can study on those fifteen minutes break. Online class gives the student the facility that they need when they are working. Also, if they have other responsibilities that requires...

...How the Environment Effects Learning COLL 100 APU How the Environment Effects Learning Everyone learns in different ways, therefore, everyone has a different learning style. Distinguishing between all different types of learning styles and learning environments can be detrimental to a person’s ability to learn. Once a person understands how the environment effects how they learn then accommodations can be made and effective learning can progress. Knowing what a learning environment is the first thing to understand. Learning Environment is defined as being the physical or virtual location in which learning takes place. That being said there can be many different types of learning environments. Classroom learning environment is the most popular in younger children and it falls upon the teacher to provide an effective learning environment. Home schooling learning environments is at a rise with many new home schooling programs available online. Making a home an effective learning environment will fall onto a child’s parent(s) or the student themselves depending on age. Knowing how these learning environments effect learning in general is crucial. Creating an effective learning environment is all up to the person in control of the environment. It’s important to create and manage an effective environment. Everything a teacher (or person in charge of the learning environment being used) does creates classroom management, including forming the venue, how...

...indicate lesser learning. However, many experiences and studies found out that there are also several factors that would account for the grades. No single factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting grades. It has been interplay of so many factors – gender, IQ, study habits, age, year level, parent’s educational attainment, social status, number of siblings, birth order, etc. In fact, almost all of existing environmental and personal factors are a variable of academic performance. However, at this point in time, the researchers would like to investigate the possible relationship of study habits and the factors affecting it to the academic achievement of under graduate education students of Iloilo State College Of Fisheries Barotac Nuevo Campus. The investigation of on this area thus becomes a real and compelling motivation for the researchers to conduct this study. Education as the key to development is mandated to upgrade teaching effectiveness among educators as well as learning efficiency among learners. Many efforts by school administrators have been done to improve the retention of college students. Academic advising, orientations, facility improvements, mentoring, and continuous modifications to curriculum are being made continuously to ensure that the controllable variables are explored without reducing then self-determination of the students. Most of these student support services have proven to be insufficient in improving...

...Dormitory History From the beginning of the college in 1922 until the mid- to late 1960s, the college had functioned predominantly as a commuter campus. Most of the students were Arkansas City or Cowley County residents, certainly within driving distance to the college. The few who were non-residents were able to obtain housing from private citizens. During the 1960s, the number of students coming from outside Cowley County began to increase dramatically. College personnel such as Del Heidebrecht, Ben Cleveland, Bill Scott, and Dr. Gwen Nelson attempted to secure privately owned facilities in which students could rent. At the same time enrollment was increasing, the college also was losing potential students because of a lack of housing. Heidebrecht, Cleveland and Scott began to solve the problem by identifying private individuals who would be happy to cooperate with the college in an effort to ease the situation. Some early pioneers in that venture include Aileen Haynes, Norman Iverson, George and Betty Sybrant, Vic Bryant, Aubrey Foster, Elmer Morris, Vera Tipton, Ethel Young, Walt and Ruth Fesler, Bruce and Dorothy Smith, Chuck Dumenil and Fern Culmer. And when Dr. Nelson and his wife Lu discovered that it was next to impossible for non-resident African American students to find housing, the Nelsons purchased a house at 215 N. Fifth St. to rent to all students: black, white, athletes and non-athletes. These efforts helped, but other approaches to solving the problem needed...

...Ashley M. Taylor English 102 Professor Catanese “Pining for Parking spots” Its 7:45 Monday morning and you’re on the road to campus and hoping that a parking spot is available. Not only do students face this dilemma, but teachers do as well. Some professors are tardy to classes due to traffic but what about the major traffic that comes with trying to find a parking spot on campus? The morning rush of various professionals during the day is time consuming and everyone seems to have some place to go and they are in a rush to get there. Students who live off-campus have to worry about the possibilities of having to miss a class as a result of no parking on campus. With this ongoing dilemma directly affecting the students and faculty, I propose that USC opens another parking garage on campus to better accommodate these people. If the University of South Carolina were to build at least two new parking garages on campus, I guarantee that the complaints about the lack of parking on campus would decrease, and attendance by students as well as professors would not be directly affected by the strain of parking spots on campus. As a result of construction of the Patterson dormitory, USC housing has the stressful task of trying to find proper housing for the incoming freshman of the fall semester. The dorms normally reserved for upperclassmen such as East, South and West Quad, as well as the horseshoe apartments are now being occupied by freshmen and upperclassmen must scramble...

To increase sales, you should • Train all salesclerks to be more helpful, friendly, and courteous to the customers. • Target sales to fraternity members and freshmen. • Run ads in The Daily Illini on Fridays stressing the style and quality of Redwood and Ross's products and stating the store hours and campus location. • Advertise special sales so that price-conscious students will go into the store and become familiar with the products and store qualities. If Redwood and Ross continues its present promotional activities and fits the new advertising strategy into the program, awareness will increase, which will lead to greater sales in the long run.

...Dijon Miller Classification Essay 11MW 25 March 2013 The Jaguar Runway Every morning many students get out of bed asking the same question: “What am I gonna wear today?” First impressions mean everything in the world today and it makes finding the answer to this question is somewhat difficult. The campus is full of fully-dressed students that can be divided into three styles; the over-dresser, the casual dresser, and the anti-dresser. All of these styles can tell a lot about the type of students here at Southern University of Baton Rouge. The most noticeable of the three is the over-dresser and of course that is the way it is expected to be. They are the ones recognized right away; rocking the latest fashion that looks as though they came straight from the runway. The “designer” girls wear silk blouses, Calvin Klein jeans, and spiked, high-heeled shoes or boots. The guys wear Ralph Lauren shirts, jeans with a designer logo, and strands of gold showing at the neck of their shirt. Their choices of shoes lean toward the brand new Air Jordan’s or Nike Air Max. With the over-dresser it’s always about looking their best at any given moment; no matter if it is “Pretty Wednesday” or not. On Pretty Wednesday, everyone usually wears their business attire. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a guy in the cafeteria sporting a Giorgio Armani suit. People in this category like to have all eyes on them, and while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, we must be aware of those who let the...

...A Way Of Life "A way of life." Many people use this expression as a way to talk about their subsistence and how they perceive their everyday life. What they fail to recognize, however, is the fact that their way of living is connected in a much broader category than they think. Anthropologists study these categories broad, narrow, present, and past to try and find out what exactly a "way of life" was for individual cultures. By studying these cultures Anthropologists try and deduce different methods of survival. They have also discovered a few major social institutions that all cultures have a common bond together. These social institutions are the basis for which culture is founded. In order for a culture to become distinct from other cultures it has to apply different rules and change around these institutions. Anthropologists use these social institutional changes to understand the development of a culture and their way of being. They research these processes through fieldwork mostly. By using fieldwork as a means of research they can directly observe, interview, survey, and then analyze the situation. This gives them the advantage of seeing with their own eyes what happens within a culture. Fieldwork and the analysis of the fieldwork will be the basis on which this paper will investigate the social institution of subsistence and economics among a subgroup of our culture. One of the defining aspects of culture is subsistence. Through subsistence you can...
