...examinations in Philosophy, English and the special subject. That is why I attend courses of English and Philosophy. I’m sure the knowledge of English and Philosophy will help me in my research. I think what science can answer any question we have about the universe, while scientific research allows us to follow our interests, to learn something new, to give our problem solving skill. Therefore, learning to do scientific research is very important but hard. Every field of study has its own research problems and methods. After I got my master degree, I started to be interested scientific research. For this reason I enrolled to postgraduate course. I’m doing research in the field of pedagogy. My scientific research is devoted to the theory of value and engineering education in Mongolia. My dissertation topic is “Axiological aspect of engineering education in Mongolia”. I was interested in this problem when I was worked in the field of engineering education and collected some documents and data to the value of engineering education in Mongolia. I suppose that my research is both of theoretical and practical importance and it will enable education sector of Mongolia and the future researchers who are interested in the same problems. The problems of education are studied by domestic and foreign researchers. The main...

...Sam Cook September 5, 2015 Dilemma Plagiarism DeVry University Professor Wallis Examination of a Dilemma on Plagiarism Recently while in my dorm room doing my homework trying not to be distracted by my roommate I noticed him on the particular website. I peered over in his direction to get a better view of what he was looking at and I was shocked. I wheeled my chair over to his desk and looked at him with an expression of “are you serious” He shrugged his shoulders and said “what”. I said to him “I know you’re not going to do what I think you’re going to do”. I explained to him the importance of doing his own work and writing that using someone else’s ideas or writings is an ethical violation. It’s a form of theft. “Plagiarism is passing off other people's ideas or words as one's own. It is doubly offensive in that it both steals and deceives” Ruggiero, V. (01/2011). He continued to look through the website which offered all kinds and research papers and term papers. I ask him do you have values. What are your core values? He looked at me peculiarly as if I shouldn’t be asking him such a question. He told me that he does and the only reason he is thinking about purchasing a term paper is so he can focus more time on his other classes and be able to complete all assignments. I reminded him of the school honor code and possibility of being caught and failing as well as being possibly expelled. I also told him that in my opinion he’s rationalizing...

How one defines personal responsibility very from person to person as well as situation to situation. For me a sense of personal responsibility if defined by what is right and wrong? In ways that are like the right way and the wrong way of doing things. As well and the right and wrong way to act or treat one another in everyday life. Personal responsibility it doing what you know needs to be done without judgment or procrastination. How one can Identify personal responsibility is to find what needs to be done and do it as it needs to be done. Ways one can identify their own personal responsibilities it to look over the everyday lives. And determine what those priorities are and which of them are not as well as ones wants and needs. One should separate there wants from needs and from there determine what is higher priority. Examples such as rent or fun, food or entertainment, clothes or accessories everyone have different responsibilities.

...Baeyer's article, “Tips for Successful Students." Also, review the characteristics of a successful student as explained in the lecture. As you consider these, which is your strongest characteristic? Why? How will this characteristic help you to become a successful student in your program of study? I have always said that I am responsible for my own education. We only get out of school what we put into it. The instructor is there to present the information and provides a framework for understanding. It is my job as a student to fill in the spaces with my own understanding. I can clarify my understanding by asking questions, which I am poor at doing, and by doing research, which I do very well. I am not a good questioner. So, I really feel that my strongest characteristic is my responsibility and accountability. The best instructors I’ve had are the ones deemed “intimidating”. The same is true for my work environment. The best leaders were always a little scary to me. But once I got past the intimidation factor, I found that they actually had the most things to teach me. And that is when I would ask questions! Secondary characteristics that will help me be successful are my time management and note taking. I am forever writing things down. I find that if I hand write something, there is a connection between the writing of the information and my recall of it later. So if I want to remember something, I write it down. That tends to save me time and trouble later. This is true in both...

...Online education vs traditional education is the same education, except one you are sitting in a classroom and the other you are doing work from your computer. I have learned a lot from doing online classes. In high school, I didn't learn as much as I am learning now. I believe the long-term results and the value of completing a degree in higher education is standard. A higher education can successfully help you improve as an individual. As an adult, there are a lot of rules and regulations of having an higher education and making more money as well. Having a higher education can be move money that you can make such as, having a high school diploma you will have a job pay no more than $10.00 an hour. With an associate degree or higher you will make between $14 to $25 an hour. For my personal plan for my academic and career future, is to give all the potential I have. There is going to be some challenges ahead, but what if you don’t take the risk; you aren’t ready for any future challenges ahead. Completing a degree in a higher education will help you academically and professionally. Academically, you will find yourself becoming more educated than ever. Professionally, you can see yourself having more financial offers as for employers willing to hire you. If you have enough knowledge, you would know when going on a job interview you should have a resume` present. The three reflections that I really enjoyed throughout the nine weeks of this course are: critical thinking, goal...

...reflective writing? Reflection offers you the opportunity to consider how your personal experiences and observations shape your thinking and your acceptance of new ideas. Professors often ask students to write reading reflections. They do this to encourage you to explore your own ideas about a text, to express your opinion rather than summarise the opinions of others. Reflective writing can help you to improve your analytical skills because it requires you to express what you think, and more significantly, how and why you think that way. In addition, reflective analysis asks you to acknowledge that your thoughts are shaped by your assumptions and preconceived ideas; in doing so, you can appreciate the ideas of others, notice how their assumptions and preconceived ideas may have shaped their thoughts, and perhaps recognize how your ideas support or oppose what you read. Types of Reflection Experiential Reflection: Popular in professional programs, like business, nursing, forensics and education, reflection is an important part of making connections between theory and practice. When you are asked to reflect upon experience in a placement, you do not only describe your experience, but you evaluate it based on ideas from class. You can assess a theory or approach based on your observations and practice and evaluate your own knowledge and skills within your professional field. This opportunity to take the time to think about your choices, your actions, your successes...

...Welcome to WritePoint, the automated review system that recognizes errors most commonly made by university students in academic essays. The system embeds comments into your paper and suggests possible changes in grammar and style. Please evaluate each comment carefully to ensure that the suggested change is appropriate for your paper, but remember that your instructor's preferences for style and format prevail. You will also need to review your own citations and references since WritePoint capability in this area is limited. NOTE: WritePoint comments are computer-generated writing and grammar suggestions inviting the consideration and analysis of the writer; they are not infallible statements of right/wrong, and they should not be used as grading elements. Also, at present, WritePoint cannot detect quotations or block-quotes, so comments in those areas should be ignored.

...preset goals can provide benefits in areas like planning, motivation and the attainment of rapid results. Goal setting costs little or nothing, and can aid successful results in our lives, both in academic and nonacademic settings(Shah & Gardner, 2008). Setting goals helps in achieving the best results possible, for example my most important educational goal is to acquire my bachelors of arts degree in elementary education and ultimately earning my teaching certification. Self regulation is one of the most critical skills for success (Getzels & Csikszentmihalyi, 1976). When people commit in achieving their goal, they are likely to self regulate their behaviors towards this achievement.

...writing reviews writing a journal article review You may be asked to write a journal article review. Although this may be an unfamiliar exercise, it is not as complex a task as writing an essay requiring a lot of library research, and not the same as a review in The Canberra Times which is written for the general reader. Your journal article review is written for a reader (eg, your supervisor, lecturer or tutor) who is knowledgeable in the discipline and is interested not just in the coverage and content of the article being reviewed, but also in your critical assessment of the ideas and argument that are being presented by the author. Your review might therefore be guided by the following questions: Writing a journal article review Objectives Theory Concepts Argument Method Evidence Values Literature Contribution Style Conclusion What does the article set out to do? Is there an explicit theoretical framework? If not, are there important theoretical assumptions? What are the central concepts? Are they clearly defined? What is the central argument? Are there specific hypotheses? What methods are employed to test these? Is evidence provided? How adequate is it? Are value positions clear or are they implicit? How does the work fit into the wider literature? How well does the work advance our knowledge of the subject? How clear is the author’s language/style/expression? A brief overall assessment. So how can you begin to meet these demands? step 1: Get to know the article...

I have created a plan that allows me to set a goal and a timeline to achieve competency in the communication skills I have struggled with. Communication skills are an important aspect of being a good leader and not everyone is born with this skillset. Many leaders have to continually improve their communication skills and work hard to develop such skills. There are many different types of communication skills for example oral, written, observation, team and even skills in dealing with your own feelings. In order to be a great leader one should possess competency in all types of commination skills. Communication skills are important to leadership roles because strong leadership is the backbone of an organization. To have success with leadership you need to be able to convey your message in a clear and confident manner. Communicating in a clear manner...

...Most academics, including administrators, spend much of our time writing. But we aren't as good at it as we should be. I have never understood why our trade values, but rarely teaches, nonfiction writing. In my nearly 30 years at universities, I have seen a lot of very talented people fail because they couldn't, or didn't, write. And some much less talented people (I see one in the mirror every morning) have done OK because they learned how to write. It starts in graduate school. There is a real transformation, approaching an inversion, as people switch from taking courses to writing. Many of the graduate students who were stars in the classroom during the first two years—the people everyone admired and looked up to—suddenly aren't so stellar anymore. And a few of the marginal students—the ones who didn't care that much about pleasing the professors by reading every page of every assignment—are suddenly sending their own papers off to journals, getting published, and transforming themselves into professional scholars. The difference is not complicated. It's writing. Rachel Toor and other writers on these pages have talked about how hard it is to write well, and of course that's true. Fortunately, the standards of writing in most disciplines are so low that you don't need to write well. What I have tried to produce below are 10 tips on scholarly nonfiction writing that might help people write less badly. 1. Writing is an exercise. You get better and faster with practice. If you...
