...Hardy Eng.101-007 11 November 2014 Too many Students, too Little Parking Thesis: In order to create a less chaotic atmosphere, and reduce frustration amongst students, Liberty University administration should: build more parking garages, create better bus transportation, and not allow freshman students to bring cars on campus. Audience: Liberty University Administration. Purpose: For students, the chances of finding a parking spot on the Liberty University campus is very slim. If the Liberty University Administration wants to create a less chaotic atmosphere and less frustration for students they should consider: building another parking garage, creating better bus transportation and not allowing freshman students to bring cars on campus. Main Supporting Points: I. By building a parking garage there would be enough parking spaces for Liberty University students. A. Parking garages are big enough to guarantee parking spots for all students living on and off campus. B. If students knew that there was ample space for parking their cars, it would create less stress for them. 1. Wendling supports the claim that for students, when trying to find a parking space, it can be very emotional. 2. Students already have the huge responsibility of staying on top of class work and being on time for classes; they should not have to deal with the extra amount of stress when trying to find somewhere to park. II. Liberty University Administration should create better bus transportation...

...to Georgetown University too,” my elementary teacher would tell me and the other students. Growing up in American public schools, I was taught that I could achieve anything and become anything. But when I reached high school, I understood that is not entirely true for everyone. There are very few students that don’t have to worry about financial aid and can potentially pay to go to Ivy league schools. However, it is harder for students like me that have to worry about the cost. Teachers don’t say, “make sure you are saving up money for college” because It is just assumed that everyone will be drowned in student loans. Public schools make students anticipate going to any college or university without including the key...

...discusses how U.S. universities can give all students an equal chance of acceptance through race-based affirmative action. The topics covered include support shown by Catholic universities such as Fordham University and Notre Dame University when legal challenges have been brought before the U.S. Supreme Court, prejudiced attitudes responsible for the ethnic achievement gap, and indications that student selection can be influenced by implicit biases and stereotypes. According to the article, Part of the reason for enduring social hierarchies such as racism is that people rely on stereotypes to process information, using biases they don't even know they have. These implicit biases, as psychologists call them, are picked up over a lifetime, absorbed from our culture, and work automatically to color our perceptions and influence our choices. Project Implicit, a collaborative research venture between Harvard University, the University of Virginia, and the University of Washington, has tested 6 million participants over a decade. The project found pervasive ongoing bias against nonwhites and lingering suspicion of blacks in particular. Some 75 percent of whites, Latinos, and Asians show a bias for whites over blacks. (Identify at least two issues relating to Affirmative Action addressed in the articles that will form the initial questions) The main argument suggests by removing unconscious discrimination from the admissions process, universities can give all students an equal chance...

...TOPIC Many university students engage in paid employment. Discuss the impact of this on their academic performance and their overall experience at university. ABSTRACT Many university engage in paid employment for various reasons such as earning extra income, work experiences. Working while studying provides a stronger basis of working experience for later professional graduate employment and also earns a considerate amount of income that supports the basis of living against the rising inflation and cost of tuition fee. However it is possible that this has detrimental effects on a higher GPA. Not that students lack of intellectual value but rather this is a choice to emphasize on working more rather on studying. Studies have found that there is a direct correlation between increasing working hours and decreasing performance in studying. In this report, it will analyze the relevant data from primary sources and other secondary sources to identify how those reasons and other differentiating factors such as gender, language background, attendance and hours of work would affect their academic performances as well as social experience. BACKGROUND and LITERATURE REVIEW Craig Zimitat, 2003, The first year experiences, Griffith University. The report mainly focuses on the impact of employment within the timeframe of first year student. The data is collected via Griffith survey in large distribution and organized in three groups. The first group represents full-time students not in...

...many unappreciative students, and puts the structure of education in the hands of the state- a structure that can be less than trustworthy. This first thought expresses that implementation of this program would mean a standardization of the college experience that would limit the amount of specialization a person could receive in college. This could mean that a person would come out of undergraduate, while having more general knowledge, less knowledge in their specific field than one may gain in a libertarian system. This could...

...getting into the University of Virginia will be no problem. You and your best friend have planned on going to Virginia since you were kids; his father attended and has told you many stories of his escapades while there. One problem, your best bud only has a 2.5 GPA, and hasn’t exactly applied himself during high school; he may not get in. You rush to the mail box everyday hoping for an acceptance letter, and this day it’s there. You eagerly rip into it only to read “We are sorry, but you have not been accepted to this year’s freshmen class”; you are heartbroken. The phone rings, you answer to the sounds of your best bud screaming “we’re going to Virginia baby!”; how can this be? The answer, he’s a legacy and you’re not. Legacy admission practices have long been a topic of controversy. Many claim they are unethical and violate anti-discrimination laws while others claim they are a financial necessity and help boost school loyalty. Each side has valid arguments, deciding who’s right or wrong is up to you. The article “The curse of Nepotism”, featured in The Economist, paints a jaded picture of the Legacy admission practices of Universities across the country. The article reminds us that this country was founded on the idea that you can achieve your goals by working hard, and being honestly committed to it. The idea of being rewarded for hard work, and not for who you are is the American way, isn’t it? The article gives detailed statistics showing that universities using legacy admission...

...many things with a regular school day, some of these will be longer classes, sports at a later time, makes less time for kids to do their homework, and go longer into the summer.. The longer classes are to make up the day that was lost for the three day weekend. They could have an earlier start time to make it to where the school would still end at three o'clock. Secondly with the longer classes will make sports go later on into each evening. This gives less time for kids to do their homework or any chores that they have to do at the end of the day and after school. Kids will have to go more weeks in the school year because it is required for all students to go 180 days for a school year. This will cut into families summer plans. When 2,700 schools were polled 67% said that it was...

KEY FINDINGS OF PRIMARY RESEARCH 3.1 Primary research undertaken 3.2 Questionnaire sample 3.3 Initial questions 3.4 Knowledge of structure 3.5 Plan 4. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Conclusions 4.2 Recommendations Executive Summary This research project is being carried out by Nick Codrington and Elliot Neil, two second year foundation degree students studying business and enterprise. The report aims to establish young people attitude toward the recent change in the fee structure system implemented by university’s. Our research aims to look at the impact the rise in tuition fees will have on the decision young people make on weather on not to go into higher education. The higher education act came under review in 2010 with a view to moving university to a free market enabling them to set their own structures at a capped limit of £9,000 per annum. As our research will show applications to attend colleges and universities through UCAS have been increasingly rising prior to the any review on tuition fees. The number of applicants to university’s reached its peak in 2005 and then declined slightly in 2006. Since then the applications have seen a rise every year until the announcement of the fee structure change. The number of applicants applying from lower socio-economic groups is increasing and population surveys suggest that the overall demand for higher education is higher...

...a degree program from a major university has migrated to the online spectrum. Ashford University is one of the many institutions that are offering students degree plans online but in order to remain successful it must provide the student with more support, reliability and maintain more consistency for students. Formally known as St. Clare College, Ashford University was founded in 1918 as a junior college in Clinton, IA. In 2005, the school was purchased by Bridgepoint Education and the name was changed to Ashford University. The school intends to foster learning on all levels through technology. Although they do a good job of fostering learning, there are a few shortcomings that are being noted by students in all career fields. Statement of Problem The communication seems to break down between students and advisors over time. Upon initial enrollment the student is assigned three important contacts that play an important role in the initial success of the student. The enrollment, financial, and academic advisors do a good job of initially keeping in contact with student. Once the student begins to get in the flow of his/her schedule, the advisors seem to become less and less involved in the students educational experience. The enrollment advisor rarely keeps the student informed, or gets the input from the student on which classes they would like to take next. This is very different from a traditional university where the student gets to control their academic...

...is why the tuition is rising for both public and private universities and colleges. Since the students debt is higher than ever and graduates can’t find a good paying jobs in the market. Why do higher education such as colleges becoming expensive for students? Some students in college or university are facing financial woes including myself because of limited funds for the school year. We as students are facing some tough difficulties when it comes to pursuing the degree we want to get. Colleges and universities are becoming expensive and more students are going to the third options because of finance problems and we should try to work something out about these higher tuition rates cause some drop outs and low enrollments for some colleges and universities. According to a search done by Peter Cohen, “The lack of difference in value between state schools and the more prestigious private colleges is compelling. A private college - including tuition, room and board - costs about $50,000 a year, compared to half that price for a state school. But according to a study cited by The New York Times, the average lifetime incomes of comparably talented graduates of public and private institutions are about the same for most students - in terms of financial value, it's hard to justify the tuition difference” (Cohan). This means that private or prestigious colleges are even more expensive than a regular private or public university and this leaves a questions in the mind of a high school...

The knowledge gained by working students through education enables their potential abilities to be optimally utilized in the future; which open the doors for many opportunities to them to achieve better prospects in career growth. Because education has played a paramount role in the modern industrial world, especially in the United States, the President Obama unveiled a proposal in 2015, which stated that every college student in America is given the opportunity to attend community college free of charge. Since then, enhancing the education of working college students has been a task for...

...You’re a senior in high school and you have a year left to decide what you want to do with your life, but before you can do that, you should possibly begin figuring out where you would like to go to to further whatever type of education you have in mind. Though there are hundreds of different colleges you can choose from, there are only two types; Community Colleges and Universities, while both are an ideal path for a student coming out of high school, Community Colleges are comparably smaller, offer more flexibility, and are less expensive. These characteristics make them a better alternative for most students. Although Community Colleges are smaller, after graduating from High School, a smaller college might just be exactly what you’re looking...

...A part time job is generally considered to be employment that is less than 40 hours of work per week. Some employers consider between 32 and 40 hours of work per week to be full time, but part time jobs are usually classified as anything less than 40 hours. Taking part time jobs has become the phenomenon among university student and SPM leavers. There so many kind jobs available for part time such as being a waiter, delivery something or cleaning service. There are many advantages by doing the part time jobs. One of the advantages is that students can earn money. Some students have to earn money on their own to pay their university fees without having to ask their family for money and students can learn how to survive without the help of their family. The university student and SPM leavers also have to earn money to buy their important stuff to help them doing their activity for their studies and entertainment. Another advantage is working part time jobs can give them work experience before their real working environment. After gaining many experiences from the working situation, it can help students to find a good career after university. This experience also can teach them how to deal with the situation in the workplace and discipline of work. Part time jobs also can help students develop their organizational and multi-tasking skills. They will have to get used to holding a job and attend the university simultaneously. It is the chance to learn time management. Working will...
