...school to immerse myself in their culture, in hopes to be able to better assimilate into the new environment. Although there were a few events, the Yonsei-Korea Games, better known as YONKO Games was the most striking one as it was one of the larger scale event organized by the school and is very popular amongst the students. The event was very hyped up as banners where placed starting from Sinchon and all the way inside the school. The school even sent emails to ask for our understanding from the “noise” coming from the cheer practices. Also, I was keen in attending the event as I was very interested in learning...

...Computer Based Learning & Shaw University IS535 –Managerial Applications of Information Technology Abstract On September 22, 2011 I set out to explore the effects of full scale Computer Based Learning within Shaw University. My agenda was clear, my outcome was predictable. On October 15, 2011 I concluded my research. Little did I know, Computer Based Learning would become more than just a technological tool used by the Shaw U. It would become the way of the future and most likely the life blood of the university. Table of Contents Definition 2 Background of Company 3-4 Current Business Issues 5-6 Proposed Solution 7 Recommendations 8 References 9 Definition Many people hear the term computer based learning and assume that it’s a method of college students taking classes at home. Fortunately for those of us that use it, and industry vendors that provide computer based learning, it’s not quite that simple. Computer based learning, sometimes abbreviated to CBL, refers to the use of computers as a key component of the educational environment. The term more broadly refers to a structured environment in which computers are used for teaching purposes. CBL originally derived from computer based training, known as CBT. Computer based learning first emerged in the 1980s. During the 1990s a group of schools were identified as computer based learning institutions. These schools used constructivist and cognitive learning plans. The two environments...

...University of Florida Block Tuition Fact Sheet Definition of Block Tuition: UF defines full time as an undergraduate student enrolled for 12 or more credit hours during a semester in the academic year. In 2009-2010, the average academic load of full time undergraduates was 14.1 credits at UF. In order to graduate from a standard 120 credit hour degree program in eight semesters, a student needs to complete an average of 15 credits per semester. This is considered a standard academic load as recognized by the President’s Honor Roll and represents 4-5 courses per semester. Beginning in the Fall 2012 semester, full time undergraduate students enrolled in statefunded academic programs will be billed for tuition and fees at the rate of 15 credits for Fall and Spring Semester. The fees included in the Block Tuition are the Student Financial Aid fee, Capital Improvement Trust Fund fee, Building fee, Health fee, Athletic fee, Activity and Service fee, Transportation Access fee, and Technology fee. In addition, non-residents are charged the following: Non-Resident Student Financial Aid Fee. Other fees that may apply to individual courses will be billed to the student on either a per-credit-hour basis or per-course basis, as is our current practice, such as Materials and Supplies fees (per-course), Distance Education fees (per-credit-hour), and Equipment Use fees (per-credit-hour). Benefits of Block Tuition: Block Tuition will serve as an incentive to raise the academic load...

...Why an MBA The MBA is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. It is a degree designed to give you the ability to develop your career to its fullest potential, at an accelerated pace. What will you get out of an MBA? Aside from a powerful life experience, the MBA degree should supply three main value propositions: Skills, Networks, and Brand. Skills These include the "hard skills" of economics, finance, marketing, operations, management, and accounting, as well as the "soft skills " of leadership, teamwork, ethics, and communication that are so critical for effective management. MBA students acquire these skills inside and outside the classroom. Since MBA programs attract people from very diverse industries and cultures, a program should be able to leverage these differences and translate them into learning opportunities. Networks An MBA degree program offers access to a network of MBA students, alumni, faculty, and business and community leaders. This network can be very useful when beginning a job search, developing a career path, building business relationships in your current career, or pursuing expertise outside your current field. For example, entrepreneurs need access to capital, business partners, vendors, and clients. Arts-related businesses need access to funding and strategic management in order to position themselves to be relevant in the marketplace. Global businesses need access to local business cultures as they expand their enterprises to new territories...

...“Factors Affecting the Academic Performance of Students” Paulo Angelo Dela Rosa Mary Joy Cantilla James Cañete Ansarie Datua Bonnie Fe Bangero Beverly Acana Introduction Education in its broadest meaning is any process by which an individual gains knowledge or insight or develops attitudes or skills. It is an experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, values, and skills from one generation to another generation. It is generally believed that the basis for any true development must commence with the development of human resources. When we come to think of students, they are the ones who learn ideas to become more responsible and productive someday. Examples of the factors affecting the academic performance of students are the environmental, social/ family, teachers, friend relationships, and socio-economic factors. Almost all of the factors are a variable of academic performance. However, the researchers would like to investigate the possible relationship of factors affecting to the academic achievement of under graduate students of Notre Dame of Tacurong College. “Significance of the Study” Paulo Angelo Dela Rosa Mary Joy Cantilla James Cañete Ansarie Datua Bonnie Fe Bangero Beverly Acana 1.

...There are lot off things that students have to go through college in order to graduate. There several obstacles that students face during the school year, which lead to dropping out of College. To prevent college dropouts, colleges can play a major role to provide them with financial aid, flexible schedules, and academic support. One of the obstacle is finical aid. I am using community college as an example. The majority of students who attend either fall under the category of poor to middle class, or they are international students. Beside this fact they come from different financial backgrounds these students are bright and eager to study and want to secure their future. Families which can only provide enough so the family can live puts a lot off responsibility on the students. It is hard for students to stay in collage since they have to help provide for their family. Giving out different types off aid such as FAFSA, TAP and/or loans provide opportunities and help take the load off of them. A few years back ,in order to get any type off financial help, colleges looked at attendance and students grades. Now, getting into college only counts for 2.5 GPA or higher. Factoring in all the extra money that students can save also prevent college dropouts. Students who are dedicated to education and want to finish their school on time, would like college to have flexible scheduling. It would be Great opportunity for students and provide optimism so they can continue with their...

...alcohol by college students has always been an issue for university campuses, but the problem has become more and more frequent and has grown in familiarity with every passing generation. In past years, the problem has not only multiplied in frequency, but has also grown in danger. Now students are abusing not only recreational drugs like Marijuana and Cocaine, but also prescription drugs like Ritalin and others like it such as Adderall. "As many as 20 percent of college students have used Ritalin or Adderall to study, write papers, and take exams..." (Jacobs 2). Medications like Ritalin are used to provide energy and concentration when a person cannot achieve them through regular means. Students take medication like Ritalin to help them deal with loss of sleep so they can stay up all night to cram and still do well in class. Students are now using similar medications like Adderall that are released over long periods of time so they can keep an energy high throughout an entire day instead of just one or two class periods. On some campuses, if you’re not using Ritalin or Adderall, you are just increasing your risk to fall behind. As one Columbia student said, “If you don’t take them, you’ll be at a disadvantage to everyone else” (Jacobs 3). This previous statement is unfortunately all too true, these types of prescription medications are so popular and commonplace that students attending certain universities believe that “now it’s almost cool to take them” (Jacobs...

...Guns on College Campus Should guns be allowed on college campus? Kenton L. McGowen Abstract This paper will determine whether guns have a place on college, and school campuses. The conclusion that the paper reaches is that students who have guns will be tempted to use them, especially at universities and colleges that are full of drug use, stress, and anxiety. The mixture of guns into a formula like that is simply not conducive to a safe environment. This paper will take evidence from experts, as well as state rulings to show the two sides of gun control in regards to school campuses in order to answer the question: Should guns be allowed on college campuses? The constitution of the United States guarantees our right to bear arms in order to defend ourselves, but where does the line fall where it is ok and not okay to carry weapons? The debate has shifted from restaurants, to stores, and now to schools. It is recently that the question has come up, should college campus students be allowed to have guns? The question is a safety issue and mostly centers around a need for the preservation of life on these campuses, and whether or not the guns are absolutely necessary to have. It has been spurred on by the recent slew of school shootings that have hit areas of the country, most notably Virginia Tech in 2006. There are valid argumentative points to both sides, however. As previously mentioned, the constitution of the United States guarantees...

...Journal Assignment Grand Canyon University UNV 501 For my first article I picked an article entitled A Longitudinal Examination of the Link between Youth Physical Fitness and Academic Achievement. Both authors Rebecca London and Sebastian Castrechini work at Stanford University. They are both interested in knowing if the fitness does help achievement, London has done extensive research in this field. They both work at Stanford University. I selected this article because I am very interested in elementary education, and I am also interested in fitness and sports. This article allowed me to see if there was a correlation between students being fit and how they do in the classroom. This article is considered scholarly because both authors did extensive testing and research for this article. I was glad to find that kids who were fit did better in the classroom. My second article was The Significance of Mathematical Knowledge in teaching elementary methods course: perspectives of mathematics teacher educators. It was co-written by Rina and Dov Zazkis. They wanted to see how math teachers used there knowledge to teach a class. I picked this article since I both enjoy math and I am interested in knowing different ways to teach it.

...“Being a nontraditional student has been an experience that I have enjoyed. Going back to school was a big step for me and I had been very worried about making that step. I was afraid with the amount of time that it had been since I had graduated from high school and was uncertain of being able to succeed with good grades. Once attending and finishing Everest Institute I found that I was still capable of being a productive student. The reason why I’m pursuing a college education is because with the uncertainty that I had experienced and the nervousness that I felt looking for a career in these economic times without a degree, has made it difficult to live a better life for me and my family. I want to be able to pursue any career that I want, and know that I have enough education and work experience to succeed. I feel if I have a college degree there will be a great opportunity for advancement in my current career with AmeriHealth Mercy, I also have a sense of what the business world is like. I would feel a since of great accomplishment as each semester begins and ends. Learning new skills in my field and building my knowledge will give me more confidence to excel. The first of my three goals are to get college education, as classes have become more challenging, I have to study harder and have found I can overcome these challenges. As I overcome these challenges, I find that I look forward to the next challenge and the one after that. Going to college will give me the opportunity...

...Running Head: Why the “summer Slide” Phenomenon Why the “Summer Slide” Phenomenon Wesley Parker DTCC December 12, 2009 “Each fall, teachers regularly spend up to six weeks going over the same lessons their students had been taught the precious school year because of a phenomenon known as the “summer slide.” How kids spend their time outside of school is critically important to their success. It is a societal issue and something that is important to address, community-to-community and parent-to-parent,” said Ron Fairchlid, (2006). Executive Director of the Center for Learning at John Hopkins University). Summer Slide is a name given to the face that student who does not keep up with their level of academic skills over the summer loses them. This situation is usually found in low-income areas. This loss of memory is usually done to the lack of mental stimulation. Since this is a known problem, there are various ways to limit of even preventing this from happening to the students. Summer slide occurs for more than one reason, but the main one is lack of access to books, magazines, or newspapers in the home. In some cases there are no libraries or clubs in the immediate community. Then, there is the lack of education the parents have, most have no higher education themselves and therefore, are unable to persuade the children they need education, so there is a lack of motivation. There is a way of preventing this and for the middle or higher classes it is...
