... “Academic Honesty Amongst On line Students” Julia A. Murray INFT 101 Liberty University ACADEMIC HONESTY 2 Abstract When attending college as an on line student it is highly imperative that integrity be impressed upon each student. Technology as well as other students who have taken the course before can easily be used to cheat in order to receive a better grade. "This paper examines the nature of on line academic dishonesty and strategies to lessen incidences based on proven practices. It does not address general best practices of assessment, many of which are applicable to both face-to-face and on line environments, particularly those regarding objective assessments."(McGee P., 2008) Online learning can be a positive experience allowing you to learn on your own time while still living a full time life whether with your children or a work environment. There have clearly been rules set up and ways to catch dishonesty in school systems. So why would one chance it? If you spend your entire college life cheating then it stands to reason you will have to cheat your way through whatever career you decide upon.

...interactive, to integrate technology into the learning experience, and to use collaborative learning strategies when appropriate. Some of the more prominent strategies are outlined below. For more information about the use of these and other pedagogical approaches, contact the Program in Support of Teaching and Learning. Lecture. For many years, the lecture method was the most widely used instructional strategy in college classrooms. Nearly 80% of all U.S. college classrooms in the late 1970s reported using some form of the lecture method to teach students (Cashin, 1990). Although the usefulness of other teaching strategies is being widely examined today, the lecture still remains an important way to communicate information. Used in conjunction with active learning teaching strategies, the traditional lecture can be an effective way to achieve instructional goals. The advantages of the lecture approach are that it provides a way to communicate a large amount of information to many listeners, maximizes instructor control and is non-threatening to students. The disadvantages are that lecturing minimizes feedback from students, assumes an unrealistic level of student understanding and comprehension, and often disengages students from the learning process causing information to be quickly forgotten. The following recommendations can help make the lecture approach more effective (Cashin, 1990): 1. Fit the lecture to the audience 2. Focus your topic - remember you cannot...

...Instructor: Turk Ciftcikara Charter Schools Every parent wants the best education possible for their child/children. That’s why it is important that they’re given a choice or option to choose the best schools designed to fit the needs of their child/children. What does “Charter School” mean? Information retrieved from http://www.publiccharters.org/get-the-facts/public-charter-schools define charter schools as “a unique public school that are allowed the freedom to be more innovative while being held accountable for advancing student achievement.” Every child deserves the knowledge, skills, character, and habits to succeed college and beyond. Charter schools will give parents a peace of mind knowing that they are fostering a partnership to be involved in some of the top-performing schools in the country, getting their child/children into college and assisting with raising the bar of endless-possibilities. The first charter school was established in Minnesota in 1992, to provide parents and students with a greater educational choice within the public school system. Children who attends charter schools are provided with options to improve educational outcomes such as higher test scores in reading and math, better teacher to student ratios and increase innovative learning.

...process and give technique examples of critical reflection What is Reflection? Colloquially, to reflect means to look back and consider something. Critical reflection is the process of analyzing, questioning, and reframing an experience in order to make an assessment of it for the purposes of learning (reflective learning) and/or to improve practice (reflective practice). Definition of Reflection “The process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which results in a changed conceptual perspective” (Boyd and Fale, 1983) Rationale of using Reflective Practice as an MRT Reflection is particularly important in medicine. It helps us develop a questioning attitude and the skills needed to continually update our knowledge and skills, which is essential in today's rapidly changing global health care environment. Reflection allows for the interconnections between observations, past experiences, and judgment to come to the forefront in clinical decision-making. Reflection gives meaning to experience and promotes a deep approach to learning because it encourages us to reframe problems, question our own assumptions, and look at situations from multiple perspectives as we analyze experiences. Reflection fosters lifelong learning because it encourages us to recognize gaps in our own knowledge and attend to our own learning needs. Perhaps most of all, it allows us to question, ponder, wonder and experiment in a safe environment...

... I find the most appealing aspect of being a part of the BMW 2-year program is the opportunity to be able to dive into all three major components of the business: manufacturing, process and product engineering, and procurement and logistics. It is crucial to understand more than just your own field of knowledge, knowing how the product is being made, the details in the designing of it, and how to ensure its quality and safe delivery makes, in my opinion, a truly successful employee, and thus, a truly successful company. What have you learned in your academic and work experience that you think will benefit you most in an accelerated development program? Combined, my academic and work experience have provided me with the skills to understand the importance of promptness, organization, hard work, and the ability to interact with customers and the desire to fulfill THEIR needs. Beyond those crucial traits, both school and work have planted in me a fire to be successful, and I believe this accelerated development program will be the perfect fuel to the flame.

...Clarke COM/155 March 25, 2012 Online education VS Traditional Education In this present day with the technology that exists there are more options to obtain a higher education. Both online and traditional colleges have their advantages and disadvantages. Deciding on which style fits depends on the students’ needs. This will be brought to attention in this essay. It seems in the present day more students are looking for a more convenient way to acquire an education. They are achieving degrees online compared to attending traditional colleges. Online education is becoming more popular than traditional education. Online education gives more freedom to allow individuals to return to school and to work a full time job at the same time. This gives students the chance to receive higher education while taking care of their responsibilities in everyday life. Overall, it is clear that online enrollments nationally have experienced very large growth during the past decade, and evidence points that this growth will continue in the next few years. With online education, universities can reach vast distances. In return students can attend creditable schools and receive creditable degrees from rural areas. Online offerings are becoming very attractive to full-time employees who want to further their careers – or start new ones - through more education. Colleges benefit by expanding their faculty to include qualified teachers nationwide, instructors who log on without...

CONSTANCIA ELIZABETH BELLO IV. Submitted By : LARRY L. NACIONALES : SPEECH (EMPOWERING TEACHERS THROUGH PROFESSIONAL GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT) ATTENTION: What makes a professional stand apart from others in his field? Of course, he has the educational chops and the hands-on experience that makes him well-rounded and widely respected in his field. But true professionals don’t stop there. In fact, they never stop – especially when it comes to learning. After all, research is always discovering new things, and trends are always changing. Any good professional will be on top of – and responding to – these changes. NEED Over the past 6 years, I have developed, evolved and grown; I have increased myself as a teacher each year, and every other day, in some cases. Predominantly, for the greater good of my students and for my own career, in order to maintain on-the-pulse professionalism for the benefit of the schools I have worked in. Recently, I counted the training that I had received, which I believed had made a significant impact on my career. The number barely reaches the first finger on my second hand. I would not be the teacher I am today if I did not reflect on my practice; remain open to critique and simply want to do better. Ultimately, what attracts the teacher...

...How the environment affects learning Dennis Skinner American Military University/COLL100 April 30, 2010 Michael Carmichael How the Environment Affects Learning This paper will discuss how our environment affects learning. We will discuss how important the environment is in the early years of one’s life in early childhood development. We will also discuss how one’s interest in learning plays a vital role in learning. We will also discuss how active learning and development plays an integral role in those years between teenager and adult and as well as what influences that has on being successful in life. We will also examine the two learning environments, home and school, and how each are changing and as well as how these two environments will play significant roles as each student discovers what’s real and what’s not real and how each help the learning process. Lastly, we will consider how the learning environment is continuing to change and how the digital age will change the way we learn and as well as the effect it will have on our future students and how it will affect the path they choose to follow their dreams. In the early years of development the environment plays as big a role in how children learn and how they development more than any other time in their life. In environments where children are not only taught that it’s ok to learn, but to also enjoy the process leads to an active learning environment where children are allowed the opportunity...
