I wanted to know all the little details, especially the “whys”, and in school, there was never time for those types of questions. We had a certain amount of time to cover a certain amount of information and asking additional questions was an impediment to getting it done. So I find this week's readings and the questions posed to actually stop to think about it very interesting. I was surprised to hear how many of the World Bank's projects have backfired on it. For example, Sobradinho Dam was built thanks to the World Bank's financial help.
The Symptoms and Factors of Anxiety in Graduate Students in a Professional Counseling Program Introduction Anxiety is an issue that has impacted each of the authors of this research project. Our sense was anxiety also impacted the performance and lives of other students within their graduate program. A review of the literature reflected sporadic research on anxiety in a college setting, more so at an undergraduate level than graduate. Additionally, literature connected to anxiety within a Counsel for
A large concern to some students may have when considering attending college online is the fact that it may be harder to get personal help and learn the material through your professor. Without having any physical interaction with your professor, some hands on learners may struggle more than the students who learn well from reading the material on their own. The professor in online schools can still be very helpful; the students just have to take the initiative to ask for help when they need it. When attending a college on campus, some universities require their students to attend all classes, while others leave it as an option. It is
When studying in a foreign country, language, homesickness, and culture shock are major factors with which international students deal. Going to another country with intent of studying is not an easy decision since it requires responsibility and interest. For students from collectivist cultures, leaving their family to earn their degree also requires a certain level of self-denial. Usually, students take the opportunity to go to study in different country because they are looking for a better chance in their life. When they leave their home country, they quickly start to have hard time.
Though academic requirements and student life vary depending on the college you attend, there are basic differences that apply in almost every case. The main differences that students have acknowledged are self-discipline, teaching methods, and structure. The self-discipline required to be a successful college student is at a much higher level than the self-discipline of a high school student. Professors in college put in effort to instruct students as best they can. The realization is that it is up to the student to put in the work and have the desire to educate them-selves.
Working Title: “Identifying the causes for ineffectiveness and inefficiencies in distance learning” Identifying the Subject and Providing Background: Traditional learning involves interpersonal interactions between the instructor and the student(s) for the purpose of education. On the other hand, distance learning is unique in the sense that instructors are not physically present while the student(s) undergo the learning process. Due to the progression of technology overtime, distance learning has evolved from paper-based to internet-based. At the present, the rapid advancement in technology is gradually replacing the more traditional form of learning with distance learning. Owing to the difference between the two forms of learning, individuals often debate upon the effectiveness between the traditional and the distance forms of learning in allowing students to achieve success.
Hypothesis: International students coming to the UK usually have a certain set of expectations accompanied by fears and hopes that are sometimes realistic and other times not. To identify these facts and know to what extend do these fears and hopes affect the student’s life in this country, we’ve carried out a simple questionnaire to gather information about how they deal with the cultural and social differences they encounter in the UK. It is important to know how international students accept and cope with their new lives in the UK as it usually affects their achievements and ambitions, their confidence and social activities, their morality and capacity to absorb information. We hope that we’d be able to unveil some helpful facts and information through this simple research. Methodology: To identify the kinds of fears and hopes international students have when they first arrive in the UK, we held a simple survey of fifteen participants, each answering a set of questions based on the common difficulties international students face abroad.
In modern society, parents and students are really worried about, and interested in, grading systems, as grades are used as critical data when students apply for colleges and companies. Recently, there has been a controversial question whether the academic scores should be determined by an effort or by an achievement. In my opinion, it’s more reasonable to consider an achievement when grading students. First of all, it’s hard to determine how hard a student works. There aren’t any objective criteria to rank students according to their efforts.
Education: The process in which an individual gains pointless knowledge for the opportunity to get wealthy. America's education system is awful at properly educating their students. The type of education that is taught in high school is only to prepare you for what you're actually going to learn in college. A lot of the courses being offered at high schools are impractical in our daily lives, such as trigonometry, Hawaiian history and British literature. These courses are useless unless you're going to major in one of those subjects, but most of us aren't.
Firstly, mandatory volunteering takes the student's time and makes their life more complicated. Needless to say, the students have to meet academic requirements if the university or college where they study. However, a lot of problems emerge like the lack of time for doing home assignments or extreme tiredness while doing simultaneously mandatory volunteering and studying. Secondly, mandatory volunteering does not meet the conditions of democracy. According to the constitution of most countries, everyone has rights to do or not to do anything what he or she wants.
