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
Instead of being written in an essay format as Pyrczak (2008) suggests, the two paragraphs contain information regarding the statistical findings. Following the group of statistics, the results section yielded a great portion of a case study which is irrelevant to the results of the study. Additionally, Lin et al. (2004) never referred back to the research hypothesis, purpose, or original questions in the beginning of the article. Overall, the presentation of the results were poor.
Body paragraphs lack development and internal coherence and may only be loosely related to each other. | Argument’s path of development is mostly clear but might be more carefully planned. Transitions may be absent or clumsy. Introductory and concluding paragraphs may lack focus or not do enough to frame the discussion. Body paragraphs may lack development or internal coherence.
Part 1 Summarising and interpreting the information in the table drawn on research by Stanley Milgram. ( pg 11 of DSE 141 Assignment booklet) The table shows the predictions by college students and three experimental results one made by the original study and two variations of the experiment. Where the participant learned with co – ‘teachers’ who defy the authority figure (variation 1) and where the participant teamed with co – ‘teachers’ who obey the authority figure (variation 2). ‘Each participant went through identical experimental procedure at which the teacher stopped shocking the learner . The experiment shows that on average level of shock at which teachers refused to continue in volts (variation 2) scored the highest (380), variation 1 scored 240 and 368 by the original study the difference is relatively small with variation 2 being quite high with the predictions made of 140 by the students.

To these cultures things that are old are disposed of and seen as being less useful. In addition, time orientation may also refer to a culture’s priorities toward punctuality. This may not seem like a major issue, however, there are dramatic cultural differences in regards to punctuality. and situations related to being on time. (Lustig, M. W., & Koester, J.
Educational researchers Gunstone and Watts (1985) classified the findings of the research on students’ ideas about force and motion into general categories. Physics education researcher Michael McCloskey (1983) also studied the types of ideas students have acquired about motion through experience with moving objects. He found that a large majority of college students interviewed consistently explained motion using what McCloskey calls the “impetus theory.” This naïve theory of motion leads to common student ideas that are not consistent with scientists’ ideas. Common ideas from the work of Gunstone and Watts (1985) and McCloskey (1983) are described below. Common Idea 1: Impetus Theory- Internal Force.
Abstract The present study explored the relationships between perfectionism and academic procrastination. 200 students (92 males, 108 females ) were selected from universities in the city of Tehran through multistage cluster-random sampling. All subjects were asked to complete the following questionnaires: Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS-F; Frost et al., 1990) and Procrastination Assessment Scale-Students (PASS; Solomon & Rothblum,1984). Three dimensions and total scores of perfectionism (concern over mistakes, parental criticism, and doubts about actions) were found to be positively and significantly correlated with academic procrastination and organization dimension negatively and significantly correlated with it. In other words, individuals with higher scores in perfectionism scale revealed more academic procrastination in comparison with individuals with lower scores.
Sleep habits and patterns of college students Issues: In the study, they used psychometrically reliable and valid instruments consisting of quantitative items to explore the prevalence of sleep difficulties in a sample of college students. Procedures: The sample consisted of 191 undergraduates’ student. They recruited student volunteers from psychology courses. Students who agreed to participate were given a survey packet that included a copy of the SQI (Sleep Quality Index), a sleep-habit questionnaire, and a brief series of demographic questions. Findings: 1.
The first article I chose came from the Mid-Western Educational Researcher, titled "Cheating Perceptions and Prevalence Across Academic Settings." Kelly Honz, a high school teacher; and Kenneth A. Kiewra and Ya-Shu Yang, both university professors, wrote and published it April 1, 2010. The peer-reviewed article was found on EBSCOhost with the keywords "academic honesty." The article discussed the results of the Academic Honesty Survey of high school students, which determined that the students all shared similar traditional perceptions of what constituted as cheating, and what setting a student had cheated or were tempted to cheat in most. While this article had little to no bearing on this paper on hand, it gave some interesting information-- what a student would most likely cheat at.
