Comparison Matrix Paper Alicia A. Bell LDR802 Progressions in Leadership Thought January 23, 2013 Introduction Empirical articles are research article that provides results of a study that utilizes information received from actual experiments and observations.

He explains that he required students with a strong high school GPA, an excellent college GPA, good standardized test scores, and recommendations from university professors.
They also can provide feedback for students on their strengths, allowing them to see for themselves where they need to make improvements. Teachers use rubrics to assess students, they make it much easier, more consistent, and objective. They also help teachers focus better on key concepts. By making a work model (rubric) for students to use students will be able to improve and increase knowledge students will acquire. Teacher can better justify student grades by using a rubric that clearly shows where the student rates according to the rubric.
College is all about multitasking. Personal planners, whether paper or electronic, can really help students balance homework, due dates and exams.
