Mitchell completed his masters in 14 days. Mitchell provided false documents that were considered as fake credentials that are usually essential or highly advocated to attain a position. Misleading credentials may include a degree, license, certificate, or other evidence of necessary training or experience that is expected of applicants (McConnell, 2004). Jim Sears did not breach confidentiality because not all resumes are considered confidential. According to Johnson-Reid (2000) in order for a resume to be classified as confidential the applicant must come from outside of the government, presented a resume willingly and not obliged by any process or school rules.
In addition to re-creating or creating an ethical student, the author purposes inventing assignments that are built on ethical thinking and constructive content understanding rather than questions directly relating to “copy and paste” from a text book. What I found most interesting is the fact that author makes several reference to appealing to a student’s ethics by enlisting others to help curb plagiarism. It is obvious that when, very little, push comes to shove, students will throw away their integrity to make a grade. Perhaps it’s the professors that put too much weight in what college means to students. Whereas higher learning used to be a melting pot or harbinger for grand new ideas and scholars, for the majority of students – it is a means to an end.
Bijena Adhikari Jerome Parent English 121-56I 03/29/2012 The value of college In this century “the value of college” has been a big debate among the parents, student and the professor themselves. College is not a gateway which guarantees better jobs and better salaries, but it definitely makes a huge difference while accruing one. College is a guideline for stepping out in a real world and tackling real problems. While the tuition fees are increasing every year so as the curiosity, is it worth spending that huge amount of money? And after graduating will there be a secured job?
They would say that a less strict grading system would let the students have more freedom. Some also protest that it would not help differentiate the outstanding students from the average for colleges and universities. In addtion, some would say it would also take a huge effort and time to change the grading system. You will have to train the teachers all over again. New standards would have to be made.
Overtime I grew frustrated and noticed that the only way I’d make it in this life is to settle my nose down into some state educational program to get a paper that shows my worth to this earth. When I say worth I don’t want to make you think in terms of money, even though that’s exactly what school and learning is about for many people. The more you know in your field of study the more you make salary-wise. I just want to know more so I can help people and friends figure out what they want out of their life and how to fulfill their personal purpose. When working with people you must understand when and how to communicate.
Bird illustrates college as if it were some sort of prison for young adults. Going to college is at best, as she describes it, “a young folk’s home that keeps them out of the mainstream economic life for a few more years.” I don’t believe this holds much truth. If that was the case, most students wouldn’t get part time jobs to actually pay for their classes. Sure there are some students that are still financially supported by their parents but wouldn’t they know if their time and money is actually worth spending on a college education? Bird also seems to blame parents for “forcing” students to go to college.
It is not necessary for him to flout labor laws. If he gets caught flouting these labor laws, he could have to leave United States. Furthermore, hiring him as a full-time staff is not a guarantee because of the economic crisis. This makes it harder for company to make a decision in hiring him as a full-time employee. Keep Study At School: His dilemma is a thorny one.
People who go to college now pay to go there and if they fail a class they just wasted a lot of money. If the government paid for everyone’s education then no one would think they would have to work hard and they would think they would have to work hard and they would end up failing once they moved in to there career. The only people that deserve to go to college for free are people that earn a scholarship or those who apply for financial aide. These programs are there for the people that have the desire to go to college. Most people that think a higher education should be free are not very wealth but there are programs like financial aide to help them if they have the desire to get a higher education.
Jobs are less secure…” so it puts a lot more pressure on college students to get a good education. Money is also an issue because people believe that success is money and with no education there is no money. But what people don’t understand is money doesn’t always equal happiness. I wouldn’t be able to live a happy life knowing that I cheated my way to success. So if we stay loyal to ourselves we should have a happy outcome.
Quarter versus Semester System: Implications for Student Learning As Cal State L.A. examines the prospect of converting from a four-quarter system to a two-plus semester system, there are several important considerations. One of the most paramount issues is the impact that such a change would have on student success and learning. There are few perceived pedagogical advantages in a quarter system. The quarter system was designed to handle surging enrollments and not necessarily to improve learning. Among the perceived advantages of the quarter system are: • students can take fewer subjects at one time, improving their ability to succeed in those subjects; and • students who find a particular class or professor too difficult, boring, or unappealing can finish sooner and move onto something they like.
