It is estimated that a TCC student who completes the degree through the textbook-free initiative might save one-third on the cost of college. B. Most students try to cut corners when it comes to buying textbooks. 1. A young lady in my total wellness class found a total wellness textbook on Amazon.com for five dollars while I paid the full eighty dollars at Broward College library 2.
The program was designed to encourage reading, students go to the school library and select books to read that have a green sticker on the front. After reading the book, they can go to the computer, log in on the Reading Counts program, and answer 10 questions about the book. Every student was required to pass at least two quizzes every month from 7th to 8th
College freshmen, being inexperienced and ignorant, are not accustomed to college which can lead them down the path to failure. With so many career choices, it is difficult for incoming college freshman to choose a career path that they will stick with; many of these students did not take the time to explore all of their options. They choose to pursue a random degree because of the salary; they jump toward the first major they find interesting; they choose an area that they later find is too difficult for them to achieve. Many decisions were probably forced onto freshmen without taking proper consideration before choosing a major. “I did not know exactly what I wanted to do,” said Colby Fruge, a former student of McNeese University.
A young man in Malaysia gave descriptions of some of the videos and a Portuguese professor downloaded the rest to a photo sharing site for her. The next day she passed her exam and was so happy and decided to take computer science 101 online. I’m sure this girl was an inspiration for not only not giving up, but students who can’t afford college so now they may take it online. If this type of learning was going to be the new style over the next 5 years I would suggest that only the basics are taught online, rather than courses of interest. I find that you need at least some of the experience of the college life and hands on in the classroom to know what you really want to
In fact, over two thirds of college seniors have some loan debt upon graduating (FinAid). This is where I believe digital textbook and education content can make a huge impact. Commonly called eBooks or e-textbooks, their acceptance has only recently begun to be commonplace and are becoming increasingly popular among students, with 11% purchasing an e-textbook in the past year (Yu). Although the projected costs of e-textbooks to consumers has not been extensively studied, pilot programs at schools such as Virginia State University have partnered the school with start-up e-textbook publishers and successfully charged as low as $20 dollars for a class ebook and supplemental material
But the problem isn’t that the teachers give it, the problem is that students have no time for studying and doing there homework. This essay will hopefully persuade you to realize why students need less homework and why they don’t have time for studying. Students come home from school and because of their heavy coursework, have to start their home work immediately. Because of this, the students cannot interact with their family as much and therefore the home lives of the students sometimes suffer. The students have to sit down at a desk for many hours a day which is not only tedious but also unhealthy.
Online School vs Traditional Education COM/155 07/15/12 Paul Neuhausen Online School vs Traditional Education A very familiar misconception is that one cannot attend college because of cost or simply because it is too far away. Wait no longer, there is a solution to your problem. No more driving to school on someone else’s time, attend school on your time! The school that was never possible to attend just became available. The fee’s for room and board along with gas no longer apply to online classes.
Anil Sah ENGWR 51 26th February, 2013 Three Items a Student Need To Survive In College Most of the students, who get an opportunity to attend a college, find surviving in a college to be harder than they had imagined. For most students, beginning of the semester seems to be easy, however it becomes harder and harder to survive in a college as the time pass by. Being in a college, for a student, is a feeling of being in a war. Like a soldier in any war needs weapons to survive, in the same way a student in college needs some items to survive. Unlike a soldier in a war who needs weapons to survive, a college student needs laptop, smartphone and textbook to survive in a college.
Managing Time as an Adult Learner Leron Greene COLL100 I054 WIN13 American Public University System Miguel Sanchez Managing Time as an Adult Learner Managing time as an adult learner is important because if you don’t manage your time properly you as a student can fall behind in your classes and the results of that is not passing classes or obtaining your degree. Many people believe there is not enough time in the day to accomplish everything they need to get done. Many adult students are parents, spouses, or even have a full time jobs. When you have all those things going on at once you seem like you don’t have time to focus on school. Yes that is a lot for one person but, when you can manage your time wisely you should be able to accomplish your goals you have set for yourself.
I totally agree. High school teachers tend to go easy on their students, try to pass them but not help them with their future. I think that is one of the reasons for such a high dropout rate in college. And most of my friends end up in preparation courses for calculus and composition. More and more computer based lessons have been given to high school students.
