A handful of students mouthed off about how their junior English teacher, Mrs. Thornton, hardly ever gave out hard assignments. As class went on Mandrell was pelted with more and more complaints about how her class was stressing the students to a level where they could not really focus on their assignments. All the class came together in unison and agreed that she was assigning them too much work. After some serious thought Mandrell concluded that maybe a change in the way the class was taught would release some of the stress put on the students and take away the worries of focusing on grades (380). After Mandrell was burdened with the complaints of her class, she went home to meditate on the day’s new found conclusion: the students thought her class was a nightmare.

A student can sign up for tutoring as many times as students feel they need to go. Also if the student does not have time for one on one session, they can also get help from an online tutor. For example, last semester Sarah was having trouble in her writing class.
In order to succeed in a college course, a student needs to accept an active role in the education process. Unfortunately, this is not the case with some students. One female student was rather direct about her use of a laptop computer when she displayed a sign reading “I Face Book through most of my classes.”(qtd. in Wesch) There was also a young man that used his laptop in class. He informed the viewers that “I bring my laptop to class, but I’m not working on class stuff.” Instead of the students using these media outlets to research material being covered in class, emailing a professor with questions or taking notes, they are using the outlets for some sort of

Those who are serious about their education, participate in class more. They do this as a means of showing that they understand the material. In every test or quiz given to them, they get mastery or above on them because they study and read over their notes every night.
A couple of the things I noticed were the differences in the scheduling and rules and attitudes, responsibility on my part, and the work load. In high school, we were required to be at school by a certain time of the morning and once you arrived you were there for the day having seven or eight classes with a thirty minute lunch break. In college you have more freedom with your class schedule. Some students may have a class at eight in the morning and then not have another one until two that afternoon. Others may only have class two or three days a week, depending on how they arrange their schedule.
Another way that this homework policy helps promote positive social interaction inside a second grade classroom is when graded assignments not picked up within two days should be discussed with the teacher. This discussion allows the student to explain the reason why the homework was not picked up and provide valuable opinions as to how this problem can be prevented in the future. A2. Self-Motivation The homework policy also includes that students buy a day planner and use class time learning how to use it. The use of the day planner promotes self-motivation because the students are learning how to manage their time in school and at home to be able to complete their homework.
In the article “Fear of Heights: Teachers, Parents, and Students are Wary of Achievement.” Author Bob Chase, who is president of the National Education Association pointed that teachers and parents should more worried about the students who involved in many extracurricular activities after school. He called these students are the “C” students. We know in all of the school teachers like the “A” students because they concentrate in class, serious write notes and review, all of the test result are also very good. Instead, the “C” students very busy every day. Since they into the class, they don't stop talking, send messages and also have a lot of function in school clubs.
In truth, there are three types of teachers: Informative, nonchalant and friendly. There are specific teachers for each students and it is the student's job to figure out which type of teacher is compatible with their way of learning. First off, an informative teacher is the type of teacher that gives students the most information and can be more intuitive as far as teaching. These types of teachers are, basically, for students who desire someone who is straight-forward and bestows facts as well as valuable details needed in order to pass the class. For example, if a student is in this specific teacher's class, he or she will be bombarded with material the teacher presents.
Freedom is the main difference between high school and college but, classes, teachers, social aspects and costs are the major ways that college differs from high school. In high school, your teachers tell you what to do and how to act in school but, at home you have your parents who generally make sure that you did your homework and studied for tests. Your time was pretty much managed for you. In college you are on your own, being responsible is just one of the many qualities a student should have to maintain progress. As far as being mature and determined.
