short term review is not likely to be of much benefit.” Short term review and trying to each students content are, in essence, what coaching programs are doing. Again, students should prepare in the long run for entrance exams by taking harder classes in high school. Unfortunately, in the United States many students from low-income families are in schools where they are not encouraged to take rigorous academic courses or the courses are just not offered to the students. There is also a positive correlation between family income and test performance. (Depalma).
When attending lectures they are usually presented to a group at the same time and it allows for immediate questions and changes. Professors can distribute to students or recommend options for help for study aids. When doing group projects students can get together more easily to complete tasks. Students have hands on practice of processes and procedures with class work. The professors can select from a variety of assignments.
Some people deserve a second chance, but it shouldn’t be given to someone that doesn’t show effort towards school. If someone is failing a class you can’t always blame the student. You have to put in perspective that the teacher could be bad at teaching,or perhaps the student missed a lot of class due to being sick,or maybe the class is just too hard. So however, handing out extra credit could be tolerable to the students that show effort, and not to the students who mess around in class. One reason a student should receive extra credit to pass, is that they have trouble with that one specific subject.
A disadvantage of going to a private school might be that sometimes students are isolated from other social challenges. However some sociologists would argue that the type of school is not the most important thing that effects your achievement. They would say that what goes on in a school ay be more important. For example if you are labelled. Labelling is when teachers give you a 'nickname' reflected on the behaviour of the student, for example, if a student is working very well in a certain subject, then your teacher might label you the
The professors are teaching the students in the fast-track programs several of things, however the time to grasp and learn these topics are less- thus resulting in the quantity of people who have the diploma or degree to be greater, however the quality of their education will be lesser. Diane Wong (2010) has found that Mcdonaldization has changed the higher education system as examinations are being marked by computers and not individually by lecturers. Wong (2010) states that although this increases efficiency for the lectures, the students education is now valued on the basis of a standardised grade rather than an overview of their progress and achievements. Another principle that could be applied to the fast-track programs is the control principle, which is the substitution of human labor with non-human labor. Many assignments and lessons are being taught through a computer, as some students do not have the ability or the time to
A reader unfamiliar with distance learning might not realize all of the advantages that this approach to education produces. Distance learning provides a student with the flexibility of completing the work at a chosen time and place, allowing students the opportunity to work or spend their time as they choose. Students that live remote distances from campuses, have an opportunity to take classes, that otherwise would be impossible. Online learning provides fewer distractions than in a typical classroom setting. Distance learning is less expensive than traditional classes, due to the savings from area such as; commuting expenses, cost of eating out, clothing cost, loss of work, and babysitting
The education that Community College provides is different from that of a four year university. While many people believe that University is by far better, "Community Colleges tend toward fewer students per class, which means more student/teacher interaction. This is good for students who like access to their instructors so they can ask questions and avoid getting lost"1. Fewer student to teacher ratio means more one on one time with student and teacher, therefor enhances a students learning. It also means more recognition per student and individual teaching.
This can be very daunting, for very few have actually taken steps to ensure that they will become successful during their trials and tribulations of student life. So how could a student take a personal outlook on college success and make it so that they take responsibility for it? There are many steps that could be taken, but through personal involvement with school, this writer feels as though that there are three key elements to student success. If a student were to take a personal responsibility to prepare, evaluate, and plan their college requirements, they can guarantee his or her success while pursuing their education. Preparing for success in school might seem like an easy enough task, but when the responsibility finally falls on the student, he or she is often caught off guard.
A day without media Nowadays, living without technology is impossible. The ICMPA research paper about "A Day Without Media" shows that how much is media important for some students. Also these research indicate that a day without media has its own positive and negative effects to each student. One of the positive effects for some students was focusing more in class and homework which improve their grades . These students mentioned that because they did not have access to internet, they have more time to study.
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. Students were more likely to cheat on an exam or test more than a homework assignment or even a long-term project or typed paper. Logically, I would assume a student would be more likely to cheat on something that would cost them a huge part of their grade if he or she were to do poorly on it. However, I do not know if this applies to college students, but the article hints that most students maintain the same way of thinking even through college. The next article came from the Journal of Interactive Online Learning, a short titled "Perceptions of Academic Honesty in Online vs. Face-to-Face Classrooms" by Michael Spaulding, professor at the University of Tennessee–Martin.
