plagerism has begun to affect professors at high levels diverting them from the work of developing students writing and critical thinking abilities. students dont seem to realize how professors can tell whether the paper is plagerized or not.well, professors know what a student is capable of, how they write, the language they use and etc. professors can get previous essays from the student and combine them and realize that the quality and style are markedly different from what they have seen from the student before. therefore, even writing one or two sentences off the internet can be easily found from the website you've got it from which means that students dont have a way out of it. plagerism is more common then
It is a true statement that Facebook can be used for educational purposes but are the students really going to stay focused on the assignment if they cannot control what’s going to pop up next on their walls. Are students really expected to turn off chat and ignore distractions when it’s time to work on the assignment? The school board cannot possible believe that children are going to do something most adults don’t do. The school environment is supposed to be designed to prepare student for the next level of life, college, then a career/job. Most careers/jobs do not use social networks like Facebook as a tool of communications; even though some careers do, it would not be in good practice to start students off this way especially without the appropriate training that most student do not possess.
Their classmates may not find it okay for them to get good grades while they do nothing, while the classmates study hard and long to get the grades that they do. It can also lead the professor to think that the class is too easy. They may feel the need to increase the level of difficulty. Those in the class may not think that is fair either. If a professor finds that a person is cheating, they have to report them to the main office of the college, this can lead to difficulties for a student.
Many of the things she claims might not seem relevant now and would most likely need to be updated. Her essay is constructed in such a way that it seems persuasive, but I do not entirely agree with her claim. In her essay, Bird says that most students in college are discontent with their situation because they feel that they are unwanted. Bird claims that colleges know that students don’t like to study and that they are unmotivated by the thought of doing any sort of work. Bird illustrates college as if it were some sort of prison for young adults.
The way that one perceives, thinks about and ultimately reacts in a situation is the basis of a cognitive analysis. The in class "texter" may not perceive text messaging in class as inappropriate. They feel that if they want to text in class, it is their right. The cognitive mind may perceive the professor as not diligent enough to even catch them and when they do get caught, they fail to process that their actions were unacceptable. These thought patterns lead to this inappropriate behavior.
Tschinkel believes “we are failing to instill a love of learning in most of our students, replacing it instead with a pointless “game-the system” approach”. Tschinkel also states, the blame falls not only on the students, but on the entire educational system- professors, teachers, parents, the media- which encourages the sport metaphor and misrepresents the value of a true education. Tschinkel feels that students can change this mentality and actually take their education seriously however, this transition will be hard. The educational value of this article is for students and professors to realize
Marklein reveals students feelings of being influenced to join programs where they are not able to speak their mind and provide input. Being a college student myself, I find it hard to feel that it is acceptable to say how I feel in certain situations but do not know how to go about it without a teacher having a grudge on you that may or may not hurt my grade. Just like Marklein clarifies, students cannot speak freely in fear of getting reprimanded for speaking against other students and teachers mainstream point of views. She believes that, “college is supposed to be a place where students should feel at ease to say what they feel without being afraid to do so.” (Marklein 276) Giving many examples in her article of this argument, the author shows the unfairness of how freedom of speech works in colleges. She provides many instances of where a student or student groups are suppressed for practicing their actions on college campuses.
Sociology 101 29 August 2010 Students do not always respond to questions asked by a professor due to many different factors. A student may have studied, have all A’s in the class and still not want to speak up, knowing that they have the answer because it may be embarrassing to them to answer aloud in class, not want to be the only one who may know the answer, or for personal reasons. At the same time excuses cannot be made for any one person. The way to find out would be to do as we read and instead of determining “why”, as a whole class, lessen the broadness and bring it to the “micro-theory”. One must find out why one individual at a time to determine this answer to why nobody will speak up in class when asked a question, when they know the answer.
In High Schools around the United States scores are getting worse and worse and it’s due to unmotivated teachers who don’t care about the integrity of teaching anymore because it all seems pointless in this current time. You could make a lot more points about High School and its flaws but these ones are the biggest ones that need addressing. From High School to College, a lot of things change. In College you pick your classes, your times, basically everything. You have freedom to do what you like and aren’t held back by counselors and certain start times.
Regardless of the outcome, Weisenfeld becomes disgruntled and exposes how students attempt to manipulate and take advantage of teachers by asking, demanding, and using stories of woe in order to convince teachers to issue higher grades. If a student fails, should he or she not be able to accept the grades they are given, rather than fight for a grade that did not reflect their work? Instinctively students should know what grade he or she will receive at the end of the course. Most teachers and professors offer students several methods of reviewing how well they are currently doing in class. A student should never act dumbfounded by how poorly their final grades turned out to be considering the amount of information provided by the instructor in order to help aid the student in time of need.
