I do understand that is cost a lot of money to run a college. When you think about even the smallest things such as electricity for the whole campus, water, lighting for each building and room, and the staff of the university all has to be paid, so that there is a major cost. But then universities give out scholarships and I’m sure that is given out, that cost for that person’s attendance is dispersed among everyone else who is paying to attend. Therefore, I believe college cost must be lowered. The reason why what I’m claiming is true is because the average graduate a couple years back walked away from university
A Refutation of “Are Colleges Worth the Price of Admission?” Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus set out on a mission to answer the question of “Are colleges worth the price of admission?” They argue that colleges are taking on too many roles and doing none of them well, losing track of the basic mission to challenge the minds of young people. One of the many problems, they claim, is that students are enrolling in too many vocational majors instead of the liberal arts such as philosophy, literature and the physical sciences. Not only do they title this claim “Make students use their minds”, they proceed to further slight vocational majors by stating: “We’d like to persuade them that supposedly impractical studies are a wiser use of college and ultimately a better investment. The undergraduate years are an interlude that will never come again, a time to liberate the imagination and stretch one’s intellect without worrying about a possible payoff.” (180). This is self-contradictory in itself.
Students have little say over what classes they will take and when they will take them, as most of the classes are pre-arranged. On the other hand, college is voluntary and can be very expensive to attend. Because attendance is optional (and costly), students tend to be more motivated and are there because they have a clear plan for their futures. Generally, college professors will not hold students’ hands and will not offer one-on-one attention, unless asked. College professors expect students to be mature enough to understand the material or ask for help when they do not.
If the younger generation begins to perceive the higher education system (and accompanying loans) as being inherently unjust and/or illegitimate, what implications does this have for the labor sphere? I've previously used the example of a college graduate working at Starbucks only to find himself or herself effectively relegated back to Starbucks after receiving a graduate degree. If people begin to perceive higher education as being illegitimate or akin to a sort of nationwide fraudulent scheme, at some point the cost of academic tuition and the number of students attending higher educational institutions will contract and collapse. Of course, a pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model. In this light, one might also note that our current system of higher education is unsustainable.
If you lower tuition rates then that will make college more accessible for students who find it hard to pay for college. Students should not be turned away from an education simply because of the fact that they can’t afford it. There are kids out there with the talent, mindset, and knowledge to do goo but they can’t because of financial disabilities. The question arises: “How will you lower tuition?” Will the question is quite simple, the government will fund it. It will be a good investment for the government because we are breeding future, lawyers, doctors, firefighters, etc., people that are benefiting society.
They hire some grad students to help them.They have a competitor Zymagen, who is working on the same thing but they dont know as much as Stonehill does. For financial reasons, they have to sell their company to Zymagen. This upsets Stonehill because he wanted all the credit for his work, by doing this he gets less credit for all of his hard work.The only problem with working with Stonehill is that he doesnt get along with that many people. They have a main group of scientist but they dont include Stonehill because he's dificult to work with even though he has such a high position and knows so much.They finally came to a decision on which emzyme they believed was the best.John is thrilled for the testing to begin,
Anthony Williams Julia Shattuck EN101 March 6, 2014 Competency-Based Degrees In the “Chronicle of Higher Education Commentary” article “Competency-Based Degrees: Coming Soon to a Campus Near You,” by Joel Shapiro, he argues that competency based degrees are good for students but bad for teachers. Students can get academic credit while taking fewer courses. For the teachers though that means fewer jobs for them because students would no longer need all the extra elective courses. It seems as if he thinks competency based programs will be the future of colleges and help students get to where they are going faster. The author does not support his argument because he does not give any statistical information, just his opinion, and he expresses his opinion in a biased fashion.
Is College Worth it? With rising costs of college, a college education becomes a gamble rather than an investment. Although it works out well for millions of Americans, many college graduates have found themselves unable to get a quality job in their field in this economy with inescapable debt to their school. Purchasing an education to make more money only to end up owing money may not be the best solution. Despite the benefits of a college education, such as a better starting pay in entry level jobs and some better opportunities to find world, these benefits are only individual and do not outweigh the price it takes to achieve them.
The athlete who receives their degree will not have a proper education and the proper skills to make it in the real world. I believe that these organizations are robbing this from these people. Troy Vincent and Johnette Howard could not of said it better, “The fundamentals of our academic institutions is for someone to get a quality education and when the focus is not on this the whole model is broken.” The external pressures that influence these organizations are relieved by giving in and providing them with what they want by taking away their student athletes education. It is about winning losing and not about educating these individuals. The institutions have financial obligations, someone is getting paid and it is not the college student.
Pharinet believes in the importance of education and believes that every individual should have the right to be educated. On the other hand, she does not think that two and four year colleges are the desirable educational fit for everyone. There are other suitable education options for people who are not cut out for traditional college and simply do not belong there. Another aspect that overwhelms students is the busyness of college. They often do not know what they are signing up for when they
