Read: Read this story of a college freshman—let’s call him Raul—who moves back in with his parents for the summer after attending his first year of college out of state. Even though he feels close to his parents and wants and needs their support, he is also used to having more autonomy than they are used to giving him.

Instruction: After reading the story again generate eight different approaches Raul might take to dealing with the tension that correspond to the eight strategies identified by researchers: 1) denial: Raul thinks that his current situation is not as bad as it seems, because his parents are being his parents.

Debbie Hickenbotham Business 300 Discussion Board #1 Our discussion board assignment this week required us to find examples or images of poor grammar examples we sometime see in advertising. One image that really caught my attention was this advertisement for school. Instead of the sign reading “Enrole Now NIGHT CLASSES”, it should read “Enroll Now NIGHT CLASSES.” (“Funny Little Frog, “2010).

In high school, we are given many standards every day that we must meet in order to be considered successful, but the reality is; these standards are fruitless in expectation for colleges and universities. In high school I did not get the English composition skills, to prepare me for my college courses.

The ups and downs of learning teams Nicole Mills COM100 November 4, 2013 Alan Chapple The ups and downs of learning teams When I think of working in a team or group, I think back to high school group projects where I got stuck doing the work.

I prefer to work alone because I know what I am capable of and know I will produce quality work on time.

Bridget Terry Long, in her essay "College is Worth It-Some of The Time" shares the way that the reaction for any profession, students depends on three basic factors, the school they went to, the major of study they pick, and the cost or the obligation which is taken. In the first place, the school a student goes to has impact, as should be seen from the pay scale data (Long 44). In any case, selectivity rating does not comprehend what school has the higher succeed rate of students. In 2009, the research reports that the graduation rates among the specific schools isn't all due to selectivity of the students but likewise by the departments who make the decision (44). An extensive bit of the issue to understanding which colleges are extraordinary endeavors is the absence of good measures of school quality.
