...Leadership, Ethics and Corporate Governance In order to identify the definition of a leader, one must first define an accurate representation of the meaning of leadership. There are many ways to define leadership. For example, Webster’s dictionary defines leadership as, “1. The office, position or function of a leader, and 2. The quality of character and personality giving a person’s ability to gain confidence of, and lead others,” While this definition presents an accurate meaning of the word leadership, it greatly lacks the detail in truly defining the meaning of leadership. “There are many ways to define leadership. In fact, there are almost as many different definitions of leadership as they are people have tried to define it" (Stogdill, 1974, p. 7). The definition of leadership has evolved over the years, for example in the early 1900s, leadership was defined as, “the ability to impress the will of the leader of those who lead and induce obedience, respect, loyalty, and cooperation” (Moore, 1927). Today, leadership scholars agree that there is not a single common definition for leadership (Rost, 1991). The process of leadership is the interaction conducted between the leader and the followers whereby the leader influences a group of followers to achieve a common goal. Leadership and management are not synonymous. In numerous ways, leadership is a process similar to management. Both leadership and management involve influence, working with people, and effective goal accomplishments...

...are several opinion says that university students should not be given courses on study skills in their study programme, as they are expected to have acquired these competencies from their earlier education. From my point of view, I agreed with the above topic. The reason I agreed it is because we should not waste our valuable time in university to been taught on study skills. As one of the out campus student, time is very valuable to us. We have to secrete our time between study, work and family. Basically all the study skills such as time management, note taking, SQ3R and so on should be taught in our early education. (primary or secondary). What are the study skills? The term study skills is often used interchangeable with many other term which all describe the same thing – a person’s ability to study effectively, and their ability to acquire knowledge As I mention earlier, the study skills can be categorized as follows: Time management – as a university student, we need to organize our work for ourselves. The number of simultaneous demands being made upon us by different tutors and different courses can be quite daunting at first. Note taking - Everyone takes notes for different purposes at different times. Note-taking can serve a variety of functions depending upon both the context in which they are taken. For an example, kindly see appendix 1 (Cornell note taking) SQ3R – Is on of the reading technic that a student can implent in their study skills. Based...

...all had great things to say and very good advice for prospective students looking to start working when they graduate. The first speakers of the week were Jayson Santos and Blair Napolitano. Jayson and Blair are part of LSU’s compliance staff. At first they jokingly described themselves as the “police” of the coaching staff and athletes. The reason why Jayson and Blair said this is because they have to make sure that everyone in the athletic department are following procedures off the field according to the NCAA. Blair has been with LSU’s compliance department for about eight years now. She says her main focus is player’s initial eligibility to play sports at LSU. Blair says she works with high school kids. Blair helps the high school students make sure during their four years of high school they take their core classes. There are sixteen core classes these students have to take in order for them to be eligible to play sports at LSU. From there, Blair evaluates the student’s transcripts and makes sure that the students are prepared to come to LSU once they graduate high school. As for Jayson, he went to college initially to go to law school but decided against going to law school and ended up getting an internship working for the NCAA. From there, Jayson went to grad school at South East Missouri State and then came to LSU to work in their compliance department. In compliance, Jayson is the person who gives student athletes advice on agents for professional sports. Jayson also...

...an article written by Kara Miller titled, My Lazy American Students, it states that international students have higher work ethics, than Americans. Kara Miller argues that international students have better time management skills, continuously strive for better grades, and will continue to excel no matter the circumstances. While American students, who have several makeup chances, still tend to not take advantage of opportunities, are distracted by technology, and excel enough just to pass. In my opinion, the statement made by Kara Miller is true. International students tend to achieve higher in school, than American students due to better work ethics. International students have better work ethics, in order to prove their worth within the American Country. In Kara Miller’s defending post to, My Lazy American Students, she states, “it may be, as many have said on the Globe website, that international students who come here represent their country’s best and brightest and that comparing them to American students is...

Eminence is something that many students want, but also something that many students are not prepared to really work for. Those learning to benefit from their mistakes use them to adapt to different situations. Research says that living in poverty during early childhood is related to lower levels of academic performance, beginning in kindergarten and extending through high school, and lower rates of high school completion. Everyone was once a student, everyone struggled even teachers had rough times in school. As a teacher having...

...Personal responsibility and college success are both important. In order to make college a successful endeavor, one must take responsibility for completing all that is required to the best of one’s ability. Each college student is responsible for completing their assignments and other requirements in a timely manner. Personal responsibility also means that personal college goals must be set. Once the goals have been determined, the college student can figure out what is necessary to reach those goals. A plan of action and a timeline to reach each goal is also a personal responsibility to make college a success. Although people rarely set aside time, personal responsibility is an integral element for college success. One must set time aside to set goals, and to determine a plan to achieve success form the college experience.

...Life as a Male Asian Student Texas State University – San Marcos COMM 1310: Fundamentals of Human Communications Melissa Novak Life as a Male Asian Student My name is Tao Zhèng, and I am a 19-year-old male attending school in America. I lived in Japan until I was 16, and then moved to America to attend an American university and expand my education. I tend to spend the majority of my days either at school or focusing on my studies at home. My parents are very strict and take my schooling very seriously. Typically, It’s my mom who pushes my academic success. Dad always says it would be her fault if I did not succeed so I do everything I can to not let her down. I don’t see my father much, maybe around three hours a day. But it’s okay because I know he’s working to provide our family with the best care and make us proud (Cohen 2011). (Question 1) When I wake up, I start out my morning with looking at my schoolwork and seeing what I need to do for the day and plan accordingly. My parents and family back home in Japan have high expectations for me and I want to do everything I can to impress them. I then attend all of my classes back to back because I’m taking twenty credit hours; my plan is to graduate this December. After I finish my classes, I head up to the library for three back to back Asian centered study groups. My friends and I help each other out a lot; I have found that we compliment each other well because we experience the same stereotypes and can help one...

...Five rules of student engagement for effective university marketing Can marketing help in tackling falling university applications? John Newbold offers tips on attracting your target audience Establish a link between interests and careers The end goal of most prospective university students is not attending lectures for a few years; but eventually to embark on a career and, more specifically, a career they are passionate about. Recent social media coverage has emphasised the point that career success and happiness comes from pursuing what interests you, rather than what might seem a good idea from other people's perspective (teachers / parents / politicians). One video currently doing the rounds on Facebook simply asks the question: "What if money was no object?" When marketing to potential students, universities should draw this link between student passions and potential careers. Higher education institution Birmingham Metropolitan College's latest campaign achieves this well, with the strapline "Let what you love become what you do". Similarly, Staffordshire University has this week launched a new graduate campaign spanning TV, cinema, press, radio and digital advertising. The idea is to show students that Staffordshire University is committed to their success beyond graduation. Don't talk down to prospective students Avoid falling into the trap of applying your own experiences of university to today's students, even if your university days were only five or...

... Morr/Pg.1 A Response to Steven Vogel “Grades and Money” Many students see grades as the single most important thing in life. But what about that other most important thing in life called money? It is easy to say that grades and money have a relationship between them. As a student myself, I can see the relationship between both of these. In Steven Vogel’s Grades and Money he makes many points that I agree with such as grades should be reports, GPA’s and grades are considered funny money. In Vogel’s essay he stated many great points about the relationship between grades and money. I strongly agree when Vogel states “What grades ought to be is a report, nothing more: how did the students do, how much did he or she learn, how much were his or her skills and critical self-consciousness and knowledge of the world expanded”? (Vogel 390). What Vogel’s trying to say in his text is that instead of giving out an A or a C, Let’s focus our attention on how the student has learned. Let’s see if the student learned anything at all. We have to remind ourselves that most students thrive off of knowing what their final grade will turn out to be. They need to know this to evaluate themselves, so they can be better students. I would agree with Vogel when he says grades should be a report. They should not determine whether we pass or fail a class. It is just a simple way for teachers to be...
