...Research on College Students’ Part-time Employment and Current Situation of Safeguarding Their Legal Rights | June 7, 2011 Abstract Nowadays, college students’ taking part-time jobs is becoming a common phenomenon. College students, a group people who are the pioneers to build the future society, their behavior on choosing and doing part-time jobs and legal rights maintaining have great significance to research. We assessed the college students’ performance on part-time job employment by analysis of 390 questionnaires, using SPSS software and other data analysis systems. Based on the research, we find that majority students have strong desire to take part-time jobs, but lack knowledge of relevant law and actions to protect their lawful rights and interests. In the end of the paper we come up with several suggestions to today’s college students on choosing part-time jobs and self-protection. KEY WORDS Part-time employment. College Students.

...Alexis Svatey AED/200 Laurie Ocampo June 11, 2014 Every school in the world should have certain Teacher responsibilities and student rights. Students may not think that the teachers deserve to have as many rights as they should or do, but it is a good thing in the long run. If the teachers let the students get away with things more, then their will most likely be less teaching and also bad things could start happening. For example, teachers should be able to be able to randomly search a student’s locker without their permission sometimes. I think that if there is a reasonable cause to why they are checking it, then do it. But if the student does not do anything for it to happen then why can a teacher not trust their students. Today, a lot of students are starting drugs at a younger age and also bring weapons to school. Therefore, teachers have certain responsibilities and rights and students also have certain responsibilities and rights too. Teachers have rights that are constitutional when becoming a teacher. Some of those rights would be substantive and procedural due process rights. This includes the teacher’s rights to receive notice of termination and right to a hearing. The freedom of expression and association provided by the First Amendment is another right as well. A teacher has academic freedom too. Academic freedom is a limited concept that is recognized by courts based on principles of the First Amendment. They also have protection against unreasonable searches...

...Courtney Kelly Ms. Hardy Eng.101-007 11 November 2014 Too many Students, too Little Parking Thesis: In order to create a less chaotic atmosphere, and reduce frustration amongst students, Liberty University administration should: build more parking garages, create better bus transportation, and not allow freshman students to bring cars on campus. Audience: Liberty University Administration. Purpose: For students, the chances of finding a parking spot on the Liberty University campus is very slim. If the Liberty University Administration wants to create a less chaotic atmosphere and less frustration for students they should consider: building another parking garage, creating better bus transportation and not allowing freshman students to bring cars on campus. Main Supporting Points: I. By building a parking garage there would be enough parking spaces for Liberty University students. A. Parking garages are big enough to guarantee parking spots for all students living on and off campus. B. If students knew that there was ample space for parking their cars, it would create less stress for them. 1. Wendling supports the claim that for students, when trying to find a parking space, it can be very emotional. 2. Students already have the huge responsibility of staying on top of class work and being on time for classes; they should not have to deal with the extra amount of stress when trying to find somewhere to park. II. Liberty University Administration should create...

...President Gerald Ford (Gargiulo, 2012). A basic principle of P.L. 94-142 was that every disabled child is permitted to special education according to the child’s needs and to promise that the rights of handicapped children are protected. There are six key components of the original 1975 IDEA. Six key components of the original 1975 IDEA are (Gargiulo, 2012): 1. Free appropriate public education (FAPE): IDEA guarantees that each child with a disability is qualified for special education and its services without any cost (Gargiulo, 2012). 2. Least restrictive environment (LRE): The main purpose for this component is to allow children with disabilities to be educated with their peers in the regular classroom to the extent possible (Gargiulo, 2012). 3. An individualize education program (IEP): It is a very important document developed by the IEP team with parents included. The IEP lays out the child’s academic achievement and functional performance such as, how the child will be included in the general education curriculum, establishes annual goals, plane what special education related services are needed, and what accommodations may be appropriate for the child (Gargiulo, 2012). 4. Procedural due process: It includes the rights of parents toward their children. Parents have the right to participate in all meetings, to examine all educational records, and to obtain an independent educational evaluation...

...At the following, there is an activity called “jigsaw readings” that is supported by Ph.D. Professor Oxford. This exercise consists of asking students to put in the right order the pieces of writing that are cut and separated. The teacher could give them the structure of a text as a clue; nevertheless, they have to think about how to put the given script in the right form. First of all you need to have the materials, they could be as simple as you imagine. For instance, books, newspapers, a recipe, advertisements, a magazine, essay, whatever piece of writing is acceptable but it has to be cut into pieces. That means that it has to be separated in different paragraphs. Even though teachers have to optimize their time since there are much content to teach but few hours to do it, do not worry about the time because it will depend on your materials and how long the text is. Be careful about the topic, because you do not want your students to get bored. Also, the difficulty...

...character. We consider them as our second parents who guide and lead us to the right path. And it truly proves that all educators are such a magnificent person. According to Benito (2000), the best hope for education lies with the teacher; his education is of primary importance. She explained that the quality of education the teacher has to transmit to his students largely depends on the quality of his education. The teacher’s best teaching device is herself (Adams, 1994). It follows then that in order to be an effective communication of knowledge; the teacher should have sufficient background of the subject matter that he/she teaches. In Teaching, Every educator must master his/her lesson plan. And everything that a teacher will teach to his student must be based on her own learning and experiences. Every teacher has their own way of providing knowledge to their students. They have their techniques in teaching for the student to better understand everything about their lesson. There are so many factors that affect students’ performance, and it includes the way of how the teachers communicate to their students (Cuevas, 1991). Longman (1996), emphasized that the instructor’s behaviour affects the student’s performance. She stressed that an instructor should try to be fair and impartial to all students. She added that the instructor’s behaviour or attitudes influence the attitudes of the students. For this, an instruction should possess both personal and professional qualities...

...Academic Success 1 Each year about 2.75 million students enroll in a 4 year degree program at a university. On average 33 percent of these students drop out within their first two years of school. Academic success is an ongoing effort and can be a struggle for many students that have outside factors affecting their ability to attend school. Following a few simple steps can help students manage their lifestyle and continue academic success. Goal setting, thinking critically, understanding the writing process, and decision making are all steps to continuing academic success and avoiding road blocks. The first step to continuing academic success is goal setting. Setting S.M.A.R.T goals or goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely can help make a huge endeavor seem attainable. Psychologist Camille Rodriquez states that “any goals that students set should be meaningful to them, not just words on paper.” Students that take the time to truly understand what they want to accomplish and set goals to get them there are 83 percent more likely to achieve that goal. According to a study at the University of Michigan 70 percent of college students drop out because of lack of time and being burned out. Setting small attainable goals can help keep a student focused on something small that may not be as daunting as four years of school. Setting goals can help with time management and avoid the dreaded burned out feeling...

...typically from 8–11 all ages but typically ages 9–12 The exam experience For many young children, a Cambridge ESOL YLE Test may be their first experience of doing an exam. It is possibly the first time they have had to travel to a different venue to sit a test. They might be emotional and distracted by unfamiliar surroundings. In some cases, it is even a big day out together with a trip to the city on the bus or train. If we give our students lots of practice, they will feel confident about what is expected of them in the test, and what they will have to do. In addition to preparing for task types, these four practice tests utilise language – both grammatical structures and vocabulary – that is in the ESOL Flyers syllabus. This book consolidates the language with Flyers-style usage. As young learners need constant recycling of the language studied, there are some additional activities outlined below that can consolidate language from the course and help prepare for the tests. Many courses present and practise language topic by topic. Here students will find the themes and language structures mixed together and find they need to jump from one to another in their...

...Introduction “Are students’ perceptions of academic integrity the same in the online environment as they are in the classroom?” (Swartz & Cole. Journal of Business and Education Leadership. Pg. 102) With so many more business students taking courses online, instructors and institutions have to trust that the students are being trustworthy. It also needs to be determined as to what constitutes cheating and what is acceptable. After studying online business course students – in regards to academic integrity – it seems that the use of technological advances needs to be evaluated in the online setting as well as the classroom as to whether it is acceptable for use or considered cheating. Summary What is academic integrity? “It is the professional code serving academia, including students, instructors, researchers and the institution itself.” (Swartz & Cole. Journal of Business and Education Leadership. Pg. 104) A study was done at Robert Morris University in Western Pennsylvania to determine what students felt was acceptable in both online learning and the actual classroom, how easy it was to cheat, and what could be done to discourage it more. “As a recent experience at Harvard demonstrates, maintaining academic integrity is a problem in the classroom as well as in the online setting.” (Swartz & Cole. Journal of Business and Education Leadership. Pg. 103) Students from several business courses with differing demographics were surveyed. The goal of the study was to identify...

...* Personal Responsibility * Day-to-day student performance and behavior are the best indicators that a student is having trouble. The challenge is knowing which students are struggling and then getting this information into the hands of those at the institution who can provide the right help. Some studend find different ways to learn easy for them.Some examples: * Human and Electronic. The system seamlessly combines feedback about a student's performance from people on campus (e.g., instructors) as well as automatic analysis of student activity as recorded in academic (LMS) and administrative (SIS) systems. * Academic and Personal. The system incorporates feedback about a student's academic performance as well as social/behaviorial indicators. * Find and Fix. The system not only identifies issues but also enables student success staff to address the issues to resolution. * Know What's Working and What Isn't How do you know if you have the right services to assist the diverse set of students enrolled in your institution? The best administrative decisions are made when your institution can analyze relevant information. Positions your institution to know what's working and where there is an opportunity for change. For example, are students who attend tutoring more than twice a term for a class more likely to pass the class? With the ability to assess student outcomes as a result of your student success programs, you are able to create actionable plans for continuous...

...listen to his or her own mind. The decision that is made in every special circumstance of our lives is responsible for our own success and failures, happiness, unhappiness, past, and future. Some people may believe because the economy is bad they can blame others for their actions. Honestly, becoming the owner of personal responsibility and accepting the choices made will make you a successful person. First of all I am extremely happy and excited about the programs and tutorials that University of Phoenix provides students to help them obtain excellence in class. The workshops available assist students who have been out of school for several years remember the basics of each subject. It keeps me motivated during the classes and definitely makes learning easy. Make sure you set your expectations and be clear on what it is you want to obtain. It is not easy staying on track because everyday life events get in the way and that can sway your decision to do the right thing, but do not let that discourage you, an education is a great benefit and will open up all forms of opportunities in your future. Personal responsibility normally refers to accepting responsibility for your own actions (Lazare, 2005) even thought pointing the finger at someone else it an easy way out, (for example, an alcoholic will...

...being considered a college student? The word diversity has a different meaning to every single individual but, it may be considered as a variety for the purpose of this paper; or the opposite of monotony. When students attend a university or college campus that encourages diversity it pushes them to go through these diverse experiences that may help change their lives in an array of different ways. Diverse experiences could consist of something as simple as joining a club you never would have thought you’d join or making a bolder choice like taking a trip to another country with the study abroad programs provided by higher education. It is important to keep in mind that although it takes will and a certain mindset to throw yourself at experiences like these, it may not be as hard as one may think. When students chose a higher education school they typically like to see that their future campus will be a diverse one, because the benefits that come with that type of environment are tremendous for college students. There is an article that was published in The Philadelphia Inquirer about the specific views of students and how they feel about the role diversity plays on their individual campus experience and the overall impact diversity had on them throughout college. The diversity generates a better classroom discussion, students say. Jillian Smith, a Dickinson College sophomore, said her courses on urban issues were better served by the presence of students who grew up in the inner...
