...My first week at North Dakota State University has been interesting to say the least. Life living here is much different than what I am accustomed to back home. The amount of freedom I have here is almost incomprehensible, I am the one who sets my schedule. So far I have done well in regards to my adjustment to living on campus. I have already established a morning routine and discovered the routes I will take to my class. The biggest challenge I have faced thus far is adjusting to both the homework load and the classwork assignment system used in college. During my last semester of highschool half of my classes were Advanced Placement courses, whose test I took a month or two before the end of the school year, which resulted in only...

...Debate topic: HOMEWORK IS A WASTE OF TIME. Introduction: We all hate homework, but is it really important that we do it? Is doing homework good for us or is it simply a waste of time? This debate sets out the arguments on both sides .Homework is an assignment that students are given to do at home. It might be a continuation of classwork or a new piece of work. It may also be preparation for the next class. The amount of homework school students get varies a lot not only from country to country, or from school to school, but often from day to day. For most the amount of time spent on homework gets longer as we go through our school lives. At the start of primary school we get almost no homework but it is often several hours a day by the time we finish secondary school. The most important thing in this debate is not so much how much time is spent on homework but whether that time is wasted. If it is time well spent then having a lot of homework to do may not be a bad thing. The debate should therefore consider what else school children would do with that time. Another angle would be to look at whether school could replace homework with something that makes better use of time. For example in Britain the education secretary (the member of the government who controls education across the whole country) wants schools to scrap homework and instead have longer days in school. The affirmative: Homework teaches us to learn on our own The main aim of education is to prepare us for the...

...Homework is a student worst nightmare but, on the other hand it can help move them into a successful future. Students that are assigned homework have a higher GPA and an increased understanding of material and it helps them build great study habits. When students are having problems with their classwork, teachers can assign them homework to help them study. The homework can also help the students get additional points to help bring their grades up. Studying for 30 minutes to an hour can help build an understanding of homework, classwork and prepare you better for a test. It also serves an alternative to watching television and/or playing video games. By doing homework it help them raise their GPA by providing them with the skills that are required to get in college. Students learn that by taking the extra time to study it puts them in the habit of doing research for reports and current events which keeps them informed about things that are happening around the world. Depending on the type of job the student is interested in obtaining after getting a college degree, doing homework can prepare them for the work they may have to do for their job. Some jobs may require that work is done at home after hours, so this is a good habit that can give them the skills to be able to work on their own when they are required to. Homework helps with getting a better understanding on school work and helps form study skills that will be needed in college as well. Homework can help...

...Personal Responsibilities Essay xxxx xxxxxxx Gen/200 11/13/11 Heather Karberg Personal Responsibilities Essay When students think about college they think about attending class, making friends, doing homework, studying, and obtaining good grades, but for most this is not always the case, at times personal responsibilities hinder college success. Personal responsibilities like work, family life and time for yourself can leave you with little to no time to complete school work. There are no shortcuts in academic success, college success means fulfilling academic requirements (ACT, 2007, p.3). The relationship between personal responsibility and college success is a conflicting relationship. Personal responsibility can hinder college success if not planned accordingly. The first personal responsibility that hinders college success is work life. Working a full time job, while going to school is normal in today’s society. Many college students have bills to pay or families to raise, and to pay for these necessities college students need a job. Working a job while in school may be difficult to handle. Another detractor in work life is stress. Stress at the workplace for most is imminent. With very heavy workloads and performing at an excellent manner, Workplace stress can leave you with a headache every day and make it hard to focus on schoolwork. Willging, P. A., & Johnson, S. D. (2009) says “Too hard to work full-time and be a student in an online course...

...A compound word is made when two words are joined to form a new word. Definition In English, words, particularly adjectives and nouns, are combined into compound structures in a variety of ways. And once they are formed, they sometimes metamorphose over time. A common pattern is that two words — fire fly, say — will be joined by a hyphen for a time — fire-fly — and then be joined into one word — firefly. In this respect, a language like German, in which words are happily and immediately linked one to the other, might seem to have an advantage. There is only one sure way to know how to spell compounds in English: use an authoritative dictionary. There are three forms of compound words: the closed form, in which the words are melded together, such as firefly, secondhand, softball, childlike, crosstown, redhead, keyboard, makeup, notebook; the hyphenated form, such as daughter-in-law, master-at-arms, over-the-counter, six-pack, six-year-old, mass-produced; and the open form, such as post office, real estate, middle class, full moon, half sister, attorney general. How a word modified by an adjective — "a little school," "the yellow butter" — is different from a compound word — " a high school," "thepeanut butter" — is a nice and philosophical question. It clearly has something to do with the degree to which the preceding word changes the essential character of the noun, the degree to which the modifier and the noun are inseparable. If you were diagramming a sentence with a...

...Time is everything. If you do not give yourself time to complete everything, in the end you will feel suffocated and will panic when the due date comes. I had this problem when trying to figure out what my product would be. I had the option to go to shelters and take pictures of their dogs to then make brochures for people that were going to adopt to look at, or I could make dog training collars to give to shelters and when a dog was adopted they adopters would receive a free training collar. I finally decided to do the second option, but I decided when the due date for the 15 hours was 19 days away. Stress began to build, and with other classes to worry about I was in overdrive, from trying to find time to do 15 hours to completing other classwork and balancing a job. I was lucky to have only three classes a day, you on the other hand might not be so lucky....

...themselves. If they work a full time job they can come home and do their schoolwork or even on their breaks and lunch time. If they have a family they can do their schoolwork around their schedule for their children if they really want their degrees. Some people will not put the effort forth because it takes away from their “me” time. In a traditional setting they have to be in their class at a certain time and a certain day of the week. It does not matter if work is scheduled for that time or not. They have to be present in the class to get credit for the class. After class they still will have homework to have done before the next class meets. There still is no “me” time when you do the traditional classes. They also have large amounts of classwork so they cannot even start homework in class even if they wanted to. Online classes you work at your own pace and if they finish the weeks class them can go on to the next week’s class assignments. If they have a paper due as a final they can work on it a little each week so it is not such a big project at the end of the class. If someone has to miss a traditional class they can ask a classmate for the...

...Is that my Responsibility? Mickey Shorts GEN 200 June 17, 2013 Frank Marino Is that my Responsibility? Ron Haskins writing for the bookings institute defines personal responsibility as the willingness to both accept the importance of standards that society establishes for individual behavior and to make strenuous personal efforts to live by those standards. “We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” Ronald Reagan Personal responsibility is my personal choice to do what I know to be right and conduct myself in accordance with my personal set of moral values. These values are formed from the perimeters society has established and what I have learned throughout my life. The process of learning to be accountable for our action is a lifelong process. Every day we take on new responsibilities and learning how to take responsibility continues throughout our lives. I have learned many ways to accept and hide from responsibilities. It has taken me a lifetime to learn what I have learned so far. This learning process did not end when I finished high school, when I finished basic training in the Army, when I retired from the Army, and it is not over now. It is a...
