...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...

...Manshack 1 Linda Manshack Instructor L. McCary English 105 March 15, 2011 How to become an Effective Student Every year many students enter college with dreams and aspirations of becoming an effective student. However, not all students have a full understanding of the challenges that it takes to meet this goal. Many often ask themselves, “What does it take to become an effective student?” There are many answers to that question, but the problem is that most students do not understand how important time management and proper study skills are to a college career. With social activities, friends, and family as outside influences on a schedule, students are unable to properly utilize their time and often find themselves overwhelmed by the workload. Others have not developed the study skills that they need in order to master the classes. Practicing daily habits of success is an important building block for any student; therefore, to be an effective student one must have time management and proper study skills. Mastering the art of time management is easier said than done. Every student is handed a syllabus in class, it is important to read this since it lists the dates for when the quizzes, exams, and homework assignments are due. Taking an organizer and writing down all important dates will help in planning ahead and planning your workload. If there are many assignments that are clustered up then prioritize them and set aside...

Firstly the rock size and mass was measured to determine the density and bulk volume using an electronic ruler and mass balance. Then using the helium porosimeter the grain volume of each core plug sample was measured. Each of these measurements were repeated three times and then averaged for precision sake. The porosity was then calculated by subtracting the grain volume from the bulk volume, to determine the pore volume, and then dividing by the bulk volume. The porosity results for all the samples were reasonable except for sample 1 and 6 for which the porosity is calculated to be in negative % and make no logic. These possible reasons for these inaccurate results are that the group made high errors in reading the measurements or did the experiment in a wrong method. 2-Introduction For the storage of oil and gas in any reservoir rock presence of porosity is vital. However, the degree of porosity in any rock depends upon...

...variety of interpersonal relationships and personalities within the classroom and many more aspects can play a critical role. To quote Evertson and Weinstein in their Handbook of Classroom Management (2006:5), classroom management is not merely a "bag of tricks" that is passed on from one teacher to another--it is "a multifaceted endeavor that is far more complex than establishing rules, rewards, and penalties to control students' behavior." Discipline: Student Conduct and Classroom Management Discipline problems do arise in the college classroom. What would you consider a discipline problem? Why do they arise? How would you address them? Gerald Amada in his Coping With Misconduct in the College Classroom (1999) identifies common misconduct issues.

Time management is a skill that directly impacts your academic performance. Effective time management strategies make studying and schoolwork less overwhelming and more enjoyable.

Rosie includes statistics in this piece of writing which ultimately establishes the scope of the problem. With these statistics it is apparent that a college student will most likely experience a severe psychological problem at least once. Rosie explains how there are many college students who are experiencing these severe psychological problems, but how they fail to seek help when needed. It is apparent that the students who undergo these challenges do not ask for help when they need it because mental illness is perceived as a shameful or embarrassing thing. Meaning...

...Introduction: Student learning may determine by their academic performances that is also focuses on their personality behaviour. According to their grades we can determine the academic performance of a student. It says that if the student earns high grades it means that they learn a lot, while low grades indicates lesser learning. Academic performance focuses and concentrates on you having the right mind-set for raising your academic performance so you can learn more effectively. It is how students deal with their studies and how they cope with or accomplish different tasks given to them by their teachers. While personal variables is the things to be considered in your personality that may have an effect in your academic performance in school. In this research, it tackles the relationship of academic performance of the student from the College of Education, particularly BBTE 3rd year students to their personal variables. There are many factors that academic performance and personal variable are related to each other like; personal variable (cognitive and non-cognitive), demographic variable, and institutional variable.

...His top ten requirements for good teaching was originally published in The Teaching Professor, Vol. 12, # 6, 1998. 1. GOOD TEACHING is as much about passion as it is about reason. It’s about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. It’s about caring for your craft, having a passion for it, and conveying that passion to everyone, most importantly to your students. 2. GOOD TEACHING is about substance and training students as consumers of knowledge. It’s about doing your best to keep on top of your field, reading sources, inside and outside of your areas of expertise, and being at the leading edge as often as possible. But knowledge is not confined to scholarly journals. Good teaching is also about bridging the gap between theory and practice. It’s about leaving the ivory tower and immersing oneself in the field, talking to, consulting with, and assisting practitioners, and liaising with their communities. 3. GOOD TEACHING is about listening, questioning, being responsive, and remembering that each student and class is different. It’s about eliciting responses and developing the oral communication skills of the quiet students. It’s about pushing students to excel; at the same time, it’s about being human, respecting others, and being professional at all times. 4. GOOD TEACHING is about not always having a fixed agenda and being rigid, but being flexible, fluid, experimenting...
