...all knowledge accumulated and assimilated. To list a few, there are strategies such as reciprocal teaching, reciprocal questioning, problem- or project-based learning, tutoring, or debating/discussion. In this paper, the strategy that will be focused upon is discussion. Different people and even experts will have differing definitions of what exactly is discussion. A very concise, yet highly intelligent definition has been given for the word and teaching strategy known as Discussion. According to Larson (1997), Wileen & White (1991) stated that it (discussion) is characterized as a structured conversation among participants who present, examine, compare and understand similar and diverse ideas about an issue. Larson (1997) also stated Gall (1985) reported that discussion is an effective way to promote higher-level thinking, develop student attitudes, and advance student capability for moral questioning. In short, discussion provides opportunities for student thoughtfulness about information received in class (Newman, 1988). This, I believe, is the crux of what effective teaching is, no matter what strategy is utilized by a teacher; ensuring that your pupils are properly and effectively absorbing and assimilating all information given to them. Ultimately, the goal of every teacher for their students should be to ensure that the students take what they learned, and apply it to not one, but multiple aspects of their education and even their...

...There are many problems that students face these days, but the biggest problem that students face is not getting enough sleep. It is very important to get enough sleep in order to perform at your best. Sleepiness will affect your overall life. If a student does not get enough sleep it is less likely that they do better in school. Students are also not as healthy if they do not get the minimum hours of sleep. In addition, sleepiness can make it harder to get along with friends and family. Teachers taking in consideration the need for sleep in students could help solve this problem. Sleepiness affects students in so many ways. Many students do not do as good in school as they can because they are exhausted and drowsy. Studies show that when a student is well rested they will score better on a test than someone who has not rested at all. That is why teachers always tell you to come well rested for a test. Teachers always say to sleep a lot before a test, but there are usually assignments that the student has to complete before they can go to sleep. Usually students stay up and do badly on the test because they are too sleepy to perform at their best. Teachers also put too much on tests. If the students want to get a good grade they have to study and that means staying up late too. They will have studied a lot, but they will not be well rested. Then, they will have to study for other tests. During the last week of the semester teachers always have tests on the same day. I think that...

...[pic]Part time students face special challenges. Students who attend university part time face challenges and benefits that are different than full-time students. According to Salme Harju Steinberg, president emeritus of Northeastern Illinois University, most people who enroll as part-time students rather than full time do so for financial reasons (see References 1). Most part-time students are working, many of them full time, at the same time that they are attending school. This can create severe time shortages, and the student requires highly developed time-management skills in order to handle school and work. 2. Balancing Work and Study o The balance can be tricky particularly for students who are working full time while they are enrolled in a university. Even when there is time to get to all required classes, additional time is needed to complete assignments and research. If either work or study are excessively stressful for the student, the quality of both may suffer. Due to these stresses, the drop-out rate among part-time students is higher than the rate of other students. For a student who already has a job and not enough time to study, the temptation to simply give up on graduating can be great. Families and Children o Many part-time students are older and already have careers, marriages and children to deal with. Children demand a lot of time and leaving them in day care for prolonged periods of time can cause feelings of guilt and anxiety in parents who...

...Ang Pag-Ibig ni Rizal Kuwento ni Alberto Segismundo Cruz Silahis, Abril 22, 1 -- Ang lalong matatamis na alaalang pinitas sa sanga ng walang-kamatayang pakikipagsapalaran ng ating bayani sa larangan ng pag-ibig, ang atin ngayong matutunghayan. -- Si Rizal, katulad din ng lahat ay may puso at sa pitak ng pusong iya’y minsan ding namugad ang pag-ibig. I. Kung may kamaliang maituturing sa panig ng mga nagsisulat ng talambuhay ni Dr. Jose Rizal ay walang iba kundi ang pagtutulad sa kanyang katauhan sa isang Bathala at hindi sa isang karaniwang taong may mga paang putik. Dahilan diya'y lumabo na tuloy ang mga dapat lumiwanag na kabanata sa kanyang buhay lalo na ang nauukol sa kanyang pag-ibig sa pangunang matuwid na ang pag-ibig na ito kailan ma'y hindi kinilala ng mga pangunahing manunulat ng kanyang talambuhay na isang damdamin ng kabataan o isang damdaming katugon ng karaniwang tibok ng puso. At, tanggapin man sakaling ang pag-ibig na iyan ng Bayani ng Kalamba'y nabuo sa isang dakilang damdaming makabayan, dili iba kundi ang pag-ibig sa kanyang Tinubuan, sukat na kanyang dahilan iyan upang huwag na mabatid ng mga huling salin ng lahi ang tunay na damdamin ng kanyang puso? "Fiat Lux." Pabayaan nating magkaroon ng liwanag. At ang liwanag na hinihintay ng abang maykatha nito'y walang iba kundi ang ilaw ng katotohanan. Sapagka't naniniwala't nananalig pa ang maykatha nito na sa pagkakabunyag ng malalabong kabanatang ito sa buhay ni Dr. Rizal...

B. According to USATODAY.com "The relationship game among college-age adults today is a muddle of seemingly contradictory trends.

...Problem: This paper will be discussing reasons why the Asian student population are not earning their bachelor’s degrees. First being, some Asian student may feel as though they are not ready for college. According to Bosworth, Convertino, and Hurwitz (2014; as cited by Nunez & Oliva, 2009; Reid & Moore, 2008), “students from under-represented groups may be academically unprepared for the rigors of a college curriculum.” Secondly, similar to the pervious reason, some Asian students may fear that if they get apply and get accepted into the college of their choice but later drop out of college, they may bring shame into the their family. Therefore, they may choose to not apply to any colleges at all. The third reason why some Asian students...

...Various causes contribute to the student dropout problem in colleges. One of the top reasons for leaving college is that it is hard to have to support oneself and go to school at the same time. Balancing work and school is a bigger barrier than finding money for tuition for many. In fact, more than a third of the dropouts said that even if they got a grant that covered their books and tuition, it would be hard to go back to school, given their work and family commitments (Lewin, 2009). For many, the financial burdens of college are too overwhelming. Often students will plan the finances for only the first year or the first semester, but they will not look ahead at how they will be paying for the rest. Some students are fortunate, however to have family that can help with their tuition, but that is not the case for all. Only one in five of the students who enroll in two-year institutions graduate within three years. And even at four-year colleges, only two in five complete their degrees within six years. (Lewin, 2009). With government funding dropping, colleges rely largely on higher student tuitions. According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2013–2014 school years was $30,094 at private colleges, $8,893 for state residents at public colleges, and $22,203 for out-of-state residents. (College Data, 2014). However, college administrators estimate that almost a third of all college students drop out of school sometime during their...

...Section 6 Professor Hill 28 November 2012 Four Major Problems Facing College Students Today and Possible Resolutions Going off to college is probably one of the best times in a teenager’s life. Right out high school teenagers are anxiously awaiting the arrival of college “move-in” day or the first day of school. They may look at it as a great opportunity to gain further knowledge about a particular study or better yet a way to finally escape the rules and regulations of their parents. College is supposed to be an educational, yet fun experience, a time for meeting new people, exploring opportunities, joining organizations, but most of all a time to be responsible. Little do teenagers know college comes with problems, some minor and some major. The most common major problems college students face are problems with partying, relationships, choosing a major, and money. Partying in itself really is not a problem (Gates). Parties are thrown so that the students can have a good time (Gates). However, today, many parties have the potential to cause problems (Gates). At numerous parties drinking and smoking is the life of the party (Gates). Drinking alcohol can lead to drunkenness, which can possibly end up as a deadly situation (Gates). Partying irresponsibly is one the causes of a college student’s poor academic performance (Academic Performance). Of course, along with partying comes drinking and smoking. Students tend to act out when away from their parents. Now that they...
