...6/24/2013 M1D2 Read Lake and von Baeyer's article, “Tips for Successful Students,” http://homepage.usask.ca/~clv022/success.htm. Also, review the characteristics of a successful student in the lecture. As you consider these, which is your strongest characteristic? Why? How will this characteristic help you to become a successful student in your program of study? I am looking forward to widening my education as a RN. I hope during this time I have at GCU that I will also have a better understanding of what I want to do later on in my nursing career. I either want to become a NP, but I am not sure what specialty I want to go into or I want to do nurse education. A fear that I have is writing papers, but after learning all the resources that GCU provides and the free 30 minute tutoring a day that is available I think I will be ok. I will use all of these resources that are offered to me and after a few papers I hope that I will be feeling more confident about my writing skills. During my ADN program a fear of mine was time management. It was suggested that we do not work during or program but I had two part time jobs my first year. I was fearful that I would not do well in school and my greatest fear was that I would not graduate. The first semester was hard getting use to the tests and balancing my time. I managed my time well between work and studying and a group of us started a study group every Sunday that helped out a lot. Scheduling out when I would do things and sticking...

...and von Baeyer's article, “Tips for Successful Students,” and Lecture One “Essentials of Baccalaureate Education,” I believe that I have a combination of different characteristics for being a successful student. My strongest characteristic is of a winning attitude. I believe that attitude is a strong characteristic because it involves self-determination and self-discipline as described in the article of "Tips for Successful Students", which is required in order to succeed when you set a goal. I believe that this characteristic will help me become a successful student in the RN to BSN program. I feel very strong about attitude being everything. Life is full of bunches of surprises and for me, how I show up is what makes all the difference in the world; and an attitude of self-discipline and determination. Also, I want to take note on the article of "Tips for Successful Students". On the second part of the article there is a statement as follows "Successful students can be distinguished from the average student by their attitudes and behavior. Below are some profiles that typically distinguish between an "A" student and a "C" student. Where do you fit in this scheme? I think this is a great question to pose. I believe that us humans are multifaceted, multi layered and to me I find it very difficult to place myself in a category of between a "A"student and a" C" student. I find that I have many of the principles of an "A" student and yet there are some situations that can pose...

...ANNE-MARIE, Ph.D. Stressors, Academic Performance, and Learned Resourcefulness in Baccalaureate Nursing Students. (2009) Directed by Dr. David F. Ayers. 135 pp. Despite extensive research establishing that stress affects problem-solving ability and coping, and leads to decreased learning, academic performance, and retention in nursing students, a paucity of research explores specific factors that could enhance these learning processes and outcomes. This explanatory correlational study examines the mediating effect of learned resourcefulness, the ability to regulate emotions and cognitions, on the relationships of stressors—both personal and academic—to academic performance in baccalaureate nursing students. Gadzella’s Student-life Stress Inventory (SSI) and Rosenbaum’s Self-Control Scale (SCS), a measure of learned resourcefulness, were administered to 53 junior level baccalaureate nursing students (92.5% female; 84.9% Caucasian; 9.4% African-American or Black) at a large urban university in North Carolina. High levels of both personal and academic stressors were revealed, but were not significant predictors of academic performance (p = .90). Age was a significant predictor of academic performance (p < .01) and both males and African-American/ Black participants had higher learned resourcefulness scores on the SCS than females and Caucasians. Total stress scores on the Student-life Stress Inventory showed that male participants perceived less stress (N = 4, M = 116.5) than females...

...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. Personal responsibility and college success is one main key element when furthering ones education.

...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.

...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...

...Critical Review of the Article “The changing body of students - A study of the motives, expectations and preparedness of postgraduate marketing students” The fact is that the body of postgraduate marketing students, who decide to study in UK, has become much more different during the last few years. It means that British marketing educators are facing big challenges as well as great opportunities. In order to help the educators keep up with the pace of the change, researches about the postgraduate marketing students have been conducted. According to Liu (2010), the article - “The changing body of students - A study of the motives, expectations and preparedness of postgraduate marketing students” aims at finding out the possible implications for the educators by evaluating the motives, expectations and preparedness of the postgraduate marketing students in UK, and through this, the marketing educators could design their programme better. This paper will try to analyse the article and give a critical review for it. Even facing with the challenges from counterparts such as American universities and Asian domestic universities (Liu, 2010), the trend is that numbers of the postgraduate students in UK including those, who major in marketing, have still increased dramatically. More students choose to take a postgraduate programme in UK, particularly on taught programme (Liu, 2010). Taylor (2002) states that comparing with undergraduates, numbers of postgraduates increase more...

...Raising a Successful College Student Carol Woods GEN/200 In order to be a successful college student personal responsibility must be learned at an early age. Children must learn personal responsibility, time management skills, and family values when they are young. If children develop a strong responsibility foundation they will develop into a successful college student. Personal responsibility is something that is taught to you throughout your childhood and developed throughout your adult life. A child is taught family values daily from the time they begin to walk. Parents begin to pass on their own values system and this is what a person’s responsibility foundation is built on. In order for a student to be successful in their college career they must already have been taught personal responsibility throughout their childhood. Children should be given household chores at a very young age, like picking up their toys, making their beds, and even feeding the family pet, at this age they are exposed to the family values at its core. Children begin to realize what responsibility is through these chores. Experts believe that any type of household responsibilities, are important for kids (Dunnewind, 2004). When they develop into adolescence they should be given more responsibility. School work becomes a priority, social groups draw their interest and now they begin to develop their time management skills. Learning how to navigate between class assignments...
