...successful students have good study habit. However, students face many changes as their learning become bolder and deeper, and by this students should be flexible in order to adjust easily their study habit. An example situation of this is, entering college after high school. High school is very different from college. Being in college needs more focus, consumes lots of your time and energy. Unlike, in high school, though it also needs effort but it is less stressful and of course its subjects are not as hard as your subjects in college. This is the reason why the effects of study habit to the academic performance are the focus of this study. The group also chose this study to know how effective the study habit of accountancy students, specifically the BHB students, S.Y. 2010-2011, in maintaining good grades. Why did the group choose BHB accoutancy students? One of the reasons is because of the high standard the grading system they have. In UE-Manila, accountancy students must maintain a grade stated in the policy, because the said students have a retention policy. Retention policy is a policy concerning to the grade of the students, particularly the accountancy students. They must not get a grade lower than the great in the retention policy given to their year level. In the case of BHB accountancy students, since they are in the first year level they must maintian a grade of 2.5 in their major subject and Grade Weighted Average (GWA). Moreover, they have eight (8) subjects carrying...

...later on in the day, and it’s harder to focus and concentrate, but you can’t always do that because there are so many other factors that play into that. Sometimes, the class isn’t even offered in the morning or your schedule doesn’t allow for it. You know good and well that you'll spend many nights hopped up on energy drinks and cramming for exams. Did this not occur to you when you registered for an 8 a.m. class on a Monday? Is that really what you want your life to be about? Your professor is annoyed she has to be there at that time, your TA is not about that early bird life, and your classmates are either snoring through the lecture or having shaking fits due to caffeine withdrawals. According to Lorraine Savage the effect of sleep deprivation on college students is a well-known problem. As we face the new experiences of dorm life, new sleep patterns, sharing dorm rooms, freedom away from parents to party, late night study habits, new clubs and activities. All this can lead to sleep deprivation and disruptive effects on our bodies and school performance. A good night’s sleep varies with each person, but for adolescents and young adults, it is generally considered to be eight or more hours per 24 hours. Less than eight hours and the body’s efficiency start to decline. We know little about the health of this age range even though the consequences substance...

SANTIAGO In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Subject in Methods of Research Submitted by: Ana S. Transifiguracion Ria Marie M. Reyes Major in Technology and Livelihood Education Chapter I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Nutrition is the result of the processes whereby the body takes in and uses food for growth, development and maintenance of health. Nutrition can also affect the body’s ability to resist disease, the length of one’s life and the state of one’s physical and mental well-being. Promoting good nutrition helps children grow, promotes human development and advances economic growth and eradication of poverty. Studies have shown that proper nutrition has a direct effect on student performance and behavior in school In many studies, cases of socioeconomic status seem to be an indicator of food insufficiency, which is simply the lack of available food to a household. Food insufficiency has been shown to directly affect children’s cognitive development. (Nutrition And Its Effects On Academic Performance How Can Our Schools Improve? By Amy Ross ) Poor nutrition on the other hand, is a chronic problem linked to poverty, poor nutrition understanding and practices, and deficient sanitation and food security. Lack of proper nutrition contributes to worse class...

...1. Based on the Value Paradigm as seen in fig.1 “Understanding Human Values” you are tasked to make some listing on how the following value indicators below truly make a difference in the values of people. Language – the way they speak Music, dance art and images of feelings – it gives sense of identity to every individual, creating in person uniqueness and a way of identifying oneself within a certain group. Food and the way they eat – distinguish an individual from the rest through the way that he/she chooses foods to eat. Foods that he/she chooses and eat define him or her through physical aspect and his/he belief in manipulation of foods. Recreation – activity or activities that allow an individual to spend his free time in a more constructive manner. This gives an individual immediate and inherent satisfaction. Dress – signifies somewhat an status symbol for a person because if he dresses in a way that is different from the others he becomes known to them. Beliefs – convictions of people that leads him towards the achievement of his goals and thus makes him successful. Likes – sense of having an interest towards certain people or things which makes an individual keener on his works or projects. 2. Figure 2 provides an understanding of how values are communicated, and who the Values Communicators are. Discussion on “Why do you think our parents are considered number one communicators of values?” Parents are considered number one communicator of values...

... because of habit; the need for security; economic factors; fear of the unknown and selective information processing. Individuals rely on habits to cope with life problems. When threatened with change it becomes a source of conflict. People who need a feeling of security feel less safe when change occurs. When job obligations or habits are changed people fear they cannot perform the new duties as well. This particularly worries them if their pay rate is connected to the amount they produce. People are naturally fearful of things they have not experienced. Individuals hear what they want to hear and disregard information that challenges the niche they have created for themselves. Organizational sources resist change because of structural inertia; their limited focus of change; group inertia; threat to expertise and the threat to established power relationships. Organizations have built in methods such as selection strategies and official directives to keep the organization steady during change. Changes in subsystems are prevented by the larger system. The group may prevent changes from occurring even if some members want it. The proficiency of specific groups may be threatened by change. Power relationships can be threatened when the decision expert is restructured. One of the main examples I can describe was the need for our Respiratory Care Department to change the structure of shifts. The change would have been from an eight hour to twelve...

...adolescent years (Meece, 2003). Thus, ignoring the developmental needs of students in school might result in the students developing a wrong notion of school until adulthood. Students’ eagerness and motivation to go to high school may decline as they go through their first year in high school if they may still lack the interaction they need to become familiar with and to be exposed to the high school’s norms and environment (Eccles & Midgley, 1989) (Barone, Aguirre-Deandreis, & Trickett, 1991). First year students tend to become lost in the “new world” they are in (Mizelle, 1995; Phelan, Yu, & Davidson, 1994) as they are expected to be more independent in high school, with less spoon-feeding of information and more application of good study habits. The new first year students are expected to be more mature as they deal with new classroom subjects, adopt a better value system, and be more proactive in all classroom activities, both extra- and co-curricular. Dealing with new and sometimes unfamiliar lessons, numerous projects and deadlines, adjusting in a new environment and taking on a different and new culture contribute to low marks in some of their subjects (Baronne, Aguirre-Deandreis, & Trickett, 1991). If not remedied, the students would lose their motivation to...

...Addressing the issue of Childhood Obesity The issue of childhood obesity in the United States is growing at an alarming rate. Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past thirty years. Statistics show that childhood obesity has increased from 6.5% in 1980 to 19.6% in 2008 in children ages six to eleven as stated on the CDC web site (Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion). Currently in the United States one of three children and teens are obese or overweight as stated in the American Heart Association web site. Definition of Obesity is, Obesity is the result of caloric imbalance (too few calories expended for the amount of calories consumed). In order to standardize calculations of obesity the Institute of Medicine asked the federal government in 2005 to develop guide lines for using BMI (body mass index) in schools. The BMI is the ratio of weight to height squared. BMI is used to access weight status because it is can easily be measure and it also correlates with the amount of body fat. Guidance is provided on specific safeguards that need to be addressed before schools decide to collect BMI information, stated on the CDC web site. This information is needed for schools to compare results with other schools for specific age groups. Age and sex specific charts are used to calculate BMI in children and teens using the child’s height and weight then matching there BMI to their age and sex specific chart. If a child is in the ninety-five...

Pre-planning the night before, setting priorities before the start of the day, and completing the most important tasks first. II. Body a. First, a minute of planning the night before can save 10 minutes in execution. Sit down before bed and write down everything you need to do the following day on a post-it or piece of paper. Writing down a list clarifies your thinking goals. i. According to Charles Duhigg in a Harvard Business interview, he says that 40-45% of we what we do is habit. ii. You want to be able to work from a list to get things done and not wing the day as usual. b. Second, set priorities on your list before you start the day working from the 80/20 rule. If you have 10 things on your list make two of them the most important than the other eight. i. Ask yourself, “if I there are two things I need to get done before the end of the day, what would it be?” and those are your two to prioritize for your day. ii. According to Atanu Dey’s article on Economics, Policy and Government, prioritizing is important because we have limited resources, all of which have alternative uses. c. Finally, begin and focus on it and only it until complete the most important task first. All success in general comes from project completion and establishing good habits to do so will help you finish what you...

...that gets through any hardship we may face in our lives. It helps us overcome failures and setbacks. It makes or breaks the habits in failure and success, and it applies to all of us. It is a need we all have in our lives. It is the need for courage. “That's why courage is tricky. I mean any fool can have courage. But honor, that's the real reason you either do something or you don't. It's who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die trying for something important, then you have both honor and courage, and that's pretty good. I think that's what the writer was saying. That you should hope for courage and try for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you want to do have some too.(Atom 1)” This clearly sums up how you define courage, in my opinion. With courage comes honor. When you face your obstacles knowing that they’re going to be hard or tricky, or break a habit that is courage. Although, when you do them the right way and come out on top. That is truly an honor.

...MGT320 Leadership Book Paper Book Review of The Way of the SEAL Think like an Elite Warrior to Lead and Succeed By Mark Divine With Allyson Edelhertz Machate In this book, Retired Navy Commander, Mark Divine, presents leadership from a military standpoint. He breaks down his training from the Navy Seal training school into 8 basic principles. Each principle is supported with exercises, meditations, and focusing techniques that will prepare your mind for the challenges in any situation. His personal influences of the martial arts are littered throughout the text. These eight principles are part of one’s “integral training” which encompasses the five human capacities, or to use the author’s term, “five mountains”. These five capacities are interwoven throughout the exercises needed to adapt the author’s eight principles. They are: 1. Physical 2. Mental 3. Emotional 4. Intuitional 5. Spiritual Principle One His first principle is to “Establish Your Set Point”. This is the “inner sense” of every person – i.e. what makes us different. To do this we must exercise the emotional and mental capacities we all have by accessing four key elements. First, “Make a Stand” by defining our own beliefs by answering the question “what do we stand for?”. Second, we must “Find Your Purpose”. This will answer “why we are here”. The third element is “What’s Your “Why”? Why we do things have either an intrinsic or extrinsic motivation...

...their managers that a government inspector stated he would be willing to approve a violation of a new law, based on new local health codes, by one of Sandwich Blitz locations, in exchange for catering services to his department’s holiday party. In this particular situation, the first demonstration of integrity has already been displayed by the location’s manager with the mere fact of him reporting the incident to Dalman and Lei. But the integrity test does not end there, in fact, that is just the beginning. In Sherman’s article Rethinking Integrity, one of the eight steps towards integrity is stated as “Doing the right thing: With the awareness of what’s right comes the obligation of right action. That means embodying our convictions—and accepting the consequences”. Based on Sherman’s Eight Steps towards Integrity, on his article Rethinking Integrity Leader to Leader, the manager at this location demonstrated one of the eight steps by doing the right thing. On reporting the issue instead of accepting the offer to bribe the inspector he is fulfilling his obligation of right action. J.C. Watts said “Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught”. This manager could have gone along with the bribery and probably save himself a lot of hassles, procedures, and paper work that are now going to come out from correcting the issue at hand.

...academically than their counterparts, who are neither disciplined nor focused on their studies. There are several bad habits which may hinder children from performing at their optimal level. They include: Procrastination Putting off homework and projects for the last minute may seem to be a good idea for some children, but it does adversely affect the outcome of their academic performance. Waiting until the last minute to do assignments increases the possibility of making more errors and submitting a mediocre paper. Excellent papers and projects go through several drafts and editing; rarely are they completed in one draft. Encourage your children to develop a schedule for studying and working on assignments, and help them to stick to it. This not only build time-management skills, but it also helps them to spend more time on their schoolwork, which often results in better grades. Too much television and social networking sites Children who watch too much television or spend too much time on sites such as Facebook, perform poorly, academically, compared to children who spend less than two hours engaged in these activities. The more television and social networking sites are viewed, the less time is focused on studying and completing homework. Limit the number of hours your children spend in these activities. Bad sleeping habits Students sometimes have the habit of staying up late working on assignments, watching television, or simply hanging out, which often causes them...

...Personal Responsibility & College Success Gordon Wilson University of Phoenix GEN 200 William Feltt March 4th, 2013 Personal Responsibility “There’s not a chance we’ll reach our full potential until we stop blaming each other and start practicing personal accountability.” Miller, J. G. (2004). Personal responsibility is the idea of people living responsible for their own actions and the choices they make. When people make mistakes we tend to point fingers or blame someone else for our mishaps. However, it is our responsibility to take responsibility for the consequences of our actions. Personal responsibility is the key to college success. When every student focuses <subject-verb agreement|| on doing his or her assignments, handing in homework on time, showing up to class on time, and studying for examinations in advance they stand a better chance of being successful in college. Personal responsibility is the understanding that one is responsible for themselves through words, thoughts, deeds and, actions. Personal responsibility is being in control of your life. Developing personal responsibility can be beneficial. By developing personal responsibility one can take charge of their life and define their own purpose. It is very important that everyone practice personal responsibility in their...

To conclude part A of my assignment, I will provide a carefully designed program for strengthening the behavior, making sure to include all relevant conditioning principles incorporated within my plan; which will include the use of positive and negative re-enforcers, and shaping. In part B, I will design a series of test items that would indicate the difference intelligences according to Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences. I will provide one original of how you would test each of the eight differences. Howard Gardner developed a theory of multiple intelligences in (1983, 2004) according to Gardner there are eight different types of intelligence. Each of the eight intelligence is distinct from the others, which means that we may be very talented in some of these areas and completely untalented in others.
