...Factors why BSBA Management Accounting/BS Accountancy shift to Financial Management Course? If you have decided to change course on the basis that '"you aren't doing well academically"' in your current course you probably ought to reconsider your decision, be honest with yourself, how much of the problem will be solved by changing course, how much of the problem is due to your mismanagement of your studies. If you are genuinely having problems with the course don't jump straight into a course switch, speak to your tutor about your problems and there may be a means to sort them out without such drastic (and potentially not very effective) measures. It is also possible that if your achievement level is low that you may not be allowed onto the new course. If you have decided to change because '"you don’t enjoy your current course"' then you should be absolutely certain that you will enjoy the course you are moving to. You should also be aware that changing course has significant negative consequences, you have to be certain that the change is worth it. If you have decided to change course because you feel that it would be better for career reasons you need to do your research, is it actually a better career move? Remember that changing course normally (except between certain very similar courses or during the first couple of weeks of the course) means that you will be at university for more time, amounting more debt and putting off getting your dream job. Even if a different course...

...is one of the major factors that affects the student to graduate as soon as possible. It is a process that students do to change their chosen course because of their incompatibility to obtain the standards required in their course. And as defined by The Office of the Registrar of De La Salle University, “shifting is a term that refers to a transfer from one program to another of the same level. A level may refer to baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, or diploma/certificate (non-degree)”. The researchers choose this topic because college students nowadays have gone through a lot of conflicts that possibly lead them in deciding whether they shift into another courses or not. Shifting of courses is also one of the issues that disrupts the development and integration of the country even in the Philippines. In the University of Mindanao – College of Engineering Education, the researchers wanted to know what is the most frequent reason that gives the student a conclusion about shifting courses. In shifting courses there are four possible reasons why a college student demands to shift their course. The first possible reason in shifting course is the problem with the student’s course itself, if the course does not meet the demands of a student, it may cause failure or boredom to the student that makes them change course. Second reason is the problem with the place or university, if the place causes uncomfortable aura to the students, then it may cause unhappiness or unsatisfactory...

...Graduating high school students often have a short period of time to think about what career path they would like to have in the future. Some are pressured to follow the footsteps of their parents, some are applying for the course because it sounds easy while some are applying for the course because of the big profit that the future job can offer. According to Vince Silva (2014) an engineering student, one of the major factors that have been affecting college students to graduate earlier is the shifting of courses of the college student, especially after the first to second year of experience of the student's studies. Shifting of course is a way of college students to change their chosen program to another that may have been chosen by many. In this generation many college students shift courses because of personal, social, and educational conflicts. Shifting courses became a delay for the progressing development of the country even in the Philippines. It is commonly experienced these days that a good number of freshmen students shift from one course to another every semester. It has always been a burden on the part of the student's immediate superior who approved the shifting of courses. In fact, the incidence of indecision in occupational choice among college students has become a burden to some faculty members in college level, since shifting is a product of irrational decision which is notably interferes with the educational growth of the students. According to the University...

...Some had dropped out and some are still in college shifting courses just like me. So I decided to make a survey research regarding students in colleges on how passionate they are in the course they took up. I have delimited my research to students of the same course that I am taking to target a specific population and validity. Despite the problem of having many legal management students shifting courses, they take easy courses to graduate on time. As a current student and had been enrolled in legal management course in FEU, questions had bewildered myself if I had took the right path and made a right decision to take this course hence where will this lead me after I graduated from the course? There were instances in my college years that I opted or imagined to shift course for that matter because of the fear of the unknown. I am an irregular 3rd year student and I had witness some of my friends or almost of my friends if I may say had graduated from the courses they took and for my fellow legal management batch mates who if not shifted had graduated from this course but didn’t landed on a good job. The purpose of my research is to know the different reasons or the concrete intention or motive why some or a lot of students decided to shift course specifically legal management students. I will also probe if there is a trend of shifters or students from Leg Ma (Legal Management) jumping to another course and what persuade them to do it. This research will use survey questionnaires...

...ENGINEERING STUDENTS WHO SHIFT COURSES AFTER 1-2 YEARS by vince silva on 29 September 2014 INTRODUCTION One of the major factors that have been affecting college students to graduate earlier is the shifting of courses of the college student, especially after the first to second year of experience of the student’s studies. Shifting of course is a way of college students to change their chosen program to another that may have been caused by many incompatibility of the student to compete in that specific chosen program. According to the Office of the University Registrar of DLSU “shifting refers to a transfer from one program to another of the same level. A level may refer to baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, or diploma/certificate”. In some college student’s perspective about shifting courses, is that shifting courses was caused by rejection of the problems of the student in that specific program In shifting courses there are four possible reasons why a college student demands to shift their course. The first possible reason in shifting course is the problem with the student’s course itself, if the course does not meet the demands of a student, it may cause failure or boredom to the student that makes them change course. Second reason is the problem with the place or university, if the place causes uncomfortable aura to the students, then it may cause unhappiness or unsatisfactory to their needs. Third reason is the financial problem, if the fund of the student to study in...

...sociology in education and social class inequality. The article “Degree by Default” gets into the reason(s) behind why graduates from high school go to college. She Followed 34 first-year students from diverse backgrounds, male and female students, and even first generation students to children that had parents that went to college. With all the diverse students chosen, she wanted to find out why students went to college, consequences of going to college when you aren’t really sure you want to go, and the “college for all” effect on society. The students she chose for her research had varying reasons for going to college. Some of the reasons for going include; because it was the next logical step in their lives, a degree is necessity to have a secure middle-class lifestyle, to have the college “experience” for personal growth, to figure out who they were, their parents put pressure on them, and/or just going through the motions, and one actually wanted to go to learn more. All the diverse backgrounds came as many different reasons why they went to college in the first place, but for the most part, she discovered that the main reasons that these college freshmen went was because they felt like they had to because it was what is expected of them of societies social norms. The article introduces its readers to the students and the different answers as to why they enrolled into college. Most commonly the reasons they gave is that they went to college so they can have...

NEW TO THIS EDITION • New headline on campus drinking • New headline on demand shifts for natural gas • One new question for discussion • One new problem LECTURE LAUNCHERS Where should you start? Supply and Demand analysis is the foundation of much of the analysis the student will perform during the semester. Therefore, it is important that students get a good start with this material. 1. Begin your discussion by identifying market participants are, that is the suppliers and the demanders. Students sometimes confuse the colloquial use of the term “market” as in a supermarket with its use by economics. 2. Follow this discussion with the concept factor and product markets. Showing the students how the market participants interact in the circular flow helps illustrate the interaction of...

Maligalig Technological Institute of the Philippines Cubao, Quezon City In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the English-002 Course MICHAEL DAVE D. LASCONIA JOHN PAULO DELA CRUZ NINO AERON JADORMEO CARL JOHN L. MAGNO YATREN V. ALAYON March, 2015 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The School is an important agent for the education of youth. Although they offer a variety of purpose, the main role of school is to prepare students for their future education or career. This preparation takes place by the time that the students choose what they want to pursue and acquire the knowledge offered in these programs. Hence, students can only make the most out of learning when they are competent enough to comply with the necessary requirements that they must accomplish to pass in every courses, which will be useful for their future education or career. In respect, students’ choice of program is an important part of their education and future perspective. For some, when you are an engineering student, it means that you are intelligent and good in solving problems, but it is not easy to be one. You need to maintain a passing grade of at least 3.00 or higher in the major courses and also including the minor subjects. Some students find it difficult to maintain their grades. For some reasons they...

...Why shares of NEC Electronics, a publicly listed subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate NEC traded at a discount to their fundamental value? Maybe Perry Capital, the U.S. hedge fund, the restructuring of the subsidiary and to generate significant profits? This event gives students the opportunity to analyze the decision to invest in Perry NEC Electronics. However, he asked the reasons that the NEC can take actions that destroy value and shift the value of minority shareholders Nese. Events covered allow discussion of how the concentration of ownership hinders restructuring alternatives like hedge fund investors can resist the controlling shareholders, and as underestimating the cost of institutions can lead to ownership structure, which allows the expropriation of minority shareholders. Why do shares in NEC Electronics, a publicly listed subsidiary of Japan conglomerate NEC trade at a discount to their fundamental value? Can Perry Capital, a U.S. hedge fund, restructure this subsidiary and generate significant returns? This case provides students with an opportunity to analyze Perry's decision to invest in NEC Electronics. In doing so, it asks for the reasons that NEC might take actions that destroy value and shift value away from NECE's minority shareholders. The events covered allow for a discussion of how ownership concentration constrains restructuring alternatives, how hedge fund investors might confront controlling shareholders, and how the mis-pricing of agency costs can...

...subject to one of the most primitive questions ever asked in the history of civilization: “Why?” However, generally speaking when a student asks the question “Why?” it is not for a genuine thirst for knowledge or explanation. It is not like a child who wants to know why the sky is blue, or why dogs can’t talk. A students real interpretation of the question why is more like: “Why is this important?”, or “Why do we have to learn this?”, or the big one (according to Algebra teachers), “Will I ever use this again in the real world?” A computer architecture professor is different from other professor (besides obviously being smarter ;) ), when having to answer this question. Unlike Algebra, which is pretty well established and unlikely to change operations in the next 10 years, Computer Architecture is a rapidly evolving industry and has the very good possibility to look completely different in the year 2022. So a computer architecture professor is faced with a difficult answer to the question. One answer could be “Yes you have to learn it, because it appears on the final and I will fail you if you don’t.”, or “Yes you have to learn it but it is strictly theoretical because nobody in the industry really does it this way anymore.” Each response respectively answers the question, but neither invokes a sense of real learning. The “because I said so” response serves to motivate the student strictly based on grades and crossing off another required course, but leads to a...

...For competency building, CFS hired students who were freshman and sophomores looking for extra spending money. Their hiring process wasn’t based on hiring the right people for the job but hiring students who were willing to work part time and inconvenient hours. Since the job was low skilled, it was difficult to recruit from a better pool of candidates. According to an article in The Wall Street Journal (2011), employees are unable to get candidates not because the employees are not skilled but it is difficult to find candidates who are willing to accept jobs at the low wages offered. Good employees were hard to come by and there was a high turnover rate. Employees were not given formal training for the job so there were no guidelines to follow. Another problem is a company not taking the time to train employees (Cappelli, 2011) this is something CFS is guilty of. Not even student managers were given proper training as to what responsibilities they had to uphold or guidelines. Students were allowed to eat for free just as long as they were on the clock but CFS was not specific on the policy so students ate for free even if they were off the clock. The culture of the workplace made employees feel comfortable stealing food. They allowed customers to steal and even gave their friends free food. All student employees and student managers knew stealing food from the snack bar was wrong but did it anyway. The only policy that student employees and managers were aware...
