The readings for this week consisted of reading chapters one through five of Morgan Giddings “4 Steps to Funding; Avoid Rejection and Get Your Grant Funded on the Next Try With This Simple Four Step Formula”. As the title states, Giddings’s work is about how to write grants in a way that will ensure the grant writer obtains funding. Giddings’s writing reads like an infomercial, and while it may seem silly at first, it makes valid points on how to write a grant. Giddings addresses the need for…

Knowing how to assess and or evaluate a peer review article written by scholars can sometimes be a challenge. Gathering information, structuring and formatting papers as well as analyzing framework happens to be the necessary factors to research papers. It’s a huge difference when you’re on a doctoral level of education trying to understand on an advance note (Korb, 2013). For some people being able to establish justification, having an aim, predicting outcomes and being determined to…

The main subject that I’ve chosen correlates to regulations being changed in regards to payment of college athletes. I would focus my attention on the NCAA governing body, government and the public in a persuasive paper to achieve a wide-ranging group of onlookers who may have a concern in this matter. I chose this subject because in light of the facts of this issue I accept change in how the NCAA view amateurism needs to be modified. Additionally, how its governing body should compensate the…

The act of plagiarism is unforgivable, especially in a college environment. Stealing someone’s ideas and claiming them as one’s own is a guaranteed way to be kicked out of college. I believe that this act is wrong, but sadly it’s this same act that I have committed. My plagiarism charge comes from my Tiwi of Australia case study professor. Professor Proudhon spotted a section in my report that came almost directly from a passage and wasn’t cited correctly. I’m not writing to convince anyone…

As recipient of the Schoch Endowed Scholarship for the fall semester of 2015 at Loyola University New Orleans, I simply wanted to thank you. Because of this scholarship, I can apply it to the cost of my tuition and finish my education here at Loyola. I wanted to let you know a little about myself so that you can see whom this generous donation is benefiting. I am a mass communication senior with a concentration in journalism within the College of Social Sciences. I grew up in the greater…

Summary of “College Athletes Need to Be Compensated for Efforts In “College Athletes Need to be Compensated for the Efforts” published in the University Wire, which was written by Eric He who asked, why college athletes do not get paid when the university gains so much from the athlete. He argues that college athletes should be compensated for what they do and should be given more then just a scholarship. He explains how the Kessler, the quarterback for the University of Southern California,…

Academic Integrity Academic integrity….its two words that have come out the mouth of every teacher at the beginning of every year, but what does it mean. The easy answer when this question is asked is to just say don’t cheat but it means more than that. Academic integrity boils down to character at the student, professor, and university level. At the student level academic integrity is 100% character. Does the student turn his/her work in on time, and if they don’t the student is honest with…

Notre Dame. What do I expected from Notre Dame? Many high schools are good. I want to attend to the best highschool possible for me. All schools have special qualities. I believe that Notre Dame stands out the most for me because of its great academics, a variety of clubs, and sports programs. Notre Dame has one of the best academics. Some schools don’t have the best academics. Well I want to expect that they will have the best teachers and tutors who can help the students who don’t…

We are really looking forward to tomorrow's discussion and are hoping it will clarify some of these points for us further - however, we have done a lot of thinkinng about these topics in the last few days and this is how we hope to steer the conversation. Firstly, our readings for this week were centered around intellectuals and universities. But what is an intellectual? We encountered several definitions from diverse sociological standpoints. We started with "those who create, generate, and…

Being a member of the board of a scholarship committee for need-based awards does not come with simple decisions. People that work for this committee have to think about each student suffering from financial problems, along with those who stand out against the others. Having the opportunity to win up to full-tuition for college is an amazing opportunity for many students across America and if in twenty years I had the choice to award the 17-year-old me the Bruce Fishkin Scholarship, I most…
