Whether attending college the traditional classroom way or attending online college the student vision of the future must be clear. When I decided to return to college, the force that was driving me was to make a better life for my son and I. That is the reason I feel why a lot of students to…

an iPad was. Not too many people owned a standard tablet. Now, it is more common to see people reading on tablets instead of inside books. Thanks to the iPad and other tablets, the Kindle ebooks app and iBooks are now widely used. The popularity of e-readers has eliminated many long-standing bookstores because more people prefer instant access to the books they want to read. With a tablet like the iPad, it is really important to take good care of it. Even though so many people own them, they…

challenged for its use of controversial racial language, is one of those books that many view as damaging. Martha Moore wrote for USA Today, “When the younger reader is staring at that word five times on a given page and the instructor is saying, 'Mark Twain didn't mean this and you have to read it with an appreciation of irony,' you're asking a lot of…

Proctoring is the act to serve as a proctor. A proctor is an impartial third party whose tasks are to supervise a student during an examination and make sure they comply with all the rules and processes of that examination (Proctor, n.d.). University of the People requires proctored exams just as any other university.

1. Explain what “proctoring” means and why the UoPeople requires proctored exams. A proctored exam is an exam that is overseen by a trustworthy adult that does not have any vested interest in whether the student passes or fails. It is a way of testing to insure fairness and credibility. The reason the UoPeople requires it is because UoPeople is an online institution. In Contrast, a brick and mortar school does not necessarily require students to find their own proctors because the professors…

How would you feel if once you graduated college and got a position in your career field only to find out that everything you have been taught is 4 to 5 years behind every piece of technology you will be required to use? I pose this question, because some of my text books, mainly the text books on technological systems and programs were published 4 to 5 years ago, the world of technology moves so fast that by the time a book on technology is published it is already out of date. Is it at all…

Our process to critically think and solve situations helps us in everyday situations and in even more dire situations. However, this skill can make us miss important information. Previously, many studies that have been done have shown that base rate information is affected with diagnostic information being present. During this experiment, we will also try to replicate the results that previous…

Open online courses are not for everyone, but one person I know that would be perfect for online courses though is James Gregory. Gregory is perfect for open online courses because he is persistent, flexible, and unselfish. Being flexible is important, especially when it is with something you are not used too. In regular schools, the teacher is there to help if you do not understand something, but on MOOC that is not the case. In MOOC there are thousands of students in one class, it is…
