academic institutes into business enterprises which would shift the primary objective of universities from teaching to making money off the endeavors such as intercollegiate athletics which wouldn 't make college any different from a professional sports league.

Pressuring a Master’s degree in Student Affairs and College Counseling from the University of Tennessee at Martin would allow me to work as a professional counselor within many roles in a university setting. In one of my past position as a financial Aid counselor, I enjoyed working with each student helping them with their financial planning for their 4 years of college, but the most important thing I enjoy was being able to encourage each student and having them know I was there if they had…

In leadership, there are many types of approaches. Leaders try to find out what types of problems there are and understand the situation. This all depends on behaviour because all workers do not have the same behaviour. According to Hannagan (2002, pp.36-38), ‘Leadership is the process of motivating other people to act in particular ways in order to achieve specific goals…they are judge on what they do’. Our leader selects some worker for training who is behaving well to leader. Than leader take…

is one hundred percent okay. There are several websites out there that will help you make sure that you do not commit plagiarism or any other form of cheating. Academic Integrity is really important to Western Michigan because it helps keep the university free of cheating and helps promote a healthy learning experience for everyone. It is also really important to me because I would not want to go to a college where everyone plagiarizes and cheats. It would make attending college pointless.…

performance, but fails to do so today. Its credibility as an academic benchmark should be acknowledged, but the test should not be valued so highly. The SAT is far from perfect, yet high schools and colleges place much weight on it. Many prestigious universities will only accept students who have performed well on the SAT.

The grading policy takes less stress off students and puts more stress on the faculty. Today, students just strive to make a 70 or above to pass and finish the course. The grading policy makes it easier for students to cheat or fail without any consequences. Students play the numbers in their head to see what grade they get so they don’t fail the course and have to go to summer school. Now, teachers run after their students to get them to turn in work so that they pass. However, the most effect…

When people go to college you expect to have to do things on your own with little to no assistance, and that all the staff members will be a Grinch. Well I like to keep an open mind, and believe everyone, and every place is good. But I truly believe that Tarrant County College is a great school filled with faculty ready to help when they can, and good resources provided for every student when needed. During the Helpful survey, 10 percent of the students agreed that there was little to no…

average student loan debt on the United States is around 26,000 dollars and student debt as a whole adds up to approximately 1.3 trillion dollars. Too many people are perpetually stuck in debt and too little is done to aid these former students. University costs are on the rise to this day, while scholarships and financial aid grow more and more limited and exclusive. In the matter of college education and student debt, there is no true “good side” to be on. Those who do not attend college are…
