I have always wanted to pursue a doctoral program but never had the financial resources. Hence, I researched and found this doctoral program offered by The Swiss Management Center University (SMC) which is a high quality multifaceted online education program which is accredited by Accredited Council of Business Schools Program (ACBSP). Furthermore, it is affordable, flexible very informative and relevant in both academic and business sectors. (SMC, n.d.).
Several people influenced my decision to pursue a doctorate degree at different levels. First, Dr. Wangari Maathai who was the first Kenyan Woman to pursue a doctorate degree and was a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, (Graf, 2016). Secondly, inspiration from my former

Although learning new concepts is sometimes difficult, I am determined to eliminate counterproductive and redundant methods of doing my studies. At the same time, it is necessary that I maintain effective communication methods which will include both written and oral communications. Besides, it is also necessary that I acknowledge that failure is also an important learning process which is a part of the double-loop learning method (Argyris, 1991).
This is extensively elaborated in the article Teaching Research Methods for Doctoral Students in Education talks about teaching doctoral students research methods that they could apply in their field. When doctoral students first enrolled, their aim was to do well academically. However, as time progressed, the students become interested in the multidisciplinary research methodologies process. Furthermore, they learned different aspects such as effective data collection through the interview, exploring documented work such as syllabus and historical documentation through reading past research projects. Moreover, they also learned analysis of the results included quantitative and qualitative method while taking into consideration theoretical work combined. (Coronel Llamas & Boza, 2011).

Plagiarism entails taking another person’s work and passing it as one’s own. (What is Plagiarism? n.d.). As a researcher, this can be
As per readings of Lecture 5 “Academic Expectations at GCU” Plagiarism is defined as the use of another person’s thoughts, ideas, words, quotations, or phrases without the proper acknowledgment of where the I information came from.
Plagiarism is when you copy someone else’s work whether it be research, ideas, or photos, and say
Educationally wise our community, life experiences and past professor’s we have come in contact with have played a significant role in our development as doctoral students we are becoming today. As we being to reflect on what we read we will begin the process of higher level thinking. The sole purpose of this paper is to examine, compare, and synthesize themes of three empirical articles. The three articles compared were as follows: article one by Weidman, & Stein (2003) titled “Socialization of doctoral students to the academic norms was a study.” Article two by Baker & Lattuca (2010) titled “Developmental networks and learning toward an interdisciplinary perspective on identity development”looked at the bond between theories. Article three Visser, Visser & Schlosser (2003) titled “Critical thinking distance education and traditional education” acknowledged the benefits by relating both educational settings. In comparison to all three articles were written with a different purpose in mind, with all three connecting to the same theme, “How does faculty play a role in the development of the doctoral student?” There were similarities found in the subject addressed. However, it was also apparent that there were differences in each article.
The Learning Theory influences everyone’s culture, ethnicity, gender, and social status, by being from different geographical location and religious background everyone has a unique characteristic, when it comes to learning or problem solving. One of the most important events in a human’s life is the “Learning Theory”.
In today’s era of education, plagiarism is a global issue; each academic institution is facing heavy issue. Plagiarism is derived from the Latin word “predatory”, which means kidnapping or theft. "Plagiarism, broadly defined, encompasses presenting other people’s ideas as your own without clearly giving
The research by Jazvac-Martek is commendable and offers a much needed discussion on the expectations and motivations of doctoral students. However, I would have preferred a larger and more diverse group of participants. The
Plagiarism, what is plagiarism? Plagiarism is taking someones work and saying it is yours. At the University of Virginia even though it is a campus with a very rich academic enviorment there are still many issues one of the main ones being plagiarism. Last Spring at the University of Virginia 157 students have been investigated
The successful completion of the doctoral program requires one to make significant sacrifices and accommodations. Majority of the doctoral students are usually motivated and eager to complete their program as soon as possible. However, many students often enroll for doctoral programs without a complete understanding of the heavy demands of such a program. The doctoral program is unique and bears little resemblance to many previous degree courses and so without the necessary accommodations one can find completing it an uphill task. Each student brings to the program his/her own set of academic strengths and weaknesses (Wisdom, & Leavitt, 2015). The attitude and abilities of each and every doctoral student is unique and so is their management of the program. Therefore, the most important ingredient to doctoral success is the capability to leverage such inherent strengths and find effective ways
It is when I looked back on my personal and research experiences that I decided to pursue an MD/PhD. They have taught me, above all, that what I can get by achieving my goals is not as important as what I become by achieving them. Asking myself who I am and what do I want to do in life have led me to some of the most important decisions of my life.
What the learning theories tell you about different ways to help learners learn most effectively
All three articles utilize many different tools to foster and promote distance education. The tools identified above ensure the doctoral student has sufficient socialization, development and collaboration with their peers to ensure personal and professional
A doctoral learner must be able to read and carefully analyze the materials before them and be able to present the material in a way that if they are in conflict be able to show why this information is not in agreement.
Plagiarism is a act of imprinting another person's writing, conversation, or even ideas. This even includes the information one gets from WebPages, the published papers online and even articles
Plagiarism is defined as using others people’s ideas, writings, and quotes without giving credit to the author by citing the material in the paper. Plagiarism can come from copying many things including charts, graphs, text, and music. Even paraphrasing an author’s work without citing it can be considered plagiarism. Plagiarism certainly has been around long before the first research project was assigned. One of the most famous scientists Gregor Mendel had his work plagiarized by another scientist Hugo de Vries in the 19th century.[1] Mendel had come up with breakthroughs in genetics, but no one realized what he had accomplished. Later in the early 1900’s, de Vries
“Copying’ or “borrowing” someone else’s words or ideas may perhaps be the more inoffensive way of explaining plagiarism. However, these two terms may deliver a connotation that plagiarism is not much of a serious offense. Whether the act of plagiarising is intentional or unintentional, it is considered as a fraud. In an academic setting plagiarism may even
