Being A Non Traditional Student

It is important for businesses and professionals to be versed in ethical issues because it helps with decision-making when faced with different situations that create a moral dilemma. Business and professional ethics help to develop a certain moral standard and expectation in the business world. The ethics in which a business or a professional operates within benefits both the giver and receiver. Engaging in the exchange of goods, services and information requires some level of trust in order to maintain civility. The thought that a person or a business is doing things that are unethical

I choose these four articles below because either I could relate to them, in some form or fashion, or I gained knowledge of the events as well as people in the articles. The natural plumbing article I found insightful, how infrastructure has changed so much. The Anne Frank article I did not remember her story from childhood, through this article I have been encouraged to gain more knowledge about WWII and the concentration camps. Coronel Sanders and his celebrity reign with his franchise KFC encouraged me to stay focused and not give up. Hence why I am a non-traditional college student, I want to finish something I started years ago for self-gratification. The slave sold to save Georgetown I related to because of the similarity of recently finding out about my ancestry and who is in my family lineage.

Recent studies indicate an increase in the numbers of nontraditional students returning to colleges; the enrollment of students ages 25 and older rose by 13 percent between 1997 and 2007. NCES (2009) reported that from 2006 to 2017, there will be a continual increase in enrollment to nearly 20 percent for this age group (Bonner et al., 2015; Kenner & Weinerman, 2011; Ross-Gordon, 2011). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) there are 162.3 million people in the United States and the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning claims that 38 million working adults 25 and older have taken some college courses but have not completed a degree (Bergman et al., 2014). Today, more

Being a collage student isnt easy things.people used to think that being collage student you could spend more time to hangout or play around with your friends but the fact is you cant. A lots of task will always accompany you in every night so you couldnt have enough time to sleep.you also have to have a strong desire,because if you didnt have it you'll never pass the semester with a good score. the very important things is you have to keep a good relationship with every lecturer because it will helps you later. So? Do you still that easy

Despite the similarities between traditional and non-traditional students, differences in adult students’ experience of and perceptions about education make their transition to college unique. In order to be successful in recruiting and retaining non-traditional students, universities need to provide resources and incentives to this sector of students. In American in the mid 1970’s, only 30% of all jobs required higher education (Gonzalez). Today, the reality is that 63% now require post-secondary education (Gonzalez). The immense number of job losses in the last few years due to the declining economy has had a large impact on the non-traditional student population. With this growing trend in education, universities need to compete

Traditional and nontraditional college students share few similarities in today's quest for a college degree.  In fact just about the only similarity between the two types of students is just that, they are both students.  The Wall Street Journal estimated in a 2013, article the number of traditional students was just 29% down almost 10% from 1990.  The National Center for Education Statistics defines a nontraditional student "as meeting one of seven characteristics: delayed enrollment into post-secondary education; attends college part-time; works full time; is financially independent for financial aid purposes; has dependents other than a spouse; is a single parent; or does not have a high school diploma" (Pelletier, p. 1).  Being a student at Kennesaw State University it is hard to imagine anyone who does not fit into one of those seven outlined categories. Being asked to compare traditional and nontraditional

The two articles I selected to write about addressed nontraditional students. Nontraditional student is a term that has been described many different ways, but a common consensus is - a full-time or part-time college or university enrollee that is age 25 or older (Scott & Lewis, 2011, p. 1; Ely, 1997; Jinkens, 2009; O’Keefe, 1993).

Most colleges in the world have a code of ethics for students, codes of ethics identify and proscribe behavior that may expose the college to licit liability and additionally define and promote other ethical principles consequential to the university by outlining concrete bounds of acceptable conduct, and providing guidance on how to address ethical issues that are liable to arise. We did not find a specific code of ethics for CCSIT college. We must have more IT code of ethics in the university code of ethics because that could be more auxiliary and it has positive impacts in improving IT field. Regarding this issue, we suggest to provide specific code of ethics for each college.

Allows nontraditional students to have a more enriched experience at college by being kept up to date on current events, information and so forth, allowing nontraditional students to thrive in academics and their social life on campus.

At St George’s University there is also a psychological centre that caters to the needs of an ever growing student population. As modern societies grow and develop, so does the diversity of college and university students. The increase in technology creates a surge in individuals looking to further develop and create better opportunities for themselves. These individuals are referred to as Nontraditional students. The number of college students 25 years and over has grown from fewer than 4million in 1980 to more than 6 million in 2000. Nontraditional students make up 45% of the total US graduates population (National Center of Education Statistics, US Census Bureau, 2001). Nontraditional students includes; older, part-time, First Generation, Minority culture and students Athletes. These group although separate can sometimes overlap into each other, An older student can be a part time as well as a first generation could belong to a minority Culture group. Despite this however,

In today’s world, individuals can make a single decision that can have a positive or negative effect on their family, coworkers, friends, or on the entire world. However, the life we lead can reflect our personal character. Therefore, personal ethics are different for each one of us. However, when we work in a professional career, we have our own work character to reflect on. What is professional ethics? “Professional ethics concerns the moral issues that arise because of the specialist knowledge that professionals attain, and how the use of this knowledge should be governed when providing a service to the public” (Chadwick 1998). Today, Librarianship is a profession that has a code of professional ethics to help us to behave a

Of course, this proposal is a work in progress, but if this proposal seemed to not be as beneficial as planned, I suppose we could make it mandatory for nontraditional students to go for a tour on campus once they are accepted, causing them to learn about the campus, things offered on campus and so forth. This would not cause Towson to lose any more money because they already pay students to give tours on campus.

The doing ethics technique The technique of analysis depends upon asking questions. It has been found that the order in which the questions are asked is also important. The following questions, in this order, have been found to work best (through trial and error over many semesters). Q1 What is going on? – What are the facts? Q2 What are the issues? Q3 Who is affected? Q4 hence, What are the ethical issues and implications? Q5 What can be done about it? - What options are there? and Q6 Which option is best? – and Why? Benefits An injunction to 'think ethically' about a situation is not helpful. Perhaps if one has a background in moral philosophy this would work, but usually both students and IT professionals require some form of guidance as to how to achieve an appropriate outcome. The technique has proven itself as a means to achieving this, at least for PIIT students. This approach is not dependent on a particular standard, such as the code of ethics of a particular professional society. It is a technique that can be applied in a variety of circumstances, not limited by technological, cultural or religious background. The approach is not limited by one's moral philosophy. One can use this technique effectively and be an objectivist, holding that certain moral truths remain good independently of personal likes and dislikes, or a relativist, holding that truths are relative to the individual

“An ethical framework is a way of structuring your deliberation [discussion] about ethical questions,” according to the Center for Ethical Deliberation (Frameworks, 2007). The impact of ethics on technology applications in the schools is decreasing as information is being passed through the portals without regards to implications on the students’ future. Within the student information systems that are used in the schools employees are becoming careless with students’ data. “The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy interests of students” (National Forum on Education Statistics, 2006, Pg. 2). Employees of the

IT Professional is a publication (Keith W. Miller 2009), it is such like book publication, it also has copyright problem, plagiarism problem, and many problems like book publication, so, to be the Professionals, they must act like the book authors to solve these problems. In aspects of IT, the side of ethical problems are including advice on how professionals can recognize, analyze, and make judgments on challenging questions about right, wrong, and computing. Computers have become essential tools of modern humans, regardless life, entertainment, education, work, and business are related with computer. Computer impact on human society very much. So knowing the Information Technology Ethics is very important to everyone, because it is useful to everyone who lives in this
