Co Operative Education And Traditional Education

The inequality of education in the United States is a pressing societal issue that has been the main catalyst for the division between the social classes. Education is a public good, and thus if it used by one consumer then it will not reduce the availability to another consumer. Education can also be considered the largest single factor in determining a person’s success and quality of life in society today.

First, the logic of the article focuses on why students should have a balanced, well-rounded understanding of the world to be successful in life rather than having a career-based education that is only focused on one aspect. There were no obvious fallacies found in Ungar’s argument beyond the generalization about costs for all colleges thus not focusing primarily on the financial situation.

In recent discussions of “Is College Worth It?” By John Green, a controversial issue has been whether, people should attend college or get a job after they finish high school. On the one hand, some argue that people can get a monthly income better than if they have a degree. From this perspective, some people they do not want to attend college. On the other hand, however, others insist that people should attend college after they finish high school. In the words of John Green, one of this view’s proponents, “after graduating from college, I actually made $1 per hour less when I started working as an assistant at Booklist Magazine, but the job was better in every way” (video). According to this view, he was working at Stake and Shake and he was getting better salary than what he got after graduate by 1$ less but money is not everything in life. Then he proved to the audiences through his experience that he was more comfortable with working as assistant at Booklist Magazine even he is making less money. Because he got a better job, got the knowledge, and work on something that he like. In sum, then, the issue is whether to attend college or work without a degree. My own view is that attending college is worth it even if it will cost some sacrifices of things that we can get it in the future. After, all, I have chosen to identify as a college student at Winona State University. Though I concede that choosing the university and working to

At the beginning of the fall semester 1998, my boss, and I exchanged educational views concerning the economical advantages linked to a college degree. He suggested that I seek out a college education – same thing my husband recommended (in the previous chapter).

“Post-secondary education should help students to discover what they do, to get better at it, and develop the ability to continue learning so that they become agent of change- not victims of it,” (Roth). The earnestness and worthy of college cost is implanted by the broadening educational accompaniments along with composing necessitous contributors to society, the urging need of higher skilled work, and the effectiveness in selecting a suitable institution. In broadening educational accompaniments along with the contributors involved in society, innovation is stimulated by high standards that are needed in place to promote the continuation of education and the providers that are formed from their college education. An urging need of higher skilled work is current in the economy by requesting a supply of college graduates along with their capabilities. The effectiveness in the selection of a suitable institution justifies the worth of cost in how it results the individual in completing their degree and the followed benefits in the duration of their life.

The United States holds its education system to a high standard and it attracts immigrants from all over the world. Going to school in the United States is said to open opportunities that would not have otherwise been presented. Unfortunately, education is not as student-tailored as it should be. Over time, education has been made a part of the “system”, which allowed it to be rationalized. Students are judged on how well they can perform on multiple standardized exams and higher education is more expensive than ever. Rationalization of the education system has made it a business; a part of the economy. By making higher education costly, it has also weaved out the disadvantaged and allowed for more efficiency. Efficiency, predictability and precision has become the goal. Education has moved away from allowing individual assessment and pushes for a collective knowledge.

However, institutionalized learning does not act as the sole way to attain knowledge or skills. If individuals simply sought out education, then why would they even consider attending college, particularly in the United States because of the incredibly high tuition? People could read or teach themselves through more efficient and less costly measures, but they continue to attend colleges and pay an increasingly larger sum as the caliber of the university improves. With the assumptions made about individuals that attend specific schools, a demand is created within the education system itself.

When one thinks of college, a person does not question if it is a good or bad investment for the future. Most people would say that college is the greatest decision they made, but is it the best decision for everyone? In their article “Should Everyone Go to College?,” Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill state that students must estimate the value of education associated with number of years to complete a degree to determine the rate of return of education. Owen is a senior research assistant at the Brookings’ Center on Children and Families and Sawhill is a codirector of the Center on Children and Families. There are factors to consider when thinking about a college career including the type of institution to attend and the field of study. It is a common belief that a college education will help a person go further in a career and earn more money over a lifetime. Not all graduates and the degree they chose are equal due to costs of education and the major chosen.

For instance, I am currently enrolled in the Computer Science program here at SFU and I am considering in taking the Computer Science CO-OP program next year. During a working semester of your CO-OP program, it is important how much hands on experience you gain to apply the practical skills the instructor teaches. In addition, it is important to bring the practical skills and theory obtained from past computer science courses to the job improve their understanding of the industry they will work in. Furthermore, past working experiences related to your field of work, good critical thinking and problem solving skills will be very important to enrolling in a CO-OP program. After the working semester, CO-OP students will alternate to their academic semesters to study more materials that they will be able to apply in the next work semester. In a professional context, the CO-OP is an important asset to use at SFU to gain an advantage after

Some may say education is education no matter where you get it from, what you go to school for, or how long you go to school for. But Thompson believes that, the concerns of the citizens are mainly “focused on the effectiveness of educational practices and the quality of student learning” (Thompson 1). Which some of the citizens are because they take pride in accomplishment and to say that they achieved college or university with the knowledge to go off into the field of work, and to gain

Now days, many tenagers and adults have a common question in mind “Should or shouldn't I go to college and get my college degree?”. People are constantly having this debate amongst themselves knowing that getting a college degree can be very beneficial and help them get a suitable job . Still they are aware that many people who don’t get a college degree can find a suitable and well paid job.We all know that the process of a getting a college degree can be very time consuming and can be very costly.We also know that by going to college we will gain educational experience/ knowledge and a preview of what our career involves. Still, the people who choose not to go to college can obtain valuable experience (hands on) in their career they want to pursuit, and over time they will also find a suitable job.

For a number of centuries higher education and professional development were the privilege of men, while the education for women was limited to housekeeping, cooking and even music for girls of aristocratic families. So with these conditions, the idea of a co-education college would seemed crazy. Not only because of the morals, likely to diverge in a mixed-gender environment, but also because this idea would be very unrealistic and unsuccessful, as the purposes of male and female education were too different.

According to the authors of “Should Everyone Go to College?”, the educational system in the United States today is not set up to adequately help students with their individual needs. In other words, attending college after high school should not be the sole focus of the educational system. The authors suggest that schools should better prepare students in the career of their choice, whether that be attending college or a vocational school. I agree with the authors and believe that they are correct to assert their suggestions, for it is only fair that students receive individual aid in the path of their choice.

Availability of a course syllabus was one of the good things that defined the semester. The course syllabus explained the topics that would be taught throughout the semester. Thus, students oriented their minds with the requirements of the course. Such a situation contributed to a substantive part of the success achieved during the course. In addition, the professor encouraged groups work among the students. According to Brown (2014), group work enhance co-operation among the students. Undoubtedly, the teamwork resulting from the group work led to better understanding of business concepts as well contribution of new

Everyone knows about co-curricular. What some of us don’t know about curriculum is that curriculum is as a body of knowledge to be transmitted, it is also as an attempt to achieve certain ends in students – product, plus it is as a process and it is as praxis(Mark K. Smith 1996, 2000). It gave many benefits to a wide range of students and it may help them in many ways. It is also a part of education where it is held outdoors or indoors. Co-curricular activities are optional and pursued outside the classroom to enrich the course syllabi. They are meant to complement and not interfere with the studies. Some say that it is does intervene with studies but there are many researches which state the benefits
