The Challenges For Students Today

Many people have an easy road to get a higher education, many don’t because we all come from different culture, society, and social class. Also, the general public has their own complications in their life. Unfortunately, money is the biggest problem that almost all people have to face and during their college life, it is hard for students to manage money for tuition fees, bills, and for the food and shelter. “Community College Students Face a Very Long Road to Graduation” is an article written by Ginia Bellafante and published by The New York Time on October 3, 2014. In the article, Bellafante has written about the LaGurdia Community College student, Vladimir de Jesus academic life and also talks about why Community Colleges have low graduation rate.

It is important to use the GCU library vs. internet search because using the GCU library you have access to over 46,000 full-text journal titles covering every major academic subject, and also receiving quality academic content. Using general internet search, publishers may want you to pay for the access of full-text content. Using scholarly, peer-reviewed resources will attribute to the overall quality of my course work. Being that information is everywhere on the internet you want to evaluate the accuracy and the reliability of the resources. It would be my job to research and evalutate all internet searches in a proper

Study conducted by Hicks (2006), compared educational barriers of first-generation to non-first-generation students; first-generation students had dissimilar expectations of college, poorer academic abilities, lack of social preparation, lack of self-esteem, and more financial constraints (Hicks, 2003; Thayer, 2000).

When I discovered that my English class had to do a Research Paper, I became horrified. I thought students only did this when they were finishing graduate school not when they were starting their first year in college. All I knew about research papers was that there is an overwhelming amount of research to do. In my efforts to complete this obstacle and not bore myself to sleep with researching, I wanted to do an interesting topic, but I had no idea where to begin. I spent hours going through a great number of subjects and people, but once I found topic remotely interesting, I could not find much information on the Library of Congress website. Therefore, I decided to choose one word that would hopefully lead me to an interesting topic. I

describe the location of the research database in a way that a reader could find it. This could be a URL or an APA citation;

Are you aware that at least forty percent of the United States is made up of first-generation students? (Earl, 1987.) Being given the label “first-generation,” by definition, means that a student is the first in his or her family to attend and finish college with a college degree. In Hicks 2006 study, he compared the educational barriers of first-generation students to those non-first-generation students. As a result, Hicks found out the first-generation students had different expectations of college, poor academic abilities, lack of social skills, low self-esteem, and more financial restrictions (Hicks, 2003; Thayer, 2000). There are many challenges that first-generation students face in pursuit of a college degree: academic challenges,

One goal that I would like to meet, is to become the best student I can possibly be to my full potential. I want to work on these three particular areas which can help me excel academically, Technical Knowledge, Reading Recall and Writing. The obstacles and distractions that hold me back from achieving the greatest academic success at times include, attempting too much at once, interruptions by outside interference such as phone calls, noise from the television, and my dog barking when he hears certain noise unsettling to his ears. I haven't purchased a desk yet to complete my school work so in result, I study on my bed and then the next thing I know I'm falling asleep. Another one of my obstacles include procrastination and I say this because

I agree with your post. The Nursing & Allied Health Database is a full supply for students, teachers, researchers, and healthcare professional and also contains leading journals plus nursing procedure videos, reports that aid cultural competency.The ProQuest health Management helps health administration studies, covering insurance, and topics related to the delivery of patient care. The database providers tend to concentrate the information needs of professionals and also is best used for those preparing for a career in healthcare, teaching patient care, or engaged in nursing research.

To begin my search process, I thought of material I already knew for my subject. Then after coming to a conclusions on material I felt like learning more about, I began reading material off ordinary websites on my laptop. Discovering that some websites were useless led me to rethink my choices. While reconsidering what to do, I simply went to the C.O.S academic data base and clicked on the links “SIRS Issue Researcher” and “Global Issues in Context”. These are the primary tools I used for most of my research. At first it was difficult due to some of the articles not containing the information I needed and were just boring.

A challenge facing my organization is that they are changing from a quarter based school, to a semester based school. This is a challenge because for the first few semesters the school will still run a quarter based system, as well as a semester based. This is an issue with the students as well as the staff. Transitioning to a semester based will be hard on the students who enjoy the quarter based system. The staff will have a hard time in the beginning because the quarter and semesters will be running at the same time. And the full transition is not planned to take place till June of 2018. Until that time, it will be very difficult to balance two separate schedules. I believe that the students will not be able to adjust to the transition. Even

How might we determine the year that we are preparing our learners for? What years should we be preparing them for?

Gale PowerSearch is a search platform unlike any other, providing libraries, universities, schools and businesses with a sophisticated yet simple solution for managing a wealth of periodical, reference, multimedia and primary source information. Moreover, Gale

When reviewing the EBSCO help tools it explains that even in a basic search there are still search options. Help tools similarly explain, options for selecting phrases, choosing AND/OR, and even turn on a smart text search, which leverages technology to conduct the best results. Without limiting the search a basic search of mobile banking turns up 11,081 items. This is a much smaller pool than what ProQuest brought up, however, EBSCO seems to be more business focused and also lists, newspapers, magazines, trade publications and videos.

However, in order to conduct this research, there is going to be a heavy reliance on the personal computer (PC) and the connection to the World Wide Web to search several database, such as the CDC/WONDER/BRFSS, NIH, Pubmed, WONDER, etc., because these are all facets of the health information system.1 Hence, knowing how to access and use these databases will definitely enhance our evidence-based clinical decision1 for the best possible outcome.

My life as a student has been a fairly good one. I’ve received good grades throughout all my years of high school and pride myself as an intelligent individual. But my individual ability to grow and learn has been always changing and shifting as I have grown. I think that currently, I am at a low point in my mindset and learning ability, but there is hope on the horizon. This essay will explore the growth and mindset of Will Roser, and how I can grow as a learner, friend, and individual.
