The Importance Of Late Work In Middle And High School

In his article “College Students Need to Toughen Up, Quit Their Grade Whining”, Robert Schlesingner addresses the emerging issue of grade inflation, and more specifically, the greater sense of entitlement that seems to prevail in the modern scholastic realm. Mr. Schlesingner begins his address by presenting his background and what standards and expectations were common during his time through both lower-level education and college. During his time [time in what?], a grade of C represented “adequate” or average work, B correlated with “an above average job”, and obtaining an A required “spectacular” performance by the student. [more concise] However, as cited by Mr. Schlesingner, an investigation by the University of California-Irvine seems to indicate that the values of each letter grade has changed, at least in the mind of the modern student with more students now believing that A’s and B’s should be more easily obtained and that the amount of effort put into a task should be considered when grading. Next, Mr. Schlesingner presents his opinions on this topic of grade inflation and the proper influence of student effort on grade. To conclude,

Sunday nights on Cartoon Network has become fertile ground for some of the most side-spitting, razor-sharp humor on this side of a cable box. The show concepts that constitute the "Adult Swim" block of programming on CN has drawn its fair share of rave reviews and harsh criticism from anybody willing to offer an opinion. For Afro-American viewers, no show represents that aforementioned razor's edge quite like Aaron McGruder's comic strip creation, "The Boondocks". The first season of the weekly series found every way possible to poke humor at many of the events, individuals, and situations we see around ourselves on a daily basis. In some cases, the biting satire that's

way out for many students to hand in work without actually doing the work and thinking for

Have you ever wondered about the effects that would be brought if school started later? At the moment, school clearly begins too early. This is a problem that is unquestionably bringing negative affects to many students. Many schools throughout the country are addressing this problem by considering school schedule changes including later start times for middle and high schools. Research indicates there are unfavorable effects to current school schedules, as well as well as positive effects to delayed start times. To best meet the needs of teens, school should start later.

Turning work in on time is a skill that is helpful throughout life. For example, college applications, bills, and taxes are some responsibilities that need to be turned in on time and working on this skill during school can make life easier. If I could teach elementary school students one lesson, I would teach them the importance of turning work in on time as it can help them improve organizational skills, decrease their stress, and raise their grades. Organization is extremely important in school and turning in work on time can make organizing easier. When work is turned in, there is more space in a binder to keep important notes.

According to the article of The Student Fear Factor “ Melanie a recent high school graduate and a first semester college student at Lakeshore community college.” This quote gives explanation about her life experience. Being a college student has the responsibility to turn in their work on time without telling them and it is not the same as high school. In high school the teachers would remind the students everyday to turn in their homework on time. In college the student has to be responsible for their homework to be turned in on time and also independent for their self to make the right decision in life. For this reason, Melaine mention in her story life “ In high school , if you didn’t do homework , you were able to copy off a kid ,one of your friends, or you were able to find out information from one of your friends if you skipped a day or whatever.” Melanie explains that in high school was easy to just copy off a friend and turn in her homework on time even though she didn’t attend to school or ask a friend about the information she missed while skipping a day. In college is not too easy to copy off a friend because the professor can get mad at the student was copying off a friend and also they can get the student out of college.

In the following paper I will be discussing what series of actions brought me to write this paper, the army regulations surrounding said actions, the possible effects these actions might have on the accomplishment of the mission, the possible affects on your career, and how to discourage and possibly stop such things from ever happening soon or ever again. The reason I am being subject to this time consuming, uninspired, and rather lackluster writing assignment is because I failed to be at the correct place of duty at the time appointed to me by my superiors. The day before we had a relatively late work call and I adjustment my alarm clock to reflect the change and give myself ample time to get myself ready

Research has shown that teenagers experience a change in their internal sleep clocks so that waking up early and going to sleep early are difficult. I agree with the decision to change school times and what it has to offer. This would not only help the teenagers with many things but also accommodate the parents schedules too. I believe that if the school system were to alter the times so that High Schoolers were to wake up later then it would fix various conflicts; teen depression, lack of awareness, and it allows parents to work later.

Carolyn Foster Segal sarcastically discussed the numerous reasons students came to her in need of turning in assignments late. Most reasons were so redundant and absurd that she had to title her essay about her experiences as a college professor, "The Dog Ate My Disk, and Other Tells of Woe." However, as a student, I can understand why a student face so many obstacles while seeking success in their overall education and, specifically, seeking punctuality in their assignments. Whether it is from their home situation, overall well-being, the work itself, or their life outside of school and family, there are several excuses that can justify the late submission of an assignment.

To receive full credit, assignments must be on-time.  Applicable late work may be accepted within the same unit of study and with approval of the instructor.  Late work will not receive more than 50% of the original possible score.  Also, late work that is time sensitive may not be eligible for the late work policy.

Students in one class were required to submit each paper on a fixed schedule, with each deadline a third way into semester. However, the students in the other class were given the freedom to self-impose their own deadlines, so long as the deadlines were declared in advance and could not be changed after the fact. Papers that were handed in after their designated deadline were penalized in grading. At the end of the semester, all the papers were graded blind to ensure each was graded fairly and without bias.

College students have to balance work, family, and college activists and any delaying behavior from within can cause an unbalance. This behavior is called procrastinating and it can lead to problems in many areas of a student’s life. College students are the worst hit by this type of behavior because they have many different activities to focus on instead of studying. These activities can cause students to study when they have time which often is usually too short amount of time. There is a time and place to relax and enjoy life, but if students focus on playing around instead of getting their assignments done, college life will be stressful.

Wednesday : I got a new project today, it’s not due till Wednesday next week, so I have six days to do it, but I have better things to do I’ll do it tomorrow.

According to Semb, Glick and Spencer (1979), the level of procrastination increases as an individual stays longer in universities. It was stated by Ellis and Knaus (1977) that approximately, over 70% of college students engage in this activity. Undergraduates tend to start papers during the last minute; they fail to prioritize what should be accomplished first, and as a result, their academic performance is greatly affected. A detrimental effect on their studies leads to having poor grades and eventually, failure in class (Semb, et.al., 1979).

Deadline-induced Stress intensifies the feeling of urgency for students to give their heart and soul to finish the work. Studying in college is really hard not like in elementary and high school a. During our first step in our studies (elementary) and high school second step. We worked out and play in groups. Not the same because in college we are acquired by our professors to bring out our best. The best of our ability we to categorize our self to where we belong. Work out alone to every subject items and categorize it in fully detailed. The professor wanted us to handled responsibilities and be liable to it. Professors wanted students to give their hearts and soul to finish the work.
