The Problem Of A Student

They 're everywhere! McDonald 's hamburgers can be purchased in cities and suburbs, on riverfronts, in college football stadiums and in discount stores. There are fast food restaurants at most major road intersections, and billions of dollars are spent annually to advertise everything from fast food frozen yogurt to kid 's meals. Grocery stores have even gotten into the act with their own versions of fast food restaurants. Families with sick children can stay in Ronald McDonald houses located close to the hospital where the children are receiving treatment, and businesses routinely come to the aid of disaster victims.

Having a learner’s heart means being open to improving on the skills one already has or being humble enough to acknowledge that they do not know everything. The is a heavy burden in believe that you have come your final opinion or knowledge on anything. The course text book has brought up the need for being a lifelong learner a few times and I believe it is a skill that all people should refine and take up. The encouragement to being a lifelong learned supplement by the tools provided by the course text have been beneficial to be understanding and practice. Some of the tools the course text lists include making time to learn, meeting new people, and going online. Since reading this book, I have tried to implement at least these three things. Making time to learn have been one of the biggest ones. I have also allowed myself to ask questions. Being in college accompanied with being a first-generation college student, I have felt the need to just know things. My family’s assumption about my education has impacted me; several of them assume that college has taught me everything and I am afraid to seem like I do not know things. The education they help me pay for needs to be shown to them through my knowledge. There is a freedom in being able to say “I don’t know, but I’ll try and find out”. I know my family is excited about my education and does not understand exactly what my education and knowledge entails. Being a learner means I do not have to know everything and I can continue to learn from all circumstances and anyone who is willing to teach

After reading “On Becoming a Better Student” by Donna Farhi Schuster, I started to think about some of the idea she mentioned. I have always been a curious person. I have always wanted to learn more about what I was interested in, but that stopped in high school. Expressing interest in something in high school was not something I did often. I was so overwhelmed with busy work in school that I was exhausted by the time I had time to actually sit down and research something I was interested in.

It’s important for me to identify my ‘Learning Style’ because it maximises my own personal learning; Honey and Mumford states ‘’each learner ought to understand their learning style and seek out opportunities to learn using that style’’ to do this. I’d say I’m very particular about the way I go about learning and I am not entirely open-minded in my approach to

In the first video “Beliefs That Make You Fail… Or Succeed” Dr. Steven Chew started off by stating you, the student, cannot become an A student overnight with little to no effort. He made a great point by saying “…students base their study behavior on their beliefs of how they best learn”, I agree with this statement because this could be the reason as to why everyone learns in many different ways. He went over three key facts which fall under “Beliefs That Make You Stupid”, which the first was you should always plan ahead of time because your assignments or reading will most likely take longer than you expected them to, therefore be realistic about your timing. The second key fact would be don’t isolate your learning, this meaning to be open minded because teachers look for conception and if you try to constantly remember the things you’re not really understanding what you’re going over. Thirdly, you aren’t born and automatically good at that subject. You must actually work towards achieving a high success in that subject matter. When it comes to being distracted you’re just losing more

From an early age, it is drilled into our heads: Restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success. We’re told that learning is all self-discipline, that we must confine ourselves to designated study areas, turn off the music, and maintain a strict ritual if we want to ace that test, memorize that presentation, and create writing assignment.

Jenny is very good at whole word discrimination. She did not miss a single one and understood the sounds that the words made. She knew grip-grip was the same word and slip slit were not even though they were close in sound. Rhyming is also a strength for her. I think that rhyming is one of the easiest applications for children. I believe it is also the most fun for them. Syllable counting is also an easy concept for her; she didn’t miss a single one. She even got that hippopotamus had 5 syllables; that’s a big word. She also was correct that elephant had 3, which can easily be mistaken as 2 syllables.

BioMed manufactures prescription topical cream called DermaPlusTM which is used for treating certain skin conditions. The main buyers of DermaPlusTM are hospitals and pharmacies.

The immediate needs in schools. This article focuses on the fact that the basic needs of many of today’s students are not being met. If the basic needs such as shoes, backpack, food, shelter are not provided for these students, how can the more important conversations like college, school or the future have any real meaning for students in school. “The challenge in creating a college-going mindset when basic needs are unmet is obviously complex”(Fujimoto et. Al., p. 89). Many teachers and administrators attempt to engage students to begin thinking about finishing school and continuing on but the future is not always a pressing matter for these students and families. “This

Explain the linkages between the business case and moral case for diversity in organisations. Support your key arguments by sourcing ‘diversity statements disseminated/ publicised by Australian organisations to justify their claims for managing diversity.

Having high technical reasoning and confluence learning patterns are what shaped decisions and tendencies in this class; procrastinating and being late with assignments started early in the course. Learning how to “FIT” my patterns together is a new concept which was difficult to introduce not only in my college course but in my daily life as well. Forging, Intensifying or Tethering my learning patterns are a continual activity and now that I have begun to understand how to decode a task, it will enable me to recognize the learning patterns to use, strengthen and reduce.

Being motivated is a good start, but personal motivation alone is no guarantee of achieving an educational objective. The first step that I need to take as I move into my career path journey is assessing my learning styles. After been out of school for sixteen years, it is clear that the world I learned from is different than today’s method of teaching; therefore, it is important for me to assess my learning style to find out what works for me. After I had completed the Multiple Pathways assessment test, I discovered my learning styles were interpersonal and intrapersonal. As I was reading the definition of these two styles, I was not surprised that I fall into this category. My interpersonal learning style defines my character. It helps me understand my ability to

First off, who I am as a learner has changed over the past years. At times before, I wouldn’t take certain classes or assignments seriously and have learned my lessons when I failed. I believe having classmates at the time who weren’t as focused as I wanted to be, played a big role in my lack of understanding in classes. I understood later that if I felt learning was so important to me, I need to realize that it is my future and I needed to focus on my own. Having learner in my top 5 strengths defines me very well. Rath (2007) explains that, “The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you” (p.133). I believe this defines me as a learner because I enjoy having books in hand, opening up my notebook to write notes and learning new ways to understand the class. Regardless if the content is something I have to get in to or if I don’t do well on tests, I enjoy the process of studying and learning more even when I know I didn’t do so well; that is what motivates me. I believe as long as I keep this mindset and understand that this is my strength, I will continue to grow and further my education as much as possible. Even though I have failed a few of my last classes, I never let that stop me from continuing. Knowing that I have “failed” makes me realize I know I can do better and I try my hardest not to let it get me down. I will not get further if I don’t keep trying and as a learner I am a motivator to myself in my studies.

I work thrity-five hours a week at a warehouse in Ontario California. When I first registered for college classes, I figured college would be fairly easy to fit into my schedule. After all, I thought, college students are not in class all day, like high school students are. So, I assumed the twelve hours a week I’d spend in class wouldn’t be too much of a load. But I was in for a big surprise. My first semester at college showed me that students who work while going to college face problems at school, at work, and at home.

Diabetes is a systemic disease caused by a decrease in the secretion of insulin or reduced sensitivity or responsiveness to insulin by target tissue. (Beale, et al., 2011) The incidence of diabetes is growing rapidly in the United States and worldwide. An estimated 347 million people around the world are afflicted with diabetes. (Whalen, et al., 2012) According to World Health Organization (WHO), Diabetes prevalence among adults over 18 years of age has risen from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014. It is the major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and limbic amputation. World Health Organization (WHO) projects that diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death in 2030. It is a complex and costly disease that can affect nearly every organ in the body and result in devastating consequences. The leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations, renal failure, and blindness in working-age adults, diabetes is also a major cause of premature mortality, stroke, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, congenital malformations, perinatal mortality, and disability. (Cefalu, 2000) Insulin therapy and oral hypoglycemic agents have demonstrated improvement in glycaemic control. However, Insulin therapy has some disadvantages such as ineffectiveness following oral administration, short shelf life, of the need for constant refrigeration, and fatal hypoglycaemia, in the event of excess dosage.
