Introduction The flash fiction selection I chose for my performance is the story Mythologies written by R. L. Futrell. I chose this story initially because of the title, having an interest in most cultures ' mythologies and stories I started to read the story. However, upon reading the story I was drawn in by the world surrounding the text. A single paragraph of context is all that is given about why the story is being told. The rest is dedicated to a boring drive to West Virginia and the trivialities

minute. I study from time to time ahead of class but never as a constant thing nor do I earn the material in full before class. I do not like asking for help, so my relationship with professors, and other peers is normally close to none and therefore, I do not take use much of the help provided by peers and professors.

Statistics, professors (full, associate, and assistant) in American universities are still largely comprised of White men (about 46 percent); White men make up the majority of tenured professors at approximately 58 percent (Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics 2015). Although obvious, it should also be stated that college professors typically constitute society’s class of the most educated, having at least one doctorate degree.

universities depends on teaching as well as research and publishing. Great scientists such as Einstein had considerable amount of published papers even before he got the academia job and PhD. On the other hand, I believe that a high quality- teaching professor, who also focuses on research deserves a tenure position. Landing in a tenure position is very difficult, but remains a possibility. Having a sense of quantity and quality of publications is crucial to climb the ladder of an academic tenure position

courses in the discipline of secondary education. I enjoyed studying teaching but early in my undergraduate career I determined that teaching English at the high school level was not my desired life path. Rather, teaching English Literature as a professor was my life's purpose. As an undergraduate, I have taken a deluge of class varying from children's literature to Toni Morrison studies in an attempt to further understand literature.

Many college professors don’t take attendance or have the time to make sure all of their students are making passing grades in all of their courses. If you miss a class, plan on getting notes from a fellow classmate.

Yolanda Garcia's family and friends get their chance to tell the truth about Yo. They express their feelings and their stories about Yo, including how she's always told lies, how she stole the plot for a story from a student, and how her college professor kept trying to prevent her from ruining her life and her talents. Alvarez tells Yolanda's story through other characters, while Yo is denied the privilege of defending herself. It is ironic because initially, the novel is based on Yolanda and how

Research on Professionals in Community Colleges Dustin O’Donnell HPT 484 July 21, 2015   Abstract This paper searches how professionals in two-year universities work and how they accomplish the mission in a community college. This paper examines different aspects of the faculty to how they are hired, competitiveness, promotions, benefits, demographics, workloads, challenges, and teaching. The research was found through online sources, a personal interview, and textbooks. Different forms of faculty

cannot find the answer to, the student will have to wait until the next in-class meeting or email the professor to get the answer. In face-to-face classes, the student could ask the professor immediately, but a student in a blended course would still be able to eventually ask the professor in person, which is an advantage over a MOOC. Even though face-to-face classes have more access to professors, and MOOCs do not require the student to come to campus, blended courses remain beneficial to students
