students

Academic departments vary in their procedures for assigning academic advisers to graduate students.

All students are very friendly with new arrivals.

And in my position as a professor at three different colleges, the actual problems in educating our young people and older students have deepened, while the number of people hired—not to teach but to hold meetings—has increased significantly.

And this week, dozens of those students are getting ready to head out to Nashville, Tennessee to compete with about 5000 other young people at the Super Nationals of Chess.

As a result, their math grades overtook those of the other students by the end of the first semester—and the gap between the two groups continued to widen during the two years we followed them.

As I was suffering through my week of anxiety, overthinking the material and guessing my grasp of it, I did some of my own polling among students and professors.

As predicted, the students with a growth mind-set felt that learning was a more important goal than getting good grades.

As universities go digital, students are complaining of a new hit to their finances that's replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: pricey online access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.

Asian-American students have been eager participants in a state program that permits them to take summer classes off campus for high school credit, allowing them to maximize the number of honors and Advanced Placement classes they can take, another practi

At the start of junior high, the math achievement test scores of the students with a growth mind-set were comparable to those of students who displayed a fixed mind-set.

Business schools grade their students in part on their performance in group projects.

But as the work became more difficult, the students with a growth mind-set showed greater persistence.

But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (觀念) of the textbook business, and are even harder for students to opt out of.

But instead of bringing families together, Aderhold's letter revealed a divide in the district, which has 9,700 students, and one that broke down roughly along racial lines.

Confronted by a setback such as a disappointing test grade, students with a growth mindset said they would study harder or try a different strategy.

Congratulations! Yes, I believe for international students, you'll have to pay around 13,000 pounds a year.

David Anderson, the executive director of higher education with the Association of American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News. "It helps students understand in a way that you can't do with print homework assignments."

Despite being unaware that there were two types of instruction, teachers reported significant motivational changes in 27% of the children in the growth mindset workshop as compared with only 9% of students in the control group.

Digital learning systems now charge students for access codes needed to complete coursework, take quizzes, and turn in homework.

Following the Harvard scandal, Mary Miller, the former dean of students at Yale, made an impassioned appeal to her school's professors to refrain from take-home exams.

For instance, talking about mathematical geniuses who were more or less born that way puts students in a fixed mindset, but descriptions of great mathematicians who fell in love with math and developed amazing skills produce a growth mind-set.

Forty-eight of the students received instruction in study skills only, whereas the others attended a combination of study skills sessions and classes in which they learned about the growth mind-set and how to apply it to schoolwork.

From 1800 to the resent day, textbooks have done this by posing questions for students to answer inductively.

From such instruction, many students began to see themselves as agents of their own brain development.

He believes students ultimately learn more and encourages them to form study groups.

highlighting, Post-It notes, dog-ears and other techniques allow for further customization that students value in print books over digital forms of books.

How students ultimately handle tests may depend on their personal test-taking abilities.

I am making my way through Columbia University, surrounded by students who quickly supply the verbal answer while I am still processing the question.

I designed an eight-session workshop for 91 students whose math grades were declining in their first year of junior high.

I realized these different types of students not only explain their failures differently, but they also hold different "theories" of intelligence.

I want my students to search out the answers to questions by using all the resources available to them.

If we replaced half of our administrative staff with classroom teachers, we might actually get a majority of our classes back to 20 or fewer students per teacher.

In 2012, 125 students at Harvard were caught up in a scandal when it was discovered they had cheated on a take-home exam for a class entitled "Introduction To Congress".

In any case, new graduate students can learn who their advisers or temporary advisers are by visiting or emailing the departmental office and asking for the information.

It is true that textbook publishers have recently reported losses, largely due to students renting or buying used print textbooks.

It might be they have to talk to other students in the class to help get an answer.

It produces Science Olympiad winners, classically trained musicians and students with perfect SAT scores.

Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditional printed textbooks, the company added.

It's just a bit more than the local students.

Jody has created several different presentations which she gives to different types of audiences, and she tries to establish an emotional connection with the students so that they will feel comfortable asking questions or talking to her privately.

Komada likes to teach his students that they should think about their move before they do it.

Komada says chess gives him, and his students, control.

Later, students may have the opportunity of selecting the adviser that they prefer.

Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support.

Many students find English a difficult language to learn.

Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn't enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students.

Recently I attended several meetings where we talked about ways to retain students and keep younger faculty members from going elsewhere.

She told BuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a system provided by McGraw hill where students can suBMIt homework, take exams and track their grades.

since you're going to university in England, do you know how much it is for international students to study there?

single-sex education can have enormous benefits for female students.

Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population.

Sometimes, Jody feels that she succeeds in persuading some students to stop dieting; other times, she feels that she fails.

Students are more likely to think about their actions and see whether they will lead to trouble.

Students risk health and well being,as well as performance in other end-of-term work, when faculty offers take-home exams without clear, time-limited boundaries.

Students who don't get enough sleep have poor attendance and lower grades.

Students with such a growth mind-set were destined for greater academic success and were quite likely to outperform their counterparts.

Teachers should aim to build a supportive, creative environment for students to do this work.

Textbook publishers connect professors, instructors and students in ways that alternatives, such as open e-textbooks and open educational resources, simply do not.

That means students are asked to use their individual experience to come up with answers to general questions.

The alternative, he suggested, was to face the prospect of becoming another Palo Alto, California, where outsize stress on teenage students is believed to have contributed to a number of suicides in the last six years.

The E-Kaia solves two problems for the engineering students: they needed an idea for a class project; they also needed an outlet to plug in their phones.

The goal of Professor Goel's virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum.

The issue of the stresses felt by students in elite school districts has gained attention in recent years as schools in places like Newton, Massachusetts, and Palo Alto have reported a number of suicides.

The students were actually very positive about the experience.

The students who held a fixed mind-set, however, were concerned about looking smart with less regard for learning.

The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn't tell it apart from a real human being.

The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students.

The three engineering students got the idea for the device while sitting in their school's courtyard.

The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn't know she was a computer.

Then students select adviser based on shared academic interests.

These companies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their new online offerings, when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent the future of the industry.

They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.

This would be an environment in which teachers and students actually knew each other.

Three university students in Santiago, Chile, have developed a plant-powered device to charge their mobile phones.

Universities posted research data on the Internet, so students could find valuable information without leaving their dormitories.

We validated these expectations in a study in which two other psychologists and I monitored 373 students for two years during the transition to junior high school, when the work gets more difficult and the grading more strict, to determine how their mind-

When students feel isolated or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to fade.

When Ted Komada started teaching 14 years ago at killip elementary, he didn't know how to manage a classroom and was struggling to connect with students.

When the students came in, sharpened pencils in hand, there was not a blue book in sight.

You probably think college students are experts at sleeping, but parties, preparations for tests, personal problems and general stress can wreck a student's sleep habits, which can be bad for the body and the mind.

Across the board, American colleges and universities are not doing a very good job of preparing their students for the workplace or their post-graduation lives.

After all, students making their own choices in this respect is what caused the problem in the first place.

Although going to college is supposed to be a full-time job, students spent, on average, only 12 to 14 hours a week studying and many were skating through their semesters without doing a significant amount of reading and writing.

And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation.

And while Rubinoff believes there are a good number of four-year schools that truly care about these students and set aside significant resources and programs for them, he says that number isn't high enough.

Another influential feeder for advanced-math students is an online school called Art of Problem Solving, which began about 13 years ago and now has 15,000 users.

But with homework counting for no more than 10% of their grades, students can easily skip half their homework and see very little difference on their report cards.

Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot complete on their own or that they cannot do without expensive equipment.

College officials tend to emphasize that the goal of grade forgiveness is less about the grade itself and more about encouraging students to retake courses critical to their degree program and graduation without incurring a big penalty.

For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.

For years,studies have found that first-generation college students—those who do not have a parent with a college degree—lag other students on a range of education achievement factors.

Grade forgiveness allows students to retake a course in which they received a low grade, and the most recent grade or the highest grade is the only one that counts in calculating a student's overall GPA.

Grade inflation—the gradual increase in average GPAs grade—point averages over the past few decades—is often considered a product of a consumer era in higher education, in which students are treated like customers to be pleased.

historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas.

Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned.

Many students find themselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to another after taking college classes.

Meanwhile, this policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful or appropriate to their age and the subject, or that teachers are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.

Most of the first-generation students were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.

Not surprisingly, up to half of all doctoral students in English drop out before getting their degrees.

Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum.

Rather than pulling students back, a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing them for independence, new responsibilities and environmental changes—all things that first-year students often struggle with the most.

since students and parents expect a college degree to lead a job, it is in the best interest of a school to turn out graduates who are as qualified as possible—or at least appear to be.

Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third.

Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not.

The use of this little-known practice has accelerated in recent years, as colleges continue to do their utmost to keep students in school and paying tuition and improve their graduation rates.

Their thesis 一 that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact 一 was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college st

This has created "a paradox" in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has "continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close" an achievement gap based on social class, according to th

This isn't surprising, considering the basic mandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of the vast academic possibilities that await them in college.

This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework.

Today, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year.
