What is Agenda?
Zernike quotes, “The Best U” meaning that where people go to college it’s what you make out of the experience. He asks rhetorical questions asking the readers how to make the most of it? Over ten years researchers interviewed students what they did on their spare time to their quality of teaching an advising. They also correlated the students’ academic and personal choices with their grades and how happy and intellectually engaged and many responses said that they are. Students who ask for help their grades tend to go up and those who does not their grades go downward, isolated, failed, and the feeling of feeling unhappy. The theory of don’t try to hid academic problems. Students who struggle they take nothing but a large introductory course that need to complete their degree. Why? It is to take it and get it out of their way. Study in groups doing homework is important, but really matters is doing it in a way that helps you understand the material, and the ones who study by themselves and then discussed it in a group and are engaging tend to learn a lot about their concept. Those who do not strive yet for a resume or a graduation application are the happiest people. Considering the time of when those who do the work use the word time and the ones who did not do the work do not use that word as well.
Ciarelli’s article talks about endless debates about higher education is it now focusing on the question of what is the purpose of it and how best to determine how well colleges and universities are achieving it. There are so many pros and cons for this debate. On side of the debate is either if the student shall go to add their individual reservoirs of information. Should they perform based like how they had scored on their placement test? I initially disagree on that, its multiple choice and there are lucky guessers. That might as well score high and not really know what their courses are about and they get confused and stressed since the class itself is hard. It is to discover the strengths and weakness that the student has when the results come out so they can place the student to a specific class. The other debate is about the ones who hold more of the traditional view of college as a place where students should appreciate their culture heritage, home their skills in critical thinking and communication, and otherwise transform themselves from self-centered individuals into decent and caring citizens. Saying that college should be more based of these principles than on the knowledge that is being conceived by the students from the lecture courses. From these two debates there are disadvantages that would make them less effective to improve on higher education. Students need to learn and teach themselves because as a teacher there are too much lectures and so little can be explained.
Electives are what is left for students to take after all of the requirement courses are done with and over with. There are different types of ways to look at them. 1. To explore the possible majors: a lot of students come in without knowing their major and they can use the elective hours to explore several possible major programs. It is to see if they have interest themselves. 2. To serve as a cushion: using the electives related to the 1. It allows you to move to one major to another without losing useful credits. It gives a change from one program to another without losing credits or prolonging the students’ degree work. 3. To develop a focus or cluster outside your major: using electives can build up your own concentration if the college does not provide dual or minor major. 4. To explore your career options: A general specific approach can help your personal characteristics such as your interests, abilities, values, and goals. I can help explore educational and occupational fields that might match your personal interest and strengths. 12. To learn study and time management skills: most two and four year colleges provide organize help for the students. Most of them gain better grades than just any average high school students. For most of the part you have to know and do well with time. 13. Leadership skills: this usually occurs with clubs, extracurricular experience in training for becoming a leader. These are the top advices out of the fourteen that I chose.
