Many students simply focus on receiving a degree and not so much the information you can get from the process of acquired a degree. Michael was no different, this is sadly very common. Many people focus more on remembering and having fun while in college; as a result, individuals tend to exclude learning.
Now that Michael is out of college it wishes that he had payed more attention in school. The reason being is that he realizes the value and the importance of the curriculum that he was suppose to learn, especially since he has a development job position. Therefore, he is forced to relearn certain things that he should have known to begin with. His advice is to us is to pay attention in class and actually learn. I personally think is great advice because a lot of things students are doing are memorizing and they don't exactly know the theory behind what he or she learning. Michael loves his job and plans to stay at ABC Pro Inc. However, it was not always that way. Michael did not have any experience once he went out in the real world which resulted in some casualties such as frustration. It can be quite hard to land a job with no experience, concluded that we must indeed try our best to find an internship of some sort and to keep applying and hope for the best. The more experience you have in your belt the better position you’ll be once graduation has come
Upon finishing his undergraduate’s degree, Michael worked several positions for a number of years before
In this passage, Augusten has finally made it into college and he is working in his first English class. This class is focusing only on the technical parts of the language and less on writing. Augusten would go on to be a published writer, which makes it all the more ironic that he is failing at midterm. This supports the idea that we shouldn’t try to force every person into one kind of instruction. Just because Augusten was failing English, that did not mean that he was incapable of learning, it simply meant that the class was not reaching him in the right way. I will learn to understand that not the same kind of therapy will work for every patient just like this teacher was teaching one way and he could not learn for his style of teaching. Making changes to my style of therapy will help me to gain trust and confidence from my patients and will reassure them that I and there for one thing and one thing only: to help
Student expect professors to teach them everything they need to know that relates to their future, otherwise it’s boring and useless, and they don’t care to learn about it. Or they need the material they are learning to be presented in a way that’s more appealing to them; but Gutting’s believes that professors shouldn’t have to make the material more interesting for the students, the students should want to learn about the subject and be interested in the material itself, without the professor having to make it interesting. Which brings me to my third point. As a result of these disengaged students, they only take time to study for what they need to pass the class, and not study to learn more and in depth about things. Which I think is kind of sad and true. I chose to go to college to help create my future, so I only study things that benefit towards my career in college, I don’t really branch out past what I need to know. Because why would I want to do extra work? We shouldn’t just be studying the material to help us pass the class we should be studying the material because we want to learn about it and know more about the subject, and it’s something that we find interesting. Another thing Gutting talked about was,

Art has been the reflection, interpretation and representation of artists' beliefs and morals eternally. Various artists stand for different matters that quite possibly affect their lives, or might be of an interest to them. Norval Morrisseau is an artist that I was intrigued by his portrayal and the techniques used in his paintings. In this paper, we are going to look at the implementation of Morrisseau's painting style used to expose his philosophies of different aspects in his life.
His intended audience were students who could relate to this, as well as faculty and administrators who have are stakeholders in the educational system. He connects his genre to the audience as a creative non-fiction that was originally part of his autobiography, as he recreates a personal story in order to interest his audience. All these factors link up with his overall purpose of this piece, to prove to his audience that the system now creates students that are made like a machine whose only function is to store information for a limited time then spit it back out. Kirn even describes himself as the, “system’s pure product, clever and adaptable, not so much educated as wised -up” (Kirn, 3). In this moment he basically acknowledges what he is just another part of an already rigged system, that only wants him to become a storage center. His education revolved around his motivation to receive a grade, “ I lived for prizes, praise, distinctions, and I gave no thought to any goal higher or broader than my next report card. learning was secondary; promotion was primary” (Kirn 2). He never really learned anything and didn't want to, simply aiming to gain a boost and appear to be
Essentially students were afraid that the professor would irrevocably confirm their academic inadequacy.” She was speaking upon professors who have an “I am better than everyone” attitude. Students feel as if they cannot reach out for help because they will feel unintelligent. Students fear they are not meeting with the teachers wants for turning in assignments and as if their work is not good enough, feeling almost too embarrassed to submit assignments. They feel looked down upon by professors and are scared to speak up or ask questions about assignments. So instead they fall between the cracks and struggle their way through college. I was able to relate to that statement because there have been moments in college where I have had a fear to ask a teacher questions. A fear that they will tell me “I explained that topic in class already.” or “Were you not paying attention during the lecture?” I have heard teachers answer students with those exact words therefore I never wanted to ask questions about anything if I really did not understand the material. That alone can make a student feel as if they do not want to be a bother to the professor. A students own fear is what continuously inhibits them from college

...s that you develop a way of regarding the information that you receive to the society that you are living in. He also believes that a quality education develops a students moral views and ability to think. And that these qualities are best developed in the traditional classroom setting by interaction between the student and their professors, and the student’s social life on campus, that is, their interaction with fellow students.
Peter Alexander was born in 1965 in Melbourne, Australia. He attended school at Mount Scopus Memorial College and was voted as the least likely to succeed by schoolmates. Alexander's teacher suggested he leave and go to TAFE but he was stubborn and decided to stay at school and successfully completed Year 12. Nowadays, Alexander states that the confidence and self-belief was derived from his school life and he was able to set high goals and achieve them independently. He wishes that he’d done a business course before starting his own business to jump start the benefits and profits in the sleepwear business.
He believes that you need to have persistence in order for you to gain success. Also, you must be willing to put in a lot of time, for a question that might take a person a minute to solve. Some advantages for students who have more learning time in school are most likely to be more successful in the future and learn more in general. These advantages would really teach a student responsibility and how to use their knowledge in real-world applications. People who receive more learning time are also more likely to succeed in college and have information stuck to their brain for a longer period of time.
The reason why he says that is because most often having a teacher not take a lot of interest in what they are teaching or not having the inspiration in wanting to get students excited for learning. What he means by this is that the education system is not letting students discover what they enjoy doing and instead focusing on the important subjects such as math, English and science to name a few.
Because of his successful life, Steve Jobs was invited to give the commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005. However, Jobs did not graduate higher education. In addition, he quite Reed Collage because the college did not suitable for his perspective of his life, and he also lacked tuition expenses for study (news.rapgenius.com.) Jobs is just an example of people who did not graduate from college. In the real world, people have many reasons why they drop out from school. Students leave school, even thought they do not graduate from schools because of financial aids, students’ interested, and crime.
education is life itself." This philosophy truly emphasizes the importance of education in one's life, and that they are indeed interrelated, not separated. I believe he was expressing, in part, the notion that education should serve us throughout our lives, constantly empowering us to achieve our greatest potential through self-realization. Learning, is a life-long process, by which we are all constantly searching for meaning through reflecting on our experiences to make sense of, and better understand the world in which we live in. I am humble enough to say that I too remain a student, not just in the literal sense, but in life. As teachers, I believe it is our responsibility to provide an educational experience that motivates our students to discover their own hidden potentials and to hopefully achieve self-realization. This is especially important for young children, for it is with the combination of their innate learning ability and the influence of great educators that can account for their marvelous capacity of potential.
