Abstract
In this paper, the writer shows that the problems that weigh against students loans is greatly outdone by the positive affects of allowing an unfortunate student to attend college. The writer discusses that financial aid, in this manner, is by far the most important aspect of allowing a student to better him or herself, through a no money down student loan to pay for tuition and other costs. The writer notes that a student may be left with a large debt after college, due to failure to finish or succeed at their education. The writer concludes that in this manner, a student loan is a form of financial aid that allows poor or monetarily troubled students to gain the same education.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"This argumentative essay persuades the reader to realize how financial aid for students is a positive and supportive financial solution to attend college. In this regard, the student who is unable to afford college tuition can get a student loan, which allows them to gain the education they need for a good job. Although, the debt from loans can be burdensome after college in some cases, the ability through an education to find a job nullifies the inability to the debt accrued."

Student Unit Record, 2007.
A look at the potential violation of student privacy of the student unit record system.

Abstract
This paper examines how a student unit record system was introduced to help keep track of work in progress for students who transfer in and out of colleges in the United States. It also looks at how such a system raises concerns about privacy because a great deal of sensitive information used in the system, such as social security numbers, might be used for other purposes. The paper looks at the pros and cons of the student unit record system and concludes by arguing that the right of privacy is less important than the benefits obtained by this educational reform.
From the Paper
"As noted, state colleges perceive an obvious advantage to enable record tracking for college students. Especially for students who transfer out of state, the proposed federal system is capable of updating transfer students' motion of higher education pursuit. Grover J. "Russ" Whitehurst, the director of the Education Department's Institute of Education Sciences, which in March 2005 did a feasibility study on the plan, says the data collected would also help institutions compare themselves with one another, and help parents and students make better decisions when picking a college. He points out that 40 percent of students currently do not finish at the same institution in which they first enrolled."

Abstract
This research paper provides a guide for students entering college, students already in college, and students who are to soon graduate from college that will inform these individuals of the environment of the mortgage industry. The paper specifically examines the impacts of students loans and the job market upon the home buying outlook for individuals once they have graduated from a college or university. The paper demonstrates that the outlook for students attending colleges under today's provisions of financial aid and student loan programs will create a great burden of debt for these students. It also demonstrates that colleges have overcharged students at exorbitant rates and that the driver for this was the federally guaranteed student loan program.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The work of Franke-Ruta has informed this study that the student who leaves college with a monstrous student loan payment debt that are in fact 'mortgage size' student loan debts. Today's graduates, are stated by Franke-Ruta that while these individuals might have initially started with their eye to the future the graduates of today and grant-based student aid has been pushed out by loan-based student funding. Increasingly rising debts on credit cards among college students is resulting in these student graduating with the highest levels of credit cared and loan debt among those attending four-year colleges and from low-income families."

Student Tracking, 2002.
This paper argues against student tracking that sorts and separates students according to their learning ability.
820 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 2 sources, $ 29.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses several reasons given for the abolition of student tracking: Widens the gap between advantages and disadvantaged students, separates students by race and class and an inclusive classroom where every student learns from each other is better for students, socially and academically. The author points out that student tracking widens the gap between the higher and lower ability students because of a poorer curriculum.
From the Paper
"...These are the factors of an inclusive classroom. In this environment, students learn to work with each other and recognize each other?s differences. This is beneficial as a social skill that will be required in real life. At the same time, working with different people challenges individuals academically. Each student has various skills and these are different from those of others. Separating students based on ?advanced? or ?not advanced? fails to recognize the range of skills and abilities that could be present."

Student Portfolio Assessment: K-2, 2006.
A look at why the student portfolio can be of great benefit in the student assessment process.

Abstract
The use of portfolios during the assessment process can be of benefit to both student and teacher alike. Portfolios can be used to centralize student work products, allowing the teacher to better evaluate the student's progress over the semester, the year, or even over the student's educational career. In addition, because each student portfolio contains similar work, it is relatively easy to assess if individual students, or if the entire class, achieve certain benchmarks during the portfolio period. This paper examines the process of organizing student portfolios and setting goals and benchmarks for these portfolios. The paper also discusses the assessment process using student portfolios.

Student Code of Conduct, 2008.
A discussion about university student codes of conduct and whether students comply with these codes.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the student code of conduct on university campuses and looks at how this code is not always respected or upheld by the students attending the universities. The paper then goes on to elaborate on how students do not always comply with the student code of conduct and concludes that a student code of conduct is not enough to ensure proper behavior and conduct on campus. Instead, universities should seek alternative actions to enforce and uphold polices that will ensure that the students are enriched through a "safe" and positive academic experience.
From the Paper
" Another act of violence that is occurring on college campuses is hazing. "Hazing" includes activities such as being kidnapped, abandoned, excessive drinking, sexual acts, assault, and in some circumstances, even death. Hazing continues to be prevalent amongst college students as a form of "initiation" or "admission". Students believe that hazing promotes unity and team cohesiveness. The reality about hazing is that it usually goes on under a blanket of sworn secrecy (Campo, Paulos, Sipple, 2005); which makes this problem one that should not be tolerated. A zero tolerance rule should also be adopted for any violent acts on campus. Campo and her colleagues (2005), describe hazing as any activity that is a "condition of initiation" in an organization that may have a negative impact on the physical and/or emotional well-being of individuals and/or their peers. Hazing has been practiced for years; most commonly identified to athletes, fraternities and sororities."

Effect of Studying on Students? Grades, 2005.
Argues that students who study will have higher grades than students who don't.

Abstract
The advent of companies like Sylvan and Kumon learning centers have advanced the idea that grades are not important. With colleges and universities becoming more and more competitive as far as their entry requirements, it is not possible for the average student who wishes to succeed and get into the career of their choice, to simply ride along and hope for the best. The paper shows that on top of the requirement for students to have extra-curricular activities and community involvement, SAT scores and excellent grades are essential for the motivated student to even hope to be accepted to the college of their choice. But what can the average student do to improve his or her grades. Is it necessary for these students to attend learning centers like Sylvan and Kumon? Or can a student, with the sufficient amount of study time, attain the grades he or she needs to succeed? This paper argues that students who spend more time studying will have higher grades than those students who spend only moderate or little amounts of time studying.

"It would appear from this simple study that the students who spend the most time in study have the most impressive GPAs. There does not appear, in the study anyway, to be an association of improved grades based on whether the student studies in a group or on an individual basis, although this may be a good subject for further study. From the review of the literature it would appear that more important than hours spent in study is the issue that the students have adequate study skills and be able to use the study hours they do have as efficiently and effectively as possible."

Abstract
This paper examines the responsibility of educators to provide gifted students with special attention. However, the author also states that all students should be provided the opportunity to be educated in a community where their talents and potential can be recognized and nurtured. The paper provides research-based considerations which support an educational philosophy that fosters the innate curiosity of not only gifted middle-school science students but all students. The author contends that these considerations on the part of the teacher will help enable and inspire students to organize content knowledge, make observations, evaluate evidence, think critically, solve problems, apply knowledge within multiple contexts, work as team members and clearly communicate ideas.

From the Paper
"As future doctors, geneticists, geologists, meteorologists, ecologists, and astronomers, young science students have the potential to improve their lives and gain personal satisfaction from a clear understanding of natural phenomena and its magnificence. Even those students who do not pursue scientific professions are in a position to make a great global difference by applying their scientific knowledge to voting practices and decisions as consumers. Therefore, science instructors should be responsible for ensuring that students gain a sufficient understanding of science necessary to make responsible decisions as voters and consumers and ultimately support innovative and analytical thought related to discovery. With this, it is the responsibility of teachers to recognize and address the talent that exists in their classrooms and to ensure that instruction fosters in students a desire to continue to learn and contribute to the world of science."

Abstract
This paper presents a proposal for improved student transportation at Rutgers University, using it as an example to present the necessity and advantage of low cost student transportation.
From the paper:
"Rutgers University is one of the largest state universities in the country. It boasts an enrollment of over 48, 000 students collectively over the expanse of its three campuses. (Rutgers University Website) There are many benefits of being a student at such an expansive and diverse institution. There are also many detriments as well. It would be an understatement of almost unsurpassed irony to note that many Rutgers students own cars. Rutgers, being a state institution, has many individuals within driving distance to its campus. All of the campuses are for the most part, urban institutions. Thus parking is an enormous problem for both students and faculty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that a review of existing literature indicates that students' perceptions about assessment have many influences on students' approaches to learning. In addition, the writer points out that there are many elements that influence how students perceive assessment. This study reveals that students hold strong views about various formats and methods of assessment. For example, the writer shows that within traditional assessment, multiple-choice exams are seen by many students as favorable assessment methods in comparison to essay questions. However, when conventional assessment and alternative assessment methods are compared, students perceive alternative assessment methods as more 'fair' than the traditional assessment methods. This paper discusses how students view assessment and presents a series of recommendations for improving traditional assessment.

"Unfortunately, few studies have been conducted on the perceptions of the assessments that are given to students, with the exception of those done from the perspective of the teachers. It is important to look at this issue from the point of view of the students since they are the ones who are assessed and judged. It is also important that students have a clear understanding of why they feel the way they do and why they are judged in a particular way. By learning more about the students' perceptions of assessment, teachers can learn more about student perceptions of other aspects of their educational experience. This type of study is especially beneficial because it helps educators examine assessment in a new light."

Abstract
This paper looks at how commerce on the Internet is conducted almost entirely with credit cards or with Internet accounts established with credit cards and how, for many, particularly young people for whom cash has never been a necessity, it is easy to give in to the urge for instant gratification, even when there are no funds available to support this gratification. It shows how, in particular, college students may fall victim to this trap, since they may not see a credit card purchase as spending with ?real money, they have little or no experience with credit cards or loans, and they are new to living independently from parents who have advised them not to buy things in the past. It examines the how, increasingly, student debt upon graduation is a crippling burden upon the student. It explores how the potential solution is to educate college students how to use their credit cards wisely and how to structure student loans and career plans with an eye toward the future, both of which can be accomplished by attending personal finance classes and by beginning with smaller credit card lines.
From the Paper
"The problem of student debt is twofold, and therefore, managing student debt should employ a double-barreled approach. Credit card/consumer debt is only one facet of the student debt issue, but students need to be able to distinguish between their necessary federally-funded student loan debt and their self-imposed credit card debt. In recent years, it has become common practice for credit card vendors to set up shop on college and university campuses, usually near the school bookstore (Fisher). Once established on campus, credit card companies attempt to lure students into signing up for credit cards by offering free incentives such as tee shirts or water bottles (Fisher). It is all too easy for students to succumb to the temptation for and the ease of obtaining credit cards when these credit lines are pushed so forcefully toward the often na?ve college student cohort."

Abstract
The paper states that the face of the American educational system has been changing dramatically over the past several decades. Since the inception of standardized education in the US, the fabric of society itself has undergone dramatic changes. The paper continues by detailing that the educational system continues to promote the paradigms that prevailed since the system's very beginning. The paper reports that it can be argued that the system is in need of some dramatic changes if we are to compete in a world where globalization means coping with increasing competition. The paper explores teacher centered and student centered philosophies and expresses the opinion that that student centered philosophies benefit the student more than teacher centered philosophies.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are also those that feel standardized testing leads to higher drop out rates among minorities due to social and cultural inequalities in the tests . They also feel that standardized tests lead to higher levels of cheating and a narrower curriculum than student centered philosophies . Standardized test create pressure as students and teachers allow the tests to become the primary force in their lives and the curriculum. Students depend on the tests to graduate and the pressure to pass can be devastating. Standardized testing narrows the curriculum as it becomes necessary to focus on the achievement of high scores on the exams. This can result in a reduction in learning in all areas of the curriculum. Essentialism provides few opportunities to adjust the curriculum or to adjust the methods of teaching to the needs of the child. Essentialism is based on unchangeable methods and rigid formats. Essentialism can be called antiquated in the age of the computer. This is because essentialism begins with the learning of facts. However, with the ease of data transfer now available, it is no longer necessary to carry all of the information in one's head. The emphasis has transformed from learning facts to knowing how to use the information that is at one's fingertips."

Abstract
The paper discusses how many high school graduates cannot afford to go to college, but most high school students are eligible to obtain Federal Student Loans and are able to attend college to obtain a degree that will increase their ability to obtain better employment. The paper examines how many parents who live in poverty are not able to send their children to college. The paper describes how student loans are a form of financial aid that allows poor or monetarily troubled students to gain the same education as those who can afford college have.
From the Paper
""Persons with lower levels of educational attainment were more likely to be unemployed than those who had higher levels of educational attainment" (Digest of Education 2006). However, many high school students are eligible to obtain Federal Student Loans and are able to attend college to obtain a degree that will increase theirs ability to obtain better employment. "Of the 2.8 million youth who graduated from high school between October 2003 and October 2004, 1.8 million (66.7 percent) were attending college in October 2004" (College Enrollment and Work Activity 2006)."

Abstract
This paper presents a study conducted by the Center of Adolescent Studies that looked at "caring teachers" by interviewing sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. The author reports students defined a ?caring teacher? as a teacher who listens and helps them with personal problems and as a teacher who helps with homework, gives students individual attention, sets goals for students and talks to students about their behavior. The paper concludes that students learn better with a ?caring teacher? and develop skills that allow them to continue to learn effectively once they are out of the classroom.

From the Paper
"The focus is on how the student can be helped. This is also important as it shows how the student is able to avoid ridicule and embarrassment. This would be important in maintaining a students interest and self-esteem. The fourth response shows us how caring teachers are attentive to their students, which is important in making the student feel they are supported and noticed. The fourth response shows how a caring teacher also provides encouragement and praises students for good work. The final response shows how being caring actually creates a better environment where learning is interesting to students."
