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."

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."

Abstract
The paper discusses how recently, there has been a paradigm shift in education from teacher-centered to learner centered learning. The paper relates that according to Jonassen and Land (2000) many varied learning environments that are student focused have emerged and are providing student support in learning. The paper discusses how the trend towards using diverse teaching and learning designs indicates an interest in their importance in education (Jonassen & Land, 2000). The paper then shows how the student-centered learning epistemologies present opportunity for student motivation and engagement in education.

Abstract
The paper considers the allegation that universities engage in activities that may be exploitive to the student-athlete and shows how it is debatable. The paper explains that while colleges do use their sports departments as additional sources of revenue, the student-athletes are protected against exploitation by the rules of the NCAA. Furthermore, the paper discusses how the sports stars gain advantages that put them ahead of the game, making it unnecessary for the athletes to receive further preferential treatment.
From the Paper
"There is little that rivals the hyped fans and team sportsmanship of college athletics. The excitement and camaraderie that accompany the big game display a seemingly cohesive student body commonly committed to defending their school's title. But outside of the game, a different battle is fought over the issue of student-athlete exploitation, prompting a closer look into the true nature of college athletics. Across the nation, universities are making millions in profit from their sports departments. While the brand endorsements that lead to monetary gain may seem..."

Abstract
This paper examines the question as to whether teaching to the student's learning style increases his or her academic performance in the classroom. The paper then looks at three different concepts for teaching to the student.
From the Paper
"Research exists to support the view that when students' learning preferences match their instructor's teaching styles, student motivation and achievement usually improve. Of course, a student's preferred learning style may change due to time or circumstances and so teaching styles need to be a flexible, ongoing process. In addition, individual learning preferences should be integrated into the subject matter. It is more effective to design..."

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of how the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL), a standardized test, was transformed from an assessment tool for educators into a tool for measuring student success and failure. the paper further considers the WASL's implications for teaching.
From the Paper
"The transformation of assessment tools into high-stakes competency testing with reference to the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). The reason this topic is of interest is the shift in perception and usage of assessment tests. Typically and customarily assessment tools have been distinguished from evaluation tools i. e. standardized tests in educational literature. Assessment tests are rather carefully defined as informative aids for teachers so that they can use test results to calibrate their teaching methods and to identify student learning needs. Standardized..."
