Psychosocial factors, such as depression, anxiety and social support, also induce drinking. This study confirmed that social cognitive factors drove college students to report on their own drinking. Psychosocial motives drove them to do so only at 1%. Social support was the only significant psychosocial predictor. The awareness of both the positive and negative consequences of drinking was quite likely behind the willingness of college students to report on their own drinking. This implied that drinking was a deliberate and conscious decision on their part. Heavy drinkers viewed their drinking as something negative in that they perceived themselves as having reduced control over it. Peer norms were also found to be an important predictor of drinking as a perceived norm and behavior, which supports drinking. Parental drinking norms also surfaced, although not as strong as the preceding predictors (Kuther & Temoshin).

The student development theory is a body of the educational scholarship and psychology that demonstrates the strategy higher educational students gain knowledge. The theory also guides students in their educational affairs. College students are categories as students in the higher education especially in the formal setting such as colleges, universities, polytechnic and other institutions of higher learning. On the other hand, development is defined as a "process of increasing complex." (Patton, et al. 2016 p 5). With reference to the students' affair, the theory is a useful tool in answering the cogent question that students might encounter in their day-to-day academic affairs. Thus, student development theory focuses on student development, and method of achieving success in the institution of higher learning. In essence, the student development theory reveals how students of higher education grow academically within the campus environment.
The objective of this study is to illustrate the strategy and method…...

The college atmosphere plays an integral role in the social development of students. As per the college student development theory (CSDT), college significantly contributes to students' academic, cognitive, social, psychological, as well as spiritual and moral development (Patton et al., 2016). Indeed, CSDT provides student affairs practitioners with a solid foundation for practice. More specifically, given the widespread prevalence of development-related issues in colleges, such as attrition, violence, suicide, and drug abuse, CSDT to a large extent guides and informs the work of community college counsellors. In this essay, I illustrate my personal knowledge, skills, and dispositions regarding my role as an outreach community college counsellor. I also compare and contrast CSDT and practice. I particularly pay attention to key developmental moments in my undergraduate education, the connection between these moments and CSDT, as well as my current comfort level in terms of applying CSDT to students.

General Resources

There are many resources and writing style guides you can use when writing your paper. The three most common style guides used for writing papers are provided below.

The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers -- This guide written by Joseph Gibaldi, outlines the proper style for writing research papers (Bedford, 2003). It includes detailed information about citing parenthetical citations within the text and at the end of the paper. This guide is used primarily by writers in the following fields: literature, language, arts and the humanities. Why invest in this guide? You'll find valuable information about the purpose of your research and suggestions for selecting and refining your topic, researching your paper and composing a paper.

APA -- The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2001) is another style guide that provides information and insight to writers who are primarily in the social sciences fields (Bedford, 2003). You can use this style guide to help you prepare papers that are scholarly or other manuscripts. Like the MLA handbook, the APA style guide will offer detailed instructions about citing references, organizing, citing references and writing your paper.

Motivation for Students
The duties and responsibilities of today's instructors in college and university environments go beyond simply presenting material to students. Alert, worthy instructors also understand they need to make sure students succeed, and one component of that effort is to motivate students, to build a fire under them that burns brightly during the learning process. Thesis: Many students today care about grades and a degree; they lack enthusiasm for the learning process. Hence responsibility falls on the shoulders of faculty to employ strategies to motivate students and prepare them for a world in which they cannot cruise through.

Your Persona

Deliver presentations to students with energy / enthusiasm

Make good eye contact -- let students know you're aware of them

Do not stand in front of the class constantly -- move around

Show passion for the material you are presenting

Vary your voice so it does not become monotone

Your course

Explain how the course you are…...

This is due to the fact that as a college student I lack basic knowledge that can be of assistance during my stay in college.

Obesity and the College Student
Obesity

Grade Course

Waking up in the morning realizing that there is already little time left for the class is nothing new for a college student. As a result, grabbing a donut along with a cup of coffee is the only option left. eaching college and studying for consecutive hours make the student actually get hold of something fast, affordable and filling. The cafeteria is full of options and huge servings which would tempt any passer buyer. Fast food is to the rescue. Once the day at college is over, the student is already too exhausted to take a step ahead. At this moment, it is the candy bar from the vending machine which would probably energize him. At this time, he is unaware of the consequences that the future awaits due to his unhealthy lifestyle. In such circumstances when practicing similar unhealthy routines with depending on high…...

The article has three main hypotheses. The first two are based on prior research and the research aimed at supporting the findings of the previous researchers. The first hypothesis was stress in college students is negatively correlated to overall life satisfaction. The second hypothesis was that there would be a positive correlation between life satisfaction and emotional intelligence. The third hypothesis was that life satisfaction would be predicted by interaction of emotional intelligence and stress, in that if stress were high and emotional intelligence low, the life satisfaction of the student would be low. It is predicted that when emotional intelligence is high and stress is low, life satisfaction would be highest (Holinka, 2015, p. 304).
The variables of the study were life satisfaction, stress levels, and emotional intelligence amongst college students. The researchers aimed to study the effect and correlation between the stress levels of students in an attempt to…...

freshmen college student New York, U.S. I taking Introduce Theater semester. There an assignment write a review a broadway play, 'Peter Starcatcher'. However, I missed show. But I write a review, .
Who ever thought Peter Pan is for children and children alone, who ever thought the doors of The Never Land close before any grownup would ever have a chance to peak inside, will find, with ?Peter and the Starcatcher? that such a belief is the hastiest and that Broadway has been more than willing to grant access to the everlasting story of Peter Pan frequently and to anyone. Indeed, this innovative play, with a modern pertinence and a humorous addiction, will entail one's imagination and will bequeath one's memory by having him or her reproducing the lines instantaneously and repeatedly.

The storyline is quite simple actually and anyone intent on seeing the play knows at least vaguely what ?Peter…...

Anxiety and Learning Anxiety impacts roughly 18% of the population in one form or another. It is particularly troubling for students in higher academics. This study aims to investigate the question: What factors outside of the classroom increase anxiety in academic performance? This paper will provide an overview of anxiety, discuss how college students are affected by it, examine the factors that cause it, and look at how parents and educators can help those who suffer from it.
What is Anxiety?
There are many different types of anxiety, but generally put anxiety refers to nervousness and a feeling of being overwhelmed by stress about something related to one’s life. There is social anxiety, panic disorder, fears and phobias, separation anxiety, and general anxiety disorder, which refers to a chronic case of anxiety that simply will not go away. The characteristics of anxiety include a feeling of apprehension, tension, restlessness, jumpiness, and negative thoughts—i.e.,…...

Self-Centered College Students
Countless children are told by their parents, relatives, or guardians that they are "special" on a regular basis. Parents and guardians tell children they are "special" to help instill a sense of individuality. Parents try to convey to their children that they are not only unique, but capable of being anyone and doing anything; their child can accomplish anything they can imagine because they are "special." For some parents, telling children they are special can be an expression of love and affection. For the children, however, hearing that they are special on a consistent level leads children to believe they are better than others, more deserving, become egocentric, and can be left with a strong sense of entitlement. As children grow older and begin to enter adulthood, these young adults may have feelings of entitlement and be highly self-centered. Both entitlement and egocentricity are personality traits that cannot…...

Community Colleges in America
In 1983 and 1984, a dozen major reports on the United States' schools were published. All stressed the need for "excellence" in education. These reports are the subject of: Excellence in Education: Perspectives on Policy and Practice. The reports pertaining to higher education were published by The BusinessHigher Education Forum, and saw higher education as "unable to train skilled managers and technicians that they believed industry needed." (Altbach 32) These reports essentially claim that student achievement has declined at technical schools because schools "do not demand enough of their students, do not apply stiff criteria for promotion, do not test students enough, and particularly in high school, provide students with too many choices about what subjects they study." (Altbach 32) These reports are somewhat dated in that they compare American students with Japanese students and focus on technical proficiency vs. The intuitive grasp of problems and methodologies…...

One, in particular, Edison State College, in Florida, is a two-year college that has an outstanding curriculum, and highly qualified staff. The college cooperates with a number of four-year colleges, affording students the opportunity to complete baccalaureate degrees in some majors while taking classes at Edison State. Many of the colleges are impressive, like the University of Florida, Florida State University, Nova Southeastern University, and others. These partner colleges and universities are all accredited, and have rules of performance and grade averages that students must meet and maintain in order to be accepted into those institutions. This, too, would suggest that Cohen and Brawer are flawed in their assessment of students who choose to attend two-year colleges.

difficult for today's college students to imagine, but a generation ago, writing an undergraduate research paper involved at least one prolonged visit to a bricks-and-mortar library. The student would consult the printed tome titled Guide to Periodicals and follow up with a search of periodical backfiles. It was often a tedious and time-consuming way to work, and it could be frustrating if the journals needed were not part of the library's collection.
Fast forward to 2011, when students enjoy not only the use of online library resources but online institutions of learning as well. This generation of college students is computer-savvy, important to a population that is often busy juggling obligations at school, home and the workplace. It is important to find reliable information fast so that assignments can be completed in a timely manner and allowing students to work anytime and anywhere. Wikipedia is a resource that provides that…...

Thesis Statement

The funding models employed by private and public colleges in the United States have significant implications for the educational experiences and opportunities available to students. While private colleges often rely heavily on tuition revenue and endowments, public colleges receive substantial government support, leading to variations in costs, financial aid availability, and institutional priorities.

Introduction

Higher education is a pivotal investment in an individual's future and the broader societal fabric. The choice between attending a private or public college is a multifaceted one, often influenced by factors such as cost, academic reputation, and location. However, underlying these considerations is the crucial issue....
