The book They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing by Gerald Graff and
Cathy Birkenstein I feel like was helpful in many ways. Paragraph Eight I found very helpful
because it teaches you how to connect your sentences. When you are going from one point to
another it is very important to relate and connect your topics so it reads smoothly and the reader
doesn't get lost. In this chapter it also gives examples of transitions. Transitions help the reader know
that there are new points or topics coming up in the writing. There are different transition word
categories such as addition, elaboration, example, cause and effect. Ect. In these categories are words
that help one transition their thoughts such as also, actually, in other words, and so on....show more

I also feel as if chapter Seven is important because if you do not tell the reader why this information
matters and who cares there is no point. Writers should not assume that the readers will know and
understand the points you are trying to make. Chapter seven has many templates on how to explain
who cares and why your claims matter to them. For an example, a template that you could use for
telling the readers who cares "At First glance, teenagers might say _________ . But on the closer
inspection ______." When student uses these templates within their work they do not forget to
explain why these things matter. Using Graff and Birkensteins methods in writing can help one's
writing go smoother and can also make the writing process

Academic Success Essay
Academic success could never be fully measured by degrees alone, but it can include a person's
well–being as well as their mind and certain characteristics about a person that make them unique.
This success can be achieved in different ways by these different people with different strengths, but
there is the same ultimate goal in sight of each and every student enrolled in college at some point.
However, this goal of being successful in not only school but in life, can sometimes turn out to be
the opposite of how we plan. Of course, a student can achieve success by earning degrees and still
fail in life. Academic success can also be a huge constituent to a students vocational calling in college

for me, these talents are represented through my top five strengths that were given to me from a
test I took. Two of my signature strengths that I think best fit me and are the ones that will help
me be successful are Competition and Analytical. Competition by definition is when someone
measures their progress against the performance of others, they also strive to win first place and
revel in contests. Growing up playing competitive sports at a young age is what I believe led me
to be in the competitor I am now. I think my Competition strength not only best describes me but,
it may also be my best feature that I can tie into to my daily life to reach success and the goals I
have set forth. Being competitive got me where I am today. I've be running for nearly my whole
life, this year makes 11 years that I have been running track and cross country and it has truly paid
off for me in the biggest ways. I think that having the competitive nature will always help down
the line in life. When having the competitive nature my talent is valuable because it will influence
and even push people in a group to achieve more than others. I will also bring energy to a group
and will be capable of energizing others to move to higher levels of excellence. Also, being
competitive also gives me capability of adaptation go different obstacles of life. It often applies to
the class room such as seeking out highly competitive people and study with them. You will know
that you will push each other to learn more, faster. Because of hardships and challenges I have

Writing an Academic Essay
Academic writing is different from other forms of writing; it is distinctive, clear and concise. This
essay will describe the factors that contribute to the credibility of an academic piece of writing, and
incorporating them effectively into your own writing. In this essay I will further discuss the
following three features to enrich credible academic writing; planning and drafting, critical writing
and referencing and plagiarism. With an abundant quantity of literature available, it is important to
understand the factors that contribute to the credibility of an academic piece of writing. With the

You cannot expect all material that you turn up to be as reliable as peer–reviewed journal articles
and official publications. As (Turabian, 2007) suggests, you will probably find more sources than
you can use, so you must evaluate their usefulness by skimming quickly for two criteria: relevance
and reliability. A peer–reviewed source is considered to be a reliable source, as they must endure a
thorough review process, with many professional reviewers involved. Peer–review maintains
standards and ensures reporting is truthful and as accurate as possible (Hames, 2007).
Peer–reviewers examine the accuracy of factual information, and respond with questions and
critique of any conclusion made. The reviewers may disagree with the writer or they may agree
that they are a professional in the field. The source is further credible if a person with a university
degree or other credentials within the field has written it. Having the aptitude to critically source
credible sources permits for the effective planning and drafting of your writing. Planning and
drafting academic assessments is a crucial aspect in effective academic writing and educational
success. The key to successful writing is strong planning, research skills and drafting capability.

Reflection On Academic Reading
Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. I am a tuned–in Reader, and I appreciate well written
biographies. Enjoyable reading takes my mind off school work and relaxes me. I enjoy academic
reading as well, but sometimes it is intense and requires much concentration. Moreover, I am a
tuned in reader when it comes to academic subject's such as; psychology, nutrition, health and
history. Every spare moment I have; I pick up a book or magazine, and get carried away, by the
text. I visualize the story and its' characters as if, the story is taking place right next to me.
Furthermore, I predict the outcomes of the stories and pose questions in my mind about the
characters. I enjoy reading biographies about famous people like Charles Dickens and Anne
Frank. Additionally, I enjoy reading short stories and magazines such as; Binah, Ami, and
Mishpachah. I am fascinated by the astounding articles in the Ami. For example, the article about
a "Journey to North Korea", makes me feel as if I had experienced it myself. Academic reading
gives me a sense of accomplishment and joy. Generally, I am a tuned in reader, when it comes to
reading information. When I am reading, I analyze and visualize the ideas of the passage. When I
stop and think of what I am reading, it enhances my level of comprehension. My appreciation is also
increased, to understand and learn new information. Furthermore, I enjoy taking my academic
reading to a different level, by discussing and asking questions to my

The Importance Of Academics
Academics 3.1 Importance of Academics Education is the most powerful weapon which you can
use to change the world. It is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare

Adults who are academically successful and with high levels of education are more likely to be
employed, have stable employment, have more employment opportunities than those with less
education and earn higher salaries, are more likely to have health insurance, are less dependent on
social assistance, are less likely to engage in criminal activity, are more active as citizens and
charitable volunteers and are healthier and happier. Academics are important because working
people will need higher levels of education to tackle the technologically demanding occupations of
the future. 3.2 Various disciplines offered at BITS Goa 1) For B.E. we have the following courses

Interdisciplinary Approach Confusion
Mathematics, science, history, the arts – these are all subjects most people, including myself, have
taken at least once in their lives. Usually, these areas of study do not overlap, except for perhaps a
few real–life applications of mathematical formulas in the sciences, or when looking at the
background of a certain artist to determine the context of a painting or other piece of art. Overall,
however, these disciplines usually remain within themselves. This both agrees and disagrees with
the following claim that will be discussed: "The fields of study of academic disciplines can
overlap, but adopting interdisciplinary approaches to the production of knowledge leads only to
confusion." Firstly, the prompt offers a false dichotomy logical fallacy that is not true, saying
that interdisciplinary approaches will lead solely to confusion, so using interdisciplinary
approaches is the only way to avoid this confusion. Thus, the knowledge question that can be
developed from this prompt and that will be answered is: To what extent does adopting
interdisciplinary approaches lead to confusion in the production of knowledge? Prior to stating
the thesis of this essay, it is necessary to provide definitions of certain words in this prompt. For
the purposes of this assignment, fields of study are topics that a discipline covers. The word
"discipline" in the term academic disciplines refers to a field or an area of study. Meanwhile, an
interdisciplinary approach can be defined as the

Academic Goals And Career Goals
My academic goals are to learn skills that I will need in the workforce to achieve my career goals.
Being a successful student academically has always been important to me, from high school
through all four years of college. I hope to have a substantial foundation of knowledge and
experiences from the classroom that will transition over into my future career. Before my
professional career begins, I will work hard to attain my CPA by retaining my classroom education.
Furthermore, the enhanced knowledge I will gain from a Master of Accounting from Iowa State will
better my chances at achieving my goal of passing the CPA exam.
My career goals include working at a public accounting firm to gain experience of the field while
working towards receiving my CPA. After a few years, Iwant to work my way up in the company
and eventually become a partner. Or, if I decide to go private working for a company, I would
like to become a CFO. Whichever path I choose, the most important consideration for me as I start
my professional career is not a specific job title in accounting, but rather the chance to work for a
company that promotes a positive work culture and provides an opportunity for professional
growth. In addition, I want to wish to work for a company that shares much of the same values as
me and is enjoyable to work for.

Student Motivation And Academic Success
There are a number of factors that can contribute to the academic success of a student in college –
motivation, learning preferences/styles, socioeconomic status, whether or not the student is a first
generation college student, gender, and even race. With so many factors potentially contributing or
hindering a student's academic success in college; it is important for teachers to attempt to connect
with students in the classroom. Adjusting instructional methods that focus on students' learning
preferences/styles can increase student motivation and can lead to academic success. Studies have
been conducted to determine if teaching methods, learning preferences/styles and motivation can
predict academic success in college. Some of the challenges facing educators in college classrooms
across the nation include: how to make valuable connection with students, understanding students'
learning preferences/styles, motivating students and promoting student academic success. When
effective instructional methods are used in correlation with focusing on students' learning
preferences/styles and incorporating current technology – student motivation and academic success
increases. Understanding the purpose of motivation in the classroom, the different learning
preferences/styles of the students, how to incorporate new instructional methods and using current
technology can ultimately lead to positive student outcomes such as increased academic motivation
and success. Keywords:

students have any formal training in this area. Study skills where it is known that large proportion
of students entering in college have not had much in the way of useful instruction or assistance
with specific study methods. Social distractions like love and friendship are the most important
thing in the lives of a college student. For which they find difficulties in the needed balance
between socializing and studying. Another is learning disabilities like the disorders which are
currently understood to be primarily neurological in origin that are frequently undiagnosed and
treated which can be academically devastating. Substance abuse, it is known that the college years
are those where alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse begin and become serious
problems. Some of these students are actually treating themselves chemically for a psychological
problem that they may or may not be aware of. Lastly, the psychological issues, many of the college

Ever since I was young, my parents instilled the idea within me that academic success is very
important. I'm the first generation in my family to go to college, so obviously, they did well
enough to guide me into wanting to do well enough in high school to have the grades to get into
NJIT. But academic success is a lot more than merely getting good grades– it's also about the role it
plays in advancing in my future. Not to mention, there will be plenty of obstacles along the way,
but there will be things I will have to do in order to ensure my academic success in my future here

Overcoming hurdles in academic life is something that everyone, whether in middle school, high
school, or college, will have to do. In my case, when I got my schedule, I was at first quite irritated
to see I had three hours in between classes twice a week, being that it is such a long break, and I
could fit two classes into that time span. But I realized soon after, I could use my breaks between
classes for studying or doing homework. And when I start something during class or during a
break, more likely, and don't get to finish, when I get home, taking that extra half an hour after I
get home to finish it before taking a break really does pay off, especially when I now it's only due
in five days, and I have other homework I can do in the meantime, and I don't have to worry about
that assignment anymore. Procrastination got the best of me in middle school, and in the first half
of high school, but now, I usually don't let it get me. In short, academic life and success is more than
just your grades– it's the way you let the way you do in school and your intellect mold your future,
being that you guide it in the right direction. Obstacles will be present in the process, but you have
to hop over them, making sure that if you trip, you get up again, because it will be hard to keep

My Experience With Academic Writing
My experience with my academic writing it comes from the past years in different classes, that I
have taken here in Texas Tech University. I have taken some couple classes in the science
department, a law class. In my law class I had to write an academic paper, explain the different
types a law that will apply in a wind energy industry. This academicwriting was done in the law
class, but that was different from English class. The writing in the science class was little bit like
the writing that was done in English 1301 at South Plains. My experience in the class was to
compare and summaries article that was chosen by the professor. In this class, it helps me to
improve my writing skills little bit more that my high school English. One of my weaknesses in
writing is my grammar, that I will go in depth by going to the writing center and other helpful
resources. In 1302 I will learn more in depth how to write a research paper, so that I can go more
in depth on my work and can use all the different sources on an essay paper. Me intend to build my
strength to get better on my grammar is to make sure that I read aloud for my research or
argument paper that will be writing for this semester. My goal for this class is to finish with a
good grade and learn a lot from the professor. Also, to make sure that I use all help that I get from
the class that I will be attending during this semester.

Persuasive Essay On STEM Education
Everyone wants what is best for their children, right? If that is true, then schools need to start
preparing their students for the challenges they will meet in college and the skills to overcome them.
This is best done through the presence of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) in
middle and high schools. Through Wisconsin schools furthering their focus on STEM with
extracurriculars, students will gain vital skills that are necessary for human progression,
problem–solving and time management skills that can be used in real life, and the students learn
how they can apply what is being taught in the classroom to real obstacles and challenges. It is
clear that STEM is a rapidly growing and advancing field that is needed for our human progression.
There are so many different professions that fall under STEM education and many of them impact
the world every day. According to former PresidentBarack Obama "[Science] is more than a school
subject, or the periodic table, or the properties of waves. It is an approach to the world, a critical
way to understand and explore and engage with the world, and then have the capacity to change that
world" (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Here, former President Obama is talking
about how important science is as more than just a school subject; science can be taken out of
school and used to impact many people and change the world. Some may say that there have been

Benefits Of Academic Writing
When you think of academic writing, what do you think of? Is important that you first learn how to
write in such a way that will convince the reader that they understand what you are talking about.
Academic writing can serve as a communication tool, as well as play a role in your higher
education career. It is my personal belief that the benefits of academic writing far outweigh the
disadvantages. There can be some hindrances, but only if you do not review and edit your
documents. But fear not, for I hope to explain the benefits of academic writing in an easy to follow
way. There are three main components of writing. There is purpose, tone, and audience.
First off, you want to know what you are writing about. Doing research helps, and gaining
knowledge in your subject is paramount to writing a good article, book, or any other piece of
writing. When you are writing, someone may ask you a question about the writing, or what you
mean by a certain passage in your writing. Knowing the purpose of why you are writing and what
you are writing is a good idea. Then the question comes down to, what do I want my reader to
know? Is it informative? Is it satire? Is it to entertain or explain? When you answer that question, tell
your purpose. There are four purposes in writing: To summarize, analyze, synthesize, and to evaluate.
Including a summary at the end of your writing reiterates what your subject is about. Analyze all the
information to be sure that you know the subject. You want

related to teaching English communication skills in order to succeed study purpose and is primarily
concerned with communication skills required for studies . (ETIC 1975, as quoted in Jordan 1997: 1).
The role of the EAP tutor transcends the limited framework of language teaching, to involve
institutional awareness and a detailed knowledge of specialized discourse. An EAP tutor needs to
research and assist students in understanding and constructing texts in their disciplines and to
actively 'engage with the disciplines'(Dudley–Evans and St John 1998).

However, in an English academic writing, writers tend to restrict the amount of metaphor ,whereas
Arabic writers do no seem to make this distinction for academic writing. This seems to be true
because there are an disadvantages of metaphorical usage. Perhaps most importantly it can be said
that metaphorical usage may lead to stereotyping, which not based on fact but it based on other
opinion. For example, linn thinks that all Asian student are circular or all Americans are good at
math. Of course it just an opinions not fact some Americans are not good at math. In addition,
metaphors could use to obscure reality, confuse and influence the readers. For instance, metaphors
are one of the ways that doctors might avoid telling the truth to the patients. In contrast, it is difficult
to ignore the features of metaphorical usage to described psychological theories. It can be said that
teachers and student should sensitized to the power of metaphors.

I believe my research interests lie within the American South. I am fascinated by the historic and

more important. Learning this about yourself helps to address your own weaknesses and to find
individuals that balance the research group out. Throughout this course, I also learned a bit about
research. My concept of research changed very little. Throughout high school and the IB
program, I learned how to evaluate sources, the importance of primary sources, and other
elements of research. In my senior year, I completed an original work entitled "How has the
internet changed the market structure of local news with reference to the Augusta Chronicle in

My Academic Goals And Research Interests
My academic goals and research interests have developed significantly over the course of my
undergraduate studies at Susquehanna University. When I first arrived at Susquehanna I was a
biology major and had dreams of medical school. However, by the end of freshman year, I began to
develop an interest in neuroscience. Declaring a major in neuroscience allowed me to explore the
components of biology I loved, while incorporating psychology and chemistry.
My research interests developed from my exposure to the various areas of neuroscience through my
internships, research experiences and courses. I am currently working on a research project, with the
goal of gaining a more thorough understanding of the genes involved in lateral glial cell
differentiation in the central nervous system of Drosophila. I conduct genetic crosses to obtain the
desired genomes and collect embryos for immunostaining. I examine the expression of a conceptual
gene, cg31235, which is solely expressed in longitudinal glial cells, in the presence of the genes
Pointed P1 (PntP1) and Reversed Polarity (Repo). Subsequently, I will then use immunostaining to
examine the expression of PntP1 and Repo in order to determine whether they regulate the genes

Purpose Of Academic Writing Essay
The purpose of academic writing, as with most other kinds of writing, is to communicate. For you, as
a student, your writing is the marker's only window to your thoughts. Therefore, it is important that
you learn how best to write in a way which will convince the marker that you understand what you
are talking about.
A clearly written assignment lets the thought show through. A muddy one obscures the thinking, and
gives the impression the thought–processes are muddy too. Use quotations and paraphrase sparingly
because the marker cannot tell from other people's words what you are thinking. Get into the
habit of using your own words. Like physical exercise, it may be hard work at first, but you will
get better and better at it until you have a good strong intellectual physique! To take the short cut of
relying on other peoples' words bypasses thought processes and will make the material very hard to
remember as it has not been assimilated into your own mind – it is not your possession. You are not
primarily a collector of information, a recorder of the wisdom of others – that would be very boring.
You are an active learner and a unique interpreter of the information which comes your way.
The act of writing often clarifies your thoughts and writing in your own words is an act of creation.

new theories. However, whenever you describe something in your own words you are displaying

Topics For Academic Essays

  • 1. The book They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein I feel like was helpful in many ways. Paragraph Eight I found very helpful because it teaches you how to connect your sentences. When you are going from one point to another it is very important to relate and connect your topics so it reads smoothly and the reader doesn't get lost. In this chapter it also gives examples of transitions. Transitions help the reader know that there are new points or topics coming up in the writing. There are different transition word categories such as addition, elaboration, example, cause and effect. Ect. In these categories are words that help one transition their thoughts such as also, actually, in other words, and so on....show more content... I also feel as if chapter Seven is important because if you do not tell the reader why this information matters and who cares there is no point. Writers should not assume that the readers will know and understand the points you are trying to make. Chapter seven has many templates on how to explain who cares and why your claims matter to them. For an example, a template that you could use for telling the readers who cares "At First glance, teenagers might say _________ . But on the closer inspection ______." When student uses these templates within their work they do not forget to explain why these things matter. Using Graff and Birkensteins methods in writing can help one's writing go smoother and can also make the writing process Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Academic Success Essay Academic success could never be fully measured by degrees alone, but it can include a person's well–being as well as their mind and certain characteristics about a person that make them unique. This success can be achieved in different ways by these different people with different strengths, but there is the same ultimate goal in sight of each and every student enrolled in college at some point. However, this goal of being successful in not only school but in life, can sometimes turn out to be the opposite of how we plan. Of course, a student can achieve success by earning degrees and still fail in life. Academic success can also be a huge constituent to a students vocational calling in college as young students make a transition into adulthood....show more content... for me, these talents are represented through my top five strengths that were given to me from a test I took. Two of my signature strengths that I think best fit me and are the ones that will help me be successful are Competition and Analytical. Competition by definition is when someone measures their progress against the performance of others, they also strive to win first place and revel in contests. Growing up playing competitive sports at a young age is what I believe led me to be in the competitor I am now. I think my Competition strength not only best describes me but, it may also be my best feature that I can tie into to my daily life to reach success and the goals I have set forth. Being competitive got me where I am today. I've be running for nearly my whole life, this year makes 11 years that I have been running track and cross country and it has truly paid off for me in the biggest ways. I think that having the competitive nature will always help down the line in life. When having the competitive nature my talent is valuable because it will influence and even push people in a group to achieve more than others. I will also bring energy to a group and will be capable of energizing others to move to higher levels of excellence. Also, being competitive also gives me capability of adaptation go different obstacles of life. It often applies to the class room such as seeking out highly competitive people and study with them. You will know that you will push each other to learn more, faster. Because of hardships and challenges I have faced during my running career I feel as if I will be prepared well enough for anything coming fast at a me in life, which will also help me achieve success in the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Writing an Academic Essay Academic writing is different from other forms of writing; it is distinctive, clear and concise. This essay will describe the factors that contribute to the credibility of an academic piece of writing, and incorporating them effectively into your own writing. In this essay I will further discuss the following three features to enrich credible academic writing; planning and drafting, critical writing and referencing and plagiarism. With an abundant quantity of literature available, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to the credibility of an academic piece of writing. With the amount of literature available, especially with the Internet, making critical choices about what to read is the first step in in critical...show more content... You cannot expect all material that you turn up to be as reliable as peer–reviewed journal articles and official publications. As (Turabian, 2007) suggests, you will probably find more sources than you can use, so you must evaluate their usefulness by skimming quickly for two criteria: relevance and reliability. A peer–reviewed source is considered to be a reliable source, as they must endure a thorough review process, with many professional reviewers involved. Peer–review maintains standards and ensures reporting is truthful and as accurate as possible (Hames, 2007). Peer–reviewers examine the accuracy of factual information, and respond with questions and critique of any conclusion made. The reviewers may disagree with the writer or they may agree that they are a professional in the field. The source is further credible if a person with a university degree or other credentials within the field has written it. Having the aptitude to critically source credible sources permits for the effective planning and drafting of your writing. Planning and drafting academic assessments is a crucial aspect in effective academic writing and educational success. The key to successful writing is strong planning, research skills and drafting capability. (Sellers, Dochen & Hodges 2005) highlighted that Observation of writers producing non–trivial texts suggests that most spend Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Reflection On Academic Reading Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. I am a tuned–in Reader, and I appreciate well written biographies. Enjoyable reading takes my mind off school work and relaxes me. I enjoy academic reading as well, but sometimes it is intense and requires much concentration. Moreover, I am a tuned in reader when it comes to academic subject's such as; psychology, nutrition, health and history. Every spare moment I have; I pick up a book or magazine, and get carried away, by the text. I visualize the story and its' characters as if, the story is taking place right next to me. Furthermore, I predict the outcomes of the stories and pose questions in my mind about the characters. I enjoy reading biographies about famous people like Charles Dickens and Anne Frank. Additionally, I enjoy reading short stories and magazines such as; Binah, Ami, and Mishpachah. I am fascinated by the astounding articles in the Ami. For example, the article about a "Journey to North Korea", makes me feel as if I had experienced it myself. Academic reading gives me a sense of accomplishment and joy. Generally, I am a tuned in reader, when it comes to reading information. When I am reading, I analyze and visualize the ideas of the passage. When I stop and think of what I am reading, it enhances my level of comprehension. My appreciation is also increased, to understand and learn new information. Furthermore, I enjoy taking my academic reading to a different level, by discussing and asking questions to my Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. The Importance Of Academics Academics 3.1 Importance of Academics Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. It is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it. Academics are important because it is strongly linked to the positive outcomes we value. Adults who are academically successful and with high levels of education are more likely to be employed, have stable employment, have more employment opportunities than those with less education and earn higher salaries, are more likely to have health insurance, are less dependent on social assistance, are less likely to engage in criminal activity, are more active as citizens and charitable volunteers and are healthier and happier. Academics are important because working people will need higher levels of education to tackle the technologically demanding occupations of the future. 3.2 Various disciplines offered at BITS Goa 1) For B.E. we have the following courses offered:– B.E.

  • 6. Interdisciplinary Approach Confusion Mathematics, science, history, the arts – these are all subjects most people, including myself, have taken at least once in their lives. Usually, these areas of study do not overlap, except for perhaps a few real–life applications of mathematical formulas in the sciences, or when looking at the background of a certain artist to determine the context of a painting or other piece of art. Overall, however, these disciplines usually remain within themselves. This both agrees and disagrees with the following claim that will be discussed: "The fields of study of academic disciplines can overlap, but adopting interdisciplinary approaches to the production of knowledge leads only to confusion." Firstly, the prompt offers a false dichotomy logical fallacy that is not true, saying that interdisciplinary approaches will lead solely to confusion, so using interdisciplinary approaches is the only way to avoid this confusion. Thus, the knowledge question that can be developed from this prompt and that will be answered is: To what extent does adopting interdisciplinary approaches lead to confusion in the production of knowledge? Prior to stating the thesis of this essay, it is necessary to provide definitions of certain words in this prompt. For the purposes of this assignment, fields of study are topics that a discipline covers. The word "discipline" in the term academic disciplines refers to a field or an area of study. Meanwhile, an interdisciplinary approach can be defined as the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Academic Goals And Career Goals My academic goals are to learn skills that I will need in the workforce to achieve my career goals. Being a successful student academically has always been important to me, from high school through all four years of college. I hope to have a substantial foundation of knowledge and experiences from the classroom that will transition over into my future career. Before my professional career begins, I will work hard to attain my CPA by retaining my classroom education. Furthermore, the enhanced knowledge I will gain from a Master of Accounting from Iowa State will better my chances at achieving my goal of passing the CPA exam. My career goals include working at a public accounting firm to gain experience of the field while working towards receiving my CPA. After a few years, Iwant to work my way up in the company and eventually become a partner. Or, if I decide to go private working for a company, I would like to become a CFO. Whichever path I choose, the most important consideration for me as I start my professional career is not a specific job title in accounting, but rather the chance to work for a company that promotes a positive work culture and provides an opportunity for professional growth. In addition, I want to wish to work for a company that shares much of the same values as me and is enjoyable to work for. A Master of Accounting degree fromIowa State University would greatly expand my intelligence in the accounting field, and learn higher level concepts that Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Student Motivation And Academic Success There are a number of factors that can contribute to the academic success of a student in college – motivation, learning preferences/styles, socioeconomic status, whether or not the student is a first generation college student, gender, and even race. With so many factors potentially contributing or hindering a student's academic success in college; it is important for teachers to attempt to connect with students in the classroom. Adjusting instructional methods that focus on students' learning preferences/styles can increase student motivation and can lead to academic success. Studies have been conducted to determine if teaching methods, learning preferences/styles and motivation can predict academic success in college. Some of the challenges facing educators in college classrooms across the nation include: how to make valuable connection with students, understanding students' learning preferences/styles, motivating students and promoting student academic success. When effective instructional methods are used in correlation with focusing on students' learning preferences/styles and incorporating current technology – student motivation and academic success increases. Understanding the purpose of motivation in the classroom, the different learning preferences/styles of the students, how to incorporate new instructional methods and using current technology can ultimately lead to positive student outcomes such as increased academic motivation and success.

Unfortunately not many students have any formal training in this area.

  • 10. Ever since I was young, my parents instilled the idea within me that academic success is very important. I'm the first generation in my family to go to college, so obviously, they did well enough to guide me into wanting to do well enough in high school to have the grades to get into NJIT. But academic success is a lot more than merely getting good grades– it's also about the role it plays in advancing in my future. Not to mention, there will be plenty of obstacles along the way, but there will be things I will have to do in order to ensure my academic success in my future here at NJIT. Academic success is very much an ongoing process. Like most teens, I'm quite the fan of money, but working retail isn't what I would like to do for the...show more content... Overcoming hurdles in academic life is something that everyone, whether in middle school, high school, or college, will have to do. In my case, when I got my schedule, I was at first quite irritated to see I had three hours in between classes twice a week, being that it is such a long break, and I could fit two classes into that time span. But I realized soon after, I could use my breaks between classes for studying or doing homework. And when I start something during class or during a break, more likely, and don't get to finish, when I get home, taking that extra half an hour after I get home to finish it before taking a break really does pay off, especially when I now it's only due in five days, and I have other homework I can do in the meantime, and I don't have to worry about that assignment anymore. Procrastination got the best of me in middle school, and in the first half of high school, but now, I usually don't let it get me. In short, academic life and success is more than just your grades– it's the way you let the way you do in school and your intellect mold your future, being that you guide it in the right direction. Obstacles will be present in the process, but you have to hop over them, making sure that if you trip, you get up again, because it will be hard to keep running if you Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. My Experience With Academic Writing My experience with my academic writing it comes from the past years in different classes, that I have taken here in Texas Tech University. I have taken some couple classes in the science department, a law class. In my law class I had to write an academic paper, explain the different types a law that will apply in a wind energy industry. This academicwriting was done in the law class, but that was different from English class. The writing in the science class was little bit like the writing that was done in English 1301 at South Plains. My experience in the class was to compare and summaries article that was chosen by the professor. In this class, it helps me to improve my writing skills little bit more that my high school English. One of my weaknesses in writing is my grammar, that I will go in depth by going to the writing center and other helpful resources. In 1302 I will learn more in depth how to write a research paper, so that I can go more in depth on my work and can use all the different sources on an essay paper. Me intend to build my strength to get better on my grammar is to make sure that I read aloud for my research or argument paper that will be writing for this semester. My goal for this class is to finish with a good grade and learn a lot from the professor. Also, to make sure that I use all help that I get from the class that I will be attending during this semester.

  • 12. Persuasive Essay On STEM Education Everyone wants what is best for their children, right? If that is true, then schools need to start preparing their students for the challenges they will meet in college and the skills to overcome them. This is best done through the presence of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) in middle and high schools. Through Wisconsin schools furthering their focus on STEM with extracurriculars, students will gain vital skills that are necessary for human progression, problem–solving and time management skills that can be used in real life, and the students learn how they can apply what is being taught in the classroom to real obstacles and challenges. It is clear that STEM is a rapidly growing and advancing field that is needed for our human progression. There are so many different professions that fall under STEM education and many of them impact the world every day. According to former PresidentBarack Obama "[Science] is more than a school subject, or the periodic table, or the properties of waves. It is an approach to the world, a critical way to understand and explore and engage with the world, and then have the capacity to change that world" (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Here, former President Obama is talking about how important science is as more than just a school subject; science can be taken out of school and used to impact many people and change the world.

  • 13. Benefits Of Academic Writing When you think of academic writing, what do you think of? Is important that you first learn how to write in such a way that will convince the reader that they understand what you are talking about. Academic writing can serve as a communication tool, as well as play a role in your higher education career. It is my personal belief that the benefits of academic writing far outweigh the disadvantages. There can be some hindrances, but only if you do not review and edit your documents. But fear not, for I hope to explain the benefits of academic writing in an easy to follow way. There are three main components of writing. There is purpose, tone, and audience. First off, you want to know what you are writing about. Doing research helps, and gaining knowledge in your subject is paramount to writing a good article, book, or any other piece of writing. When you are writing, someone may ask you a question about the writing, or what you mean by a certain passage in your writing. Knowing the purpose of why you are writing and what you are writing is a good idea. Then the question comes down to, what do I want my reader to know? Is it informative? Is it satire? Is it to entertain or explain? When you answer that question, tell your purpose. There are four purposes in writing: To summarize, analyze, synthesize, and to evaluate. Including a summary at the end of your writing reiterates what your subject is about. Analyze all the information to be sure that you know the subject. You want Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 14. English For Academic Purpose Essay English for Academic Purpose (EAP) has become an expanding discipline in higher education worldwide. Universities are center of intellectual gathering for international scholars. The development of EAP is stimulated by the internationalization of higher education and increasing number of international courses taught in university around the world as well as the students' mobility to universities around the world. In addition , foreign students contributes to the economy of Western countries , as an evidence UK receives up to 80 billion British pounds during 2013 ( NEF consulting , 2013).

This focuses on the development of role by modeling to student how they can transfer the skills they acquire in EGAP classes to enhance their understanding while reading the assigned textbooks , listening to lectures and writing essays. Defining EAP, it is highlighted that it "refers to any English teaching that relates to study purpose" (Dudley–Evans and St John 1998 highlighted that EAP is related to teaching English communication skills in order to succeed study purpose and is primarily concerned with communication skills required for studies . (ETIC 1975, as quoted in Jordan 1997: 1). The role of the EAP tutor transcends the limited framework of language teaching, to involve institutional awareness and a detailed knowledge of specialized discourse. An EAP tutor needs to research and assist students in understanding and constructing texts in their disciplines and to actively 'engage with the disciplines'(Dudley–Evans and St John 1998). Johns and Price–Machado, 2001classified ESP into two main areas namely English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Occupational Purposes. ). This is shown in Figure 1 . Figure 1.

This essay will evaluate linn,2009 claim that international student must learn a new way of thinking and writing when they come to study in the UK–type academic environment and outline the controversial point that should be considered.

However, in an English academic writing, writers tend to restrict the amount of metaphor ,whereas Arabic writers do no seem to make this distinction for academic writing. This seems to be true because there are an disadvantages of metaphorical usage. Perhaps most importantly it can be said that metaphorical usage may lead to stereotyping, which not based on fact but it based on other opinion. For example, linn thinks that all Asian student are circular or all Americans are good at math. Of course it just an opinions not fact some Americans are not good at math. In addition, metaphors could use to obscure reality, confuse and influence the readers. For instance, metaphors are one of the ways that doctors might avoid telling the truth to the patients. In contrast, it is difficult to ignore the features of metaphorical usage to described psychological theories. It can be said that teachers and student should sensitized to the power of metaphors. According to (linn,2009,p.2,p.3) it is possible that academic writing in some countries are influenced by its cultures and traditions, which also effect students choice of evidence in supporting their main ideas and how they express their main ideas.

We covered a wide variety of topics that encompassed topics such as methods of field research, the unknowns when conducting research (the Black Box activity), the differences that exist among fields when using the word "research", and many others. I'll begin with what I learned about myself. Throughout this course, I learned a great deal about my future interests and the characteristics I exhibit when participating in a group project. When working with Rob Geis and Martin Castro, I searched constantly and relentlessly through the CIA database to find any information relevant to our project and the argument we wished to make....show more content... I believe my research interests lie within the American South. I am fascinated by the historic and economic elements of the region that I call home. I personally believe that learning about your interests is important but the strengths, values, and limitations that you bring to the table are more important. Learning this about yourself helps to address your own weaknesses and to find individuals that balance the research group out. Throughout this course, I also learned a bit about research. My concept of research changed very little. Throughout high school and the IB program, I learned how to evaluate sources, the importance of primary sources, and other elements of research. In my senior year, I completed an original work entitled "How has the internet changed the market structure of local news with reference to the Augusta Chronicle in Augusta, Georgia?". The research paper was over 24 pages and nearly 4,000 words long. I received an A (a grade received by 10.59% of all students involved in most difficult international high school program in the world) for my Extended Essay grade from the IB Economics examiners in India. I was also asked to complete research reports in other individual courses. One of these reports included my IB History of the Americas class.

  • 17. My Academic Goals And Research Interests My academic goals and research interests have developed significantly over the course of my undergraduate studies at Susquehanna University. When I first arrived at Susquehanna I was a biology major and had dreams of medical school. However, by the end of freshman year, I began to develop an interest in neuroscience. Declaring a major in neuroscience allowed me to explore the components of biology I loved, while incorporating psychology and chemistry. My research interests developed from my exposure to the various areas of neuroscience through my internships, research experiences and courses. I am currently working on a research project, with the goal of gaining a more thorough understanding of the genes involved in lateral glial cell differentiation in the central nervous system of Drosophila. I conduct genetic crosses to obtain the desired genomes and collect embryos for immunostaining. I examine the expression of a conceptual gene, cg31235, which is solely expressed in longitudinal glial cells, in the presence of the genes Pointed P1 (PntP1) and Reversed Polarity (Repo). Subsequently, I will then use immunostaining to examine the expression of PntP1 and Repo in order to determine whether they regulate the genes involved in the in the development and function of longitudinal glia. Last fall, I presented my research proposal, which was followed by a presentation at the Society of Developmental Biology this spring. These experiences have strengthened my desire to explore Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Long Term Academic Goals My long term academic goal is to graduate from college with a four year degree, then continue on to pursue an MD and PhD.
