¶ … programs have taken hold of many university programs because they offer a "common intellectual experience to stimulate discussion, critical thinking, and encourage a sense of community among students, faculty and staff" (University of Florida). Most of the programs are for first-year students because there is a need to indoctrinate these students into the university experience. Also, students learn to appreciate literature on an entirely new level as they see how one written work can encompass many different subjects. The two books offered, The Red Badge of Courage and The Tempest, offer different experiences for the students, but they both encourage further reading in great literature. However, there is an obvious choice among the two because the potential for discussion ad integration is greater. The Red Badge of Courage is a work that can be understood in a contemporary context and is easily adaptable to multiple subjects.
Students entering college for the first time are generally in their late teens. Because of what has happened since September 11, 2001 most of those students have grown up with war and the reality of U.S. conflict since they began their educational careers. This is not to say that the current war on terror can in any way compared to the immediacy of the...
Besides the fact of war assignments in school, many of the students will know, or have known, someone involved in the war effort. This makes the events in The Red Badge of Courage more contemporary than the other selection. Students would identify with the characters because they are young people, approximately the ages of the students at RVCC. The fact that some may either be compelled or choose to go to war in the near future could make the book even more understandable.
Another issue to consider is the malleability of the content across different disciplines. The story in The Red Badge of Courage is more than that about a soldier who sees his first battle and runs from it (Glencoe Literature Library). As a matter of fact, some study guides point out that many believe Henry Fielding's story was all in his head (Glencoe Literature Library). The fact that Fielding was a victim of the fears and doubts that any person facing battle, and possible death, would have to deal with makes this book an excellent study in an introductory psychology classroom. Of course, the Civil War is one of the main topics discussed in American History classes, so the book would…

Program Evaluation Integrate data collection methods into the program evaluation plan. The data collection method is seeking to integrate qualitative and quantitative research together.

Federal admission issues Before one can even consider the issue of whether or not illegal immigrants should be eligible for financial aid, one must first investigate whether or not these students are even permitted to attend American institutes of higher education. Like the other questions addressed in this paper, there is no clear answer to this question. At this time, there is no federal law prohibiting illegal immigrants from attending institutes
College and College Enrollment How do current college enrollment patterns differ from those of 50 years ago? Does this impact you as a student in any way? When most people talk about college, what comes up most often is the cost of college. One of the most striking things to me about how college enrollment patterns are different from those of 50 years ago is the fact that most college students who

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
