Top Five Academic Anxieties (Test Anxiety ~
The study (Funk, 2009) was an examination of academic anxieties, social expectation anxieties, and self-efficacy, and how they affect academic success among non-traditional college students. Researchers found that all of the social expectation anxieties except employment achievement were found to have statistically significant relationships on academic success.
This included feelings such as guilt, loss of friendships, time away from family, and striving to obtain college/life balance. Self-efficacy, on the other hand, was found to be significantly related to the students' perceived satisfaction of academic success.
What I would like to investigate is whether the same, or similar, findings cut across to other non-traditional colleges too or whether these findings are unique to Funk (2009)

Should Employers Hire Ex-Offenders
This paper discusses the hiring of ex-felons. In this vein, it gives both a pro and a con argument for this particular issue, and examines both sides before finally taking the side of the pro movement, which is reflected in community and governmental politics. The paper concludes that ex-convicts must have a way to get their life back on track.
Research method and design proposal and justification
While experts agree that leadership training is essential for youth development, and particularly for at-risk youth, there is still some disagreement on the best forms and focuses of such leadership training. One thing is clear, early training will in fact have a decidedly different impact on youth than later training. This paper will explain and defend the chosen research methodology to best explore this subject.
