HRD program that is most often not done well

An important component in designing a HRD program that is most often not done well is education and training. Education and training define an employee; without it the worker is ineffective and cannot meet expectations. Authors and experts blame the educational system and the training infrastructure for the inadequate preparation of a particular workforce. You cannot teach an employee statistical process control if that employee had not mastered seventh-grade math or fifth-grade reading. Studies have shown that many job applicants are not prepared for the present job market, let alone the advanced economy they will face in the near ...

It has never been more important to teach literature to aspiring young students than in today’s academic universe. With each passing day our young are enamored with the newest way to communicate, most of which by pass full expression. It seems to be more about verbal ‘hit and run’, where they throw out some acronyms and move on. Today’s young society has less and less patience and their appreciation for literature and what it entails is waning. A relatively high percentage of students learn the literary classics through cliff notes where they focus on what they believe ...

Cheating amongst students in very common and it is on the increase in most academic institutions. I fully understand that cheating violates academic integrity and it can lead to grave consequences, including suspension or expulsion from my academic studies.

Primarily, I cheated because of the immense pressure of being the best amongst my peers. I am always in an environment where my peers, parents, and teachers underline ...

In order for us to discuss academic integrity at “xx University”, we must first understand what it means to be part of a community. In simplistic terms, community is defined as a group of people. Usually this group of people share similar values, governance (laws and expectations), hobbies, interests, live in the same area, etc. We are all members of multiple communities. For example, if you live in the residential halls you are a part of your residential community; fraternity and sorority members are part of the Greek community; and we are all members of the “xx University”community.

“xx University” strives to create an environment where students can thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Homeschooling has become one of the most well sought out ways of educating, and teaching children the lessons they need to survive. Parents are homeschooling their children, and many of the reasons are evident such as the fact that children are more likely to listen to their parents than complete strangers. Other reasons could be that some parents have given up on the school system and their ability to provide a decent education, another reason could be ethical or the school system’s lack thereof to deal with some children especially those who are bullies. The pressure of trying ...

EDU 100: Issues in Education

Choosing a major is very difficult. In many cases, it determines the activity that a person will do for the rest of his or her life. Students have to consider some important aspects when deciding what the emphasis of their college studies and further career will be. This is problematic in many respects. In this sense, Koeppel (2004) affirms that the main factor that influences the decision-making on a college major is the age of students. He states that, since young adults are in the midst of self-discovery, making such an important decision puts an incredibly heavy pressure on ...

Credit Risk Management

Commercial Loan Market Commercial loans are debt arrangements agreed upon by the lender (business) and borrower (financial institution) to cover operational costs or fund business projects. During economic downturn, financial institutions are cautious of their lending and consequently import strict regulations that force borrowers to pay a higher interest rate. The agreement between the lender and borrower in the market is documented in a “credit agreement.” In credit risk management, the most important components of the agreement describe the covenants, the security requirements, priority of payments and events of default.

Abstract

The growing demand for the competitive specialists justifies the particular attention and concern to the Malaysian students’ reading comprehension skills from the Malaysian authorities. The introduction of teaching the Malaysian core school subjects in the English language (Yassin et al., 2009) provided the continual attempts and experiments to define the most efficient way to decrease achievement gaps in the reading of Malaysian pupils. Starting from the 5th grade, students extend their vocabulary through reading (Zubairi & Sarudin, 2009).

Maria needs an integrated English Curriculum that will enable her to improve her reading and writing skills, and subsequently, improve her class performance. English language learners are usually non-native speaker meaning that English is not their first choice. Therefore, they are likely to experience problems in their schoolwork as they have not yet mastered English, which is the medium of communication and instruction in school. They need help with the language so that they can understand the concepts taught and that way; they will achieve the objectives set for their class work. Sometimes, these students may understand the concepts ...

Writing is an intriguing process, whether it is a small child learning to trace out the letters of his name or an accomplished author seeking to put the story that has taken shape in her mind down onto paper in words that others will understand and find compelling. The process of turning thoughts into words and then recording those words onto paper has long been one that has been a source of fascination, whether it was the creation of the dramas of the ancient Greeks or such world-changing essays as Jonathan Swift’s paradigm shift on the treatise in “ ...

Multicultural Literature and Curriculum in Primary Grades

One book that can be useful in teaching multicultural education to primary grade children is ‘How to Define Cultural Diversity’ by Cheikh Diop. I choose this book because it is nonfiction and most of the terms are clearly defined for easy understanding. For instance, Diop begins by defining multiculturalism and cultural identity. One learning objective in the book that is appropriate for primary grade children is based on how it emphasizes the assertion that an individual’s personality is mainly composed of their linguistic, psychological, and historical forms, which every child can relate to (Diop, 1991). Diop also outlines ...

I believe that justice and honesty are two of the most important virtues that a person may have. A couple of months ago, I was accused of having somebody sign me into a class, while I was really at home sick. Even though I had a medical note excusing myself from academic duties, somebody committed this mischief towards me, and I am now paying the consequences of an act that I did not commit. As it is, I would like to address the Board in order to ask for an appeal or lower punishment. I believe that it would ...

For the traditional student, college is the next step after high school. He takes only a few months off between high school and college as he did between the previous 12 years of his scholastic life, a whirlwind transition that leaves little time for maturation or new life experiences between being a senior in one place and a freshman in the next. Adult learners, however, bring a fully-formed identity as an adult with them into the college classroom. Educationally, they may have finished high school several years prior, not have finished high school at all, or be completing a ...

Life is all about overcoming obstacles. Sometimes, one has to face unexpected events that complicate one’s journey. Nevertheless, what is important is that one rises up to the challenge, so as to be greater than the hardships they propose. I faced such a dilemma in my third semester of studying to become a dental hygienist at SUNY Orange: I realized I was pregnant, giving birth during my finals. Logically, my grade point average went down significantly prior to last semester, which I deeply regret. However, I feel that I should still be accepted to City Tech in New ...

Employee pay plan uses the following establishment; the salary survey, job evaluation, pay grade grouping, price pay grade-wage curves, and fine tune pay rates.

It is typical for employers to pay 20% or more of the current market rates for vacancies at their firms in a bid to attract qualified and experienced staff. Job evaluation is a prudent activity undertaken by employers. It helps determine a ...

Many of us, when we think about our histories, do not realize how influenced we are by the institutions are us. Whether it is by religion, class, work, a different institution, or a combination of a few, who we become has much to do with what we witnessed, and what went on around us, how we were raised, and the opportunities that were presented to us in youth. In some cases, these institutions began before we were born. For me, it is a combination of institutions. While many played small roles in my upbringing, as well as who I ...

<Course> It is a fact that who we are today is a result of multiple influences, which include influences from different social factors (e.g., economy, education, religion, family, and many others).

Specifically, my motivation to continue my studies and the faith that I hold have been highly influenced by several social forces that surround me. First of all, my motivation to continue my studies have been highly influenced by my family, especially my mother. Growing up, I have seen how my ...

If the teacher’s learning program had not been helpful for the child, another measure may need to be taken. The child may need to be evaluated for an assessment to ...
