This paper examines the academic performance and efforts to seek assistance for academic and related problems of undergraduate students at North Carolina A&T State University. To that effect, the grade reports of business and economics majors and responses to a survey of students enrolled

    In reviewing the article “At 2-Year Colleges, Students Eager but Unprepared,” we see how Diana Jean Schemo sheds light on why students are not truly prepared for a higher education. In her article, she follows a student named Michael Walton on his journey to obtain his associate’s degree. Walton was smart enough to graduate from high school one and a half years early. However, he found that when he took his entrance exams for college, his scores showed that he would need remedial math classes. Unfortunately, research suggests that nearly one-half of all the students entering into higher education will need corrective courses.…

    College is an institution or establishment that provides higher levels of education or specialized training, be it vocational, or for a profession. There are many good reasons to stay in school and complete these programs and earn a degree. However, many students will endure the process of enrollment at the beginning of a semester, but soon thereafter fall short of themselves and eventually drop out. We often see high enrollment and low graduation rates. There are a variety of factors that influence a student’s likelihood to drop out including the devaluation of degrees in the economy, academic preparedness and perhaps, life itself.…

    A Critique: Failure

    • 4 Pages

    Despite an utter disregard of the social implications of failure, the article forms a solid ground for debate. Sherry favors the hindering of students who have not satisfied passing requirements, reasoning that lenient grading does not inhibit actual learning. She emphasizes that graduates are not prepared for life after high school, saying that, “they have been cheated by our educational system,” (Sherry 2). Also, the idea that the fear of failure can motivate people to better themselves is suggested. Sherry ends the article by concluding that flunking, “is a positive teaching tool,” (Sherry 11). Most of the points examined are reasonable but the article doesn’t recognize the intricacy of this multi-faceted phenomenon.…

    Failure can arise when you least expect it. My first year of middle school was plagued with a chain of distractions that would culminate in the worst experience of my academic career. A common phrase that could be heard at my school just before the first day of seventh grade was “The math teacher is the hardest and meanest teacher ever!” I believed this statement, and used it to justify my lack of academic effort. The absence of my mother, who spent a significant amount of the school year out of state caring for her extended family members, served as an additional distraction for me. My dad, during this time period, was consumed by his work. My mom’s absence, combined with my dad’s work commitment, left me unaccountable for…
