While several studies have examined the learning outcomes of student-run communications agencies, these studies have mostly been from the perspective of faculty advisors. Through in-depth interviews with student agency graduates, this study examined how current industry professionals perceive the benefits of their student agency experiences and how they applied those experiences to their professional careers. Graduates placed a high value on the real-world experience gained from student agencies, learning how a professional agency functions, and working with a diverse set of clients and people in team-based settings. Graduates also reported that their student agency involvement set them apart in job interviews and made them better prepared than their peers for entry-level positions.

The stereotypic view of the drug addict as a ne'erdo-well who cannot cope with the real world is challenged and a “career” model explicated. The similarities of drug careers to professional careers, particularly those of physicians, are noted. The analysis also delineates the developmental stages of the drug career: initiation, escalation, maintenance, discontinuation and renewal. More positive approaches to the prevention of substance abuse are recommended.

Problems in the implementation of learning cause students' learning outcomes are not good. As for example, the implementation of learning is still centered on the teacher, is conventional by using the lecture system in full, the emphasis is not on facts and information, but rather emphasizes on memorization, attaches more importance to the content than the process, and is less directed at meaningful and functional learning for the lives of students. The learning process that does not involve students in the real world and does not realize interaction between students, making it less interesting, boring, students become passive, as a result of which students can not master the material well. To overcome all of that, researchers applied new media as a way to increase students' learning interest, namely by using demonstration methods. The issue was discussed through class action research conducted through two cycles. Research data obtained through observation in the classroom and documentation of the results of actions taken as well as data from class teachers. From the results of the study obtained an increase in each cycle, namely on the increase in the average grade of students in the pre-cycle is 66.77 in cycle I: 75.00 and 80.00 in cycle II. The percentage of students' learning completion also increased, namely 62.06% in pre-cycle, 79.31% in cycle I, and 100% in cycle II. Thus, the increase in learning completion from pre-cycle to cycle I after improvement was 17.25%, and increased from cycle I to cycle II by 20.69%.

Many people think that in order to achieve high academic achievement, the Intellectual Intelligence (IQ) is also have to be high. However, according to the latest research results in the field of psychology to prove that IQ is not the only factor affecting people’s achievement, but there are many other factors that affect, one of them is Emotional Intelligence (EI). EI is the ability to recognize emotions, manage emotions, motivate oneself, show empathy and the ability to build relationships with others. Academic achievement is the result of learning based on the measurement and assessment of learning outcomes that is normally in the form of score written in the rapport. When students have high EI, it will increase their academic achievement. Thus, students should have good EI to achieve a better achievement in school and prepare them for the real world. Emotional intelligence plays a great role in student success at school and in their environment. Therefore, it is recommended to the school especially the teachers to incorporate elements of emotional intelligence in presenting material and engaging students in the classroom.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.

The Council for Clinical Certification in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CCFC) sets accreditation standards and these standards list broad domains of knowledge with specific coverage of “the appropriate etiologies, characteristics, anatomical/physiological, acoustic, psychological, developmental, and linguistic and cultural correlates” and assessment, intervention, and methods of prevention for each domain” (CCFC, 2013, “Standard IV-C”). One domain in the 2014 standards is “voice and resonance.” Studies of graduate training programs suggest that fewer programs require coursework in cleft palate, the course in which resonance was traditionally taught. The purpose of this paper is to propose a standardized learning outcomes specific to resonance that would achieve the minimum knowledge required for all entry-level professionals in speech-language pathology. Graduate programs and faculty should retain flexibility and creativity in how these learning outcomes are achieved. Shared learning objectives across programs would serve programs, faculty, students, accreditation site visitors, and the public in assuring that a consistent, minimum core knowledge is achieved across graduate training programs. Proficiency in the management of individuals with resonance disorders would require additional knowledge and skills.
