Fire Extinguishers

Chemists operate fairly scary chemicals with their bare hands, but drug injuries and addiction is very rare. This is because we are familiar with what is dangerous and what is not dangerous, and for that reason, the experimental curriculum is designed with the idea of gaining sufficient experience of failure in the undergraduate years in the chemistry classroom of the university. From the experience of safety education in the author's laboratory, this article will describe some points that are easy to overlook (metal powder), fire extinguishers, and the opinions are divided (cyanide). Beside general viewpoints of chemical aspects fire safety and chemistry experiments similar to that I have written for high-school and college students and teachers, this Editorial focused on “Question” that my (under) graduate students have practically.

A study was conducted with Community and Technical College students enrolled at the University of Akron, a major urban university, during the 1978–1979 academic year. Students were divided into traditional and nontraditional persisters and nonpersisters, and if they were placed on academic probation, they were removed from the study. These students were given modified National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) questionnaires for program completers and noncompleters. The questions tested for varying degrees of satisfaction with the University and reasons for withdrawal concerning various academic, socioeconomic, and environmental press variables. In addition, selected demographic variables from the student masterfile were tested, along with the questionnaire responses in 99 research hypotheses using multiple linear regression and corrected for multiple comparisons. Results indicate that 13 hypotheses were found to significantly discriminate between traditional and nontraditional community college students. The persisting nontraditional students appeared to be more satisfied with the University concerning a few variables, greater proportion attended part-time, during the day, enrolled for less hours, and had a greater high school grade point average than their traditional counterparts. The nonpersisting, nontraditional students were similar to their persisting counterparts, except that traditional nonpersisting students had a higher high school grade point average, lived at greater distances from the school, and attended day time classes as compared to nontraditional students.

This chapter addresses the need to make time and space for transliteracy practices in the classroom. University pre-service teachers are used as the primary example as the chapter documents how these students made meaning across a range of platforms, while reading the acclaimed young adult novel The Hate U Give. The university course, titled Language and Literacy, focuses on methods of literacy instruction in the classroom. A lesson plan framework is included in the chapter that is especially user friendly for educator preparation classrooms as well as high school and middle school teachers. The chapter explores the experiences of the college students while reading The Hate U Give, while detailing how the students created meaning through a variety of traditional and modern teaching practices.

Management Techniques

College students need time management techniques in order to be successful. Likewise, evidence suggests high school does not fully prepare students for success in college. The present chapter will investigate time management and the techniques students should obtain. Time management strategies, time wasters, and specific time management tools will be described at length. Tools students can use to create and implement a daily time management plan will be provided. The chapter's conclusion describes time management techniques for undergraduate and graduate students and best practices to assist in completing coursework.

Competitive Activities

Quite a number of the chapters of Pi Mu Epsilon, an honorary mathematics fraternity for university undergraduate and graduate students, sponsor competitive activities for mathematics students. A good many readers of The Mathematics Teacher no doubt have won Pi Mu Epsilon awards during their college days and a great many more of their students should be future winners of these contests. While most of these activities are sponsored for college students the nature of the contests and the kinds of recognition given should be suggestive for those interested in contests for high school students.

This article shows the results of a study of the cyberbullying and cyberstalking experiences of students at a public liberal arts college. A survey was administered online to sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students at the college. The prevalence rates were 10% for cyberbullying and 9% for cyberstalking, shown in the sample of 471 respondents. Traditional college students under 25 years of age were experiencing and participating in cyberbullying at higher rates than older college students. Prior experience as a victim of cyberbullying in high school was a significant risk factor for cyberbullying and cyberstalking in college, which implies that students’ roles in cyberbullying are maintained from high school to college. The majority of college students are handling cyberbullying incidents themselves rather than utilizing campus resources, but two-thirds of respondents would be more likely to consider reporting an incident if there was a central e-mail address available for reporting incidents.

The Relationship

The study focused basically on measuring the relationship between the material cost of the students benefits program and the benefits which are earned by it, which was distributed on college students in the initial stages (matinee) and to show the extent of the benefits accruing from the grant program compared to the material burdens which matched and the extent of success or failure of the experience and its effect from o scientific and side on the Iraqi student through these tough economic circumstances experienced by the country in general, and also trying to find ways of proposed increase or expansion of distribution in the future in the event of proven economic feasibility from the program. An data has been taking from the data fro the Department of Financial Affairs and the Department of Studies and Planning at the University of Diyala with taking an data representing an actual and minimized pattern and questionnaires to a sample of students from the Department of Life Sciences in the Faculty of Education of the University of Diyala on the level of success and failure of students in the first year of the grant and the year before for the purpose of distribution comparison. The importance of the study to measure the extent of interest earned in comparision whit the material which is expenseon the program of grant (grant of students) to assist the competent authorities to continue or not in the program of student grants for the coming years.
