Since BCA 210 is an introduction course to the BCA program it makes sense that a few freshmen could still be undecided of their major. The intended program of study at Central Michigan of the students who took BCA 210, χ2 (9, N = 121) = 27.54, p < .001. Out of 121 students in the class 68 (56.1 percent) were freshman and of those 68 students, 55 were pursuing a BCA major while only six were undecided. With a total of nine students were undecided about their intended program of study in BCA 210. The Crosstabs Chi-square test proved that this hypothesis to be statistically significant with all variables. For the last two hypotheses they focus on in gender plays a role in media today. It seems like more women are joining the media production degree. So, for the fourth hypothesis, does a student’s gender, watching films at home on the internet or on DVD or viewing films at a movie theater influence their interest in film production. Watching films at home on the internet or on DVD or viewing films at a movie theater Adj R2 = .089, p < .05. The total variation in the dependent variable, the intertest in film production can be explained by the independent variables at 89 percent, which is very large. The Linear Regression model proves statistically significantly of the variables. However, only affinity for viewing film on the internet (β= .27, p <. 05) was statistically significant

Once a student makes it to his or her senior year, students are pressured into working out their ideal futures.

Sex and gender play a big part in american society today and are often misconstrued. These two topics have become progressive as people are starting to express their gender and sexuality in ways other than what is and has been considered the norm. Many people believe that sexuality and gender are synonymous with one another. Gender is socially constructed while sex is biologically determined. In society’s past, Americans often strayed away from discussing controversial topics, but with the rise of different ways of addressing people, it is deemed more important to understand. Along with the blurred lines of gender and sex comes sexuality, who someone is attracted to sexually. When people stray from society’s heteronormative mindset, they are often faced with many more challenges than the average hetero man or woman. People often have the preconceived notion that if something does not concern them, then they should not be involved in it. A person who could be your neighbor, co worker, or even child, may have to deal with the troubles of people confusing their gender identity with their sex. While also facing challenges that deal with the sex of the person they choose to love. Learning the difference between gender and sexuality will open the eyes of many people and see how the two are different but relate to one another very much.
“College is a balancing act” I have personally heard this quote numerous times; however, it did not forecast its complete meaning until I began college myself. High School counselors prepare you academically and allow the paperwork process to run smoothly when entering college as a freshman. Although most of these counselors work hard to help High School senior’s transition into college, I believe no amount of paperwork or aid prepares you for such change. According to this survey, career uncertainty leads to anxiety – I couldn’t agree more with the findings of this study and to me it is no surprise. It is evident that the change of majors and anxiety created by the pressure of future satisfaction of jobs remains evident present day. Personally,
upon question number one of the Comprehensive Examination, I would like to present to you “General and Applied Knowledge of Higher and Community College Education as a Field of Study / Discipline” which can be used as an approach to transforming Community College’s into institutions that are more learning-centered institutions for the current and future benefit of our students. With the assistance of factors such as Admissions, Financial Resources, Student Populations and The Role of The President and The Board of Trustees playing key roles in the transformation of Community Colleges, I believe that low academic performance of students will improve in American education. According to Antonio, A., Kirst, M., & Venezia, A. (1997), a major
From the very first day of freshmen year in high school, determining what college you will attend is an idea constantly engraved into students’ heads. Teachers apply a constant gentle pressure to motivate students to get good grades, become involved in extracurricular activities, and find an area of interest to assist in selecting a college major down the road. Students endure the four years of high school, some working part-time jobs, to afford weekend entertainment, miscellaneous expenses—such as Whataburger after a Friday night football game, or gasoline for their car. However, the requirement to decide between a career and education is only beginning to become a reality for many. Some students decided to take time off after their high school
College is a time for students to “discover what they love to do” (Source B), which may not have been what they originally thought it would be. Many students use college as a period of academic experimentation before deciding on a career path they will tend to follow for the rest of their life. Students are exposed to a majority of fields in their generals and are able to weed out what they do not like to
A college major is one of the most crucial and influential decisions a person will make in his or her lifetime. This important choice has the power to determine what a person will do for the rest of their life. Students across the country are challenged by this task each and every year because they are not able to find a path of study that is compatible with their ideal career and favorable interests. Traditional majors are known for providing broad educations and producing well-rounded students that are ready and able to work in various jobs. However, today it is challenging to break into the work force. Students with more specific studies are finding greater success in their job search after college. For this reason, individualized
Senior year in high school is the time we finally approach the first look at college applications. For many, it may be simple, for others it may not. Some of us have had our lives planned out earlier than others. others may see it as a scary lifelong decision to be made when choosing a major. One way students make their decision by planning ahead and seeing the actual potential available within a major.
As the little girl closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep, her grandmother’s voice softly concluded the story, “And they all lived happily ever after. The end.” Similar to this little girl and her grandmother, people desire life to have happy endings in order to show that life truly does have value and pleasure. By witnessing others’ happy endings, people become inspired to achieve hope for their own lives’ purposes. While this is the case for many people, Ernest Hemingway rejected the ideas of hope, happiness, and meaning, instead embracing loneliness, despair, and death.
