Education & Reference - 23 October 2007

I often think that the time has arrived for colleges such as the University of Phoenix as this relates to the growing trend of adult higher education in environments suitable for adult learners. As the growing need for individuals to work beyond retirement, or upgrade their credentials and who have proven their abilities as a result of years of professional experience; former academics and the impression they show in interviewing for admission, leads me to believe institutions of higher learning suitable for adult learners are becoming increasingly in demand. For example, as a result of Phoenix pioneering the concept of adult learning, online-training and learning teams, practically all traditional colleges have included this format in their academics, realizng that the need for adult learning environments enables them to remain competative in a highly competative market.

at my nursing school asked another student how old she was and then told her she was too old to be in the program. I don't know exactly how old the student is (and I don't think it matters). I am also an older student. I can't make this instructor mad, she grades my clinical activities. What do you think I should say if she asks me the same thing? Do you think I should speak to my class instructor (also the program chairman) if she does, or go right to the Dean of the school? OR should I go to the President of the school?

If you have to read a paper outloud and it contains a passage from a book or something similar.... do you say where it came from? like in the middle of reading? And what do you say? The author and page number? what if it's internet? Do you have to say?

I am a sophmore in high school. What should I be focusing and thinking about now?
I want to know what to do after high school, like what college to go to, etc, to become a veterinarian. I also want advice from any vets or anyone that can help me or give me information, tips, etc.

Also, what are some veterinary colleges in USA? All I know about is Cornell, which is extremely difficult to get into. It is however, my dream school. So any tips would be great about getting into here.

And how does this work, do you go to a 4 year college first, then veterinary school?
Does it matter what 4 year college you go to? Whats a good one that will increase my chances of getting into vet school?

What are my chances of getting into a veterinary college? To help you answer this one, look at the additional information.

I'm a first-year math and physics teacher, so being the new person I got the classes that no one else wanted. I admit I started out way too laid-back with them. Of course they took advantage and walked all over me, so I had to kind of crack down on them. So now it's getting to the point that they all hate me! I can't speak for every student, but I know that when I was in high school I didn't really listen to the teachers that I didn't like or respect. I'm afraid this is going to affect their ability (or willingness) to learn the material in my class - and they need it for the ACT!!! What can I do to keep them behaving, but also keep enough respect that they learn something from me???

She takes away my hopes of being a pharmacist.

An EFL textbook for Japanese college students, written by a native speaker, has this sentence
"...Although he says he was floored by the news of the award, his students were not surprised at all..."
The author asks "What was his reaction to the news of the award?" and gives four choices: 1.he was embarrassed 2.he was proud of himself 3. ...sorry, I forgot,..... 4.he was very surprised.
Although I was not sure exactly what "be floored" implies, I thought the answer should be "4.he was very surprised," judging from the context.
But the answer given by the author is "1.he was embarrassed."
So please tell me, when you "are floored" by something, are you embarrassed rather than surprised?
