Explain 4 reason what are the causes for students to drop out from university​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

While financial issues are probably the most common reason for dropping out of college, every student has their own reasons. Some unfortunately have family issues, a lack of support, or unexpected medical problems that are beyond their control.'

Financial problems.

Poor secondary school preparation.  

The student is not sure or convinced with the major.  

Conflict with work and family commitments.  

Increasingly failing courses.  

Lack of quality time with teachers and counsellors.  

De-motivating school environment.  

Lack of student support.

Answer 2

Answer:

Beyond any other signal, this is perhaps the primary predictor of student attrition. These financial problems are mainly due to a caregiver (either the student or a guardian) losing their jobs, which adds a psychological stress to a financial predicament.

For instance, according to Times Higher Education, 1 out of 4 college students in Germany broke off their studies early due to either financial problems, poor student professor relationships or lack of motivation.

Margerite McNeal. writer and editor, explains how this issue has turned more complicated in the United States due to student loans, as over 40% of student borrowers are not making payments on their loans, which adds to a vicious student debt cycle that pushes them out of school. She quotes former Secretary of Education Arne Duncan saying “The most expensive degree is the one you do not complete.”

According to Collegeview.com, some students “underestimate college costs and realize too late that they lack the funds to cover it all. Others decide they would rather be making money working full time than pursuing a costly degree.”

2. Poor secondary school preparation

Even though colleges and universities are addressing student’s lack of readiness they inherit from high school in areas such as language and mathematics, there is a point where students cannot cope or handle the workload anymore and leave school.

Margerite McNeal is very harsh at saying that, in the United States: “Higher-ed institutions point fingers at high schools for sending them underprepared students who drop out because they cannot keep up with coursework, but colleges and universities are not innocent victims. They can be doing more to help students succeed even before matriculation.”

It is not just the level of the degrees, but the mental attitude. In Spain, for instance, Times Higher Education points out that some people that enter university from vocational training “can have problems getting to groups with the theoretical side of their degree. Others are disoriented by the change from the structured school environment to the more autonomous university world.”

3. The student is not sure or convinced with the major

Any college teacher sees two trends here: either the major failed to meet the student’s expectations, or the major wasn’t the student’s first choice.

When asked about their major, a common phrase that freshmen and sophomore students in the United States tell teachers when they introduce themselves at the beginning of the year is:

“I am undecided.”

In Latin America, this is completely different. In countries such as Chile, 17 and 18-year-olds are virtually forced to pick a 4 to 7-year major, with almost no room to find themselves first.

Students in programs and universities with a low entry requirements threshol – such as social sciences – tend to have a higher dropout rate than majors that have higher requirements to enroll in the first place, such as medical degrees (which in Latin America begins at an undergraduate level).

This is gradually changing, as universities are slowly adopting college-mode baccalaureates and common core education to provide orientation.

4. Conflict with work and family commitments

This happens both in undergraduate degrees and postgraduate education. According to a study by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the main reason why of students dropping out of college in 2009 was this conflict of interest between school, the job and the family.

“Many students who drop out of college have to work while enrolled in college. They often find it very difficult to support themselves and their families and go to college at the same time. Many have dependent children and enroll part-time. Many lack adequate support from parents and student aid.”

While this is also a financial issue, this work-study balance has many other underlying problems. 3 out of 4 respondents said that work contributed to the decision to drop out, and 1 out of 3 said that balancing work and school was “too stressful.”

Read this excerpt from A Black Hole is NOT a Hole. Suppose you were to visit a perfectly symmetric, smallish, non-spinning black hole. What would happen? Right away, you would need a new nickname – something like Stretch or the Spaghetti Kid. The pull from the black hole would force your body into a long, skinny, stringy shape. If you were going in feet first, your feet would stretch out the most. For a moment, they might look like droopy wet socks. Not that you would notice any of this. By the time your toes could register "ouch” in your brain, your brain would not be working. This is the one time when stretching your mind might be a bad idea. What if the black hole were lumpy? Instead of getting a nice, smooth stretch, you’d be pushed and pulled in changing directions, like human dough in a wrestling match with a pretzel maker. (The pretzel maker wins.)

A

The best description of a central idea of the text is A. The human race is evolving beyond the need for petty fighting.

The central idea of the text might be discussing the need for global peace and offering reasons for the many needless fights and wars that human beings engage in.

Therefore, it does not see the reason for all the petty fighting that is going on among different human races.

Thus, the correct description of the central idea cannot be about the recognized duties and responsibilities of soldiers, nor is it to propose wars as means of achieving global peace.

Explanation:

The passage provided is from a book published in the 1980s, and it presents a descriptive analysis of the effect of geography on art.

Although ideas about the ethical issues surrounding colonization can arise from the article, that´s not its main idea. Art history is the theme of the article, but it doesn´t promote it as a field of study. Although the historical developments in indigenous arts are part of the article, it´s not its main topic.

What is the difference between skimming and previewing? ​

Answers

Answer:

Skimming involves the reader going through the body text quickly reading first sentences in written works. This allows them to quickly learn much about the text without investing much time. Skimming works best for articles and other long pieces, like newspaper stories and reports. Previewing involves the reader looking over the features of the text, like titles, headings, and key terms, to get a general idea of what the work is about. The table of contents, index or chapter and section headings of a work are the most effective places to practice this skill.

Explanation:

edge

The difference between skimming and previewing are listed below.

Skimming can be defined as a reading technique in which the reader quickly reads a literary work such as a story, so as to only gather the main or general points (ideas). Thus, skimming involves reading a text quickly through rapid eye movement while deliberately skipping some details.

In English literature, Previewing can be defined as a reading strategy used to gain an idea on what a literary work such as a novel is about without doing a detailed reading of its main body. Thus, previewing can be used by a reader to set a purpose for reading a literary work.

Hence, the difference between skimming and previewing are;

Skimming involves the process of reading a text quickly to only pick the main points while previewing involves reading to understand what a text would be about.Skimming involves the use of rapid eye movement for keyword while previewing requires the reader going through the text slowly.Skimming requires looking through all of the texts while previewing only focuses on a particular section of a text such as title, sub-headlines, table of contents, indexes, images, etc.

2) "Capillaries connect the arteries to veins. The arteries deliver the oxygen-rich blood to the capillaries, where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. The capillaries then deliver the waste-rich blood to the veins for transport back to the lungs and heart. Veins carry the blood back to the heart."
