Students As Catalysts For Large Landscape Conservation, Philip J. Nyhus
Philip J. Nyhus
Colleges, universities, and research institutions are important innovators and partners in many large landscape conservation initiatives. Students are essential but often under-recognized constituents in these endeavors.

This paper summarizes insights from the conference and associated meetings of the Conservation Catalyst Network, including how and why students engage in large landscape conservation, benefits to students and practitioners, and remaining challenges.

Assessment & Feedback Cases
Students are given a hypothetical case study of a family which is based on practice experience. Random social care themes such as poverty, addiction and attachment problems are considered. Students work in groups of 4/5. They must do a group report of the case study. They must develop a risk assessment and an intervention plan. They must also prepare an individual report to inform the tutor what they have learnt individually. Traditionally we give them the knowledge to solve problems; this approach gives them the problem to help develop the knowledge.

Improving Enrollment In The Construction Management Graduate Program Through Students’ Perspectives, Mouloud Messaoudi
Master of Technology Management Plan II Graduate Projects

In addition, the competition between the universities to enroll and retain more in-state, out-of-state, and international students is aggressive. There is a need for a revaluation for the MTM-CM program in order to attract more students in the future. This study is a necessary step to know what the MTM-CM students think about the product delivered to them at BGSU. There was no prior study investigating the satisfaction level of the construction …

An Investigation Of Work Placement In The Hotel Industry: Perceptions From Hoteliers And Students, Margaret Lenihan, Irene Sheridan
Irish Business Journal
The changing need of higher education to interface more effectively with industry has been widely documented, as has the rising awareness of those attributes which most benefit graduates seeking employment. A key way in which third-level institutions can build stronger partnerships with employers, and assist their students in postgraduate success, is through the provision of work placements. This paper presents research conducted in relation to work placement in the hotel industry, from the perspective of both hoteliers who facilitated the work placements and students who undertook placements. Primary research was conducted with both hoteliers and students. The findings from the …
Factors Influencing The Adjustment Of International Students Enrolled At Public Higher Education Institutions In New York State : An Examination Of Between Group Differences, Jay B. Deitchman
