Argosy University: College Informational Sessions

Collecting Vital Information Before Entering School

Entering college is an exciting time that requires a significant amount of preparation and planning. The matter of choosing a school demands a healthy amount of research and soul-searching, but several more questions arise once you've made the decision. Attending pre-college information sessions is the ideal way to gather imperative information that will answer lingering questions and help you map out your journey. Information sessions often include discussions on financial aid, admission procedures, and how the respective college will help guide your career choices and education.

Whether you've decided on what school to attend or still need help choosing the perfect school, information sessions will help you make educated choices about continuing your education. The event representatives are there to answer any questions you pose in order to smooth your transition process, so make the effort to prepare questions to ask during the session. If you can't come up with a sufficient list of questions before attending, ask friends, family, or your current teachers for their input. There's a good chance that college alumni have a collection of questions they wish they had asked before school began. If nothing else, the events will be rich with literature on the specific school, allowing you to collect materials that clearly detail how the school can accommodate your needs.

It's exceedingly important to take advantage of your resources before attending college. The more information you collect, the more confident you will be when you first step foot on campus grounds. Confidence will translate well with professors and help you maximize your time at school.

Argosy University hosts Open House events regularly at their 19 campus locations. Keep updated and visit Argosy University Online to view start times at the campus of your choice and RSVP!

Forensic Psychology, a History

http://helpingpsychology.com/forensic-psychology-a-history

Forensic psychologists are often asked to provide testimony, assessments or evaluations in both civic and criminal trials. Although viewed as a relatively recent psychological specialty, forensic psychology was introduced well over a hundred years ago. In 1873 Wilhelm Wundt founded the first psychology laboratory in Leipzig, Germany. It was his work that refined and established the experimental method as it applied to psychology. He conducted experiments in the legal arena in areas such as witness testimony and criminal evaluation that are still being used today.

Choosing a Major Helps Determine Possible Career Paths

Narrowing down a major from the dozens of available options is overwhelming for students who either find joy in a wide range of subjects, or have not yet found any of the choices appealing. It's best to begin exploring your options, even if you aren't sure yet which university you'll attend or what classes you're taking your first semester. Jumping into a major without researching it will only temporarily relieve the pressure you're feeling from your university, parents or peers to make a decision. Doing so might mean more pressure later on in your college career, when you have to shift into reverse and reevaluate which major will truly make you happy. Get the researching and soul-searching out of the way before nailing down a subject.

Keeping schoolwork honest

http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=argosy&init=quick#/notes.php?id=55396345419

With the power of the Internet at every student's command, plagiarism has become a more common practice throughout academia. If you need a report on the economy in Thailand for tomorrow's class, but you’d rather stay out with your friends the night before, an already written report found on a website can seem very alluring. Here’s a few reasons why keeping your schoolwork honest is beneficial, not only to your learning, but the academic environment in general.

How are you keeping your school work honest? What motivates you to keep your integrity?

What Should Colleges Teach? (Opinion)

http://www.universitybusiness.com/newssummary.aspx?news=yes&postid=20178

A few years ago, when I was grading papers for a graduate literature course, I became alarmed at the inability of my students to write a clean English sentence. They could manage for about six words and then, almost invariably, the syntax (and everything else) fell apart. I became even more alarmed when I remembered that these same students were instructors in the college’s composition program. What, I wondered, could possibly be going on in their courses?

Recent and seasoned graduates find support in their university and college affiliations while searching for career opportunities. Undergraduate institutions are offering their career services centers to alumni, and some are taking advantage.

Would you consider looking up your Alma mater for career guidance and networking opportunities, or do you think these services are more geared towards current students?
