U.S. Classroom Culture - San Francisco State University - Duration: 9:36.

Oh!

I'm sorry. Are you okay? Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you look new here. Do you need any help?

Yeah, I'm just try to explore the campus. That's it. Oh, okay. I can help you with that. Oh sure, that'd be great. Yeah, let's go

So, can you tell me something about this University? Well, what exactly do you want to know?

Um, how's the classroom culture?

Okay, so let's start from the beginning of the semester

in the very first class, the professor will hand out a course syllabus which gives a detailed description about

Okay, and how do you address the professors here?

Is it professor? or sir? or ma'am?

Many professors prefer to be addressed by their first names, but it's always okay to call a professor by their title and last name

Still if you are unsure, feel free to ask them

Oh, that's cool.This will definitely help to build a strong relationship between a professor and the students

Yes, definitely! Sometimes professors will have a hard time pronouncing your names. So feel free to kindly correct them or share your preferred name

With this you have to be punctual in classes. This is considered as a sign of respect in U.S. classrooms

Students are expected to attend classes regularly, and sometimes attendance may even count for part of your class grade

Some professors do not like it if you are late for their class

Oh really, then I'll make sure I'm always on time

But wait!

What if I'm not able to attend class? Like if I get sick or anything urgent comes up?

In that case, you should email your professor as soon as possible and they would consider it

Oh, okay, that's a relief.

Also many professors do not accept late assignments and may deduct your points for tardiness

Staying active in class is not just limited to listening to your professor

You should also participate and take notes either with a pen and paper or you may use your laptop

What?

We can use laptops in lectures?

Yes, laptops are allowed during lectures. And usually it's okay to use an audio recorder to record the lecture

However, some professors strictly prohibit the use of any technological gadgets in their classrooms

So you must check with all your professors about their usage in the class either when the syllabus being reviewed or at the beginning or end of the class.

Going further lectures are collaborated with discussions group projects and presentations

The professor presents the content of the course either verbally or through PowerPoint presentation

Professors expects the students to be active in class

that means raising your hand to ask questions, sharing ideas and opinions, and participating in class activities

This helps all students to understand the topic better.

It is very common in your classrooms for you to work in groups.

This is a great way to interact with your classmates, and get to know them, and even helps you practice your English language skills

Working in groups promotes

That sounds great

But how does the professor assign tasks and when do they grade our assignments?

ilearn! ilearn acts as a medium between the students and the professor for assignments deadlines and grades

Professors also provide useful materials through ilearn

Students must check ilearn regularly for latest updates

Eating and drinking beverages like tea or coffee may be allowed during lectures, and again, you can clarify from your professors in case of any doubts

Whoa, this is completely new to me

Back then we used to get caught while having snacks in lectures

I'm sure you guys can relate to that

But here it's completely different. I'm already loving this classroom culture

Happy to hear that

What's that?

Oh, that's the Gator. He's the mascot of San Francisco State

So, getting back to our conversation

Classes will often have discussion or lab sections which are led by teaching assistants

Are teaching assistants same as assistant professors?

Oh, no teaching assistants are usually graduate students who have a good command over the subjects they are teaching

They should be treated with the same respect as you treat your professors

They can help you clarify any doubts you have about your homework, assignments, or test questions

Oh, I see

Oh, I almost forgot to mention one important point, plagiarism!

In U.S. Classrooms. Honesty is a critical component

You are expected to be honest and ethical in your academic work

Cheating and plagiarism are serious violations of the academic code of conduct and are unacceptable

It will often be met with disciplinary action or possible expulsion from the institution

Okay, I'll take care of that

I have a question

What if someone is not able to speak to the professor during or after class because he or she is shy?

that's a good point

Professors tend to be fairly accessible outside the classroom too

So if you need to consult your professors, you can visit them during their office hours or make an appointment

That way you can ask questions or clarify your concepts, homework, or test questions in private

You may also discuss your personal problems, which you think may be affecting your performance in the class

The professor can give you advice on so many things that are beyond the scope of classroom material

You can use this time to ask your professor about academic or career advice

The conversation may be casual and may divert from academic topics to learn more about your interests and hobbies

Meeting your professor during their office hours helps build a positive impression on the professor, and makes you more noticeable in class

Hmm, that sounds great. Thank you for this valuable information

Happy to help!

10 Things about Katana (Explained in a Minute) | COMIC BOOK UNIVERSITY - Duration: 1:58.

Hey, guys, Professor Bill of Comic Book University and I'm going to explain 10 Things about Katana in about a minute.

1.) Katana's first appearance was in "The Brave and the Bold #200" in July 1983 and she was created by Mike W. Barr and Jim Aparo.

2.) Tatsu Yamashiro was born and raised in her native Japan.

3.) She became enamored with Samurai history and culture at a young age.

Her parents encouraged her passions and enrolled her in martial arts training.

4.) When she came of age, she was courted by the Yamashiro brothers, Maseo and Takeo.

5.) While they both desired her, she fell in love with Maseo, and the two married and had twins, Yuki and Reiko.

Takeo vowed revenge and joined the Yakuza and would eventually return to murder his brother.

6.) A fire started and while Tatsu disarmed the fleeing Takeo, her children died in the fire.

7.) She quickly learned that the sword she now wielded, named "Soultaker", was a magically forged weapon that would capture and trap the souls of those who die by its blade.

8.) She is able to communicate with the trapped souls, including her husband.

It's also been suggested that the sword makes her immortal.

9.) From there she took the name "Katana" and went to America and became a vigilante, joining Batman's Outsider's team and, eventually, the Suicide Squad.

10.) She wears a modern take on traditional samurai armor and carries multiple smaller weapons on her person.

Now, she spends her days trying to free the souls within her sword to bring them peace.

And that's 10 Things about Katana in about a minute.

Montclair State University Launches Homeland Security Related Certificate Programs - Duration: 4:10.

An analytic linguist is an individual who really has a combination of skills that of

transcriber

That of a transcriptionist in that of a monitor or somebody who takes and records an outline

this industry and this job role actually is somebody who sits in a

wiretap room with a agency of a federal state or local

government to monitor

individuals who are conversing in whether it be

Terrorism drug trafficking or human trafficking and they help put the evidence

Trail together for a particular agency for whom they're working

In order to be able to build a case that can then be brought and hopefully prosecuted in a court of law

Currently the continuing and professional education unit at Montclair State University

Has two offerings the certified analytic linguist and the professional analytic linguist

These programs are comprised of a number of modules. For example, the

analytic linguist professional

Certificate has six courses in it

The first course is a Spanish

grammar and

Syntax course and the second is an English grammar and syntax course

That really makes sure that individuals coming in are starting with the right baseline for the two languages that they will be translating

in these direct wire intercepts

Then the certificate moves into the more

hands-on practical application of the languages in that they will be taking a translation course a

Transcription course and then of course on monitoring and a monitoring course is the the course

It's kind of think about it as a capstone that pulls together the individual data that they will be taking transcribing and translating

and put it into a record that then can be used in the

The case that whatever agency they're working with is putting together to bring to trial

Lastly due to the nature of this particular

field

Ethics is impairment importance. It's a very

Tight work space that people are working in

It's a very fast-paced. It's very dynamic and there are a lot of

Noise that's going on in the background. There could be some very severe and

quite honestly some some things that

could provide trauma in an individual if they were to hear for example a gunshot going off in the background which

when you're dealing with this sort of a clientele is

Certainly a possibility so it's six courses in English course a Spanish course translation transcription

Monitoring and then finally ethics in addition to the

courses themselves

Students who will be successfully completing. Our certificate programs in analytic linguists will also be eligible

to be sponsored by an agency of government

sponsoring agency that will enable them to

Get employed

The government sponsorship is something that is really something that not everybody can walk into

You do have to have a company sponsor you we've established a relationship with one of the largest government service

GSA contractors who will

Look at our students and we'll put them forward for sponsorship upon completion of the program

So in a very direct way

We're creating a pipeline of the skill set that an individual needs that run in parallel with a sponsorship

For a security clearance that an individual needs and then ultimately a pipeline that leads to

job opportunities

Meet University of Florida Health Urology Dr. Christopher Bayne - Duration: 2:57.

My name is Chris Bain. I went to Virginia Tech where I received undergraduate

degrees. I then did medical school at Eastern Virginia Medical School in

Norfolk, Virginia. I did my urology residency at the George

Washington University in Washington DC and I stayed in Washington DC for my

pediatric urology fellowship at Children's National Medical Center. My

clinical interests really include the breadth of pediatric urology that

includes children with kidney stones, children born with conditions where they

may reflux urine from the bladder up to the kidneys, children with urinary tract

infections and children with abnormalities of the genitalia and

specifically boys born with abnormalities where the urine tube opens

into a different location on the penis versus the most distal tip. I have a

specific interest in children with neurological abnormalities of the

bladder. This could be things that they're born with, could be abnormalities

like spina bifida, it unfortunately could mean that they've suffered a urinary

tract injury, spinal cord injury. it could also mean unfortunately that they're

born with a central nervous problem such as cerebral palsy. Now alongside all of

these clinical interests, I have training in minimally invasive laparoscopic and

robotic surgery and these are state-of-the-art techniques that

basically amount to using smaller incisions, sometimes finer instruments

and sometimes robotic technology to do surgery in a different way than we

traditionally think about open surgery. And oftentimes for kids this can mean

less pain and a faster recovery and there's nothing more important than

getting your kid back to feeling better again.

I came to the University of Florida because really there's a rich tradition

in pediatric urology here in the states all the way back to when dr. Dixon

Walker was here his tenure he was one of the pioneers in pediatric urology and he

set a very high bar in a standard of excellence and not only do I want to be

part of that tradition but it's important to me to be at a place where I

feel like I can deliver children the best care that I possibly can in the

best timely manner that I possibly can and at the University of Florida I felt

like all those resources were already here and it spans everything from the

operating room pediatric anesthesiologists the nurses that we

have in the operating room the techs all the way to all the ancillary services

such as radiologists the different technologies that we have in the imaging

studies we have all the way to the division of urology and everything that

we have here to make a comprehensive program so that I feel that I'm giving a

child the best possible chance that I can

Learning at McMaster University - Duration: 3:47.

(light music)

- My favourite thing about being a McMaster student is being

involved with the community.

- A positive attitude.

When you come into McMaster University,

be bold and courageous.

- This is a really, really short time in your life.

It goes really, really quickly

and you should try to enjoy every moment of it.

- You'll do great on your journey at McMaster.

(light music)

During your first week of lectures

with your professors and your TA's,

they'll inform you of the avenues of communication,

email, it could be online discussion forums,

and their availability for office hours.

I really recommend that you try and network

with them as soon as possible.

That's important to develop those partnerships

at McMaster University as soon as possible as you arrive.

The professors will inform you

on the avenues of communication.

I think, to start off with,

I always recommend students be formal.

It gives them great practice for their professional careers.

In any sort of online communications indicate

your full name, your student number,

what course that you're taking,

what is the concern or the question that you have for them

because many professors teach multiple courses

and that will best help them in helping you

and give you assistance.

When you see the course outline or your told

about the tasks that you have to do put it on your calendar.

Don't procrastinate, time manage.

Know that you have the ability to figure things out,

that you can adapt and there are plenty people here

at McMaster University, our resource centres,

administrators, advisors that are here to help you out.

- When I first started university,

I was still like in the summer welcoming mood.

Like as time passed, I ended up like being a school mood

and doing more work.

You're gonna see people doing a lot

of different things everywhere and I'd say

that you just have to what's best for you.

I made some really good friends.

And like if you're having problems academically,

like everyone's willing to help you which is nice.

(light music)

- Generally speaking, academic advisors are there

to assist students through their degree navigation

and planning at their time at McMaster.

So if a student has a problem or concern,

even just a question that they're not sure about,

with anything in regards to their studies at McMaster,

they should come to see their faculty advisor.

We're here to support you and help you.

And furthermore, everything that happens

in our offices is completely confidential.

I can't stress enough that it's important to

if you have any questions or you're concerned,

to step in and see the faculty advisor first.

When I think about success stories

and the things that I cherish,

I had a student come in and see me

and he was extremely homesick.

He left his country by himself,

his luggage got lost on the way here,

his first week he was really, really struggling.

I directed him towards some clubs and teams.

I got him involved in some of the programs

through the International Student Centre.

He decided to stay.

He was gonna go home.

He decided to stay after meeting with me.

And I was very, very proud of him for taking that step

and I think that--

He's still here, he's still working towards

his engineering degree.

So it's very rewarding when

we can help students in that manner.

Montclair State University Launches New Continuing and Professional Education Unit (CAPE) - Duration: 2:21.

- Yes my name is Dr. Peter McAliney,

I'm the executive director of the Continuing and

Professional Education Unit at Montclair State University.

We're very excited to be rolling out our new

Continuing and Professional Education Unit.

With the addition of offerings

in the non-credit as well as credit bearing space.

We've got a pretty robust portfolio currently of online

credit bearing offerings, however with the addition

of the non-credit credential bearing offerings,

we're opening up a number of venues that we

previously have not been able to service our community.

For example, we have online and in person as well as hybrid

short duration courses, short duration certificates,

and these are designed for working professionals,

for members of the community and for adults who

have a passion to learn something that they

might be more interested in learning about.

The goals of the CAPE unit are really to serve the people

and the companies and the non-profit organizations

in the state of New Jersey and surrounding areas.

We have a focus on working adults,

we have a focus on traditional students,

non traditional students, we really looking

to provide individuals with 21st century work skills

that will enable them to contribute

to the economy of New Jersey, which in turn

will benefit the community for which we all live.

The programs are intended for individuals who

could potentially be underemployed currently,

for career changes, and for individuals who really want

to enhance a set of what we call new collar skills,

which is a combination of both technical skills

as well as what we traditionally call soft skills.

Many of the careers that we're seeing today

do have a combination of these, and our programs

are designed to make sure that we address

both the technical as well as the human dynamic

side of the careers that we're training our folks for.
