I would like your feedback on a new resource I found online for assistive learning. I'd like to recommend it to some of my students but wanted to ask opinions before I do that. It's a new teaching assistant tool that focuses on reading comprehension and reading difficulties, but it is geared towards students with gr 2- 8 level. Here is the link, let me know what you guys think.
Hi there. I am a Bachelors in Science of Nursing major and am still in the process of completing my general education and prereqs. I have already taken English or EWRT 1A and am about to take EWRT 1B. For nursing school, do you think it matters if I take the EWRT 1B class for a pass/no pass grade? Or should I take it for a letter grade? Thank you.
I am a College professor, and I have a student, who is at a 59&37; average in my class, and she needs a 60&37; to pass the course. Without the 60&37; she cannot continue in the program. Her final grade was posted as a 59&37;. My hands were tied in this situation, but she is requesting a grade review from the college, what are the chances that they bump her grade? Would you bump the grade?
Kindly email this call for papers to your colleagues, faculty members and postgraduate students.

UPTU is affiliating in nature and its jurisdiction spans the entire state of Uttar Pradesh. The body conducts Uttar Pradesh State Entrance Examination (UPSEE), which enables bright students to get admission in various courses such as B.Tech, B.Pharm, B.Arch, and other government approved programmes. Analysing past placement record, it has been found that on-campus job placements in UPTU colleges are not that good as compared to other universities in India. What’s the reason behind this? Is it the lack of quality technical education or the lack of its recognition in the domestic or global job market?
On one side, number of students not getting placed is increasing day by day, on another side, private companies hiring UPTU students fire them after a year or so as they are unsatisfied with their performance. This is becoming a growing concern for the university and the body is thinking to take some steps to remove this problem. One reason that has come into limelight is the choice of subjects. UPTU students select easy subjects in order to score high marks during examinations. It’s important that they select important subjects so that they can develop relevant qualities for the competitive job market.
The placement record was very good in UPTU 5-6 years back. In recent days, some of the UPTU students have been selected in NASA and ESPN. These numbers are very few, and the university is working on to improve the placement graph. Under the MHRD's 'Talk to a Teacher' program, UPTU has signed a MoU with IIT-Bombay. Under this agreement, UPTU students can now pursue Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) courses along with their curriculum. This tie-up will benefit UPTU students and help raise their academic standards. Besides this, UPTU UPSEE 2015-16 session will remove all colleges with fake affiliation as these colleges have diluted the reputation of other UPTU-affiliated colleges. The state government will start online affiliation process through a software system to increase transparency.
It’s quite depressing and frustrating for students spending lakhs of rupees in their graduation and not getting placed at the end of their three or four year programmes. These initiatives taken by UPTU will not only help the students to get placement but will also help the university in getting a good status.
