Is Jones International University a good school

Is Jones International University a good school?
To those of you who have attended, or if you have known someone who has attended: Is JIU a good school? I am seriously considering obtaining my MEd from them, but I'd like to hear some reviews. Any firsthand information would be really appreciated. Please say WHY you think yes or no. Thank you.

JIU is a proprietary college and is marketing themselves as an "online university" - both of these is looked down upon in academia. UoPhoenix is an example in that group and their reputation is near the bottom of regionally accredited colleges. JIU is regionally accredited so they are legit. They also have classroom programs in place so that adds some to their credibility. They are hidden in the USNWR rankings as "International, specialized, and other institutions, unranked" which is the same as UoP and other similar schools. The tuition is much higher than several others in the same class or even better reputation for an MEd. Peru State College for example is much more cost effective.

Answer 2
schools that are driven by ideology, "Christian values" or anything other than academics are not considered "good schools." They might be great places for personal growth or value formation, but if the academics don't come first, forget it. You may ask about Catholic colleges such as Notre Dame or Boston College - they stress academics, with religious overtones. Not the otherway around. Choose what works for you, but know what you are choosing.

Answer 2
tour of the school, get to know your classmates exercises, get to know your teacher, probably a little bit of review, nothing to be worried about.
2010-07-28 15:00:17

Answer 3
At my school they reviewed for the first two weeks of school, and on the first day you won't do much anyway. They just go over procedures, rules, and let you tour the school. Some teachers make you fill out a form about how they can reach your parents and all. Anyway, the first week is going to be really easy.
2010-07-28 15:24:41

Answer 4
it depends on the teacher all our teachers did some review except our math and science teachers who are the hardest. our math teacher said "usually you review at the beginning of the year right? well not this year you were supposed tho learn 5th grade things last year" but not so meanly as it seems reading it now. our science teacher barely told us where to sit he likes to get things done. all our other teachers were kind. remember every year they deal with kids coming into middle school and know how freaked they tend to be and they don't leave you totally clueless.

Answer 5
I'm still at my K-8 school going into the 8th grade come September, so I can tell you how my first week of 7th grade was. ^_^ Ok, the first day everyone got to their 1st period class (all the way to 9th period), all of the teachers were nice and they basically went over class rules and what topics and stuff would be taught. The teachers asked about our vacation and if we had anything to share with the rest of the students, then they gave us like 5-10 minutes to talk to each other because there were a few new kids in our grade level. By the second day the teachers were trying to get our names straight and they used seating charts(except for Science, S.S., and Italian teachers)and starting assigning lockers and textbooks. On the third day we starting reviewing subjects from 6th grade. If you have anymore questions feel free to send an email! ^__^

Never take your eyes off the prize. Don't let anybody dissuade you from pursuing your goal. You can do it--others have. Medical school isn't easy and having a young child doesn't make it any easier, but it doesn't make it that much harder, either. Things have a way of working out, so don't give up before you even start.

Why not consider abortion? If the "daddy" ain't around, and you have such high hopes, it's an option. Don't settle, as abortion is the option you should choose.

Answer 4
It will be incredibly difficult to study and have a newborn. I don't think you should have to give up your whole life because of one mistake, which you will most likely have to. This foetus inside you is but a cluster of cells. It can't think, it doesn't even know it exists at all. This isn't an easy decision, in fact its near impossible. If I was you, I would have an abortion. If you stop this now, you can have another child later and have every resource in existence for them because you will have a solid career. However that is just what I would do, you might be different to me. Your university will have counselors who can help you better. Good Luck.

Hey, When I was applying to graduate school, American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy in Paris was one of my choices! I am a student from the U.S. and wanted to obtain my Master's Degree abroad, thus choosing this university as a possiblity. They are an accredited university and respected university. In addition to this, you are able to obtian a dual Master's Degree, one for the U.S. and one for Europe, which is a hugh plus. The courses are taught in both English and French and I would recommend it to any student seeking to study in one of the world's greatest cities. I ultimately chose to attend the University of London, simply because of being able to study in Europe's largest city, London. Good luck with school!!

The Victorian International School of Sharjah — designed by Victorian firm Taylor Oppenheim Architects, run by a Victorian principal Rob Blachford and staffed by a team of Victorian teachers — opens in September. With classes taught in English, the school will cater for both local and expatriate children and will initially take students from kindergarten to year 9 before expanding into year 10 to 12 in 2008. Both the VCE and Victorian Essential Learning Standards will be offered at the coeducational school, which will eventually cater for 2600 students.

I would like to prepare for my first year in law school. I am looking to purchase books on torts, contracts, civil procedure, constitutional law, and criminal law.

Higher Education (University +) - 1 Answers - 2007-01-15 13:34:43

Best Answer
Emanuel's is a good outline - I liked it better than Gilbert's. Examples & Explanations is also good. For class, you should get High Court Case Notes, which are keyed to your textbooks and summarizes each case in the book. You do not need to purchase any books on the above topics until you get your book list though. The books are very expensive and you do not want to get the wrong book. You should take it easy before heading to law school. Maybe read 1L or watch the Paper Chase. But, to begin reading textbooks is not something I would advise you do. You will be doing enough of that when school starts!!!!!

There is also the afrotc "scholarship program" and "college program." While most "scholarship program" scholarships are awarded to students planning on technical majors, that is not the case with "college program" scholarships. Are your grades and SAT scores competitive for the "scholarship program": http://www.afrotc.com/scholarships/hsschol/eligibility.php It is also possible to prep for a year and then apply to the Academy: http://academic.nmmi.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=2&poid=8&bc=1 http://www.nmmi.edu/prep/faq.htm http://www.nmmi.edu/business/newcosts.htm http://www.nmmi.edu/FinancialAid/index.htm There is financial aid available for students with identified need, however a student must fill out the FAFSA by May 1 to have priority: http://www.nmmi.edu/FinancialAid/index.htm The college will make a financial award based on the information submitted. It is not uncommon for a very expensive private university to end up costing less out of pocket than a low cost public university. AFROTC is available at many junior colleges through cross town school agreements: http://airforcerotc.berkeley.edu/_crosstown-schools.htm [20 of the 36 cross town schools are junior colleges.] It is also possible to direct commission to the Air Force through USMMA: http://www.usmma.edu/military/usaf/index.htm http://www.usmma.edu/military/ Calculate regular military compensation at the link. Location makes a significant difference due to the housing allowance(BAH.)

I was a college admissions officer for 3 years. Although I've never heard of reviewing all applications from one school and then moving on to another school, it is also good to note that many admissions reps have clearly defined territories and are responsible for all the schools in a particular territory. This means that admissions officers are often quite familiar with the specifics of individual schools and can judge some things about the caliber of student applications on the basis of their class rank, gpa, and test scores within the specific school system the student belongs to.

A few days after that, on a weekend, the studio will host a "press junket" at a hotel where the "entertainment journalists" are invited to interview the key cast as well as the Director and Producers.
