Do you agree?

This is one of Dembo's book about motivation and learning strategies for college success. I wish I found the book earlier in the beginning of my undergraduate degree :). Nonetheless, I think it can be still useful for future academic career.

Thanks for your sharing. I will print this as soon as possible.

Hi everbody; Here, there is an important book for us. You can use this book during your academic life.

Hatce, thanks for sharing. I used Bransford's How People Learn in one of my grad classes before. Sections on transfer are important.

This is another explanatory video for technology integration with the aim of engaged, motivated students, interactive classrooms and better academic outcomes.

other timelines are available

I've been trying to find a timeline tool. This is what I was looking for. So can I create my own timelines? Are they free? Abdullah, I heard that you started at Uludag University. Congrats on your new position and all the best with your new academic life at Uludag.

As I know you can create timeline online, creating a free account. Yes I started this month. It was a bit difficult leaving students, especially colleagues and METU but here is also a good environment. Thanks for the wishes:)

It is suprising to see that reputable universities set high standards for applicants, more exams to pass before entering. In Turkey, it is perceived as a success and indicator of giving great importance to establish at least a university in each city around the country. The quality of education should not be measured with the number of universities or the number of university graduates. The credentials of that graduates are far away important.

I totally agree with you. In recent years many universities were opened in Turkey. Most of them do not have any academic people to instruct the new students. It is not a sign of success for Turkey to have "many" but "unqualified" universities. Our unemployment rate is very high when compared to other countries in the world. So what is the logic for opening so many universities?
