Peer review and what it means to students - 0 views

  •  
    This artical is about how students perceive other students when it comes to academics. In short is shows how much they use peer reviews to help further their education. I thought this is cool because it also shows how in communites one can go to another for help and benefit from it, it also shows the importance of friends and other peers when it comes to academics.

negative effects of peers on students - 0 views

  •  
    this is an artical i found when looking at negative efects friends can have on eachoother, especially in an academic setting. it basically just gives examples of how things like rejection from peers can lead to poor academics and life choices. Good study with solid information to back it up.

Why students cheat - 0 views

  •  
    this was an inetresting source because it said one fact i never really thought of before. that is that your friends and social grouping can influence your negative approach to schooling. this is a not a path i really ever thought to go down when looking at how my communities dynamics megativly effect school so i guess something good came out of this source.

social aspects of a classroom - 0 views

  •  
    the only thing i really found usefull here is a single excert explaining how the better cocial terms one is on with their classmates, the better they usually do academically. I thoguht i could potentially corelate this into terms of how close knit you are with your friends the better you do in school, but im still working on it. not sure if i can use but someone might be able to.

Critical friend groups - 0 views

  •  
    This artical was ment for highschool students but it brought up a very inetresting topic to consider and that is "critical friend groups". basically it tries to prove that friends are vital to the survival of an individual in the school experience and help them grow more than even their parents in some ways. Good artical

inerracial roomate relationships - 0 views

  •  
    this was a cool little study i found about how roommates of different race effect your experience at college. this shows brought my mind to think of different directions to take on my community study and how race could possibly effect the tensions and social relationships between two people in the group.

Med Students: are they socially active? - 0 views

  •  
    This artical decibes how med students are usaully socially awkaward and outcast in a college community becuase of their work load. Often they are just friends with eachother and do not get to meet the rest of the students on campus because of their ahrd scheduals. this pertians to me becuase the community i am looking at has 5 med school prospects in it and this could pertain to them.

Bullying within friendships - 0 views

  •  
    This entry is about how bullying affects children at a young age. Since i am doing my study on discourse communities it is interesting to look this over and keep in mind some of the things it brings up. This is especially true since in my example of my own roomates, bullying doies happen quite a bit. The only problem is that this talks about your students 4-5th grade, but i still find info pertaining to college level kids as well.
