Oustanding Business Professors at WVU, Part 1
Paula Bone is a marketing professor who teaches "Consumer Behavior" and "Marketing Strategy" at West Virginia University's College of Business and Economics. Classes filled with lots of theory can be intimidating for students who are used to answers being "black" and "white," but Dr. Bone's approach to teaching lets students know what is right despite a lot of gray area. "When I teach a class, I am also learning from my students," said Bone. "New ideas are always around, and seeing things through different sets of eyes keeps my material from having hard, fast answers." Bone is one of the most decorated and honored professors in the College of B&E. In her 18 years of teaching she has received two Golden Apple teaching awards, given annually by WVU students. She has also been named Outstanding Teacher and Outstanding Researcher from the College of B&E. In 2004, Bone won Outstanding Teacher from the WVU Foundation. This is one of the highest honors for a WVU professor, as only six are recognized each year. "A person in today's society needs to be able to find solutions," said Bone. "I teach people to think. Information is easy to get. It's how that information is pulled together to come up with a unique solution that needs to be taught." The experience and expertise Bone brings to her classes goes beyond notes on a projector. In September 2004, she presented findings on consumer use and interpretation of dietary supplement labels with Karen France to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. She is also administering a project with WVU marketing students which monitors the economic development associated with the Hatfield/McCoy ATV trail. "My classes give students many opportunities," said Bone. "Teachers need to create a situation that allows students to shine. Feedback is important for students because giving them the opportunity to improve and learn is the real goal." In addition to those projects, Bone has consulted with the West Virginia Jobs Investment Trust, co-chaired the 2000 Marketing and Public Policy Conference, and had research accepted by more than eight reviewed journals. She also serves on the board of Marketing and Society Special Interest Group and is on the editorial review board of the Journal of Public Policy and Marketing. These accomplishments have made her an open-book reference for students as the role marketing plays in the business equation continues to increase. "Teachers need to be a resource for their students. Helping students think through situations and allowing them to have a second chance to think things through makes a difference. Students need a person to bat ideas around with, give them a chance to shine," she said. Jonathan is a starving, struggling writer who aspires to work in public relations when he graduates from West Virginia University. He has worked in marketing with Advanced Internet and is currently a PR/Communications intern with WVU's College of Business and Economics. Bentz is also a stringer for the Associated Press.

Online College Programs ? How to Apply
The first step to getting your online degree is to apply to colleges. Research several colleges offering the degree program you need. Once you have decided on a school, you are ready to begin the application process. While the requirements may vary slightly, most colleges have similar processes. You will need to fill out an application, either online or on paper. Check with the university for application deadlines.

Student Moans and the Quarterlife Crisis
It's that time of year again when global issues take second place in the British media, to make space for the great 'A' level debate. Packed with case studies of "Laura achieved nine A grades and was still rejected from her first choice", you have to wonder how long students can maintain the will to study. It's not just the fact that companies and newspapers are debating whether students are actually getting more stupid ('A' levels are the new GCSEs apparently), students are debating themselves whether they are getting more stupid by even considering going to university in the first place.
Writing The All-Important College Application Essay
The application essay is the most crucial piece of writing the student will submit to the colleges, and, if not done impressively, it will also be their last. In most cases, it is the college's first actual exposure to the student, and first impressions have a habit of lasting. A memorable essay contains all the student's Kodak moments interlaced with some less than blissful adventures to create the necessary drama in the writing.

Prepping for the new SAT I

Self-Injury on College Campuses
Self injury is intentionally causing self-inflicted physical pain in order to cope with overwhelming feelings, traumatic events, or severe emotional pain. The person is not "crazy," but rather just never learned appropriate ways to express intense feelings. Some of the most common ways to self-injure include cutting, burning, hitting, scratching, and pulling hair. A person who self-injures usually does so in private. She does not typically flaunt or brag about injuries. Although some men self-injure, the behavior is more prevalent amongst women. The reasons vary. Some who self-mutilate say it helps to release pain, while others say it offers distraction from traumatic memories. For some, self-injury gives a sense of control. Others are numb to emotion, and self-injury gives them a way to feel something.
