The academic performance of students in a university is influenced by a complex interplay of various factors. This abstract summarizes the key factors explored in a case study on this topic. This study investigates the multifaceted determinants of students' academic performance within a university context. It examines how personal factors, including motivation and self-discipline, socioeconomic backgrounds, and prior education, impact students' ability to excel academically (Flack, Walker, Bickerstaff, & Margetts, 2020). Moreover, it delves into psychological aspects such as mental health and self-esteem, shedding light on their pivotal roles in shaping student outcomes. The study also underscores the significance of peer and social influences, emphasizing the effects of relationships with peers and the support systems provided by friends, family, and mentors. It recognizes the importance of the study environment, considering factors like home environment and access to educational resources. Furthermore, the research addresses university-related factors, including the quality of teaching, curriculum design, and class size, as pivotal in shaping students' academic journeys. Personal habits, encompassing sleep patterns, nutrition, exercise, and effective time management, are also explored as critical aspects of academic success. Finally, the study recognizes external responsibilities such as part-time work and family obligations as factors that may pose challenges to students' academic pursuits. Understanding these multifaceted factors and their intricate connections is vital for universities and educators seeking to enhance students' academic performance. By acknowledging and addressing these factors, universities can develop tailored support systems and strategies to empower students and optimize their educational experiences.

Determinants of students ' performance have been the subject of ongoing debate among educators, academics, and policy makers. There have been many studies that sought to examine this issue and their findings point out to hard work, previous schooling, parents ’ education, family income and self motivation as factors that have a significant effect on the students GPA. Most of those studies have focused on students ' performance in the U.S. and Europe. However, since cultural differences may play a role in shaping the factors that affect students' performance, it is very important to examine those relevant factors to the UAE society. The aim of this study is to investigate the socio-economic characteristics of students of the College of Business and Economics-UAEU in relation to these students ' performance and taking into account variables pertaining to the UAE Society. Using a sample of 864 CBE student and

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect students' achievement. Study Design: Quantitative descriptive & qualitative designs were employed in this study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Tafila Technical University (TTU), Jordan, during Feb – May 2015. Methodology: The sample of the study consisted of 488 students (219 males and 269 females). The researcher used two methods to collect data; a questionnaire was developed to collect quantitative data, it consisted of 5 sections; the first section includes items for demographic information (gender, academic year, college and students' accumulated average). The other 4 sections were the questionnaire domains; each domain represents the achievement problems from students perspectives related to that domain; domain1 represents achievement problems related to students (10 items), domain 2: problems related to the faculties (7 items), domain 3: Problems related to courses (9 items), domain 4 problems related to test administration (13 items). In order to collect a qualitative data about factors affecting students' achievement, the researcher used focus group discussion (FGD). Results: The results indicated that the following factors affect students' achievement: courses, test administration, students, and faculties. The results indicated also statistical significant differences 2 (P = .05) attributed to gender on the achievement problems associated with test administration, courses and faculties; female students had higher mean in problems associated with courses and test administration, while male students were suffering more from problems associated with faculties. Finally, there are statistically significant differences (P = .05) attributed to colleges on the achievement problems associated with students and faculties; humanity college students have more problems related to students domain, while scientific colleges students have more problems associated with faculty domain. Conclusion: This study is aimed to determine the key factors that influencing students' achievement, the study showed that students' achievement was affected by the factors identified by the researcher; faculties, courses, students and test administration. Students vary in the degree of the effect of these factors according to their gender and the college they study in. The student performance would be improved if the academic institution leaders minimize the influence of the proposed factors and taking care of the psychological factors that influence students' achievement by increasing the role of counseling centers at the universities, providing better environment for assessing students' achievement, faculties must be more fair in assessing their students, Faculties Development Centers at Jordanian universities may need to focus on developing the methods of assessment that used by faculties, and faculties and administrators should advise the students about the factors that affect their achievement and how to overcome these factors. The academic achievement of the students depends on many factors; only 4 of them have been identified by this study. There may be other factors which may have a direct effect on students' achievement, such as; the influence of socioeconomic factors, teacher-student ratio, students attendance in the class, and mother and father education. Based on the findings of this study and in order to generalize the results, the researcher suggests that research should be extended to all Jordanian universities.

In the current cloud computing environments, VM resource scheduling only considers the current system condition and ignores the previous state of system which causes the system load imbalance. Number of VM migrations is more when most of the load balancing takes place. The entire migration cost becomes a problem when all the VM resources are migrated. This is largely due to granularity of VM resources and the large amount of data transferred in the migration with deferral of VM service. This paper provides a scheduling strategy to enable effective load balancing. The method used in this paper will compute its influence on the system in advance, when current VM resources are allocated to every physical node and will opt for the deployment that will have the least load on the system. This is achieved using genetic algorithm, chronological data and the current state of the system.

Experiences of a London PhD student and beyond

Thesis Title: Examples and Suggestions from a PhD Grad

When you’re faced with writing up a thesis, choosing a title can often fall to the bottom of the priority list. After all, it’s only a few words. How hard can it be?!

In the grand scheme of things I agree that picking your thesis title shouldn’t warrant that much thought, however my own choice is one of the few regrets I have from my PhD . I therefore think there is value in spending some time considering the options available.

In this post I’ll guide you through how to write your own thesis title and share real-world examples. Although my focus is on the PhD thesis, I’ve also included plenty of thesis title examples for bachelor’s and master’s research projects too.

Hopefully by the end of the post you’ll feel ready to start crafting your own!

Why your thesis title is at least somewhat important

It sounds obvious but your thesis title is the first, and often only, interaction people will have with your thesis. For instance, hiring managers for jobs that you may wish to apply for in the future. Therefore you want to give a good sense of what your research involved from the title.

Many people will list the title of their thesis on their CV, at least for a while after graduating. All of the example titles I’ve shared below came from my repository of academic CVs . I’d say roughly 30% of all the academics on that page list their thesis title, which includes academics all the way up to full professor.

Your thesis title could therefore feature on your CV for your whole career, so it is probably worth a bit of thought!

My suggestions for choosing a good thesis title

• Make it descriptive of the research so it’s immediately obvious what it is about! Most universities will publish student theses online ( here’s mine! ) and they’re indexed so can be found via Google Scholar etc. Therefore give your thesis a descriptive title so that interested researchers can find it in the future.
• Don’t get lost in the detail . You want a descriptive title but avoid overly lengthy descriptions of experiments. Unless a certain analytical technique etc was central to your research, I’d suggest by default* to avoid having it in your title. Including certain techniques will make your title, and therefore research, look overly dated, which isn’t ideal for potential job applications after you graduate.
• The title should tie together the chapters of your thesis. A well-phrased title can do a good job of summarising the overall story of your thesis. Think about each of your research chapters and ensure that the title makes sense for each of them.
• Be strategic . Certain parts of your work you want to emphasise? Consider making them more prominent in your title. For instance, if you know you want to pivot to a slightly different research area or career path after your PhD, there may be alternative phrasings which describe your work just as well but could be better understood by those in the field you’re moving into. I utilised this a bit in my own title which we’ll come onto shortly.
• Do your own thing. Having just laid out some suggestions, do make sure you’re personally happy with the title. You get a lot of freedom to choose your title, so use it however you fancy. For example, I’ve known people to use puns in their title, so if that’s what you’re into don’t feel overly constrained.

*This doesn’t always hold true and certainly don’t take my advice if 1) listing something in your title could be a strategic move 2) you love the technique so much that you’re desperate to include it!

Why I regret my own choice of PhD thesis title

I should say from the outset that I assembled my thesis in quite a short space of time compared to most people. So I didn’t really spend particularly long on any one section, including the title.

However, my main supervisor even spelled out for me that once the title was submitted to the university it would be permanent. In other words: think wisely about your title.

What I started with

Initially I drafted the title as something like: Three dimensional correlative imaging for cartilage regeneration . Which I thought was nice, catchy and descriptive.

I decided to go for “correlative imaging” because, not only did it describe the experiments well, but it also sounded kind of technical and fitting of a potential pivot into AI. I’m pleased with that bit of the title.

What I ended up with

Before submitting the title to the university (required ahead of the viva), I asked my supervisors for their thoughts.

One of my well intentioned supervisors suggested that, given that my project didn’t involve verifying regenerative quality, I probably shouldn’t state cartilage regeneration . Instead, they suggested, I should state what I was experimenting on (the materials) rather than the overall goal of the research (aid cartilage regeneration efforts).

With this advice I dialled back my choice of wording and the thesis title I went with was:

Three dimensional correlative imaging for measurement of strain in cartilage and cartilage replacement materials

Reading it back now I’m reminder about how less I like it than my initial idea!

I put up basically no resistance to the supervisor’s choice, even though the title sounds so much more boring in my opinion. I just didn’t think much of it at the time. Furthermore, most of my PhD was actually in a technique which is four dimensional (looking at a series of 3D scans over time, hence 4D) which would have sounded way more sciency and fitting of a PhD.

What I wish I’d gone with

If I had the choice again, I’d have gone with:

Four-dimensional correlative imaging for cartilage regeneration

Which, would you believe it, is exactly what it states on my CV…

Does the thesis title really matter?

In all honesty, your choice of thesis title isn’t that important. If you come to regret it, as I do, it’s not the end of the world. There are much more important things in life to worry about.

If you decide at a later stage that you don’t like it you can always describe it in a way that you prefer. For instance, in my CV I describe my PhD as I’d have liked the title to be. I make no claim that it’s actually the title so consider it a bit of creative license.

Given that as your career progresses you may not even refer back to your thesis much, it’s really not worth stressing over. However, if you’re yet to finalise your thesis title I do still think it is worth a bit of thought and hopefully this article has provided some insights into how to choose a good thesis title.

My advice for developing a thesis title

• Draft the title early. Drafting it early can help give clarity for the overall message of your research. For instance, while you’re assembling the rest of your thesis you can check that the title encompasses the research chapters you’re included, and likewise that the research experiments you’re including fall within what the title describes. Drafting it early also gives more time you to think it over. As with everything: having a first draft is really important to iterate on.
• Look at some example titles . Such as those featured above!
• If you’re not sure about your title, ask a few other people what they think . But remember that you have the final say!

I hope this post has been useful for those of you are finalising your thesis and need to decide on a thesis title. If you’ve enjoyed this article and would like to hear about future content (and gain access to my free resource library!) you can subscribe for free here:

A FRAMEWORK FOR ACHIEVING THE FOUR STUDENT WELLNESS OUTCOMES USING COLLECTIVE SYSTEM DESIGN

In response to the evolving demands of todays competition, there is a growing expectation for enhanced services to industry and academic enterprises. This thesis explores the application of System Engineering methodologies as a strategic approach to securing success with both industrial and academic enterprises. Industry faces issues with the absence of a positive tone, inefficiencies and delays in delivery, and customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, academia faces several challenges including lack of communication between departments, how to allocate institutional resources to simplify student experience, reduce complexity in students college experience, and lack of students motivation. These issues for students lead to poor academic performance, financial struggles, and possibly mental health problems. There is a recognized need for a systematic approach to ensure student success at universities. A fundamental approach emerges in the form of Collective System Design (CSD) to find ways to address the above- mentioned challenges. Collective System Design is explored for ad- dressing the challenges faced by academic organizations and industrial processes. Collective System Design aims to improve the long-term viability of an enterprise by fostering sustainability and success. This thesis further investigates the Collective System Design Language, offering a communication tool for design and an approach to assess effectiveness before implementation. This thesis highlights two case studies: Shuttleworth (manufacturing industry) and the Purdue University Fort Wayne Student Success Standard Process Lifecycle. The impact of solving these problems can be measured through several key indicators: Shuttleworth (Manufacturing Industry). • Reduction in Lead Time • In on-time Delivery • Enhanced Customer Satisfaction and improvement in product quality. Purdue University Fort Wayne. • Improvement in Student Experience and Quality of Life. • Achievement of Student Wellness Functional Requirements and improvements in student retention and four and five year graduation rates. Achievement of Student Success Functional Requirements and improvements in student retention and four and five year graduation rates. There are three main objectives of this thesis: (1) Apply and contrast the application of Collective System Design principles across a manufacturing industrial client and a service enterprise, namely higher education (2) Offer a systematic approach for manufacturing to improve on-time delivery, enhance customer satisfaction, create positive tone by using the principles of Collective System Design, and (3) For academia, develop a System Design Decomposition to define the functions of the university to foster student wellness according to four viewpoints: academic, financial, career, and living wellness. The objective is to incorporate the development of a System Design Decomposition that provides methodology to ensure that student wellness outcomes consider the four viewpoints of wellness (Academic, Financial, Career, and Living). The Student Success Standard Process Lifecycle defines standard processes in all process steps that will facilitate the desired student experience and four wellness outcomes. The lifecycle consists of Student Success States where the lifecycle begins from S0 (learning about university) to S7 (Supportive alumni) and defines standard process steps in each state. Each standard process step seeks to achieve the Functional Requirements from the four wellness viewpoints (academic, financial, career, and living) in Student Success Standard Process Lifecycle. The Collective System Design Decomposition methodology will serve as a structured approach to defining desired student wellness outcomes within a Rapid Design Process, which takes place in the first session focusing on defining outcomes. By leveraging this framework of four wellness viewpoints, the thesis aims to address issues with defining the outcomes for academic, financial, career, and living wellness viewpoints. Each wellness viewpoint has specific Functional Requirements (outcomes) that need to be defined and achieved by Student Success Standard Process Lifecycle and Rapid Design Process, to ultimately enhance student success and well-being at Purdue Fort Wayne University.
