Research Proposal: The Parking Lot Problem

874 Words4 Pages

The “Parking Lot Problem” sounds like it may be just a general and very broad topic, but just ask any student who drives that attends Marist College. The issue with such limited parking here at Marist is just one of the many questions that emerge from the student population. With the student body population on the rise over the course of a few years, the parking spaces available have not been able to keep up at the same rate. With the dilemma of there being not enough parking here on campus growing so rapidly, I decided to interview a few different people who are members of the Marist community. They all have experienced the parking situation quite different, but know that there needs to be something done as soon as possible. While the problem …show more content…

Charles, a sophomore who lives on the west side of campus in the Upper West Cedar housing, whom has a parking pass still finds it outlandish that there is never any parking when it is time to head to class. Charles has told me, “To be honest I think that it is all just a scam buying a parking pass for the school year. You are just saving some dollars for tickets by purchasing the parking pass. It just covers the $25 tickets that security hands out. No, I don’t blame them because they’re doing their job. I just wish they would realize that, yes, I am going to park in a spot that I shouldn’t if I’m running late to class and its much closer than my designated parking lot. It is just a high risk high reward type of thing”. It has gotten to the point where the tickets are not even a concern to many students anymore, it is good that their willing to risk getting a ticket if it means being on time for class. Charles noticed that even with his only night class of the week, that is when the problem is at its all time peak. Night classes, host adults who come from work along with the professors who run the class. The timing conflict seems to be a problem with Charles schedule, but even students with no car on campus know the pain that drivers go through. When parents come up it can be just as much a problem or even worse because it just adds to the traffic throughout the campus. Milan, sees the problem a

  • Centerville's Argument Analysis

    539 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this letter, the author argues that all students should be required to take the driver’s education course at Centerville High School which is a mandatory program sponsored by the high school to solve the teenage driving problems in the town of Centerville. He supports his argument by presenting some evidence, however, there can be a number of flaws in his argument, rendering it unconvincing. First, the author assumes that Centerville High School students should take driver’s program because several accidents in and around Centerville have involved teenagers. However, the evidence the author needs to provide that the accidents may have been caused only by Centerville High School students.

This proposal will focus on making parking spaces on and near campus easier to find for students who have to drive to campus every day.

Too often, these students are forced with two choices: to park in a space reserved for University faculty and risk getting a parking ticket, or to drive around campus looking for a commuter-designated space and risk being late for class.

    The author begins by acknowledging Dallas's progress in terms of park space but quickly emphasizes the city's shortcomings. The author focuses on the areas the city needs to improve. By using logos to appeal to the reader's sense of logic and reason, the author can establish their argument's credibility and legitimacy. In addition, the author uses pathos to humanize the problem of accessible park space by insinuating that some people in Dallas do not live within walking distance of a park suited for recreational activities. The author can appeal to the reader's emotions and make the subject feel more urgent and personal by presenting it in this

    This can be done instead with classroom management and student engagement strategies. For example, if a student is skipping class, then the student receives a phone call the same day. Then a staff member will get in contact with the student, and determine why the student was absent and then issue a detention for his or her unexcused class absence. He also mentions how the school has changed the way teachers grade homework. The teachers no longer grade homework based on completion but now on accuracy, and the following day the teachers give quizzes based on the assigned homework from the previous night to guarantee that the students fully understand the concept before taking the summative

As more and more people came back, failing, I was growing more and more concerned and worried about how I was going to do, and if I was going to pass. I went through it in my head a million times as I waited, I told myself over and over that I could do it, and that I was a good driver, but nothing could reassure me as I saw for what seemed like the 50th person come out of their cars upset, giving their parents the wheel.
