I also examine how boundaries influence the collective identity of students entering an occupation segmented into various specialties. For example, I analyze the symbolic boundaries involved in the gendering of animals, practitioners, and professions. Using a symbolic interactionist perspective, my research extends the body of knowledge on species boundaries by revealing other consequences of this boundary work. The boundaries between different animal species produce consequences for the treatment of those animals this has been well documented. Specifically, I examine how tracking produces multiple boundaries for veterinary students. In this dissertation, I use 42 in-depth qualitative interviews with veterinary medical students to explore the experience of being in an educational program that tracks students based on the species of non-human animals that they wish to treat. Tracking "Large" or "Smal": Boundaries and their Consequences for Veterinary Students within the Tracking System This report presents the findings of a research project on the use of management-information systems in student tracking. The Further Education (FE) sector in the United Kingdom has devoted time, energy, and resources in recent years to the development and improvement of information systems known as management-information systems. Generally, this project is fully functional and we hope it can help Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) to overcome the problem of paperwork missing and location of the paperwork.įurther Education Development Agency, London (England). Thus, it is preventing the submitter to call the department all the time. With this system, it makes the tracking process become efficient and reliable to know the paperwork at the exact location. This system is capable of checking their location status tracking using mobile apps and Google Docs. After that, the submitter received the URL link and be directed to the web server and mobile apps. While the system involved the development of database using Google Docs that linked to the web server. At each checkpoint, the RFID Reader was placed on the secretary desk. The project consists of NFC tags, RFID Reader, and mobile apps. The prototype of this system involved the hardware and software. Thus, this project was purposed as an alternative to solve the waiting time of the paperwork location status. The submitter needs to call the student affairs department to get the information about the location status of the paperwork.
Nevertheless, the user cannot know the location status of the paperwork immediately because of the inefficient manual system.
The process took around a month to get full approval from the department because of many procedures that need to be done. The current problem faced by the user is the process of approval paperwork takes around a month or more. Student paperwork tracking system or known as SPATRASE was developed to ease the user to track the location status of the paperwork. This paper focused on a system for tracking the status of the paperwork using the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and mobile apps. Students paperwork tracking system (SPATRASE) Chapter 1 provides background information on tracking and the FE sector.
It is designed for British funding bodies, further education (FE) colleges, college staff, and software developers to introduce and support systems of student tracking. This report explains how student tracking systems work and why they are important.
