A Wide Subject Reach

'....exploration may be essential in order to create a basis for offering further help, for example by using other strategies such as goal setting or action planning.'

OBJECTIVE: Students will be able to analyze a series of sources related to the causes and effects of exploration and answer questions.

In the novel "What the Best College Students Do" by Ken Bain he states that learning is not only discovering new abilities, it is putting a creative twist into it (p. 4). He places Paul Baker (a professor that taught Integration of Abilities) in this story because he emphasizes what Bain is trying to convey (pp. 2-3). Baker states that "This is a class in discovering your own creative ability and all you will have to help you with your discovery is yourself and getting acquainted with the way you work" (p. 4). Everybody has different viewpoints because everyone has different backgrounds, therefore, creativity is not only a want it is a necessity. To deeply learn something, students needs to have a

Because it is the teacher’s job to guide the students through the course, I thought it would make sense that the teacher first allows students to learn what the content is through Bloom’s levels of remembering and understanding and then move onto evaluating and creating, where students can learn even more and determine what is real and what is not.

This was by far the most challenging course that I have encountered while obtaining my Master’s Degree in Educational Technology from UCMO. That is not a negative comment as this course has actually impacted me professionally more than any other course I’ve taken to date. This course has taken more time to complete the assignments, more of my attention to detail, and more of my creativity. The last point was the best part about this course. I consider myself to be fairly creative and this course definitely allowed me to do that while bringing my somewhat odd personality to a professional forum. For this I am grateful. Let’s get to the good stuff, shall we?

Observable through students attending Mount St. Joseph, depict a lot of substantial feedback for these programs and has helped mold the level of elite education in this field of industry. Through the observations, Mount St. Joseph has one of the most modern and developed strategy of teaching this topic that is modified for each student based on the best ways for them to learn. Across the span of time, it is accumulated that students have evolved into more of a hands on kind of learning. In retrospect, Mount St. Joseph has associated its class work, and assignments with visual and hands on activities. After comparing notes of learning method scores with variations of master’s subject understanding and undergraduate subject

Yet, UCSB’s goals emulate some Naturalist theory as seen in their mission statement. Their mission statement states that each student and faculty member will experience an “educational journey of discovery that stimulates independent thought, critical reasoning, and creativity... [through] interdisciplinary collaboration that is responsive to the needs of our multicultural and global society” (Mission Statement). Naturalists goals denies specificity and are unclear to each member divulging a different academic path for each student or faculty member (Sutton 1/20/11). By looking at an aggregate level, UCSB members work together to achieve that “educational journey of creativity”, but on an individual level, each member has varying goals for his or herself depending on his or her role. Students do not have the same goals as their professors or the Chancellor, their goal is to work to achieve their degree whereas the Chancellor’s goal is to provide a thought-provoking experience for his students. The mission state accommodates and supplies a different experience for each member because it is ambiguous. UCSB members must explore their own path to achieve their own goals to understand what their education and careers meant. Naturalist goals determine

For nearly 138 years, Brenau University has continued to uphold its slogan Extraordinary Lives. When I first stepped foot on Brenau’s campus in 2012, I wouldn’t have fathomed that four years later, this institution would shape me into the successful woman I am today. Prior to attending Brenau, I had always struggled with understanding who I was and where I belonged. Once I became a student at Brenau, I began to join organizations such as Student Activities Board and Student Government Association, and consequently, I have reached a social and academic success peak I never believed I would be able to achieve. If you are a first year college student or are transferring to a different institution, I advise you to take Brenau University into consideration.

Imagine world that is bland, along with its individuals all the selfsame. In result of the reprehension of creative courses in academia. That previously mentioned world would soon become an actuality. When budget cuts were accruing in my school district; I remembered my fine arts teachers were petrified that not only their department would cease to exist but they would no longer have an occupation. There is a constant reminder of how paramount the sciences and mathematics are; but the fine arts such as music, ceramics, art, and all the other courses that allow creative freedom are important as well.

The expansive range of scholastic offices and projects at the college gives chances to adaptability, boundless investigation and interdisciplinary cooperation.

The level of education required to pursue these careers is subjective to the position that is to be held by an individual. This explores the notion of having a lower education, yet being considered a professional. The knowledge learned from another source, begins to question the reason behind why companies are screening individuals based on education. Intelligence stems further than academics-that the means to gain knowledge are available through many sources. An educational institution is not the only method in gaining knowledge. The decision to have students decide what level of education they will go to pursue is a suggestive notion in determining where they may end up in the future. The choice between a college education, or university education, doing a placement, or just entering the work sphere directly become a decision that influences the course of a person's

Johns Hopkins promotes this crazy idea that students should be free to explore, and in the process innovate something amazing. The academic arena being my inner-child’s playground, I turn Hopkins to nurture the mania. With no core curriculum, I smell freedom, a whole lot of sweet freedom. I can learn with greater depth and thoroughness, and while science is my motive, humanities is my means; translating for my family’s medical functions and growing up with both western and oriental medicine have shown me their

An interdisciplinary study is a degree plan that allows for students to incorporate different field of studies to construct an academic field they are interested in. Throughout these studies, students are to research in understanding the knowledge of complex problems within their field of studies. Many people outside of these studies conceive that interdisciplinary is not beneficial over a single discipline. In my beliefs, interdisciplinary studies can benefit in how different fields and different approaches can intervene together. When two different fields are combined they can enhance your knowledge by using your skills in; different field approaches, hiring, and give a broader understanding of the full learning concept between two field

As we begin to encompass the idea of discovery, we are open to new opportunities and experiences that have the potential to be fresh and intensely meaningful in ways which may be emotional, creative, intellectual, physical and spiritual. Discovery can be viewed as a journey that all through life are presented with. Their undertaking and acceptance of the circumstances they are faced with, will mould and shape their views accordingly.
