Algebra 1 Class Analysis

When in the classroom learning is something that is like a seesaw. The ups and downs come with some classes more than others. The classes that I have found my most ups and downs are English, math, and science. When learning you can not just keep failing by not seeking help. These are the most challenging classes stem from one of these subjects, but there is always a way to make it through with these three steps; finding the situation, assessing it, and seeking help.

It’s approaching midnight, the room is scattered with papers, and the only audible sound is the clicking of your pencil on the paper. You’ve been up for hours trying to finish your homework, which all seems so repetitive. You question how beneficial completing this homework actually is. A routine you all know too well. Homework has been a highly discussed topic for years. Everyone questions the benefits and reward. People should be informed about homework and the effects it actually has. Homework just causes stress, doesn't always help us learn the material, and doesn't prove to be helpful in standardized testing.

HSC 3550 is one of the most important upper division classes for the students of Health Science major. I learned a lot from this class like legal and ethical issues that come along with U.S health system. I was totally unaware of the many facts of our health system and now I have enough knowledge to talk about. I have started reading online news and blogs about our health system and its legal and ethical matters. Two-class presentation was very helpful as well, that helped me to master at least those two chapters for sure. Some of the instructions or I can say our prompts were very complicated and nuanced for our individual paper, it was hard to understand and no proper instructions were given from where to begin. Journals totally messed

Once they arrive in class, they will place the homework face down in the paper tray for the correct class period. These trays will be located at the back of the classroom and be clearly marked to ensure students are well aware of what basket is for their class. Students will be responsible for making sure that their name and the correct date is on the homework; if students do not write their name on the paper, they will not get credit for the assignment. Students who do not have their homework for whatever reason will be responsible for filling out a “missing homework” document on which they must list the class period, date and assignment missed, as well as the reason they do not have their work. Blank copies of this form will be located next to the homework tray. Once students have filled out the document, they will turn it into the tray like any other assignment. This will allow me to keep clear documentation regarding student work for future questions or concerns from parents or administrators. All of this needs to be completed before the bell rings to signal the beginning of class, as I will collect it during the first 5 minutes while students are working on bell work posted on the

A Class Divided, written by William Peterson in 1987, exposed racial behavior in young Caucasian classmates, who were victims of indoctrination by general cultural ideals of White Supremacy. These ideologies that were used as psychological tactics to destruct and intimidate other ethnic groups that weren’t of European descent in the United States. Ideologies such as su-periority and inferiority concepts have been convinced throughout centuries of civilization. Ma-jority of people are highly in favor of Americanization from fear of oppression, inferiority and difference. The way Americans interact with other people, and how people are portrayed within different ethnic groups have always been a national controversy. It has become a social construct

In the film A Class Divided by William Peters, Jane Elliot is interviewed about an exercise she had created in her third grade class after the death of Martin Luther King Jr. Elliot’s purpose of creating this exercise was to help mold her students minds in not only understanding the current events in America, but also having them experience for a fraction what African Americans are forced to go through on a daily basis. In her exercise she divides her students into two groups.

I do not agree to place my emotional fragile daughter in a larger class as she was having a large amount of difficulty handling the 8:3 class she was already in; she is having regular meltdowns whereas she has never even had one before starting school. Alexia was evaluated by multiple specialists who all agreed that an appropriate setting for her was no more than an 8:3 class. None of her doctor evaluations and reports is outdated as they are all less than a year old, with the most current one’s being in March of 2015. Although you have stated that no one in the school ever saw her have a meltdown; before starting school her doctors were aware that she had never had a meltdown nor threw a tantrum and even so still recommended a class no larger

I thought that knowing that things were supposed to become easier now for me in a harder class. I’ve earned this spot in this class is what I keep saying to myself, but everyday I wasn't so sure and anymore, it has now only been 3 weeks in this class and I’ve been drowning from the start of this paper. One thing that really just dawned on me is that, I’ve always been marginalized in school, intelligence wise, which is not surprising at all. In Glenville as a freshman, I think I’ve always been trying to fit in as soon as I got there, but back lashes like ¨you think you're better than everyone else¨ and ¨you're too smart¨. The dominant discourse there was very noticeable, which was a bunch of kids who don't really care about school, for reason I was really trying to be that but they knew and I knew I didn't

Classmates may remember me as the quiet girl at first who was energetic around her friends. They may not have known that the reason I remained quiet was out of respect. Respect for their education and of course, for my teacher’s time. After class was a fine enough time to make jokes.

One of the classes I think I've grown in is Algebra 1 because in the beginning of the year I wasn't understanding what the teacher was teaching. Well I was but I didn't know how to do the problem. Until I studied and studied until I finally got how to do the problem and I kept on studying to get the future problems. Another class I've grown in is Biology because I didn't pay attention in class when the teacher was talking and I didn't write down notes so when the quiz or test came I was struggling on the assessment. I have gotten a better habit of writing down notes and pay attention when the teacher is talking. Or when the teacher is explaining how to do a problem or a project we have to do so I wont be struggling a lot while doing my work.

I am an overachiever, branded a 'nerd' and 'try-hard' by my classmates with various degrees of bitterness. I never minded being called either name, because they were both true. I owned them and wore them like badges of honor. For three years I also held the title of top of the class. I became comfortable with my situation, on the top, with high grades and mental satisfaction.

It was eight fifty-five when I entered the lobby of Drexel Plaza to go to my class: Introduction to Math Analysis 101. I walked to classroom fifteen not expecting anything. I never expect anything anyway in an easy math class required for all nursing students. It may have also been because I am a confirmed nerd. In the school setting, people are divided into groups or categories. Students are characterized by a specific characteristic that defines them into a subgroup of school identity and status. There is the nerd group, the geek squad, the jocks, the dramatics, the clown, the teacher’s pet and the list goes on. Throughout school, I tried my best to not fall into any category. I was well-rounded and did not focus on one specific activity. I just wanted to be a boring, random student that was invisible. Little did I know, however, that I would be placed into a group with one single event.

In the beginning of the film A Class Divided, Jane Elliott asked the children in her class if there were people in the U.S. that are not typically treated like our brothers. The children were quick to respond that Blacks and Indians are not treated as brothers and are referred to as stupid, dumb or niggers. I was a little shocked by this as the 1970’s do not seem to have been all that long ago. If a Caucasian child were to use the “N” word in a classroom today, they would most likely face detention or suspension. I was also surprised that even though the kids knew the division of blue eyed and brown eyed kids was an experiment, they seemed to immediately believe the hurtful things the teacher was saying about the brown eyed kids. When I saw

I have always been a good student, all throughout grade school I kept screwing around to a minimum. I’ve always had a good work ethic; I strive to get my work done on time, and to the best of my ability. I would view myself as a contributor to a good academic decorum. Occasionally I’ll pack up early in class, distract the class, but everyone has times like that. I remember a time in 5th grade we were all in class, and the teacher was teaching. My friend said something so funny, so I started laughing, and I couldn’t stop laughing. The teacher told me to stop, but it was just too funny to stop. That is one example of one of the times I was demonstrating a bad example of academic decorum. A good example of me having aa academic decorum was in 6th grade at the last

I have always been taught that I am a student before anything else, simply because education is the key to success later in life. In the classroom, I am typically quiet, unless answering questions from the teacher. Manners and respect have been engrained to me, making it almost impossible to be anything but pleasant toward teachers and adults. Because I am also a perfectionist, I do not allow myself to turn in anything less than my best, no matter the assignment or situation. Perfectionism also causes me to be exceptionally organized and punctual, qualities that have led to my academic achievements. With these qualities that most people claim to be “ideal”, I typically make friends with other academic achievers, simply because I have had countless experiences in which other kids resent me being “perfect”, “a teacher’s pet”, or “a know-it-all”. Over time though, I have learned to embrace those words and accept them as part
