In a transitional setting, a university will have instructors who will lecture all semester long and have you complete two tests; one mid-term and a final exam. As well as have a set time and place for the aforementioned lecture to take place. In some universities attendance is not a requirement. They want you to pass the test in the middle and at the end of the year. You could be in a class with as many as two-hundred plus people which makes it almost impossible for the instructor to reach out to students who are having a hard time.
In an online or virtual setting, flexibility is not only a strength but a weakness. (Chambers, 2016). Cindy Chambers is correct in saying that many students find that they would not have the guidance or structure

(2016). Welcome to Bethel University. Orientation to Online Learning, 7.
Three skills I bring to the program, that will help me on my academic journey are, writing, research and communication. In accordance with my chosen profession these three skills will get you further than knowledge. In the following paragraphs I will further elaborate on three skills that I will bring with me on this academic journey as well as depict several talents that need to be developed.
My first skill is writing. I love writing. Whether creatively, academically, or just writing down my thoughts and emotions just to get a better understanding; writing to me is almost like an addiction. This program happens to be a writing based program which is refreshing. However, writing academically can sometimes be mind-numbing and tedious; except for when writing on a topic of interest. Unfortunately we are not always able to write about what we want and must write about what was assigned. In either case writing has always been one of my strongest

Research is fun, it’s like going for a scavenger hunt only the world wide web has your answer. In my profession, research is vital, laws change all the time and lawmakers do not have time to send you email updates. You must be able to find which law applies to your case and make sure it is the most up to date. If you do something repetitively over time, eventually, you get really good at it. Research was a learned skill, but It is a talent that is a strength for
What is the main thing that students look at before attending a school? Tuition fees. Everyone have a tendency of looking at the tuition fee and setting there life goal if they should spend that much just to attend school. On a Tulsa Community College site, the publisher of “Cost of Attendance” asserts that TCC offers the cheapest fee’s. As the publisher of the site, they state That the “Tuitions fees are $2,800” the “Book and Supplies are $1,560” the “Rooms are $8,694” the “Boards are $2,367” and “Transportation is $1,178”. These are by far the lowest prices to be observed for a high school senior. Tulsa Community College is really doing it’s best to help and support their students. You save a lot of money with these kinds of prices. Now turning
I believe each and every student is capable of learning and achieving academic success, however some children require individualized support to ensure their success. A strength I posses that supports high academic expectations for all Houston ISD students is my ability to motivate and empower young children of all types to want to be successful. I am committed to creating a classroom culture where high expectations are set and most importantly constantly communicated to students. I have the ability to lead and differentiate engaging lessons where the diverse learning needs of all students are supported. I am a teacher that believes high academic expectations will be met when lessons are presented in a way that suits all learning styles. I use classroom management strategies to set students up for success.
During the Fall semester of my junior year in my Biotechnology pathway, I gained the opportunity to take City College courses as part of the dual enrollment program at my high school. I enrolled into the Briefings in Biotechnology class (BTEC 5), via my teacher, in order to scope at the potential of biotechnology from external sources.
When I was seven, I had to witness my older brother be kicked out of the house. This was such a traumatizing experience because my older brother was my role model. Additionally, as a young child, my little sister and I were frequently home alone due to my parents always working double shifts. Thus, once my brother left, I had to take on his responsibilities; consequently, I learned how to be a leader at a young age. This experience has allowed me to develop values such as excellence, leadership, truth and service that will contribute to the vision and legacy of Howard University.
The Wayne State University School of Medicine has become a top choice medical school for myself due to their focuses on leadership in medicine, community mentoring and outreach, and service based learning. Centered within the urban and evolving city of Detroit, the Wayne State University School of Medicine affords its students the chance to receive their education in, and provide service within, a very rich and diverse patient population. Being immersed within, experiencing, and understanding the diversities of others allows for students and professionals alike to find their identities, meanings, and purposes through connections with people in all walks of life. In this way, Wayne State has the ability to offer its medical students an unparalleled
After moving into Concordia College on August 21st of 2015, many things in my life have changed. Some of these things include: becoming a college student, living on my own, changing my habits, and becoming more independent. These changes have been for the better and is helping to develop me into a young man.
My personal experience as an undergraduate has shaped and shifted my career path and interests as it does for some traditional undergraduates, but for me it was not particular class or passionate professor that inspired my new found interest, but rather, my experience outside the classroom. My interaction with the staff at Arizona State University and my involvement as a student leader has had a profound influence on my college experience and has driven me to pursue a career in higher education.
I never imagined myself transferring, it just wasn’t part of my plan, and habitually when transformation or transitioning occur, I adapt. Usually. As my reserved personality highlights, I’ve never been one to take extraordinary risks or be bold when something isn’t quite right. But during this first year of my college experience, being bold is becoming more substantial to my success.
In the year of 2016, the average tuition, room, and board prices for a student enrolled full time at a public four year college and universities in the state they live in is $17,123. For many decades parents have often paid an excessive amount needed for their their child’s college tuition and other necessities. Although attending a college a university may seem the best option, community college has a number of advantages that include the educational and financial opportunities.
Any college student will tell you that the only downside to learning is the homework. Sometimes the homework can get overwhelming, to the point that you stress out and don't do it to your full potential. I am in my second year, and I have learned with trial in error the main points that can and will help make doing your homework a lot easier, and will help with your grade too. First and foremost, organization is essential. Organize all your papers for one class in one folder, and have separate folders for each class. There are also folder books that have six or more folders in one, these work just as well. This will help in having all your important papers together, and will not cause you to mix up or loose any of them. When you keep them
This previous fall term, was my first semester at Pierce College. I was rather excited to finally start college, until it was time to finally register for my classes. During registration, I could get only three out of the four classes I had needed. The fourth and final class was Chemistry 60, which had no available units. Since there were no available units and the ones that did become available, were at unpleasant times (such as 6:30pm to 9:45pm and so forth).
Writing. I believe I know a thing or two about writing, I am able to create a text that successfully accomplish its purpose. But i also have numerous flaws and mistakes.
I have only been a Gwynedd Mercy University student for just nine months now and I have already learned so much. This school has changed the person I was before in high school for the better and I could not be more thankful. Gwynedd Mercy University has a distinct heritage that many other schools do not get to experience. When these next three years are over and I become a Distinctive Mercy Graduate, it will mean that for the past four years, I have shaped a new identity, gained new values, and discovered new attitudes in life that if I did not attend this university, I would not have gained otherwise.
I chose those three skills because all three benefit to reach my goal of graduating with my diploma and becoming a therapist. Motivation is what is the driving force for me coming back to school, getting good grades, graduating and earning my diploma for all of my hard work. Persuasion is my second skill i chose that one because graduating from college and talking and listening to my professors and some of my advisors and couselors and myself encouraging me to work hard, never give up and staying focused and go ahead and earn that diploma. And lastly, communication talking with my family, friends, teachers, students and advisors and
My capability that I originally choose at the beginning of the year to focus on was communication. I think I have developed this skill from the beginning of the year, inside and outside of school. Organising an Easter egg collection with a group highlighted the importance of communicating with those around you to be efficient. I also now have a part time job where communication is vital between everyone at the workplace including customers to keep it running properly. In the future I can still work on communicating my own thoughts and ideas and listening more carefully to what others say to avoid missing
