COM 100 Class Reflection

I’m definitely not the best student in the world, but I sure am one of the hardest working students I know. It was very easy to find me because I was always either at work, school, home, taking care of my grandma, or babysitting. I definitely had my head screwed on tight. I do believe that because I was/am taking care of so many people and trying to help my parents out financially, my grades have slipped quicker than I anticipated. I took on two study halls my junior year, and am taking on two study halls my senior year also. This definitely dropped my grade point average but I don’t regret it. I spend my study halls tutoring the students at my school. I specifically tutor for the Writing center and when I’m not tutoring for that, I’m helping

Time flies, the first term of my freshmen year is almost to the end. When I first got into college, I didn't know what to do as a college student. It was hard during the first two weeks of my freshmen year. Not to mention, It was right after a long summer's vacation. I was extremely lazy about everything and couldn't focus on school work. After almost failing my first mid-term, I realized I need to focus on studying. I began to get back on track and finished work before the deadline. As time passed, I could still remember when I first got into the Freshmen Inquiry class I was struggling and now my Freshmen Inquiry class is working on our last project of the term and our group is doing great. During Freshmen Inquiry class, I learned many things.

How many hours of work per day or per week did you generally put into the course?

This is my midterm exam for IDS 1300 course that I didn't think I would do that great one. I studied the texts; however, when it came down the the exam, I wasn't confident in my writing and ability to connect the ideas. It wasn't difficult to match the passage to the work, but I questioned myself on expanding on the topic. Thus, I began running out of time by the second to last question, and so I began to rush and become sloppy. It seems as though that wasn't the case at all since I scored a perfect score.

The last semester was really good because some classes were fun but the other classes were okay because it was really boring.The classes that I am doing really good is all my classes but biology and cultural geography class because I didn't do my work in class because I really didn't care about my grade but now I do my work because it is important because if I don't pass the classes I am going to fail in my classes because if I don't work I am not going to be promoted.I am doing my work and doing homework because I really care now but I know I made a mistake when I started school because I didn't do any of the homework or work in class I would get distracted easily.I am most proud that I got my grades up and I have a 2.00 gpa because I have

My classes are going well so far better than last semester. I'm doing good in all my classes but English and Culture Geography. The reason my grades are low in those classes are because I missed one assignment or I failed a test in that particular class. The reason I am passing the rest of my classes is because I am doing my homework and I am completing all the assignments do in that class. I will try to continue doing well in those classes by completing my work and by keep asking questions in class. The habits of the heart in mind I use are different from the first semester because now all I want to do is be satisfied with myself so I use effort, care, and think. Some changes I can do with the classes I'm failing in are keep studying and try

Early junior year was a very rough time for me when it comes to the gradebook. The first semester of the 2016-2017 year I ended up with two F’s, two D’s, a B+ and a C-, which was very, very bad. I realized this was not what I was capable of and it was not anywhere near my best work. My parents were disappointed with my actions. It was instilled in me at a young age by my parents that school ALWAYS comes first. My theater director who taught me all throughout high school was disappointed in me, and my soccer coach was disappointed in me.

Business Recitation 1000 class has been such a great experience and expanded my knowledge with the excel program while also incorporating the use of excel to create the PowerPoint in class helped me to know the program better. This learning experience will definitely advance my knowledge in excel as well as assist me to prepare for the corporate world where these skills are used in day to day basis. Professor Williamson, you mentioned in the content section restating that this class went through some major reconstruction from being a communication based where students were required to do a presentation about the choice of their company for 30 minutes and writing a 15 page term paper to mostly excel based class now. I believe that these changes were needed and it really helped me expand my familiarity with excel to knowing exactly how to work with the program including profit and expense analysis, Income statement, bar chart, line chart,

I was wondering i f you received my email, I am really interested in your class, I had taken a few FCS classes before and I enjoy them and learned so much about working with children and families, that is why I wanted to end my semester with a class that I feel I can succeed and enjoy. Please if you can let me know if you have any space available I would greatly appreciated.

The first semester was fantastic. This semester is beyond compare to any I have had till this point. I gave my utmost while talking every class, and as a result, my grades have shown to prove that statement correct. I have cultivated a three-point-seven grade point average. In my Civil Engineering & Architecture class, I have received a eighty-nine which bothered me for a while, but I learned to accept what I deserved. Something I am proud of this school is having perfect attendance, and being able to stay on task. This has helped me maintain great grades. For the rest of the semester I would like to improve is asking for assistance whenever it is needed.

My favorite chapter in OADM 105 class was chapter seven which was about Customer Service. All information provided in this chapter was very beneficial and interesting to me. The learning objectives and develop workplace skills were interesting and easy to do with understandable facts included. Learning objectives covered the whole chapter with only a few questions which we could save the time and get the whole point of the chapter easily. The reason I liked this chapter the most was that I worked in the customer service in the past; therefore, I wanted to learn more the skills I did not know in the past. In this chapter, I found out new and some known information about customer service. For instance, who are the external and internal customer,

This year I feel like I have done a lot of things well. I have participated in class actively and gave a good contribution to the class. I feel like I have respected my classmates and listened to their opinions. I feel that I am using the skills that I have learned in this class, and using them in my other classes successfully. I use marginal notes in my biology class to help me summarize, or ask questions about what I just read. Now that the year is going on, I am able to comprehend more complex texts. I think that my in-class discussion skills about the texts are what I am really doing well at. When the year first started I struggled with blackboard posts. I didn’t know what to say or what information I was supposed to pull out of the texts.

College was nothing compared to high school, it has been an enormous change in my life. It has been more challenging as a whole, and it requires a decent amount of independent work to do outside work. Compared to in high school I didn’t have to do much outside of school at all. The way my high school teachers taught are dramatically different compared to my college professors. My teachers schedule several of assignment and project in a day which to me is a change that I just need to get used to. The classes I am taking right now I have been surprising well, I have been keeping up with all the professor class and I haven’t fallen behind like I expected. The only class I am worried about is my English 90 class, I was never an excellent writer but I do believe that I am improving, I do feel like I would be more successful if my English class had a SI every week. After reading Deems chapter twelve I have learned three concepts that will help me next semester in my English 101 class those are reviewing my notes or reading, survey my assignment, and read and mark the books we will be reading.

Last year was my first year of college. Freshmen year as a transition for me from High School to College, I don’t think I did well in adjusting to college life. I’m regretting lots thing I could have done, but I didn 't. I wish I could be like other ordinary students live in the dorm, they have more opportunities to involve school’s activity, and more chances to get to know more people. As a freshman in college, I was scared about failing my classes so I tried my best to work on every assignment in order to have a good grade. However I still had all kinds of new experiences, like driving by myself to school, a new kind of teaching system and meeting new friends. I had many interesting assignments from all my class, but my English 10M class was the class that helped me improve on my writing. In my English 10M class we had many essay assignments and we were required to do at least three drafts before turning it in. We also had a chance to do peer review and get feedback from professors, which helped a lot for me to understand where I made mistakes and what I needed to work on. After taking an English 10M class, I had unforgettable essay experiences and I learned a lot from it.

This second reflection period has been different from the first in that the defacto divides among those in the class have been realigned. Furthermore, this reflection period has enabled many factors of my classmate’s identities to become apparent. While I believe the topics were less controversial during this period, I believe that the selected readings and a greater degree of variation in my classmate’s opinions made this period much more disputed. Additionally, the topics reviewed have ushered to the forefront several students who until now had remained in the background. I count myself among the students who became more comfortable and assured during this reflection period. By now, I am pretty confident that I have gotten to know my classmates well enough to relatively understand the components of their identities that impact their perspectives. In the same manner, I believe that I have been able to participate in these topics more frequently and have thus presented more of my own identity to my classmates. This change in classroom dynamics and the relevance of the readings to my own identity has thus impacted my ability to be more substantive – a key goal I had for this second reflection period. While my classmates have still occasionally questioned the relevance of my responses to the readings, I am confident that my participation has greatly increased during this period.
