7. What summer experience has been of significance to you? Why?
Summer of 2017 at Cornell’s condensed 6 weeks semester with credit, taught by their professors was a sheer pleasure.
It gave me a true preview of the college experience.
I learn to speak with not talk to my professors and teaching assistants when I needed help and to discuss class topics to further my knowledge by exploring the topics with them in conversations.
I learned to plan, such as checking my email frequently for posted assignments a week before they were due, instead of a day, like in high school.
I had to learn to manage my time more effectively.
No adult or parents telling me what to do; I was completely free.
The Cornell Summer College allowed me to gain the responsibility that comes with real freedom.
8. Have you traveled to or lived in different localities? If so, where?
My parents have always adhered to our seeing the USA. Our travels have been on holidays, when our parents have conventions, and a combination of exploring America’s historic sites, national monuments, learning about history through museums, unique settings such as Sturbridge Village, and seeing colleges.
As my resume shows I have been to Vermont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, California (both the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas), Illinois (Chicago), Rhode Island, Arizona, Maryland (Baltimore), and Florida. Winter weather and friends have made our international
One of the interesting facts about these videos to me is that University of Phoenix produced and used challenge coin without the approval from the military just to trick veterans to believe that Department of Defense has looked and examined that organization and authorized them in some way to provide them with the
I had surprisingly learned a few new things that I didn't learn in the previous school year while in summer school. Each subject had educated me in satisfying ways. The most interesting things I was taught, were facts on poetry, information about Frederick Douglass, and an American dream that has changed over time. These subjects stood out the most to me because I found them really enlightening. They gave me a glimpse of new literature, leadership, and troubling lifestyles.
Having effective communication can help discussions in the class as well me being more open with class mates when it comes to the course work.
We would like to congratulate your office on the first successful year of operating and maintaining Ryerson’s Student Learning Centre. When the announcement was made that Ryerson would be adding this state of the art facility to our campus we as students were ecstatic to experience a learning space which was truly unique. Although the Student Learning Centre has been extremely beneficial to all students Ryerson Students this far, we believe the space has not been used to its full potential.
I have learned how to ask better questions and to talk to my teachers when I need help or do not understand the concept well. I make sure that I have a relationship with my teachers and introduce myself at the beginning of each semester. Learning how to communicate with my teachers
I grew up a military child, so it’s always awkward when someone asks me: “Where are you from?” I don’t really know, I can’t pinpoint an exact place where I can say: “I’m from so-and-so.” I can tell you where my family spent a lot time though, where the memories are the deepest, and the places I felt a strong connection to. I don’t remember much about the places we were before. We stayed a year, maybe two. I can tell you about Maryland and my connection to the bay. I can tell you about crabbing on Solomon’s Island, and the wild adventures through the forests of Maryland. I was young then, and the memories aren’t as vivid as they are of Alaska though.
Now I have realized all my past mistakes and am able to fix them as much as I can. it was rough at first, actually studying at home when I wanted to do something more fun, but now it is easy and I have become a very fast studier. It helps me understand the subject and not just forget right after the
Although this is my second semester at Liberty University I have already completed the APOL and BIBL course which are required for my degree. As this would conclude the required Bible courses, I just hope to gain knowledge of a different aspect of the Bible. From my experience from the classes I have taken with Liberty University this far I realize that knowledge of the Bible is expected and I hope this course sets me up with more tools to complete various assignments. Through my prior courses this past summer I gained a refresher on things which I learned throughout high school and this course is something that I have actually never taken before. With it being new I just hope it brings insight into topics that are current and hopefully I
In the beginning of the year I was not filling out my planner, but now at the end of the school year I am. This helped in the sense that I could now look back on my assignments, and not have to go off of memory. I saw a different aspect of myself, I was getting fewer missing assignments. One other way I changed academically, is that when studying I had trouble remembering facts. They would get mixed up, and words would jumble together, though this still happens, I found a new way to study. I would re-write things over and over again; it really helped with remembering different
After taking this summer class I learned a lot on how to help me improve at Luther college. Even though the NHCC professor was not the best professor I learned to still ask for help and her advice even though it wasn’t the best. Before the first test in this summer I asked the SASC department for advice for note taking and test taking. They listed a few websites and I looked at them. I used their suggestions when taking notes from my textbook. I also used outside sources for help, Kjresten helped me make note cards and practice taking tests. Her notecards helped and showed me a way to make a game out of a picture chart that I will be seeing in other classes at Luther. Now, I can use that technique to help study the graphs. To continue the success
I guess being at University of Delaware will be one of the most exciting journeys I will ever have. The rigorous course curriculum, highly experienced faculty and the mesmerizing beauty of the campus has hypnotized my senses. Even picturing myself working with the enthusiastic Blue hens, working on real life projects in Internships, experiencing an entirely new way of learning at study abroad programs, and realizing that sky is the limit at UD makes me grin like a Cheshire cat. I will feel more comfortable in the class than outside the classroom. Being a student from a small country I won’t be accustomed with the US culture like small talk, liberal views, dating etiquettes and lot more which will make me a bit uncomfortable outside the classroom.
study a lot. Also, I struggled with my time management because I could not figure
Prior to accepting my nomination into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, I was hesitant on the legitimacy of the organization because the opportunities provided appeared to be too spectacular. After I accepted the nomination and learned a little bit about the organization at the first meeting held at Iowa state, I was intrigued about what other information I could learn from the induction ceremony about the society. I wanted to know more about the experiences of other active students within the society and how exactly the society helped them. Learning from others and hearing their stories is a great way for me to be able to properly form an open opinion about the NSCS, which helped me to understand what the goals of the organization
The first time I went abroad was when my parents took me to see their home country, Viet Nam. Unfortunately, I was only two years old at the time and now I am left with no memories of it. In a way, I have no actual experience of going out of the country. I have never been on my own for more than three day and that was only going out of state with friends or for a college visit.
What I didn’t learn from my highschool class is how to properly set goals. I didn’t know that there was a process and I didn’t realize how helpful it is writing down goals and physically seeing them. I was able to learn S.M.A.R.T goals which helps you structure your goals to a achievable standard. I also learned the different types of goals like long term, short term, and immediate. I learn how important goal setting can be and how it helps you better achieve them.
