My Grade Analyze I transferred to San Jose State University from Berkeley City College last fall. Therefore, I have received grads only for one semester so far. As I followed the advice from the school advisor, I took four classes for the first semester in this university. Honestly, I wasn’t expected how hard it would be compare to the city college experiences because I am a full-time student without work. I am a very hard working student who keep A grades on most of class. I believed that I have enough time to study and follow four classes. I took classes, Accounting Information System, Intermediate Accounting I, Business systems and Policy, and Global Dimensions of Business. I earned three A minus and one B grades in fall 2016. My worst grade was B on Accounting Information System, Business 1 120A so far. I still remember when I took the first midterm in class. I studied very hard as always, but I received a lower score than I was expected. Then, I tried harder next time to make sure that I would get over 90%, still I didn’t have enough time to review or think deeply. English is my second language. It takes time to understand questions sometimes. This class’s exam was one of a hard one which most student don’t leave early because it takes time to complete all questions on

Intermediate accounting class was difficult but that is my major. So, I was more into it when I studied. Business System and Policy class was more details and memorizing for exams which is my weak point. Even though I got A because there were lab scores which it helped to keep my grade better. I’ve never missed any deadlines and assignments. Last one was Global Dimensions of Business. This was quite interesting class because I am interested in other countries. We had a presentation about other countries’ business styles as a team. I usually like working as a team because I could meet new people and easier way to know
Transferring to California State University, Sacramento was the most optimal decision that I have made recently this year and so far, it has been an enjoyable yet compelling one because of the helpful environment around me. Compared to the other two colleges I attended in the past in Stockton, California, I believe Sacramento State University has better resources and opportunities to grow as a student. Some of the resources I have utilized here are the Writing Center and PARC, but I plan to branch out and explore many others I have heard about. Although my major is Mechanical Engineering, I still have other classes that I am required to take in order graduate in Spring of 2020, such as English 109W for my undergraduate GWAR. Before entering English 109W, my mind was set on just completing the course and getting a good enough grade to move on to my Writing Intensive course, the last English class I would take in college. I thought that my writing skills were above
Last semester my grade in language arts wasn't good at all.I got a D- i could've gotten an A+
I attended Darton State College during my senior year which helped me earn college credit. In the fall I will officially become a transfer student majoring in Visual and Performing Arts (Music Instrumental and Voice) at the esteemed institution, Savannah State University (SSU). I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to become a student at SSU, because being a first generation college student I know the value of education. During my high school career I maintained my grades, ending with a 3.2 GPA and
After reviewing my grades and courses taken, I struggled with the first class of attending Capella University. I was still transition from what I was used to into something new . In my first course I received a C in which in the Master’s program is not academically acceptable. However the next course I took I received a B in which I felt I completely knew what I was expecting and the course work expectations. The third class I took was described to be one of the hardest classes of the Capella program in which ranged from writing paper, to running data and describing the data. I attended recorded meeting to ensure I had all the help when completing the class. I was .23 percent away from passing the class with an A . I completed the class with
I failed English 1303, and I am so disappointed. I began college with a positive attitude. I knew I struggled with focusing in high school, so I had an idea that college would be a whole new level of struggle stories. I know I put this on myself by hanging out with my friends so often, as well as being super unfocused. Along with these circumstances, my attitude was no help. Throughout the entire semester I felt lazy and unfocused. I didn’t even have to check my grade because I had already given up on the class. Instead of managing my time wisely I let all the deadlines slip right past me. Now I have to deal with taking English 1303 during the summer just to catch up to my class. I know this summer I will stay super focused because the feeling
I transferred to Arizona State University in the last semester, I felt I had a Fulfilling campus life in the whole fall semester. I love the campus environment and wonderful class atmosphere, the people who are in the campus are enthusiastic. In the beginning, I applied W.P Carey Business School as B.S major, however, because I did not reach B.S ‘s requirement, I was admitted by B. A’s major. I did not have SAT score, and my high school did not give students ranking wither, therefore, I could not get in my target major. I thought I did not had SAT score and I was not the most top students in our high school could not reflect my real ability, let me explain several reasons to prove I have enough ability to get in B.S’s majors.
How would I use my unique talents or abilities to address a school or community issue? I as of now am the class president of my 7th grade, Hastings Middle School class. In ways to make my school better, I always attend school officer meetings, and listen to my peer’s wishes and hopes. However, one thing I have learned is the fact that you can only do so much for your school realistically. For example, as of writing this, my school has banned water bottle flipping. Water bottle flipping is something with enough work and dedication, I can change. An example to what I can’t change are school lunches. The school already has a certain food supplier, certain food-related staff, and certain menus. To try to change this would be to disrupt many parts
| Detailed below is a summary of the legislative and regulatory systems that I feel would apply within the teaching environment:
While my GPA is relatively strong throughout the four years of college there is a drop in overall grade performance beginning in sophomore year in college. This was primarily due to my full time job at Verizon. Because of my family’s financial need, I started working for Verizon in December of 2006 and I was done with training and the probationary period in March of 2007. That meant that was of April 1, 2007 I became responsible for hitting a sales quota. I worked 8 – 10 hours a day, 5 days week. My days
As a young child the only school I ever wanted to attend for college was CSU. And when I was accepted into CSU I was ecstatic to attend, especially since I was the first person in my entire family to go to college. As soon as I had reached CSU I decided to try CS as a possible major due to my love for technology and thought programming would be a great step towards a career I wanted to pursue. But unfortunately my grades and GPA had fallen last year and this semester.The reason for my GPA’s drop below a 2.0 was my financial situation with and in school, choosing too many credits for school and working three jobs to pay for school and my apartment.
I returned by a blessing my spring quarter and with my back to the wall I answered myself that I will pass no matter what. I challenged myself and took a look at; for the help I needed. Which I found with Peggy Rose, who set me on a path to success. Which I started taking that quarter with passing all my classes and having a 2.33 GPA. I continued this path in the summer by taking summer courses for I can acquire the remainder of credits I need for the pacing. I know that I’m not finished and will need to not only bring up my GPA, but prepare to declare for my major, and pass writing. There are several tasks that need to be done, I came into UCSC, with how my mom says, “Scratched” mentally and physically. I cannot say to myself oh, I'm not college material. I’m college material that is why this university has accepted me in the first place, they noticed something in my work that seems University of California, Santa Cruz material. I’m here to achieve my dream as a Biology major and to be a pediatrician and nothing will take that away from
I am pleased with my current grade in my English class. I currently have an A in the class and will continue to work hard to keep it that way. The reason for my grade is because I make it a priority to read the chapters assigned in class, attend my lab sessions on Fridays at 9 a.m., along with getting help from tutors here on campus in the Learning Resource Center(LRC). I came into English 1A with the goal of getting an A in the class. With currently holding a high percentage in the class, I need to remain focused, as I know how easy it is for my grade to drop.
In response to the video "Blow Up the Grade Book" these are my thoughts on the matter. With the information that is learned in the classroom really does depend on those who are more motivated than the others to take that information and expand upon it in there own fee time. But I don't see many people like that in todays schools or even in my university. The way to make a system of progression on your own terms seems like a much better way to learn something because you can work at the pace that suits you. Also when it comes to homework most of the time there is not enough background to effectively do if you encounter a simple snag, so getting rid of it and replacing it with something more informative and personal really changes the way take
“Now We Can Begin” an essay by Crystal Eastman is a very powerful essay. Eastman makes the point know in her essay that an honest and true feminist no matter where she stands in the movement she will see to the woman’s fight with strength and courage and how it matters in the future and as well as its difference in its approach for the workers fight for industrial freedom. Eastman state “In fighting for the right to vote most women have tried to be either non-committal or thoroughly respectable on every other subject. Now they can say what they are really after; and what they are after, in common with all the rest of the struggling world, is freedom”
Grade retention, better known as “staying back”, “being held back” or “repeating”, has been the topic of much debate within the educational system. The controversy which surrounds this long-standing issue has been reinforced by such topics as the recent endorsement of academic standards. Research indicates that “the rate of retention has increased by approximately 40% in the last 20 years with as many as 15% of all American students held back each year and 30-50% held back at least once before ninth grade” (Dawson, 1998). These discouraging statistics pose copious problems within a school system. The difficulties can be appreciated at the organizational level, as well as inside the classroom and, most
