Personal Narrative: My Final Semester Of College

According to Mckenzie Sarnak, “Electives can help a student seek his or her hidden talents, interests, or hobbies that they enjoy.” Elective classes must be offered in school because students are more likely to get ahead when it comes to going to college and getting a job, helps realize what you're good at even if you didn't know you are good at it,schools lowest performing students are banned from taking anything except math and reading.

Every year, there are thousands of college students that are pushed to attend college, in the sole hope that they will be able to make a respectable living. More than half of these students will not end up completing their 4-year degree. Many students are starting to take a hard look at why they are going to pursue a college degree, to determine if a degree is really their best option. College education is changing for the better, with technical and vocational skills giving less academically inclined students an option. Another reason why students should consider other options is the cost; university boards have been some of the most corrupt and wasteful spenders in the last decade and this will only change with less demand. Finally, the strenuous process of admissions has been continuously overlooked and underestimated by thousands of future students. A traditional 4-year education, that caters to the industry of university, is no longer required to be successful in the job market, and traditional admissions can become an anachronism.

While college students spend tens of thousands of dollars on tuition each semester, skipping class has become a tradition as popular as the singing of “The Victors” after a Michigan touchdown. If learning in college is supposed to be as important as beer pong, why don’t students attend class? In order to examine whether students should attend their Econ 101 lecture, one should consider the Four Core Principles of Economics: cost benefit principle, opportunity cost principle, marginal principle, and interdependence principle.

As a senior in San Augustine High School, it is greatly emphasized towards student to choose a major and college by a certain deadline. Furthermore, to know exactly what college degree one plans on acquiring. As for my case, and many others, I will be entering the medical field and major in nursing. The complicated part about this situation is deciding on whether or not to earn an associate’s degree in nursing or a bachelor’s degree in nursing. Unfortunately, the medical field is hard enough as it is, and students must find the appropriate alternative that best pertains to the person making the decision. At this point my only option is to gather my knowledge about both arguments and decide on which choice will favor my situation, as well as helping others.

When you have the ability to choose your own electives, it usually makes children eager to participate in classroom activities and just normal, slow pace class work. Kid’s will get motivated to come, engage in schoolwork, and enjoy a day at school, because they will be thinking about the two classes they choose to take themself. “Electives are classes that are not required…. Isabella Colins from Choosing Your Own Electives says… (https://prezi.com/sibkpetv2rfa/choosing-your-own-electivess/ ), Students should choose their own electives for three reasons. Reason number one is because it will better prepare students for college and high school. Another reason, is because students will be able to choose electives, that

I was choosing classes and picked my usual classes, a couple advanced placement classes and a few honors classes. There was also an option for me to take a dual enrollment class in one of my required history selections. Dual Enrollment basically is being enrolled in both high school and in a college class with a high school teacher teaching who is licensed to teach with our local community college. I wasn't sure I wanted to take it, the class seemed too hard and I was not sure I wanted to go to college yet. It is a college class, so it is $300 per semester, but for a student's 11th and 12th grade year, they get one dual class for free through the Tennessee Promise and education

Research on student choice and the ways in which students make educational decisions will become increasingly valued. With so many different options from which to choose in this country and the competitive nature of these institutions, understanding student choice models is crucial. By better understanding student choice models, institutions can be better positioned to attract and accept future

Educating is very important to become a better person and have a better living. According to Center of College Affordability and Productivity, “80 percent of college bound students have yet to choose a major” (Vedder, Gillen, Bennett, et al., 28). Freshmen students do not know what they will encounter during the first year of college. This high percentage of students not knowing what they want to study demonstrates that, even though there will be a reduction in college costs it will not benefit them as much. Even when having a major chosen the typical undergraduate will switch their major two to three times. It’s good that they are seeking ways to increase graduation rates, but is it really worth it if people do not know what they want to study? The problem with college students is that they are taking classes that they do not need. Colleges need to have strict regulations imposed in order to have higher graduation rates in college students because obtaining a three year bachelor’s degree is not a reliable it does not have established metrics, finding a job when graduating with a three year bachelors can be difficult, and not a real college experience.

I understood that these three class is incredibly attractive and have significant values to take it. Before I enroll one of the elective course, I would deeply consider and think as rational people to make wise decisions. first of all, I would consider if the class I chose is essential that has strong connection with my major. Imagine that someone is majoring in Finance but trying to take anthropology course that is nothing to do with his or her major course. Lucky, prom of the essay states that all the elective class is popular and interesting. Isn’t it better to take interesting and popular class that has connection with his or her upper division class? What I think about elective class is clear and simple. Even though college catalog states “elective”, there are elective class that has relationship with core or upper division courses. In my point of view, it is wasting money if he or she is taking elective course that has nothing to do with central core courses, it is best way to waste money and

General-eduction courses should not be abandoned. Many college students need a chance to see if college is for them, figure out who they are, and they need time to figure out what they want career path to choose. In doing this, a student can become exactly who they want to be.

Electives are very important to helping children decide their future. Electives have to be offered by schools because it can give children career experience, real world experience, and helps kids decide their career. They play a big role in helping kids decide their child decide his/her career.

When picking the perfect higher education, it can be difficult to pick what we want. Sometimes plans change when we’re actually get there but stay calm and remember things can be changed to fit what our new goal at college is. Choosing our higher education place can seem easy when we know what to do and if we’ve done it before, otherwise it can be hard when we don’t know what to do. The cost and how to pay for the college are important and are a must know. When we are attending college we don’t have to automatically know what we’re going to do and if we usually don’t like

Steps to take to pick your elective. I think that you should have the choice to pick your electives is middle school. Three steps to pick your middle school elective is know the one elective you liked the most in previous years, second make sure you like the teacher, third choose your elective.

Experiencing a year of college life has led me to many challenges and opportunities. I have been able to attend the most prestigious historically black college in the nation and I have also attended a predominantly white institution. While attending Spelman College I have gained so much knowledge, wisdom, and insight pertaining to my black culture. Due to many issues at home I had to attend an university that was predominantly white, this time period really enabled me to see the major downfall in the educational system. I felt that I was not gaining the same education I had received at Spelman because it didn’t intertwine a curriculum that discussed the issues and also the success of minorities. Being at a black university or college enabled

Scarcity necessitates choices, and when people make choices, they receive benefits and incur costs. The costs are highlighted by the value of the next best alternative of the choices, or the opportunity cost. In this case, my next best alternative to taking AP Gov & Econ would be to take Honors Gov & Econ. To decide which class was the best one to take, I used cost-benefit analysis. I weighed the marginal costs and benefits of each class. AP would mean a heavier workload and harder assignments, but would greater prepare me for the future. In addition, a good grade in the class (knock on wood) will work wonders for my GPA, and this combined with a good score on the AP test
