Reflective Essay For College

This unit does not introduce much new material. Instead, we expect you to integrate technical and theoretical knowledge acquired from study across your degree. We refer to two frameworks that may support you in carrying out this integration:

When people hear the word “college”, many panic inside at the thought. But, when I hear the word “college” I think about Illinois State University. In early July, I attended an Open House at ISU for my very first official college visit. As I stepped onto campus, I couldn’t but help to feel like it was my future home. Many aspects of the tour made me draw nearer to choosing this college after finishing my High School career. Illinois State University seems to fit my personality very well, has an amazing program for what I want to study, and is an outstanding campus for my academic strengths and weaknesses.

Before this class, I had never made a budget for myself, and it was interesting to see how much you really need to cover, especially on a student or starting budget. Students have a lot they need to pay off, so budgeting is important so they can map out their finances. Working on student loans also opened my eyes. I never knew the importance of paying off student loans as quickly as possible, so I am already planning on how

Classes like Introduction to Agriculture Economics, Microeconomics, and Macroeconomics set the base business vocabulary and basic understanding of why the prices of the services were changing throughout the summer. I also used a lot of the excel skills from Fundamentals of Agriculture Economic Analysis in the office inputting jobs and creating spreadsheets for Troy. A class that really stood out to me was Legal and Social Environment of Business. The reason being is because during my employment at Yellow Jacket Oilfield Services LLC they were introduced to a new member of the Limited Liability Corporation or LLC, which I also learned from this class. This member influenced many changes in the company for example cut backs in certain departments and even laying people off as they have the right to do in Texas, as an employment at will state. Lets not forget the knowledge from English and Agriculture Communication classes I used to write this paper. Although I used the information from many classes there are still some I need to take to better understand the actions of my supervisor. This fall semester I will be enrolled in Ethics of Business and Managing People in Organizations, which will be helpful to relate what I have experienced this summer to the classroom. Another class that would be helpful to take would be a sales class. Even though I did not get to

This essay is a reflective essay on my learning development from a young age through to my current position as a University Student. I will be relating my learning development back to two theories of human development, Vygotstsky’s socio-cultural theory and Marcia’s version of Erikson’s theory of identity development. I will identify and discuss the challenge I have faced with my identity and how this has impacted on my development.

This semester I learned a bit more about how and why Marbury vs. Madison established the powers of Judicial Review. My previous classes in political science had treated the case as a footnote and it was nice seeing the whole picture. Second, I learned about how the death penalty has changed over time. Lastly this class reaffirmed my belief that in Texas the only way to make lasting change is to prove ones point over the other rather than to simply win in a debate of opinion.

The dreaded English 102. Could this be my final English course in my career as a student? I don’t know for sure. I still need to decide what my major will be in. There is something that I know for sure, that is, needing to take this class to move on. I am not certain how my time in this class will go, but I plan to work hard to get the best grade that I can. Hence, I have decided to get this out of the way now, I look to fine-tune my writing skills, and I expect this course to help me understand my writing style.

During my senior year of high school, I am enrolled in AP Microeconomics and AP Statistics. I would consider mathematics one of my academic strengths. I love working with numbers and I believe my love and knowledge of math will greatly benefit me in pursuing a career in Business Administration. In AP Microeconomics I enjoy learning about the factors that affect businesses, along with the stock market. After having a complete understanding of these topics, I also believe I will find success in a business career. I am looking forward to the variety of classes I will have the opportunities of taking in order to have a better understanding of Business Administration. These two high school classes will be great building blocks in my career as I

The favorite courses I took in graduate school were my labor economics classes, and I eventually got to be Prof. Jesse Rothstein's teaching assistant (TA) for one semester of the sequence, which was focused on the economics of education. This course was offered for graduate students from four different departments, Economics, Public Policy, Business and Epidemiology. My job as TA was to get all students to the same page in econometrics in office hours and to help them understand of economics research papers, write their referee reports, research proposals and replication projects.

I never thought that choosing the last elective course before graduating could be so hard, but apparently, it is quite difficult. There is only one semester left and from the elective courses pool, I have narrowed my choices to just three, Introduction to C++ Programing, Legal Environment, and Business Writing. I will use two of the economic decision-making principles, Trade-Off and Opportunity Cost, which I learned in Macroeconomics in order to choose a class. Before I do that I have to make sure I know the benefits of each class.

I have learned so much in this class to prepare me for a successful college experience. There were some topics that caught my attention more than others. Such as, time and stress management, University resources, and critical thinking.

I am most excited for my nutrition class. I am always online looking up what is good and bad for me to eat, but you can never really trust what you read on the internet. There are many contradictions online and taking an actual class will help me with my own health at the same time as getting me ready for my future career. Another class I am eager to take is public speaking. I am a very shy person and talking in front of others has always been terrifying for me. Taking this class will be vital in helping me prepare for the rest of college and becoming a PE

I would like to mention some courses that I have taken at Knox College that not only have encouraged me to take up the particular field of study as a major, but have also fortified me to volunteer and intern in the field of international development. These courses are: International Economics (Manisha Pradhananga, Professor), Business & Society (John Spittell, Professor) Environmental & Natural Resource Economics (Steve Cohn, Professor) and Environmental Ethics (Bill Young, Professor). These particular courses had a great impact on my decision to pursue a major in Economics and a double minor in International Relations & Business.

In addition to the aforementioned courses I took a number of classes that helped me to hone in on my underlying interest in many facets of international relations. In Political Sociology and the Global Economy I examined the rise of the global economy and its basis in earlier more localized efforts. I took part in fascinating discussions on what being a nation means in Social Movements, Protest and Change during the early days of the Arab Spring. I further developed these early interests at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Through Global Economic Policy I led a working group in our presentation of India/Brazil supposed intellectual property violations as if we were the WHO writing to the WTO. This experience examining from another’s perspective was compounded when I worked

Enrolling in classes each year are a part of every student’s routine. Classes such as European Social Politics, Globalization, and International Finance are all examples of classes that I would not have found interesting a year or even 6 months ago. I credit my semester abroad to enhancing my interest in the world around me and has driven me to understand America in a broad perspective.
