The Importance Of Being In A Honors Seminar

Well-rounded are the first words that come to mind when I think of Purdue students, especially engineers. I had the pleasure of meeting many influential Purdue engineers who have firsthand experience in the Honors College through my father’s work. These people exemplified the impact that is possible. This and their help has influenced my path in life.

As a new immigrant, I took the accuplacer test and went straight to 111 English level. So, English 111 course became my first college English class. It seems like a great achievement for a French speaker. Nonetheless, this performance linked to significant challenges. Even though I am a fighter and an optimist, I was frightened about my academic achievement for this semester. The problems became bigger when I took my first practice test on sentence structure (fragments and run-ons) and got a D. I was frightened and felt that I will have to drop the class. However, I decided not to give up. I started working hard and had a V+ on the next test. This positive grade energized me until now. During this semester, I have much homework and practices which allow me to identify some strengths, weaknesses, and gave me lots of skills for my English 112 class and the future.

In Honors English (3rd and 5th), ask students to turn in yesterday’s assignment. They have a test on “A Problem” today, so they should log into their pearson accounts online and take the test. I will check their scores and put them in Skyward asap. Once their test is finished please have them read pages 78-79 in the literature book. Their assignment is to read “Like the Sun” (pgs 80-84) and “The Open Window” (pgs 85-88). They should be looking for instances of paradoxes and irony during each reading. They need to complete the critical thinking questions on pages 84 and 88.

As Joe said we going to discuss the readings upload on the course webside. In order to have a intersting discusion we will send you a sheet with question every week. They will be a guideline, so the answers have to be main ideas/facts or anothers question that you may have during the readings. Please write them and share it during the discussion.

Study Questions: Answer the following questions (based on the reading), save it and then submit it to the professor.

I am a journalism major with a focus in public relations and a minor in marketing therefore I believe the Honors college will enhance my academic experience at Georgia State by allowing me to develop my people skills as well as my personal professional development. The honors college programs do not only provide rigorous academic programs for strong individuals to constantly feel challenged but it also provides guidance to develop individual professionalism ,and I believe both would allow me to grow as a journalism major. In addition, I know the amazing staff that the honors college provides would help me maintain my focus and personal development all four years of my undergraduate studies.

The past two semesters were great experiences. Within this past school year my knowledge as a reader and writer has improved. It felt like it was just yesterday, when I had a lot of difficulty writing and poor reading strategies. Now, as I said before, I am an improved writer and reader. The assignments and class activities over the two semesters were great benefits to me, and helped me make progress towards the first year learning goals.

Most people say it is an honor to be an AIG/Honors student. Students sometime have a hard time believing that. Not only do students sometimes not understand these terms, but parents also can have a hard time understanding the exact meaning of what it is like for a student to be in Honors/AIG. Today you will understand better of what it means to be an AIG/Honors student.

I have always felt the need to succeed in school to help me achieve my life goals. The Honors College helps me with this by offering classes that are meant to challenge me and allow me to reach a greater potential. Not only are the classes challenging, but they are offered in a wide variety of subjects so that I can challenge myself in multiple aspects of my education. By studying subjects outside my field of study, I am able to become a more well-rounded, informed citizen. This then allows me to better contribute to society and affect the lives of the people around me. The honors classes are also a wonderful opportunity to really focus on a topic and be able to get more help because the classes are smaller. Going to a large college, it is

Today’s generation is technology reliant. People think that their life is incomplete without technology. No one could stay away from their phones for a second. People get frustrated when they get weak Wi-Fi signals and this frustration could create a big negative affect in their lives. There are many students who get low grades due to weak Wi-Fi signals. It is shocking, but it is true. Edmonds Community College is a really old and respected college, but a black spot on this college is bad internet. Edmonds Community College’s website states that they got free Wi-Fi for students, but it does not states that how bad it works. Classes in Edmonds Community College mainly rely on Canvas which is a website for students. This website is important

Throughout my high school career, I chose to challenge myself in the classroom. Rather than taking the basic route to earning a high school diploma, I chose to seek an even high honor of obtaining the honor's diploma. Throughout my years, I was told by various people that the honor's diploma was unnecessary, colleges won't care about it, and that it's just for bragging rights. Although some of these statements may be true, I didn't let the negativity get in the way of my goal. I was set on working towards and honor's diploma and no one was going to stop me.

Since its establishing, the University of Kansas has exemplified the goals and determination of the abolitionists who settled on the bend of the Kaw River in August 1854. Their first objective was to guarantee that the new Kansas Territory entered the union as a free state. Another was to set up a college.

In this week June 11th through June 14th of 2018 at College of the Desert I have learned three specific topics in my english class with Professor Tapleshay. For a start, my first topic is learning good habits on engaging with my fellow classmates in the Edge program at COD including Professor Tapleshay. In fact, to also get rid of the closed doors that kept my voice locked up for four years at Rancho Mirage High School. My second topic is about the three rules of Professor Tapleshay’s class which are number 1. Show up, number 2. Show up on time and number 3. Do your work. To add on, these three fundamental rules impact my attitude by making me realize how the COD college level classes are going to be this fall which shows how I need to have
