At John Jay, I Yelisa Luna failed below my GPA standard being that it was my first semester there and a change from whereas I was familiar to Bmcc, being comfortable and knowledgeable on the campus area. Despite the fact I enrolled in four classes, I was excited and a little nerve wracking. I took two classes online and two in person. All the professors were good but I failed short in two of the in person classes. My examination stills wasn't what I thought it would be when I had studied. My CRJ: Police and Diversity became a stressful class due to his first teaching the new topic for the first time,however the professor had stated to bear with the power points because there was plenty of information to take in. I passed the quizzes and almost passed the midterm, but the final was very hard without any view sheets given, not unlike to Bmcc professors who would give or point out what to study for and not just reading everything from chapter 1-14 for the final. Others felt that this class was also stressful on the technique it was being transferred to us most failed as well. I was given a D+ which is low for what I though I would be getting but very understanding of the …show more content…
I had studied for but it didn't show in my exams which became upsetting. My biggest fault was never asking for help until the mid end of the semester, when I found a study person name Brittany she helped me make a well organize study sheets for my finals which help me so much in my online classes passing with a B. I wish I could have asked sooner. I also learnt how to balance my time between my job and school.
Overall granting me another chance to receive finical aid again would help so much in finishing my degree. In view that I've failed with the struggle in keeping my GPA up but I've learned to seek help, how to make a better study sheet and balance my class
Is there ever an instance when a M.Ed. cohort student does not have to take EDUC 635? I have had 2 students, 1 reading and 1 C&I, call to ask if they need to take 635. The C&I student said his professor talked about 630 being different for those taking 635 and those not. The reading student said 635 did not show on her advising sheet, which it does on all the advising sheets I have. The first time I was asked the question, I assumed there was some confusion with the professor, but when I got the same question twice in 2 days it made me wonder if I had missed something.
With all these great opportunities, there are many more that are waiting! I want to join more clubs on campus, be an Orientation Leader, volunteer abroad and even join a community service sorority. I will not be able to do these things with these classes affecting my gpa. It has gotten to the point where I will not be able to afford to attend classes in the Fall due to loss in scholarship from my gpa. I understand that I made a mistake. I am asking for a second chance so that I can better myself, my campus and my
I have attached a copy of my high school transcript with the courses and grades I have received throughout my last two years at Anacortes High School. This semester, I am taking ASB Leadership, Strength and Conditioning, Drama 3, Pre-Calc, AP Environmental Science, AP Literature and Composition, and Teacher's Aide for Mr. Thompson. My favorite classes I have taken at AHS are Honors World Religions and ASB Leadership. Honors World Religions is one of my favorite classes because it challenges you to think differently than any other class does. It not only talks about religious history, but also current world issues that involve religion. This class is said to be one of the hardest classes at AHS, but it is also the most interesting class I have
Have you had an essay due and your grade depended on this essay and you don’t know how to write an essay let alone receive a decent grade? Well this is your key to passing your class. The essay should start with an introduction. The introduction,remember to be amicable, should start with a statement of your subject, then lead to a very specific statement of your main point, or thesis. Sometimes an essay begins with an attention grabber, such as a challenging claim, or surprising story to catch a reader's attention. The thesis should tell in one or two sentences, what your overall point or argument is, and briefly, what your main body paragraphs will be about. Then the introduction paragraph should
The of the new semester I did not know what to expect because building or constructing stuff was never my expertise. Towards the end of fall semester I did contribute to the the play layout more than ever by designing the Corny Collins sign that is currently used in the play Hairspray. I did not know because last semester I was never involved with the construction of anything and I did not know about this new semester. I started off the semester not good because Dr. Sannah caught me not doing work sometimes, but he did not know that I was already done with my work. He wanted students to be more involved in this year play than las semesters and I wanted to contribute more in this play than last semester.
During the summer of 2015 I signed up for Math 1314. Being still in highschool and taking a college level math was not only difficult for me but also nerve wracking since the majority of the people in the class were people who had already graduated high school. I felt out of place while also feeling discomforted to the thought of collaborating with adults.
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 would like to give the admissions committee appropriate circumstances that led to my poor performance in years of 2000 to 2004. While attending Butler community county college my dad got sick and he was hospitalized in Tanzanian for majority of my junior college. The illness led to his death. The event was enormously traumatizing to myself and my family. At the same time, he was the one who was paying my tuitions and up keep while attended college. Since my father he was the braid winner to our family I had to attend class and work at the same time to support myself and my family.in order to meet our my needs family needs I had work two jobs while attending school .Bouncing back between these two jobs and school was not easy task, it limited my ability to focus on my school work. Although I was able to work with my teachers to extend deadlines and make up missed work, my jobs did limit my ability to
I did poorly last semester but this semester I have plans to do better. I am going to have a daily action plan and plans for how to deal with different problems that might come up. Last semester I did not properly handle the things that came up which is why it turned out like it did.
I’ve learned a lot of useful tips from this semester in ENG 201. English has never been my strong suit nor has it been my favorite class. However this college course has changed my point of view of the subject. Prior coming into college I viewed English as a useless class because I’ve already knew the basics: how to talk, read and write essays. Today I view English as an important class. It helped me in other courses that involved writing, such as World Civilization and Communications, because it allowed me to practice my skills. In my world civilization exams I had to write essays. This course helped me write an impactful essay. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that almost all of my exam scores were in the 90s, usually I do poorly in the
Hopefully, if I am given the benefit of the doubt and the board of the financial aid office contacts my instructor, and hopefully my instructor would vouch that I tried. I never missed class except when I had doctor's appointment and I informed my teacher beforehand if I was going to miss a class. I was also diligent with my homework's and participation. I tried my best and gave the class my all but me failing my exam sealed my faith. Our two exams were worth 50% of my grades and me being a bad exam taker and having the panic attack and running out of my medication before exam week and not being able to get my medication on time, my whole study pattern and exam preparation was thrown out of
study a lot. Also, I struggled with my time management because I could not figure
I have learned that I am the worst procrastinator in the world and I should never wait until the last minute to study or do an assignment. I have also learned that my phone is very distracting and I should be putting my phone in another room. Another thing I have learned is that my notes were not detailed enough. Now I put more details and time into my notes whether it is lecture or book notes. Whereas I only took at least one page of notes now I take at least two or more pages depending on how much detail the teacher goes into on a specific topic in class. Another thing is that I should be studying a lot more than I already am even if it means that I would be studying for two hours or more for a week or more. Where on my last test I studied for only one to two hours a day for a
Me and her calculated to having 20 credits for the following term. I thought that having that amount of credit was a lot to handle, but I was determined to try to do it. I was willing to do anything to try to keep my scholarship and financial aid because that’s been helping me pay for my books and tuition. Close to the end of the term. I was struggling with one class because of the amount of homework load I had in one class. I decided to talk to the professor, Dean Braa, and he said that I would not be able to pass the class and be given an F. I knew then that I couldn’t afford to get another F in my transcript when I was already trying to make up for the other F in Writing 135. After careful consideration, I decided to drop the class with a W. However, I was 3 credits short and I knew right there that I lost my scholarship and financial aid; I was devastated. I went back to talking to Sheree about what had happened and she discussed about how there is still a chance to appeal for my scholarship. I’m hoping that this coming up fall term I can do better in time management and
I am writing to you to appeal the Financial Aid Status I am currently placed under. Although you may not know me, if you look back at my grade history, this is not the student I am. I am a student who strives to work hard, and to do the ultimate best of my abilities. I usually beat myself up over homework and test grades. Throughout my career at Minot State University, my GPA never fell below a 3.70, I have been on the Dean’s/President’s Honor Roll since Fall of 2015. The only problem semester I have had previously was my first semester as a Freshman, and that was all about how I adjusted to college. After that first semester; I have only strived to reach my goals, and have worked tremendously
