With the help of my parents and an academic support team, I was able to start turning in my missing assignments and raising grades. When it got extremely close to finals figured out that my finals were my chance to my grade up since they were such a significant grade. So I took mass amounts of my time to study and prepare for these
I discovered that the job I had was not going to cooperate with school and my grades suffered. I became determined not to become one of the people that tried and failed at school. So I set a career path that will allow me time for work and school and have been promoted to a job that will allow me to achieve my educational goals. I plan on using my free time at work to study during the slow times, which I chose to work nights and sacrifice time with my family to allow me the ability to enjoy more study time at work.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
I learned that if I put a little more effort than I usually do then I could see a huge increase in performance and my grades. I learned that if I really pay attention to the directions that were given to me when they are given, it is a much easier time in the class. Also if I do not understand something, just asking someone next to me or the teacher or even a teacher's aid really helps so I fully understand the instructions
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
I Jiniqua Jones is aware that I have loss my financial aid due to lack of student ability to succeed during the semester. I have been a student at Palm Beach State College for a year, and plan to continue my education if appeal is granted. As a student, my goal is to succeed and remain dedicated through the semester. Due to underlying circumstances in the pass, it caused me to slack in my academic performance. In which I was experiencing family issues, and transportation problems. My stepmom was diagnosed with fibromyalgia which causes chronic pain throughout the body, and headaches. My step-mom didn’t have support with my younger siblings, being that my older sister was working. I was the only one she could rely on for help. My step-mother
I am writing the Financial Aid Appeal Borad to ask for support of finanial aid for Fall 2016. I have a deficient completion rate and I have gone over the maximum time frame of credits to obtain my degree. The reason that my completion rate is so slow is because my mother was batteling cancer. I was her caretaker throughout her sickness and honestly I could not do both at the same time even through I tried my hardest. My mom did not want me to quit school to take care of her so I always went back to try. She died on good friday of this year and passed all but two of the six classes. This summer I took two classes and passed both of them. Before she got sick, I had amazing grades and I want to finnish with good grades. I am planning to grauate
My academic performance was impacted by some poor personal and academic decisions, including taking on a heavy course load that included a combination of five difficult courses all in the semester. While taking some difficult courses, I should have balanced out my academic schedule using courses that are relatively easier and more manageable to me. I realized that the set of courses that I was enrolled in, as well as the overall program, did not suit my interest as a student. Additionally, due to ineffective time management
