helped me a lot. I can already see a difference and I will most definitely continue to use them. For 'Manage your Time and Life", I was to make a schedule that helped me to organize my time and studying. I made a new one every week and it is helping me to be more organized and to not slack off. My schedule has every day of the week on it and next to each day it has what subject(s) I will do that day. I used to forget which assignments I did two days ago and have Inattention but this is helping me a lot…
85% in this course. I plan on earning this grade by spending at least 6 hours a week as recommended by the professor, in a quiet place suitable for studying such as my room. My personal and professional rewards for earning the grade I desire would be a strong sense of acomplishment. The instructor can help me be succesful this semester by helping me better understand what my actually goals are going to be after I graduate. 3. My learning style is Aural, I can really relate to what the website…
demonstrated in my GCSE A* grades in both Art and Graphics. Even before I finished studying at school I knew that my ideal career would be in graphics. On the basis of the knowledge I gained through my current studies, I have made an informed decision on the course I wish to apply, this being Architectural Technology. This course would provide me with a great insight into the technical side of Architecture and also equip me with the professional, practical and business skills that an Architectural Technologist…
For as long as I could recall, studying abroad was never my intentions from the beginning of my journey from high school into college, due to the lack of financial means and growing up in a family where that didn’t seem as if it could be a reality. After transferring schools and finally seeing how Mount Saint Mary College heavily encourage students to study abroad, I felt inspired to finally take the chance and apply for a Summer Study Abroad semester. My main inspiration was personal. I saw a close…
don’t know exactly what it is I want to do yet. The thought of being able to do that sounds good to me but the process of actually figuring that out is slowly becoming a nightmare. I am interested in Criminal Justice and History. In Criminal Justice I would want to work in the FBI or CIA. When I get there I want to be a field agent and work in the criminal division. The thought of solving crimes and helping families cope with the tragic occurrence is something I would enjoy doing. While with History I…
was expected to continue my studies there. As I was very satisfied with my life in China, studying abroad did not interest me at all. I was upset that I had to leave and argued with my parents about it. However, living in Canada has had unexpected benefits in that I have learned to be more independent, rediscovered my motivation for learning, and become much more relaxed. Living in Canada has required me to become more independent. As my father has remained in China, my mother and little brother…
exciting and unbelievable. Westchester community college has given me this opportunity. Your college provides me with a variety of paths and classes in order to attain a degree in A.S. My main interest is international business and how different countries are able to work together so as to exchange ideas and materials to help the economy and welfare of their own countries. My parents have always encouraged and supported me in my passion of pursing a career in business; they have always tried…
For college students, studying can present many challenges due to new environment that they did not exhibit from high school such as fewer classes and shorter lengths of class time. One must utilize a refined time management skill in order to not drift afar from their priorities. However, not all students can enjoy the privilege of studying at will; work and parenting can contribute to unanticipated events which can rob the opportunity for studying. With the existence of online course, it can provide…
didn't only teach me dates and events. It helped me develop a critical way of thinking and an analytocal spirit, that has always caractrised me. But the fondamental point is that, thanks to history, I know how to use this ability, not only on philosophical texts or dicussions, but also on global phenomnons such as wars or other political events. It is thanks to this reflection that I understood enjoyed these subjects, it definetly has a big value to…
have been great with helping us understand what’s going on in large lecture and give us helpful study tips and habits. Now that I’m here I’m starting to study more, I have taken up some study habits. I know some people have their own special habits like turning off the TV or staying in a quiet place to study. When I need to study I sit down and put my headphones in. I don’t play any music or even plug them into my phone. They’re just there in my ear, I guess I just think that to me it makes everything…
