For this assignment, please reflect on the Fall 2023 semester, and your experience as a whole. For each question, please provide a few thoughtful, well constructed sentences.
Your First Semester
- Tell us how you have grown from the beginning of the semester to now.
I’ve grown tremendously, in the beginning of this semester I started off slow but picked it back up strong in the last few months left of the semester. I think I will end it well, just gotta keep motivating myself. I give myself a pat on the back for the way I’ve grown mentally and physically. I had a hard time staying organized on my work and that had a negative effect on me as a person. I overcame a lot of my obstacles and got the help that I needed.
- What were your expectations for this year? My expectations for this year were to stay on top of my work, get the help that I need to become successful. Getting good grades and maintaining them. Did this semester’s experiences meet your expectations? Yes, this semester I met my expectation of turning in all the assignments I have and Had missed. I made a planner to help me keep up with all the assignments that were due and missing stuff I had to turn in.
- What is something you wish you knew 14 weeks ago?
I wish I knew a strategy that helped me to keep up with my assignments So I can stay on top of my work.
Study Habits
- How much time do you spend studying for each class now vs. at the beginning of the semester? At the beginning of the semester I didn’t have the best studying strategy so sometimes I wouldn’t even study for my classes but as the semester came to an end I started learning how to prepare for classes properly.
- How have your study habits changed?
Yes, My studying habits changed in a good way
- Tell us about a resource that you have used/learned about this semester that will assist you next semester.
A source that I learned that will help me next semester is MonarchOneSearch. It helps me with citing a research topic and finding a source for it.
- What study habits/techniques will you use going into next semester?
- The habits and techniques I will be using next semester, I will be using a planner, that helps me keep up with my work and allows me to build a strategy on staying organized.
Health Professions Learning Community
- This semester you were enrolled in at least SOC 201S, and HLTH 101. Many of you were also enrolled in CHEM 105N and CHEM 106N, and some of you were enrolled in HIST 104H with Professor White.
- On the surface these classes do not appear to be connected; however this semester each professor was intentional about drawing connections between content, and subjects discussed. Discuss the ways in which these courses are tied together.
Parallel Plan
- This semester we had presentations from different majors in the College of Health Sciences as well as from different majors on campus. This was to give you an idea for possible parallel majors to your current intended major.
- Which two other majors would you be most interested in?
- Fashion in Design and Physical Therapy. Why? I am an upcoming clothing brand owner and I feel like if I were to major in Fashion and Design that could help me and benefit me with my business. Physical, because I always wanted to help others and work with people to benefit their life.
- What benefit is there to having a parallel plan (or two) in place?
- It allows students to be prepared for different outcomes, such as changing majors or career paths.
- Parallel planning mitigates risks by having backup strategies in place.
- How could one or both of these two majors benefit your current intended major?
It could help, because one, can bring out the creative side of me and the second can provide skills that would translate to my major which is exercise science.
