Final Reflection

Your First Semester

  • Tell us how you have grown from the beginning of the semester to now.

I have gotten better with my time management

  • What were your expectations for this year? Did this semester’s experiences meet your expectations? Explain.

I expected this year to be straightforward but also challenging. I was challenged this semester. 

  • What is something you wish you knew 14 weeks ago? 

I wish I would have known better studying techniques.

Study Habits

  • How much time do you spend studying for each class now vs. at the beginning of the semester? 

Now I study for about 2 hours a week vs none at the beginning of the semester.

  • How have your study habits changed?

They are not consistent 

  • Tell us about a resource that you have used/learned about this semester that will assist you next semester.

I learn about the writing center.

  • What study habits/techniques will you use going into next semester?

I’m going to use more on-campus resources and make studying positive rather than something I dread.

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.

SOC connects because of the communication perspective.

HLTH directly relates.

CHEM connects because it’s a science.

HIST teaches us about the past so we can learn.

Parallel Plan

  1. 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? Why? 

Health science or biology because I still want to major in something STEM-related.

  • What benefit is there to having a parallel plan (or two) in place? 

Having a parallel plan is good to have just in case your original plan doesn’t turn out how you wanted. 

  • How could one or both of these two majors benefit your current intended major?

They are both STEM majors so they help in that aspect.
