UNIV 1231 FINAL EXAM As a first year student in my first semester in a university I’m so glad I took this class. Not only did I learn things to help throughout my school year, but also in my future in the real world. Professor Buggs did an amazing job at teaching and communicating with us on a level where we could understand, and be relatable. This was a year full of change and with so much going on it was nice being in a class where I could relate to others and also meet new people. And I learned many things that I can take away from this class on how to do well in college, learn how to deal with the real world, and fixing habits to better myself.

The most relatable and the path to lead me to succeed while my doing my Bachelors were some things I learned in this class. I learned the different ways to obtain information and my study styles that will help me with my skills to excel in school. As a visual person I can see myself learning things by looking at them and some aid are drawings, watching helpful videos, and creating flashcards to help me retain the information I need to do well in a class. Along with this I learned the

I need to learn time management, and we went over this in class. The time management lesson and take home lesson about what we did over the week helped so much and actually made me more aware of the things and where my time is going. I need to also get into the habit of making time to help others more often. Whether it’s with local volunteering opportunities or helping on campus, but I hope to make a change and what a better time to start then right now. From Sonia Sotomayar’s book “My Beloved World” I learned the key to her success was positivity and not giving up. These are the two key things I’m keeping in mind as I grow more as a person, and experience

    Psychology 201 has been a very intriguing course for me so far. I really enjoyed learning about how the brain works and how big of a role it plays in our lives. Some specific areas of psychology I enjoyed studying were Operant Conditioning, the theories of motivation, and Jean-Dominique Bauby. Operant Conditioning was a familiar concept, even though I was not familiar with the specific terminology. I think reinforcement and punishment are very interesting topics that apply to everyone's lives.…

    Summary of KINS 470 For most classes, the main portion of the class is lecture, and then there may be a lab attached to go along with what is learned. Exercise Science Lab was different than any other class that I have taken in the exercise science curriculum. The entire class was a lab class itself. The lecture was very minimum, and most of the time spent was conducting tests and collecting data.…

    Managing time can be a big obstacle when you have tendency to say yes to most everything a person ask you to do for them. Saying yes has got me into trouble with managing my time and having too much on my plate. But, I think that if I make a list of priorities, make an action plan according to my priorities, and having an accountability partner can help the obstacle of time management become less. One other obstacle I see in the future is not volunteering and making my brand known. A solution to this would be updating my resume with volunteer work and find those people that can help get connections within my community.…

    EDUC 632 is related to Liberty’s Mission and Conceptual Framework because it teaches its teachers (or soon to be teachers) the SCRIP. First, to be successful teachers, one needs to have social responsibility. This is demonstrated by us coming to class every weekend that is required. The same can be said for the commitment along with being committed to the program. If we were not serious about this, we would not be here.…

    As a student at Olivet College many people hear about what is often known as the world class insurance program, how great the faculty is, and how great the job placement in the insurance industry is. These are just words to several people who do not truly understand the Olivet College difference. My experience at Olivet College has prepared me for a career in the insurance industry in various different ways. Whether it was from assisting me in my decision to become an insurance major, pushing me to just get the license no matter what, or even just the support system I found down each hall way of Mott academic center. Olivet College has helped prepare me on my journey to enter the insurance field.…

    When I registered for the course, I was in the process of signing up for classes I had to take. I didn’t have a choice in most of them, so I didn’t do much research into what each lesson plan held. However, during our first day, I was pleasantly surprised by the goal of the class – learning about literary criticism and, more importantly, the theories that went along with it. I felt confident because I already had experience in these fields, and this class would just throw me into the deep end of a pool I had already waded into. The class essentially showed me why I had wanted to be an English major in the first place and strengthened my desire to work harder and succeed in my chosen career.…

    I have been impressed with the readings for this class. When it comes to incivility, it is interesting to see that even though it has been published in a book and articles have been written, there are still those who do not understand the magnitude of this issue in higher education or in the general public. I agree with Twale and DeLuca, when they state that incivility has behaviors that are indicative of bullying (Twale & DeLuca, 2008). When co-workers show intolerance or disrespect toward others, this really has a negative effect on an organization, a school, or a group. This is difficult to address when the incivility starts at the top of an organization and it breeds throughout the environment and it runs rampant.…
