Gender is not binary but a spectrum going from identifying as male at one end, non-binary or agender in the middle and female at the other end. My gender identity as female has had an effect on my life experience from birth through a number of ways such as how I feel about…
educators. The first is classroom attendance. Romer [18] discussed how absenteeism is “rampant” in undergraduate classes, adding that “steps to increase attendance, including making attendance mandatory, may deserve serious consideration” (p. 167). This study addresses that point, and provides a method which has worked extremely well in calculus classes with approximately 50 students. The second issue is how to improve the writing skills of calculus students before it is too late for them to…

However, one of the biggest issues, that refugees are typically tied to, is the string of terrorist attacks that have been happening lately, such as the bombings in Istanbul and the Paris attack.…

When I would receive a B in a class, I would do all the extra credit work I could and I would study that subject late at night when I should have been sleeping. I would be insanely stressed until I could bring my grade up, and even when I did, I would stress myself out trying to maintain an A. Every homework assignment I would get would have to…
Experiences as an SVSU English major My freshman year at SVSU began in a way that I could only explain as equal parts terrifying and exhilarating. There I was, three hours away from home, surrounded by (and living with) seven complete strangers who I somehow felt like I had nothing in common with. I came in with pretty much no idea what I was doing, who I wanted to be, or what the next four years would be like, and a tentatively declared English major. I didn’t know where I was headed, I…
