The Quarter at Tropicana

I am a sophomore who has learned a lot of useful knowledge and loves my life in UC Davis. Yet, I am writing to point out problems with the quarter system. Similarl to many aggies, in my first college year, I had a hard time adapting to the university life because of the quarter system. To succeed in university, every UC student must spend a lot of time adapting this depressive and painful system. However, after acclimating this schedule, students still need to bear massive stress and many inconveniences that are brought by quarter system and may influence their moods and health states. UC students have many exams in a ten-week quarter so they are really stressed and may have bad performances in exams. T. Anne Hawkins (2000) said that half…

Being in this course for the past two-quarters I have seen not only myself but also my peers grow as a team. We have come up with new ideas that will hopefully create the story we want others to capture both the negative and the positives of being either an immigrant ourselves or our families. For many of us who are used to the quarter system, we are usually done within the ten weeks we have.…

for our dealership. Our initial choice was Nissan with Chevrolet as our back up, but we decided to change to Audi and named the dealership Norsworthy Audi. Audi was the franchise that we based our first project on in freshman year, so we wanted to go with the iconic idea of beginning with Audi and ending with Audi. After deciding upon our desired franchise, our instructor informed us that we would have to keep track of our progress with the use of measurable goals and individual activity logs.…

The four skill builder concepts that I feel pertained to my experiences this quarter were other-centered messages, initiating conversation, clarifying supportive intentions, and describing feelings. Starting with other-centered messages I feel that I used this skill throughout this quarter. A particular example that comes to mind with my utilizing of this skill is just recently when I had a conversation with my sister, Danielle. My sister Danielle is currently taking a break from classes from BC…

main target markets, the U.S.A. and Europe, have a generally stable political climate. Under Trump, the only possible tariff that can affect the beverage industry is the proposed 10% tariff on aluminum (Shoup, 2018). However, orange juices are mostly in Tetra Pak, plastic, or glass bottles, so the effect of the tariff would be insignificant.
