The most beneficial portion of this course was for me how it was so detailed oriented to enable the student to exam the syllabus and find out she was so precise. What will benefit me enormously for this point in my life is the financial aid section. Educating a person to the different types and who they effected the student now and in the future. Just demonstrating these facts made you really think about the situation instead of jumping in first and finding out the ramifications later. I am so grateful at this time that I know the ins and outs of receiving the Pell Grant, it is so true the best defense is a great offense, Thanks to taking this course I am resolved to keep my GPA above reproach, to attend classes, not to withdrawal from classes or keep changing major so I can graduate with an Associate degree.

    Glenn-reply to Haamid initial reply to DQ WK 2 part 2 I read your post, and it prompted me to do more research on interest rates and their inverse relationship to bond prices. At first glance, the inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices seems somewhat illogical, but upon closer examination, it makes sense. An easy way to grasp why bond prices move opposite to interest rates is to consider zero-coupon bonds, which don't pay coupons but derive their value from the difference between the purchase price and the par value paid at maturity. ("Why do interest rates tend to have an inverse relationship with bond prices?…

    To earn an associates degree from Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) one must take and pass certain classes in order to transfer to a four year institute.

    ASAM 230 Reflection

    As a first year I found myself being one of the youngest if not the youngest one in ASAM 230. Although most of the students in ASAM 230 were seniors, this course would be most helpful to students in their second or third year of college. The assignments we are asked to read, write and discuss in class are directed to help students recognize their interests. For example, reading about Community-Based organizations and becoming more knowledgeable on how they are coordinated can be essential to a student who is still trying to decipher what they want to do with their college career. Most importantly the paper, What Matters to Me and Why?, is the epitome of ASAM 230 as we are able to connect our experiences in service learning and are able to apply…
