One way they one generation can reveal to one another is to help out each other. For example in, “Tutors Teach Seniors” Pamela Norr was helping her mother out with her technology, but when she couldn't do it she asked her teenage kids. When Pamela’s kids helped out her mother they had to teach another person from a different generation. When the teenagers helped out their grandma they were helping out another generation. Also, when my grandmother was visited here my brother and I had to help her with her technology.…
Chandler-Gilbert Community College (CGCC) has guided me, a 49 year-old college sophomore, to utilize my academic grit in order to mentor other students, and past experiences to succeed in my educational and career goal as a visual healing artist. My 25 years of medical experience are rooted in my professional goal to be a visual healing artist. Mentors of my previous medical profession ranged from surgeons, doctors, and firemen to patients and their families, all of which helped me learn about human anatomy, kinesiology, and compassion for humanity. My medical career started over 25 years ago as an administrative assistant. I worked my way up the medical professional chain from my emergency medical technician (EMT) certification, registered dental assistant, x-ray technician, surgical technician, medical administrator of insurance billing and surgery scheduling, to an insurance agent of life and health, disability and long term care.…

One of the authors of this article is the same person the article is talking about, Thacker Thacker, whom is a first grade teacher. Her purpose in writing this article is to show teachers, or future teachers, ways to work their classroom so that the students can succeed with their writing based on how she has her classroom set up and what she does. Her biggest key point is to create an environment where the students are excited to be writing and can do their best work based off of the conditions given. Another point that Thacker likes to follow in her classroom is a set of routines so that the students know what to expect so they are able to get right to work. She reiterates the importance of indirectly pointing out what students can do to fix or improve their writing, in which…

Class Contribution Self-Assessment The Comm390 class has significantly inspired me on business writing and English learning.

When I first arrived at college, I did not expect to do all the things I am doing currently. One of those things would be a tutor, and help other people with their struggles in different classes. I was always good in subjects such as mathematics and science, but never would I have thought I would be a tutor. The reason for it is because I am not an outgoing person. I am not a person who would talk to anybody I do not know, let alone ask them if they need help.…
I would like to double major in Physics and Mathematics at Cornell. If I am to enter the field of Astronomy, a strong base of physics and mathematics is essential. Astronomy is a vast science, more precisely a subcategory of physics involving mathematical computations and interpretations. Being a double major is demanding for it comes with a lot of work, studying and research. Yet I chose both physics and mathematics for my Bachelor’s degree, as I wanted to lay a strong foundation to my goal of becoming an astrophysicist.…
The class offered a myriad of details with an impressive timeline which, dated back to the times before Christ. I began this class with my own ideas regarding what I might learn about, but my expectations were surpassed. There was much information about historical philosophers, scientific and psychological theories, and well-known psychologists, and I was positively influenced by the material we studied. Studying the past notions of others definitely unlocked my mind, generated further questions, and inspired me to want to explore other areas of newly found interests.…
I can empathize with teachers who say that the observation and evaluation process does not seem reciprocal in nature. Most of my follow-up evaluations have either been waived or conducted in five minutes or less in which the principal hits upon the highlights of my observation. Very few teaching lessons have been learned through these interactions. In her article though, Shelly Arneson includes sound practices that can be implemented to alleviate many of the concerns of the evaluation process. Her basic premise is to shift the dialogue from inspection-based conversation to a reflection-based conversation.…
After she was done reading the book, she would have the students return to their seats so they could partake in a craft that related to the book. The teacher evaluates how effect her teaching approach is by observing the students work. She writes ‘help’ on the paper or activity when the students require a large amount of help to finish. She accommodates students with disabilities, by having them work one-on-one with another adult that is constantly in the room. Each student takes their turn meeting with this other adult.…
This past October, I applied to be a tutor for both The Study and Student Athlete Support Services here at Loyola. As a tutor, I spend about 3-6 hours a week in The Study, located on the 3rd floor of Jenkins Hall, helping fellow students and student-athletes better understand their class material. However, The Study is also used as a workspace, utilized by Loyola students for individual studying, group projects, as well as tutoring sessions. Students that are together in The Study at the same time are part of a gathering, which Goffman defines as “any set of two or more individuals whose members include all and only those who are at the moment in one another’s immediate presence” (Goffman, 18). More specifically, this gathering would be instrumental,…
Introduction The time I spent with my student during our tutoring sessions gave me a first-hand experience of how it is like on a student to teacher level. I learned a lot from my student, Kade, as I hope he also learned from me. During this time, I was able to observe his strengths and his weakness. I had to be flexible to cater my lesson plan to my student, so he could build upon what he learned and advance through more challenging activities.…
