INDS Class Reflection

Superior Essays
When I applied to INDS class, I didn’t really know what the class was about, but at the orientation it was somewhat discussed. The main thing that I learned about the class, was that it helps you succeed in college, and you have a higher chance of graduating at the right time. So when I was picking my classes for the fall semester, I was recommended to take the class, and so I did. It was only once a week, so it wasn’t going to be that bad. It turned out to be a good experience, the right decision to take this class, because it was very informative. When I started INDS, I was not really going to take the class serious because it is once a week, and I picked it because it was part of the learning block that I chose. I also needed a one credit …show more content…
The database online, where you could find articles that you are looking for your research papers, or some information on specific topic. I never knew about this, until we went to a meeting in the library with a professor who showed us how to access the library’s database. This is very helpful, and I already used it for my classes this semester after finding out about this advantage. I also learned where to go if I need help with finding a job, or looking for the right career. Especially where to get help to make resumes and cover letters. I now know that I can get help for almost anything I need, and I know where to go for …show more content…
It was the right thing for freshmen to hear. Things that I would change in the class though is concentrate more on what to do in college, how to finish it on time or even earlier. We discussed about it, but I would want to go more in depth about it. For example, when we found the scholarship office, we should have discuss which ones we should apply for, so we would have easier time paying for college. Things like connecting LinkedIn was a good idea, because I didn’t even know about it before. We should have continue working on that, building up our profile, getting suggestions on how to find jobs and become appealing to people. But the class was still good, and I learned a lot from

While this is an excellent achievement that every AIG student should be proud of, consistently meeting and exceeding the high expectations of their parents and teachers is hard work.

    For the past year, I could only provide an indefinite answer to a frequently asked question, How was your freshman year? In fact, those of us who experienced our freshman year could be addressed as “college veterans” will never initiate a conversation with regard to the past year. Perhaps they consider that the freshman year was not as consummate as they initially planned. I cannot judge my first year in college was successful or frustrating, but I feel I benefited from the meritorious experiences and practical knowledge gained from my college life. In my opinion, no matter what goals one wishes to achieve in college, whether its grade, love, health, or sense of accomplishment, one has to be prepared for both failures and…

    This course has taught me how to be more self-aware about what type of counselor I want to be and focus more on my values and accomplish what is important for me. This course also taught me how to be more flexible. Having a full-time job working 40 or more hours a week plus school; it was hard and still is, but having flexibility when I become a Mental Health Counselor will help me because I must be flexible to meet the client needs so we can establish a client/counselor relationship and maintain that relationship. Through this course, I learned about my professional identity, how to bring my personal values into Mental Health Counseling without losing myself, yet help the client without pushing my values on that person.…

    I took two classes for the summer of 2016, but the Interpersonal Communication class had me worried the most. I had a training with the army, and that required me to absence from school for two weeks. Unlike my other class, I didn’t have a chance to work ahead of the class with the instructor for the two weeks that I would be missing. Therefore, I was worried that I wouldn’t catch up with my classmates and end up failing the class. However, Ms. Anna was generous and extended the assignment due date for me; she even gave me an extra-credit assignment to replace the credits that I missed during my two weeks in training.…

I also learned valuable multidisciplinary skills in the IDT program. Each class taught me essential skills for discrete aspects of instructional design, but also critical skills I can use beyond work projects.…
