Summary Of Shaun Dae Clark

Decent Essays
I am pleased to recommend Shaun-Dae Clark for the Millennial Public Policy Fellowship with New America. I had the pleasure of teaching Shaun-Dae in her Scopes & Methods of Political Science Research class last fall, and I was impressed with her engagement with the course material, skill in articulating difficult concepts and literatures, and ability to grow and learn from the challenges she is presented with.

In class, Shaun-Dae stood out early in the course as a perceptive and inquisitive participant in class discussion. She regularly raised thought-provoking questions that pushed the dialogue to a more reflective level, and her written work, both a literature review and an original statistical analysis, confirmed that she was a student with

    Patriot Academy Summary

    The Patriot Academy was designed by Rick Green to inspire the younger generation to get involved with government politics from a Biblical worldview perspective. The Academy week long program is consisted of workshops dealing with media relationship, public speaking, campaigning techniques, and the philosophy of the Funding Father of the United States (“Patriot Academy-Rick Green”, 2017). This is a beneficial organization to our society because it is training the youth to be a positive force in the community and house floor. Young people learn that their voice count and what they bring to society is change and positive conservative leadership. This leadership academy develops future leaders such as campaign consultants, pro-life activist,…

    In paragraph four, Routledge mentions the 2016 Gallup survey, which presents that “66 percent of Democratic and 47 percent of Republican students believe there are times a college should withdraw a campus speaker’s invitation after it has been announced” (Routledge, 2). This seems to support Routledge’s statement that millennials are wary of freedom. However, millennials are people who age 18 to 34, where this suggests that this survey only represents a minority of millennials. Hence, this makes Routledge’s statement inaccurate as he is cherry-picking his statistics to match his claim and it seems that he is trying to overstate the case. Additionally, there is no suggestion that the millennials who support restrictions on certain types of speech are the same as those who are not committed to democracy.…

    Nathan Lefeld Analysis

    • 558 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The most recent Presidential election has consumed the national consciousness. With each passing debate, speech, headline, and commercial, we have been flooded with negative messages that are highlighting all that is wrong with our current and perspective political leaders. We seem to have leaders who are devoid of the character necessary to handle the great challenges that face our nation and our world. It would be easy to sit in a state of despair about the future of our country. I, however, find solitude in knowing that we are raising a new generation of young adults in our schools, such as Nathan Lefeld, who can strive of excellence academically, persevere through adversity, find joy in service to others, and work extremely hard to earn…

    Living in a world of increasing technological advances and a growing availability of information, our world has become a mess of controversy being presented from countless sides. Today's social issues don't just pertain to one particular region like they used to. Because of our newfound ability to communicate with massive amounts of people at one time, our issues have become the issues of the world. My generation, the millennials, may not be the largest generation in numbers, but we are the largest in untapped potential. It's a common misconception that our generation is least likely to vote, and it may have been true in the last presidential election.…

    Mr. Zibanejad slowly handed back the grade 10 English test to his students. He was an experienced teacher, so he was having fun, making the students wait in dread for their most important test results of the year. Scott Zibanejad laughed to himself, he had been teaching for close to twenty years, yet he still didn’t realize why the kids fussed about the exams. One student in particular was very worried. His name was Steven Steele.…

    Mark Edmundson, a professor of English at the University of Virginia has written and published numerous works that discuss topics on literary and cultural criticism. However, in his article titled, On the Uses of a Liberal Education: As Lite Entertainment for Bored College Students, he addresses what he describes as the ethos of consumerism invading universities and how American Universities, in his opinion are becoming a commodity to students. He first begins his argument by presenting the readers with a personal experience. As a professor, Edmundson teaches a class that meets twice a week, late in the afternoon. He usually cannot begin a lecture without “a joke, an anecdote or an off-the-wall question” in order to seize the attention of his disconsolate students.…

    Lillie’s effort in my class was admirable. Her time management as a student was excellent; she spent a lot of time preparing for her research, and she would submit her assignments before deadlines. At first she was rather quiet in class, but towards the end of the semester she contributed more actively to class discussions. Lillie’s reading responses showed that she was an observant reader even though she did not always share her findings in class. Her summaries reflected a profound understanding of the reading materials.…

    Socratic Seminar

    • 555 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Socratic Seminar that took place this past Monday, in regards to “Where I Lived, and what I Lived For” by Henry David Thoreau was in my opinion just one example of how much our class needs to improve when it comes to group discussions and analyzations. There is much room for improvement when communicating one’s ideas and opinions, not only in the class but also in myself and this seminar served as good practice. Of course, there were obstacles that were insurmountable when it came to running a smooth seminar such as class size and the number of people discussing at once but some common courtesies were ignored. The sheer number of side conversations that occurred at any one moment was quite troublesome for me personally, as I saw other people actively participating in the group discussion while others were treating them with great disrespect by not paying attention and periodically interrupting them before they could properly explain their input. Remaining on track also seemed to be a constant difficulty that we had to contend with.…

    The self-reflection recording was a long questionnaire that was given in the beginning of this course. The questionnaire involved a range of questions and topics from definitions to how we view our race. This recording gave me a much deeper view of how I felt about my own race, and the way I view the world. The second part of the self-reflection is a way to see the personal growth and change that has occurred within the span of this course. This self-reflection will provide my view and opinion on how I think I have changed, or have not changed, during my time in this course.…
