What I Learned In A Class Analysis

Improved Essays
I have learned a variety of things in this class that I will take with me throughout life. Before entering this class, I can admit I was not the most knowledgeable person on wellness. I have learned that I need to make life style changes in order to live a better life. Eating better, stress management, exercise, making moderate diet changes, and being around positive people are major factors when it comes to having a healthy life-style. I have learned that I can’t control all things but I can control some. For example, I can’t change my chronical age but I can most definitely help improve my psychological. Chronical age, is based around your actual age but psychological age is how you actually look or your ability to keep up with yourself. So , I have started to realize that I really need to start watching my lifestyle habits both positive ones and negative ones. …show more content…
I scored fairly high so I started making some changes such as not letting little stuff get to me and I even joined a cycling to blow off some steam. Cycling, stair climbing, and running are all types of cardio exercises. These are exercises that help your heart and can prevent cardiovascular disease. I am glad I joined the class because genetically heart attacks run in my family, and I want to prevent it from happening to me. Hindsight, strength training is something that I thought I would never engage in. I reconsidered it when you started referring to all the benefits of it such as making you stronger, fitter, and it being an effective way to keep weight off. So, at least once a week I go to the Kroc center and lift some weights and do some pull

    Health and nutrition have been an essential part of life since the beginning of time, but more recently these topics are shared and examined more frequently than ever, especially in America. In Michael Pollan’s article “Our National Eating Disorder,” Claudia Kalb’s “Food News Blues,” and Karin Kratina’s “The Right Thing to Do?” it is made apparent that how we eat may be just as important as what we eat. These three authors make very valid points about American’s obsession with health fads and negative thinking towards many food groups.…

    Introduction to Analyzing Arguments: On Lies My Teacher Told Me Lies My Teacher Told Me a nonfiction book by James W. Loewen goes over the topic of American history, and throughout the book explains and provides evidence as to how history in the US is glorified and ignores important pieces of information that would expose the flaws with many of US events, and VIPs. In addition, Loewen describes how American textbooks can often set back students, holding them from learning the truth about their country, the real way that history occurred. Loewen talks about a variety of people from US history, such as Christopher Columbus, and even Helen Keller, attempting to inform the readers of the not so pure background of these American figures.

    Hello Prof. Shaw, I'm afraid that I'm having difficulties with Katherine Conway’s ENG 309 class, and I was hoping you could advise me. First, I received a poor grade on a paper recently that will certainly hurt my grade significantly and I was wondering what grade I needed to get in the class for it to count towards my creative writing and literature major? I'm afraid I may get a C. Second, when I met with Prof. Conway this past Friday to find out exactly why my grade was so low she spoke to me in a loud, harsh, and overbearing tone that, combined with her demeaning and accusatory language, crossed the line into emotional abuse. I was holding back tears minutes into our conversation; before I left she stated that she did not understand why I did not understand the prompt and that she could not give me a better grade until I figured it out. I barely made it out of her office before tears were rolling down my face and by the time I made it back to my room I was sobbing uncontrollably.…

    We all love American history but history class is the most hated subject taught in school. “Just memorize the notes, and you’ll be fine on the test,” said every history teacher I have ever had in my schooling. What do we really learn and reflect on from history class? Is it the teacher who can not teach or is the textbook that makes it boring? In “Lies My Teacher Told Me” by James Loewen, he criticizes how textbooks distort American History in a way that corresponds with the mindset of rich white Americans through the “heroification” of historical figures and America itself, the mistreatment of Native American peoples, and the enslavement of African American peoples.…

    Over the course of this class, I have learned quite a bit about what it takes to actually eat healthy and take care of my body. Coming into this class, I thought that I had already figured out most of what I had needed to know.

Being as health conscious as I am, I immediately found the class very interesting, as it is one of the only classes that I have ever taken that can actually be applied to life on the daily. That is why I found the “My Diet Analysis” project to be extremely interesting.…

    Beginning this class, I was not sure what to expect because I did not really know what community health was. I signed up for the class to fulfill the requirement for my minor. Throughout this class, I have learned so much about the aspects of the community health, agencies, drug abuse, health rates, and disease types and control. These were all topics that were greatly interesting to me and I feel like the class improved my understanding of the way in which many communities operate. It also taught me the correct meaning of many terms that I thought I knew what they meant, but I had heard them used incorrectly so often that I associated the wrong meaning with the word.…

    Over the course of this class, I have learned many new things about diet, health, and proper nutrition for a long life. Without learning these very important things, I may have just continued on my old diet, which was not healthy in the least. I have now seen a real proper diet, complete with all different food groups and everything in between. I am grateful for this class, because otherwise, I would probably still have that unhealthy diet. Nutrition taught me a lot, and I am ready now to follow all that it taught me, and I think I have the knowledge now to teach the people around me about it too.…
