Reflection on ID 106
The ID 106 class is a perfect class to get first year freshman acquainted and prepared for any tough academic adversity a student may face throughout in college. From learning lessons on how to handle note taking, to getting the most out of the resources this college provides, the ID 106 course is a beginner's guide for successful college life. I truly believe that I will walk away from this class with an advantage above the rest of my peers who were not able to take this inciteful class. After my four years of college, I want to be able to say I had a liberal arts education experience that made me prepared for the real world, and, after this class, I can fully say my end goal has been put into focus.

The process to get a meeting with the person I needed to was kind of confusing, and, to be honest, I feel like I gained nothing of value from my personality meeting. My reasoning is such that I feel like I was not told anything that I did not already know. With that being said, I am sure other students benefited more from the ACE certificate assignment, I just did not find it as helpful. One thing I think this class should consider adding to the curriculum is a lesson over e-mail, Microsoft Office, and Blackboard. Coming into college, in the first week or two, it was a harder transition to those programs than it should have been, and I feel like an early lesson over the basics could sort any confusion freshmen could have. Overall, I feel like just about every lesson and assignment were beneficial, and without this simple class, I would not know about half the things I can do on campus. I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to take such an inciteful class, and I cannot wait to use some of the things I learned inside some of my harder

    In completing the course English 112 at Robeson Community College, I have found myself with a new found understanding how to write various genres, and do them well. Newly, I have experienced the handling of opinion writing, research writing, and direct analyzation writing. These concepts greatly helped me achieve the knowledge of love in writing. This class had an overall positive affect on the individual I now am, and created a way in which I read an assignment, sit down, and promptly beginning work. In this class, aspects such as research, analyzation, and procrastination hit the closest to who I was before enrolling and completing this course.…

    I hope I’m not the only IDS student staring at a blank page wondering where to begin. Though I have learned much during this course, figuring out what words to type first was not one of them. I have never been the person who could easily translate ideas into beautifully crafted sentences. Thoughts tend to meander in my head while I struggle to find the words that express them eloquently, if not correctly. Eight weeks later, I am still tormented by my own form of writer’s block.…

    At the beginning of the semester I was somewhat intimated by the amount of course work that was expected of each student in this class. However, as time went on and I started to complete the assignments, it became clear how useful many of them were, particularly the resume and the career exploration paper. Both of these assignments were beneficial in their own way, despite the time and effort that went in to completing them according to the instructions. The resume and subsequent critiques from multiple sources yielded a professional document that is flawless and ready to be disseminated to potential employers after a minor customization to it based upon the job description and requirements. The career exploration assignment has taught me how…

    During the course of my EN 111 class there have been many things that I enjoyed and a couple of things that I did not. First of all I particularly enjoyed the discussions that the class would have about the stories that we had to read. I liked this because when reading the story on my own sometimes it was hard to understand what was happening. When the class would discuss the stories aloud I was able to get more of an understanding out of it. Finding the deeper meaning was easier when we would discuss it together.…

    ACA Reflection In the process of preparing for college, I was equipped with little information on the development of who I am and how I learn best in school. Although this lack of personal knowledge existed in the beginning of my high school career, it did not occur forever. ACA 115 opened new realms of understanding that came with being a student, allowing for me to learn new things about myself and the way that I acquire skills of a subject.…

    Ten-Day Span Reflection

    I enjoyed the consistence of the assignments being within a ten-day span, and the limitations upon certain late work that could be turned in, which forced students to take a test or participate in a discussion. This class helped enhance my time management, and how to manage my life around an online course. While time was always good for me, the Thanksgiving expansion deadline seemed very generous, and I enjoyed the extra time that I had to spend with family. Then independence radiated from the class as a bonus to my experience since I felt that there were minimal restrictions upon any assignments. These assignments merely had to contain proper netiquette and an answer, which could vary from any topic upon a cancer, or health issue.…

    I believe this course was very effective for students as it reflects the purpose of every assignment. Every assignment not only helped me to gain knowledge about different topics but also help me understand their meaning and how they reflect in our life. Ex. I never knew what is Emotion & learning was until I was given the assignment. There I found emotion is very muchly involved in our daily learning and it either builds our motivation to learn or could also discourage us to learn.…

    Everyone hates English class is what I thought before taking English 102. However, that may have been the case before I entered Dr. Byrd’s domain, but after finishing the class I have come to the realization that English class can be greatly resourceful. English 102 this year has had its ups and downs, and I must admit the ups outweigh the downs. Meaning, this year, I have learned that I am not a student who wants to read or write, but through reading and writing my mind and skill sets concerning English have grown. During English 102 this year, reading and writing in class helped me expand my writing skills, improved my will to comprehend, and most importantly helped expand my knowledge.…

    English 106 was the first real college class that I ever stepped foot in, and because of that, I was extremely nervous and unsure. The English teachers at my high school always said that the papers they assigned were held to college standards, and I always did well on those assignments, but I was still unsure about this course. I expected this course to be loaded with reading and writing assignments that would make me pull all-nighters on a regular basis. After going through English 106, I realized that there were not too many assignments and that I learned a lot from each one. To me, the most salient parts of this course were the discourse community paper, the annotated bibliography, the art analysis, peer reviews, revisions, and reflections.…

    Goal I The first goal of the program was to “Apply major concepts, theoretical perspectives, empirical findings, and historical trends in psychology to prepare for graduate study or careers in which psychological training is relevant”().

Introduction to Psychology was the first psychology course I took many years ago. It was the class I took because I had an empty slot on my schedule.…

    1. For me, the three most important things I learned in this class was to pay more attention to the behaviors obtained and expressed by children, I learned more information on the various ways that a teacher can adapt and accommodate the special needs their students might need in order to be successful in their learning outcomes, and finally I learned how important it is for teachers to take the extra time to learn about the different cultures their students come from, whether it be by participating in cultural events, reading some books, or finding additional ways to immerse themselves in it. 2. To implement the above practices into my classroom, I will be sure to interact constantly with my students and their families, always trying to learn…
