Essay on Blackboard

Throughout history, the typical face-to-face learning system has been the only means of education. However, due to the rapid advances in technology, there has been an increase in the number of institutions offering online courses in the modern day. “Total student enrollment in distance education courses went from 754,000 in 1995 to 1.6 million in 1998 (Harasim, 2000), and over 3 million students enrolled in distance courses in the 2000-2001 academic year (Waits and Lewis, 2003).

I remember when I was in elementary school I was taught about figurative language such as similes and metaphors. A way my teacher made learning these figurative language devices was by giving us a chance to go up on the overhead projector. I was always as excited as a one year old baby who had just started walking to go up on the overhead. In fourth grade my teacher Ms. Davis always made sure that we all participated. Mostly everyone in the class enjoyed going up on the overhead projector. My…

The opening scene continues to say, “The SECRET WAS BURIED…COVETED…SUPPRESSED” and that it “WILL NEVER BE REVEALED TO THE PUBLIC.” It is explained that the greatest people in history knew this secret. Then you are told in many words that basically you can have whatever it is you want.…

Since coming to UCCS my writing has changed quite dramatically. When I enrolled at UCCS I was sure that I would not need to complete any additional English courses. Given, I had previously completed a master’s degree with a CLEP credit for English, but that was not the case.

In this week’s assignment, I had the pleasure of talking with my father-in-law, Harold Suresky. We spoke about major world events that took place while he was growing up and how it affected him. At a ripe old age of 91 he definitely had a lot to share about his generation the so--called Silent Generation. This generation can be characterized as being conformist (Massey, 2016, p. 67). Conformists tend to have traditional values and like to keep things the way they are, often resisting reformation…

Professionalism at the school campus has many roles that I have to take into consideration. The number one thing I feel is that I follow the school policies. Making sure that I wear the required uniform to include my ID badge. Making sure that I keep up good personal hygiene and no strong-smelling scents. Going to class every day and being on time, also meaning staying for the whole class time and not leaving early. Letting the school and the teachers know that I will be late or will not be…

Videos often attract students’ attention sooner because they are familiar with videos due to their experience from TV to movies in theaters since they were little. PPT is useful because of various materials that can be involved into it like pictures which can not be shown on a blackboard. Digital Natives prefer studying with graphics because they used to look at photos on phones every…
