The first major I really have looked into this semester is Communication. I think this major really goes well with my ideals and values because I like working with people and social situations. Communication requires one semester of math which I am planning on taking this summer and I am okay with doing so. You need four semesters of a second language which I am starting fall of 2016 which I planned on. To declare this major one must have a in person meeting with an advisor and attend a…

not relaxed then not performing as well seems to be quite possible. The 400% increase in participants who don’t feel stress in the math classroom after the action implementation shows me the impact of removing a grade. I enjoyed seeing students being able to focus during assessments and not squirming in the chair and asking questions on how to complete a particular task. When the students were presented with a task that they were not real comfortable with or did not understand proficiently…

Dear Members of the Reinstatement Committee: I am applying to be reinstated for the spring semester of 2017. This past semester has been tremendously harder for me that I originally thought. The statement, you don’t realize how much something means to you until its gone could not have proved more true to me in the past couple of months. I have loved my time at Washburn but last spring I let myself get lazy and I take full responsibility for that. I did participate in the STAR program like I…

Grade Inflation Is grade inflation fair? Depends on who you might ask. When people think about grade inflation do they think about those classes, where thanks to a curve, they were able to go from a failing D to a passing C. Then there are others who think about their friend that never went to class, barely studied, and turned in assignments late who their grade got inflated to pass with a C thanks to a curve. There are two types of people, those who work hard and those who do not. Sometimes…

Isaac Newton had a rough childhood. He was born December 25, 1642. His father died before he was even born, and at the young age of three, his mother left him in the care of his grandmother to go remarry. His mother had three more children with her new husband, so that made Isaac, one of four kids. He went to school at the ages of 12-17, and was then pulled out to help farm. After that, he was admitted to college with the help of his uncle, where he was awarded a scholarship. That scholarship…

Portfolio Essay “You are the Vanguard Class of 2020,” said Lieutenant Colonel Cross after a long first day at USMAPS. In July 20, 2016 this phrase did not mean much to me. I completely ignored the definition of what a vanguard is. By definition a vanguard is a group of people leading the way in new developments or ideas. After three semesters of rigorous academics and military bearing, I now understand and know what it feels like to be a part of the Vanguard Class of 2020. Throughout the…

Once upon a time, in the year 2013, on the island of Oahu, there was a student who was going to start the beginning of 7th grade in Waipahu Intermediate School. That student was a boy named Jarren Calizo. In Elementary, Jarren was a very determined academic student who always strived for ME (meets exceeds) grades, the elementary version of an A, and ended up achieving perfect grades every time. He worked independently a lot of times and helped confused classmates. During the summer of 2013,…

Throughout this semester, I have had many challenges. From taking too many classes, along with working my very first job, to dropping two classes and barely passing the ones that I am still taking. Although the challenges did affect me and how my performance in English 102, that is not an excuse. I have been using my challenges as a crutch for too long. My mother always told me, "God comes first, then school and everything else will fall in line." I always heard her say it, but I never listened.…

Weighted Average Math 123 I have designed an Excel sheet providing information over a Psychology 205. This class was graded by homework 10%, quizzes 10%, papers 25%, midterm 25% and final grade 30%. After all the information of the students was provided, the average in general was solved by using the Excel program. The Excel program solved everything, I just typed in the information that was provided and the equation for the program found the solution. It came to the conclusion, that the…
