Lecture hall

To attend these panels or speeches the students got to go on many marvelous field trips. We received the honor of visiting the Oklahoma state capitol, The Oklahoma medical Research Foundation, and The Oklahoma Hall of Fame. At each of these locations educated professionals would teach us about how to lead others and ourselves. We were gifted with the chance to listen to amazing individuals such as James Williamson, one of HOBY’s founders, Doctor Courtney Griffin…

I have become a brighter and sharper student, especially in the English department. This senior year I was pushed harder in my English class than I ever had been before. My world was full of annotations, lectures, essays, and books. I thought that I would never emerge from the experience with any sort…

after the professor finished that topic. I went to my dorm room and found Daniel was at his desk skyping his father. He tried to introduce me to him, but I rushed to get underneath the cover of my blanket. I tried to forget what I had just learned in lecture because it was caused me more distress than I was already having. “Are you doing okay, Mark?” asked Daniel as he was shutting his computer down. “You need to get anything off of your chest?” “I just need some alone time, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO…

More and more schools started adding training courses that consisted of arts and crafts, medical lectures, hospital etiquette, and practical experience. The only thing required for the training program was a high school diploma. Some people like Susan Cox Johnson were concerned that the programs were put together to quickly and were not concerned…

radio stations had started all over America and the radio craze had begun. Within a 7-year time span, 60% of families in America bought home radios for nighttime entertainment (Eckstein 1).

possible solution. Also, additive manufacturing is a great resource when it comes to open-ended problems because it can be used as a way to test different possible solutions in the real world, learn from mistakes when things fail, and test new solutions (Hall 1). Learning hands-on by testing solutions to an issue is the most effective way to learn science topics because it connects a common subject to a real world problem, allowing students to actively learn by finding one of many possible…

My Awakening began with a visit to the Missouri Zen Center in Webster Groves. I have a family connection to Zen Buddhism through my niece and nephew. This piqued my curiosity of what it was like inside a temple or center for Buddhism.
