Non-traditional student

Mid Semester Reflection One developmental “aha” moment I’ve experienced while interning in the Ducks classroom is the realization of each child’s specific temperament, or temperament style after my second week of being around the children. A couple of the children have a flexible temperament and typically have positive moods, adapts easily to new situations, are easy to feed and put to sleep, and have moderate reactions when their parents leave after dropping them off. One of the children has a…

In my life there are two primary forms of stress, Distress and Eustress (there is also Neustress but it is very small and not really worth mentioning). Distresses in my life include, My fear of failing in school, fear of messing up at work and getting fired (professional), fear of disappointing my parents (personal), and sadness over my friends not being in good spaces (personal), feeling useless when my friends won’t let me help them (personal), over-thinking my own thoughts and getting…

response to industrialism. The first reason on how school kills creativity is because there’s not enough motivation. Subjects like creative writing, music, dance and theater are being pushed to the side to emphasize the importance of STEAM (Perez,1). Students will no longer be able to work on things they like…

fixed mindset and growth mindset. Growth mindset means that students know that they need to work strenuously to achieve success while on the other hand fixed mindset students believes that intelligence is a fixed trait and they cannot change it, if a person is smart they can do anything. Students with fixed mindset think that they were born smart and do not have to do anything to improve themselves. On the contrary, growth mindset students believe that they need to work hard and put effort to…

To Start off, I chose to react to Professor Emerson’s scholarly paper because I strongly believe to better understand a professor’s teaching style it is important to examine real life examples of their personal work. Most teaching today involves already premade PowerPoints that the teachers base their lectures off, I have noticed Professor Emerson has a Unique way of teaching, but nevertheless, there are still the same PowerPoints that are used every year. So, a personal article like “Law as…

Harmony (An Analysis of an Ideal Leader Using Plato’s, The Republic, and Machiavelli’s, The Prince) History is taught in school throughout the world in an attempt to prevent the repetition of major mistakes. From the past, we can follow the patterns of governments and societies that dwelled harmoniously, and the ones who fell to poverty and overall destruction. “America’s economic history seems to repeat itself endlessly, following irregular and dramatic cycles” (Dornbusch). No matter how…

the modern student and the behaviors they feel will help them succeed. She published her findings in a book titled Doing School. In Doing School, she follows five students at Faircrest High School. Pope analyzes their behaviors and why they do them. Firstly, Pope discusses the “Predicament of Doing School.” She describes “Doing School” as how students manipulate their teachers and the system in order to get ahead. Pope categorizes these behaviors into four different habits that students rely…

The goal of this is to show how fraternities, in particular, Pi Kappa Alpha can be a discourse community for the involved members. Also, I hope to prove that fraternities in general can be looked upon as a positive association that give “kids” opportunity who in the end will become men. I had no idea really what discourse communities were until the article, “The Concept of Discourse Community” by John Swales, a linguistics professor at the University of Michigan, who eventually proved to me that…

When two rhetors are engaging in a debate, they can easily argue past one another if a mutual level of stasis is not settled upon. In the debate of “A Short History Of Torches And Intimidation” written by Sarah Bond and “Parents Fight Over Pledging Allegiance In Schools” written by Tovia Smith, both rhetors can agree that symbols serve a certain function and when those functions are abused it can cause conflict and uproar, especially when the function confronts the question of whether or not it…

“What is the TRUTH about JonBenet Ramsey’s death?” The mystery was an eyecatcher to us and we thought it would be to you too. The reason we got deep into doing this is that our teacher mentioned it last year during class and we got very interested in it. We hoped to learn the actual evidence of the case not just opinions. We got deep looking all over the web to get the facts. This case is not been solved it is still going and has been twenty years.We also wanted to how and why she was murdered.…
