Seminar

This first glimpse into the life of an OTEAM member has been enlightening, both on a personal level and as I move forward as a First Year Seminar mentor. I learned about IUPUI, it's mission for its staff and students, and how OTEAM is interwoven with the university's goals. I learned how to engage my students by being there, choosing my attitude, incorporating elements of play, and by making their day (small moments build up to a big impact). I've also learned not to push students away by…

Aud LSEM 19 Longwood Seminar Paper The Longwood Seminar encourages self-sufficiency, personal responsibility and citizen leadership. I like that Longwood stresses and teaches these three concepts because it definitely betters the school in many ways. The transition from high school to this University is unreal. It is hard to explain but I can put it like this, Longwood is much more of a tight-knit community and I seriously believe that it because of the concepts that the seminar both encourages…

Experience in Freshman Seminar Coming into Avila University I had not thought about the way people see and treat others. My focus was, for the most part, on classes that were key in my major. Freshman seminar is a required class here at Avila to graduate that I was quite honestly not excited about to begin with. None the less I came into it with an open mind about the subject of the class. Since starting this class it has been an experience that has changed the way I think starting with the…

Creative Coursework-THE 541 Seminar Stage Directing-Directorial Concept for Crave by Sarah Kane During this course I gained knowledge regarding directorial techniques during collaborations, discussions, and readings. The knowledge and techniques gained from this assignment are practical and applicable to directing. I chose this specific project as my strongest work because of the content. I had no prior knowledge of Sarah Kane or In-Yer-Face theatre. The research for the project taught me how to…

In this paper, I will reflect on things learned in seminar such as jobs and other valuable information. I will also offer my suggestions on how to make it better…

I would like to attend the United States Navy Summer Seminar because I have been aspiring to look into the Navy. With both of my parents retired Navy veterans, my want to serve this country started when I was young. Even from a young age, I could see the amount of respect they gained and I now can only hope to receive the same in my lifetime. I believe that attending the Summer Seminar will help me decide what I want to do with my future. I recently received the National Academy of Future…

Thoughts on First Year Seminar When I first decided to take this course I did not have high expectations for it. I thought it would be an easy class to take and all we would talk about is the problems African-Americans face in modern America, I was wrong. The exercise on the first day was actually eye opening. Basing a person’s race on their name and picture may seem easy but, it can actually show how little you know about race and ethnicity. Growing up, I had many interactions with individuals…

The Cornerstone Seminar is the first college class that I have taken in eleven years, so what can I say, I learned a great deal, or in actuality… I am sure relearned. I was a continual college student for a period of six years either part time or full time during the early 2000’s, but I muddled around and changed my degree four times. Hey – I want to know everything about everything – and that’s a big task! It’s an annoying peculiarity about myself that I am attempting (yes, this is in present…

Jesus Seminar Paragraph Marcus J. Borg attests in his book Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time that Jesus comprises two distinct personas; “the pre-Easter Jesus” and “the post-Easter Jesus” (20). He further implies that it is necessary for us to be able to differentiate between these identities, and cites and commends “the work of a group of scholars known as the Jesus Seminar” in dutifully analyzing and clarifying these necessary distinctions (21). Borg states that the Seminar “[has] met…

effective discussion. But there was one thing I definitely need to work on is.... after a classmate answers my question....instead of saying yes I agree..... I should put my own opinion and bring the discussion further. The notes "What is a Socratic Seminar?" there was a section labelled 'good discussion' and I think that was my biggest weakness. I think after someone answered a question I should of added on and made the class even think deeper, however I will definitely try to do this next…
