Seminar

Students will complete a seminar ticket prior to entering the classroom for the seminar. The seminar ticket consists of 3 questions that students need to answer based on the text and I will be checking off the tickets as students are arriving into the class. This ticket lets me know that the students read the text prior to entering the classroom and has some recollection of the question they have about the text and their own opinions and values on the text itself. The ticket also lets me know as…

from Joyce Meyers, which emphasizes the idea of success having different meanings to each individual. Success at this point of the semester is determined by the books being read and how they are interpreted, which demonstrates the difference between Seminar I to II because of the texts style and how the class is formatted to reach a higher understanding through: shared inquiry, critical thinking, and written and oral communication. From these three categories I was able to find my strengths and…

I sent my fellow peer teachers a pdf copy of a journal article I intended for them to read before coming to the seminar today. The title of the article is Current Perceptions of the Role of Dental Hygienists in Interdisciplinary Collaboration. I asked my colleagues to highlight the concepts they find interesting or ideas that they don’t agree with if they find any. I started our seminar with an introduction of our topic and the journal. I then proceeded with what I thought of the article. I…

The main take-away from this seminar is that war is ever-present and ever-changing. Kaitlin said that war will never decline, especially when our technology is only getting more powerful. I agree with this statement, the U.S alone has created technology that can make going to war very simple and easy. Even though war has been a part of our nation for a countless amount of time, war has evolved. Like Donya said, war has become based on nuclear warfare, and the use of guns has decreased. I both…

was so essential for me to learn how to write academic papers and enter an actual scholarly discussion, which will allow my writing to have an actual impact in the real world. When I started my writing seminar, I had an idea of what good writing was from high school, and through writing seminar, I built on those skills as well as developed new skills. In high school, I learned that…

I enjoyed learning about criminology and particularly about white collar crime how ever having lectures on a Friday and seminars on Monday was difficult for me to fit all extra work that I was given from my other modules also as my weekend job, attending lectures and seminars Monday to Friday. Due to having the lectures on a Friday and only two days to prepare for the seminars sometimes…

Individuality is the greatest threat to a utopian society, if one person doesn’t like the way the leader is running the show, then why should you continue to follow their lead? This is the problem I tackled in my final project, as I produced a seminar that was telling students from a fictional institution how to run their utopian societies in a way where they could eliminate or control individuality. Of course their are many different ways to see a utopian society, sometimes it is optimistic,…

Edgar Allan Poe’s death is a very controversial topic. No doubt about it. When it's brought up in conversation, many people begin to argue. Last week, our class held a Socratic Seminar about this topic. And I believe that what I chose to talk about was the right decision, and how I knew it was. During the Seminar, I brought up the theory of cooping, thinking it would be the right thing thing to do. Just in case you don't know, Cooping is a form of kidnaping the involves drugging someone,…

Before this , the other seminar was really boring and no fun at all. To be honest, the seminar about public speaking is the best seminar in this semester. Before this, I will feel very sleepy during the other seminar but because of his charismatic and his enthusiasm, he able to keep me awake. The way he conveys his talk is really something and keep me awake for the whole 3 hours of seminar. All the activities that being carried out during his talk is really…
