Students' unions

Harry Simón, is a man that comes from a background similar to many of the CASP students. During the time of the course, he was able to provide insight into what the future may hold for many of us as students at UCSD. He expressed concern for us as a friend would, and he should be applauded for his great work. EDS 50 was not stressful as an independent course, but it did seem to be an excessive use of our time as students considering the majority of us have mandatory workshops to attend and an…

through experience, study, or being tought. I feel as though, in today’s society, teachers use misuse the concept of grading. Students find grades more important than taking the information being taught, experienced or studied and obtaining it. I agree with Kohn’s argument about grading, in his writing passage, “From Degrading to De-Degrading.” I look at grading students in a negative aspect due to the effects it gave my performance in learning. Looking back in my high school career, I remember…

The tripartite mode captures the sum of the required activities which a mentor has to conduct by displaying specific roles and exhibiting given behaviors .The three modes are: 1) Academic Midwifery The process of assisting the students in bringing forth their hidden or sleeping potential is termed as Academic Midwifery. A mentor should respect any oppositional ideas of the mentee and must be adaptive to different and non traditional techniques. He must be available when the mentee faces any…

Living on campus is an opportunity that all students should have the ability to experience; however, in a safe and wise manner. I am not saying that the residents should be parented and told what to do every waking hour; however, informing them of the risks and hazards of drug and alcohol consumption…

that were given to me so that I would be well prepared and equip to be beneficial to the students. Another skill I want to discuss is patience, patience is important because when the student’s do not understand their homework assignments they tend to get frustrated. Usually, I find diverse ways to present the problem to the students so that they can find a solution to their problem. I also encourage the students to take their time and use…

remain peaceful, but the dissenters are still minority voices. An example of a non-violent dissension is when the Highland Park High School’s principal was fired and the students lead a peaceful protest against the more powerful superintendent. Ultimately the protest did not change the decision of the authorities, but the students protested for their minority voice to be…

California for current and future students, it’s an issue that can easily be solved by either building more schools like Hanson had stated in his article or by reducing the class sizes. If the student doesn’t get into any classes then that they’re force to stay in school longer and that decreases the chances of graduating on time. The more time it takes to graduate, the more money students have to pay for tuition. Not only does overcrowded schools affect the students, it also affects the…

one in group projects who took the back seat, who just did what others told me to do, But at the beginning of my junior year my whole school was about to embark on a service trip, I was going to treat it like I had the year before, let my fellow students take the lead and I’ll just help out. I ended up taking the lead of my group and for the first time learning about what it means to be a leader. Before the trip there was a lot of preparation, we where going to visit and teach at a school 2…

Life is short, yet many people take it for granted. Life should be spent everyday focusing on your passions. I focus my time on seeking learning opportunities, helping others and travelling. These three passions are vital in my life to sustain my well being. Recently I have discovered my passion for learning, I have been blind to realize how much I appreciate learning and how it fulfills me. In school, particularly the social sciences department engages me. Social science is an interesting…

Hero A hero is commonly know as someone with superpowers but the actual definition of hero is someone who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. I am a hero because in my 6th grade year I worked very hard and won a few awards because of it. It all took place in the 5-6 community room. Elementary school is pretty easy compared to high school but I managed to get straight A’s. My homeroom teacher was Miss.Texter. I didn't Know her very well at the…
