    The Paradox on the Use of Technology for Taking Notes During the first few weeks as a college freshman I identified many contrasts of a higher education and the public school system I was formed in. Grade school, and eventually secondary school, highly discouraged the use of electronics in the classroom. In fact, the use of electronic devices at all on campus was grounds for detention, a confiscation of the ‘contraband,’ and the phoning of parents to retrieve the device from the assistant…

    Even though "Hills Like White Elephants" was written in the 1920's, the topic of the story continues to be a controversial subject. The word abortion is never used throughout the story, but it is obvious early to the reader that the American is persuading a woman named Jig to undergo the procedure. It is evident she does not want the operation, but the American ignores her subtle hints. He pretends to be concerned with her thoughts and tries to moderate the difficult operation she is about to…

    efficiently. Incorporating music in the classroom can make it easier for students to understand and learn. Music can help students who need help in subject areas, such as speech or math, and can enhance their skills. It is important to keep music in schools because it can help children with language and grades, and can also help when a student is struggling in the subject. Singing can help children learn how to pronounce and recognize words, which can benefit their reading and speaking skills.…

    -Timing during your presentation: Another important aspect is timing. How long should you take to make your speech? Some think that it should all depend on the subject you want to talk about, which is true; but you should also think about the timing for the speech by asking yourself just how much is enough to inform, entertain or educate people. How much is enough for questions after the speech? How long is long enough, when you are using accessories or tools to help you for your presentation?…

    do, but we had to learn to be able to go to the next topic, and if we didn’t pass that subject with an eighty percent or higher we had to repay and retake the subject course till we got an eighty percent, we also had to dress in a white long sleeve tee with a tie, blue pants, and dress shoes. Private school was completely opposite to public school you can get a seventy and pass and if you didn’t get the subject you were learning they would go on ahead despite if you got the…

    Walking into English 28 that first Wednesday of class I had no idea what to expect. I was a bit nervous, being that I had been out of school for over 10 years and English is my least favorite subject, but I just wanted to get it out of the way, so I wanted to take it first. Surprisingly, I actually found the class very hopeful and easy to understand. I learned many different things. Among those things, three things really stood out, the writing process, different types of paragraphs, and…

    only selectively hear things based off of becoming defensive. My initial expectations would affect my listening. Due to not agreeing with the subject I might not listen well and want to express my own opinion about the matter. Depending on my mood I may not want to listen or respond at all to avoid a confrontation as well. Abortion is a rather touchy subject. I don’t think anyone is really credible enough to determine whether abortion is murder or not in all circumstances. This includes myself.…

    College is a rapid paced environment when it comes to learning and the professors do not have time to stop and baby their class like they are used to. When a new subject is being brought up the students need to quickly learn it and if they are having a problem with it will have to seek outside help because unlike high school the subject is not going to be retaught to them multiple times. Although learning like this can be harder it is more effective and the teachers can introcuce more topics so…

    have no idea of the back-story behind it, and would assume that I was the subject because of the first person POV. However, I have learned that this is not a bad thing. After all, my goal is to write poetry that speaks to people and stirs emotion, not to present my personal experience to the world. Sometimes a poet has to be an actor, an imposter – which is what I had to do with this write. I had to empathize with my subject, dig into her soul not mine, and put myself into her shoes, and I felt…
