The Instructor

demanding perfectionist instructor, who both share the same dream but have different ways of achieving it. Terence Fletcher doesn’t hesitate to use his own technique of racial, religious, and gay slurs, throwing chairs, and playing degrading psychological game to “motivate” his students and Andrew Neyman doesn’t hesitate to back down and use it to push himself beyond physical and psychological limits. In the last scene of the movie where Andrew is playing the song Whiplash and plays it in…

I was scared that my mom would be the first one, but as luck may have it, she was. When we were all seated she looked at me with a smile full of nerves and angst. Every emotion was racing through my mind as the plane came to halt. I was laughing, yet felt terrified as my mom stood up. All eyes were on her. I was holding on to my seat in fear and anticipation. Before I even had time to process what was about to happen, my mom and her instructor were gone like the wind. I remember feeling so proud…

within the performance rating cycle. I revamped 17 power-point presentations, for the course, to be used by staff members and students alike to enhance the instructor 's lectures and the student training experience. Along with the power-point presentations I generated five new unit review study aids, totaling approximately 120 questions…

Happiness is what follows being within your destiny: what we as humans were designed for, are the lessons that echo from my childhood rearing. The purpose of one 's life, naturally has a cloud of bliss following in the midst of being where he/she is appointed and designed to reign. These lessons are not being established within the foundation of students prior to becoming acquainted with me. Instead, the generation before me in my class wants the information now, without reading, without,…

In our daily life we see many people that consider themselves victims and they take advantage of the situation because is easier to blame others or lie back. Many victims complain about chores, homework or work; also they are always making excuses to not do what they are supposed to be doing. In my case I had to experience with a Suendy a classmate of mine refused to help out her team. She always had an excuse to why she was not able to help us out. All started last semester on fall 2015 in…

Langston Hughes is the author and speaker in the poem “Theme for English B.” Hughes uses the title of his poem to question the task given to him in English class. The task was simply to “Go home and write/a page.” The class instructor challenges Hughes to write the “truth.” Instead of making the title more specific to give us a better understanding of the poem, or what Hughes writes his one page about, he simply titles it “Theme for English B.” Hughes uses the title to tell us that he created…

through the studio doors I am able to leave my stress and worries behind, even if it is just for an hour. Yoga is not only my daily workout, but it is my escape; it is a place where I can find calmness, clarity, and composure. Some days I take back-to-back yoga classes. Being a part of two different classes provides me with the opportunity to observe – to compare and contrast the two classes from one another. The first class is an advanced vinyasa flow class, with seven students. As it is an…

As I entered, my mother saw a flyer for a teen drama camp. The flyer read: Come to Lake Arlington Branch Library to get the basics in acting, fun with other kids, and a chance to perform a play I thought about it for a while, and came to the conclusion, I’ll do it. Tuesday I arrived at 1:00 pm to the Lake Arlington Library. I found myself surrounded by kids in an itty bity room. There were at least twenty teenagers and one instructor. The instructor rallied us all together. She gave a great big…

and got out of the vehicle, the sounds of constant bangs from the police shooting range next door with a few chirps from the startled birds littered the air. We got to the range and stacks of paperwork awaited our signatures. He had to check my height, and made sure which gun was the best suited for my person. The instructor also determined which eye is dominant through a test. Once…

Not only does it give the instructor feedback on what the students are understanding but it can also promote preparation. If the students know that they should be contributing to class discussions, then they (most, not all) will start coming to class more prepared with the previously assigned materials. Along with making students more prepared, class participation helps the students get connected with certain topics that they might not have been very connected to before. Participating in class…
