are involved. This brought up on of my first questions, which was who is your advisor. Every great club has a strong advisor to over look procedures, so I wanted to know the person behind the scenes making sure everything went as planed. Darren explained to me that Dr. Kelly from the chemistry department was the advisor. Throughout my interview Darren would talk about his past involvement with student bodies at his high school. This is when I questions if all the officers have had past…

I want to first start off by saying how sorry I am that the court move was rejected, I wish you luck on the circuit court. I got your letter Tuesday last week, which was when my finals were for my accelerated classes, I hope you won’t get mad at me if I make this letter a bit shorter than my previous ones, but I am a little tired of writing so much for school. You will be happy to know I got all A’s in college so far, mainly because college is definitely easier than high school. I also now have…

What is a computer? If you were to stop any random person on the street, and ask them the simple question, what is a computer? They would just smile, briefly chuckle, and continue on their way. Trust me, I have done that several times before, and spoiler alert, they all ended that way. I believe there are two reasons for this. The first, is that they know what a computer really is and think you are joking and therefore move on with their lives. The second, is that they don’t have a clue what a…

Examine the questions that you answered incorrectly on the exam. To what extent did these items come from a specific set of class materials (readings, lectures, recitations, ALEKS, end-of-chapter problems)? To what extent did they focus on certain topics? Did you tend to misread the questions? Were you careless? Did you run out of time? The majority of these items that I was careless on were concepts…

Sincere questions: are questions that one person genuinely asks another person for a honest/informative response in return. Asking a sincere question can also lead to an emotional conversation if the person is being bothered or concerned over something. A time with sincere questioning that I have experienced was last quarter when I had to do an interview for my sociology class. The interview was meant to be taken seriously so that we could find out how a certain experience helped shape the…

disrupted the class more than usual. The students wanted to engage in conversation and to catch me up with last week’s activities. However, with their attention on me, they were not focusing on the Brainpop that was happening on screen. Brainpops are two to three minute videos about a literary theme or a classic novel. After watching the video twice, the teacher will give the class a ten question quiz. This week was Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Once the class settled down enough to do the quiz, I sat…

My Last Duchess “My Last Duchess,” by Robert Browning, is about a duke in search for a new bride. The Duke of Ferrara is giving a tour of his estate to a servant of a Count in hopes to marry his daughter. The poem is set in what seems to be an art gallery and the duke spends most of his time in front of a portrait of his last duchess and talks about what she was like. Apparently, the Duchess was easily made happy and that was problematic according to the Duke, so much it was enough to have…

writing process. The goal is to stir up as much creativity as possible within the students. In order to effectively facilitate these writing activities, they should last no longer than twenty minutes and should be alternated, so as to prevent students from becoming bored and uninspired with them. Also, it is helpful to cater questions towards ideas and concepts that will be covered on future exams and convey this to students early on, so as to motivate them to enthusiastically complete them;…
