So I have no problem giving credit to where credit is due. All in all COMM 150 has been helpful to my academic career, but more so the teacher. I believe without COMM 150 I would still be trying to Wikipedia for my research assignments and receive a low grade on my papers. So I am truly thankful for all the annoying assignments I had to complete. I also look forward to doing more papers in the future on my career and other things; since the more knowledge you have the better off you will be in
Team B: Mellissa Smith 1. What went well in the project? What could have gone better? I thought the project work itself was fun, creating the reports and memos and other communication were great practice for the real world. I really enjoyed getting to know 2 of my team members whom I worked very closely with on this project and will keep in touch with after this class is long over.
Relying solely on online classes for education would add more work, as opposed attending class on-campus, make students and teachers feel isolated and there would be no need of any extended amount of motivation. Firstly, online courses are not for everyone. Some students who are in certain programs would need to be in a physical classroom to learn. Some of these programs would include: any tech class (construction and manufacturing), cooking and nursing. Students in these programs would require hands-on work to gain the appropriate knowledge in that program.
Benefits of Higher Education Most people set out to go to college or some other formal training and others have no plan of extending their education and therefore have no idea the benefits they could have by earning a degree. Sure it takes more time to complete, but the time invested will be well worth it. I believe that one should at least explore the option of going to college at some point in their education. Higher education opens so many doors and gives you the opportunity to examine your options in life, such as your career, where do you want to work, how much you want to get paid and so forth. A good education gives you these options and gives you a better opportunity to succeed in life.
I know Digital Sabbath might be a good idea for me to do since I would get more time to go outside and enjoy with my friends and also I won’t remain restless and be more active. Some pros the Digital Sabbath has are it keeps us more active, more family bonding time, volunteer for a good cause, and appreciate the things around me. Some of the cons are I won’t chat with my long distance friends, won’t know what’s going around in the world and I won’t be able to go on social media website to see what’s going on. Overall Digital Sabbath is a great idea but it is hard for everyone to impose it on them
Invincible In both the book and movie Invincible they both tell the great story of Vince Papale's journey from a teacher/bartender to reaching his all time dream of becoming a Philadelphia Eagle. The movie is directed by Ericson Core and the book was written by Vince Papale himself. On every book to movie comparison very rarely are the stories exactly alike, in this case however the stories are very similar with only a few slight differences. In the Novel Vince was a full time Teacher and a part time bartender in Philadelphia. The school he was teaching at had little too no funds and laid him off so with only having a part time job left he needed financial help pretty bad.
The campus tours showed me that an education in our home town or community college is not the only option. The tours help me to think about education outside of the state. This is a real booster shot for me personally since I never considered going out of state for college because of my low income
College is a place where you gain independence and learn something new every day. If everyone were given the opportunity to attend college for free, there would be much less stress on less fortunate families but more happiness because their child is going to make a difference in the future. Therefore, college should be free to all qualified
Incorporating more relevant information into the curriculum, will allow students to become more interested. Of course this will not apply to every student that walks through the classroom doors, because every student is unique, but these modifications will benefit the majority of the student
Students taking online classes are free to express their opinion on message thread which allows other students to comment also and keep conversation going. Through distance learning students who are shy and not open to conversation can easily express and help them become more comfortable. “Generally speaking face to face communication with an instructor is minimized or eliminated altogether” (Barszcz 151). Distance learning can go both ways, if a student prefers to attend campus and have face to face contact it’s totally up to them, but for those students who are independent and are working full-time distance learning is the only option for them to advance in their career. For students who are living on their own with expense such as rent and bills, distance learning make their lives easy and can be managed with full-time job.
