Final Reflection

Even though a lot of people and myself thought that US 180 was a class we thought was unnecessary, at the end of the day we can all learn something, and I honestly did. I put what I learned in Freshman Academy and put it to the test. Doing reading logs every week plus more. I always assess myself so I can know if I'm doing something wrong or right and the things that I should continue to do. Some of my classes are getting harder as the semester comes to an end and some of them are getting better because they are easy to understand and study for, but US 180 is coming to an end, but I will use what I learned. I haven't missed a class yet or have I been late so that is something I am proud of. I started doing things like volunteering and joining clubs, so I feel like as a person I am growing socially and growing academically as well.

Library Assignment

This week, for my U.S. 180 class we had to do an assignment called the " Library Assignment". I found out different resources and help that I could use if I needed help on papers, research papers, etc. The knowledge Market is a place where you can get help on different subjects. I go there every Monday for tutoring in Psychology, but they do other subjects as well. I have a paper that I'm working on in my writing 098 class , it's about money and how it affects me and people as a whole. I learned that we can reserve study rooms in the library and have a study session with friends and classmates. Me and Angel reserved a room in Pew Library on the second floor and talked about our papers. She helped look at main ideas in my paper in a different way, so now I'm going to rewrite my paper using some of our ideals that we made up together. The study rooms are up to 5-6 people so maybe next time more people can join us. Plus it's a whole bunch of librarians that are around to help us. They were very nice and helpful when we had questions and they gave us information that we needed.

Writing Assignment

In my US 180 class, we took what we learned in Problem Solving Methodology and we put it to use. In a group we all had to come up with a problem and we had to use the 10 steps of problem solving to solve our problem. Our problem was saving money. Why is it so hard to save our money? What do we spend our money on? is some of the questions we had to ask our self. This activity was fun and it gave me a chance to go through some of the steps in problem solving methodology and put it in a real life scenario.
