Update on Classes

Classes this quarter are very interesting to me. In my Human Sexuality class we are learning a lot of important information and interesting topics; we just had our midterm the other day. This class is really fun and I would really recommend signing up with Professor Laura Harste. She makes the class really funny and interesting. She applies real life experiences to subject mater taught in class that helps you remember things for the exam.

In my Placement Seminar class we are still learning the major things we need to know for our internship. These include resume writing, interview techniques, professional posture, behavior and how to quote things to make everything sound positive about you. Some of these things I have never known before and I am finding to be very helpful. When I was at the Leadership Retreat someone mentioned that it would be useful if there was a similar class for freshman; I thought that was a great idea. It could be like a seminar on how to make your classes, make resumes and ways to apply for jobs.

We also just had our midterm in Microeconomics. I had the same professor I had for macro that I have for micro. This really helped because macro and micro are so similar it really helps to learn with the same teaching style. Professor Malumba is a great teacher and the way he explains things, I just get it. I think I did pretty well on the exam especially since we got a review sheet the week before with the exact same questions. We were able to even use the notes and notebooks on the exam.

I then have my two online classes Arts in the Contemporary Society and New Product Development. I never thought I would like online classes so much but I really do.
They are very convenient and easy to do once you get the hang of it. When we had the Inspire Your Heart with Art Day event in the student center, My professor from my Arts class was there and I finally got to meet her. Dr. St. John was really nice and friendly. She showed me some of her art work that she has made and explained to me how her art reflects her life. It was very meaningful.

A good mix of online classes and on site classes worked perfectly into my busy schedule. Next quarter I am doing the same thing with only one on site class on Tuesday night. It will work perfect with SGA meetings being on Tuesday and my internship that I will be doing. I can’t wait to start looking for one!
