What do you feel this course (UN100) should focus on? What do you need help in, specifically?Please write at least one paragraph focusing on your specific academic needs.
So, I understand that this course is supposed to prepare a freshman straight out of high school for life in the college setting. That being said there should be some room for separation in a certain area, the area of the non-traditional student. If that student is anything like me, or the others in this class, than let me see if I can smooth some things out here. As a student that has not just come out of high school and has held a full-time job for over 8 years, there needs to be a class oriented to Us! This is what i think some of my fellow students are trying to voice. Some of us are older than the demigraphic that this class is actually targeting. Make no mistake, the teaching is great. Kelly you are down to earth and you know exactly what is need to make this endeavor easier, plus you are easy to understand, talk to and a good advisor. You as well Maggie.
I belive what Im getting at is there should be a structured class for non-traditional students to learn how to reintegrate themselves into a learning/school environment. Speaking from experience its rough to get back into school and balance a full-tme job and have a family life, especially if we have kids. I believe that the help we as non-traditional students need, and what this class should focus on for us, or maybe what NMU should do for us, is design a class for the non-traditional student and the special needs we have. Just a thought, see ya'll in class. -Josh

I totally agree!! Like I said, FYE tried it one year and no one registered but I think they should try again, especially if it's required. I feel so frustrated most days trying to teach to non-trads & typical freshmen at the same time. Thanks for the advice! 10/10
ReplyDeleteNicely said Josh. I agree w/you 100%.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Josh man. I have pretty much forgotten everything from my years out of highschool/1 year of college i took a looooong time ago. It would be nice for a class full of refreshers and learning how to balance a full-time job, school, and the tiny shred of a social life i have.
ReplyDeleteWell said me boy
