Reflecting ON Today's Discussion

We touch base on a lot of topics today, we received our syllabus and it answered a lot of questions I had. The syllabus gave a break down of our grades and how each section will be graded, My writing is worth thirty- four percent of my grade, Wow I hope that goes well. The one thing that I do like about it, you can earn up to one thousand forty five points in this class and you only need nine hundred to get an A. So you can earn an additional one hundred forty five points in the class, which most teachers don't offer.



We have a lot of writing in this class that could be overwhelming, but that's college life. We also received a tentative schedule, versus the syllabus where it gives you a break down of your grade and how you will be graded. The tentative gives you a break down when your assignments are due, it tells you when your presentations, blogs and how many words needed for each blog, writing assignments, and etc. are due. That also helps out a lot. I think it teaches you self discipline and how to manage your time better.



The group presentation is a good idea versus where I have to get in front of the class and talk by myself its hard for some people to get in front of people and speak, and that some people includes me. and the group activity also teaches you responsibility, You have to think of the other people in your group and how by you not doing your part will effect the group from getting extra points, cause in the end those extra points could help a classmate out.



I think this class will be a challenge for me, but with a lot of hard work and a little prayer, I might be able to make it through this class. It seems overwhelming to me right now, but I think in the back of my head, it will all pay off for me when I get my degree.
