I thought the Freshmen Reception from last Thursday was a complete waste of time. It was totally unorganized and the fact that they did not expect the turnout that they had made me angry. They should have known that the response would be overwhelming because they sent out so many emails and postcards to the freshmen. So now because of that, they ran out of folders and tomorrow many of us have to take time out of our schedules to go back to that office. Hopefully it’ll be more organized.
[EDIT] After being told that there were no more folders left, the woman then explained to us what we would find in the folders. In it, we would find the types of minors that are offered and the form we must fill out to declare the minor. I went back to the Advisement Center the Tuesday following the Freshman Reception to retrieve the packets that we were to get the previous week.
I selected this particular workshop because it was the only one being offered. It did not take me out of my comfort zone, although it made me very frustrated that it was very unorganized and the crowd was larger than originally anticipated. Therefore, it definitely failed my expectations. I would NOT recommend this to another student unless they like extreme headaches.
I do not feel that I learned anything from this workshop. If I could give suggestions to those who organize this workshop, I would tell them that for the future there should be different dates of this workshop and assign dates to different blocks to attend them. This way, it would be more beneficial to the students and it would hopefully be more organized.
yeaa they totally did not expect so many to show up because they based it on previous years’ events. yea definitely, let me know how the other events go, i’m sure they would be more organized and fun!
