This workshop was similar to some things we talked about at the start of our Philosophy class. We were given some situations and asked what we would do if we found ourselves in them and why we would do whatever it is we responded. It was an interactive workshop and it was a little more fun then some of the other workshops which we only just sat through and listened to someone talk.
Reading and Taking good notes
This was another very helpful workshop. We talked a lot about the different styles of note taking and I came to terms with how horrible I am at taking notes. We talked about active reading and how to analyze what you read. Some of the things we discussed were things that we’ve been learning over and over since before high school but they are good skills to have so in the end this was a very helpful workshop.
Impression Management
I think this was one of the most helpful workshops of all the ones I have been to. We learned about setting a good image for ourselves and creating lasting good first impressions. I already knew that it was a good idea to make sure you have a good image but this workshop has been helpful in making me realize how I can go about making sure I can do so.
Mercedes Matters Gallery
Besides the long wait, I had very interesting time at the gallery. The artwork was really interesting to take a look at. We learned a little about the backgrounds of the paintings and although it was a little short I guess it was enriching to learn a little bit about the art.
Impression Management
In this workshop we learned about managing a good image. I liked this workshop because I believe impressions can go a long way. Alot of pointers were given and I agreed with most of them. I found it to be educational, and helpful.
Reading and taking good notes
In this workshop we dicussed certain styles to note taking. We also talked about how to become a good reader and analysist. It was helpful but more of a review, however I learned some new things and it’s always good to review.
Managing Relationships
In this workshop students talked about relationships and how to maintain them. We talked about how time can be important and how prioritizing things can help. Organization is also key because when you are organized you handle more things. Overall, this workshop was interesting and truthful.
Club Fair
I found the fair fun. It was cool to see all the clubs. It was also easy that they were all together so finding what you were looking for wasn’t a hassle. The people seemed cool and they were nice, I really got to see what certain clubs were really about. I was kind of surprised to see that there were that many clubs at Baruch.
Ethics Workshop
In this workshop we talked about personal beleifs and moral values. We were presented situations and asked what we we do. In addittion to a response, some rationing was also expected. Its always good to talk about ethics because its important and it has to do with our everyday lives. We also discussed types of plagarism and how to avoid it. It wasn’t boring either since everyone seemed involved it was sort of active and not just passive.
