Section LC09

As the days go by , we are running out of time. This semester is coming to an end , but there is more ahead. We need to stay close and not forget from where we started LC09 will never be forgotten.

I find math at Baruch to be much harder than any math i have previously taken. However, it seems the more that time goes on the easier it gets for me. My biggest complaint is probably the rate at which my professor teaches the class. It seems like he is always in a rush to cover the topic and cares more about finishing quickly than actually understanding the material. I know that he has a schedual with a lot of material in a short amount of time but I think he can at least take the time to answer questions when asked in class. As for his grading methods I happen to like it very much. He drops the lowest test and quize which is a big help when you have that one bad grade that pulls down your whole average.

I was still able to view beautiful abstract works of art from one wonderful artist. Mercedes Matter was very into portraying abstract art in various ways. We saw how she painted items at age 15 and also later in her life. In many of her paintings she used colors shapes, and fruits. We were asked by our guide to locate some of the fruits she painted such as, apples pears, and avocados. After we got to her midlife paintings we noticed how she was very into paintings that had triangles in them. We noticed them everywhere on her paintings and how they helped balance and “support” her art. I was told by the tour guide that these paintings do not all belong to Baruch College. As a matter of fact many owners of these paintings allow Baruch’s Art Gallery to have them, for many different reasons. Baruch though uses them for education purposes. I must say that for my last required workshop, it was quite interesting and i definitely recommend every classmate of mine to check out the art gallery here at Baruch College

The presenter was the coordinator for Internships at Baruch College and she provided students with important information about internship opportunities along with an Undergraduate Internship Manual from the Career Development Center. Some topics discussed included the types of internships, setting specific learning objectives, internship opportunities and the Starr Career Development website. The main idea of this workshop was to acknowledge that the main priority is to familiarize yourself and adapt to the college environment while maintaining a competitive grade point average as a freshman before applying to an internship. I personally thought this workshop was incredibility informative and answered many of my anticipated questions I had in mind as a college freshman. I look forward to future workshops in career exploration such as the resume writing and interviewing workshop in the upcoming weeks. I recommend this workshop to other students because it was very helpful and the valuable information I gained from the workshop will take me one step closer to becoming successful here at Baruch College.

manage relationships. We discussed how to keep and manage relationships and I also made new acquaintances because we had to talk to other people in the room. At first I was quite shy because I had to break out of my comfort zone to talk to people I’ve never met before and learn more about them. The experience was great and besides learning how to keep personal relationships, we discussed professional relationships and where to make connections so that we can build out networks. I would definitely recommend this workshop to other people because it gives us information which are vital especially in the business field.
