General Study Tips–Academic Enrichment

On Tuesday I went to a General Study Tips workshop. I was a bit late and there were only three other students in that workshop. The professor went over some English reading and writing tips such as: active reading, annotations, reading out loud to catch errors and how to effectively write an essay. One main thing that we should do is write an outline and plan ahead long before the paper is due. The professor also added that it is important to add our own thoughts to the essay as that is what the professors truly want.

So basically it made sense and it was some useful advice.

Club Fair–Student Life

Today, I went to the Baruch Club Fair. There were rows of tables down at the Main Gym, and attached to those tables were the names of various clubs. There were a lot of people and it was somewhat difficult to see what the clubs were, but overall, I managed to see what they were all about. There were a lot less clubs than I expected, but I managed to sign up for two clubs, and I met someone new.
BTW For one of the clubs (I can’t remember which one) that I went to, you had to sign up for membership online, and you had to pay for the membership. So be sure to ask them specific questions about signing up for the clubs.

Freshman Reception Workshop–Student Life

On Thursday, I attended the Freshman Reception workshop. When I went, they weren’t handing out any folders or documents. But my friend had a copy, and I was able to see what it was all about.
Basically it was all about the majors and minors that Baruch offered. If you look into the school’s website and the school’s bulletin, you would see that it contains all of the information (maybe even more) about the majors and minors that Baruch offers. 
But, if you’re curious, it wouldn’t hurt to get a copy of the documents and look it over.
