Today, I attended the Personal Enrichment Workshop – Reception. I did not know what to expect from it. I received a folder, containing information on credits requirements, how to calculate your gpa, a list of possible minors, and etc. An advisor, Ms. Brown, reviewed these handouts with us. She explained that since we do not have 75 credits yet, we cannot schedule an appointment with the Academic Advisement Center. However, we can go on the Degree Works website for any information we need. She talks about the responsibilities of an advisor to an advisee and vice versa.
Overall, I had a nice experience with this workshop. The advisor was very welcoming to the freshmen class so that was great.This workshop was very useful, in the fact that it provided many important information regarding credits. I have to keep track of my credits and what courses I take. With the handouts, I can refer back to it if anything. The advisor noted the importance of Degree Works and with that, I will keep in mind to check up on it frequently. I would recommend this workshop because everybody should know what and how many credits they need. The folder of information is what I am going to go back to for anything.
