I thought I knew a lot of stuff but after going to Academic Advisement workshop, they gave me so much useful information. well it was little bit boring becuase some guy was asking stupid question that I gor mad a little bit because I felt like he was wasting our time.
This workshop is very helpful. Without this workshop, I may still lost track on what course I should take for the next semester. Also, this workshop provides a lot of useful information too. I think one of the advantages in colleges than high schools, is that you can choose the class you like to attend.
Last Friday we had an Academic Advisement Seminar. It was interesting and extremely helpful, because before going there I still had not been sure about how to deal with my schedule for the next semester. Now I am pretty confident about the process of choosing classes. I think that this is great when you have a choice what to study and when (with some exclusions). It is given to American students as granted. But in many countries, including Russia, when you get into a college, you do not have choice. I just have to stick to the schedule given to you by others for 3-4-5 years. So, once again, I thought about very comfortable conditions for students in the USA, which even cannot be imaginable to many students abroad.
I didn’t notice the registration for the spring semester is coming so soon until I attended this workshop. I am glad that Michelle arranged this workshop to be a mandatory meeting. Otherwise, I might still have no idea what those good options are and what I should register for the next semester. Now, I just need to prepare a lot of backup plans……(so frustrated).
This workshop is really helpful!! After knowing the professional way to organize a resume, I think I might need to write a new one to replace the one I’ve used since my junior year of high school. Hope the new resume can impress my future employer. Also, I can use some of the tips I learn from this workshop.
i knew how to choose course for next semeter. When I recieve the E-mail from baruch college, i feel really confused. After the academic advisement workshop, I learn a lot about which couse I should choose,.
I got my e-mail from Baruch about my appointment for registration of the next semester, and i was wondering what classes should i take. Thanks to this workshop, now i have an idea of what classes i need. I think i will take introduction to business, since its requirement for all. i will take physics for science credit, since i’m good at it, lol. i’ll choose recent America history to learn more about america. And Major issues in philosophy. and last, i will choose psychology just to get over it. Hope i can do well on all of these classes.
The SCDC was really helpful, I learned a lot. Everything they taught will be useful to me in the future. Before the workshop, i dont really know how to write a resume or how to act during an interview. Now i learned the format that a resume should be. The workshop talke a lot about interview, from how to dress, how to act, what to answer, what to ask, and how to end it. I really learned a lot from them.
Before I go to this workshop, I thought is extremely boring but it turned out to be a nice 90 mins to kill time. The speaker of this workshop used our daily life as an example to explain what is “networking” with a sense of humor. One of the mainpoint of this workshop that i found out is useful, “networking” is a powerful tool for you to success. Build up a friendship with anyone that you know, and they may help you in some day (it sounds little bit off of the meaning “friendship”, but that’s how it is). I assume we all know how to shake hand with others, but you have to be careful of the gesture or any kind of small details. For more details, please visit the networking 101 workshop. (sounds like ADs).
Visiting The Mishkin Gallery is a great experience to me. This gallery contains mostly black and white pictures, which modern people don’t preferred much. Although those pictures seem nothing else but ordinary, it emphasizes a strong meaning within the pictures.
I don’t know how to distinguish between meaningful or meaningless pictures before I visited the Mishkin Gallery. I noticed that all of the photos in that exhibit were somehow too ordinary. They were nothing like the Mona Lisa or The Last Supper, photos that will confuse people. For example, I saw a photo that shows a lot of soccer fans sitting together to watch to FIFA. They all dressed the same; wearing the same sunglasses and shirts. Without seeing that photo, I assume that we all know that’s how the soccer fans act. But after I saw it, I can imagine the enthusiasm of a soccer fans, I can the “feel” the photo. Maybe I am exaggerated, but that’s how I feel. And I know the reason of why I can’t tell the differences between meaningful or meaningless pictures, because every picture has its own meanings.
