a. Talk about how your experience at Baruch lived up to your expectations. Not lived up to your expectations? Exceeded expectations?
Baruch has lived up to my expectations, a teacher commented how Baruch students would end up working more than some Ivy league students and so it has lived up to that expectation. It has exceeded my expectation of the library, the library is very beautiful and has a lot of material for us to lend. Baruch does not seem to be that stressful it seems to be just like how Brooklyn Tech was like. It has exceeded my expectation in that there are so many people. Even though there were are five express elevators each day at around 2:15 the elevators are unbelievably crowed and I thought that one crowed elevator in Brooklyn Tech was bad.
b. how well do you think your 1st semester went?
I think that this first semester could have been better because I think that I could have been more productive and should have started some of my assignments ahead of time so I could have more time to look things over and correct them. Aside from classes I was able to make a few more friends through this learning community. This semester is not a bad one but I think that it could have definitely gone better if I had planned out my schedule better than I have in this term. This semester with the LC events it has been quite entertaining. We were able to incorporate learning with a dash of fun so it has been a very interesting semester and has also been very enjoyable.
c. what would you do differently this semester if you could do it again?
If I can change the way I have done things this semester I would choose to be more productive and make sure that all of my assignments are done earlier so I would have less to worry about throughout the week. In addition, I would dedicate more time to my essays as well as to studying for the tests that were administered. Although the scores weren’t bad I think that there is more room for improvement.
d. How have you changed since you started at Baruch college?
I have changed because I have been more productive than I have been in high school. In addition, in high school I have tried to keep my notes in order and I would rewrite my notes for every single one of my classes but at the end of the day I was so tired that it was just mission impossible. However, at the beginning of the school year I have typed up my notes so each day I would return home to make sure I have all my notes computerized. This way it would be much easier when it comes time for studying. I have also done more studying for the courses because these are subjects that I have never taken prior to them so these are new subject.
