Dear Professor Jones,

We have done two pieces of homework, but I got very low grade. Can you give me some comments that can help me improve the grade? In the homework, listening to political issues is a big challenge for me. Can you give me some suggestions for the future homework? Thank you!

Sincerely,

Bin Chen

1. Tell us who you think YOU are!

I’m Bin Chen, and I come from China. I am a freshman in Baruch. I think my major will be in business, but I am not sure to choose which one. I am so shy that I can’t speak up to express myself.

2.  Share your top 3 concerns about your freshman year at Baruch College and explain why.

The first concern is to keep my GPA because GPA is especially significant for major and graduation. The second one is to involve in college live, which is a big challenge for me.  Even though joining club is a path to adapt college life, I don’t know to choose which club. Making friends is important, but I am weak on it. My friends are in other colleges, I just know few people now. The last concern is improving my English.

3. So far, what do you think will make your Baruch College experience different from your high school experience?

So far, the way to take class is different from my high school. I need to prepare for class, and the study time becomes longer. In addition, assignments and homework are written on the syllabus. I need to check syllabus frequency   so that I don’t miss the homework.

4. How do you think your first year at College will change you?

I think that the first year at college will make me independent and confidence. In the college, I know that study is for me. Professor just point out the important part, I need to spend time on study.
