To be Ying for a day

If I could pick one thing to change about the class it would be to have more in class debates and discussions and less informative lectures. To go through a 20 slide powerpoint on the career center may be helpful to some, but engaging in a class wide discussion helps students to build persuasive skills which will carry on to their professional lives.  When the students had to pick a point of view point of their own and argue that point, this to me was the funnest part of freshman seminar simply because it was the most interactive and interesting activity of the entire semester.

4th blog post

My first few months at Baruch have been quite a new experience out of all of the things about Baruch the one that stands out to me most is my three hour math class. The one word I would use to describe this class….miserable. It has to be the hardest class I have ever been in and it makes me question what my future would be like if I stayed at Baruch for four years. If I can’t even handle the introductory math class maybe the school with the hardest math classes I’ve ever taken isn’t the best fit for a person like me who dreads abstract math. Other than that I do like most of my professors however a few of them seem to treat their students with the same disrespect we all got from our disengaged high school teachers. However some of my professors are great and make me consider not transferring out of Baruch.

Art Museum

At the art museum one piece in particular stood out to me, it was a mural from an ancient temple. On the left corner of the mural there was a man being ripped apart by a wolf, his intestines are falling out of the wolfs mouth which is….. just awesome. The painting was depicting an ancient Bodhisattva and the wolf was somewhat in the background. The museum as a whole was the coolest trip we took during the class and it helped me learn that our Baruch ID’s do more than get us into the college, but they also open the doors to many different museums and culturally enlightening places that would otherwise cost money.

my playlist

These songs identify me as a person because the past few years I have fallen in love with electronic music and gone to festivals all over the world to explore my passion. The climax of these past few years was going to Boom, Belgium for a week to attend a festival called tomorrowland which if you have never heard of it then i am sorry for you. Mitchell Kennedy
