My perfect class would have to be on a topic that interests me. It could be about anything as long as i don’t fall asleep in the class. The teacher would have to be great, someone that I look up to and wish to be like. My classmates would be my friends, and we would all interact and enjoy the class. We would be able to take notes however we want. The material we learn in the class I will utilize everyday for the rest of my life.

Hello my name is Michael Jemal, I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I attended Yeshivah of Flatbush Highschool. I love to play basketball and hang with my friends. I am very exited to attend Baruch College and look forward meeting all of you.

My perfect class would first off have to be in the subject area of which I have an interest. The professor must be someone who is not only very knowledgeable in that subject, but an intelligent person in general. Also the teacher must not only teach but engage the class in discussions where every person has an equal chance to participate because information is not just obtained through study and repetition but through the exchange of ideas between the people around you as well. It is also very important that the class is challenging, this is because if a class is too easy the need to pay attention fades away. Above all else the perfect class is where upon entering that class I am forced to use my brain, whether it is stimulated by interesting information or stumped by difficult questions it does not matter as long as I am exercising my brain. However, if the class does not teach me anything I do not already know, all of the elements of a perfect class that I listed above are irrelevant, the purpose of taking a class is so that one’s knowledge expands and is open to new information and ideas. If a class if unable to provide the learning aspect then it is not a class, instead it is a waste of time.

The perfect class would be a class where we get to learn about a subject/topic of our interests. Something that has a lot of hands on activities involved! I hate having to read about doing something when we can actually just do it. A perfect class would have a cozy and comfortable environment. Not so comfortable that I would fall asleep but like just enough so I don’t get the urge of getting out of my seat and stretching. I would like a warm classroom. Warm as in mid 70s not hot nor cold. I’m very picky about temperature. I hate being cold or being drenched in sweat. I want the teacher to be enthusiastic. I want them to be excited about teaching in class everyday. At least make it seem like they love what they do, so we can love it as well. That’s pretty much it for all I look for in a perfect class.

The perfect class for me is one with an interesting topic that can actually be applicable towards real life. The workload should be manageable and useful to the extent that it will both help me in my studies and leave me with more free time. The professor should be loud and clear where I can easily understand him/her. He/she should be funny and relaxed regarding things like attendance, food, and the use of electronics. The classroom itself should be a regular classroom with a whiteboard or electronic display to avoid the chalk and noise of a blackboard. It should also be well ventilated and heated/cooled accordingly to the weather. Class activities can be anything, but it has to be engaging and interesting so I don’t fall asleep (which I usually do).

For me, I think that a “perfect class” would be one where the material that we’re learning will actually be things that we’ll use everyday, either now or in a few years. Just knowing that the things we’re learning wouldn’t just be shoved into the depths of our mind is enough. Of course, that’s not the only thing that makes a class perfect. The teacher would need to be able to motivate us to learn and explain the material in an easy but entertaining way. Also free snacks and break time where we’ll play seven up would be a nice plus.

Hey all its Lance again. So we are assigned to describe what we think the “perfect” class would be. Well i think that is a silly question. The perfect class could be anything. Depends on my mood actually. If im looking for a girlfriend, the perfect class would be one with only beautiful women in it, and im the only guy. But i dont think that is really what i am supposed to talk about…put it out there anyways. So back to a serious note, I think a perfect class would have to start with a topic that is at least SEMI interesting. I think students should be allowed to use cell phones and computers. I believe in freedom, and from recent studies in my high school, in classes that i was allowed to be on my phone without getting in trouble, i would usually do better in those classes. If all i have to do is listen during class, i will get kind of bored and probably fall alseep. But if i could use my phone once in a while, it will keep me awake. I tend to respect teachers who give students there freedom. And if i respect a teacher, i will work harder. If someone is nice to me, i always repay the favor. Thats just who i am, yaknow. The professor has to also be at least somewhat animated. If the professor is dull and is just trying to do his job and end his day, that wont really fly with me. If the professor works hard to keep us entertained and keep us related to te topic being taught, then it would result in much higher grades and a better learning experience. The class also has to have AC or a heater. Duh…And also, the professor shoudl give out snacks every time we get a question right. I like snacks. Arrite, calling it a blog. Much love, live your life, LANCE OUT!

Hey all, i’m Lance Zar. Im not going to make this point so grammatically correct because that is not really who i am when it comes to writing blogs. Oh look! That was the first thing you guys got to know about me! Looks like we are getting off to a GREAT start. So lets see what else i can tell you guys. I’m from Great Neck, New York. Its a amazing town and i love it. Alot of people from great neck go to baruch so i dont feel too alone here. I got an apartment in the city with one of my friends and its really exciting. Im hoping to have a great time living in the city and make the best of it. I like making people laugh, i like women, i like long walks on the beach, and my favorite sport is football. I am a Miami Dolphins fan (dont ask). Im not really a shy person and i like it when people feel comfortable around me. If any of yall need someone to talk to or cuddle (ladies) with, im your guy. I could go on for hours and hours, but thats kinda what my twitter is for. So follow me at www.twitter.com/lancezar. SATISFACTORY IS GUARANTEED BABY!!!! Arrite so im going to call this a blog and start the next one when im ready. Love you all, good day, sweet dreams….LANCE OUT!

I think my perfect class would be a class where I actually utilize the material we learn in our everyday lives. I don’t understand why I need to know about chemical bonds and such. Also my perfect class would have a teacher that not only enjoys teaching but also a teacher that can actually teach well. Oh also, a class that doesn’t require a lot of work.

Hello my name is Christine Shin. I didn’t attend the first Freshman Seminar so I’m late with this assignment, sorry. Anyways, I am 18 years old and I graduated from Bayside High School.  I am a food junkie and I love to to try new foods.
