One of the suggestions made to me when I needed to synthesize knowledge outside of a school project was to choose a college to attend. Throughout the middle of my senior year of high school, I remember spending about 5 hours each week to searching multiple websites and conducting extensive study on my top 5 colleges of choice. Nichie.com was one of the main websites that I would visit because it provided me with a lot of information on colleges, including tuition, loans, school ratings, background information, and so much more. While doing my research, Baruch College just appeared to be the greatest fit for me because there were numerous reviews stating that it is a fantastic school for business (which is what I’m majoring in now), that it is very diverse, and that it is also very affordable. The unanswered questions were primarily about Baruch College’s examinations and midterms. There weren’t many evaluations where students expressed their thoughts on what to expect when taking certain exams. The bits of information aided me in making a decision since all of the information I was getting through my research and synthesization skills about how fantastic of a school Baruch College is made me want to enroll there, and now I’m here, feeling extremely happy and grateful!
- Even though the sources I’m using for my research assignment are all factual, they also provide a lot of insight into my topic, “Why Getting Started On Assignments Can Be Hard For Some Students,” because even the publishers can see their own experiences and knowledge based on this topic and how they feel about it, from their own perspectives. Almost all of the sources I’ve found are very reliable. From this, I construct my own argument, agreeing or disagreeing with the publisher’s assertions and using my voice to reflect my own perspectives and how I believe things should be done. I’m arguing that getting started on a project, which involves an essay, can be challenging for students at times because it takes time and it can be difficult to come up with ideas. When it comes to writing an essay or any other assignment, some students may not even have an idea or know where to begin.
