When I start my graduate program at Prairie View in the fall of 2014 I was very excited. My first course as a graduate student was Biochemistry, a course that I was having difficulty with. When I was an undergraduate student, biochemistry was not a requirement to graduate therefore I never took the course. When coming to PV Biochemistry is a requirement for a Master in Chemistry. Since I didn’t have the undergraduate course of biochemistry I was struggling with this class more than my fellow classmate. In the springs I have taken 3 graduate courses and a research with Dr. Amaraselara. Dr. Amaraselara have given me an IP on research because majority of the semester I did literature research on my topic, which I didn’t have any research to represent …show more content…
The reason why I have a failing grade in this course was back in March I found out that my sister (Van Nguyen) whom I’m extremely closed with has an accident at work. She was transferring chemical from one bottle to another, and one of the bottle have splash into both of her eyes. She was rushed to my emergency room, and the doctor said that she have chemical burns to both of her eyes. She was temporarily blinds for a couple months. During this stressful time I was driving back and forth to Ohio to visit my sister and taking care of her baby. Also, in April my fiancé have lost his job, I was struggling financially and had to work more hours to compensate for his income. Due to this two unforeseen circumstances I believed it’s the reason why my grade for Organic chemistry was affected. Due to traveling back and forth from Ohio and having to work more than 60 hours a week I didn’t have enough time in the days to studies for all 3 courses. I was able to maintain a decent grade in Biology and Quantitative Chemical Analysis course but not in Advance …show more content…
Li for help on the information. When the spring of 2016 when this class is offer I’ll take it again and make a B or better to replace my current grade. When I have questions while taking this course I’ll make sure to come and ask Dr. Li and get all the helps I can with him and my fellow classmate. For Advance Organic I have spoken to Dr. Amaraselara and he’s going to give me organic books and practice exams from undergraduate course so I can work on my synthesis process. I’ll retake the course to get a B or better. My mom has just recently moved to Houston to help me with the household, and taking care of my nephew. My fiancé is looking for a job right now and by the fall semester hopefully that he’ll obtain a job, it will help me financially. With him being back to work I don’t have to work 60 hours a week to compensate for him being out of work. With both my mom staying here in Houston and my fiancé working I’ll have the times to focus on my academic and being successfully in my classes. I hope the committed take my situation in consideration and readmitted me back to the
I am pleased to write in support of Ms. Ariana Salva, an undergraduate biochemistry major, to your Pharmacy program. I know Ms. Salva from her academic accomplishments in my organic chemistry courses at California State University Dominguez Hills. Over the year of Ariana’s coursework, I have noted her consistent academic aptitudes. Ms. Salva has shown an independence and self-motivation throughout the time I have known her, yet through laboratory work, she possesses very strong interpersonal skills amongst her peers.
I am a student from the midlothian campus retaking BIO 101 for the third time. Last semester, I enrolled for BIO 101 with Prof. Rupa Bandyopadhyay. I did not preform well in her class as my father became injured and after multiple knee surgeries he was unable to work and drive. From that, I ended up moving to his house in Glen Allen to help him around which resulted in me missing classes which prevented me from the coursework. Although I failed this class, from the beginning, before my father's injury, I had actively participated in class sessions and found the way she taught/lectured was very understandable and effective. After gaining your approval to retake this class with the same professor, I aimed to fully
In addition, I have set out my plan for all four years in high school. According to my plan, I would not be taking any zero period for the next three years. Therefore, to make up all the credits I need or want, I will be taking Health as an online class next year. Moreover, to complete my F-course, I am planning to do ceramics in my junior since according to my plan, it is the only time that I can fit all the requirements in my schedule.
The day before an Organic Chemistry II exam, I felt worried and unprepared as I wrapped up my office hours as an undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA) for CompSci 101. As I sat in the room waiting for my replacement to relieve me, I felt myself being pulled in all directions. At the end of the previous semester, I had ambitiously enrolled myself in two upper-level computer science courses, an infamously difficult statistics course, and second semester organic chemistry. Back then, I had not anticipated that I would have the opportunity to write my own book the following school year or that my manuscripts would be expected in the following
My thought about this course that I was expecting so far , was that it’s going to be easy. But a little bit challenging and it’s exactly what I thought. It’s also very organized, to make it easier to find all the weekly content, discussions, assignments and quizzes. They have the categories labeled so you can know what items go with the lesson. The most useful success/study strategies I applied during week 1 was to first read over the lesson and objective , also the announcement to get an head start of the lesson to be able to know what to expect to learn. After I read of objectives and the rest, I will take the knowledge practice problem to learn what I may know and don’t know to work on. The most interest concept covered so far all of week
As I work to pursue a Bachelor's Degree of Biology with a Chemistry Minor at Gardner-Webb University, I will apply all of my efforts to acquiring the most of the information presented before me. Currently, I have a 3.5 G.P.A., and I am working towards my goal of reaching and maintaining at least a 3.8 G.P.A. before graduation and attaining my degree at Gardner-Webb University. Having the honor of graduating Summa Cum Laude is essential on my route to success and I will do whatever it takes to get there. My short term goal will serve as a big stepping stone as I continue forward in efforts to progress to medical school, and acquire the necessary education in order to become a Family Practitioner. I plan to open my own private practice designed
The human body is a remarkable and intricate machine with a complexity that is still beyond our understanding. From the DNA, to cells and proteins, there is a vast world we do not yet comprehend. And that is what I find most exciting: looking for the answers hidden inside us at every beating of our hearts. The fact that we can use the knowledge we acquire from unveiling the secrets of the human body and apply it to medicine to diagnose and treat diseases, has been my main reason for wanting to become a Biomedical scientist.
I spoke with you last Monday about how I am changing my major to social work. After we made up an educational plan I realized there would be an issue with taking BIO and SW 320 in the same semester in Fall 2017. Due to the fact that I only got a D in BIO that is why I have to take retake it in the fall in order to take SW 320 and SW 330. I emailed professor Vanessa Brooks-Herd to see if I could get a signature to take both BIO and SW 320 in the same semester but I have not received a response. I made up a new schedule or plan and I was wondering if it would work. Let me know what you
In the movies, the future of science is represented by sleek new devices that can do it all, genetically engineered perfect humans, and in general, a society lacking of life and liveliness. In my mind, however, I have a very different notion of what will make the future- longer lifespans and happier lives due to medical advancements, and more global connectivity due to technological advancements- I see the future as brimming with life and liveliness. While others are wary of a scientifically advanced future, I am excited for it.
First-year students pursuing degrees in the natural or physical sciences are required to take a course in General Chemistry along with a laboratory component. With over 1000 students enrolling General Chemistry every quarter, the demand for extra assistance in the laboratory portion of this course is indisputable.
The human body is a multifaceted, intricate and exceptional biological artwork of which even to this day, is not entirely understood. Its constituent parts are comprised of many versatile systems working coherently to achieve the maximum potential output, whilst fundamentally, sustaining life. Furthermore, Biomedical Science remains to be the rudiments of how the world today has been shaped over time; advances in medicine are in the process of continual expansion, which can only progress through research and dedication. It is this expansion of knowledge which has inspired my desire to study Biomedical Science at degree level. I have always had an avid interest in the scientific world; for some time, I have always wanted to work in a healthcare environment, either in research or to benefit others directly.
The complexity of the human body is what I find most interesting, especially the immune system and the impacts it has on our daily lives when dealing with cancer and genetic disorders and I want to have a better understanding of the common illnesses around us. My desire to study Biomedical Sciences is supported by the experience I have gained at A-level. I have an in depth understanding of the human body's ability to fight diseases. I have gained laboratory skills and enhanced my analytical thinking techniques, interlinking various points to produce the most suitable response to a hypothesis, vital for a role in Biomedicine. My mathematical prowess has given me new ways to deal with a given problem.
Although there are many subjects available to further continue as an undergraduate course, the ones which held my attention and enlightened me since the time i was doing A level in Sunway College are just learning Biology and Chemistry. Attending these classes encourage and motivate me to deepen my knowledge and understanding about the nature,the substances that have been discovered and useful therapeutically for living beings,the molecules and cells that made up a human being body with different combinations and the microorganism which causes disease to human and also useful in particular aspects. Various tests and practicals done in both chemistry and biology laboratories made me more enthusiastic to graduate as a biomedical scientist to continue as my career working in the laboratory. My personality and working in laboratory suits very well as i like to handle things in a very appropriate method,settle down in one place and working with other lab technicians to help people. These lead me to a
This summer, I will be working in a computational chemistry lab, which will allow me to gain a new perspective regarding Chemistry. This opportunity will allow me to explore the mathematical aspect of chemistry and appreciate new concepts. Additionally, I have a variety of attributes that qualify me for the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award. For example, I recently began a position as a ‘new student mentor.’ This leadership position allows me to assist students, as well share my personal experiences with individuals, who may be unsure of the possibilities available to them.
I like to think of my passion as a system of equations; it lies directly at the intersection of science and service. My interest in Biomedical Science is as vast as the field itself. First of all, I am fascinated with the diverse processes occurring in the body, and this major will enable me to explore numerous related disciplines including immunology, neuroscience, oncology, and genetics. These disciplines will prepare me to competently serve the medical needs of all while stimulating my inquisitive nature. I am confident that this program will challenge me to apply my creativity to the field of medicine in my quest to be part of a medical team that solves today’s most pressing medical threats.
