I fear these courses will be very challenging for me as I have not worked with complex mathematics in many years. Prior to entering into these courses, I will utilize the Math Success Booster and MathXL in the Student Success Center to refresh and improve my mathematic knowledge foundation. I will also utilize the tutoring available through the Center for Learning Advancement (CLA) as needed.
The course assignments of the online program in addition to the mathematic based classes will contain large amounts of writing; therefore, strong communication skills as well as computer skills are a must. I will heavily rely on the Writing Center to adhere to all writing style guidelines. I will also continue to exploit the many GCU tutorials and webinars as well as the Technology Success Boosters also in the Student Success

  • Educational Assistant Reflective Report

    471 Words  | 1 Pages

    My experience an educational assistant has been both challenging and rewarding. For example, Some students were certainly challenging to work with as they gave off a hue of discomfort and disinterest. During one class period, I was tasked with helping a student finish his Algebra assignment that required him to solve for variables on a worksheet. The student did not understand the assignment and was clearly reluctant to complete it, despite already being late to turn it in. I was able to demonstrate patience by spending two whole block periods with the student while working on the assignment until he was able to grasp the concepts being taught. During this experience, I tried not to appear demanding or frustrated since I knew this would only discourage the student from trying. Instead, I

    I have studied English since I was a grade seven, but the curriculum in my middle school and high school years, mainly focuses on reading and speaking components of language skills, with a little focus on writing. As a result, I never felt confident with any piece that I was asked to write. Writing has been a hurdle for me to succeed in college since most of the courses in college requires one or the other way writing skill. Consequently, I have decided to work on my writing skills, and have started working on it; even before, I started taking this English 101 class. I used to use a various educational material which I thought might help me to meet my writing goal. Some of the materials which I was using includes: TOEFL educational materials, You Tube resources, and various novels. All of these resources have helped me to polish my writing skills. Furthermore, after I started taking this class, I have learned to enjoy writing. I have made it a point to communicate my own thoughts and feelings as opposed to simply summarize the thoughts of famous writers and authors before me. This class builds up my confidence in my own writing and for that I am highly appreciative.
