Pursuing a degree in business has been a lifelong dream. Understanding the concepts, formulas, and processes necessary to be effective and accurate weather it was a personal business or a corporation that offered employment is a goal that has been on the “to do” list for many years. When the opportunity to take this class presented itself, thinking twice about it was not an option. However, prior to taking this class the assumption was made that it was going to be just another math class that was a speed bump on the way to the ultimate goal of achieving the MBA. Six weeks later it has been proven over and over again that the prior assumption was completely wrong. In the past year while pursuing the MBA, I have also been looking for meaningful employment. Several potential options have been offered yet nothing that would be considered meaningful stood out. When it was least expected, a great opportunity presented itself approximately two months ago. The position that was offered was as a Consultant at a fortune five-hundred company. Without a complete understanding of what the positions duties and responsibilities consisted of, I immediately started researching to find out what would be expected. As the research revealed, part if the duties and responsibilities consisted of comparing and growing individual business by comparing the productivity of the previous years and advising the owners and operators on how to improve and become more profitable. The amazing part of the entire process is when the interview for the position finally came to be. It was after the third week of the class. About half of the questions that were asked by the interviewer consisted of the topics and subjects covered in the class within the first three wee... ... middle of paper ... ...describe and relay the desired information to their readers. Shortly after taking this class, it became apparent that this class offered more than what was initially expected. Learning the formulas, concepts, and processes necessary to solve the equations became more valuable than one could ever imagine. The position as a Consultant that was applied for was offered and accepted because of the information that was taught and the understanding that was gained in the class. This class was and will continue to be instrumental in providing the much needed information necessary to accomplish the task that are a requirement in this position and I am forever grateful to Professor Raymond for the patience and style displayed in his teaching of this class.

When explaining the topic, I was completely lost and had trouble catching up but as soon as there was a demonstration, I soon caught on and was able to complete each equation with confidence.
During my first semester of college, I felt like this course overshadowed all the others. I faced many challenges, gained better habits, and even increased the value of myself as a scholar. Not only did my professor provide her students with the course material she built a confidence inside of us that will allow us to be able to tackle any task, especially pertaining to any written compositions. The things that I have learned from this course could and will be applied to any and everything I do from here on out, whether that writing an essay or even taking a test. Again, the journey was long, but I will be forever grateful for the things that I, and all of my peers have gained from this
As I planed to take this class, I thought this course would be like all other general education courses. I believed that it would be of little use to me. However, after attending the first class, my view has changed completely. I applied each and every theory to my life.
My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.
Achieve that career goal. This class is a great leap for me to help me to reach the goal of

I am not going to lie this class was my hardest it felt like I didn’t know what was going on at all time. It not like I wasn’t learning anything in there is just that I didn’t really get the class at all. Every time went on Capsim to do work I never get anything do because I didn’t know what I was doing. Is not like I didn’t like the class the class I just us doing the Capsim online was hard for some people because they didn’t know what to do. Next semester I think the class should be thought like microeconomic because more people we will it better. Another idea I was thinking was we could do a field trip to some business meetings even though I know students in college don’t do feel trip. The feel trip will give us an ideal of what a real
Second, after my educational are completed I will focus of finding a job where I can advance into business management and gain the necessary experience required to become a college professor in the business area. I would like to stay with my current employer, but transfer to another higher paying position that will give me the skills and experience that will be give me advancement opportunities.
When we were first given this assignment I had not put much consideration into it. I thought we were to ask a couple of questions, it would all work itself out and I would be done. But this was not the case. The thought and reflection put into interview questions really surprised me. There was far more factors other than the questions you were asking, because you were also dealing with people, people who are giving you there free time, their attention and opening themselves up to you a stranger, so there were far more responsibilities then what were initially at hand.
The new year begins and Learning Strategies is on your schedule. Truly, you are probably not knowing what to expect and you think that this class is not for you. Boy, are you wrong. This class will save you plenty of time, so you better listen closely. At the end, you will leave the class wondering why no one ever showed me this. So listen up! The three most useful things that I learned in this class are: my learning style, how to take notes when reading a textbook, and how to be a more successful student at college.
What do you expect to learn from this course that will help you develop in the areas you’ve identified?
The author Ken Lakuta (date unknown) once wrote, “Opportunities exists in the air for just a few minutes. If you don’t obey your gut feeling right away, you’ve lost your chance” (Brown, quoting Lakuta, date unknown, p.3). I do not want to miss my chance! I intend to seize the moment and finish the courses necessary to obtain my master’s of business administration for many reasons. With the tools the University has made available to me such as “rEsource”, learning team environment, and problem-based learning I will successfully complete this program and achieve my goal.
Professor Schott goes through the chapters by using a PowerPoint that he has prepared in advance. These lectures reinforce what we 've learned in the LearnSmarts before the class. Each lecture is packed full of valuable concepts and formulas that we put to work in the Connect homework assigned to us each week. Each student in the class pays attention to Professor Schott’s lectures because he goes through practice problems that are similar to the Connect homework. Not only does the lecture help us students with the homework but it also helps us with the exam. Throughout each lecture, Professor Schott helps us students understand the concepts which help us with the conceptual questions on the exams. He also works through the various tables in each chapter which helps when it comes to the exams. Professor Schott has helped the whole class understand business finance with his prepared lectures that are customized to each
