Ø Describe your ideal Instructor/Professor.
~My ideal professor/Instructor is one that when they are lecturing they are not boring, they don't use the same tone the entire time instead they try and make there lectures. My ideal teacher is one that makes learning fun not soo boring. Also I like teachers that do no give homework just so you have busy work but actually so that you accomplish and learn the material.
Ø “I knew it when I studied it, but I forgot it on the test.” How can students study differently to prevent this from happening?
~When they study they should write down the information and quiz themselves on the information, and studying it for multiple nitees before the test, also by making sure to stay calm before and during the test. Getting worried before the test makes them stress more and makes them forget important information they need.
Ø How do you study for quizzes/tests?
~I study by sitting in a room where i won't get distracted and can focus on the material. I study for multiple nites before the test, to study information in smaller less overwhelming amounts, then review everything for a couple nites before the test.
Ø What do you have trouble with on quizzes/tests?
~I have trouble with true or falses cause i always 2nd guess myself and also with fill in the blanks because i spell words wrong or forget words unless theres a word bank, then it usually do better with fill in the blanks.
*Reaction to "Letter to McDonald's" from a former employee.
~This letter truly shows without holding back just had bad working at a place like McDonald's is. The author really doesn't hold back at all just tells it like it is. Which gives you a feel for just what he went through working there. I find it interesting that the managers ask crew people how to do stuff, yet they make more and the crew makes less, because the managers are supposed to know how to do everything. This just shows how little experience is needed to work at McDonalds and also just how desperate they are for workers that they will take anyone. I found it interesting that people can quit or get fired one day, and be rehired or allowed to come back to work the next. At most jobs this would not be allowed if you quit you quit and your gone end of story. McDonalds just must not care who works there they just need employees. This article was very eye opening and informative to what goes on behind the scene at fast food restaurants.
