Reflective Essay For College

350 Words2 Pages

For me, synthesis means the joining or union of two separate topics. Furthermore, synthesis is being able to combine work or thoughts together and make two ideas relate to one another in a beneficial way. I often try to synthesize work and school in my everyday life. Earlier this semester I realized my biology and chemistry classes have come together to make a whole. I finally understood why chemistry mattered for biology. I’m currently doing an internship at Lincoln Zoo and I am able to apply my education to my work. I worked at an aquarium taking care and feeding the fish as well as lab work. I needed to understand the biological needs of the animals as well as water quality and nutrients that the animals needed. Both of these

  • Writing Class Reflection Essay

    I came into my first college writing class feeling prepared thanks to you and your investment in me as a student in your AP Lang class. I developed as a writer more than I ever had in your class, and it definitely helped me in my college writing class this semester. I already knew how important it was to revise and continuously critically think about my writing, as well as the importance of multiple drafts and peer review. My English 110 class this semester was very similar to yours because we also did multiple drafts where I could revise my paper as many times as needed. The big difference was that the focus was on different genres and how to appeal to those, which was something new compared to my high school English courses.

    Nationwide, the summer is the time when temporary students come into the laboratory. During my sophomore summer, my Ph.D. mentor put me in charge of 3 summer students. Although excited, I quickly came to find that the students ignored any guidance from me, and soon enough experiments were going awry consistently. The truth was that even though I was in charge of training the students, I needed us to be able to work together to successfully get some of the larger experiments done. I ultimately realized that I needed to be able to make the students see that none of us individually could get all the work done.

My initial intent of studying on the foundation course was to gain an insight into what path I would like to follow but instead I found I was more drawn to the course because it offered me a greater sense of freedom and a way to express my individuality. So far the foundation has enabled me to experiment with different types of media, and has also helped developed my creative thinking. The initial development I found was the importance of the creative process and how gathering primary and secondary research can be so vital. Through my first project I found this approach to research was particularly apparent, it broke certain restrictions and helped me create a coherent outcome.
