For all business administration students and police foundations, we're supposed to
have a testing period for the group
to decide
which class you will go into and during this period
over the summer, I did not attend it but
it happens and there's different testing days.
If you don't attend it, you will end up doing it in class after your semester has
started.
So
when I went in for it
it was after class started.
So since I ignored the emails it was a forced situation, you kind of have to do it, you
don't have an option, unless you already did it.
And so when I went in to the testing
it was pretty basic. It's probably an hour long of a test.
It has, I don't know, maybe twenty questions, forty questions
per
part of the test.
And it's pretty basic: the dog walked here, the dog
went here, pretty basic comprehension. It asks you what words would go where
pretty easy things.
After that,
you don't really get to hear anything about your answers or
get a review on it, it's just sent in and
it'll be handled and worked with.
I was then later instructed on my Blackboard I had a new class set up.
I said "Why is this here?"
Then I went to that, go to my class that I'm still going to and I'm looking at the
homework and stuff, nothing's there. I'm thinking what's going on here,
like there's got to be some screw up.
Then I asked my teacher, I'm not even on her list anymore.
Then I'm thinking there's something wrong with college, like what's going on,
this is my second week here, things are going down the drain.
So after that I went,
figured things out. Apparently I was in a different class. Then I was instructed to go see a different
teacher.
I got upset. I was thinking I already started assignments in this class, I've already met new friends.
I'm having a good time, now you're ripping it all out of me. Why? After that happens I transferred to
the new class. On my first day I went in there with an angry attitude.
Everything was just down the drain. I don't want to do this, I don't want to be here.
Why am I here? This is annoying. You switched me from my other class. No friends
and I just had a negative attitude towards everything.
But as everything goes, things get better slowly.
So I went to the class, tried it out, everything worked out nicely.
So with the change,
I didn't notice there was a change because it was on the same day as my
original class and after the first two assignments I saw I had really high marks on them.
I was pretty impressed because for a student like myself, I don't like to set my bar too high because
I'm not the
top student. But
there is like times when I do have good marks and I do
try then. And I noticed that this switch, maybe did something for me.
I'm probably like a B/
C+ student.
Result in the class uh... I'm
not sure about the exact mark. But I did have an A. Then I started realizing a pattern with
all my assignments.
Seeing that all the assignments together we're all having high high marks. Then I'd have
major projects, they'd have high marks. And I'm thinking "Wow, things are going good for
me".
Go to class, I don't think I ever missed one class in that whole semester.
That was a really good thing for me and the teacher even commented on that that. Then
I started getting a personal bond with my teacher because my teacher was starting to connect with
me, seeing I had high marks, recommending me for certain things, saying you're good in
this area, you're good at this.
So it helped me out a lot.
And uh... I said okay, maybe I can do something with this class.
From my example, it does help and it does work
and this can benefit you majorly.
It did for me at least and I know it probably worked for
many other people
and hopefully it does continue to work.
And since this is a new thing,
I find it's good and there's no way
this like
can put you in a harder situation because
it's supposed to benefit you in all ways, so
there's nothing that can bring you down
from doing this.
