In UNIV 150, I have found out that using all of my available resources have really helped me in succeeding in the course. Personally, I find that the Writing Review Sessions have helped me drastically change my writing style. Also, I have adapted to engaging with others which before this course was never something I thought could really assist me. My performance on the mid-term I thought was pretty good though i wish you were not timed because you can not express all your feeling within a two hour time period. As I stated early, whether I am working alone or working with another person, it seems that someone always is willing to help me in completing the task at hand. Coming into college I have not really been big on note taking. Having said that, I have realized that just listening to the professor and then taking the key notes that the professor says has really helped me succeed. I find that the quizzes given are relatively easy grades because you can use the textbook and the class notes listed on blackboard.But the taking the quizzes basically forces you to read the assigned text because most of the question are straight from the text.

The biggest advantage this class gives over any other class is resources I am given. I would not call pre-class studying a study hall but it basically is because I can refresh all my skills within a 15 min window. Doing that has really helped get ahead in class. I am also given supplemental materials like online writing lab, and owl at Purdue. These are essential just more things so that I can get assistance on my own writing. But most importantly is the Writing Review Sessions, this is where I can meet 1 on 1 with a professor to discuss a certain paper. I can not even fathom where I would be without these things. I have learned so many things i never even knew about writing, coming into college I did not know really much at all, but with the help of the review sessions, I know more than i would have ever thought.
