Student Course Reflection
Over the past nine weeks, I have learned a tremendous amount of information that will be beneficial and help prepare for college and the pursuit to my career goals. I have found that every week I learned new information, refreshed my memory on existing information, and allowed myself to have phenomenal learning experience. I am looking forward to using the information I learned over the past nine weeks toward my future in college and my career goals.
I consider the long-term results and the value of completing a degree in higher education to be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. The long term results of receiving a higher education is creating a career, maintaining financial stability, and the ability to use what I learned in college in day-to-day activity. The value of completing a degree in higher education contains short-term and long-term values. The short-term values are the job skills that I receive, having improved communication skills, to maintain critical thinking skills, ability to have problem solving skills, to evaluate solutions, general knowledge, and one that I find to be important, broadening my prospective. The long-term values of receiving a degree in higher education are getting the qualifications needed for a career, the increasing salary, improving job conditions, ability to set examples for my children, and most important, becoming proud of the accomplishment that I have made for myself.
I can use the tools and assessments in this course to help myself in my future courses and my career plans by applying everything I have learned to my future classwork and toward my career. University of Phoenix library, Center of Writing Excellence, Riverpoint Writer, Plagiarism Checker, Write point are all exceptional tools that I have used so far and would make a considerable asset to my

    It might seem risky to pay very much for college education for some people, however the career potential of those experienced higher education is usually deemed higher than those without it. Taking a heavy debt to go for higher education may unreasonable to some people, but it is a choice of what kind of future career one is looking for.

    Hey friend, I am currently going to University of Phoenix. I am just getting started really. We are learning about some of the resources to help us succeed here at school. Some of the cool stuff we have is this program in the online library. It is a paper review service that allows us to up load papers for review before we submit them. One of the things is does, is tells us about our grammar and punctuation, as well as our spelling errors. Part of this program will check for plagiarism for us. Plagiarism is when you use someone else’s work without acknowledging them. There is also this program called River Point Writer that helps format our paper to how they need to be set up. This helps me out because I have such a hard time setting up MS Word for that format. Then we have a place that can help us prepare for math classes even before we are in a math class. I think I am really going to use this thing to help me overcome my anxiety in math and to get to know it a little bit better.…

    This book has easily become one of the top books I have read as a Liberty University student since the principles that it includes are extremely applicable. Immediately after I had read about “The Law of the Learner,” I repented of how I used to think. Because I was lazy, I would put the blame on the student if he or she were failing, rather than striving to work harder and learn different ways I could create learners. However, after reading Wilkinson’s writings and stories, I desired to be a teacher who would not tolerate students who are not paying attention. Namely, I would do whatever it takes to have students learn, rather than blaming them for not learning. In addition, while I read “The Law of Expectations,” I reminisced of a student pastor actively…
