What I learned in the six weeks in HMNT 1001-10

Before this course, I had no clue how I was going to manage learning in college. All I knew, I wanted to go. I wanted to improve myself no matter how naive I was. Presently, it is the end of the class. But it is only the beginning for me at Walden University, and because of this course, I now know what to expect and what to do to be a successful Walden student ( State tax liens - myFICO® Forums. (n.d.)). In this essay, I will describe what HMNT 1001-10 Living and Learning in a technical world has taught me in the last six weeks.

Week one was a little tense for me. But after meeting the instructor and my classmates in the class café’ I felt more at ease and ready start learning. Firstly, I learned to be an online student was going to require a lot of technologies I may not be familiar with. At that time, I was introduced to the good and bad sides of technology, such as going to school online or cyber bullying. Then, I came across relevant guidelines and documents, such as The Academic Writing Expectations Checklist; a checklist to ensure writing meets academic standards, and the Assignment and Discussion rubrics. Rubrics are requirements and principles used to mark work. Eventually, in the week one discussion, I realized that I need to be careful how I put words online. People have feelings, whether, good or bad. Be aware of what and how you write online (About us - Copy-Editing for Uni Students. (n.d.)). Stay conscious of how people perceive what you put online. Be kind, professional, objective, and sympathetic with views. More importantly, I acquired the knowledge of how imperative it is to have a printed emergency plan available, just in case of mechanical failure(John Rayworth: FLUTE List Assistant - Larry Krantz. (n.d.)). The paper includes a backup plan for your computer, phone numbers and email

    Through this realization Hundert is able to see that even though he may not have succeeded with Bell, this one “failure” does not minimize the positive contribution he has made to the lives of his many other students. Hundert’s success is evidenced by the fact that even after 25 years, Hundert’s students throw him a party to show their appreciation of the advice, instruction, interest and guidance he gave them when they were students at St.…

    While one is at Milwaukee School of Engineering there are like the prisoners in the cave, as we are mostly seeing what the professors want to teach us. Professors have more power than we think, as they are mostly in control over what is taught in their courses, similar to the puppeteers in the cave. However the professors are also trying to help us escape the cave and learn to think for ourselves. For a student to escape the cave they must figure out how to do things for…

    I had a great freshman year at IU where I could take almost any class and enjoy it, unlike high school where you had to take the exact same curriculum as your peers. After wrapping up my first year of college, one class especially stood out from many good courses that not only grabbed my attention but let my personality flourish, I101. I enrolled in this class because I’ve been interested in computers and technology from a young age. Little did I know, the course not only encompassed my fascination of computers, but dove into ethics and implications, subjects that I read about regularly and let me solve problems scientifically in a way that uniquely suited me. I enjoyed my time in the class learning topics such as python and databases. There…

    First of all, while watching their semester long journey through this writing course, I learned a few pointers and lessons. Throughout this video I noticed that some of the students procrastinated on their papers. Arpan for example would go for strolls around campus, hang out with friends and even play video games when he should have been drafting or finalizing his papers. I learned from his mistakes and realized that procrastination is not an option. You need to use the time to fabricate ideas, outline, revise and finalize assignments to produce the best paper possible. Whenever Nneka was given an assignment, she would regularly develop and continue to revise drafts that would be examined by her professor. All that extra work paid off when she received a satisfactory grade due to the fact that she put in the effort.…

    First, I recall the apprehension on my first day. I remember thinking I was out of my league when trying to describe a simple paragraph about an online advertisement. I had not written anything in a very long time and I was struggling to come up with ideas. After the first paragraph I started to feel like things were coming back to me. The next few classes made me more comfortable and prepared me for my first essay.…

    I was surprised to learn that I am an innovating learner. I often find myself looking for other ways to resolve an issue. I learn things easier if I am able to visualize. My English 141 class is going to be difficult for me. I struggle with writing. I find it difficult to form a topic sentence and I also have a hard time elaborating on a topic. Writing has always been a challenge for me and that is what English is based on. I am not sure what my instructors teaching methods are yet since it is still the first week of school but since this is an online course the advantage is that it feel somewhat impersonal. Seeing as though I am more of a visual learner, online school has been a challenge. My textbook however, seems to offer quite a bit of useful information.…

    ‘How to Succeed as an Online Student’ was written in the manner of an informative process essay. It was organized in several sections with suggestions about things to consider when attending online schools. While it was similar to a topic essay, the fact that it is more ‘how-to’ based, separated it from topic and made it into an informative essay. I think the structure chosen for this essay was the best choice because not one point was more important than another, but they all had to work together equally in order for the essay to work out effectively.…

    Peering into an 8:00 am class full of freshman college students, many observations can be made. There are students with their heads down, (obviously still listening to the professor) students with their pencils racing, students with their minds wondering, and students with their attention to the teacher. As one might note, not all students have their mind focused on what they paid for. Some people go through college as a party or just because it’s become one of societies “norms”; others have a set goal in mind. However, if used to its best ability, college allows one to gain an advantage over high school diploma holders, by attaining the knowledge, skillsets, and tools to achieve or explore their career goals.…
