The first thing that caught my eye on the Wellesley 100 was Angela Carpenter’s invented language class. My chosen major is linguistics‚ and I was excited to see an elective related to it given enough importance to be in the Wellesley 100. Not only that‚ but the approach is exactly what I hope to find in college. Part of the class is‚ after studying different already invented languages‚ creating your own. I know that 70% of college students change their major from freshman year and this is why. I

Life 100 years ago From 1909‚ the world population soared from 1.7 to 6.4 billion people. Also the average life expectancy was only 47 years back then!

She is also the only female

Yes‚ some students surf the web or play games in class‚ but that doesn’t mean the rest of us who use laptops responsibly should be punished for the actions of a few. In this essay I will argue that using laptops is a right that teachers should not infringe upon. For starters‚ many of us who have grown up with computers

This semester‚ in the English 100 class that I have taken‚ I realize I have learned a lot more than I originally thought. In my efforts of writing this paper‚ flipping through my different notes‚ I really have learned how to write better papers. I learned how to use a web-log‚ also referred to as a blog. I had never posted on a blog and I didn’t even know what one was. It is very interesting to me that our English classes were able to read each others postings and writings on the blog we used for
