College Now Experience
By: Lorna Henry
I would like to inform you about my College Now SCI class experience. Overall I thoroughly
enjoyed the class and learned an ample amount of material that may further my understanding
of science in the future.
First of all it gave me an understanding how a real college class works. The information
needed to pass an exam was not all written out on a chalkboard. Instead I had to listen
intently to what the teacher said and take down notes of what I thought would be relevant.
I also came to the realization that reading is extremely important to college courses,
and you have to read and re-read material in order to better understand it.
Honestly I thought I was going to have an extremely difficult time with my science
College Now course because I have never been strong in the sciences. However, when
I paid attention, read the material and took notes on my own free will, I as able
to comprehend what I was learning. Instead of being force-fed the information, I was
able to draw my own conclusions from what I read.
Another thing that I enjoyed about the class was the amount of class participation
that took place. We were able to carry on open discussions about things instead of
the usual answer/response that I had grown accustomed to throughout my High School
education.
All in all I must say it enhanced my learning abilities, and I thank my College Now
teacher for the opportunity to enjoy a science class.
