The central tension that Boyer discusses in his chapter is the benefits of combining the liberal arts with career and vocational schools to make a new type of learning, the “Enriched Major” idea. Boyer states, “Courses alone do not bring coherence. Faculty must provide the enlightening and integrative foundation so essential to a successful undergraduate …
In this meeting, Olivia and I talked about my final draft of project 1. This paper was peer reviewed, and I had looked over it many times. With Olivia, I read the paper out loud, and we discussed several portions in the paragraphs. I even found some things to edit after reading the to someone …
I went to a SASC workshop about Success in Chem. In this workshop, the presenter talked mostly about study habits and time management relating to Chemistry. While this was helpful, it was not necessarily what I was expecting. I was able to learn more about time management and study habits, and even filled out a …
For this activity, my friends and I went to a Zumba class. This was at 6:30pm and was about an hour. During this time, I had fun with my friends as we danced to early 2000s era songs. I have never done Zumba before, so it was a new experience for me. I also didn’t …

What I am used to is reading the entire assignment, and then rereading it for understanding. Professor Drown taught us to look for key areas that would give a basic understanding before going into the …
A text-to-text connection I made between Bain and Ungar’s article was in Bain’s first section, “They believe that if you want to do well in an increasingly specialized world, you must concentrate on a single area and become an expert in that field,” (pg. 200). This is a misperception that Ungar specifically argues against in …
While making this goal list, I found it easier to add in goals for near term rather than long term. In this stage of college, everything is new, and I could think of a lot of things I wanted to try and explore. Most of my ideas started with academic, because I am more focused …
Misperception #1 “A liberal-arts degree is a luxury that most families can no longer afford. “Career education” is what we must focus on now,” (paragraph 3).
