All colleges need this seminar
College can always be better. I figure its best to know what you going into before you
get into it. So, therefore, colleges should all have seminars where you can ask the professors
about their syllabus, view it , and just have an organized session.
You should be able to learn more about the classes
you want to take before you take them. I think that’s a way of avoiding too many
withdrawals from classes.
I was informed by the college registrar that withdrawing
too many times will look iffy to job employers. She said it will make them think
you start something but don’t finish it. I think its unfair to just jump to that
conclusion about it. No one can completely know what the class will be like
untill they take it. But sometimes classes don’t suit a person’s interest so
they drop it. But what is most important is finishing college so that says
alot about the fact that they really DID NOT quit college so they are
not to be assumed to quit everything they start.
I have withdrawed from classes but not alot of times but just a few.
I took a boring class about the dead and it was
under another title. But it was a strangely boring class. But before I looked
at the syllabus but still did not know exactly
what it was going to be like. I find the syllabus at my old college
to be general sometimes when it needs to be more specific.
And I want to emphasize that more colleges should have seminars
where students can get the syllabus to find out MORE
about what the class is going to be like. For instance,
you don’t know how many presentations the class is
going to require. You don’t know how many group
assignments until you ask. The homework load could
be too much and it might not work out with your
current schedules. Its more than one thing that
could clash if you take the wrong class. Don’t you
think it would be better the way I stated?
