Last but not least


With college coming to close and our desks soon to be empty, I look back on all the things i learned and how much they will help me in the future. In this class I learned how to be more productive with my time and how to plan things out. He also gave us different ways to do things and ideas to get our minds going on our research papers. With my professors syllabus, i was able to complete work on time and not stress and wait till the last minute.

My syllabus did not tell me when a whole assignment was due, it split things up so it made it easier on us and to help us learn how we should be doing this on our own. I was amazed at the end of my research paper how well it was written and now just lazy work. You feel a sense of accomplishment and that your work is worth reading. I wish all syllabuses were like this, and if they are not i will split up my assignments and make my own syllabus.

On free-dictionary.com it states that a syllabus is "an outline or summary of the main points of text, lecture, or course of study." This definition is true for my syllabus but my professor also took it to another level by helping us along like a tutor or elementary teacher would. Even though it is not the teachers job to be this helpful to college students he did it anyways.

The research paper helped me the most in what I should be doing before it is due and that its not as easy as it looks but it can be if you start on time.

Other things that also helped me in this class that I will take me for the rest of my life are:
-Planning ahead
-Do things on your own
-Don't cut corners
-Don't be afraid to ask help because that is what the teacher is there for
-Be productive with your time
-Come to class
