Gen Ed Capstone Course

As I begin my last quarter on campus here at AI I can already tell that it will be a quick one.I am excited to explore what this class and this quarter have in store for me.As i look back over the last three years working towards a degree in the industry I am truly passionate about, becoming a  leader for the student body as Previous President of Beau Monde, a mentor for incoming students living in residential life as a resident advisor for the housing community, and lastly as a part time sales specialist with BCBG Max Azria I can tell that these years have truly been a stepping stone for my future endeavors.

I am looking forward to the growth that will take place from this class and the recap of my general education courses here at AI. So many classes and instructors have truly been an instrumental part of my time at AI but only a few have left an imprint in my education. As I reviewed my Course Audit the main classes that stood out to me were Critical Thinking, Sociology, and Psychology taught by Sarah Vincent. Each of these classes used textbook topics and learning curves along with her dynamic ways of illustrating live and pressing issues to convey major points. For example, in Critical Thinking we were forced to work in groups to accomplish various tasks that were related to the specific topics of the week. Every time I was in class it was warm, welcoming, informational, and exciting which made me want to attend each and every week to see what else was in store.

I truly feel that every general education class has not only taught me about specific topics and course related materials but about myself and the goals I should set for myself along with the action plan to carry it out.  I am looking forward to the new chapters in my life...

  1. An excellent beginning on reflecting your Gen Ed courses, especially how you are able to relate some of your classroom experiences to your life after Ai. That is the whole point of the first assignment.
