Ø Describe your ideal Instructor/Professor.
My ideal instructor would be a person that is willing to help me out with material that i dont understand very well...I.E.. Math or some anatomy..and not just treat me as a number out of the crowd.
Ø “I knew it when I studied it, but I forgot it on the test.” How can students study differently to prevent this from happening?
....The funny thing about this..is that it actually happened to me on today's quiz for Chemistry...the question was How many outer or Valence electrons and how many TOTAL electrons there were in a neutral Fluorine atom?....and i put 7 Valence and 7 total...although i remembered there were 2 inner electrons on the very first shell of the atom...so frustrating...2 A-'s in a row...extremely disappointing...i should have had A's on the first 2 quizzes in Chem..stupid mistakes on both... but yeah anyways...Students could learn to read slower and repeat the important material to themselves to get that stuff stuck in their head so they can remember.
Ø How do you study for quizzes/tests?
I read the information over and over and over and over...and sometimes sound out the words and stuff to myself..and use visuals to help me understand the words being described...for example...a picture of transverse portion of muscle fiber...it shows the epimysium and perimysium and other junk...and so i try and get an idea where these parts are...and recite them to memory...
Ø What do you have trouble with on quizzes/tests?
I have trouble with making really stupid mistakes...the most frustrating so far has been my 2 very very very poor grades in Chemistry...A-'s to me are not acceptable....they are going to haunt me for the next week and a half before our next quiz...
Letter to McDonald's Reaction:
I can pretty much relate to what this person is saying about the on the job treatment at fast food. I worked at BK for awhile and i'm still technically employed...its not as bad as apparently McDonald's apparently is...but some of the things mentioned are pretty much relative. I had a manager that pretty much favored other crew members for no reason and yelled at me for stupid things all the time when i had no part in doing those stupid things. However, my main boss was awesome and i never had any problems with her..so when i've been working at BK it was not really that bad.. except for one of my managers. I got along with pretty much everyone and i worked as hard as i could to get drive time down and do my best. However, the employee that wrote a letter to McDonald's has every right to be pissed off. She or He or whomever, doesn't deserve that kind of treatment from people who are completely lazy and have a higher position. It's unethical and absurd to have someone that's a manager tell you to do stuff against procedure and treat you like shit.

Bonjour! Excellent blog, Chris! I worked at McD's & Arby's in HS & college and was treated so badly at both places. I'm glad you're OK at BK! I remember Mgrs. standing over us at the timeclock and berating us if we punched in 1 min. early or late. It was ridiculous. You're right, the guy in the letter- his treatment was absurd & unethical. I remember being a shy teenager and I didn't know any better, so they bullied me around at those places and I let it happen. That's why they looooove young workers.
A-s are top notch grades in CH105, don't kid yourself. It's awesome that you have received 2 of those so far. I understand your frustration though, because I am the same way. I hate making silly mistakes, especially in math. Reading slower is good advice as is looking at pics to study like in Anatomy.
You are doing great! :)
