Goal 7 History 100

For Foundations of Western Civilization, professor Isaac taught me life long lessons regarding history engagement and intelligence gaining. This course enhanced my ability to cite correctly and research effectively. After researching for countless hours in the library, Isaac reviewed and constructively critiqued my work by teaching me the meaning behind why we ask questions about history. In order to resist making mistakes in the future, it is essential that we research and understand the past.

Because Isaac is a professor who merely lectures, I took detailed notes on my laptop that I referred to. The first document (first week of school) is the first notes taken in this course. The second document (last week of first semester) is notes taken the last week of class. This artifact exemplifies the growth of my comprehension of the course.

LSEM 100

LSEM Honors Nursing, taught by professor Znosko, was a course that opened up my eyes to opportunities in and out of college. The profession of Nursing was defined and explored throughout this course. As a college freshman, I needed guidance on varying classes, expectations, and college lifestyle. LSEM helped me transition from high school to college with ease. Professor Znosko provided us with guest speakers and fellow nursing students to advise us on smart decision making throughout our years at Longwood. LSEM also encouraged us to engage in community service and to get involved in campus.

This artifact is a photo of myself enjoying the solar eclipse with LSEM peers on Wheeler Lawn! It felt like the entire honors community was experiencing that moment together. Photo taken August 21, 2017.

Goal 10- Foreign Language Competency

Spanish 101, taught by professor Sanchez, was the first required foreign language class I have taken in college. This course provided me with the foundation of deep exploration into varying cultures and a true understanding of this language. Because of my professor’s helpful methods and enthusiasm in the classroom, I will study abroad this summer in Spain (2018).

This artifact is a lab assignment that was created before my decision was made on studying abroad. Spain has always been a place of interest for me that sprouted in this course. Lab assignment November 13, 2017.

Human Anatomy and Physiology

A & P, taught by my favorite professor Professor Durren, influenced my journey as a Nursing major by laying the foundations for future courses. This course applied skills including long-term memorization and hands-on experimental techniques in order to receive good grades. Because I needed a C or above to continue on in the Nursing Program, I focused my energy into this course and therefore gave me the grade deserved.

The artifact provided is a document of previous notes that were taken in addition to his slideshow notes and notes taken from the textbook. Taking notes in addition to studying the slides was an optional task that put me above the curve.

American Literature

American Literature, taught by Dr. VaNess, was a beneficial course due to its honors credit and knowledgable professor. Dr. VaNess motivated me to challenge myself creatively in writing and research. I learned how to correctly research for a topic through the Longwood Greenwood Library and learned the importance of taking advantage of office hours.

My artifact from Dr. VaNess’s course illustrates my overall growth from mediocre writing to my personal best. I finalized this article after countless hours of researching and visiting office hours. I studied in depth the life of Anne Sexton and how society influenced her work.

Spanish 2

My second Spanish course, taught by Professor Waggoner, helped me make the wise decision of studying abroad in the summer of 2018. This professor was influential because of her experience and fluidity in Spanish and English. I learned how to make conversation in Spanish without stuttering or hesitation and progressed my overall ability to speak this foreign language. Because of this course, I have considered minoring in Spanish but have yet to make that decision.

This artifact is my final project in this course that represents my growth in Spanish and my confidence in speaking it.
