I think this class was amazing. The content, the teaching style and the assignments/activities made learning very easy and memorable. Personally I found it hard to complete the course online because coming to class was my time to be able to focus on school without my daughter needing me (haha!). But of course, that wasContinue reading “Blog Post #10”

This project has challenged my personal bias on this problem because the topic of ‘adolescent depression’ is something that has been a part of my life every day since my younger sister struggles with it.

My final chosen topic is going to be adolescent depression. More specifically, my question is going to be “To what depth does the upbringing of a child affect adolescent depression, if any?”. I justified my research because it is going to take multiple discipline perspectives to get a full understanding of this topic. I feelContinue reading “Blog Post #5”

I feel very confident in my SEO, all my classes were chosen from the concentration lists. My thematic sequence doesn’t have anything overlapping nor do I have more than 6 CMR classes. I still need to find a replacement for one of the classes that is no longer offered. I don’t think I have anyContinue reading “Blog Post #3”

Every time someone asks me what I am going to school for, I say I am in the BIS program. Of course, not a lot of people know what that is and therefore I almost always have to explain. In my words I say that Integrative studies takes all of the disciplines and allows studentsContinue reading “Blog Post #2”
