Activity #1: MapQuestI’d like you to go to www.mapquest.com and find a not well known town in any US state. Identify how far it is from Orlando, Florida. Find two to three interesting facts about the town to share with us.
The town that I found is Helen, GA. Helen is 521 miles from Orlando, Florida. Helen is full of import stores and the architecture of the buildings are similar to a Bavarian town. There is horseback riding, river tubing, canoeing, fishing, mountain biking and tons more outdoor activities. http://www.helengeorgia.com/
Activity #2: Wal-MartOK, we’ve all been to a Wal-Mart. I want you to provide three items that can be found in a Wal-Mart that describe you in some way. Please give a reason as to why the item describes you. www.walmart.com
Memory cards for my camera. I love photography, so I am always buying them because I take tons of pictures.
DVD’s. I love to lounge around the house with my husband in my free time and watch movies.
Hand Sanitizer. I work in clinical research dealing with infectious disease, so I am very cautious of the spread of germs.The following are questions I’d like you to answer:
What made you choose interdisciplinary studies as a major?
I chose interdisciplinary studies as a major because I like the fact that I can basically personalize my major.
For what reasons did you decide on your focuses/minor?
My minor is criminal justice. I have an interest in why criminals are incarcerated, and how it mentally affects them once they are socialized in prison.
Have you had experience with online learning before?
Yes, I have taken a few online courses at UCF.
What concerns do you have about online learning?
I really don’t have any real concerns with online learning. I feel like education is evolving.
Do you think the interaction between Cornerstone & Capstone students will be useful?
I think it will be very helpful. Anytime a student can learn something from another student that already has the experience I feel like it is very useful.
How productive do you think the mode of delivery (i.e.: blogging) will be?
I think blogging should be very productive. It allows you to stay involved in what you are doing with someone with experience. This is the first time I have ever done something like this, but I am excited to try it.
What is your grade level (Freshman - Senior)? Any further questions or comments?
I am a senior!

I didn't answer the last questions because I thought those were going to be some of the weekly questions, should I repost?
ReplyDeleteI suprised that we have the same Majors and minor! Usually I see that people have one or the other but it's interesting to see that we have the same area's of focus. What are you planning on doing with your degree once you are finished?
ReplyDeleteSorry, it took me so long to reply to you. This blogging is new to me, I just now saw your comment. As far as what I am planning on doing with my degree once I am finished, I am still undecided. I work now doing clinical research, but I am looking into trying something different. I am hoping to figure it out soon because I will be graduating in the fall. What do you plan on doing once you get your degree?
