Ø Describe your ideal Instructor/Professor.
My ideal Professor would be someone that not only lectures, but provides examples and explains difficult concepts in detail. They would also be someone that I would feel comfortable with asking questions and going to them after class to ask them about anything I don't understand.

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?
Instead of just reading over notes and reading the book it helps to look at pictures and diagrams of things we are studying. It's also a good idea to do the practice quizzes some of the books provide after each chapter. Making flashcards also helps.

Ø How do you study for quizzes/tests?
I go over all of my notes and if I don't understand something I look it up in the book. I also look at all of the pictures in the books. I also split up the material I have to study into different sessions and after I'm done studying that stuff I always try to either write what I remember down or say it out loud.

Ø What do you have trouble with on quizzes/tests?
Sometimes when I don't study all of the material in depth I think I'll just be able to guess easily on the test. Sometimes I can, but I've come to realize that now I can't really rely on that. I also noticed that on tests when I come to a question I don't know I waste alot of time trying to think of the answer. Instead I should just mark it and come back to it later.

McDonalds Letter:
Well after reading that letter it's safe to say I will never be applying at McDonald's. I can' t believe how these so called managers are treating the rest of the employees. Just because they wear a different color shirt and sport the badge that says "manager" doesn't give them the right to favor some employees and treat others like crap. Other than that bothering me the fact that in the letter he said that when he dropped one of the spatulas on the floor and then just wiped it off grossed me out. I was also disgusted to find out that when the health inspectors came thats when they decided to freak out and start cleaning. I'm sure McDonalds sees more customers a day than any other fast food restaurant so I think they should be obligated to be the cleanest.
