My Second Year at CSN

I am already about a month into my classes, so I figured it's about time I made my second post. This is my second school year attending CSN, but because I failed this course one too many times I'm still considered a freshman. I recently declared my major as business and although I don't know exactly what I'm doing with this degree, it's nice to know what direction I'm going in.

I have never been someone really into academics, but most of the time I'll still pass with a B-C average. That's the main reason why I thought going to CSN would be the smarter way of approaching college rather than a university. Being here has improved my ability to learn and apply my skills more than any previous school has. Being in a classroom where everyone is reaching for the same goal (to learn and to pass the course) and a professor that is willing to stay extra hours and gives extra resources to help you succeed is a great environment to be in. There's a computer lab, library, writing center, free tutoring, and more. These resources motivated me to improve and succeed in any course I take on. 

Going into my second year at CSN, I have already improved my listening skills and possess way better studying habits. This class is one of the most challenging for me, but again, with the resources given and a professor there willing to work with me one on one, it would be almost harder to fail the course than pass. 

IS101 First Impression

This course IS101 seems pretty straightforward when looking at the requirements to pass. But after taking it my first semester at CSN I learned just how wrong that impression was. I failed the first time taking the course. Luckily this semester (a year later) I learned on the first day that the requirements were changed to focus the course on the more important aspects IS. Now, instead of three tests, pass all or fail, it's more reasonable to pass the class.

I could already tell by the first class in here that the professor really cares about helping each individual on what they need to be successful. He thoroughly went through the syllabus and briefly went over each assignment. He walks around and makes sure any confusion is resolved so we can stay caught up in the class. I already feel better about this class than I did taking it the first time.
