It all starts with the Professor, as Dr. Wetzl was one of the best Professor's I have had in my time in college, and that is not an overreaction. The way she was able to explain exactly what we are doing and how to do it is superb when comparing the other teachers I have had the past. Dr. Wetzl cares about her students success, as she is always available to chat either over office hours or by email. You are able to email her literally 24 hours a day, which comes in handy for me a lot as I work late into the night on occasion. She is always looking to help students in the class, as students success seems like the most important thing to her. I have never had to use APA format before, as all my previous writing classes have used MLA format. I thought she made the transition to APA fairly easy, as we had exercises to complete along the way that she would help us with in order to make sure we understood what we were doing. This is my 3rd time taking College Writing II, as I just could never stay engaged for the entire semester, as I have a problem of letting things outside of class get to me and affect my work. With this class, I was able to keep on track, as I loved the way Dr. Wetzl would post assignments weekly, with exact instructions of what we need done before and after class. This made it tough to get off track, as in order to keep going with the class you needed to turn in prior assignments, as the links were right in Blackboard for us to submit, or we could of just emailed her directly. With this information already in front of me, I never had a problem with forgetting assignments and knowing exactly what was expected from me. I actually just got the luck of the draw with this class, as I didn't research any professor's prior to signing up for the class. I will definitely be suggesting Dr. Wetzl to future students taking College Writing II, as they will be setup for success, as Dr. Wetzl is one of the most considerate and knowledgable Professor's I have had in my time at college, in which I started out at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and have made my way to Kent State University. ]]> 2020-07-28 10:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664040503 ddurda https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664047748 Overall in the survey, 9 total participants out of 23 had a total income level of under $60,000. Interestingly enough, there was 8 total participants who attended a public preschool or Head Start, and 1 who didn’t attend preschool, which makes sense.  Overall in my study, there were 6 participants who said their child attended Head Start, which is the most popular funded public funded program.  Eleven people in my study stated that money was the main reason in choosing their child’s preschool, as they either needed aid or simply picked the preschool that they could afford.  Nine people stated the main reason they selected their preschool was because they wanted a good school, or looked at the reviews for their institution, which is mainly done by parents selecting a private preschool.  Of the 23 participants, 21 out of 23 of them either said they believed their child was either Accelerated or prepared for kindergarten when their child was ready, and 19 believed they were academically setup for success on a whole.]]> 2020-07-28 10:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664047748 ddurda https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664051425 This is good because it is a proposal from Joe Biden, a Presidential Candidate, attempting to fix the preschool system, as many children skip out on preschool because they don't have the necessary resources to succeed in life.]]> 2020-07-28 10:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664051425 ddurda https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664053912 The experience in which a child, Angel, was finally able to attend preschool as a 4 year old, as a program became available to him because of funding from the state made it possible for him to attend preschool. ]]> 2020-07-28 11:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664053912 ddurda https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664056216 This is good in explaining the main differences in sending your child to a public school, compared to a private one. ]]> 2020-07-28 11:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664056216 ddurda https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664057790 This article examines why parents should send their children to preschool in the first place and advantages of attending preschool over staying home.]]> 2020-07-28 11:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664057790 ddurda https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664059121 There are a lot of different programs and funding available to low-income families and those in need in order for them to attend preschool.]]> 2020-07-28 11:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ddurda/Bookmarks/wish/664059121
