Non-Muse Event Extra Credit: Residence Hall Assistance: Quorum!

I attended this non-muse event on Dec. 1st at 8:30pm. This meeting concern about housing at SJSU. Students got the chance to raise their voices and say what they felt about our housing tuition going up. At the meeting people where asking questions such as why our fees were going up and why is there so much to pay. Students where also concerned about fires, like the one that happened about 3 weeks ago in the Joe West building, and what could help prevent from happening again. A lot of the Students questions got answered, but we the students were still confused about tuitions on housing going up. Overall I left the meeting with some sort of positive information.

Extra credit option #3; My learning style!

My learning style has been a very helpful strategy because it has helped me in class and has made me pay attention and also get the point of the material handed out. I have come to realize that I am a visual learner. In order for the material being taught to stay in my head it would have to be shown on the board. For example math, I cannot learn math if someone explained it to me by words, I have to see it written or else I will never get it. Having to write down the assignment helps me and my skills get an idea of what I have to do. My learning habits have been the same since I could remember and I have been successful at learning in that style. I have tried to use other strategies such as logic learning because I like to have a very detailed answer to my question. Before attending SJSU I never asked questions, but now that I am here and it is a difficult level I have made myself frequently ask questions because I like to know if I'm doing it correctly. I have tried audio learning and that has not been successful. What I would like to learn is hands on things because I like to get involved with hands on things such as fixing cars or building things.
