Ø Describe your ideal Instructor/Professor.
My ideal instructor/professor would have to be one that would have powerpoints as notes. That way they would be easier to copy down and not rush of what they are saying. They would have the easiest quizzes, tests, and exams. They would have to be really cool too to have fun in that class.

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?
This usually happens to me a lot, and I believe that in order to remember, is to study everyday, and go over the material many times. Also, right before the test, go over the material, that way it would be even more fresher in your mind.

Ø How do you study for quizzes/tests?
I am still stuck in the high school way of studying, a.k.a. study the night before or don't study at all. I know it's a bad thing, but I am starting to study everyday. Hopefully doing this will help me do better on quizzes and tests.

Ø What do you have trouble with on quizzes/tests?
I usually have trouble with the way questions are worded and what words are in the questions. It gets hard for me because I studied the material in a certain way, but on the quizzes and tests they are worded differently. I also have a hard time remembering the material that I studied.

*Please go to the website listed below, which is a "Letter to McDonald's" from a former employee. Read it and write at least a paragraph reaction on your Blog site.

I give credit to the person that wrote this to McDonald's. Many people go in to McDonald's to order their food, and not realize what is going on in the back. This letter showed everything. I was disgusted when they told him to pick up the spatula from the floor and just wipe with a paper towel and not wash it. I got grossed out. Many things that he talked about in this letter were unsanitary. I think it is wrong of how the managers treat all the other workers. I don't think it is really fair either, like how the guy that wrote this said. I was also grossed out how he said they cleaned RIGHT before the health inspectors came. After reading this letter, I would never want to work there. This letter showed what goes on in McDonald's.
