Case Study Chapter 3

She should remain in college because it's only her first year. She should at least finish taking her pre requisite classes and then by the time she's done she should know what she'd want to do by then.

The suggestion I have for Amy that might help her find some sense of educational purpose is to create a five step plan on things she likes to do, and how to explore those options, then she should find classes that have to deal with these things and take them.

I would counter Amy's claim that no subjects interest her by telling her to explore college a little more first then after she has gotten the hang of things, then she can think about further choices.

No, I would not agree that Amy is currently wasting her time because she can meet new people around school who can show her different activities to get involved with.

No I would not agree that Amy shouldn't have begun college because even if she does drop our, she still would have at least gotten to learn certain experiences before making her final decision.

In order for me to learn all the information I need to learn I sit I the front of the class to hear the things I can understand. Not only do I do that but also when I get home I go onto blackboard and I take personal notes from the power points my instructor has shown in class. By taking things into my own hands I am able to pass my test.

I would recommend that Joanna continue to take her own personal notes, sit closer to the instructor, ask other classmates for help and even go by her instructor office during certain hours to see if the teacher can help her.

I made this recommendation because I know that if I was in the same exact predicament these are some of the things I would do, in order not to fail a class.

Case Study Chapter 8

The thing that concerns me most about Lauren's behavior is that she is easily convinced and has no mind of her own.

What concerns me most about Nick's behavior is that he is selfish and only thinks about his self.

No I do not agree with Lauren's decision to start skipping classes because Nick is clearly only thinking about himself and how lonely he is. He shows no concern about Lauren skipping classes and having her grades drop because of this.

Lauren could ask Nick to help her study for classes. If he has a car she can suggest him dropping and picking
