When I came to Blinn College, I took the TSI test. I passed math, but I did not pass reading, so I’m taking the Reading 0304 course to develop my reading and writing skills. I don’t know how to use Add and Drop courses system, so when I added Reading 0304, I did not know how do to search about my instructor, therefore I enrolled to Mr. Still class. The first day of class Mr. Still met us, described how he will teach us, and the teaching methods he will use during the spring semester. But, the class changed many things for me. First, managing time was difficult for me, when I had a lot of homework assignments, blogs, essay, and a group project. Second, this course taught me several things, but the important thing was how to find the main ideas and supporting details, to better understand the meaning of a paragraph. Third, this course Mr. Still gave weekly quizzes which required me to keep up with my studies. Some students hate this system, but in fact, the quizzes are useful in learning material. Fourth, this course taught me the deafferents between crystalizing and fluid intelligence. in fact, I thought they meant something. Fifth, every two weeks Mr. Still gave us an article that connected with our social lives, and I begin to like reading a magazine and understand the content. Sixth, this course taught me about plagiarism and I was making a copy of someone’s article and posting this article on my page.  Mr. Still gave my grade Zero, but now any articles or blog are from my mind. Seventh, this course taught me how the internet makes me stupid. The internet has decreased people to focus for a long period of time. Finally, this course with Mr. Still it is too many quizzes and in Blogs, but it is useful for us for building our reading, and Mr. Still made it a nice class.

When the entrances to the auditorium, he was receiving great cheers, clapping and some stood because those students know how Dr. Carson is, students know him from his autobiography, it distributed by the local bank to students. In his speech, he used simple words, not a high level of education, because he was addressing teenagers, but the main idea to convince the students and attracts their attention and makes his speech clear to all ages and everyone understands what he is talking about. He was effected on the students, about, he taught them what is the difference between being viewed as cool and being classified as a lowly nerd. He wants to build good teenagers don’t think like cool guys, the cool guys are not thinking about their future and life. They own luxury cars, wear the latest fashion, converse about the latest blockbuster mo...
