Take This CoursePublished 4 years ago in EducationThe Education System Then and Now
Education for me was almost a get away. Growing up in an urban environment makes one think that they are in an experiment almost. PBS, Create, History Channel and The Smithsonian were all ways where I could travel without leaving Indiana. For my friends and I, being told by almost every adult that we had something to prove because we were from the "worst district" gave us all some short of fire under us all.
Ariel KellyPublished 4 years ago in EducationThe day I learned about the power of writing
Okay, so, from the age of 4 to the age of 9, I was the type of student who hated writing. I hated writing so much between those years. I was more of a girly girl, meaning, I was sassy, and I had attitude. I was more of a singer, dancer, and an actor, (I still am sort of an actor!) and the least thing that I ever thought would be a part of my life, was writing. And I seriously had no intention of liking writing after the age of 10. But then, after 4th grade, I was starting to realize, why I was born for.....
justalilpeachyPublished 4 years ago in EducationShould we mass promote all students because of COVID-19?
The global coronavirus pandemic completely shocked the entire world and changed things suddenly unlike any other event in human history. Shops either remained open at limited times or closed down, strict health and safety guidelines were implemented almost everywhere, gatherings had to be cancelled or suspended, many workers suddenly found themselves unemployed, and classes were also forced to be suspended. Just like work, education has forced itself to find ways to continue or studying would be sidestepped only until the risk of getting COVID-19 becomes lower. With that, schools and universities turned to online classes so that students could still continue learning from their homes while the coronavirus is still roaming around. However, many students were not happy with this idea, and they went on to campaign for mass promotion for all students amidst the pandemic. Are they right to fight for such idea?

236,711 deaths in the UK overall, with 384 as of today. It is clear the Corona virus has halted life as we know it. Around the world many countries have been advised by their governments to take part in a self lockdown, as well as taking procationary steps when it comes to social distancing. Life as we know it will cease to exist, the way we shop, the way we interact with others and the way we educate. This in itself is an example of how in the age of the corona virus outbreak, university students, particularily those in their last year of education, have been neglected by both the government and society.
What? No GCSE’s?
Of all the pandemics to hit countries in the past, the coronavirus may be the biggest crises to hit the world as we currently know it. Stock markets have experienced extreme volatility and oil prices became negative for the very first time. It has been said that the economic effects of this pandemic will outweigh the effects of the credit crunch of 2008. So I ask , what would the effects of Coronavirus on formal education be? In a time where almost all of the world has had to lockdown and effectively shutdown what used to be the normal way of life. Can it stay the same? Will it have the same purpose? What was it’s main purpose in the first place? What needs to change? and should there be any change for that matter?

Richa AhujaPublished 4 years ago in EducationAre Grades Hurting Your Education?
As an undergraduate STEM student, I am all too familiar with the feeling of dread that accompanies the return of graded exams. The pit in your stomach grows as you peek at the red markings, afraid of what might be in store. The anxiety surrounding graded school work can be overwhelming and paralyzing, especially when grades are seen as the currency of academic success. From medical schools and graduate schools to parents and peers, the leading discourse is that maintaining a high GPA is imperative. To many, a motivated, successful student is dependent upon the promised reward of a high grade. But are grades actually helping us learn?
Mlana LorePublished 4 years ago in EducationFirst Year of College
Attending Sheridan College's Bachelor of Animation program was my dream for as long as I can remember. I can recall being 12 and sitting on my couch watching cartoons and researching the best colleges that offered animation programs in my area. Sheridan has a pristine reputation among the art industry, the "Harvard of Animation", if you will. I don't think at age 12, I quite understood why Sheridan was considered as such, I think I was convinced I would have a Legally Blonde segment where I somehow managed to get into a top-tier school. The reality is for a lot of people, getting into an Animation (or Illustration, even) program is hard.
