This course is centered around physical and mental components that affect our day-to-day life often impairing us from our true potential. To keep this course interactive and real to day-to-day life students will conduct group lectures as to what they think success is and in turn define their own version of success

    The introduction to sociology course this semester turned out to be a very intriguing class. I had prior knowledge and connection to the subject, but still I thoroughly enjoyed the class and feel that I learned and developed further knowledge into the subject of sociology.

When I first entered university, I thought the writing courses were useless and just a waste of time since we all can write. Later, however, I realized how those courses are beneficial in improving our critical thinking and communication skills not only the style of writing. Body At the beginning of this semester, I had little knowledge about the APA writing

    Previously, at my other university I took a health and safety course. In that class we learned about staying healthy on a personal level. Personal health is a form of individual care.

It was more of a general health course to inform the students on staying healthy. On the other hand, our current course will be focused on community health care and services
