“We created this video, ‘Beating the Odds in College,’ to give an insight into the lives of first generation college students, that is, students who are the first in their family to go to a college, emphasizing the financial issues they face and how they are trying to pay for their education at CSUN.”
“The student-professionals in UNIV 100 #16695 responded to two prompts—‘How have my values changed since I’ve been at CSUN?’ and ‘How have I built my education?’ The former is a response to a recurring theme from President Koester, and the latter is a theme articulated by Provost Hellenbrand this semester.
“This UNIV 100 course is linked with a COMP SCI 100 course, so the student-professionals used the medium of Powerpoint.”
“Our section of U100 is comprised of College of Arts, Media, and Communication majors, so we were asked to examine, interpret and present a project inspired by The Glass Castle through the lens of a certain discipline/field from our College. Our group defined the book through the eyes of a Communication Studies major and our theme for this project is individualism. We created a website of posts, quotes, videos, and pictures to tie this theme to The Glass Castle. ”
