Comment to Blog Post 7 - from Victoria

I also had an experience where the student I was tutoring didn't need much help, and I kind of didn't know what to do.  I knew it seemed as though I was hovering, but I would help when she needed after she wrote a paragraph.  This time during the session, I had a similar situation, but instead of sitting waiting for him to need help, I brought my book and read that until he had a question. I think it really helped the atmosphere so that he didn't feel as though I was hovering over him, and I wasn't awkwardly sitting next to him.

Blog Post #11 - Victoria Nemeth

During this period of social distancing, the days are starting to blur together because of the repetitive routine of watching lectures, studying for exams, completing assignments, while finding moments in between to spend time with my dog, eat dinner, and watch some Netflix.  I think that some good things are coming out of this period of social distancing: more family time, cooking family meals, going on walks, and getting some time to slow down and take time for myself to read or watch some movies or series on Netflix.   Last week I had my first online test for biology.  It was on plants and some animals.

I am not really sure what the best combination is for studying, but hopefully this class will he...

Instead of writing about the show itself, it could be interesting to review the show’s evolution from the beginning to what it is like now. The NUin program- this could be an interesting thing to review because it is full of expectations and it is very much an opinion (because so many people had so many different experiences, and view them differently).  I also think there is a lot of room to talk about background information and to talk about my own views on whether I’d recommend the program and describe how I felt during my experiences in the program.  One of my favorite pairs of shoes I own is my Birkenstocks. During the spring/summer/fall (ok basically any month where the temperature is over 50º ) I am always...

Step 1 of Review Prompt: Samantha Rhynard

Three choices for things I would be interested in reviewing are as follows; the book The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind , the movie Marriage Story , as well as the movie The Shawshank Redemption . I have chosen two movies and a book as the media I would find preferable for review options, because they are very good stay inside activities. I would like to review The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind, because it is the book I am currently reading, so I will be able it a fair analysis, having been recently actively involved with it. Marriage Story and The Shawshank Redemption  are movies I would consider reviewing, because I have been told that they're good, but I haven't gotten around to seeing for myself.
