By: Eddie Cervantes Growing up in Chicago, there was always something to do whether it was in my neighborhood, downtown, or even in a neighborhood on the other side of the city. Transportation was never an issue, it allowed us to get from one side of the city to the other without ever switching a bus or train. However, there are some cons of living in the city.
Teaching Matters Online Learning
OCTOBER 27, 2017
iStock [ConstantinosZ] Questions arise when one thinks about the idea of learning, such as ‘what do we mean by learning?’, ‘where does it happen?’, ‘who does it?’, and ‘what does it have to do with knowledge?’ How one proceeds towards an understanding of what learning is -or what learning could be- does matter. Approaching learning with causality in mind, a taste for abstraction, and an impulse to categorise, can generate a meaningful and useful set of learning objectives to guide teaching desig

iStock [JamesBrey] How can we support our students through their degrees while providing a sense of place and community? This is a central question animating discussions at all levels of the University. Although there are many different answers, one thing is certain: there is no one size fits all approach. Large, diverse Schools like my own – Literatures, Languages and Cultures – also present their own set of unique challenges.

iStock [photominus] In May 2017, I visited Legoland® in Denmark. I arrived at the front gates just before the park opened and children were running around and playing outside the entrance. Five minutes before opening, a princess in a pink gown and several official looking staff appeared on the other side of a metal barrier and there was a palpable sense of excitement amongst the children.

But, the words that will follow this red-underlined-incomplete-sentence are yet to be fought, rehearsed, sang, played, spoke, and deliberated over. The ultimate question remains: WHO WILL REIGN NYKERK CUP CHAMP?

By: Alley LoPrete One of the most daunting parts of choosing a college for me was wondering if I would make the right choice. How do I know my school is the right one? It brought me back to middle school dreams of my future husband and asking my mom “How do you know he is the ONE?” So, I chose a school where I could find lots of options; Hope College.

By: Noemi Rocha As a kid, I would equate nursing school with a trade school. I always pictured the hospital beds and learning the necessary technical skills, but not much else. My Hope experience has been completely different than I imagined and incredibly worthwhile. If I’m being completely honest, I didn’t know I wanted to be a nurse until my senior year of high school.

By: Tucker Marty It is hard to believe that I, Tucker Marty, was once an 18 year old freshman who knew not a soul at Hope College. What’s even crazier is that, now a junior, I am over halfway done with my time here. Wow. Thinking back on my first two years here I feel all types of emotions. I have learned a lot. I have felt loved. I have felt at home.

By Monica Teuthorn Before I started my freshman year, college seemed like a foreign place. I didn’t have a ton of experience with it as I was one of the first in my family to really go away to a college like Hope. I had no idea what to expect. College seemed intimidating thinking about academics, research, internships, and more. I was moving to a new state to live with people I didn’t know, compounded the anxiety I already had about the academics and starting over, but thankfully I found the Phe

By Rourke Mullins, Hope College Senior Here it is, you’re 18 years old and the moment has come when you are asked (a lot) to answer one of the most important questions of your young life so far: “Where are you going to college?” It can be daunting question. For me, it created a pit in my stomach. I didn’t know how to navigate my way through this new feeling and the endless amounts of college mail my mom would throw on my desk.
