I was inspired to write this post after reading accounts of content-independent learning by Maha Bali and others. Content-independent learning is promoted in collaborative learning communities where students have a significant input into the topics they study and how they study them. The course organiser does not provide a reading list and there is no canonical body of knowledge to be absorbed.

Hello Readers! Hope your week is going well, I know mine is off to a crazy start! School is going well. I’m busy, involved, and loving every second of this intense semester, but one of the things I didn’t expect to love so much is the classwork (crazy, I know, since the sole reason I’m here at Hope is to do be educated.) One of the classes I’m in this semester that I’ve found I love is my Senior Seminar.

This fall semester of 2016, I picked to study abroad in Santiago, Chile, and so far it has been an unforgettable experience. Over the period of weeks that I am have been in Santiago, I have experienced a lot of positive, fun, and negative things, which are part of the living in a country with completely different culture, values, and mentality. Chile has been an amazing and highly valuable experience with full of ups and downs.

Manjar is something very delicious and very Chilian. It is only available in Chile and the closest thing is dulce de leche. People in Chile put manjar almost on anything. Donuts, cakes, pancakes, crepes, bread. Most people have love-hate relationship with manjar. It is truly delicious, but it is really unhealthy. I mean it has a lot of sugar! It has three ingredients: milk, sugar, and vanilla.

I was sleeping and suddenly I woke up around 6 in the morning and everything was shaking. Honestly, I thought that I was hallucinating. My bed, night table, doors, and windows were all shaking for good 40 seconds. When it stopped, I felt the whole building moving left and right. I live in the third floor of an 18-floor apartment building, so that is why I felt the construction moving.

Santiago has population of 7 million people, yet the bus system, which the majority of people depend on everyday, do not have set times or a time schedule. A big majority of Santiago’s working class uses a bus or metro to get to and from work everyday. Many times the metro does not get people close enough, so they have to use bus after taking metro.

Colleges and universities are beginning to put greater focus on onboarding and orientation processes. With the high cost of turnover and the need to retain faculty and staff in a highly competitive environment, orientation programs that address the “employee value proposition” for working at an institution have gained increasing attention. Some of the key opportunities that can be missed without a comprehensive onboarding program include: Opportunities to learn about the institution, its mission

In an era of severe budgetary constraints, colleges and universities have struggled to create new faculty workforce models that are responsive to the emerging needs of a new generation of diverse, nontraditional students. In fact, the traditional tenured faculty model has been replaced by a model in which part-time and non-tenured faculty play a more significant role.
