College Knowledge
Quick Description: Over the course of this project, I learned about my college of choice, my major of choice, my career of choice, and the neuroscience behind learning. My final product is a paper that explains the importance of understanding neuroscience, how that knowledge affects our college decisions, and the neuroscience behind skills I would need for/learn in college. Below you can read my final paper, to the right you can scroll through my powerpoint, and to at the bottom you can download and watch my presentation of my project that I gave to my advisory class.

Reflection:
Over the course of this project, we researched about colleges. Although it was a biology class, I learned what I want to do with the next five years of my life. We connect this to biology by looking into what areas of the brain we need to develop for college classes as well as the major and field we are looking into pursuing. You can read those areas of the brain in the presentation and the final paper below. I also looked into what skills I already had developed. This was easy because I already had experience in the field I am interested in going into. I created a paper (below) about everything I had learned, from the biology of skills and learning styles to what college would be the best fit for me. By determining my skills and my prospective major, I was able to find a college that would be the best fit for me. This project was extremely useful because I had only briefly thought about college, and as a junior, I would have been so much more stressed if I had waited until the beginning of my senior year to research colleges. I am so thankful to have my teachers push me to think about college in every class. I also really liked this project because I could easily connect the biology we were learning to my future interests. |
