How has being an interdisciplinary student helped you thus far in your classes this semester?
This blog has enlightened me to other peoples' views on what it means to be an interdisciplinary student. I know more of what it means to be one from seeing the perspective of others. As to whether or not having classes in multiple areas would help me to get my dream job, I think without a doubt this will be a more diverse and beneficial way to get a better understanding of whatever it is I wish to get into. I think more than anything, being an interdisciplinary student has helped me in my classes this semester by allowing me to better integrate all of them together. I can cross-reference information learned from one course to the other and connect the dots that students with only one major would have trouble with.
ReplyDeletethis blog has definately enlightened me about my degree. It has helped me better explain my degree to people by seeing how others do it. I think i understand the major better as well. I believe that having a major that is tailored to my interests will help me land my dream job. while others are focusing on one area of a job, i have a customized education that is perfect for the job that i want. i think that being a interdisciplinary student has helped me in my classes because i am taking classes that interest me. It has helped me use other areas to help me with my studies.

DeleteThe way you described what interdisciplinary studies is exactly how I do when people ask me what it is. I always tell them it's a valid degree that I have tailored to what I need and I take courses customized to help me land a specific job.
Has this blog in anyway enlightened you and your way of seeing this degree? In what ways?
ReplyDeleteThis blog has helped me in a way by simply just having me write or put things into words the goals that I have aspired for and acheived in many ways. It has now helped me to think about other peoples goals and aspirations and seeing how I can incorporate them within my own.
Do you believe that having classes In these different areas will help you in landing your dream job? Why or why not?
YES!! simply because these classes help you to be well rounded. Not just one-sided.
How has being an interdisciplinary student helped you thus far in your classes this semester?
Well, this is the only class I have this semester so yes it has helped me to open my view of an interdisciplinary lifestyle.
This blog has absolutely enlightened me in the way I see my degree. This blog has helped me to better describe my degree to others. Now I know exactly what to say when someone asks me what my degree is in. I also know how to better market myself. I do believe that having classes in different areas will also help me in getting by dream job because instead of having just one main focus in my degree interdisciplinary studies has allowed me to be more diverse. Being an interdisciplinary has helped me in my classes because I know how to succeed in my classes by looking at them though an interdisciplinary point of view.
ReplyDeleteThis blog has given me the perspective of my fellow students and given me some reference to my degree and my future. By seeing the advancement of the seniors through this blog I've been able to track the advancement of my degree. In regards to the variety of classes I would have to say that I genuinely hope so or otherwise this degree is worthless! The fact that I have a multi-faceted background from this coursework should enable me to get my dream job of teaching in a professor setting. Although to be honest I feel like taking a smorgasbord of classes does have its disadvantage of stretching yourself too thin. Being an Interdisciplinary student had honestly not helped me very much in my other classes except in the blending of political science and history which has been minor at best. On another note on the blog I wish we could have done it in person because I feel like it would have been a better use of mentor-ship, but that again is just personal opinion.

DeleteI have to say that I agree with you on that having a mixed mode course definitely takes away from the personal and honestly more meaningful impact of a college-level course that you would otherwise get from a class that is face to face. I think people's attitudes would be different if interacting physically rather than over the internet.
This blog has truly enlightended and has broadened my knowledg towards my degree and my future. Also the insight and comments of my fellow bloggers has also helped me in many ways personal and academically. I think that having different classes that incorporate towards my choses career, has and will help me have a better understanding on what I know and what I still need to learn.Being an interdisciplinary student has helped me expand and have more understanding on what I want to do for my dream job. Im able to take classes of art and communications which help prepare me as well.
ReplyDeleteAs has already been said, the enlightenment I’ve gained has come from everyone’s responses to the blog. It’s interesting to see different takes on our shared degree. It’s been refreshing having a variety of classes to shape the degree. The extensive class choices help to increase our knowledge base as well as to keep our interests. The options and opportunities provided by being an interdisciplinary major has made it possible to be successful thus far in my scholastic career.
