Blogging assignment for 4/26

The thesis statement I've chosen for Essay 1 is the following: Deciding goals and plans raises students' motivation. If we decide goals, we will know what to do and be able to make plans for goals. I think keeping the high motivation is very important to spend the college life successfully.

How do "good" college teachers present information?"

According to Meiland, a "good" college teacher presents information in the following way. In general, good college teachers present some information , in the sense of "what is currently believed." And they spend much time about the basis on which this information is currently believed. Moreover, they demand their students of understanding beliefs at different level from high school and higher level than high school. So students have to engage in a different kind of intellectual activity in college.

I agree with Meiland's opinion. Teachers in high scool teach their students basic skills of each subjects. College students have to learn many and high-level things aggressively in their colleges. But they don't know what to do at the start. So some information from college teachers are necessary.
