My experiences in the ECP program

Life science has been a fun experience especially because I have learnt new things about life science, gained new friendships in my practical group as well as in my lectures classes. Life science in university is much more advanced than the work I learnt in high school. The amount of work in life science has also been a new experience for me. The essays and assignments that I had to do in life science has taught me many valuable skills such as time management and being a diligent student at all times. I have also learnt a valuable lesson that hard work gives me great results. This valuable lesson has caused me to always pay attention during classes and read ahead before lectures so that I am able to understand the work that is being discussed in lectures.

 In Introduction to Science 153, I have gained a bountiful of knowledge. Not just knowledge to use in class but also knowledge that I can apply in my future workplace. ISC was not always a fun class to be in due to always having activities to do during classes and constantly being reminded of things we need to learn and how important ISC is for our future and ourselves as people. The one part of ISC I really do enjoy is Life skills also known as living and learning. During this class, my class is comfortable and at ease. We are at ease because our lecturer is very open and curious about developing us as first year students. I enjoy this class because I can let my guard down and talk freely about what a first year student experiences and how that makes us feel. The other part of ISC I also enjoy is Quantitative literacy. In this class, I learnt new skills about the nature of mathematics and science and that those two components have a relationship. Due to this, I have come to notice the various links between the art of mathematics and the art of science.

 In Mathematics, I also achieved allot more than I could have imagined. In high school I was unable to understand mathematics as a subject and I always got really low marks. My aggregate was below average and I knew that I had much more potential than I was showing. Now that I am at university I have been achieving an A aggregate in Mathematics and I finally feel like I am showing my full potential in lectures as well as in tests and examinations. University has taught me many valuable lessons and experiences that I never thought I would develop this early in university. Thanks to my lecturers and the consultation times that I am able to attend at any time, I have been able to achieve my maximum potential. I feel that I made the right choice of coming to this university because I have become a well-rounded person not just in academics but personally too.
