COMMUNICATION STUDIES


Although I've been in San Jose State for two semesters, this semester is the first semester I'm taking all upper division courses. I won't say this is a tough time for me, but it's indeed a challenge semester. There were many writings and presentations throughout the whole semester. In every way because of these homework assignments, I feel they really helped me to understand my weakness and strength in academic skills. I learned that my presentation skills, as I expected, are fairly strong though there are still rooms for improvement. I learned that my writing skill really need to improve to catch on the college writing level. I also learned that there aren't that many Asian students that chose this major, which gives me an advantage among Asian people; because I not only know how to do, but also know how to present and explain. Also, after this semester, I know I've chosen the right path and major for my future. I know there are going to be more and more challenges, but I'm glad I found my interests and passion.    

My communication studies


As for my plan towards completing my bachelor communication studies, I've already met with an advisor and came out with the whole progress. Since I already completed all my lower general education courses, all I have to do is to complete the upper general education courses on my major. And in order to complete communication studies, I need to complete six class from three different area, the F, P, I area and several other classes. I already finished both P and F area from last and this semester. Now I only need to complete two of the I, inquiry, courses then I'm done with the requirement. Although I'm on track of the major courses, I'm still lacked of the SJSU studies which is total of 12 units. And those are the last few units I need to take before my graduation on 2013 spring!
