Building a Degree Fit For You!
No full textThe topic I chose to teach is “Building a Degree Fit For You!” which will entail explaining resources provided to students at Cortland that make registration less chaotic and stressful. Tools such as schedule builder, degreeworks, and starfish are all resources that students can utilize to make sure they are registering for classes they need and create a plan for their upcoming years of college. A study done by Ashley Mowreader at the Inside Higher Education Department found that when students were asked what services are most important in their decision to continue enrolling in college, 37% responded that academic advising was most important and 28% of students said academic registration was second most important for their success. When I was a first semester freshman I had no clue how to register for classes and felt unsupported in every way. If I can be a person in these students\u27 lives that makes them feel uplifted and encouraged I will do anything I can. Especially if that simply means providing them with these resources and demonstrating how to utilize them. The same report stated, “the report found a direct correlation between awareness of support services and feeling of belonging–students who had higher levels of resource awareness also felt higher levels of belonging in their community.” This project is super important for these students and will assist them in succeeding during registration and each semester that follows.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1125/thumbnail.jp
Discovering Your Niche in Physical Education
No full textFinding your niche in physical education is an important step in developing a purposeful and fulfilling career in the field. This project explores how identifying personal strengths, interests, and teaching philosophies can guide future physical educators toward specific areas where they can thrive, such as adaptive physical education, coaching, health and wellness, or outdoor education. Through reflection, peer discussion, and analysis of professional pathways, this presentation highlights the value of self-awareness and career exploration in shaping one’s professional identity. Understanding one’s niche not only enhances motivation and confidence but also improves the ability to make meaningful contributions to students, schools, and the broader community. Ultimately, discovering your niche in physical education helps align passion with purpose, leading to greater satisfaction and long-term success in the profession.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1130/thumbnail.jp
Successful Study Skills - How to Stay on Track for Finals Week
No full textThe topic I chose to teach is Successful Study Skills - How to Stay on Track for Finals Week. I chose this topic because I know how difficult finals week can be as a freshman. If a student is stressed, their performance on tests may be affected. According to an article by Harvard Summer School, skills acquired in high school often do not transfer to college due to the drastic change in academic requirements (Parsons 2023). It can be challenging to determine which study technique will be most effective, but practicing new strategies and research tips will help students find a method that works for them. An article, Studying 101: Study Smarter, Not Harder, gave numerous tips on how to study effectively. There are many different types of learners, and each one will likely approach studying in a unique way. In my lesson, I informed my students about the various ways of learning and guided them to understand their own. My informative activities helped them reflect on themselves. My presentation taught the students about the right resources and how to manage their time effectively when they have a lot of studying or assignments to complete.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1131/thumbnail.jp
Making the Most of College Life
No full textThe topic I chose to teach was ‘Making the Most of College Life.’ My presentation focused on helping students discover opportunities to get involved on and off campus as a way to enhance their overall college experience. Many students struggle to find balance between academics, social life, and personal wellness, which can lead to stress or isolation. Research suggests that campus engagement positively impacts students’ sense of belonging, leadership development, and academic success. By participating in student clubs, sports, campus jobs, or community service, students build friendships, expand professional networks, and grow personally. My goal was to encourage students to explore involvement opportunities that align with their interests while learning strategies to manage their time and maintain wellness. Ultimately, the lesson aimed to empower students to take advantage of all that SUNY Cortland has to offer, academically, socially, and personally.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1136/thumbnail.jp

Positive Thinking Vs. Negative Thinking
No full textThe goal of this lesson is to help students understand the difference between positive and negative mindset and how the way we think can affect our success in college life. Research shows that “college students with a growth mindset show better adaptability when facing difficult situations or challenges and appear to be more optimistic. They believe that their abilities can be cultivated” (Tao, pg. 5). Learning how to think positively can help students manage stress, handle setbacks, and stay motivated whether they are in class, at work or facing challenges in everyday lifehttps://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1145/thumbnail.jp
