The Balancing Act: Mastering Time Management for College Success
No full textThe topic I chose was Time Management for College Students. My lesson aimed to help students with practical strategies to manage their time effectively, prioritize tasks, and balance academics, self-care, and fun. The purpose was to address common challenges like procrastination, stress, and missed deadlines by teaching methods like SMART goal setting, prioritization, weekly planning, and time blocking.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1106/thumbnail.jp

How To Get Involved on Campus
No full textThe topic I chose was transitioning to the next few years at Cortland and how to get more involved on campus. Joining a club or community at school offers invaluable benefits that extend beyond the classroom. It gives a sense of community, allowing students to build lasting friendships and connections. Colleen Flaherty posted an article that included research and student voice polls. This research found that “A fresh Student Voice survey finds that more than half of students who aren’t engaged in campus life beyond the classroom are dissatisfied, that campus involvement is linked to ease in making friends and more.” (Flaherty, 2023) Many students get overwhelmed their first few weeks after coming into college. This overwhelm can lead to them feeling isolated and alone and they are unable to break the cycle. It is important for them to be well-aware of clubs and programs they could join, especially because Cortland has something for everyone. Ohio State did a study that showed the positive impact of joining extracurriculars on campus. “... studies have shown that college student involvement is positively related to academic performance, cognitive development, well-being, leadership and multicultural awareness.” (Ohio State, 2020) By becoming involved on campus it enriches a student\u27s time in school and promotes their personal growth and belonging.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1070/thumbnail.jp
Navigating the Noise: Tips for Health and Wellness
No full textThe topic I chose was health and wellness. I chose this topic because the transition into college life can be challenging and feel isolating. Now that they are on their own it is important to understand what you need to do to take care of yourself. During my lesson, I talked about a variety of topics including nutrition, sleeping habits, homesickness, stress, and time management. Not getting enough sleep can have a huge impact on academic performance so the best thing is to create a routine so your body starts to feel tired at the same time every day, and avoid doing work in bed (101 Wellness Tips). Doing work in bed can make you associate your bed with all the work you have done/need to do and can make it harder to fall asleep. Having good time management skills is important to be organized and prioritize assignments that are due first to avoid being stressed. Although some might not be willing to admit if they miss home I wanted to create a safe environment in the classroom where they felt they could be honest and see they weren’t the only ones feeling that way. One of my goals for this lesson was for the students to feel like they weren’t alone in what they were going through. Another one of my goals was for them to be able to identify ways they could help with homesickness as well as create a balanced routine that included good sleeping and eating habits. As first-year students, early in the semester, they haven’t formed solid friendships yet. This is something that might take longer for others and there is nothing wrong with that. There is a strong correlation between having a good support system and having a positive outlook on life and being able to persevere (Hu). The adjustment to college for myself was quite challenging and in sharing my experience with the students I hoped to show them that even if their experience starts out rough, it truly does get better with time.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/cor101posters/1061/thumbnail.jp

Lesson Plan (2024-2025)
Get PDFIn this remix assignment, Tara Panzer takes research on The Flower Man and “The Key Game” and creates a two-day lesson plan sequence with rationales for activities and assignments in order to teach third graders about the Holocaust. The standards she identifies for this lesson plan are students taking perspectives of and empathizing with others, including those from diverse backgrounds and cultures.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/rhetdragonsremix/1005/thumbnail.jp
SUNY Institutions and NAGPRA; Apathy, Ignorance, or State Violence?
Get PDFThere is a well-documented history of US state institutions possessing Indigenous human remains and cultural artifacts without consent from descendant communities. Since the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act’s (NAGPRA) establishment in 1990, institutions have been required by law to repatriate these remains back to their rightful communities, but today there are still many cases of repatriation that remain uncompleted.To evaluate NAGPRA’S effectiveness in New York State, I investigated repatriation efforts on 64 SUNY campuses. I examined campus involvement concerning NAGPRA by collecting data on NAGPRA Coordinators at SUNY campuses and collections held by their departments and museums that potentially fall under the realm of NAGPRA. I am also analyzing the index of repatriation reports in the Federal Register, while writing a literature review that includes legislation. Results will help measure NAGPRA’s effectiveness of sparking repatriation effortsfrom the perspectives of all parties involved, including Indigenous descendant communities.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/slides/1030/thumbnail.jp
Using exercise to reduce the physical symptoms of Parkinson\u27s disease.
Get PDFProper forms of exercise can be used by individuals with Parkinson\u27s to reduce the effects of the disease. Our study utilized a unique eccentric lower body exercise program to improve gait, balance, mood, and movement initiation/control for people diagnosed with Parkinson\u27s disease. The twice weekly, 12 week exercise regime was evaluated through a variety of biomechanical, physiological and psychological measurements conducted throughout each of the training sessions. An analysis of the measures indicated that the exercise protocol did provide positive outcomes related to gait, balance, mood, and movement initiation/control for individuals that participated in our studyhttps://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/slides/1031/thumbnail.jp
