Grossmont College Social Science Journal Journal Entry

majored in social science with my primary being sociology and my secondaries: psychology and womens gender and sexuality. that will help u answer some of the questions. 

What is the story of your college career? Think about a theme, topic, or narrative that connects the classes you have taken. This is part of being able to present your educational story to a potential employer.

As you look at your transcript, what ideas/concepts/skills did you encounter that was very hard for you to understand? Frustrated you? Please describe or define the idea/concept and why you had that kind of reaction. (The more specific you can be the better).

1. Are there ideas/concepts/skills you encountered during your academic career that once you understood them changed made it easier to understand future concepts in your major or helped you succeed in subsequent classes?
2. From the reading and video on threshold concepts pick a quote from the reading that makes the most sense to you and a quote that was super confusing to you
3. For your last journal entry, you described a time when you struggled to understand something and what you did to break through that struggle. For this entry, use this same experience and describe anything about it that seems similar to the threshold concepts framework. You can use a sentence or two from the readings and then explain what it means to you for this experience.
