Which courses encouraged you to identify the theoretical, conceptual, or methodological connections

between your chosen Concentration disciplines? How did they encourage this identification?

Interdisciplinary Seminar helped me to identify the intangible connections between my

concentration disciplines. This class helped me by exposing me to peers in the same
situation that I am in and that share similar passions.

Which courses helped you to integrate your Concentrations through practical application of these
connections? What assignments allowed you to produce this kind of interdisciplinary work?
None. I believe that my concentrations are connected not literally but rather through the
approaches that I take to them. The discipline of one enhances the discovery of the other
and vice versa.

In which courses do you feel you improved your communication skills, either in written, visual, or oral
expression? Which assignments show most clearly your skills in this area?
I improved my communication skills in Interdisciplinary Seminar specifically through the
memo project. I have included this memo in my portfolio.

Which courses allowed you to explore local and global perspectives on culture, society, and history?
Which assignments pushed you to investigate and expand these perspectives?
Interpretation and Argument allowed me to explore local and global perspectives on
culture. The assignment that assisted me was the contribution paper. I have included this
paper in my portfolio.

In which courses were you able to engage in experiments and theoretical work to produce real-world
knowledge? How did the assignments for these courses encourage the application of theory to practical
knowledge?
I was able to engage in experiments and theoretical work both in my research for credit
and in Organic Chemistry II. I have included examples of my work in these classes in my
portfolio.

Which courses encouraged you to think more about how decision-making on both the individual and
social levels is informed by cognitive, behavioral, and ethical issues? Which assignments allowed you to
more closely examine how these issues affect decisions?
NONE

academically and creatively, by the end of your senior year? What kinds of projects, or courses, will help
you achieve those goals?
I would like to go to medical school in order to pursue my dream of becoming a surgeon.
Projects that expose me to patients or teach me about the human body will help me in
pursuing this goal.

Where are you headed next in your professional career? What would you like to accomplish, both
academically and creatively, in the years following graduation? What kinds of projects, or courses, will
help you achieve those goals?
After I graduate from school I will take a gap year before medical school. During this gap
year, I will work as an EMT/Ambulance driver.
