This was the most interesting topic for me in this course because college readiness is a serious issue. This also relates to my GED learners I worked with in my practicum. I happen to have a GED and only did 2 years of high school. Surprisingly, I did very well during my 4 years of undergraduate taking hard science, math, business, and core classes that I never took in high school. This is partly because my form of studying was completely inconsistent with how I was expected to study in high school. I went to my professor's offices for help, tutoring centers, used solution manuals for Calculus classes, online resources, wrote down lecture notes, and even summarized every paragraph of some of my textbooks. In high school, the studying is the exact opposite. Students are given power points, have classes 5 days a week, little time for one-on-one help, and usually do not have to use the textbook. I have tried to inspire my GED learners so that they understand that, just because they did not complete high school does not mean they will struggle in college, but on the contrary, they can be motivated to study and do BETTER than the high school graduate.
