Advice Column Three
  1. What do I do when I have a class that was supposed to be intro-level, but there are a bunch of upperclassmen making things seem so clique-y? They have inside jokes and rapport with the teacher...and they are extremely vocal about EVERYTHING.

How to Write an Adequate Response Journal

4/21/2020

0 Comments

 
As quarantine has made abundantly clear, writing is the most essential tool of a Rocker. I cannot even begin to explain how much more typing I do every week because of the new online platform, and I’m an English major, so I can imagine how absolutely terrifying it must be to those of you who are not used to pumping out a few 500-word responses every day. In my time at Simon’s Rock, I’ve developed a bit of a formula for the long-form response journal, so I’d like to take advantage of these troubling times and share it with you.

I know better than anybody that the map of Simon’s Rock thrust into the hands of students on day one is confusing. Even the administration is aware of their signage issue, but that has taken a while to change, so I am going to try to offer a temporary solution! (We will see how this goes...)

GB restaurant review: bizen

8/14/2018
