Mississippi College Academics

While attending Mississippi College I have experienced the difficulty of the academics firsthand and have grown as a person because of it. I feel like I have learned a lot in my three semesters here and feel that I will continue to grow as a student. The classroom size is perfect because they are small enough to be able to get one on one time with the professor. This is important when I am trying to focus and do well in a class because I can discuss a problem I might have to my professor and get some help to improve in the class. Studying is something that coming to Mississippi College I have learned is something that must be done. In high school, I did not have to study very much and could get by with just listening in class. I cannot do that at MC and this is a credit to the difficulty of the courses at the college.

Accounting is feeling pretty difficult since the class is starting to get into full force. The first test is soon and I feel like I will have to devote a lot of time to studying for the test to do my best and succeed. Since Accounting is my major I really hope and plan to do well in the class as well as the test. This business field is one reason why I decided to come to MC and it is something I should do well at if genetics means anything in terms of skills because my mother is an Accounting professor at Macon State. I am enjoying the class so far and feel like I am learning a lot. It is one of those classes that is useful because I will use this information in the future with taxes and payments I have due.

Deciding on classes to take at the college is difficult because there are so many great choices, but I have to choose based on my major since those are the classes that should be my main focus. Some classes are more fun than others, but I have learned something in every class I have been in and I hope that this will remain to be true in the upcoming future. Another difficult thing to do is when to take a class and how many hours to take. I think the more hours the better because if a problem arises then I can drop a class and still keep my scholarship and maintain full time status as a student. These are just a few things that I have learned since coming to MC because I have learned from trial and error what works best for me in terms of schedule.
