Seminar Review

For me, I feel like much of what was discussed in the seminars has already been presented to me during my first year at UM and I am not sure if I have been exposed to more resources than most, but it is always nice to know they are there. I believe that a lot of what I have gained from the seminars has been talking to other people around me to get a sense of their feelings.

The career development 101 seminar I thought held importance because a lot of resources were presented to us that Michigan offers as we move on in our lives and our careers. Also it got me thinking about what I want to do with my future and how my current research can play a part in that, making me think about what I should take from this experience to apply in my future career.

I thought the writing academic articles and getting published workshop was interesting as it was taught from a humanities perspective, and I think really combining humanities and science would help further develop both fields. While I am not in the process of getting published, as I am doing research, the information presented was important and would help me in the future. I think her point about just starting to write was really important, even if it's writing something small, if you can get something down on paper your ideas can start coming together.
