Today we had a class about turfgrass maintenance. We were split into groups and with our groups will have to develop a maintenance plan for our "course." Our group was assigned a exclusively private course. For the project we will decide our management budget and how we will maintain our course.
We also had another Management Communications course. One of our teachers for the course is focusing on our style of management, and today's instructor is focusing on our writing abilities for resumes and cover letters etc. Today in this class we discussed the needs of potential employers and how we can provide a solution to the employers needs.
We finished the day with a math class. The class started with an open book/open note quiz that everyone thought was extremely hard. I do not understand how an open book/open note quiz can be all that challenging, but for some it was. After our quiz we got into fertilizer and chemical calculations and now people are really freaking out. I can honestly say I understand the all the math we have gone over and am looking forward to completing all my homework and assignments for that class!!!!!!
That's good that you are enjoying classes. . . and that you understand the math! That makes things a little easier. . .when you already understand :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are liking your subjects and that they are golf specific. Liking what your learning makes school more fun!
GOOD JOB ON YOUR QUIZ RYAN! next week you'll get a treat as a reward for doing so well! hopefully they will still taste good by the time they get all the way from me to you! love you bro!
ReplyDeletewhat do you learn in math?!?! is it like basic or calc or trig....
ReplyDeleteLisa, Lisa, Lisa. This is a golf course turf program. Calc and trig???? what does that mean. Our quiz was SIMPLE, for example: What is the total area of a fairway.... the fairway was divided into three shapes, rectangle, trapezoid, and triangle. Another question was about finding the volume of a pile of sand. The pile of sand was in a cone shape, was 30 feet across and 8 feet high.
ReplyDeleteIt was all simple inserting different numbers into simple formulas, all of which are included in the book/notes which we can use on the quiz
i figured it was more like... What is the difference in grass lengths between the green and the rough!!
