    1. emphasis on this statement doesn't make it true I do agree we do have good resources for first generation students like a department but I just overall academics could be better half of the students shouldn't not be finishing their studies when they came I with the intent to graduate l believe actions not words and I've seen no action from sf state.

    1. why this does sound nice I have witnesses blantent discrimination for black and brown studies especially on this campus I feel if SF state was really united as they claim they wouldn't have less than 50% graduation rate they would offer more aid to their students nurturing them to graduate

    1. this is a very good point. students study how they learn and if you aren't learning the way that nurtures your learning than studying will not be effective either and its true when you are in the habit of doing something its hard to correct and fix even if its not the best for you. Not only do you have to unteach yourself you also have to learn the style that works for you and as a younger student that can be hard to navigate through.

    2. this is something I can identify with I am a visual learner myself and in subjects like math I need it taught a certain way I took the same math class. taught by 2 different people and thats the difference was how the teacher communicated which I think is valid to make the accessement a teacher isn't a good one because they need to be able to cater to the needs of different people. and if you can't do that for the vast majority of learners it is a reflection of you.

    2. Most Baruch graduates, he added, are making more money than their parents as soon as they start their first post-college job.

      I find it interesting that the texts says most people make more money then their parents did when inflation and job discription wasnt taken into consideration when talking about the lower/ middle class I am skeptical about this article because i feel it didnt take it account first generation students or students of color because there are alot of other things that come into factor.
