Assigned Entry #3 More Options


    It is good to see that the colleges in Arizona are providing students with more more choices. In my opinion,  this new 7 and 1/2 weeks program is suitable for some students, but I don't think that all subjects can be crammed into 7 and 1/2 weeks. The new semester period has its advantages like: students can finish their bachelors degree in 3 years instead of 4 years and more flexible schedules, but it has its disadvantages also like: having a little time to finish the required material, a little time to do the assignments and projects that is requested by professors.

   I think that this program will not help many students because it is hard to cover 4 classes in a 7 and 1/2 weeks, therefor students will take less classes which means more semesters and that takes us back to the same time as they would have taken if they had chosen the regular 15 weeks semester.

   If I had to choose between the short classes and the normal ones, I would choose the normal ones because I am an old fashioned student who got used to the 15 weeks semester and besides the short semesters would be a stressful semester if some of my subjects were crammed into 7 and 1/2 weeks and would be hard to get a good grade in these subjects.

What is That in The Field ?


When I think that I saw everything that could happen in a soccer match, I get surprised by such event. How did that Marten get in the field. It was so hilarious how that animal stopped the match twice and was able to run between the players without being caught.

Assigned Entry #2 Is it the Whole Truth?

    When we write a report about a certain topic, sometimes we neglect to mention some aspects of the topic which changes the understanding and the way people see the report. After a long search on the internet, I came across this video and report “Violent Protests in Cairo after Court Upholds Death Penalties for 2012 Soccer Riot”
    Since I have lived in Egypt for 8 years, I try to stay updated on what’s happening in Egypt, and that's why I have a good background about this tragic incident. As I read through this report I noticed that this report neglected to mention few facts that may change the way you understand this report. For example: the reason why people burned the Cairo's headquarter of the country's soccer federation wasn't just because the 21 people were sentenced to death but for letting the real criminal walk free which they forgot to mention. Also this report lacks the detailed information of the incident.
