Things I Need to Know

I read about four important things that UMF Secondary Education majors should know and this is how they affect me.

1. Praxis

*The test has three parts that I have to pass in order to teach.

* It has to be passed in order to get a license.

* I would need to improve some skills before taking it

* The test costs money, therefor it impacts me.

2. Transferring

* This does not affect me.

* It does show that you have to be doing well in any major to transfer.

* Transferring affects me because I am transferring away from education. Any information is helpful.

* It is important to be aware of how you are doing in school and the path you might take.

3. Practicum

* It is important to have a decent GPA.

* This doesn't directly affect me because of my major changing, but it still shows the importance of doing well.

* Being able to apply for Practicum is only allowed if you meet certain guidelines. This shows me that I must carry myself in a professional manner.

* I would have to make sure my schedule could handle Practicum if I chose to come back to Education

4. Laptop Requirement

* I have a laptop that meets the requirements.

* I received it through UMF.

* Laptops allow access to Campus, Major, and General information about UMF that helps make my education successful.

* Having a laptop means that I can successfully find my way through technology. I will be ahead of those who have not had the benefit of having a laptop so far.
