PART 2: College Catalog
Use your college print or online catalog to complete the following.
1. Find and record information about two scholarships/loans for which you might be eligible.
* I might be eligible for GRANTS- are funded by federal or state programs and do not require
repayment, and LOANS- all subsidized and unsubsidized student loans are funded directly from
the federal government through the William D. Ford Direct Loan program. Loans must be repaid
with interest in a specific time period after a period of non-enrollment.
2. Find the curriculum in which you plan to major.
a. Compare/contrast courses suggested for your first term with those suggested for your final term.
How do you account for similarities/differences?
* I believe all of them are equally important and very interesting courses. However, those
suggested for final term are college level classes. In this moment I am still taking remedial classes
which will prepare me to face those with high standards.

3. b. Examine the curriculum carefully. Locate two courses in your major area and read their
descriptions. Which will you find more enjoyable? Why?
* Social/Behavioral Science and Biological Science. I find these areas more enjoyable because,
both deals with things that I will be studying and working later on in my future. Even though, I
don’t like science a lot, I am looking forward to these two areas.
c. Read the description for each of the courses in which you are now enrolled. How do the
descriptions compare to the actual content of the course? What conclusion(s) might you draw
about the courses and descriptions you identified in b?
* I think their descriptions go well with the course content. They are exactly how I imagine they
would be. However, the descriptions for the courses I identify in exercise B could be different
from the course content. I just have to wait until I take the classes on those areas.
