So today, we discussed a new in-class project. We were to make up questions that we wanted to ask a senior or peer mentor. It was set up as a radio show and we were going to record the audio. Our assignment was to think of at least 5 questions we had for them.
- Did you enter college with a major already in mind? Or did you come in undeclared?
- Which year was most rigorous for you? (in terms of workload)
- Why did you choose SJSU?
- How has peer mentoring added to your college experience?
- What's one piece of advice you would like to give to freshmen?
