text: A summer assignment that is created and assigned by the instructor has much more benefit than allowing the student to create their own. A concise and well-written prompt and instructions are of enormous benefit to the student working on the assignment, and a rubric only adds to that benefit by outlining the expectations and requirements to receive a high score. These assignments, while somewhat annoying to do in the summertime away from school, are of immense help to the students whom are taking these courses in the long run. An instructor's introduction is imperative to the student's overall success, not only in the project, but also in the entire upcoming school year.                         Participate in the seagoing cowboys program. participate because you get to travel. i got to travel on the ss. charels W. wooster with 335 horses, hey, and oat. the cattle boat trips is an unbeliveable oppourtunity. if you were to depart from east United States it would take 2 weeks to cross the atlantic ocean, it gives you time to be excited to get to your location. another reason to join is on one of your trips you have the chance to be night watchman! this is when you check the animals every hour.
