Impact <strong>of</strong> CIS language courses on choice <strong>of</strong> study or scholarship options<br />
Influenced me to study another language (Chinese)<br />
It allowed me to only need one more semester <strong>of</strong> language--and I chose to expand on German. The program<br />
helped strengthen my German skills. I did not receive any scholarships for German, nor was I <strong>of</strong>fered any.<br />
It allowed me to take classes that involved some information that I learned in U <strong>of</strong> M-CIS language courses. Gave<br />
me interest to take classes I wouldn't think <strong>of</strong> taking<br />
It didn't really.<br />
It didn't so much. I just liked the language and wanted to learn it while in high school.<br />
It didn't, it was just an opportunity to get ahead before I started college.<br />
It furthered my interest and advanced my language learning. Also helped me to learn more about that culture. It<br />
opened a door for me to look at a different culture other than the U.S.<br />
It gave me more freedom in class selection. I was exempted from having to take language courses and that<br />
allowed me to complete my double major in just 4 years.<br />
It prepared me for the pace and structure college courses require.<br />
Learning a second language is important. It helps broaden your perspective and helps overcome global<br />
isolationism. "Language shapes thought." and learning at least one additional language is a start.<br />
More scholarship options available.<br />
No impact<br />
No impact.<br />
Not much<br />
Not only did I learn another language, but I also learned part <strong>of</strong> a different culture which is important to my<br />
personal background and my pr<strong>of</strong>essional work today.<br />
The experience opened up more study abroad choices, but didn't apply to my general college study or<br />
scholarship options.<br />
Very strong impact. Increased my desire to continue learning (abroad) especially with starting position/advanced<br />
courses.<br />
Additional comments about CIS language studies<br />
Comments<br />
I enjoyed the challenge. My instructor was kind and very knowledgeable about her material.<br />
I work for Alliame - a German owned company. The experience opened doors for me to potentially work in<br />
Germany at some point in my career. I am unsure if I will ever do this.<br />
In my career as a fashion publicist in LA, I have many Parisian clients.<br />
It's wonderful!<br />
Thanks for allowing me to be a part <strong>of</strong> this research. I hope my children will have CIS opportunities <strong>of</strong>fered in their<br />
schools in the future.<br />
The course on the high school campus was outstanding (actually 2 courses). Both <strong>of</strong> my parents also taught<br />
German and they had the greatest respect for my hs German teacher.<br />
This was a great experience in high school!<br />
