Why USF?
I chose to study at USF because of its reputation, diversity and
faculty support for students. I always love to study in Florida because
of its weather - very similar to the weather back home in Ghana. One
other factor that determined my choosing of USF over other Universities
in Florida was the unequaled correspondence and the assistance that the
graduate coordinator of the mathematics education program in the person
of Dr. Gladis Kersaint offered me during my application process.

Student Activities ...
I do attend the African students’ union meetings on campus
occasionally, but I am not yet actively involved. Is a great
organization but my schedules do not allow me to be actively involved
yet.

|
Professors ...
Yes, all the professors that I work with in the past one and half
years in USF are outstanding. One of them that I work more closely with
is Dr. Gladis Kersaint. We published a paper together during my first
year of studying at USF and I am looking forward to publishing more with
her and other professors before I complete the program.

Research ...
Presently, I working on a research project that examines the extent to
which the cognitive complexity for fourth grade mathematics assessment
for different states are similar. I am undertaking this project with two
other colleagues. We are comparing mathematics assessment instruments
from 15 states and we will be presenting our findings in a national
conference in Georgia in March 2007.

Have you made new friends
at USF, please share any special experiences or stories?
Yes, I made new friends at USF and most of them are my colleagues.
They are very helpful. One name I like to mention here is Gwen Johnson
in the Mathematics Education program with me. Sometimes, I feel I border
her too much with my questions but she is always more than willing to
provide me with any help that I needed. |

Most importantly, please tell us
why other students from France should choose USF?
As I mentioned earlier, USF is a great institution to study in, it has
a respectable reputations in terms of research and teaching. The diversity and
the support from faculty is also very great. It also has scholarship
opportunities for deserving students. |
