As a result of final exams coming up in the coming weeks, there are various tasks students should be doing now to start preparing. First of all, students should make the most out of class time. This requires students to attend all class sessions, pay close attention to lectures, and take notes in a way that makes sense to them. In addition to attending classes, students should also form study groups in their classes. Working together helps to develop good study habits, increases collaboration on group projects, and boosts confidence.
While a student is studying, they should switch the topic every thirty minutes or so to prevent learning fatigue. Staying organized is critical for students to be fully prepared for their exams. To stay organized, students should schedule class meetings, homework, assignments, projects, and study sessions. Using a planner to keep track of deadlines, dates, and times is essential, so you do not forget anything or not know when something is due. Another key to preparing for final exams is to focus on understanding the material.
Understanding the material means applying new knowledge to various scenarios and knowing how it relates to other content. Even though it may seem inconvenient, attending the review session can be highly beneficial. During this review session, students will learn important information on the exam format, what may be covered in the questions, and key topics to focus their studies on.
To prevent burnout, students should pace themselves. Students should split the material into topics and review it in stages to fully absorb information into an accurate understanding. Finalizing final exams can be stressful, but the stress level can be reduced with proper preparation and knowledge.
Jaylen Redd, a first-generation college student, will soon graduate from Defiance college with a degree in Social Work and a minor in business. However, Jaylen wasn’t going to go out without a bang and decided to run for Homecoming King to see what would happen. To his surprise, he was chosen to be an attendant for the 2022 Homecoming at Defiance College by his fellow students. To say he was surprised is an understatement, but he was also immensely grateful for the opportunity. He said that his grandmother was why he applied because she had always encouraged him to take every opportunity he was presented with.
When asked how he would describe himself if he could only use one word, he said caring. He said that he “really likes to look out for a lot of people all the time,” and he wouldn’t feel right if one of his friends were going through something and he wasn’t there for them.
That was one of the reasons he went into social work after deciding that exercise science and physical therapy just weren’t the right thing for him. Part of his caring nature and his experiences as a college student means that he offers some great advice to Freshmen. His number one piece of advice: choose your friends wisely. He said that his friends help him stay focused on what’s important and help lift him when he is having a bad day.
He also reminds Freshmen about the importance of time management and keeping on track, so they don’t get bogged down with work. His last bit of advice: use the resources on campus and ask questions. No question is a dumb question.
Jaylen is originally from Memphis, Tennessee, about nine hours from Defiance College. When I asked him what some of the significant differences between Memphis and Defiance were, he quickly came up with a few. He said that “Memphis is just a crowded city” where Defiance is quieter, and everything is more slowed down, and that it gives you a chance to enjoy life a little bit.” He also pointed to the difference in traffic and how there wasn’t very much in Defiance. I also found out that he had never had a bagel in Memphis, which is a very disappointing fact. However, he does want to move back o a big city again at some point after college.
Jaylen is a part of the Service Leadership Program and is also in the McMasters School for Advancing Humanity. This past summer, he went to Belize to educate people about domestic violence in homes and communities and stress management for children and adults. He said that it was still unreal to him that he could go to another country and help people and that it was an experience he would never forget. He is also on the Defiance College Football team and plays defense as a free safety.

Defiance 24 (2-7) vs Manchester University 21 (1-8)
Senior #5 Machari Bighams finds open space vs Manchester
The Defiance College football team hosted the Manchester Spartans (HCAC conference opponent) Saturday afternoon at Justin F. Coressel Stadium for senior day. Defiance seniors (DT) Rigo Villa, (ILB) Thomas Coltrain, (CB) Ja’qway Janvier, (CB) V’Sean Palmer, (DB) Brian Murat, (QB) Jordan Ambrose, (SB) Justin Caballero, (TE) Cole Recker, (ILB) D’Angelo Espinal, (QB) Seth Pearson, (FS) Jaylen Redd, (ILB) Hunter Stettner, (C) Te’Von Carson-Payton, (LS) Noah Pistory, and (DT) Miguel Gomez were recognized during the festivities. The Manchester Spartans were able to strike the end zone first in this matchup as they scored near the midway point (8:41) of the first quarter, thanks to a 4-yard touchdown run from sophomore running back David Smith. The Yellow Jackets were quick to respond as freshman wide receiver Da’Realyst Clark returned the ensuing kickoff 85 yards to the end zone, to tie things up at 7. Nearly four minutes into the second quarter (11:19), senior Machari Bighams punched one into the end zone from three yards out, to give Defiance a 14-7 lead. Five minutes later (6:21 left in the second), Yellow Jackets’ senior Brian Murat intercepted a pass from Manchester junior quarterback Eric James and returned it 98 yards to the end zone, to stretch the Defiance lead to 21-7. Defiance sophomore kicker Zeke Sanchez was able to capitalize on a last-second field goal from 12 yards out, to give Defiance a 24-7 lead into the locker room. Manchester tailback David Smith found the end zone twice in the third quarter on runs of 13 yards and two yards to shave Defiance’s lead to three (24-21) with 2:41 left in the third quarter. Both sides of the football (offense and defense) for Defiance did their part to close out the win, despite no second-half points from the Yellow Jackets. A Defiance fumble deep in their own territory provided Manchester with the football at the Jackets’ 20-yard line with 14:07 left in the contest, but the Defiance defense was able to hold the Spartans to a four-and-out to regain possession. After both teams traded punts, the Yellow Jacket offense took over with 8:25 left in the fourth quarter and bled out the remainder of the clock, to secure the senior day celebration victory. Defiance held the edge in takeaways, 3-2, while each team converted one of those turnovers into a touchdown. Defiance’s special teams accounted for 12 points in the contest (kickoff return touchdown, field goal, three points after touchdown). Out of Manchester’s 222 rushing yards, 202 were by sophomore David Smith. Smith scored all three Manchester touchdowns to put him on the brink of a 1,000-yard rushing season (982). Senior Thomas Coltrain led the Yellow Jackets with 13 tackles, including a game-high three for loss.
When senior TE Cole Recker was asked by The Defender about his thoughts following the Manchester victory, he expressed, “It was great to get another win for Yellow Jacket nation! It may not have been the prettiest win, but in the end we were able to get it done. I am so proud of how our defense and special teams played today. They made the plays that needed to be made. With the biggest game of the year coming up next week, we have to have a sharp week of practice this week ahead. We are very confident that we can bring “The Hammer” back to Defiance! I hope everyone can make it out to Bluffton next Saturday, to watch us beat the Beavers.”

Women’s Cross Country at Hope College (NCAA Division III Regionals)
Lisa-Maria has recently been crowned the 2022 Homecoming Queen. When I sat down and talked with the senior, she said that she had actually just ran for homecoming queen for fun. She had been nominated by her friend and decided to go for it and see what happened.
From listening to her, she certainly did not expect to be selected but was grateful for the opportunity and for all the people that supported her. She will graduate with a degree in Exercise Science and Psychology in a few short months. Her goal is to become a physical therapist. Even with two degrees, instead of describing herself as academic or studious, she described herself as hilarious.
Lisa-Maria said that she likes to have fun and live life to its fullest because you only have one. She also admitted to laughing at her own jokes, which we all know is the best kind of person. From talking with her, she also seemed very optimistic about life. She talked about how important it was for her not to take herself too seriously and just enjoy all the things life throws at her. She said that ” I like being happy. I know life happens, and people go through things, but also, life is too short to be sad and be hung up on things because, you never know, this could be your last day. You can’t predict the future.”
Lisa-Maria is one of the only international students on campus and hails from Berlin, Germany, which for context, is over four thousand miles away. She didn’t come straight to Defiance College. She stopped in Cape Coral, Florida as a foreign exchange student when she was sixteen and started College there before transferring to Defiance College. In fact, she considered her move from Berlin to Florida, and subsequently Ohio, as one of her greatest achievements in life.
She also said, “I’m sort of living my dad’s dream, I guess, and I love that dream for myself as well.” When asked whether she thought she would go back, she said she had “built up so much here that I don’t think that I see myself going back.” Since leaving Berlin and beginning her life here in America, she was able to separate herself from her family and truly figure out the kind of person she wanted to be and achieve that. While talking about Defiance College specifically, she said that her time here had really helped her grow as a person and made her more responsible.
It also taught her self-discipline when it came to getting things done and prioritizing what’s important over things that aren’t as important. She also said that her experience of moving to the United States as a foreign exchange student in her junior year helped her grow up and become very self-reliant because she was so far from her family. However, it was time that she seemed to look back on fondly and enjoyed the opportunity to become her own person.
Lisa-Maria is a RA in Whitney Hall and works at the Smart Center on Campus. She is also a part of the Service Leadership Program, the Campus Activities Board, and the 2022-2023 Defiance College Track and Field Team. The schedule for this season isn’t posted yet, but make sure to support our Track and Field team as they compete in the spring semester.
Did you know, according to Country Living, “The word “Halloween” comes from All Hallows’ Eve and means “hallowed evening”? Every year millions of people will spend the month of October decorating and enjoying fun fall-filled activities leading up to the holiday of Halloween.
Halloween is a nationally celebrated holiday celebrated every year on October 31. The Halloween tradition started with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people would have bonfires and dress up in costumes to ward off ghosts.
Over time, Halloween has evolved into a day of activities where children and teens will enjoy various activities. Some of the most famous activities include: trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, going in haunted houses and walks, and dressing up in different costumes.
Halloween is celebrated annually on October 31 for a variety of reasons. To start with, Halloween is celebrated on this day because the ancient Gaelic festival of Samhain, the oldest known Halloween tradition, takes place on this day. This day marked a critical time of the year when the seasons were changing, and observers believed that they were able to connect with the dead.
This belief was commonly shared among other cultures, but most commonly around the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, which also occurs in October and involves praying for the dead. This was when Halloween gained its scary or haunted reputation.
One of the first American Colonial Halloween celebrations consisted of large public parties to commemorate the upcoming harvest, tell ghost stories, sing, and dance. Over time, Halloween has grown in fame and popularity; today, you will find thousands of houses decorated with pumpkins, gourds, and different decorations, kids dressed in costumes trick or treating, and teens going into haunted houses and walking with the hope of being scared.
To finalize, Halloween started with the ancient festival of Samhain and, over the years, has turned into one of the most popular holiday celebrations where you will find hundreds of kids trick or treating or going into haunted houses.

Jamia led Defiance with two kills per set this season. Freshman Courtney Maxwell served up 32 assists to run her season total to 249.

With the victory, Defiance snapped a 10-game losing streak and earned their first win in HCAC conference action.
When junior Hope Yost was asked by The Defender about her overall thoughts on the season, she expressed, “This season was definitely a learning experience. We learned a lot about who we are as a team and who we are as individuals. With a new head coach this year, we had to adapt to the new coaching style and expectations. Overall, we are excited to have the opportunity to continue to build upon the foundations we built this year and we are definitely excited for the future of this program!”

When Student Manager Noah Svanberg was asked by The Defender about his overall thoughts on the season, he expressed, “While this season did not finish according to plan, I noticed a strong bond beginning to “brew” among the players towards the end of the year. I hope this feeling associated with not reaching the playoffs this year will resonate with the guys heading into next season.”

Our record does not reflect the true improvements, but we played very well as a team this year, which was something we lacked in previous years. We showed offensive strives, and our defense held a variety of teams that are usually at the top of the HCAC conference from scoring. Overall, I am proud of these girls, and I hope they continue to strive for more next season.”

Wrestling at Adrian College (Adrian College Invitational)
A Defiance College senior, Grant Johnson was recently crowned the 2022 Homecoming King. When I sat down with him for an interview, he did nothing but express his gratitude to everyone that voted for him. Grant said he appreciated everyone because they saw something in him that made him worthy of their support and vote.
This meant that he had done some good during his time at Defiance College beyond his academics. When asked about Homecoming in general, he talked about, as a senior, how important Homecoming will be to him in the coming years as he leaves the college and how much he looks forward to coming back as an alumni.
When asked what his greatest achievement was, he pointed to a rather recent one, and no, it wasn’t being Homecoming King, but rather being admitted to West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine. He didn’t tell me that this school is ranked as one of the best medical schools in the nation and has a nine percent acceptance rate. That means less than one in every ten people applying will get in. While he hasn’t decided to go there, he said it was likely, As far as achievements go, that one is pretty fantastic.
While talking about Defiance College, he talked about how his experiences here have exemplified some of the characteristics about himself that he most valued, like hard work and interpersonal relations. He said that while he already had those qualities, his experience at “Defiance College enhanced that because of the resources they had here and just the genuine people they have here.”
He also talked about his experience as a Defiance College Student Ambassador and how his role allowed him to work with such wonderful people in the Admissions office and throughout the college. He also talked about his involvement with McMaster’s School for Advancing Humanity. He talked about his first year as a part of the project and its goal of collecting stories from the Latino community in Defiance and creating a collection of those histories. Unfortunately, this project was over the 2019-2020 school year, and he and his fellow scholars couldn’t complete it. However, they were able to share stories about their experiences, talk about the concept of storytelling, and pick out common themes. He said, “Family was a big one, being hopeful, thinking positive thoughts, but also fear.”
Grant also talked about the Panama Initiative, where he went to Panama and educated over four hundred third through sixth graders about skin cancer and how to prevent it. Both were great experiences, he said, and he was happy he was a part of them.
In addition to his exemplary academic work, he is also a member of the Campus Activities Board, a Senior Class Representative, the Vice President of SAAC, a Service Leader, a McMasters Scholar, an RA, an orientation leader, a Student Ambassador, and a member of APO. He is also on the Defiance College Basketball team, so remember to go out and support him, and his teammates as the 2022-2023 Defiance The College Basketball team participates in the Defiance Purple and Gold Tournament against Miami Middletown and Wilmington on November 11 th and 12 th, respectively.

I am excited and proud to introduce you to Professor Budhatoki. Budhatoki is a professor here at Defiance College and is in the Teacher Education Program. Budhatoki is native to Nepal.
He was born in Bigu, Dolakha, a rural village in Nepal. Even though Budhatoki was born in Bigu, he was brought up in Bhaktapur. Budhatoki went to Om Secondary School and A.J. Secondary School for his elementary and middle school education. For high school, he attended Classic Academy in Kathmandu. He then did his B.A. with a mathematics major and a population studies minor for Tribhuvan. After that, Budhatoki did his MEd and Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in mathematics education from Kathmandu University in Nepal.
He came to the United States in 2017 for his Ph.D. studies. He also did his MeD in Educational Research and Evaluation and Ph.D. in mathematics education from Ohio University.
Budhatoki started teaching as a transitional job and wished to switch his profession after he found an appropriate opportunity. Since he liked working with students and helping them succeed, he continued to teach.
His career started in education when he established an outreach school for dropped-out students. Here he worked as the principal and secondary-level mathematics teacher for eleven years. In addition, he also worked as adjunct faculty at Kathmandu University, where he taught some graduate-level courses. He also worked as a teaching assistant and independently taught some classes at Ohio University.
As he was about to graduate, it was obvious that he would apply to every job that he met the requirements for. He has always wanted to teach independently rather than being mechanized in a larger institution. Therefore, he primarily focused on applying to small institutions like Defiance College. He enjoys the autonomy he has here. Currently here, he is teaching four courses this semester. Two are mathematics method courses for middle and high school pre-service mathematics teachers. The other two courses are Mathematics Content for Elementary Teachers and Advanced Educational Psychology for graduate students.
While he is not teaching, he has to prepare for teaching even when he is not teaching. He also enjoys traveling and engaging with his wife and kids. Also, he is a big fan of socializing; he usually meets his friends and discusses and plays cards. He enjoys teaching here at Defiance College and is excited to see what the future holds for him.
Senior QB #9 Jordan Ambrose moments after hurdling an Anderson defender Saturday afternoon
The Defiance College football team hosted the Anderson Ravens Saturday afternoon at Justin F. Coressel Stadium for an HCAC conference showdown. The first half of the game was a defensive battle, as neither team was able to find the scoreboard until the final minute of the second quarter. Defiance senior quarterback Jordan Ambrose found an opening in the middle of the field and rushed 32 yards to the end zone, to give Defiance a 7-0 lead into the halftime break. Both offenses came to life in the second half, as Defiance and Anderson combined for 47 second-half points. Defiance senior quarterback Jordan Ambrose connected with sophomore wide receiver Tawann Rome for a pair of passing touchdowns in the third quarter, from 18 and 28 yards respectively, which provided the Yellow Jackets with a 20-0 advantage (9:40 left in the third quarter). Nearly two minutes after the second Tawann Rome touchdown, Anderson freshman kicker Mateo Jesch knocked one through the uprights from 20 yards out, to cut the Ravens’ deficit to 20-3. Two minutes later (5:18 left in the third quarter) Anderson freshman quarterback Roosevelt Norfleet III found freshman tight end Ryan McGough for a 76-yard touchdown pass, to cut the Defiance lead to 20-10. With twenty seconds left in the third quarter, Defiance senior quarterback Seth Pearson connected with junior wide receiver Jalen Warren for a 9-yard touchdown, to extend the Yellow Jackets’ advantage to 26-10. Eighteen seconds later (two seconds left in the third), Anderson freshman quarterback Roosevelt Norfleet III found junior wide receiver Julian Holguin for a 69-yard touchdown strike, to cut the Ravens’ deficit back to ten (26-16).
