TEACHING DEVELOPMENT
I developed both the syllabus and course material for ENT392 this semester by referencing lecture notes kindly provided by the previous lecturer (Dr. Andrew Keddie). For this course, I attempted to employed a mix media approach, using a combination of powerpoint slides and videos to deliver course content. Given my students' positive responses to the media I have included in the lectures, I feel that this approach has given them a greater perspective into the biology and diversity of disease vectors, as well as the complexities that underly arthropod-borne disease transmission systems.
I also attempted to develop an online learning option via the creation of a student Q&A forum on eClass. The idea was to create an environment

Keddie's original ENT 392 syllabus by replacing the term-end paper with a series of weekly written assignments where I challenge my students to apply concepts covered in class to published scientific literature of their choosing. These assignments serve multiple functions. They ensure that students gain experience finding and evaluating peer-reviewed scientific information related to the course content. Moreover, it encourages students to actively relate themes and concepts covered in class to real-world examples. Given the quality of the assignments, the variety of topics covered, and the insightful questions I receive from my students both in class and in one-on-one meetings, I feel that the weekly assignments were fairly successful in helping my students develop a strong connection between concepts covered in class and current cases of disease outbreaks across the globe.
Since it is my first time teaching ENT 392, I focused most of my attention this semester on developing my own set of course notes and lecture content. If I have the opportunity to teach this course again, I hope to be able to incorporate new methods of delivering the material (e.g. student-led discussions, invited speakers). I also hope to be able to incorporate a greater amount of current research findings and discuss how they may be applicable to the risks, management, and control of arthropod-borne disease outbreak events across the
I am confident that my creativity, communication, and organization skills will benefit Towson’s residential community. Being creative breaks monotony and can make things interesting for everyone involved. Communications skills are important to have for this position since I will be working with residents and other RAs on a daily basis. Having transferred from two other schools, I have met many people and experienced many different things, which I believe makes me more relatable than just your average person. Being organized and detail-oriented makes working with me simple and reduces stress for everyone. Due to my positive and empathetic personality, I am an easy person to talk to and get along with.
Two weeks have passed since the beginning of the new semester, and in contrast to my mixed feelings regarding Biology 110 and Public Speaking, this has proven to be my favorite class. Thus far, we have covered early Native American settlements, the Columbian exchange, and the efforts of the Europeans (particularly the Spanish, French, English and Dutch) to colonize the New World. In addition to these lectures, we have already taken our first test, which was basically a review of the lectures. Perhaps the eight-week span of this course rather than the usual 16 is the reasoning behind the condensed lesson plan. However, I for one am not complaining. Overall, the lectures draw my attention and retain it, and a cursory glance at CrashCourse videos
The history of the right to bear arms, this has been an American tradition since colonist set foot on North American soil. Mass murders have been cause by guns does this mean we should only allow our military to have guns? I believe in the constitution we have the right to bear arms. It was written in the constitution for a reason. Without guns it makes our country weak. I’m not talking about just our military having them I’m talking about citizens not being able to have guns.
There were several parts of this Bio 105 class that I felt were important to my continued education at UNCG and to the rest of my life, but for now I would like to focus on three main sections that I feel were particularly valuable. Learning about anthropocentrism, human impact through pollution, and the human population helped me change the way I think about the world and see myself in it.
TXT- Picasso constructed this piece using cardboard, string, and wire, which was bases from his distinguished work of Guitar, Sheet Music, and Wine. This specific sculpture was used to express the interior aspects of the guitar to view the volumetric attributes and ideas behind the creation itself. Page 156
Week 3 – Produce the slide deck using the outline from week 2 and PowerPoint software. The examples will also be scanned and incorporated into the slide deck. I would also like to include quotes from Claudia Lemper and the students interviewed to provide advice for lab notebook writing. I will also reserve a workspace in the library to record the voice
MCO Wanda stated she was making relief at Colorado/5th. As she was making relief she heard a loud noise. The bus was at stand still at the bus stop.
8. When patients, families, & nurses are satisfied with health care in an institution, public acknowledgment about that institution’s contributions to health care will help the institution remain viable & flourish. Evidence-based practice or policy improvements may be guided by these propositions & theoretical framework.
During my studies at Excelsior, I have learned about Biology, like where life comes from and how it has developed over the years. To prove my knowledge of this class, I submitted a paper to my Biology Professor titled “Mastering Biology.” Although there is still a ton to learn it is a starting point to get a grasp
Discussion topics will consist of casual agents including a brief history, characteristics and means of infection from Lyme disease. Epidemiology comprised of the geographical distribution along with persons with prevalent risk factors of contracting Lyme disease. Also included will be how Lyme disease is transmitted and the pathogenesis of the bacterial agent. Signs, symptoms, and complications caused by Lyme disease. What the conclusion looks like for a person whom has been diagnosed along with treatment
The concept of course 15 module eight that I found most important is active listening. According to course 15 active listening consists of several techniques. These techniques include encouragements, paraphrasing, emotional labeling, open ended questions, I messages, mirroring, and effective pauses. By using these techniques you encourage positive communication
SEQUENCE PATTERN (31) USE FIRST: I had no doubt that I use sequence first because I am a well-organized person and very detailed oriented. I am the type of person that whenever there is a assignment that needs to be completed or done. I will need clear direction that is relevant to the task giving in order for me to organize my steps to have it complete. I have to plan ahead and strategize before I tackle any tasks so I can fully understand the information. I need time to complete my work so I set a schedule for everything since I thrive on a well-organized life. I also enjoyed finishing anything that I start because it gives a sense of accomplishment when I deliver what was expected of me.
After reading chapters 2 and 3 and watching the video on the advantages and disadvantages of the newest DSM, I feel very overwhelmed with information but also intrigued.
A ‘spillover’ , also referred to as zoonosis, can be best described as a disease that has the capability to cross from another species to human beings. The scientists until now, have been successful in identifying approximately 200 zoonotic diseases. In the recommended book, Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic, Davis Quammen has highlighted the emergence and significant effects of zoonotic both human and animal all over the Blue planet. He has covered a good number of the infamous diseases including the Ebola, HIV, malaria, SARS, influenza and Lyme disease.
