Captone Course Reflection

Throughout my time this semester in Instructional Technology 325, I was able to learn many different resources that I can incorporate into my future physical education classes. I believe that I can incorporate technology into my gymnasium with the basic projector screen, stereo system, ipad, ipod, and heart rate monitors. I also can include some more advanced technology support as well. I would like to use Google Cardboard, Google Expeditions, Curiscope, and HTC Vibe: Virtual Reality.

I am a student in the Masters of Science in Information Security and Assurance at Western Governors University. I am currently working on my Capstone Project. The capstone project deals with a significant real world business problem that integrates the component of the degree. I have chosen to do my project on how blockchain technology can improve banking and cross-border payment system. I my project I am interested in implementing the ripple payment system using BaaS platform in Azure I my scenario: “ Bank of the People” (fictitious) With 10 billion in assets and process about 12 billion in cross-border transactions a year. I need to know the following for a cost analysis in the three models that Earthport offers financial institutions

1. The major project for this course is creating a marketing plan. Provide company name, a description and URL, if available. You need to either select a small company or small non-profit that is already in business; however, if you work for a large company and would like to focus on that then concentrate on one small part; for example: your department. This project will become part of your portfolio created in the MBA Capstone course so create it for something that can be shared (with whom you choose to share it with). For example: if you create a plan for your department and are sharing confidential information you won’t want to use it later in the Capstone class.

I have choose two focus students who reflect different learning needs and will have modified assessments. Focus student number one is a five year old child with a bilateral hearing loss, pulled out for individualized services. The child spends the majority of his time in a general education environment. He will benefit from being asked leading questions before he picks his category. This modification is being made for focus student one. Focus student two is a five year old child with a unilateral hearing loss and Down syndrome. The child is in an inclusive environment with a full time paraprofessional for a small part of the day and spends the remainder of time in a special education classroom. The child’s preferred method of communication

After the course, I plan to translate the skills and knowledge obtained in developing and writing research proposals that attracts funding. Currently, the MRC/UVRI unit is involved in efforts aimed at reducing and controlling infectious diseases, especially HIV: testing candidate vaccines, assessing treatment options and coming up with solutions for better management of infectious diseases. Therefore, I hope to use the acquired exposure and research skills to contribute to ongoing research at the unit. I trust that with the immense knowledge obtained through my master’s studies, I will be able to work independently while conducting scientific research. I intend to use my skills and time to ensure continuity of knowledge by building capacity

The Capstone Experience gave me a positive perspective in learning on structuring a business. I was hesitant throughout my sessions on how to proceed; however, after researching the web and corresponding with the session requirements, I was able to gain and improve a new insight of knowledge. I appreciated the diverse topics that the Capstone course presented. I agreed with the assignments for each session. What I disagreed with was not having thread discussions (besides session 8). In the past, I have learned different background experiences and perspectives from my classmates; therefore, I missed not having thread discussions in the Capstone course. Nevertheless, I was able to get over it and appreciate addressing the assignment

Tutoring these courses including six other biology and chemistry courses, highlights my proficiency in this competency.I acquired this competency by completing over 10 laboratory sections for different sciences course, including physics, biology, and chemistry. As a paramedic instructor, I also have experience conducting laboratory skill stations for students. These laboratory stations consist of a variety of procedure and assessment

The most enjoyable part about the capstone course was it did not feel like a class and felt more like a round table discussion. Being able to express our opinions about certain topics, made it easier to communicate with peers outside of the class. There was multiple people who I have class with before since my freshman year but did not truly engage in a conversation with them until this capstone course.

The whole experience of working on my Capstone Project Proposal has been a challenge, but great learning opportunity. There are so many aspects and factors that play major roles in research that I had no idea existed. Through this entire project I have been able to understand the hard work put into nursing research and the importance of nursing research. According to Thorne (2016), “we need to repeatedly remind ourselves that the purpose of nursing research is not simply to do it, but rather to use it in the service of our mission on behalf of society” (p. 763). The complex problems of health, as well as, the health care system, are continually evolving in the world (). According to Throne (2016), it is up to our generation to utilize tools and methods to study and expand knowledge so that

Before I began CCU, I was a little nervous. I don't know how well that I will remember what I am learning, etc. Since I began, I feel much more assured.

It came to my attention a while ago that in applying to liberal arts colleges, I was not only applying for a world-class education, but I was also applying to be part of a small tight-knit community. That tight-knit community would be as diverse as it gets in terms of race, ethnicities, and ideas. Typically, a clash of ideas yields conflicts, but that is not what I have learned. From research and the extremely helpful DIVOH program, it seems that Amherst is a place where new families are made with students, teachers, and faculties. This is only possible because of the open-mindedness and “candor about the inevitable tension.” Any and all boundaries are crossed and meshed together artfully and splendidly.

I successfully met the objectives of last quarter in regards to require completed areas of my capstone proposal and gain approval to proceed. I have spent an average of 25-30 hours a week devoted to my studies and research which I felt provided a good balance. I incorporated the feedback provided throughout the course and focused more on the product deliverable as a training curriculum versus a change management mentor plan. Looking back I could have solicited more feedback in the initial stages of the capstone development proposal plan.

The capstone course challenges your strengths and makes you work on your weaknesses. I pride myself on my leadership ability but during this course my team was challenged with conflict this challenged my leadership ability and an area in which I would like to grow and that is being an effective team member. Overall we were able to overcome the setback and quickly get back on track. But it made me realize the importance of leadership in the face of discontent. The Market place also gave me chance to coordinate several projects at once challenging my time management skills and my application of business processes I have learned throughout the MBA program. The challenges of the market places also required me to look at more innovative ways of

As the semester started, I had set my mind that I was destined to achieve a lot. During the start of the semester, I had several difficulties writing English assignments especially in terms of grammar. During the first week of the semester, I sat down, organized my thoughts and comprehended that throughout the semester, I had to achieve all that I had planned for. As a student of English, I had planned that throughout the semester, I had to improve my skills as a scholar, writer and critical thinker. Now that the semester has ended, I can reflect all the semester activities to depict how my writing skills and critical thinking skills have drastically improved. This paper presents a reflection paper of how this

I think Capsim was a great tool to help us understand, try and check our mistakes and make corrections. I think this course was a great experience as it helped us understand how it is really to make important decisions for our businesses, how every decision we make impact our performance not only on a yearly basis, but also on a daily basis. This course also helped us understand the imporantance of each department and how each department's roles can impact positevily or negatively in our business, how important is to know our market and make decisions based on the study that we have gathered from our customers and meeting their expectations, constantly evaluating our competitors and our customers' needs, creating goals, strategies, champaigns
