Comm330: A Career As A Social Venture

Some of the goals that I plan to accomplish include being on the dean’s list and obtaining a summer medical internship. I wrote about these goals in my previous reflection essay, and they have not changed since. I continue to work hard to achieve these goals. To acquire them I am studying hard and preparing myself for the scientific research I will do in the summer. I have discovered that it is extremely important to learn how to work well in groups, because the internship that I wish to obtain along with many other summer programs requires students from all over the globe to work with one another. So far at Spelman I have completed various group projects in classes like African Diaspora and the World, and I have grown to appreciate the genuine camaraderie that I gained with my group members. Working in groups helped to improve my

For this class project, I think my group worked well together on the assignments. We all saw we had responsibilities and were expected to do our own parts for each assignment we worked on. For each assignment, we would split it equally among us and used a tool called Google Docs so we were each on our own computers but working together on one file. Google Docs really made the process easier with reviewing all the information and having it all in one file. If any questions came up we had a group text to communicate when we weren’t on campus grounds for class.

2. When someone wants to solve a problem or present new ideas they will be asked to write a proposal. A solicited proposal responds to the requests for proposals. Then there’s a grant proposal that are used by non-profit organizations and researchers to obtain funding for their projects. A person writing

I believe many students do not like group assignments because for the most part a person or two do not pull their wait leaving the leader doing most of the work. Other problems includes having to deal with various personalities, the work distribution, trying to communicate with each other, feeling vulnerable, and the way everyone gets the same grade because it is a group effort. So the lazy people get the same grade as the people who worked hard.

At Pueblo Community college, I utilized the Desire 2 Learn to access and manage announcements, grades, email, and other materials. At Colorado State University – Pueblo, I utilize Blackboard for the same reasons. In regards to standard 7.6, based on the evaluations I have received from my cooperating teacher this semester along with my own observations, I have been successful in building a rapport with the students in the second grade class. I believe that the students felt comfortable approaching me for help. Concerning standard 7.8 I have completed over 90 credit hours while in school. Majority of the courses that I have taken have integrated group work and projects in some way or another. I find that working with a team of peers is beneficial for me, so that I can observe and learn different views and approaches on a subject. Each individual has their own strengths, weaknesses, and different learning styles, which is why group work can be helpful. Group work also requires communication skills, which are important for success as a

Additionally, while I am still in the very early stages of constructing a proposal, I hope to pursue undergraduate research that investigates the

The camp I went to gave me experience in group work that was a bit different and not just sitting around talking. We would talk at the end of the day and de-brief, definitely when I went with my youth group but we were also surprised the feelings and emotions that came up from our experiences from the day. From my experience with the other classes, I have been in and the experience of meeting my group members and jumping into an example I am confident that this class with continue to challenge and build my skills. I hope that my confidence will help me and not inhibit me in any

AP Language and Composition was not the easiest course I have ever taken, but it was definitely the most beneficial. At the beginning of the course I was not the best writer. However, as the year went on I gradually learned how to correctly type college level essays. It took many trial and errors to get to the level of writing I am at now, but now my writing is better than it has ever been. On top of Mr. Hamilton successfully teaching me how to write, I also learned that it is very important to have good time management and to be able to finish homework on time. When I was not finishing my homework I would become lost in every group discussions. As the year went on, I began to sit down and do my homework thoroughly every night. Once I started doing that the course started to become less difficult for me. This class is still going to be a difficult, the only difference is whether a student is willing to put in the work it takes to make it a little less stressful than it is. While this class was extremely stressful and time-consuming, I am grateful that I was able to learn the lessons I did before I went off to

Coming into freshman comp at the beginning of the semester I was worried this would be my hardest class and that I would hate it. Walking in the classroom on the first day and hearing the words, “you will be writing a 10-12 page paper by the end of the semester,” gave me so much anxiety and made me very nervous for the class. As the class is now coming to a close it has made me realize I should have never been so worried about this class and that I would learn many new things I did not know about writing such as writing strategies, metacognition, and how to write a good research paper.

Learning objectives promoted in the college level class on teaching writing that this text was handed out in, strongly emphasize the importance of group work, as revealed in the writing theory handout and the scholarly overview handout (see attached).

This section discusses the plan on how to set revenue and social impact goals, how to navigate the sociopolitical landscape, and how to develop a strong concept

I used to believe that I did not perform very well in groups. I am an observer who likes to learn alone. I thought I learned best when I worked on my own. Even though I always knew group work had many positive values, I was more comfortable with the lecture-based approach and resisted group work merely because it involved change, not because it had a collaborative learning approach. However, during the learning community project, I came to realize that I learn more effectively when I work in groups. Working in a group was like an adventure for me; there were both exciting and challenging times while preparing for the learning community project.

In conclusion, this class has changed my perspective about working in a group. Since my prior experience with groups was so unsettling, I believed that all groups were going to be the same. However, this class has made it possible to believe that there are groups that respect and take into consideration other members’

What I liked about this term was the events we were able to organize and help out with. For this class specifically, group work is what really pushes everyone to learn. Although we may fool around in class, I know that our group has actually learned some skills whether they realize it or not. At the moment, I don’t think anything could be done to improve my

The proposal writing process is multifaceted, encompassing both the actual submission of a request for proposal as well as the management of the implementation of received funds. Through class lectures and assigned readings, we’ve discussed the various aspects that make up the process of grant writing. Through this essay, I will explain this process as it leads up the management of the project once funded. Furthermore, this essay will explain how to ensure that the proposal submitted addresses key aspects necessary for the project to be implemented in line with best practices for project management.
