Dr. Coleman Class Analysis

In the field of occupational therapy a lot of writing is required from doctors and students becoming therapists. The question that constantly crossed my mind was why do they need to write? Before I began to research the writing styles and practices that took place in the field, I knew I needed to educate myself about Occupational therapy. I scheduled interviews with a licensed occupational therapist and a student studying to be one to help me understand what took place in their field of work as a student and as an experienced therapist. In addition to studying and reading magazines, medical journals, etc. to spread my understanding of occupational therapy. So, I could understand why they use certain types of writing styles and

Teachers, parents, and friends often tell students exactly what the writing process should entail and how long it should take. However, the older I get, the more I realize that the writing process varies not only from person to person, but also from one writing project to the next. Throughout my years of life, I have written countless papers, ranging from a persuasive speech to an extensive research paper, and each project requires an altered version of my personal writing process. While each individual has his own writing process, there can be many similarities between different writing processes. Finding one’s individual writing process takes trial, error, and repetition. When an individual finally uncovers his unique writing process, better thought, work, and writing is produced.

Cynthia Haven is the writer of an article called “The New Literacy: Stanford study finds richness and complexity in students' writing” that is a study based on the amount of writing college students do. She followed students at Stanford during their undergraduate years and the first year after that. She discovered that today’s students are writing more than any generation before it. Cynthia had the students she was studying submit all of the writing they did, academic or personal. She found that only 62 percent of the work submitted to her was for classes; the rest of the material was “Life writing”.

HSC 3550 is one of the most important upper division classes for the students of Health Science major. I learned a lot from this class like legal and ethical issues that come along with U.S health system. I was totally unaware of the many facts of our health system and now I have enough knowledge to talk about. I have started reading online news and blogs about our health system and its legal and ethical matters. Two-class presentation was very helpful as well, that helped me to master at least those two chapters for sure. Some of the instructions or I can say our prompts were very complicated and nuanced for our individual paper, it was hard to understand and no proper instructions were given from where to begin. Journals totally messed

Undergraduate programs in recent years have become more and more specialized and there is a lack of diversity in the writing styles taught in writing classes. This has led to students being less prepared to enter the workplace and less qualified than the people who know the writing style of the specific job.

“Talladega College, I have you by the reigns!” says Pauline Hunter. Although she is a first year student at Talladega College, Pauline is confident that she has the school figured out, for the most part. Owing to the fact that she came from a high school that demanded a great deal of time and an enormous amount of dedication, she’s accustomed to maintaining outstanding grades while still having a social life. Considering that she resides on campus, she has the benefit of exploring the buildings, having encounters with several professors, and meeting countless students. With the assistance of noteworthy grades, understanding professors, and self-disciplined friends, Pauline believes that she has the school

These hours with Jerry, waiting for a ride home, or the hour we took for lunch, proved to be my favorite time of day. After graduating from Sarah Lawrence College I was desperate to go back to school, I spent hours a day applying to graduate school (for two years in a row), I wrote personal statements and essays about my academic pursuits, I wrote about the importance of an academic community for personal growth without really realizing that I was already enrolled in Professor Jarrell Jackman’s seminar “Tips to live a successful and rewarding

Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing a great inspiration to me, my mother, Stephanie Sacks, about her experience in college. She went to Evergreen State College for her baccalaureate degree. She enjoyed the vast majority of the classes she took; “All of Evergreen was sort of an extracurricular.”, she said. The one she didn’t like was a biology class. “I absolutely hated that class.”, she remembered. The room was so warm, and the lectures so boring, that she fell asleep on multiple occasions. “Thank god I didn’t go to a regular college, because I would have absolutely hated it,” She chuckled. “I hated studying things I had no interest in.” Her favorite part of college was getting to pick which classes she took, which she said, “...was

I’m focusing on the type of professional writing that is used by physical therapists. Typically, physical therapists do daily writing, and weekly writing. There isn’t a ton of writing in this profession,

Whenever I first start a new class I look through the syllabus and pages of the book for the class to get an overall idea what will be the main emphasis/class. In SOCI 2001, it was a lot of what I expected yet the information about was more intense in regards to the history of how racial discrimination got started all over the world. Seeing that other nations were as bad to their own people as they were to immigrants astounded me. To read how countries cast their own people away like they meant nothing was a real eye opener.

In today’s society one would not be able to communicate effectively with the world if writing was not involved. People all around the world send emails, texts, and letter to numerous amounts of individuals each second. Talking on the phone is slowly becoming a thing of the past while the writing side of technology is taking over. The meaning of writing is changing in society. Writing used to be specifically for academics or the occasional letter to a loved one. As time has passed writing has taken more forms and more meanings. In the world we live in now writing is classified as texting, emailing, instant messaging, and even comments or tweets on social media. Although writing has these multiple new forms, it still holds its academic side strongly. Everything with meaning in turn affects a person’s day to day life. Writing has the effect of making one more intellectual. Writing has become a bridge between communication and the cultures and people of today’s society. It gives way for different options in stating sentences or phrases. (Olson). Each affect should change with age. As a person grows older, their writing styles should mature and take on a more professional aspect.

This reflection paper covered my experiences at Concordia College in Alabama in the eight weeks I have attended and it has been an eventful experience. I trust that my time at Concordia College in Alabama will groom me to become a productive member of society.

The type of document everyone writes is one of the most important parts of someone’s life. Every passing year of school and college one important thing to keep in mind is what career someone would want in the future. What job would someone love or hate to do? Every passing second you write documents that defines your personality and your future success. As everyone thinks of what career they want to pursue they should also think about what type of writing is included in that career. Every career has some kind of writing included it just depends what kind. Different career has different writing skills involve, styles of writing and the amount of writing involved. From kindergarten to high school to college everyone is required to write some kinds for paper or words. As we go to higher grade we are required to write more and more in every class in the school and in college everyone is required to write 10 -12 pages of essays to help improve in writing skills. College is one major stage that teaches everyone to write in new and different skills to practice for future job. As an IT major I am more likely to write code as my daily life. Also minoring in business I will be

We are excited to announce that this is our 10 year anniversary of the human and visis alliance. We look forward to a year of fun, and most importantly learning! With that we hope you have a great first day of school and welcome to Evans Institution!” Repeated the speakers around the campus courtyard. Students trickled in the gateways as the beginning of the school year drew near. New students were easily spotted, their obvious gawking and terrified faces set them apart quickly. The returning students on the other hand only dreaded the start of school, shuffling in tiredly. A petite girl walked through the gates, holding a sketchbook
