Final Reflection

A condition of my admission to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was the completion of my senior year courses. I admit that my grade in Math Techniques was an F. This fact is not what I wish to explain, as there is no way for me to skirt the fact that I received a failing grade in this class.

Amboise 2the opportunity of achieving such an extensive (and highly expensive) endeavor. Why shouldn’tthey feel any other way? College has given students multiple cases of diagnoses of anxiety anddepression in its highest rates within the last 10 years. More than eleven percent of collegestudents have been diagnosed or treated for anxiety in the past year and more than ten percentreported being diagnosed or treated

I have learned so many things out of this class that would be very useful to me in the future. Also, I don’t think that if I truly want to write about all the things I have learned from this class it would all fill a 2 pages paper. However, the three main things that I have retained from this include how to write a response paper, how to read a book better, and how to better write essays.

As a new student coming into this class we might have wondered what interpersonal communication was. However, I believe by now we all have a better understanding of what it means to communicate amongst ourselves. We all, or at least most of us were strangers at the start of class. However, through exercises and discussions we have become open with each other and learned a little along the way. Something as simple as our shared interests such as superhero movies or Star Wars trivia has opened up discussions we might not have had otherwise as a group. Our perceptions of each other have changed since that first awkward day playing a cheesy board game (Alder, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, 2013, p. 106-139). As we practiced our communication skills many of us have developed a stronger self-concept as well as boosted our self-esteems (Alder, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, 2013, p. 66-67). We also used social comparisons in our class intended or not (Alder, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, 2013, p. 69). We compared our backgrounds, both cultural, ethnic, as well as socio economic standing. Some of these comparisons come from what we learned as children to believe, while others are from what we have learned in life. This is what has intrigued me the most in class. The facts that we as a “civilized” world still have not come that far at all. Women are still for the most part second-class citizens, hate is taught to our children, and language still hasn’t evolved to where there are no

After completing clinical simulation laboratory session 5: surgical scrub, I found that entire process of surgical scrub is way too complicated and time consuming: the entire process took me 5 minutes to complete and one wrong move could result in restarting whole process. My tutor emphasized the importance of surgical asepsis and its role in preventing infection but surgical scrub seemed torturous and waste of time to me. Still not fully convinced, I decided to do some research to find out the importance of proper surgical scrub.

At the time when i was attending HCC I was suffering from anxiety and I would have minor attacks very often due to stress of a big essay or an exam. Furthermore the anxiety would take my mind off of studying or perpareing for a test. Additionally i would go to campus to take a exam and do terribly because I could not focus on the exam do to anxiety. Furthermore I would like to say that have now stop getting anxiety attacks I have learned to control them and get to focus on school as you can see since I have been at SPC i have yet to fail a class and my lowest grade as also been a

I'm a final semester Computer Science student at the University of Wollongong, Australia - specialising in Systems Security and Software Engineering. I do have a passion for user interface design, something I look at in my past time. I generally prefer design that is simple and minimal, after all good design should recedes to the backgrond, allowing for the content to take centerstage.

Buddhism has been relevant to my life throughout my own cultural experiences and knowledge that I received from the Buddhist Ethics course taught by Dr. Geoffrey Barstow. The ideas and practices of Buddhism were not limited to my past knowledge and continuously expanded as I went over the introduction level of the course. The study of Buddhism opened to me various aspects that were beyond what I had known. The most standing out topic seemed to change my perspective in Buddhism was karma. The concept of karma is not simply to determine every single action that I have done in my lifetime but it also makes me think critically what is right or wrong in many situations when I make an action or behavior to other people around

For most people, anxiety is something that occurs occasionally throughout their lives such as, right before a big meeting, presentation, tests, or a simple medical procedure. Other people are facing challenges daily due to anxiety; some are diagnosed while others are not. Anxiety includes, “distressingly unpleasant and maladaptive feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and physical reactions. Students with anxiety often worry about their competence, even when they are not being evaluated” (Durwin, 467). These struggles affect the performance of adults in their everyday lives and more specifically; a child’s performance in academics. It is the role as an educator, to aid students with anxiety and other disorders with coping with these

Not attending college has always been my biggest regret in life. Believing that you are never too old to learn new things, here I am at Middlesex Community College putting my biggest regret in my rear-view mirror. I have selected each of my previous 12 classes with much contemplation, with the exception of this class as it was presented to me as a must attend to graduate situation. I approach things with an open mind and these past three days were no exception. IDS-101 may be an accelerated, short and sweet class, yet I found it brimming with life lessons that people, regardless of age, gender, background or choice of majors would greatly benefit from.

During week one, my initial definition of learning was listening to an instruction, studying and then rehearsing that information in my mind, or categorizing it in a way so I could remember most of what was taught in the course. The class has opened a new dimension for me in the learning process; from understanding how I process information to deciphering which learning processes I use in intentional learning or metacognition. Understanding my learning patterns form dynamic learning relationship is a key element to my view of how and why I process the learning experience, even relating it to every day life.

I have always felt an overwhelming sense of worry in trivial situations- more so since entering high school- but it wasn’t until my freshman year that I began to realize that this sense of worry was not commonplace among my peers, ultimately driving me to do further research and discover that this sense of worry was indicative of anxiety. Throughout high school, my concern over my grades and my GPA led to an intense amount of test anxiety, consuming my thoughts and oftentimes causing me to dread coming to school. I have been working on lessening this test anxiety throughout my senior year this year, reminding myself that tests do not define one’s worth or intelligence, and I have noticed an overall increase in my mood and a decrease in my stress

Generalized anxiety is a problem that the United States faces nationwide. As we grow older and move into educational settings that are more taxing, anxiety becomes more prevalent. Today, college students are facing more stress than ever before. They are constantly pushed to be the best they can be, to be in the most extracurricular activities they can be in, and to attend the best schools possible. All of these goals and high expectations lead students to be harder on themselves, which makes other aspects of their life fall by the wayside, leading to high levels of stress and pressure.

As most of us know, college can be stressful. People deal with anxiety in all different aspects of life but most students have a hard time having to go to college. Students can easily get anxious trying to juggle school, work, friends, and family while trying to figure out the rest of your life. A majority of students can bounce back, but intense, uncontrollable and frequent feelings of anxiety that effect your daily routines may be a sign of an anxiety disorder that’s developed over time of dealing with so much stress. The causes? The stress of schoolwork, relationships, and finances. The more we think about everything we have to do, the more you feel like you’re paralyzed. Anxiety has now surpassed depression as the most common mental health

The participant in this study is pursuing a Masters degree while working as a teacher. She identified Generalized Anxiety Disorder as the issue she would like to improve upon after self-administering the Beck Anxiety Inventory and completing the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) at her general practitioner?s office. Both questionnaires indicated moderate anxiety symptoms. The participant identified that the requirements of the program resulted in increased stress and anxiety symptoms.
