I really liked the presentation about sexuality in Cuba, Puerto Rico and The Dominican Republic. This gave me a better understanding on how people suffer when coming out and dealing with constant criticism in their country.
Overall I think are presentation was good the reason why I think that is. Are presentation was about the apollo missions one through eleven and what each objective was for each mission. Each mission was an important role for nasa because they learned many things like the mistakes they made and the new things they discovered throughout the missions. It's fascinating how much they were able to achieve in a short period of time.
But my storytelling wasn’t strong enough because I wouldn’t finish telling the story of each slide, 15 min wasn’t enough time for me. Other than that, I believe my presentation was interesting because by the look at the audience faces; they were all paying attention and manage to laugh at some parts that I presented. My narrative was quite easy to understand because I wouldn’t finish what I had to say for each slide for talking at a normal pace. I should have talked a bit faster than that.
Listening to Elizabeth Hilpipre’s talk about how she uses social media for the Nebraska Humane Society was great. Elizabeth was very knowledgeable and provided lots of good information on how she uses social media in a job setting. It was neat to see a real world example of how a company uses social media.
As the commentaries have said what improvements of the seminar, I think they missed a few points that I would like to add first would be multiple people started talking along with their academic transitions and were more comfortable along the way better giving their points on the topics. Also the fact that they brought hand gestures and better eye contact really help comply what they were trying to say.Surprisingly I never really saw or heard any lacking conversations between the discussants. As a coach during the seminar I would say everyone went above and beyond and everyone did a fruitful
To analyse the presentation and teamwork I need to be able to understand everyone has different experiences and different ways of working and had their own view on teamwork. My confidence grew as I got to know the team. Giving the presentation has helped me with my confidence, which I will need when I am working in the health care. I have also learned to speak up more and encourage others to take part when they where being quiet and not pulling their weight. It was good to do research using the appropriate methods, looking at journals and professional sites. I managed to hold it together during the presentation in front of everyone. I knew the presentation was not going to go as well has it could due to the lack of practice. The reason I was so nervous was
The classroom presentations really helped me put everything together. Preparing for the presentation allowed me to look back and examine all the previous lessons learned up until this past Thursday. Doing this gave me a good sense of gauging my current positon and to critique myself. I was able to figure out some of the things I did wrong, for example wasting time by trying to write about a broad topic. Although I am passionate about helping low-income children succeed, it did not provide me with a clear thesis due to its complexity. I am still thinking about applying for a Masters degree in Juvenile Justice, but for this class the data was overwhelming. With that said, I realized that there were some things that were done right. For example, I was able to move on to another topic, which not only interests me, but was not fully covered during my last 24 months of Organizational Leadership classes. I believe there is a need to understand how a leader’s emotions affect their ability to influence others. This past week allowed me to reflect and realized that I was on the right path because I find my topic interesting. Having to present my journey to the class and being able to listen to others will allow me to plan
What went well in all of the presented presentation; knowing the information, having an attentive audience, and presenting with confidence. Our first presentation was at the Red Apple adult center, we had props to help clarify the information. Information presented was descriptive to distinguish each section of the presentation. At the end of the presentation, we played a game called spine and show. The did very well by responding to all questions. When it all done and over, we received hugs and a lot of questions about stains on teeth. Another point that worked well during the
For the first presentation, I was partners with Maddi and we conducted a lifeboat simulation to demonstrate the discrimination people face based on diversity and primary judgement. I really enjoyed watching everyone in the group share their input. I also loved how people allowed others to speak up as this does not always happen during normal class time. It was cool to see how similar our class is to the other groups I have seen attempt this task. Asking how far along in the pregnancy the woman was happened near the beginning of the exercise as well as other things like putting women and children on the boat first. I was also proud that they thought about how helpful certain people would be if something were to happen. These specific individuals
I enjoyed this one because it related to almost every aspect of life. All we have to do is walk on the street for a few minutes and stereotypes have already been used to judge us. They affect daily lives of many people and the social well-being of others. I especially enjoyed this because I, of many, face one of the worst stereotypes out there- Muslims are terrorists. Although this stereotype is absolutely false it still affects my life today and my future if this stereotype will still be around. I absolutely loved how this seminar had us all face the truth of what society is doing to our minds and many other people’s minds. As well as the reality of it, this was the seminar I saw significant growth in our seminaring abilities. As I recall, our first seminar was an interesting topic, high school reform, but many people had not done the research needed to keep the conversation going. As for this seminar, research was there and we had a great
I had to present as Dolores Huerta, an advocate for equality. These are the kinds of people we should all be striving to befriend. These are the kinds of people who we can hope will influence us to be better people. I learned the labels society executes on each and every one of us have nothing to do with who we are as people; that is, you can either be a kind and compassionate person like Dolores Huerta or a heartless jerk like Adolf Hitler, despite
I believe our continued knowledge and advanced degrees in nursing will bring more empowerment to our profession impacting patient care in a positive way. As a nurse there is nothing more important to me than providing excellent care to my patients. Being taught about all the speciality areas in nursing available with advanced degrees is important for our professional growth and continued public education. Learning more about the nursing theories and models of Watson, Benner and Rogers that were introduced to us in Professional Role Development I were of great value. It was most interesting to learn of all the other nursing theorist from Florence Nightingale to the more current theorist and the differences in totality paradigm and simultaneity paradigm. I really enjoyed researching Virginia Henderson and presenting her need oriented theory to the class and enjoyed hearing the presentations of my classmates on their nursing theorist. The critical thinking assignment on researching a bill relating to healthcare and how a bill becomes a law was fascinating. Finding out the position of the New Jersey Nurses
I thought the first speech “Gut explosion and funnel cakes,” by Amanda Erck was executed with real class. I particularly like how she used an embarrassing story and turned it around into a positive. I thought she built up ethos perfectly by explaining her disease. She really drew me in explaining what Celiac Disease was and what kinds thing she can and cannot eat. Amanda was able to stress big points by using humor. The line that stuck out to me, in particular, was when she started talking about carnival food. She said that a “small crumb of a crouton would make her insides like the worst part of a Hurr-a-whurl ride.” I thought that was a great use of figurative language, giving the audience a clear visual.
The education presentation was very organized and informative. One thing that stood out to me was the talk on standardized test. The research and studies on standardized test seemed very accurate. The researchers pointed out how these standardized tests aren’t really measuring individual’s knowledge, and it’s just based on memorization. Everyone has his or her own way of learning whether it hands on or visual. And a lot of different people are just not good test takers. I personally experienced lots of problems with test taking. I was denied into USCB’s nursing program, because I didn’t meet the requirements on the standardized test. Even though my GPA was a 3.7 the only thing that mattered was the test score, because the department informed
First of all, to be put in a group of individuals that I had never met or interacted with before was always going to be difficult. The process of getting to know them better and finding the strengths and weaknesses of each team member was hard at first but the more we worked on the presentation, the better we became at communicating and getting the
