I really enjoyed the last night of presentations. I really learned a lot of what the business world is like. I find this very ironic considering that I am married to a guy who has worked at Transamerica as a senior analysist for derivatives. He has always talked about it a little here and there, but I never got quite the look into it as I did from take the class with a lot of business people. I have always been a little bitter about these team building things that he does. They go bowling, they go to the lake and out to bars. Everything they do involves some form of alcohol. I thought it was a pointless waste of time to hang out with his work friends. Now from taking this class I understand how important team building is. I understand why it is vital to the success of his team. I only wish that we had something more similar at my place of employment. I do not get paid to drink at work, in fact it is pretty frowned upon!
I thought the presentation that involved a lot of the books we read were kind of repetitive. I would not have been able to write a 12 page paper on something I have already read about. I did enjoy the education, the conflict management aspects to the presentation. I hope the nursing aspect was not completely boring to the business people. I enjoyed Jen talking about nurse residency programs. They are the up and coming thing now, and because I have been a nurse for a while I do not have any participation with them. I just hear other nurses
Sandra Gyle came in to speak with us about the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and their pursuit of ethics. The BBB was founded in the 1930’s and has been a reliable source ever since. It was very interesting because I had never really heard about what they do exactly and the services they provide. They rate businesses, employers, and even landlords on how ethical they are and you can look them up and see if they are accredited through BBB, the best part is all of the services they provide and completely free as well. We also discussed how ethics had many gray areas and in the end, being ethical means always attempting to do the right thing. We watched a video about an auto mechanic shop and talked about if the actors in the video were making
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.
Dickinson’s presentation, was his pace at which he gave information. He did a great job not rushing through information, but at the same time he did not drag any slides on, it was a great speed for listening and taking notes. I also liked how knowledgeable Mr. Dickinson seemed to be about his topic. He never stumbled trying to find answers, he was calm the entire time and seemed like he understood his topic well. One thing that stood out to me that could need some improving is the order in which the slides were presented. I would’ve liked if instead of combining work setting and impact of care, if work setting and role of the Pharmacist would’ve been combined instead. This would’ve helped to understand what the Pharmacist does before how it impacts the patient. By doing this, another advantage is the splitting up of the slides with roles of the Pharmacist and the Pharmacist's responsibilities. With these two topics together into one slide, it made it a little difficult to understand which of the two you were referencing when giving points. Other than the order of the slides, the presentation was great. I enjoyed listening and learning to all the solid information that was given throughout and in summary Mr. Dickinson did a great job on this
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
There were a few presentations I found interesting and learned something new. From Oakley’s presentation, I learned more about Emaze. I used Emaze for my presentation and did not really learn
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
The seminar was successful because the kids were then able to properly show me how to wash their hands. The seminar also proved to be very effective as the kids were more aware of the millions of germs or “cooties” all around them. The kids had fun and teaching them how to increase their chance of remaining, as a Registered Nurse was more then worth it.
Process: I think group one was well organized and spoke extremely well. I enjoyed their presentation. I liked the presentation overview in the beginning that explained what we would be introduced to and who would be speaking, this was a great organizational touch! I loved the first overview video the group showed. It explained the syndrome wonderfully and was interesting to watch. I like how Tatum pointed to the chromosome picture and explained the crossover. However, I think she should have turned the other way so her voice would have projected to the entire class. She also did a great job with the pronunciation of all of her names and terms. I like that she took the time to perfect this detail. I also liked how she bolded the “main” points of her slides. It was a great way to make those points salient. Karlee also spoke well and I liked how she defined affinity and circumlocataion. I did not like how she was the only one wearing jeans. She looked great, but I think she should have worn dress pants to match the rest of her group. Sydney did well, however, I think her portion was too brief. For example, I think she should have given examples over the different
