Individual Reflection Assignment

I tottally agree with the policy as it relates to the offender, i maintain my innocence in this and had I been the one who left the chewing tobacco in my room I could see where i would be wrong. But as it was my ex-roomates (who got kicked out of housing for tobacco use and alcohol) i can see the effects that tobacco has and also see the downward spiral that it spent him in. Once again i reitterate that if it was mine, the policy is more than

In spring 2014, I volunteered to run the Each One Teach One program. As the editor, I had to lead discussions and facilitate exchange of essays. Although every participant in the program was African American, I had recently immigrated to the United States and had a strong accent. Initially, a majority of the group were not committed to the program and I tried to connect to get them to engage fully, but my background seemed to set me apart from the other students. One of the first things I learned was that it was okay to be different from the others and appropriating their culture made it harder to get across to them. Connecting with them worked best when I was patient and willing to listen. With time, I realized that although we had different

The “rod of correction” principle relies on a leader’s personal perspective and convictions about handling responsibilities. If a leader uses an abundance of disciplinary sanctions (Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2016), he or she may lose the goodwill of his or her people (Lehman & Pentak, 2004) – as a result of too much use or incorrectly using the “ rod”. A leader will lose the staff’s respect if he or she fails to address or handle an error inappropriately too little use of a rod or not at all (Lehman & Pentak, 2004). If too much “politics “ are involved, then it is identifiable to see behavior that would coerce others to support issues rather than being persuasive to others – this is so against the principle behind “the staff of

The aim of this reflective essay is to evaluate my professional development whilst undertaking the role of the Developing Intra-Operative Practitioner/ Advanced Scrub Practitioner (ASP). Using a reflective model I want to see how my new role affects me as an Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) and any legal implications it has for me as an employee.

Everyone is likely to experience some form of discrimination or prejudice; as is anyone capable of acting prejudiced towards others. On April 5th, 1968, a teacher in Riceville, Iowa named Jane Elliot conducted an experiment with her third grade class that dealt with the concept of discrimination; and was documented in Peters’ 1985 ‘A Class Divided’. The exercise originally took place the day after Martin Luther King was assassinated. The documentary is an eye opener to the world of racism and discrimination. Bucher (2010) describes racism as “discrimination based on the belief that one race is superior to another” (97). According to Bucher (2010) “discrimination is defined as the

The submitted final lesson plan for Session 5 contained many of the key elements of the best practices for developing effective online learning. Nonetheless, the development of the lesson plan integrated the learning discoveries based on the idea of applying it to a blended American Sign Language course. The lesson plan utilized the implementation of newly adopted Signing Naturally (Smith, Lentz, & Mikos, 2008) course curriculum, which I integrated into my proposed blended ASL 101 course. Using the knowledge of the importance of consistency, communication, and community the plan demonstrates a variety of online tools found within the Blackboard LMS that supports these three components for an efficient and effective online blended course. From

Prior to reading the text, I thought informing someone of how I felt about an infraction was a means to let him or her know I did not like what he or she did, not as a means for changing a pattern or behavior because he or she needed to be held accountable. However, after reading the text, I realized that I have a lot more responsibility and influence when having an accountability conversation. It never occurred to me that the reason for a failed outcome could be the way I approached and confronted someone. Probably the most profound lesson I learned was that I should be putting myself in the other person’s position to understand their perspective. I am guilty of jumping

How do your critical factors align with the roles that were portrayed by your IPPE-3 Clinical Instructors throughout the past two weeks? What specific activities did you engage in during IPPE-3 that capitalized upon your critical factors?

Our current policies that we have now need to be improved so for those that serve can have mental health care when they need to seek out for it, have no fear that it would affect them professionally, and are assured that they can seek this treatment privately. Now, with tobacco use even as the Department of Defense (DOD) attempts to restrict tobacco use, regardless the use of those tobacco products still remains at its high state (Murray, 2012, p. 180). Service members have to stay in healthy condition within and without, but with the tobacco issue that really damages their health to the point where it can cause difficulties serving or

The current Coast Guard Enlisted Employee Review (EER) and future Enlisted Evaluation System (EES) does not have accountability to members that use tobacco products. The Surgeon General of the United States has determined that tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable illness, disability, and death in the United States, ref (a). The Coast Guard Health Promotion Manual states, “Tobacco products generate physiological changes and cause significant health risks.” In 2015 about 15 of every 100 U.S. adults aged 18 years or older (15.1%) smoked cigarettes, according the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC). Consequently, 15 percent of our workforce is involved with a know substance that is detrimental to their health, yet the

Entering college for the first time was nerve wracking for me. I knew I would be challenged academically at a new level, and didn’t know how to prepare for college courses to come. However, Writing 1310 and 1320 have greatly improved my writing skills. I’m more confident in my writing and have even used these skills in my other courses such as history and film and literature. Along the course of 1320, there were 3 writing assignments including an informative paper, an annotated bibliography with abstract, and an argument paper. The assignment that I was the most concerned about was the final assignment, the argument paper. We were to use the information in the preceding assignment, the annotated bibliography along with the abstract, and create a 1500 word argumentative essay in regards to an issue in our field of study. I’m currently

Paragraph 17 prohibits smoking on campus and in University owned vehicles. Paragraph 18 appears to be written to prohibit smoking in uniform, however it allows for smoking in designated areas. DPS policy does not define what those designated areas are, so we are left to defer to University policy (included in this case file). University policy does not designate areas for smoking, it only prohibits smoking “on any University property”. University policy defines property as:
