Jeopardy Power Points: A Class Analysis

This course has been an eye opening and thought provoking experience for me. I completely underestimated this course when I first enrolled. Reading the description I thought it would be a simple class on business ethics, focusing on the ways to do things in a professional manner. I could not have been more wrong. When I go to any type of training I ask myself what I took away from the experience. Before I get into the actual course and what I enjoyed about that, I first must say they the instructor staff was by far the most impressive. Like many of my fellow classmates I am a working adult with children one of the biggest fears I have about a web based course is that the flow of instruction is going to be difficult

Reading over the outcomes and objectives, how will the skills developed in this class apply to your chosen career or field of study? If you are “undecided,” how will these skills help you in your future in college and in general?

Prior to attending this class, I thought that it was going to be a very boring one with long frustrating lectures. I was surprised at how much I was enjoying this class because it had to do with an area I have interest, which is, working in the community. Some of the challenges I encountered in this class was conducting a needs assessment, identifying advocacy article, and the elevator pitch. I can say honestly say that I learned how to conduct an actual needs assessment, although when I was doing my paper I did not quite grasp it at the time. It was not until the presentations I understood how it is done based on the information presented and the comments and explanation given by the professor. It was very important that I learned how to conduct the needs assessment, because my interest is working with low income individuals in different communities. Now that learned how to conduct a needs assessment I am excited to go out and gain some practical knowledge with a team. The lecture and the advocacy piece assignment helped me to understand what advocacy is all about; I now able to write, research and recognize and any advocacy document. The elevator pitch was novel to me and I had a hard time understanding how someone can give all that information in a minute. After the different scenarios that were role played during the presentations I got knowledge on how it is done. I also

I liked everything about this course. The seminars, study plans, and the weekly discussions help

Before taking this course I was really excited about what I am going to learn. And I was right! This course is not only interesting but it is also helpful. I have learned that the grade I am having right now is the reflection of my try throughout the entire semester.

The most valuable thing that I have learned from this class is about survival for the next 5 or 10 years. Because I want to earn great value of staying in the job longer that being terminated or laid off. I have been praying to God dues to my ages that I have come a long way to find better resources and material to help me achieve better mentoring attitudes, behavior and

I would have to say that the biggest takeaway from this class, was how I learned how to improve my time management. I have to admit that I'm still not the best at handling time, but I'm better then then when I started this class. This class has also helped me not just in the classroom, but in the workforce also. I

While this class might not have been what I expected, I was able to complete the objectives of this course which included teaching fundamentals of being a college student and learning about myself through my uniqueness and my value and how I can apply that to be a successful student. According to the syllabus, “This class requires students to remain to true to themselves engaging in dialogue and debate about matters that are contemporary and important.” (Crowell 1) I was able to learn about different resources and techniques that will help me while I am a student at Auburn University and in my future career such as learning how to write a proper email, managing my time, interacting with those around me and how to think about things a step further.

Think about your repetitive day-to-day tasks such as emails you have to answer or preparing a meal for yourself and/or loved ones day in-and-day-out. By the end of this course you would have freed yourself from neededing to do a great deal of these tasks yourself. You will make a list of these day-to-day tasks and have either but them on auto-mode (such as emails) or got someones else to do them for you (such as meal prep).

Other classes that I have taken at the University of Phoenix that I believe has helped me with my professional career is the class of critical thinking and communication skills for career growth. I am currently working for Blue Cross Blue Shield, and I handle large employee group’s customer service. Every day I am working with the employee’s and provider that have rendered service to these employee’s. Knowing how to communicate and take control of the conversation is a key element in being successful. These employee’s usually on a war path when they call due to claims being denied. Having the skills to communicate and claim them down is the way to have the call end successful.

The last thing I learned in this class was checking your e-mail frequently. This was the case when I was not dressed for the professional development day. If only I would have checked my e-mail the night before, I wouldn’t have miss information so critical to dress attire. The lessons that this class has taught have been very thorough. With so much going on in this semester, being able to find a balance was very important to me. Utilizing every resource that you can. Learning to accept that disappointment comes from not properly preparing & that your fate is really in your

When I first heard about this class, I was an open major at the time, and was looking into Public Health, specifically community and behavior heath, or Health and Human Physiology. I’ve always been interested in health and in all the health classes I’ve taken in the past. I was into all the health problems that some family members of mine have and I wanted to know how to help them, through prevention, or just simply informing them about certain disorders and diseases. I took a class last semester, called Health for Living, and it was an interesting class and opened my eyes more to health issues and how most of them are preventable. That class didn’t help me enough to decide so, I hoped that taking this class might help me a bit more. Last spring when I saw that Fundamentals of Public Health was a course I could take, I signed up right away. I always knew I wanted to help people when I was older, but didn’t know how I was going to do that. I was hoping that if I signed up for this health class, maybe it would give me more insight on some careers in the public health field.

This class has helped me understand so much more about myself and how I function on a daily basis. It opened my eyes to information I may have never known. The one things I enjoyed most about this class was learning about brain development and how each structure of the brain has its own function to how feel, move and think. It was very interesting to know that our brains are not fully developed until the age of twenty-five. The brain is the control center for how we survive and how we live our live.

Looking back on the course, GEB3213 – Advanced Communication in Business, I have learned and implemented how to work in a team scenario as well as improved my individual writing skills. I believe that my biggest lesson learned was writing my resume. My current resume was one that I have been using for quite a while so it was very mediocre. By improving my resume based off of what I learned in this class, it now sounds more professional and clear. My favorite assignment throughout this course was the Industry Profile Report. I want to specialize in long-term care, so to dig deeper into a company that specializes in the elderly or needy adults was very intriguing.
