Mspa Reflection

Then I read the chapter again, but this time I have made picture in my mind of the pages and I try to anticipate the terms and the concepts and my own examples for each concept before I read them. If I miss any, I jot them down again. Sometimes, I read the book backwards, sub-heading to sub-heading until I can see pretty much the whole

--Answer below: My first step would be of course to process the information and figure out what approach to take to retain as much as possible in my memory. I’m not good reading directions follower but I remember much better by repetition, through memory consolidation. Sometimes I will read article several times, loud, pretending that I’m a TV presenter and that visual of myself speaking, even gestures that I might make will stay in my memory and I will be able to repeat something I read almost 100%. This takes time so I learned new techniques in memorizing information.

I feel that the tools listed in the article “Read Like a Graduate Student, not a Mystery Fan” are going to help me immensely as I continue my course of education. The first chapter I read, for another course that I am currently enrolled in, I read from front to back like I would normally read a chapter for enjoyment. Upon completing the reading assignment, I felt like I had retained very little information. After reading the first discussion questions required for the course, I had to re-read portions of the first chapter in order to address the topics from discussion questions. I did not read the chapter from front to back but read the introduction, then the summary and finally the content. The second reading,

“How to Mark A Book” by Mortimer J. Adler emphasizes on the significance of note taking while reading. The thesis for this source was stated directly. For example Adler said “I want to persuade you to "write between the lines." Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.” What distinguish readers from each other are their effort to understand the meaning of each line, paragraph and page. Adler talks about having a book and owning a book. Unless you have the whole book annotated from front to back, you don’t own the book. Adler described 7 ways you could note take while reading. Some of them include underlining words, star or asterisk, write in margins, circle of highlight phrases and numbering the pages. After reading this source I felt really strong about the why you should annotate and read. It is your way of interpreting the text and understanding it. This source reminded me of my high school professor explaining to me why it was important to annotate. Back then I never took it as a big deal and kept reading rapidly without comprehending. On the contrary, Adler’s “How to Mark A Book” inspired me to start taking notes while

A Transactional Reader Response is described by Lois Tyson as the “[f]eelings, associations, and memories occur as we read, and those responses influence the way in which we make sense of the text as we move through it” (173). My past experiences made me able to relate to

I hope you are doing well, and I hear the new practice is starting very well. I don't know if you remember me, I am a former student of yours from your last exercise science class at Ohio State. I am graduating in December with my BS in HPNES, and was curious about the opportunities at UAPPC. I have looked through the website and talked with Emily Martini about the work you and your wife are doing. It seems very innovative and promising. I'm you have the same enthusiasm for your practice as you had for teaching. I know you mentioned in your last class that you were looking for students after graduation to help out with this practice. If you have any current or future opportunities that are or will be available I am eager to discuss them with

Apollo Career Center partnership with MRC in 2016 through 2017 has been excellent. Apollo works with Brandon Fisher from allen county health department here in lima ohio. Brandon has helped us and MRC us and MRC grow and continue growing with us seniors involved. He has given us his own study material for FEMA test allowing us to participate as patients in lima memorial hospital evacuation drill. These opportunity giving us students insight of how things work and how things are ran and how much planning and preparing it takes.words can't express our thanks it is something we will remember long after this competition.

1. What strategies do I use before I read or view a text? How do they help me understand the text?

Although, during class, we reviewed it so it was much clearer when we read the story. For my annotations I read the bulleted summary and wrote down questions. Then I went through once and highlighted words that I did not know. Afterwards I went back through with different colors and annotated for thematic topics, epic digression, and figurative language. Then at the very end, I divided the chapter based on the bulleted summary at the beginning. I did have to annotate in seventh and eighth grade, but we did not have to think critically. It was a lot easier to annotate back then because our teacher just looked and how many annotations we had and if the pages were colorful. I have gotten better at annotating things that are important, and not just making the pages look like a rainbow. I still, however, need to think more critically when I explain themes and epic conventions. As I was reading the book, it sometimes got boring and it was intense for me to have to annotate for long periods, so I took breaks in between. It was also somewhat difficult for me to annotate because I did not know what things to look for. I asked friends about scenes in the book and what they thought of it or if it had a deeper meaning. Sometimes, I Googled things such as definitions and an analysis of each book so I can understand the story better. It was very helpful because it pointed things out that I did not catch and made

One of the comprehension strategies that I noticed from Mr. Robertson was the use of modeling fluent reading. He as well used modeling when he showed his students how to use a graphic organizer to build upon the thinking happening in their notes. Another strategy that he used was whole group instruction, however, he used think, pair and share with his students when he gave them time to discuss what was happening within the story and build off of their own experiences and prior knowledge.

I have chosen active reading as a skill to build on because although I read certain pieces of work as though I was reading a story to a child in order to retain the information better I have never thought of re-reading the work to work through the potential interpretation variations. I find that this skill would be particularly beneficial when you are struggling

The College Reading Tips handout suggested that someone should skim what they’re reading before actually reading it thoroughly. I found that this piece of advice was very helpful to me and allowed me to understand readings much more easily. Therefore, I began to regularly skim texts before reading them thoroughly. The College Reading Tips handout also suggested annotation of texts, and I therefore regularly began to annotate texts I read: highlighting parts I found notable or wanted to remember, writing questions and comments about the text in the margins, and circling vocabulary words to lookup later, then adding in the vocabulary words’ definitions. Taking these actions caused me to understand texts I read better, and furthermore, beyond understanding them, be able to better analyze texts.

The first thing I did every chapter was to pre-read through the chapter in its entirety and highlight words I did not know. I would later go back and look up the words highlighted and write down the definitions next to it. After I was done highlighting for diction, I

The VSP, essential role within their agency is serving residents of the District of Columbia who have been victims of domestic violence, sexual offenses, traffic or alcohol related crimes, or property crimes. The VSP overall goal is to be committed to responding to victims of crime with compassion, respect, and understanding. Over the few months that I have interned with the VSP I had the ability to tackle tasks that I assumed would be above my criteria or potential, but I mastered each duty that was given to me. During my time there I observed and learn they way VSP works with Community Supervision Officers (CSOs) to decrease the incidence of recidivism and re-victimization and partners with victim service agencies to identify crime victims,

From what I understand, the entire PA program seems like it’s going to be a formidable challenge. The didactic portion looks to be fast-paced and intensive and the clinical portion is sure to test my knowledge of all previous material on a daily basis. However, I am driven and studious and confident in my abilities to handle an intense academic load. Personally, the part of the program that seems most daunting is the final research paper and subsequent presentation. Writing was never my favorite subject or my strongest suit. Furthermore, the idea of public speaking, especially in front of an audience meant to analyze and grade everything I say, fills me with dread. I find presentations to be very stressful, and while I handle stress well, that
