My Experience With A Graduate Student

There was such a variety of topics covered in this course and I wish that I had taken it in a classroom instead of online. With this online course, I feel like the material went a little too quickly. If I were in a classroom setting, I feel that

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?

Gerard Egan’s 3 Stage Skilled Helper Mode 1994, provides a basic guideline on how helping relationships should be carried out. It is important that helpers take into consideration the steps provided in the Egan’s mode as it provides structure and positive support to clients.

I also now know that I need additional time to devote to this class. Where in other classes, I do not seem to struggle on assignments and clarification. I am a hands-on learner, so with on-line courses it is sometimes difficult to understand what is expected of the assignment, having the rubric helps though.

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

Reflect on what you have learned in this course and discuss how it might influence your work as a professional

This course level was for sure harder than most of my other classes. I think I found it harder because if I had a question about something I could not just go and ask Rachel, I had to send and email and then wait for her to reply. I would say that this class is definitely harder because I had never taken any Psychology before so I did not

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.

A little background information about this course, your calculator is your best friend so don't lose it. This is a calculator-oriented course and it drastically cuts computation time. In the AP exam, you are allowed to utilize the calculator for the entire test. As for the workload, it isn't overwhelming and manageable. Regardless, always be on top of your work. If you put the effort and time for the recommended class, you'll receive a grade that reflects

Upon beginning this course I had both a reaction of anxiety as well as gradtification. When it comes to learning anything new no matter what it is I always seem to question myself if I am discipline enough to take on the challenge. I made a physical checklist to help me mentally prepare for making sure that I was setting myself up for success. Without knowing what to fully expect I made sure to allivate possible destrictions like going to a quite place in my home, re-reading the material for clarity, and making sure to proofread material before I submit. After enrolling also felt a form of gradtification. Graditificantion in a way in knowing I was taking anothr step closer to achieving my

To be successful, you must be able to get a point across quickly and you must be able to do so in a way that you sound credible to your audience. This course fits in with my career goals because as a civil engineer designing bridges, I will have to communicate on a daily basis with my fellow employees, employers and clients. I have seen this in my internship with a civil engineering consulting firm, where the employees are constantly communicating with one another and their clients every

Though there is only one semester for each course, but I feel like as if I have learned quite enough for this class. for instance, portfolio is the last assignment for this class and if we look carefully inside the portfolio; we can find three major assignments that we did this semester such as summary writing, rhetorical analysis, and trend research paper. Summary writing was sort of revision for me as I have already learned it from middle school but rhetorical analysis and the other one was new for me. I enjoyed learning about logos, ethos, and pathos which sounds like sort of high level study. Going through the third paper was challenging because there should not be a place for own opinion and all we must do is, dig the truth and prove it

I must admit that I have always looked at this type of course as being a complete waste of time. After taking the Learning Connections Inventory, I've discovered that I'm a Dynamic Learner according to the results of the questionnaire. It's totally shed some light on the how, what, when and why of my success and failures in my educational as well as personal and professional life.

Within this assignment I will explore the ways in which I relate to others. I will identify any barriers or difficulties which could affect my ability to relate to others and therefore have an adverse effect on my role as a helper. Egan (1994) states that to be a fully developed helper, a key component is self awareness. He also suggests that there can be a “shadow side” to helping, which can adversely affect the outcome of the helping process.

While registering for the semester I noticed this course and thought it would be very beneficial for both my personal and professional lives. I felt I was in need of learning new techniques and regimes to reduce stress, increase productivity, and learn to efficiently and effectively relax in order to improve my communication. I mean who wouldn’t want to learn how to relax and receive credit hours at the same time. With that being said I immediately signed up, and for once I was excited opposed to being nervous of the unexpected like I was for previous courses I have taken. Another perk to this class was seeing that Professor Mantel was the instructor. I had taken one of her workshop previously (Humor in Communication), and not only did I learn several beneficial ways to communicate through humor, but the workshop was very interesting and entertaining.
