My Experience With My Learning

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

I think the course is very informative and practical. I enjoy your input given trough our weekly meetings and the ideas and opinions that are posted from other teachers in the discussion section. My only concern is the amount of reading assignments that we need to have done every week. It might be that I need to organize my self better. Overall I am enjoying the class. Thank you for the kindness and flexibility that you offer us in case of emergencies or difficult situations.

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.

In this class the thing I liked the most was the jeopardy power points. Using the power points made it more fun to learn because it was interactive and I could use rewards when a jeopardy question was answered right. The thing that I liked the least was how under course materials it is setup as weeks because I lose track of what week it was very fast. I can apply what I have learned in this class in my personal life by being careful and thinking about what the food that i put into my body can due along with what could happen if I have too much or too little vitamins in my body. I can not think of a way to apply the knowledge I learned to the career I want in Human Resources besides thinking about applying the knowledge to pack a healthy lunch

Taking this class has taught me a lot about myself as a learner. At the beginning of this course I defined learning as how one takes in information in their surroundings and applies it to their life. While I do still believe that is a part of the learning process, I now know how to properly use my strong suits and weaknesses to get the best results from the information presented to me. With the information I have acquired throughout this course, I would also include applying critical thinking and reading skills to better decipher the information gained to my definition of learning. Knowing how to interpret the information given to you is a huge part of learning.

We constantly learn through our experiences during our lives. As we begin to grow and develop, we find that the majority of our learning occurs outside of the classroom. When we take the time to analyze our situations, we discover what we are gaining from our experiences. However, the vital thing is to inquire what kind of learner you are. Once you determine how you learn best, you are able to fully enhance your experiences as a learner. As I have developed and grown over the years, I have discovered what kind of a learner I am, and how I can use this knowledge to enhance my learning environments. Over time, I have used my previous knowledge of learning styles to analyze and grasp how my experiences have helped me grow as an individual. Throughout my life, I have applied my learning to become a capable leader, an exceptional communicator, and have learned that quitting is not always a negative.

Personally, I’ve always been someone who had be interested in things such as politics, the government, economics and so on so I really didn’t know if their was much more to learn, but I was sure as hell wrong throughout this whole course I was able to learn things that I never would’ve learned during my own time, which I usually dedicate a lot of time to my own private readings. So, the thing that I feel I was most interesting to learn about was that most mutual funds don’t even go ahead and beat the market, even with them charging high fees to have to go ahead and pay these so called “experts” to pick stocks for them. I had always been under the impression that most mutual funds had always made money, and usually had even be able to beat the markets out and had even thought of investing in one at a point in time during my life. When I had learned the fact that 80-90 percent of mutual funds don’t even beat the overall market, it’s really a disgusting thing to learn that these people then go around and charge commissions as high as 2 percent on most normal funds. What’s even nicer to hear (sarcasm) is that when people sign up to these funds, the company will try to hide all the fees associated with joining such as a “load fee” which is charging a huge fee up front to join in with the fund, so a person won’t want to leave the fund because they’ve already lost a lot of money up front. There are a lot of other things such as hiding fees in very small print and so on so people

To start with, as I began this class, I had little idea of what challenges I was going to face while taking the course. Mentally, I had a problem of being stubborn while going through this class as I like to consider myself a skilled hobbyist as an artist. For the first unit on lines, I found myself thinking that I didn't need to learn this and that it was just useless information being shown to me. It made my sluggish while completing my lessons initially and I had a stubborn mental block. However, as I went to the second unit onwards, I saw topics that were more of interest to me, and I thought of ways I could incorporate what I was learning into my art. Another additional challenge for me was the projects as I found that it got me out of my comfort zone. It made me realize that even though I had a slight familiarity with creating focal points, balance, and interest — I didn't quite know how to express it. It brought to my attention that even when I was able to create appealing fully colored pieces, that I still had much to work on the foundation part of the art such as drawing. Doing these project traditionally instead of digitally meant I didn't have my usual array of colors to pick from via the color wheel and I had to choose how to frame my drawings in a way that agreed with the element of design I wanted to show. In the end, I did conquer these challenges that I confronted during this course.

The intention of this paper is to provide a critical reflection on my learning experience within the subject Designing, Implementing and Improving Processes. Changes do not happen all of a sudden. Therefore the reflective view of various activities within the subject is going to be discussed. These activities throughout the 12 week program include involvement in various discussion forums, group activities, specific assignments aimed on business process management, business performance attributes and metrics, benchmarking and purpose of lean production. Furthermore, this reflection will provide an overview of the approach highlighting that it does not matter what type of activity is required to do because the most

In the last year, I have moved from New Jersey to New York to Iowa. Moving away from your family is hard, but can be done by having a strong relationship with people and good friends. Moving multiple times for the same reason, hockey, can be mentally and physically tough, but the outcome and experiences that you will encounter will make up for it. Moving is hard but can be overcome and can be viewed as a learning experience.

I was to do a journal on cultural competence for one of my learning goals, seeing as I am no longer on client contact, I will reflect on my experiences up to that point when interacting with clients from cultures other than my own. The girls in the latest cohort of project booyah were a fairly even split between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians. Girls I have met from past programs who are currently engaged with the Framing the future program, have been mostly Indigenous. The split between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people has also been fairly even, with most of the current girls being of Torres Strait Islander decent, and most of the past girls being Aboriginal. While it was quite daunting at times, especially meeting girls for the first time and going into their houses, possibly meeting the families, I did not have any major issues with this.

I set my alarm for 6 am to make it to the 7am-8am meeting at Narragansett Town Beach. My friend was over the night before and he also grew up in Narragansett for 30 years. He gave me the worst anxiety, talking about how I am going to see all the “townies”, teachers and neighbors. This made me extremely nervous, but it was the only time I could get to a meeting this week that was 10 minutes down the street.

My most memorable moments occurred during my elementary school years because most of the learning was combined with fun school trips. I remember learning about Native Americans and the way they survived in the wild. I was amazed to learn about them and the tools they made as well. The baskets, fishing, and use of acorns for food. We were able to learn about the importance of knowing of those who came before us. Also, about the close knit families they had and traditions. The historically aspect of it was very interesting because they were people that were very different from the culture we knew. The aha moment came by visiting Pioneer Village because I was amazed that we can see and touch a replica of those times. I realized that

It can often be hard to understand the lives of other people who come from a less fortunate background than your own, especially from within the walls of Hudson High School. I will not pretend to have personally experienced such a life firsthand, but I have been around those who must struggle daily just to exist on a most basic level. For three years, my family lived in Louisiana for my dad’s job. True, my family lived in a nice neighborhood there and in a peaceful area, but towns are not as economically homogeneous as they are in Ohio, and my new classmates came from very diverse economic backgrounds. Immediately surrounding my middle school was a series of rundown neighborhoods, populated by poverty and violence. My experiences of just
