My Journey Of Reflection During Project 1

The aim of this assignment is to give a reflective account on group presentation and the peer assessment process as well as the development of a personal action plan. It would involve using ‘The What? Model of Structured Reflection’ (Driscoll 2007) to analyse the experience of using a group designed assessment tool to assess my peers and the experience of being peer assessed. Additionally, experience of completing a group presentation would be reflected upon. A personal action plan which identifies areas for personal development and the designed assessment tool is attached as appendix 1 and 2 respectively.

At the beginning, my writing was pretty poor, I only can speak that time and I have never had good grades on writing. Integrated Project has helped me a lot to improve my writing in variety ways. For example, every class I write at least one paragraph “what have I learned today in this class”. Every day notes are becoming more and now it is more easily to write big assignment or essay. Second, this class helped me to analyze and translate information more clearly and fast. Thirdly I have learned what is “brainstorm”, and now I’m making ideas more fast than when I just came to the GIST collage. Furthermore, I started to put my sentences more carefully, because in the past my readers started to getting confuse with my assignment or essay. The

I believe I got the grade that I got because I didn’t spend time more look over my paper more carefully. I noticed after I saw the comment that the reason I repeated myself a lot because when I did my revisions on my paper, I didn’t really by close attention to what I wrote and what I wrote before. That led me to repeat myself few times in my paper. When I was final checking my paper, I thought there should be more Honda discussion than Audi because the Honda ad is my main discussion. I didn’t know that there should be a balanced ratio between both of them. I am happy with the grade that I got for my paper, but I could’ve gotten a better grade if I checked my paper more carefully than what I did before I turned it in.

I chose to base my studies on J because we shared a lot in common; we are both Christians living in a predominantly Muslim country. He is eleven years old. His parents are Jordan nationals who have lived in Bahrain for at least two years. J goes to school at Naseem International School where I work. The school offers PYP programs. Lessons are conducted in English; however, Arabic lessons are also offered per week. Majority of kids in this school are Muslims most of whom are Bahrainis. Other nationalities making the student population are Saudis, Lebanese, Jordanians, few South Africans, and other Arabian Gulf countries. Teachers are a mixture of nationalities. Some of them are Arabs, others South Africans, while some are Europeans.

The purpose of this paper will be to discuss the major philosophies that have shaped the nursing profession, how epistemologies have informed nursing science, the development of nursing philosophy, and the theoretical knowledge that has advanced the nursing body of knowledge. I will discuss how this new knowledge has influenced my perspective of the nursing profession, and how this will inform my theory-guided and reflective practice as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). Furthermore, I will articulate the concepts and ideas of my personal nursing philosophy and paradigm, and the congruence to the theoretical concepts and elements of Dr. Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring (Watson, 1979).

This essay is a reflective account on my experience within the introductory period of my practice when caring for a patient. The essay will give the definition of reflection. This reflective essay will help me demonstrate how my experience in practice has helped me achieve one of the learning outcomes in my learning plan, (appendix 1). Driscoll (2000) will be used as a reflective model. The essay will explore what (description of events) so what (analysis) and now what (action plan). This essay is going to reflect on the importance of good communication with patients.

Throughout my Senior Capstone project, I have learned many things about myself and the people that I worked with to make my project a success. Working with the elderly residents at the assisted living facility opened my eyes and I viewed things with a different perspective. Going into the project, I did not know what to expect with the residents, but towards the end, the residents knew me so well and had inspired. My favorite part about this project was the opportunity to interact with new people and know what they live their daily lives like. Being able to be around them gave me the chance to talk and listen to stories about their lives. They were also welcoming to any stories that I could relate to and always listened intently to my stories.

My project was to showcase my abilities in makeup and sfx makeup. I practiced individual cuts and bruises on myself first. My mother donated her face to be the bulk of my project, and I transformed one half into a zombie, and the other, made up traditionally. I used several reference photos and videos during the process. It took about 7 hours, including clean up time. I was fighting off the flu at the time, and it was important to frequently wash my hands. I hope to get a job as a cosmetic/fashion makeup artist, whether it be freelance, at a set location, or in the special effects field. I would love to be able to do makeup for movies and TV shows in the horror/fantasy genre. I am also interested in skincare, which

My capstone project is to provide education about cyber bullying cyberbullying. During the course of the capstone project and after finished it, I have learned many leadership skills and developed myself as a nurse. I also discovered my strengths and weaknesses during the course of doing the project.

Starting my journey through college again was a big decision for me. Being a single parent of two children, a homeowner, and holding a stressful, full-time job left me with little free time. However, I longed to reinvent myself and find a way to advance my career. Meeting personal goals to further my education outweighed the guilt I felt, as my children were not young any longer. I decided to make advancing my education a top priority. Discovering that when I have a goal my follow through is definite, but it is not always easy. What I overlooked as I headed down the path to fulfill my educational goal, was that stress has real health consequences.

My educational experience is one amazing thing I would never forget. My parents gave me an experience of a lifetime that I would never let go and continue to expand. It was a gift of a great education I could have tossed away but instead I took advantage of it and it expanded my intellect and made me more independent. As a young girl my parents always told me, they wanted a great educational experience for me. They said no matter what it took to get me into good schools, to have a great education they will do it. My parents worked very hard to give me the opportunity to be in private school my whole life since pre-school. They always told me to work hard, be bright and be bold. The educational level I had being in private school my whole life was amazing. What was amazing about my education level is that I was able to take all college prep. classes, I took an AP Spanish class, my teachers were always on top of us to hand in work in time, essays in my English class were based on a college level writing. It was amazing because my school expanded my mind more on a college based level.
