Essay about My Personal Experience in Research Projects

1. List and briefly describe the two most significant distinctions or awards you have earned at university/college/CEGEP, or upper years in high school.

For my last class I went to a Montessori school for my practicum field experience, and as you mentioned with the homeschooling, they also use the method that allows the students to learn at their own pace, the students are not rushed into going to the next level just because they have spent too much time in one level. I had never heard of this concept until I went there, when I went to the interview and met the principal she told me "This is a non-traditional school, are you ok with it"? that's when I asked and she began to explain and of course I also looked it up online and learned more, but whatever I knew prior to being in the classroom could not prepare me for what I saw in the classroom of about ten students and all of them working on

Research in Nursing has become a fundamental discipline throughout the years and this report will provide an insight into the process of research. This report will show how to use the Cinhal database to extract the best available article within the parameters of Tissue Viability and formulation of the research question. The main features will focus on the reliability and validity of the chosen topic of the Waterlow Scale tool and the comprehensive evaluation of the evidence. The main aim of this report is to validate the effectiveness of Waterlow Assessment Tool and identify any risk factors, towards the prevention of pressure ulcers. The overall strengths and weaknesses of the report will highlight any

In the reading of the book Methods in Behavioral Research, the author clearly defines the case study as “an observational method that provides a description of an individual” (Bates, 2012, pg. 121). The objectives of this course fitting to our syllabus were to familiarize us to the practices of psychological research, to advance our understanding of how research is completed and the methods used to do it, and to give us the capability to communicate knowledgeably about the ideas following the research procedure.

In my microbiology course, professor Brem assigned the class to complete a project based on an unknown organism with a partner of our own choice. We had to perform multiple of tests and create selective/ differential plates in order to identify what our unknown organism was. The unknown project had an impact on my learning, critical learning, and problem-solving skills. I will be discussing each of which in the upcoming paragraphs using my Bio 295 unknown project as a model.

As a reader and writer I have had plenty of courses that made me write essays and research papers, however not as much to read. Writing was always stressed upon in my high school so we tended to write a lot. Reading was also stressed upon, but not as heavy as writing so we didn’t do nearly as much reading as we did writing. The last most intensive writing and reading course I took was my sophomore year theology class.

Research is the driving force behind all scientific innovations. Gathering talented and passionate people to increase the understanding of the world to ultimately apply a field of science changes the world. I am currently in my third year of double majoring in chemistry and biology at Concordia University Nebraska. I have thoroughly enjoyed my studies thus far—from learning why drugs have a specific impact on the body to predicting electron movement between molecules—and I look forward to learning more. But at such a small school, one educational experience that is missing is the in-depth, focused research projects like those available at KU.

“Reading and writing, like everything else, improves with practice. And, of course, if there are no young readers and writers, there will shortly be no older ones. Literacy will be dead, and democracy - which many believe goes hand in hand with it - will be dead as well”(Margaret Atwood). Similarly to Margaret Atwood, I too have always understood and believed that with practice and years of experience my writing and reading comprehension would advance and that someday I would be able to write my thoughts in an intelligent and concise manner. Coming into freshman year I had the notion that writing was a tedious and unsatisfying process that had left me time and time again disappointed and frustrated in myself and honestly I feared english

Starting out at the American Cancer Society I never thought I would actually look forward to waking up at 6:30am to walk all the way there, but the more I volunteered the more I was looking forward to Thursday mornings and seeing all the wonderful people who work and stay there. Service is an extremely important part of being a leader. A big component of being a leader is connecting with others. Service is a great way to get out there, meet new people, and gain new perspectives. Being a service-oriented leader will help you connect with more people and build relationships within your community. Servant leadership is being able to provide that service, while also being able to reflect on how you are

The morning of September ninth observation started out with the First Annual Pancake Slam offered by Justin Youth Sports Association at the baseball fields at Justin Community Park. It consisted of all you can eat pancakes, home run derby for all age groups (4U-14U), and prizes to be given out for each age group. Along with baseball games at Justin home field scheduled from as early as 9:30am to 2:00pm, consisting of six and under T-Ball to 14 and under baseball. From the time I arrived at the ballpark at 8:00am to watch them set up, until the last game ended of 4:00pm I observed interaction between children, parents, and coaches.

Writing is no were near my strongest subject but everyone has their weak and strong subjects when it comes to education. I strive to become a phenomenal writer one day, to become a great writer requires a lot of work. This work I would have to do demands for a great amount of consistency. My writing experience has been filled with a lot of learning and recognizing that I still need help. I am not at all the best writer. I have yet to grasp the full knowledge of writing an academic paper. Some things I remember from high school, but other things are new to me. Focusing on my weaknesses is key while acknowledging me strengths. As a writer, I can find good research and come up with transition sentences but I tend to add extra information that is not relevant to the essay and I struggle with in-text citations.

The Freshmen Research Initiative (FRI) is a program designed to allow incoming freshmen to learn the necessary skills of research and laboratory skills. As a member of FRI, I was able to have the opportunity to serve as a research assistant as part of the “Supramolecular Sensors” research stream. This was an organic chemistry research lab headed by professor and researcher Dr. Eric Anslyn. The research was primarily focused on constructing differential array sensors that can ultimately be applied to many fields such as homeland security, the food industry, environmental science, and clinical diagnostics. Majority of the work I completed focused on construction of peptide-based sensors that can be used to differentiate wine varietals. My daily

I have extensive experience in the lab, as I believe it is crucial to perfect such skills and techniques. Through the past 4 years I have worked in various labs in Europe and Israel. I have explored various research fields such as bioinformatics, genetics, biophysics, oncology, immunology and developmental biology. The many skills learned are a great foundation to build upon, and can be easily adapted to any research area, as I quickly learn and adapt to new challenges. I am confident in applying this experience in other labs and environments as well as consolidating my knowledge.

My life has been a crazy roller coaster with many events that have affected my life all in different ways. There have been times where my life has been at its highest peak in the world then it falls down, right into a deep valley. From the time my lovable younger sister came into my life to when my grandpa had a near death experience, I have learned many valuable lessons through the rough times as well as the more happy times. When I was a young girl, my mom had always told me the same thing over and over again. I never really thought about how a few words would have a deep effect on me in a short amount of time.

The study for this thesis will be exploratory research using secondary data collected by the communication agency, MESH Planning. The agency developed an innovative approach called ‘real-time experience tracking’, which involves three stages of data collection. And both qualitative and quantitative data will be collected and used in this context in order to get an insight of critical incidents.
