Psy201 Week 1 Reflection

Then read it, analyze it, and decide on what the important aspects of the paper were, and what can be let go. That’s when the third and potentially final draft comes in to play. After the second draft, you know what the paper is going to consist of, and why it works. The third draft is refining the broad focus, as well as a last chance to check for grammar, punctuation, and the general sentence structure. Once that has been completed, you are free to print it out, and turn the paper in.

As someone who can look at a blank paper for hours at a time and not have a single idea on what to say, drafting can be one of the most crucial steps in writing. It allows you to have many different ideas before setting your mind on one solid point. Drafting allows you to release all your ideas onto the paper, no matter how good or bad it is. It makes writing 7 pages of just pure nonsense, okay, giving yourself enough to work with later on when editing. It can also help you develop your ideas into more solid pieces, by taking specific parts and allowing you to elaborate on them. My Favorite quote from Anne Lamott’s Shitty First Drafts is “For me and most of the other writers I know, writing is not rapturous. In fact, the only way I can get

My reflections of Chapter 11 of the Corey text discussing Groups in Community Settings, and more specifically working with adult populations, begins with the fact that these populations vary widely and are typically diverse in their makeup. Furthermore, the ability of professional counselors to work with a variety of adult populations utilizing a well-rounded set of clinically effective group experiences, techniques, and skills are paramount to facilitator efficacy. The multitude of diverse populations falling within the category of “adult groups” include, but are not limited to, a) women’s groups, b) men’s groups, c) domestic violence offender groups, d) sex offender groups, e) HIV/AIDS support groups, and f) older adult (elderly) groups

During this initial session, the client stated she is seeking counseling to "help find herself" due to some concerns she is dealing with in her personal life. When asked "to describe what does finding herself mean" the client was unable to answer. The client struggled to provide her view or a meaning to certain issues she identified as concerns. The counselor then assesses the client's family and her interactions with her family to find a correlation in her family interaction and what changes she wants to make in her personal life. Initial impression from the counselor is the client is aware of herself and her family and what she views as a positive and negative interaction which has or could impact the way she views things now. The client

This week I learned that when someone comes in looking for assistance you call the hotline specialist, or the outreach case manager and they will send someone down as soon as they can. If the person looking for assistance does not want to wait I should give them a card with the crisis hotline number on it.

When I first heard that this assignment would require for is to log the meals that you consumed during a two day period I thought that may I should push it to two weeks. The reasons why I choose two weeks is because it would force me to become more dedicated to the task at hand forcing me to track a week's worth of meals. I would then during the second week force myself to eat from all of the required food groups/ eat the recommend intake and keep track of the proper of all of for a week.

I Miressa brown, was absent from EDUC 7703 social, cultural, and ethical perspectives on June 25, 2015. A few years back my dad was diagnosed with 100% kidney failure. So the morning before class he informed me and my family that he has been urinating blood and was told by the VA hospital that he can't been seen until June, 25. So we make the trip to Augusta and have tons of test done. We were told that they would be getting in touch with us. A week goes by, and we still didn’t hear anything, finally we get a call saying that all the tests were negative and that they really didn’t know what was causing it. Being the responsible person that I am, I informed my job and professors of the issue to determine what I should do about missing that day. On This week in class the focus was gender.

My experience that I have learn so far from week four to week six is that catching up with assignments and exams can be a handful if you don’t do it along with the week that was assign to. Otherwise, you would have been able to catch up by now and don’t have to worry about trying to finish everything up before Final. On week four, I have learned how to create a spreadsheet in Google Documents to calculates my grade for this class. In this online class we have 80% in blackboard and Therefore, knowing how to calculate your grades allows you to know where you stand. When you know where you stand you can make decision. You have information which it’s important to know where you stand to know how to pass this class. Through discussion board week

Instructional Context: The group consisted of 6 students, ranging in age from 14-17. All 6 students were Caucasian females. Of the group members, 3 were in 9th grade, 2 were in 10th, and 1 was in 12th grade. To accurately represent my large urban, comprehensive high school student population, the group members ranged from 2 students (one 10th and one 12th grader) identified as Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG), one 9th grader who receives accommodations under a Section 504 Plan for a diagnosed anxiety disorder, and 3 considered regular education. I assessed the range of academic abilities by reviewing group members’ historical grades, test scores, schedules, attendance, and 504 plans when applicable. Based on my own interactions with students, teachers, colleagues, and parents, I have seen an increase in stress related mental health diagnosis impacting students’ ability to be successful in

- Asked for the instructor's name and the complete course name: PSY201 / Anne Sinclair.

This process worked good for me because I made sure to take my time with each step of the process and dedicate at least an hour to each part of the process especially the outline and rough draft which took longer. The outline and brainstorming helped set the tone for my rough draft and gave me a good head start on how to make my statement for the argument or Ed Dante as well as set up how I was going to organize each point I am proving. After finishing the rough draft the next thing that helped the most with the final draft was the peer review. By having fellow students who are writing about the same topic as I am give feedback adds a lot of help to my paper because they are giving information that I may have forgot and could become key parts of my

Over the semester I have been challenged and intrigued over and over by the content of this course and the professor, who thought I could develop a fairly strong paper if it was not for all my grammatical errors. It has been a very enlightening and enthralling experience that has taught me a new way to write a paper. In high school there was only one way to write and that was it. I think that this class is a great way for students to think out of the box, rather than having to be stuck. It allows them to write more freely about a subject, and I am very thankful for that. I have learned many new skills and improved the skills I already

Writing is often a difficult process to accomplish. Normally, when writing a paper, I usually write whatever comes to mind for a few minutes without any regard to grammar or spelling. I have come to realize that brainstorming is a less effective way for me to construct a paper because I found it difficult to organize and to write in a constructive manner. By acknowledging the purpose for writing and the audience, a clear pattern makes writing a much easier task to accomplish and organize. The pattern of development I decided to use is creating a rough draft of the first assignment. In my opinion, this pattern makes it much easier for writers to convey their point of view to a particular audience. For instance, the rough draft pattern consists

Also I have learned that by doing the draft step by step as in introduction, body, and conclusion also helped me get through the process of writing the draft. Not doing all the draft at once really helped because if did not feel the pressure of having to finish it all together. First, I would do the introduction and then maybe thirty or sixty minutes later, I would do the body, then after another short brake, I would do the conclusion. This has helped a lot with my draft because between those breaks I would think of something else to include in the paper. As well as giving my self time to think this way of drafting gave me an opportunity to check me paper more thoroughly because I would check each section individually and that way I found mistakes I would have missed before.

I have been working on my paper since we wrote the draft, knowing that this paper is the biggest part of my grade has me doing everything I can to make sure the paper is completely to the best of my ability.
