Reflection Analysis

This week's reflection assignment consisted on us watching a video. The video is titled "SKS trigger job", and is narrated by Iraqveteran8888. The website hosting this video is youtube.com.

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

Thirdly, although this class is required for all degree paths, as a student I do have some expectations of what I would like to learn from this class. Since my chosen career requires a Master’s degree I believe I have a lot more writing ahead of me. It has been a little over 10 years since I have had to write a paper and will need to refresh, in my mind, the necessary blue print for a good research paper. I hope to learn any new tricks that might help writing a

Intern met with resident K. Brown for the purpose of addressing her personal concerns and speaking with her about her community service hours. Kiara informed me that she completed her community service hours for the previous week. Intern asked her to verify the days she completes CS hours, and she stated Sundays and Wednesdays. Resident did express her frustrations by saying that she used to mess up with her CS hours, but she is really trying to do better. Intern advised her that another resident completes hers during that time, so she will have to do CS hours on Mondays and Thursdays or Mondays and Fridays. Intern also explained to her the importance of doing CS hours. It was explained that not only is this a requirement of the program,

My conception of the class, before entering, was that a struggling writer turned professor would be going to great lengths telling us how to write and how not to write. Of course, with me being a veritable writer who happened to need to take a writing related course not for the improvement of my writing, but for the acquisition of the credential. I was going to stubbornly disregard all reproaches, suggestions, and ‘improvements’ and trudge forward headstrong in my unalterable style.

For as long as I can remember I have always struggled with writing especially essays. I am not sure if it is my lack of imagination or my lack of knowledge with writing basics but writing has definitely been a struggle for me. When I entered this class I became very nervous right away to learn that I was going to have to write in this class. Could I be successful in this class? Would I have any idea what I was doing? Although, I was nervous and had many fears, as soon as we jumped into week two things seemed to flow and my fears seemed to subside. This class was setup in a way that helped the student be successful. The key to my success was to not fear the essay but to break it apart and do it in pieces (the way the course was set up). The research paper was very beneficial in teaching me the sections of a research essay that can be carried over into other writing areas.

I printed out this email and I highlighted the answers we were to bubble in. However, once we began to bubble in the answers there was a problem. The overwhelming majority of the students did not know their address. This created a major problem because I was given only one paper with the students’ address. Thus, I had to spend the majority of the time helping students with their addresses. Around 10:50 Tammy Becker walked in and told my class that we were being too loud (I was doing my best helping students fill out their address). She said we were to start the test at 11:05 am. As a result, I made sure we did start the test at 11:05 am. At 11:05 am the students began testing. I followed everything we were instructed to do during the PSAT.

Discuss specific ways in which your leadership accomplishments and service activities have resulted in major change or lasting service to the university or to the community.

Coming into college, I never thought I would be an art major. I came to the University of Evansville with high hopes of being a nurse. I began the nursing program, but only lasted for a semester, due to anatomy and physiology being awful. I took up computer science, but quickly dropped that after about two weeks due to my grandfather passing away during the first week of the semester, and me having to leave for a week for his funeral. I was ready to drop out of school – I had no friends, stayed in my room all day except for class, and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. About halfway through my second semester of college, I joined Phi Mu, which gave me hope and friends, and made me want to stay

For my critical reflection I attended the suicide prevention presentation with keynote speaker Jamie Tworkowski. Prior to attending this event, I wasn’t very excited. I thought that it would be a boring lecture where someone stood up and talked about suicide. I didn’t think it would tell me something I didn’t already know. It began with the discussion of Jamie’s organization called To Write Love on Her Arms and how it started with his desire to help a friend who was struggling with addiction and self harm and share her story. Her story first appeared on myspace and quickly after the page received thousands of comments and responses, Jamie realized that this is an issue that reaches everybody. Today, the organization has flourished into a

This is the last week of the course and so far, I've seen a lot of improvement in my writing. At first I was feeling nervous taking this class and wondering what challenges I might have to face. As I mentioned in the beginning of the term, most of my writing I completed through the community college. The last time I remember creating an outline was about 12 years ago. From my first discussion I indicated having certain weaknesses in writing. For instance, avoiding to carefully read any material that is given to me. This often caused me to misunderstand the requirements notated in the assignments. After reading the professor's suggestion to look over the rubric for guidance. I did as I was told instead of for the first time reading the activities

The class was more challenging than I expected. When I came into this class, I thought it was gonna be just like last year. I thought my writing was good enough to do decent in a college class. But In reality,

For the TGMD-2, my participant was named James Williams. He is a six year old boy who is in first grade at Just Elementary and his physical education teacher is Coach Mark Perry. For his age, William possessed advanced movement on a lot of the tasks. With regards to the TGMD-2, it will be beneficial to look at each of the specific activities and where the William was at developmentally.

One thing that I have very significant as a student of problem solving is continually using the entry phase when given a problem. The entry phase allowed me to focus on the logistics of the problem. The following questions is what I found myself asking as a learner of problem solving: what are you trying to find/want to know about the problem, what do you know about the problem and what questions do you have? I not only used these questions in problem solving, but also in my other math classes at UNI. They helped think about what was important in the math question I was trying to solve. I have always struggled with comprehension, I know if I was introduced to this method when I was elementary school, I would have been successful in word problems. These three questions allow the students to break down the question and think before trying to solve. It almost slows down their thought process, which can be beneficial for all types of students.

Overall, I really enjoyed this course because it connected history, a topic I love, with current events. I loved being able to turn on the news and be able to follow the political discourse because of topics I learned in class. Whether is was an action Trump took that violated Supreme Court cases, or the debate over appointments by Trump, I was able to follow the news easily because of this class. Additionally, I was very excited when we would mention current event in class because I could easily see the connections. For example was excited to re-watch the RNC and DNC because I look back with a more critical eye behind the electoral process. Due to the interesting topic in this class, I am considering continuing my study of government into
