In September 2017, I began writing 39C and to be honest I believed that I was going to have no problems in this class. The reason being I had taken Writing 39A and was able to pass that class, taken Writing 39B during the previous summer and managed to get an A in the class. Along with having experience of doing research from high school by trying to researching on local social issues and trying to advocate on how to effectively solve the issue; I thought there was nothing more for me to learn. I was very wrong about that statement in about the next three weeks. As I figured out while I might have prior experience doing research projects, I had no experience in conducting actual research reports using rhetoric or multimodality. As, the only things that I had that was remotely related to the class was how to find credible sources through databases and google scholar, how to write in MLA format, and how to use rhetoric. In the beginning of the quarter, I had no idea how all of this was supposed to connect, but something I knew I had was that my work cut out for me being trying to find my sources and being able to keep with the rest of my classes. Research and Composition When it came time to begin the writing process for the HCP, I knew this was going to be a challenge. With the requirement of having 4-6 academic sources, each one being well around 20-40 pages, I knew that I did not want to constantly keep on rereading these sources, so I decided to take notes on each
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
Ian-Bradley Tancred This essay analyses and describes what reflection is and how it supports your personal and professional learning. It elaborates upon how and why recognizing your strengths and weaknesses are important and how they can enhance lifelong learning. It describes what arguments and assertions are, what the differences are between them and which one is better.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
In order to prepare for this torero trek, I would attend more resume and elevator pitch workshops, and schedule more appointments at the career development center. I attended the Engineering Career fair that was on the 4th of October. In which, I got my first exposure to employers and I was able to practice my elevator pitch and my networking skills. I later scheduled an appointment with Rhonda Harley at the career development center to get some feedback on my resume.
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.
I would like write the incident according to John’s (2006) model of structured reflection. When I was working in aged care as a medication technician, one incident reported about medication error. It happened in an afternoon. One of our morning nurse staff given a medication to the resident and forgot to record it. She finished her duty and left at 1 pm.Another staff came for afternoon duty gave the medication to the resident again. At around 2 pm we got a call from morning staff and said she forgot to record the medication. Then only we came to know that, the resident got double dose of medicine. Duty nurse reported this incident to the management and drug error record faxed to the head office. Management called all the staffs
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
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.
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,
