Reflection On Diglossia

Everyone is different from one another, regardless of how many similarities one person might have with another person. This means that everyone hold different beliefs and values on topics and will address this topic in the manner they feel fits best. This relates to the self-awareness tier that the model has, considering it is based on what we bring to a conversation at a moment. As a result, it goes to the knowledge tier where I had to determine exactly what I learned from the speeches I had listened to. I had to ask my questions to myself, such as “did I already know this point?” or “is this a point I need to remember for a later date?”, to process all the information I was given to see the coherent message the presenter was trying to get across. Finally, this lead me to the final tier in the model: choice. With the information given to me, I had the opportunity to choose the best course of action I need to take that I thought was correct. The plethora of diverse speech topics that were shown in class this semester gave me countless amount of information to use to decide what exactly I was going to do with it. I can either decide to ignore it or embrace it and create change in the

The idea that was change the most for me is the idea I have toward people that mental illness that committed a crime. I used to think that they don’t deserve a second chance, even when they get treated in mental institute, I would not gamble the chance of them hurting other. Eventhough my opinion is not completely change I feel like I understand them more. Especially on the question why they did what they did. Which help me … think the first response paper is the paper that I can reflect on the most. This response paper shown how much my idea have change even with the stuff that was not relate to this class. In the beginning

Standing at the front of the class, my nerves grew from a small, nagging annoyance to rampant thoughts of failure, causing me to scramble, my memory of the topic becoming fuzzy. My groupmate made his closing statement, which signaled to me that the hard part of our presentation was only just beginning. Watching several of my peers’ hands raise, it sunk in that the questioning phase of our presentation, and the only phase we could not thoroughly prepare for, had commenced.

Before our actual class discussion we did a little preparing. This included looking up the definitions to several words and writing them down. If we didn’t understand what a statement was saying

Students are advised to present as if they are presenting to a client. The criteria used to mark students is being able to explain the key topic thoroughly and having excellent presentation skills. Over the weeks, I watched several presentations and the mistakes that other students made include not adhering to the time limit, not being creative and not having group coordination. As a result, my tutor gave feedback and provided solutions for each mistake. Along with the feedback from other groups, I believe I have learned how to present effectively.

Many times I find myself struggling understanding myself or other people on certain conversations. There have been times when I’m into a conversation and out of nowhere I lose interest or I’m just lost in the conversation in general. For that reason, I find this chapter interesting because it talks about the “awareness wheel map” which is described to “help us to reflect on and clarify, in any moment in time, how we are responding to the issue” (p. 47). However, I wonder if it actually works because as I practiced my issue using the awareness wheel map it was difficult for me to identify what was what. And, even though the text book stated that the awareness wheel represents and integrates our whole brain it makes is difficult to expresses my issue and at the same time identify the information I am expressing.

At the beginning of the project, my group had difficulty of picking a topic. Since, my group member and I both had different topics that we would like to work on. At the end, we both agreed to work on cyberbullying because the subject is relevant and not often speak of until something happens as result of cyberbullying. We also worked together on all aspects of the project including writing and editing the prospectus, communicating with the school nurse and advisor, and making the poster and the bookmark. As we worked on the project, my struggles and weaknesses showed as well as my strengths. I had difficulty of speaking in front of big group and present the materials. However, my group member helped me to overcome that difficulty by practicing speaking and presenting

-I feel that this projected related to this class and the discussions for this class. How people interpret things individually this project not only look at the fact but also someone’s option. I think I could use this process in psychology, to better analyze how others process their thoughts.

When presenting an idea your essentially attempting to sell that idea to your audience, so when one of your audience has to present that idea in your place then at that point you have failed. This was the case for a student in Vazquez Arch 2500 class. His project covered the bat colony, and his problem was the drainage. The solution he devised was to deviate the drainage on the side of the structure. However this was not shown in is presentation. When presenting, the visual must show the idea in a clear precise manor that makes it understandable. Also the speaker must speak clearly so that the entire audience may hear what is being said. Lastly, know what exactly the idea that is being presents is. These three thing are the basic components

My voice becomes shaky and everything that I was going to say has suddenly escaped out of my brain. I felt that I knew my material pretty well but I wasn’t sure about my pace on that slide. I had practiced what I was going to say but I had never timed myself. I did not feel that my group, as a whole, was prepared because we had never practiced as one. If I could go back and start this group experience over from the beginning, I would have made sure that we have had more meetings and timed our completed presentation.

Before the end of this course, we had group presentation where we had real cases with patient prescription error, and we had to present to the class the cause, effect of that error. My team project was really excellent. Several things I did to perform excellently in this project was teamwork-getting along with my teammates and trying to understand their opinion, I was the leader of it who decided when to do it, where to meet, how to do specific things, and what to do. I was extremely responsible with this work which took our group to the right path. Something I excelled was being confident when presenting in front of my classmates and instructor, I had enough confident to present my point and was ready for any question coming toward me; however,

To analyse the presentation and teamwork I need to be able to understand everyone has different experiences and different ways of working and had their own view on teamwork. My confidence grew as I got to know the team. Giving the presentation has helped me with my confidence, which I will need when I am working in the health care. I have also learned to speak up more and encourage others to take part when they where being quiet and not pulling their weight. It was good to do research using the appropriate methods, looking at journals and professional sites. I managed to hold it together during the presentation in front of everyone. I knew the presentation was not going to go as well has it could due to the lack of practice. The reason I was so nervous was

In my economic class it comes to presentation time, my nerves start to freak out. I always get good grades when it comes to the written parts such as the slides or the posters I make. But, it’s nothing if I didn’t explain it in front of the class what my presentation is about. My teacher understands my feeling and he tries to make me present, but somehow I miss school because of the presentation. I don’t like saying the words in my presentation slide, I always feel the tears that try to come out from my eyes and I choose to miss school. Sweats are all over my body I feel like I am in the shower when I am in front of the whole class.

Understanding often involves emotion of a good listener. I consider a job well done if it allows the speaker to become slightly uninhibited during the communication process because if speakers are being criticized by a listener, they show inhibition while speaking in the conversation. By expressing empathy and understanding while listening requires flexibility, I encourage them to be candid while expressing their emotions. I involved myself in their conversation as I express I am in their shoes so they feel more candid as they speak.
