Assessment 4: Reflective Journal
This research unit expects the student to keep learning throughout the semester. To attain this objective, each of our group members has put in the best of our efforts and has maintained the rough draft of our learning process as depicted under.

1 25 July Formation of Group • The first lecture was the detailed lecture and this information about the unit and assessments and this lecture explained that the hard efforts needed to be put in. It was said that we have to do a research on our topic of interest.
• I felt so much information was given all together so I made notes. It was a bit hard to understand all the contents.
• I was satisfied with the areas unit has to cover.
• Research methods, types, techniques were once again revised or understood.
• A “to do list” was prepared understanding the nature of research.
2 1 August Discussion about the group interest for topic selection • The formation of group was done and our group members meet each other for first time.
• My group came out to be very cooperative and we discussed together about the topic selection. We had two major choices, and eventually we chose the current topic with everyone’s consent.
• I started writing my personal learning in class in my diary.
• Informal talk with all the group members and discussions were made on the second class.
• A positive response was there in all group members and each
When I first got accepted into Stuyvesant High School, I heard countless of rumors stating: “Oh the workload is terrible”, “The competition is so fierce” or “Out of schoolwork, extracurriculars, or sleep: you can only pick two.” I found it hard to let it faze me, since I graduated from one of the most prestigious middle schools. However, the rumors transformed into reality when I stepped into Mr. Nieves’ Freshman Composition Class. The workload at the beginning of the year was brutal, coupled with assignments from other core classes that seem unaware of the workload of other teachers. Reading assignments were a regular, and there were journal entries and occasional quizzes to keep us in line. What made it bearable was the friends I made in that class; everyone had their own opinion about the topic we were talking about, and listening to other perspectives really broadened my horizon and enriched my learning experience in Stuy. Another thing that this class has taught me is the importance of time management, a skill that I will carry on for the rest of my high school career and life. When I choose to sign up for Mr. Nieves’ AP American Literature class in my Junior Year, I was hoping to relive the discussion-based lesson plans and meet more outstanding peers. I was not disappointed, to say the least, reflecting through all the experiences at the end of the course. The lesson plans he laid out for us were an interesting mix between small lectures and class output, and what I
I was going to talk to you after my review about something but I didn’t get the opportunity to speak with you. First let me start by saying thank you for bringing me on to JDP and allowing me to assist with the growth of such a wonderful company. It has been a pleasure working here and I hope to stay as long as JDP will have me. You probably thought I was giving you my notice right? Now on to my point, I noticed when you sent out the job description for QC that you have a degree in Criminal Justice preferred. That got me thinking about what that degree could do for me here at JDP. Obviously, I am already here and working in QC but I was wondering what your thoughts were on where it could take me here. I reached out to Chad a few weeks ago to

The learning outcomes below are to be covered to enable you to achieve the unit.
This unit does not introduce much new material. Instead, we expect you to integrate technical and theoretical knowledge acquired from study across your degree. We refer to two frameworks that may support you in carrying out this integration:
To maximize the students’ knowledge, this mandatory meeting should be held at the beginning of the school year during the fall term.
Over the years, I've noticed that there are some questions and themes that come up consistently in groups and in the course of the next few months I'll be writing about these one at a time.
This essay is a reflective essay on my learning development from a young age through to my current position as a University Student. I will be relating my learning development back to two theories of human development, Vygotstsky’s socio-cultural theory and Marcia’s version of Erikson’s theory of identity development. I will identify and discuss the challenge I have faced with my identity and how this has impacted on my development.
Vital signs are a fundamental component of nursing care and indicate the body’s ability to maintain blood flow, regulate temperature and regulate oxygenate the body tissue. Taking vital signs are essential in revealing any sudden changes in the body, which could potentially indicate clinical deterioration of the patient.
For this Unit's Learning Journal, you will use the topic you selected for Unit 2 to draft your thesis statement and create the outline of your five-paragraph essay. For your thesis, you will include at least two or three sentences that make your thesis. You will use a three-section academic outline format to present your thesis statement and the topic sentences for three paragraphs in the body section. For now, leave the conclusion section blank.
During our summer experience, there was some discontent in my group. When relationships did not go well, focusing on the paper and presentation was the only thing that got me through the group work. In the end, we made it, but I would have much preferred a strong emphasis on both tasks and relationships as reflected in this questionnaire.
This is a reflective essay based on a event which took place in a hospital setting. The aim of this essay is to explore how members of the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) worked together and communicate with each other to achieve the best patients outcome.
My strategical approaches includes early identifying the cause , Referrals made appropriately, Interventions that are timely , Significance of treatments, Patient education and measuring the outcomes.The biggest barrier I have come across is nurses have no available help how to respond on a patients death and dying. It is not common to include courses on death and dying in nursing curriculums (Jonas, Simpson, Pilkington, MacDonald & McMahon 2013, 2). Patient death and dying may impact nurses adversely, producing feelings such as depression and guilt (Martins, Chaves & Campos 2014, 172; Gerow, Conejo, Alonzo, Davis, Rodgers & Domian 2010, 123; Shorter & Stayt 2010, 160). Some nurses reported their unpreparedness when dealing with patient death and dying, attributing this to having received insufficient education (Alvaro 2009, 29).
The way every group member participated in discussions and how prepared we all came with notes was very good. Our individual interests and open communication was what made this meeting so effective.
The aim of the reflective essay is to highlight my own personal development skills that I have developed during first semester of my module. However, in this report I will make sure my learning ability phase and what this module has allowed me to work and understand in improving my personal skills and purpose. My major aim is to develop and assess an in depth range of my personal traits as a student in order to endorse my future development plan.
