Reflective Essay On Class Reflection

This movie, The Classroom, which was very interesting to watch, discusses all that goes on in the school system, the good and the bad. But it also shows how things at home can affect the way the student acts during the school day. This movie definitely makes you look at students that act out differently, instead of punishing them maybe we should all look deeper into the issue and find a way for the student to thrive and use school as an outlet.

In December of 2013, I was told that I was not considered for the full-time temporary faculty position in political science on South Campus by Dr. Sonia Nieves because I was not able to teach international relations even though I have graduate level coursework in international relations and Political Science degrees do not specify a focus. I later found out that, this requirement was false and inconsistent with Broward College’s Faculty Credentialing Manual and that Dr. Nieves hired an adjunct faculty member from another campus who had the same degree as me. This left me in the middle of December with no classes for the upcoming spring term despite my ability and record to fill my classes and outstanding reviews by students and supervisors. Dr. Neves also mentioned to me, on several occasions, that it was always a major scheduling “hassle” to be forced to find a downstairs classroom in order to accommodate my ADA needs.

When taking this class, I got to learn how to think critically, ask the right questions and formulate my thoughts into coherent paragraphs. The presentations gave me a lot of information; the assignments helped me remember and better process what I learned. And finally, the discussions gave me the opportunity to express my ideas, as well as an insight into what my classmates

The information that I have learned will be applied to my work life now and in the future so that I can better assist my students to become more intentional learners. Taking this class has definitely exceeded my expectations and has been enjoyable. When I first looked into this class, I wasn't really certain what to expect. I didn't understand the concept of the LCI and what I was supposed to get out of it. Honestly, I didn't really understand why this was going to be my first class in obtaining my bachelor's degree. After taking and completing this class, I now understand the importance of it. I have learned so much about myself as a college student, about my learning style, and I am now equipped with tools that I will be able to utilize throughout my academic journey. I think that if I had this class the first time I was in college, my GPA would have been higher and I would have been more of an intentional learner. Not only did this class exceed my expectations but it has also been enjoyable. I enjoyed learning about my Learning Patterns and how to become an intentional learner. I enjoyed learning ways to better my learning style and how to succeed as a college student. At times, it was also challenging when it came to self-reflection and I love challenges. I like that if I had an issue, I could email my

I was luckily enough to have a fairly easy time getting through college. Applied and accepted to one school, half price tuition, scholarships, and full pell grants, never received lower than a B, graduated early and had a job lined up before graduation. By no means was anything handed to me, but I knew I need to get out of school as quick as possible and get into the real world. I only dealt with homesickness my first semester. Looking back on my undergrad years, I did not deal with the typical struggles my students do. Throughout my two and half years in higher education, my eyes have been opened up tremendously, but this class opened my eyes to different issues. Issues that I have not faced yet. I am positive I will face several of these problems one day, either with my students or myself. I am happy to think back to previous discussions to help my students move through the hard

I can honestly say, my writing skills have never been good, and taking this class has challenge me to grow in my writing by teaching me different writing techniques. This class has helped me in so many ways, not only has it thought me how to format and essay, but it showed me how to write my ideas and explore my options. I know that what I learn from this class will help me in my future, when writing letters, emails, and even my resume. I also really like that it gave me a My writing lab, which really helped me work on my grammar. My suggestion for future students who take this class, read all the resource the teacher gives you, as well as take time to read the books. Find a place where is nice and quiet, where you can let all your ideas flow

While this class might not have been what I expected, I was able to complete the objectives of this course which included teaching fundamentals of being a college student and learning about myself through my uniqueness and my value and how I can apply that to be a successful student. According to the syllabus, “This class requires students to remain to true to themselves engaging in dialogue and debate about matters that are contemporary and important.” (Crowell 1) I was able to learn about different resources and techniques that will help me while I am a student at Auburn University and in my future career such as learning how to write a proper email, managing my time, interacting with those around me and how to think about things a step further.

Ever since I got into composition one, I was always that person that didn’t know how to set a proper process of the essay. I have tried going different varieties method how to set multiple essay in high school but my teacher never bothered to help me. There was sometimes that I did not like writing essay because I knew I was going to fail anyways. I struggled when it comes to writing essay but that didn’t stop me from succeeding. I was a little bit concerned so I had no choice but to give it all in for my best. I wanted to show my professor that I could be able to write one of the best essay I ever wrote in class. It was an eight week courses and it was tough for me to keep up with the essays. I believe that I have learned a lot in this course especially doing the MLA format.

‘Reflective teaching should be personally fulfilling for teachers, but also lead to a steady increase in the quality of the education provided for children.’ Pollard (2008, P.4) Here Pollard is suggesting that reflecting on our own teaching experiences is not only important for the standard of education we provide, but also for our own benefit as it can be rewarding and very worthwhile to reflect on our practices. By reflecting on my own practices in SE1, it will enable opportunities to analyse strengths and weakness and how to improve for future practice, which will allow me to develop more as both a reflective and a professional teacher. This idea of reflection stems from Dewey’s (1910) cited in McGregor and Cartwright (2011) ideas where he suggests that there are three attributes which enables us to be reflective, them being ‘open-mindedness’, ‘wholeheartedness’ and ‘responsibility’. By taking responsibility for our own teaching and reflecting upon our actions, it allows us to be open-minded about changing and adapting to new ideas from what we have concluded from our reflections, which then allows us to fully engage with these new thoughts.

Writing is a very important part of everyday life whether it be at your job or taking college courses. Haven taken this class, I have learned where my writing is “slacking.” I have definitely learned what I should work on the improve my writing to help. Small grammatical errors are definitely one thing I struggle with and learned to improve. Research papers have always been a challenge for me. I have never done well with them but this class has helped so much with better understanding how they’re done. I also learned some new things that I have never heard of before in the writing world. I have taken so much from this class that I can use to greater my writing in future situations. Studying Law is definitely a major that will require further

I have enjoyed this class so much and have learned a lot as well. Many ideas, concepts, techniques have stood out to me. The first thing would be how I can still apply and develop the ability to write in preschool and kindergarten students. Many of the ideas and concepts can be simplified for younger students to begin to build a good foundations for writing. Writing Power and POW-TREE are great ways to get students excited about writing. They are also great ways to teach students about how to write and to write in an effective way.

One way in which I have put some of the material I have learned from this class into action is by the way I have advised my coworkers to deal with certain issues. As well as by sharing some of the federal employment laws that have been passed throughout the years. I would have not done this if it was not because of the material that I learned from the textbook, discussions, and online class lectures. My employer outsources our HR to another company so we do not really have anyone to guide us when it comes to HR issues. Most of the times they come to me concerning any HR questions. Before this class, I had basic knowledge of the employment laws and was not too confident in answering most questions. Now, I know these laws more in depth and can explain what each is, what it covers, etc.

In English 151, one of the first requirements for the class is to have a three ring binder. It would ultimately become my current writing portfolio with all my writing assignments that were done for the class. To keep the binder organized, tab dividers were also required. The tabs would then be labeled for each essay and other assignments throughout the semester including journals, grammar tests, and reference handouts. After each writing assignment, the peer review edits and final essays were expected to be inserted into the binder to create the writing portfolio.

“Be a reflective teacher. Honestly look at what you do from time to time. Evaluate the purpose of your role as a teacher.” (Robert John Meenham, 2011)

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.
