Reflective Reflection

I personally have enjoyed this course. I was very nervous the first few months trying to make sure I didn’t miss any assignments and understood the reading material. I learn a lot about inequality, social injustice, social structure, social identity, and how to view things through a sociological perspective. This course has prepared me to observe various issue in society in a whole different way. We must educate ourselves about our history to know the differences, if not we will become a product of our environment. Therefore, “it’s easy to slide into the belief that things have always been the way we’ve known them to be” (Rosenblum & Travis, 2012, P.503).

Personally, I have taken so much, from taking this course. Initially, I didn’t think I was going to gain that much. But dialogues on diversity, has helped understand other peoples point of view, and learned about their personal experience. This course not only teaches us about diversity, put it also helps us see it from a different points of view. I could say that, these seven weeks have shaped me to become, not only a better person but, also being able to identify and understand my own thoughts.

Overall, taking this course has taken me from an undeveloped thinking process to an adequate thinker. Before taking this course, I would respond to an action, a statement or an opinion given by someone, without taking the time to think about what the question at hand was, what the problem was, or even trying to understand the others point of view. Now I have gained the knowledge to response to any situation with the correct format. I also, have learned to become a bit more open minded. Furthermore, I did not understand that my upbringing could be an impediment of mines when responding to certain situations. Everyone’s up bringing is not the same. Everyone’s morals and values are not the same. So I have learned from taking this course, not to

Both simple and complex reflections were used. A simple reflection used towards the beginning of the interview transpired into, “pretty active out doing a lot of things.” Alternatively, a complex reflection used when reflecting on Sarah’s feelings about what her friends think about her not socializing subsisted of, “it bothers you thinking about them, wondering about your intentions.” I used twice as many complex reflections as simple reflections. Unfortunately, I should have used many more complex reflections so there was two reflections for every question instead of the other way around. In order to reflect the amount of fun she had with friends, I could have said, “It sounds like you had a ton of fun just hanging out

Gibbs (1998) acknowledges that it is not enough just to perform a task to learn. Once something is learnt it is important to reflect upon that learning experience otherwise the learning experience may be neglected. Correspondingly with Gibbs, this piece of writing will critically evaluate key academic sources linked with reflective practice, these include models by Gibbs, Kolb and Schon. One of these reflective models will be used to provide a critical analysis of my experience on the Study Skills and Employability module. Critical reflection will be included on how I felt during the module and what I have learnt from the module as well as what I would do next time if I was to repeat the module again.

This course has presented me with the opportunity to reassess my values and what I truly want to gain from college. I have made three specific changes in my life because of this course. The first is that I have begun to branch out and connect with people on campus. The second was to determine if I really want to do the degree I am currently in. The third and final and the most influential change in my life was my decision to accept Christ.

Writing has always been one of my strengths, enabling me to freely express my creative thoughts in a controlled manner onto a piece of paper. Although my writing process takes a long time, I have complete power over the sentences and structures that I am weaving together to form a cohesive whole. Throughout High School, I was trained to write a structured essay in an ample amount of time by writing, editing, and finalizing my draft. Most of our work involved writing individual essays and research papers in which I developed a strong foundation in. However, I realized that I lacked experience in group work as well as oral communication in delivering my ideas to the audience. At the end of the semester, I noticed my transition from an

To be good at something, you must fail and learn from your mistakes. I know that writing essays is my weakest point when it comes to scholar work. I tend to want to finish my work as fast as possible with little to no revision. Additionally, because of the want to finish fast, my sentence structure is weak and most of the time it doesn’t make any sense. My writing is often vague since I just want to finish, so I get straight to the point and ignore adding any details to the main points I am covering. But because I have revised every essay I wrote I have seen an improvement in my own writing skills. Despite rushing all the essay, I wrote in WRC 1013 my writing skills have improved because I have revised every essay I have written and fixed

Since my hire at Cleveland State University I have attempted to enhance my teaching and supervision of clinical instruction in two ways: 1) by improving my pedagogy, and 2) by enriching my own content knowledge by attending professional conferences and continuing education courses and through the process of maintaining or obtaining professional certifications.

The purpose of this, my reflective essay, is to consider the journey I have taken to develop and create both the research story task and the story task. In the first task I was tasked to do an in-depth research on a topic that was trending or perceived as popular with a wide and varied audience. Accordingly, this would be a topic that could be seen to span a range of Social Media and established news sources. Then, in the second task, I was required to create a well-structured article based on the topic and crafted to meet the well-established journalistic standards of an established periodical, such as Time magazine. I now regret not adding an image to both support and establish the storyline. If

                       In the short story “A Retrieved Reformation” by O.Henry talks about many things. For example: Honesty is the best policy, love can change everything, or even sometimes you need to sacrifice yourself so the ones you love can be happy. But something the stuck out from the story was no matter what you do, you can’t change that past. What this is basically saying is that if you do something you regret, you can’t turn back time and change what already has happened, and it’s true. What you as the reader will read next is that the author O.Henry gives explicit detail on what Jimmy Valentine has done in his past and can’t undo.

Over the last couple weeks, I have had the amazing opportunity to work alongside Alex, Shaun, and Lance at the Center for Bone and Joint Disease (C.D.J.D) in Hudson Florida. I consider myself extremely fortunate for being assigned this clinical location because I have been exposed to so much in such a short period of time. Not only are Alex, Shaun, and Lance excellent radiological technologists who are eager to share with me everything they know, but C.B.J.D. Hudson is incredibly busy because of how many patients are seen there every day. This has given me countless chances to hone the skills I have learned in the classroom and has quickly shown me traits and skills I have I am proud to call

The purpose of this chapter is to reflect on the process and results of this action research, as well as the growth that was made personally.

As I look back and reflect on all that I have learned from my experiences from Afro-Am 151, I realized that I have learned much more than I expected to. I thought that I would just be learning about the concepts of the course, but I also learned who I am as a person, and even changed some of the ways I look at the world we live in. Going to my placement site of Packer helped me to better understand the concepts we learned about in class, as well as my inner feelings about the concepts. I learned that I used to think about and view the world in a way that most Americans do today as well. The problem with this is that it is not the best way to go through life. Growing up, I lived in a mostly white town, so I didn’t really think much about
