Reflective Reflection On Success

The librarian visited our class to do a presentation regarding the APA Citation Style and Plagiarism. I have learned a lot more information on how to avoid plagiarism and how to cite it appropriately. APA offers guidelines for overall paper layout, citations, abstract, style, and references. Students are often asked to adhere to the APA guidelines when writing papers, research essays, and reports. Understanding and following the rules of APA can assist a student in writing a well-formatted and professional looking academic paper.

This weeks assignment was tough for me also , I am having trouble remembering how to correctly follow the APA format. Being an honest person with high expectations and educational goals, I will strive to correctly give the author credit for their work. The idea of writing down your thoughts before starting a paper could be helpful in your research. I also agree with you that if professional writers have problems with correctly citing their research work, then we as new students must strive to progress in our academic journey.

Many of the topics that were covered this semester were helpful to me, but the information that benefited me most is on majors, degree audits, and CODA. I already knew most of the information about time management, organization, and the classroom setting, but knew very little about majors, degree audits, and CODA. It was most useful to learn about something that I knew nearly nothing about. The most important reason that I need to understand this topic is so I can schedule my classes. Had I not known about the degree audit and my major requirements, I would have greatly struggled to schedule my classes for the spring semester. Scheduling classes is something that I am going to have to do every semester, so I am glad that I learned about the degree audit this semester. Also, since I am in the Life Sciences First Year program, I will have to change into my actual major of Human Biology. Knowing about CODA is important for helping me through this process. In addition, if I ever decide to change

However, it cannot be denied that for an individual to carry out a comprehensive research, he/she is destined to use the available resources that contain relevant information. To avoid plagiarism, someone else’s information should be properly paraphrased, and in-text citations given to give a hint that someone else information has been used and acknowledged. In the case of direct quotation, the source and the page number or paragraph must be indicated in order to avoid theft and information laundering (Frick, 2011).

The biggest thing I learned this semester is where to appropriately place commas and how parallel structure is really important. I never really noticed how much simple commas could change a whole story. Parallel structure is probably going to help me out a lot later in life especially in college because it just sounds better. It sounds more professional when you write things and the flow goes along with it. I learned that having people read over your work is probably the best thing you can do for yourself. It helps a lot when other people can help you see the mistakes you may have missed a thousand times before.

The use of the APA style is commonplace among such fields as; nursing, anthropology, education, and within the scope of research and scientific publishing. The purpose of the format was brought about by a disagreement between Edward B. Tichener who was the head of Cornell Universities psychology laboratory and James McKeen who was the editor of the monthly Scientific Psychological Review. The disagreement was about the editors desire for concise conveyance of ideas and the need for creativity(History Of APA, 2011).

The general trend for scholars was to either explain or expound on theories of the previous scholars but Professor of nursing Gary Rolfe (2001) designed a reflective model to simplify the learning cycle. This version of the reflective cycle was comprised of three questions that ask the reflective practitioner: What, So what, and Now what? (Rolfe 2001)The idea is that through these questions we gain a description of the situation ultimately leading to critic of the situation as well as the f knowledge that has been gained through this experience.

The learning curve can be tremendous when first starting to learn APA style, but it also has its advantages. Consistently using APA style allows for our facilitators to quickly assess a student’s understanding of subject matter more accurately (Bethel University, 2014). Avoiding plagiarism and giving credit to the correct individual is also advantageous to the student when completing their

As a scholar practitioner I am constantly being challenged with quoting and paraphrasing other resources. I would like to say this has been an easy journey, but really I feel that I am still learning . I try to be self aware of this when completing assignments and I try my best to follow the feedback from instructors. To me, an individual who does not follow these standards is being careless, unethical and unprofessional. Plagiarism is also described as not giving credit to the source and identifying the material as if it were your own (American Psychological Association, 2010). The following paragraphs will identify where plagiarism has occurred and offer a solution.

My fall term at Florida Southwestern State College was surely an experience. I was capable to have a very successful term. I am hoping to keep using my experiences to improve and grow as a college student. The course that I took was a great value to me. It taught me some very important things. As my fall term of college is coming to an end, there has been a couple of feelings I have come to realize in the beginning of my term. My fall term life at college naturally generates excitement, nervousness, and stress. The most important main topics I learned in this course across the semester is money management, time management, and critical thinking skills.

For the past three years, my learning has been predominately influenced by post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. During my AS studies, my attendance in school dropped to 55%. Anxiety prevented me from taking part in: sleepovers, shopping and school trips, group work at school, birthday parties and holidays and as a result, it made me feel excluded from my peers, both academically and socially. However, throughout A-Level I received cognitive-behavioural therapy, which brought an understanding to my triggers. Mindfulness has also helped to alter my thought process and behaviour by teaching me how to zone out and put information into context.

The fundamental foundations of our personality and the lifestyle we live is grounded in our failures of the past, present, and future. We base our decisions in the experiences of the past and those choices lead to our future. The lessons we learn in our failure are what make us grow as people and become better versions of ourselves. I personally have tasted the bitterness of failure many times, it is only after you are out of the pain or embarrassment you can realize that what you went though was not a completely awful ordeal. Through my many graceful highlights I have learned to not make the same mistakes and I have become smarter. There is no such thing as the perfect human being, we are born imperfect and made to make mistakes. It is how we learn to overcome and grow out of hardships. The most deadly failure is the one that does not allow us to experience defeat, it is the failure to take action. If we are too afraid to put ourselves out there and experience new things or be vulnerable we will never experience the full extent of life or what it means to be alive, human even. When we hesitate because we are afraid of rejection, humiliation, pain, or the fear of failure, we are cutting ourselves short of our true potential. We learn from a young age that failure equals shame and discomfort through life experiences but we rarely remember that it is the experience of that failure that allows us to mature.

As this semester slowly comes to an end, it is time to reflect back on the mishaps of the semester, and also, the successes. However, before I reflect, I must first think about the individuals who made it happen in the first place. One of the topics we were given at the beginning of the year was to state something my family taught me that I still find important to this day. Something important my family taught me, and still teaches me--that I still use today--is encouragement and hard work. Throughout my life, my parents have always encouraged me, no matter the circumstance. I could have done poorly on a test, worksheet, or exam, and they would still encourage me to better myself.

This management course class is for assistance students to understand and advanced topics in Management and students to Participate with Multipart of Upcoming Problems over the managerial Roles. From attending this class I get more experience and knowledge about management and how to assist with another. I learn how to discuss decisions with other employee and get results as a good leader. Also, the reading that I have done in this course helps me understand how working with others employee is good or bad. Also, how leadership is important and how electric is over taking the jobs of the human. The causes of today’s economic problem and how to resolve it. Although, how people get manipulated and that affected our diction. Improving the practice of management also is important and to show that how leaders will ever challenge the other leaders or their employee and to be a better leader. Also, I lean poverty and how people describe poverty in difference continent. How the new digital of data sources have increased and recreate and primary controls of underwriters and effected in personal auto insurance. The rise and fall, I also learn how our economic ties to the market. I will talk about mindfulness and millennials relation to economic behavior, education, employment, and decision making. Also, this topic affects me personally because of how I make economic decisions and how I can direct my teenagers in economic decisions.

Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, believed that “human being is a social and political creature, and the one who can live far away from human societies is either a beast or a god.” Plato, another philosopher from ancient Greece also claimed that “the creation of the society is a natural construction. People by nature create societies, and they only achieve its completion inside them.” However, philosopher Kant insists that “human being is a lonely animal that avoids the mob.” Again, De La Croix, the French artist, believes that “people are social human beings who hate their peers.”
