learned much more, and looking back, this first semester has made me more interested in
In C.D. Wright’s complex investigation called One Big Self, the author twists around different views and social norms of convicts by exposing the side of prisoners that not many think about. This piece proves to be a culture shock, because of the twisted message of prisoners having a soft side,
Observation through mind maps: case study on self, analysis and application I have titled this document with consideration of the audience I am writing to. They would not be too familiar with any particular discipline
One strategy to be a successful student is to follow directions. Students think they’re experts on following until they’re told how to follow them correctly. Following direction has to be motivated no forced onto a student. The process of following directions can often be misunderstood and is much harder than it seems.
One area I have improved on throughout this semester is my thinking and writing process. Before this semester, my thinking process was to wait until the end of
When it came to reading and writing, it was my least favorite out of all the subjects I was taking. Reason being is because I felt I read to fast and could not grasp what I was reading. Then when I needed to write my paper I could not remember what I needed to write causing me to have to go back and re-read. It was time-consuming and frustrating, but this semester along with my AAA class in my first semester, taught me some good note taking skills as well as how to write my papers more efficiently. This semester is coming to an end here in about two weeks and I feel that I take more time to read and understand along with making sure to edit, edit, and edit some more with my college level papers. It is important for me to succeed now in school more than I have felt before and I think it is because I have been given more tools and resources to succeed. Over the course of this semester I have definitely gained some new knowledge on reading and writing that have made me stronger in these areas. One area I know I strengthened in was editing my
Being a Peer Leader for a first-generation class has been very impactful for the students. During IDS 310 I would hear how many classes were not talkative and would not participate much in class but that was very much different in my class. These students were wanting to learn about
3. Do I like to work with mechanical things? Yes. When I was in high I am a fast worker; I easily find ways on how to get things done. Basing from the comments I have earned from my supervisor during my On-the-job training, she said that I am an accurate and fast worker.
This semester in Mrs. Nelson’s class was a very interesting one filled with many interesting and unique assignments. One major assignment for this semester is this Writer’s Portfolio. When I was first told about this “Portfolio” I shrugged it off as it nothing, but I quickly had to come back
Self-Analysis The first section of this paper will contain a self-analysis utilizing self-assessments, class discussions, assignments, and the assigned reading materials. The self-analysis portion of this paper will contain several important topics that we discussed during class along with my assessment of how I view myself with respect to these topics with the goal of identifying the deficiencies and gaps that I see. The action-plan portion of this assignment will contain the framework for turning the deficiencies that I have identified into strengths through constant practice and patience on my journey to level three leadership. The self-analysis portion will hope to determine the “why” I did not get the manager position currently available
Last semester, the classes I think I've grown the most in are English and cultural geography because I payed a lot more attention close to the end of the first semester. The Habits of Heart and Mind that I have improved on, or begun to use more are responsibility and think. How I have gotten better at these habits are by paying attention in class. What continues to be a struggle for me is math and biology because I do not seem to understand to topics very quickly. What I am most proud of myself for accomplishing is passing my geography exam because it's the only exam I passed for finals. Something I wish I could go back and do differently is study a lot more for my English, math and biology exams because if I would have studied more I would
In an attempt to find self-validation and because of the need to understand my own existence, I made a deep analysis of my ancestral
Self-discovery Throughout one’s lifetime changes in a person’s views toward life are inevitable. Those changes can be seen as either positive or negative based on the experiences a person goes through. Some changes are seen as internal while others are seen as external. For instance, in Monkey by Wu Cheng-en and Candide by Francois-Marie Arouet De Voltaire, both authors are using their characters to portray self-discovery by having them go through a series of obstacles. As a result the characters changed their attitude toward life through the many obstacles that they had to undergo. Self-discovery is an essential part of a person’s life which can be seen internally or externally through a person’s characteristics and
To begin with, I have learned the steps one is required to take before research can even be conducted. One of the hard parts that I was able to practice multiple times this semester was asking a research question. I never realised before how difficult it could be to originate a research question. It’s important to come up with a question you are personally interested in answering. It is also important to ask a question that is answerable. I still struggle with formulating a research question, but thankfully as a group we were able to come up with questions we were interested in, and were able to answer.
I did learn a lot at first semester. First and the most important things that I think I learned is that time-planning which helped me organized the time well which dragged me out of the mass life, at least I know what I need to do and never forget and late for the homework. In my opinion, organized time well is important no matter on study or in lives which can always inform us what we need to do and what time is available for us to do other things that make life more orderly. Besides, I also learned how to use resource that afford by school. Before the facilitator told me those resources, there had so many things that I have no idea who could help me. After knowing this, I felt like open a door that to a continent life for me. I have to say that there have so many resources for me in school, I can do anything with the help of them and which really makes me feel easy
