What Is The Reflection Of Professor Paul Stoddard's Class

COMS 201 has been an interesting, yet somewhat difficult class. In the past I have enjoyed online classes because I can work at my own pace and do my homework and learning when I had the time. When I look back, I have realized how much work I have put into a two credit hour class and this class was not what I was expecting at all. I was thinking the class would be laid back and enjoyable. Sometimes I enjoyed the class, but most of the time this class was a pain. From this class though, I feel that my leadership journey has changed and I have grown in how I view leadership in my daily life. In this reflection, I will discuss my leadership journey with this class, review my journal entries if I saw growth or not, and some advice I would give my future self to help with my work of leadership.

Reading over the outcomes and objectives, how will the skills developed in this class apply to your chosen career or field of study? If you are “undecided,” how will these skills help you in your future in college and in general?

I honestly was expecting to get an A on this class as it seemed an easy one. I have been able to keep a perfect score since I started school a couple of years ago but unfortunately my life got complicated when I accepted the job I have, which recently demanded a lot more traveling, not to mention that I am in the process of start a new business after purchasing a retail store a couple of months ago.

I have always known I love change, but from this class, I learned change is the hallmark of a leader. As John C. Maxwell says in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, “Growth = Change.”The leadership assessments allowed me to understand myself in a new way. Because I am a curious green thinker, I need explanations and answers to understand my world. I tend to see the big picture of a project and my mind motivates me toward something new or improved. I am curious about new opportunities because I easily become bored with routine. Learning I have these characteristics has increased my confidence to pursue future leadership roles in a small to a mid-sized position.

Reflect on what you have learned in this course and discuss how it might influence your work as a professional

AAA course gave me a profound knowledge and helped me in time management. It also gave me a hint how I adapt the college culture and institutional integration. This course covers broad areas. The fixed and growth mind set, creator and victim mindset are some of the topic section that I am very interested to know. The teaching not only gave a chance to pass the course but also to adjust myself in personal management especially on time and resource management. The course also gave me an opportunity to improve my academic skills and to build relationship with my classmates and faculty workers. AAA became a bridge that connected and prepared me for the next advance course .The course showed me how I committed for my goal and dreams.

Concluding I want to add that OL 3050 is a course that has opened my eyes to how far I can go and have boosted my confidence in myself and in Bethel University. This class was methodically thought out and put together very nicely, in a way that I didn’t feel like it was a waste of my time! Thank you.

My goal is to learn as much as I can so that I am equipped to convert my role as the middle manager at my current organization to one that sits at the senior leadership table. I am looking forward to this course developing my critical thinking skills in preparation for my inevitable

This class has been very good for me because the content informed me about three important concepts. The first one is the Visualize Yourself Giving an Effective Speech to prepare yourself. The second one is the Gain Attention and Interest for your introduction. The third one is the Motivated Sequence for the organization.

It would appear that my original theory regarding the applicability and practicality of this capstone was accurate. This course has managed to successfully supplement the knowledge I had previously acquired in other courses. For example, I was familiar with and understood the basic principles of leadership. However, this course has taught me that the ability to lead is not an exact science, but an art and determining how to proceed when faced with uncertainty or a highly volatile situation is an exceptional challenge.

One of the biggest lessons learned from this course is that to be an effective leader, you must have a diverse skillset. I’m not sure if there is any one magical component or characteristic in being a great leader. One influence during my review of the literature was that; although easier for some, I see leadership as something we must continually improve upon. This is in contrast to my belief during my first day of class, when I thought leaders just

To tell the truth, I registered for this class mainly to “develop ideas and express them clearly”. One of my career goals is to become a math professor. So, I see no better way that I can effectively teach my students if I cannot clearly communicate my ideas to them in manner they can understand and retain. Thus, CFAS 2300 could not have been a better resource and I intend to utilize it to the fullest. Hence, my goals for this class are but not limited to acquiring effective communication and public speaking skills and overcoming stage frights in the best possible way. These, I intend to achieve by not only attending every lecture and discussion sessions but to also participate in groups and classroom discussions. I therefore look forward to

Since I want to study in economics, taking these two AP courses will give me a solid foundation for for my future and will greatly help with my higher level coursework. Good communication and leadership skill are also extremely important in this field, and thus I believe that my long history serving in leadership positions as well as being an Eagle Scout helps me. One of the requirements to get the Eagle Scout award it to serve in a leadership position for six months. The same requirement applies to both the ranks below Eagle, Star and Life. In my seven years of being a Boy Scout, I have spent the past four in leadership roles. I started as an Instructor, where I learned the importance of communicating well, and I had to do it fast, as my job was to teach all the new scouts their basic scout skills. I started off terribly, but I had to learn. It was as if I had to learn swimming by immediately being thrown into the deep end. It took a while for me to perfect communicating, but I eventually learned how to do so properly. Boy Scouts has also taught me a great deal about leadership, mainly through the same trial by fire process. Over the past four years, I’ve risen from a Patrol Leader through an Assistant Senior Patrol Leader and to my current position of Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. All these positions, and classes make me confident that I will have the necessary leadership, academic, cooperative, and instructional qualifications to carry out my future goals

Heading into this course, I wasn’t exactly sure what it was about. Aside from reading the description on the KU website, I had no idea what to expect. I thought it would be centered around what would make a good leader, and the things I should do to achieve this. After the first couple weeks, I finally grasped the purpose of this class, and slowly started to work what I was learning into my day to day life. Through this class I have been able to identify what adaptive leadership is and how to apply it to my day to day task as well as how to work within the disequilibrium. I was also given the opportunity to reflect on what I was learning, through journals and amongst my peers through discussion boards, and how I was using my knowledge to identify different challenges I was facing in my life.

After almost completed my first semester successfully her at Arizona State University, I got educated in a variety of subjects from my classes, but the class the inspired my the most and had a great affect in the way I look to my career was the Student Success in Business class WPC 101. I remember the first day of this class where I was required to write an essay about My Sun Devil Store, and from that moment I knew that this class is going to be full of inspiring materials. I have experienced from my first semester her at ASU many circumstances not only challenging but also entertaining with regards to my classes. The biggest takeaway in this semester is finding my strong skills in Math and computer applications, and exploring more about my Supply Chain Management degree as well.
