1. I enjoyed the careers course because the course allowed me to learn a lot of valuable information. From this course, I was able to learn more about myself, my interests, ideal career and much more. Each activity we did in class made me learn something new, whether that be about myself or life. From each assignment, I was able to acquire some new knowledge, however, the assignments that I feel I learned the most from were the Who am I presentation and ideal career assignment. The who am I assignment allowed me to take all of my survey results and put it into a presentation, this made understanding my survey results much easier to do. As for the ideal career assignment, it gave me the opportunity to research careers, and look at which career …show more content…
The Who am I presentation and ideal career assignment was the most useful to me because these are the activities that I felt I was able to learn the most from. The who am I presentation consisted of a lot of things such as my learning styles, personality type, knowledge, motivation factors etc. Since the assignment allowed me to take all of the survey results and put it into a short presentation, I was able to understand my results better. The other assignment that I felt was the most useful to me is the ideal career assignment because this assignment allowed me to basically take all of my survey results and use them to research careers to find a career that would be best suited for me. Although the other assignments were also useful I felt that these two assignments were the most useful to me due to the fact that I was able to learn the most from these assignments, and this information allowed me to narrow down possible career …show more content…
Having completed the course I definitely have a better sense of my career path. Coming into the course I had no clue about what I wanted to do in the future, however now that I have completed the course I have a better understanding of what I want to do. The reason why I now have a better sense of my career path is due to all the assignments we had to do in the course.

    Hello, My reason for substituting this course is due to the fact that I have already learned the knowledge and concepts from a course taken from a previous school (ENGL 102 from the Community College of Philadelphia) which satisfy the course objectives for ENGL 202C. With this course, I learned the techniques I need to write an effective technical paper. During this course, I wrote multiple papers which dealt with various aspects of our world today, such as science and technology, social interaction, and economic facets. This gave me an advantage because not only did I know how to write an effective paper in science and technology (the main theme of ENGL 202C), I also wrote on other factors of life which allowed me to broaden my horizon and…

    If I were to select three careers that the inventory suggested I would select school counselor, athletic trainer, and occupational therapist. My highest score on both inventories was in social interest. The results make sense to in terms of the careers suggested for this field but personally I do not see myself as a very socially oriented person. I actually have social anxiety and feel that this at times limits me in my ability to socially involved in many situations. It never occurred to me that the careers that best fit me are so closely related to something that is so difficult and anxiety provoking for…

    I am still unsure of exactly what I want to do. This assignment helped me out with that decision. It forced me to take a more in-depth look into the professions I was thinking about entering. When we think about what we want to do with our lives we don’t always look truly into the specifics of it, but rather how we think it will impact our lives. Before this project, all I knew for certain was that whatever I would do with my life it would be people oriented.…

    I looked at the results and saw investigation was the highest scoring. I went back to see what it was and It turns out it is figuring out the issues and how to solve them. That was one of the things that interested me so it made sense. Also, the second highest was social, which fit in with the part of me that likes helping others. Not only do the higher scoring ones fit me, but the lower ones make sense because…

    I will be sociologically analyzing death as a cultural phenomenon, stage of the life course, and personal experience. The first day in SOCY 4131, we talked about death. In a “Life Course” class, one may be surprised death is brought up so early. The ironic thing about the life course is that living with a “good” death in mind usually reflects a good life. I will further explain what this means throughout the essay.…

    I used the CDP activities to assess my current skills working on those areas that I can further develop, areas I am weak in as well as skills I assumed I would need in the future. So, in doing that I could identify my specific learning needs, based on expectations of my future job role, performance, professionalism, and career aspirations. One of the many CDP events I attended which I found to be important is researching company information as how would I work for someone not knowing anything about the company or its values so from this one I learnt the importance of knowing things about a company before doing applying for a job or doing an interview in the future. Knowing this means I have a better chance of getting the job because I would know about the company as a start as I would have researched and covered everything I need to know but also, I would have an idea as to what the company is looking for in a potential possible candidate. To do my research on companies I was taught to use some databases which was helpful and will continue to be helpful in the future some of these are Mintel or keynote, business source complete and lexis library.…
