8.11.12: It was reported to me by a student that Miss. Gomes placed him in a seat at the front of the room facing the wall were he could not see the board. He told me that when he moved to see she told him to not look at the board and could he not hear. After speaking with Mrs. Gomes she told me she did place him at the desk by the wall but he did not need to see the board she was just talking to the class. I contacted mom and let her know of the situation and that we would be keeping an eye on…
In the last five years, I have worked as a CNA, an LVN at a nursing home and clinic, and an RN in the CVICU. All of these experiences have greatly contributed to my solid nursing foundation. As a CNA, I enjoyed the direct interaction and knowing my patients on a personal level. As an LVN, I handled up to 35 patients while supervising the CNAs. I also performed wound care for up to 100 patients when I worked as a Wound Care Nurse.…
After today’s class discussion, I was able to learn new and different ways to take data. It was interesting to see how similar and different recording data can be depending on the goal and disorder. For example, last semester I did not find it as hard to track data for my accent modification client. However, this semester I have changed the way I keep track of data during sessions. My client is working on basic age appropriate sounds mainly because she exhibits a lot of phonological processes.…
During the first half of the semester for ENC 1102, I believe that my writing skills have improved from ENC 1101; some of which are getting to page length, correctly citing a source, and incorporating how a quote is related to my argument. I still have some errors within my writing that I have not quite figured out how to tackle. Some concepts that I have not gotten down to a tee must be coming up with a thesis statement, basic grammar errors, introducing quotations, and repetition. I have also learned how to distinguish the difference between a personal essay and an argumentative essay with first hand on the two types and how why my grade differed from essay one and two.…
I have successfully completed all of the requirements of the student internship program for COSC 494 – Spring 2015. For the last 32 weeks and 1280 working hours, I have been working as an Assistant Project Manager for Imperial Construction in Weatherford, Texas. My primary working location was at 400 I-20 West Suite 200 Weatherford, Texas 76086. I began my internship on June 1st, 2015. While here, I have learned how to properly review and administer submittals, requests for information (RFIs), as well as properly communicate with project architects and owners.…
6. Honestly I am beginning to see an improvement in my writing. Overtime I have made less mistakes in my writing as well as understand my assignments. Therefore these changes allow me to construct stronger sentences and that is when the skills I learned manifest in my writing.…
Throughout this whole quarter, I would say that I have learned a lot in this class. Not only that I learned what is in the syllabus but also the importance of being able to apply my understandings on a problem. I believe that the instructor did a great job in addressing the learning outcomes in this class by helping us in understanding the concepts that we need to learn in order complete this course. One of the learning outcomes of this course is that each students should be able to describe, interpret and predict the propagation of energy via waves, using applied conservation of energy principles. Before this class, I have learned about the law of conservation of energy in PHYS221 with Micheal Greiner.…
RC1 Reaction Comment Lorrie Thomas, The first day of class was so informative and I experienced emotions from surprise, interest, fear, humor, sadness, etc., as explained in this reaction comment. One point of discussion, which surprised me, was how much I was unaware of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) mission. I have said for the past 2 years that I would like to work for DHS.…
Curanderismo has been a presence in my life since I was very young. Growing up in a small community in Northern New Mexico ensured that I was exposed to traditional medicine and alternative forms of spirituality. This class was not my first exposure to curanderismo, though many of the readings and videos helped clarify and explain many of the elements of curanderismo that had been present in my life, but had not been explained. Curanderismo is just as much of a form of cultural expression as it is a form of traditional healing. Personally, curanderismo is a link to my cultural and family history, helping to continue traditions that my family has had for generations.…
Before taking SGST 200 class, I had a very narrow view of sexualities and gender’s problems, but I was fine with that for such a long time. Even when I decide to take this class, I wasn’t expecting to change or have a whole new view of problems like racism, sexism, and homophobia. In SGST200, I learned that there is nothing wrong with being different from others, we should be proud of ourselves and be respectful to others. We can’t change the biological diversity; everyone is different since they are born and they have rights to choose what they want to be.…
Class #1 No readings (yet) Course introduction and overview I am extremely excited about PACS 331 and the content that we are going to cover throughout the term. I’ve always been interested in trauma healing and hope that after the course I will be more knowledgeable about identifying trauma and about how to help those who have experienced or are experiencing it. I personally think that the idea of these journals is a great learning tool. Taking the time to reflect on learning is something that often is tossed aside until dreaded midterms and finals where the lessons are required to be absorbed, usually at a thoughtless and rushed pace.…
Over the course of studying E214 I have thought greatly about my own practice working as an HLTA in a mainstream primary school, where I mainly work with children that experience barriers to learning. These barriers are due to the children having special educational needs or due to having English as an additional language. I now question whether the children I work with are part of a system that has created othering and if through them being othered they included as fully as possible or are they still subject to exclusion through the barriers they experience when accessing the national curriculum or through their progress not being as high as expected by society. (online unit 17) The focus of education appears to be about the grades and progress…
The course AFAS 160 D1 is my first online class, and until now I still felt lucky to choose this class as one of my general education classes, because it gave me a great opportunity and an eye-opening experience about learning the African American Culture which I have never learned before and also gave me a chance to learn online. Describing this course to someone else, I would say this class is interesting and if you want to learn this class well, you need to prepare the Voice Thread and read the book carefully. To be honest, making videos on Voice Thread gave me a unique experience. I still remembered the first time I made a video on Voice Thread how nervous I was, I was afraid to have different ideas with other students and worried if they disagreed with me what should I do?…
These courses are a mix of face-to-face and online learning that requires a certain amount of face-to-face class meetings paired with online course work. This is a great option for first-time online students and those that want a taste of what online learning is…
Many online adult learners are older, working adults with many responsibilities and distractions in their lives (Palloff & Pratt, 1999). Online learners may be new to online learning and have some hesitation about their ability to return to school, master the online environment, and succeed in their courses (Conrad & Donaldson, 2004). Despite potential difficulties, a self-directed learning environment allows learners to have input into their own learning goals (Hanna et al. ,2000) and this can enhance the value of education for learners (Palloff & Pratt,…
