Personal Statement And Reflection In The Introduction To Language Class

Improved Essays
Reflection With completing the last assignment term in the Introduction to Language class, I am able to benefit from a variety of new things from the class, as well as refresh my memory on things that I already knew, just needed a reminder about. I enjoyed the clear and basic knowledge introduced in this course about the language .However, there was a huge work load which we did not face even in our major courses. Two exams, an essay, a presentation, and many other assignments, but what the great news was that they were not tough, but still many and needed much time. The objectives were simple and the way to reach them was clear. Also, what helped us was that I understood nearly 80-90% of the material in the class which is evidently due to the great way the teacher used to explain the lessons and the numerous …show more content…
The essay was in our hands, and during the research we watched some videos to help us understand the topic and we collected at that time some pictures and tables to be used later in the presentation. Therefore, it was neither difficult nor it took much time. We had only to organize our ideas and to prepare a theme and a design for the presentation. A colorful and attractive ones. I benefited from the resources posted on Moodle about the hints to have a great presentation, and I tried to apply as much as possible of them. If I had more time I could have prepared more for the presentation, but it was fine I had my sources, and used my own way with some improvements. I explained my ideas using the slides, writing on the bored, and even gestures. I think that we were successful in grabbing the attention of the audience, but if we had more time during the presentation we could have introduced more interesting information. However, it was in general a successful presentation especially that it was the first

    For Week 5, as the one who presented, I will reflect on the presentation from the preparation, presentation and Q&A part. But I will focus on the Q&A part and analyze this experience in detail. I did not choose the topic of presentation until 4 days before it, which turned out that most interesting topics had already been chosen by my classmates. Though time was limited for me to prepare for the presentation, I felt calm and prepared my presentation in an organized way. To evaluate the preparation, the powerpoint could have been elaborated in a better way and more detailed information could have been included if I had started on the preparation early.…

    Coming into English 101, I really did not know what to expect. This was my first college writing class so I had no idea what it was going to be like. In high school I would have considered myself to be a decent writer, not the best or not the worst. I would never impress anyone with my writing skills but I could still come across as educated on my topic.…

    How would you change your presentation to improve it for next time? (3 marks) I believe that our presentation was presented very well, although we could have done much better if there was more time. I believe that the best part of our presentation would be the statics and the really life incidents that occurred in our city to prove that having this curfew could protect the safety and the education of many students. I would change this presentation to fit the time limit since I did not get to say everything that I had prepared.…

    Baylor Personal Statement I could hear conversation coming from inside the room. Confused and eager, I positioned myself behind the door. Why was no one excited? The faint murmur of the next sentence cut straight through my heart, “Due to the lack of oxygen during your son’s birth, there is a high probability of him developing disorders during his childhood.” This couldn’t be happening to my baby brother.…

    I personally have noticed many changes throughout this course. I mostly noticed how now I analyze my jobs more with my coworkers, bosses and myself. I have one job that I absolutely love and another one that I do not care for very much, I did not really understand why because I get along well with my coworkers and higher ups. As our course went on and I started to understand business some more I then realized why there were certain things that were shaping my views about my jobs. One big thing that I noticed was the team work at my jobs.…

    I was really challenged by this assignment due to the fact that I enjoy structure with my papers and writing. Once I decided on a public service announcement poster I could easily plan and organize all of my thoughts an ideas. I had to create my own structure and layout for my project which is something I have never done so at first I found it rather challenging. However, in the end with the lectures and activities in class I was able to create a PSA poster series that was successful in getting my point across to my specific audience. Now writing my final paper for this class I understand how I struggled with the different assignments in different ways.…

    Have you ever pondered the idea of existing solely for yourself? We exist in life individually, but when we share our stories with others we create the possibility of someone else being able to relate. In a way, sharing my personal journey statement can bring me together with others who see the same vision as myself. I know this isn’t the kind of story you’d expect to hear, but I can guarantee you this is a story that needs to be heard. My journey of self-development has taken scale on a variety of experiences.…
