Not all academic classes have been easy for me. Math continues to challenge me each year, I have gone the extra mile to continue to challenge myself in this area and seek additional assistance when necessary.…
In conclusion, I am still feeling a tad bit nervous about this class, however I will apply some of the techniques that Dr. Shore suggest and hopefully come out on the other side of these seven weeks, a math…
Ms. Williams said that she spoke with you regarding my summer semester. Meal plan is not available for the summer and therefore cannot be billed into my student account, however, shouldn't the scholarship still cover it? What about the books? If the scholarship cannot cover them, that's fine.…
On 8/9/17 I was contacted by Chesaning Rehab. Ms. Perez had an issue with her abdominal wound. There was continued bleeding after a wound vacuum change. She also had her blood drop so she was sent to the hospital.…
Until very recently, I have had little to no knowledge or contact with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island culture and heritage. My knowledge came from sections of high school history classes. Before entering ABST100, I had a broad understanding on the history of colonization, Indigenous Australians themselves, and on Indigenous Identity. However, over the duration of both Week 1’s tutorial and lecture, I quickly noticed that the course content for Introducing Indigenous Australia was very different from my other subjects, where it allowed me to gain an exceptional amount of knowledge and broaden my views on Indigenous Australia and Indigenous Australians.…
I really enjoyed this week’s assignments. Specifying goals and objectives have always been something I have enjoyed, since being introduced in a research course at the undergraduate level. I also enjoyed creating the line graph and utilizing subscripts and superscripts. Chapters 3 and 4 have been my favorite chapters thus far. Learning new things can be fun!…
Discussion & Reflection Identify in detail an ethical dilemma that you have had with a colleague or classmate. Use the same guidance as provided for the discussion questions. I work for an agency that serves low-income families in the High Desert. The program services children ages ranging from 18 months to 5 years old. The families we served come from diverse backgrounds and many children have been in foster care.…
Although I have not been contacted by anyone from the school, I have been told they were interested in having me fill a long term sub position after graduation. Staff from BSIS have been in contact with the Mrs. Blanton, the assistant principal, and Mrs. Scruggs, but I have not been contacted other than the observation. On Wednesday morning the reading coach observed me teach math and reading for almost two hours. This was one of the most unusual mornings of the entire school year. During this two-hour time period the class phone rang three or four times, there were five or six interruptions from people knocking on the door to pull students out for intervention or to climb the rock wall because they sold enough items during the fundraiser.…
For my final portfolio, I chose to revise a shorter essay, “Potential Ramifications of a Trump Presidency,” and a longer essay, “Assignment 7: Finding Place Research Project.” I chose these two essays specifically because of their differences. The former is shorter, more informal, and includes more of my thoughts and opinions. The latter is a longer research paper, and thus is more formal and less biased as I attempted to give a brief history of gentrification and its impacts on East Liberty.…
The final four Thursday evening SUST lectures were successful conclusions to a year of interesting, compelling and self-shaping lectures as a part of the SUST 1000/1001 classes. Again, the different backgrounds of the presenters, along with some dynamic presenting styles, kept the lectures engaging and relevant to a variety of aspects of the SUST program and my life. Despite the different topics, I found that all 4 lectures touched upon the idea of communities, as being central to sustainability, over current values of capitalism. The values of learning, sharing and growing (though not always economically) are imperative within and beyond the confines of communities when it comes to making significant change. As I near the end of this year of studies, I am leaving with this sense of the importance of community, of working together, as key when looking at a sustainable future.…
Short Term 12 was a very interesting movie. It had hints of being realistic, but with aspects where you knew it was a movie. It’s about a group of workers who work in a foster care residential facility setting. The main character, Grace, deals with her own personal struggles while she supervises the children at the facility. I have a short bit of experience at a facility like Short Term 12 in some aspects; I can see where parts of the movie are realistic and where are some are an exaggeration because it is a movie.…
During this session, the group members were introduced to the different stages of a relapse. Members were educated on the emotional, mental and physical stages of relapse. Group members were asked to provide examples of each relapse and what steps are being taken to prevent another relapse. The client was oriented x 3.…
As I began this assignment, I found it difficult to recognize when I was having negative thoughts. I decided to track my thoughts over the course of spring break. I began recording my thoughts as spring break began at Fort Stewart in Georgia. I tracked my thoughts as the week continued.…
Even though mathematics captured my interest back in my high school years with its complexity and beauty, college classes and Mu Alpha Theta have only fed my desire to learn more. Discovering the countless applications of mathematics and how it is a fundamental language of all sciences amazed me and opened my eyes to the creativity that is possible through mathematics. Furthermore, discussing mathematical topics and problems with fellow Mu…
The concepts delivered throughout the management problem-solving course have provided me with valuable simulated real-life experiences which can be applied in my everyday work life as a HR Administrator with aspirations of progressing my career. The course delivery was such that as a student, I was able to use my existing knowledge and skills, in addition to that of my peers, to analyse and explore complex organisational problems. This course has challenged the way I think and deepened my understanding of the problem-solving process, which has enabled me to perceive issues from new perspectives, I once would not have considered. Additionally, it has also allowed me to make explicit and authentic connections between the course content and my…
