Seven dirty words

For my community builder I decided that I wanted to interview someone from Freshman Class Council. This is when I reached out to the president, Darren Johnson Jr. to set up an interview. The reason I wanted to interview him and the Freshman Class Council in general was, that they do so much for the freshman class and that impressed me from the day I got on campus. Through my interview I found out a lot of information about what Freshman Class Council is and what they do. On September, 27 I got…

I chose the text “A Very Clever Possum” (Joseph, 1999) because it is one that students may be able to relate to, because possums are fairly common in New Zealand (dependent on location) and it provides opportunities to develop discussions before, during and after the text has been read, which will “enhance the students understanding of what they are reading” (Bidulph, 2002, p.1). I believe that an effective guided reading lesson can be produced from this story. I have chosen to introduce the…

specific options, the choices are not very diverse therefore the option “Other” is offered providing they give details. There is only one instance where an open-ended question is used. Open-ended questions allow the respondents to answer in their own words. This asks the respondent to “Please add any other comments you want to make about this doctor.” The fact that the survey includes more close-ended questions than open ended questions may indicate that the person conducting the survey is…

For the philosophical dialogue I asked the philosophical question: “Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place?” I asked this question mainly because in science, scientists have to take risks and often fail many times before they succeed. The scientific world would be very different if scientist never attempted to do half of the things they did. Trial and error are key factors in scientific discoveries. My thoughts about this subject before I entered the dialogue…

Recently I discovered a new love for speaking to and learning about the lives and opinions of other people. I had been involving myself in more quality conversations with anyone from teachers to relatives, and each discussion left me wanting to replicate it with as many people as possible, but how would I incorporate this love into something useful? Fortunately, this discovery tied perfectly to an option on the list of ideas for my History 104 final project. For this reason, I chose to…

The focus on the importance of word-of-mouth advertising was a major strength as provided by Jonah Berger. Throughout his book, Berger constantly tied in how STEPPS tied into and is relevant to word-of-mouth advertising. Contagious Why Things Catch on written by Jonah Berger main argument is focused on introducing ideas that would make a product or idea flourish, or simply about “what makes things popular.” A product or idea is able to flourish because it is remarkable, something worth talking…

For this assignment, I interviewed Felicia Low, a Program Advisor at the School of Public Health. This interview taught me a lot about myself and my interpersonal communication skills when it comes to communication on a one-on-one basis. Prior to the interview, I was a bit nervous since I did not know Mrs. Low personally and never communicated with her face-to-face. I prepared to conduct the interview in a way that it would feel like a normal conversation and not a regular interview. For…

question, are we digging deep enough? Jesus says, As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away… As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in…
