Today, I presented on my post high-school plans. My plans was going to wilkesboro community college, to become a mechanic. I feel as if I presented well but, I know there were a few things I could have done differently this time around. Some advice I would give myself, would be to practice more before I present. With practice I wouldn’t be as nervous and practice would help me from looking at the powerpoint less than the amount of times that I did. The nerves played a factor at the beginning of my presentation, when I wasn't sure how to lead into my topic smoothly. One thing I would like to congratulate myself for is doubling the time requirement. Another thing I did well at was hiding the fact that I was still a little bit nervous in the presentation.
The presentation was also an impressive experience. I never made a presentation in front of “foreigners” in English before, so I was very nervous, however, the feedback from professor and other students was very important. I used the form, short story, but after the presentation, professor told me that I cannot use short story as form and some students suggested me to use an advertisement to convey my message. My project’s goal was also kind of ambiguous.
As student nurses, I have many goals that would like to achieve upon completion of 150 hours of my capstone course. My plan is to use this opportunity to demonstrate competency skills, and knowledge gained through previous quarters. I have listed seven learning goals that I wanted to achieve during the capstone experience. On my first day of capstone, I have gone over each one with my preceptor and requested from her to provide me with feedbacks, so I can use them as stepping tool to work upon. These goals ranged from critical thinking decision making, culture, growth & development, legal and ethical to clinical competence safety/holistic care, evidence-based practice, and professionalism lifelong learning.
Though I had some strong points in my informative speech, I still feel there was a lot I could improve upon. I could not recognize any vocalized pauses but I noticed that at certain points of speech where I would transition from one point to another, I would push my glasses up. I don’t remember if this was because my glasses were actually slipping down or because I was nervous. Also, after watching my video, I found that in the beginning of the speech I was swaying a lot, but because I was standing behind the table it wasn’t that noticeable. The one major thing I would change is my choice to stand behind the table. It was something I did unconsciously and out of habit of usually speaking behind a podium, and I did not notice I did it until
However, I did notice that there were a few faults in the presentation, one being a fault that I personally consider may have negatively impacted our presentation. It seems to me that I was not able to deliver the presentation to the best of my ability as I had let my nerves get the best of me when talking to the staff. The reason for this was that I was not comfortable with taking on the speaking role that I was given and that there were last minute changes made to my slides right before presenting. Bruner, (1996) stated that the learning process for staff relies on the “meaningful dialogue” that is presented by the presenters. In this case, I think that my speech was not strong enough to grab the audience’s attention, thus not being able to portray my message about what an Ofsted inspection is and what the results from an Ofsted inspection mean. Nevertheless, although I was not able to present to the quality that I had wished, the feedback received was reassuring that I had not done terribly bad. I was able to see myself grow as a presenter as I noticed that my
2015 was a real turning point in my high school career. I finally started working harder in school and started to enjoy it more. Although the enjoyment came right back down, it was still fun while it lasted. My writing however, has greatly changed. SAT #2 was where I really started having fun. “For Susan was a sinner. She smoked Crack Cocaine every day!” (SAT #2, Nowak) That was the SAT journal that made me realize that writing didn't have to be a chore. However the second half of the year was a little different. I think I started to grow lazy. My previously fine-tuned papers were now pretty much rants. “Pink is used anywhere from romantic nonsense to childish obsessions.” (Gatsby Color Analysis, Nowak) For my Gatsby analysis, my writing was all over the place and covered a wide range of topics. Unfortunately it made it sound pretty bad. I am starting to get better and regularly
This essay will explore the authors meaning of reflection, how various reflective styles can benefit the practitioners within their settings, and how important reflection is within Early Years Practice. According to Appleby (2010, p.10), reflection is a generic term which describes various behaviours involving feelings, and thinking about thoughts and experiences, in order to examine issues and develop, new understandings and insights. Reflection within practice allows the practitioner to develop a sense of awareness around their daily activities, and helps them to evaluate how they could evolve these activities further, if the given opportunity was to arise again. Similarly, keeping a reflective journal
I was really able to identify my self-learning skills during my grand rounds presentation. I believe I could have done better with time management, and the overall delivery of presenting the information.
Like every article, there were a few words that I couldn’t understand or comprehend. A few were Skepticism, fraught, Actuarial, correlation, and lucrative. Correlation means having a mutual connection between two or more things. The author used it in a manner of comparing a major of how popular and lucrative it is. Lucrative means to produce a great deal of profit. I came to the assumption of why the author put this in the text because, like I said before, the author had compared two key concepts when it came to choosing college majors.
I had difficulty transferring to TCNJ from my community college. Attending the college was a culture shock for me, because I differed so much from the students in terms of socioeconomic status and interests. I dealt with untreated depression my two years in community college, and when I went away to college, my symptoms only got worse. In addition, a year ago from this April my brother attempted suicide, which I stowed away within me when I went away to college. Going away to college, the fall after that April, meant I could not be aware of his status and what he was doing. This terrified me and I further spiralled downward. In the fall, I went through phases of extreme sadness and extreme happiness. I had difficulty concentrating and my school work became increasingly difficult.
Making a successful public presentation or speech to an audience was a very big task for me before I joined the public speaking class. I was always frightened and very nervous. Since then I now understand the process of making a speech or a presentation including coming up with a topic and from this topic develop the main points of the speech, research, organize my points, revise them, edit and make a magnificent presentation to any audience. People in the audience might sometimes agree or disagree with my opinion or points, it was therefore necessary to communicate my information clearly to the audience without making any judgments since every person was entitled to a different opinion and views about things.
The College Prep course helped me practice how to be confident when it comes to presenting something in front of my peers. For example, the role plays we do during the course helped me improve my weakness which is doing an oral presentation. So far this semester, I have not acquired any good new habits nor broke any bad habits. I am still trying my best to break my bad habits, which is doing my school work last minute since it can affect my way of succeeding in life. Since it's something I've been doing for a long time it will take a while to break it because it is something that I am used to doing every time. Other than that, I have enjoyed writing journals about my student experiences and life goals. Not only that journals are fun to do but
I stared the presentation with introduction the topic , then I move to the next page that shows the structure of the presentation.First, i started to talked about the promotion.I analyzed the the gap which shows how do people know Samsung,then i gave my results of the analysis.Then my partner shows the another two parts which are price and place and i talked about the product.After that we gave some suggestions for each questions.We explained and gave some example to made it clearly.After this,we began to our conclusion, i gave our
Based on one of the few recordings of my speech, I noticed many things I didn 't know before. For instance, I notice the times where I didn’t remember my lines, so I refer back to my notes. If I were to rate myself I would give myself 8 out of 10 because my presentations all met the minimum requirement. Although I still need to work on my extemporaneous delivery skills and writing the attention grabber part of the introduction. The outline helps keep my speech organized but it takes while to write it. I like adding visual aids to my presentations because it makes the slides fun to look at.
Japan is my favorite country. I like Japanese animations, lifestyles and cultures. Studying in Japan is the best opportunity to gain all of these. APU, located at Beppu, is on a mountain so its environment is good for study such as the good atmosphere and beautiful landscape. In my opinion APU is an interesting university that attaches many people to attend. I have three reasons why I want to attend there that are I love Japan, APU is an international university and senior recommend this university.
In the process of completing this coursework, I have realised that every teacher should be all-rounded and equipped with adequate skills of educating others as well as self-learning. As a future educator, we need make sure that our knowledge is always up-to-date and applicable in the process of teaching and learning from time to time. With these skills, we will be able to improvise and improve the lesson and therefore boost the competency of pupils in the process of learning. In the process of planning a lesson, I have changed my perception on lesson planning from the student’s desk to the teacher’s desk. I have taken the responsibility as a teacher to plan a whole 60-minutes lesson with my group members. This coursework has given me an opportunity
