1. When it comes to peer assessments I believe the most important thing is to understand what you are asked to do or talk about in order to avoid going off topic. This is something I learned while studying in Italy. Understand the task and the topic or subject in question; give me, personally the assurance that the person understood the task.
But then, sometimes, there are topics which, are not really specific and gives we student “a free hand “to expatiate or put our focus on a particular aspect of topic in question.
After that being said, the ideas and the organization of the ideas are a big plus, as well as grammar and punctuation. I think after answering or understanding what to do the way you expatiate or re-definite it to your knowledge simply stands for how you see it (your point of view). Then after this comes the way you present it (does it make sense? Can people really understand what you

I would like to also add that English grammar can be tricky, I´m used to the British English and sometimes I think some words are misspelled, but they perfectly right when you switch to the American English.
2. Well, we live in the 21st century, where in almost all over the world there is a freedom of speech and thinking. We all come from different backgrounds, experiences and realities, which I think contributes 85%-90% to personal believes and values. Personally I would not let my own way of seeing things affect my assessment; rather I would be more curious in understanding and knowing other people´s prospective.
So in this case I will give the same neutral feedback, I was going to give even if was to be in support or agreement of what I assessed; making sure the task purpose was reached, grammar and
People need to be understood. Being misunderstood leads to communication barriers. People need to be able to express themselves so that the message reaches the receiver. Different cultures have different ways of doing this, so it is important to realize that communication can be interpreted differently.
Our Session Long Project (SLP) for Module 1 transforms the evaluation essay into a job evaluation. The type of job evaluation used in this SLP identifies the responsibilities of the job and bases the individual’s performance on these responsibilities. What does this mean to the employee; it means that if they understand the responsibilities of their job they are better able to perform it to the satisfaction of the evaluator. However employees who are not informed of their responsibilities can invalidate your evaluation process very quickly and wreck havoc in any organization.
This presentation has informed my knowledge about Ofsted greatly. As a student, I have only ever witnessed my previous teachers and schools being inspected and have never experienced the ‘behind the scenes’ of an Ofsted inspection. By completing this task, I feel that I am now able to understand the process that Ofsted follow in a clearer form and feel that this would be very beneficial towards my professional development. This is because as I aspire to be a primary school teacher, I am now aware of what Ofsted look out for in an inspection and feel that I would be able to implement the knowledge gained into my practice and work ethics.
How would you react to hysteria? Would you join or stay far away from it? In the 1960s, people were accused of being communists. Arthur Miller publicly stated he was a communist. When a was a communist, he use to attend communist meetings. Miller was also on the Hollywood Blacklist because he refused to confess other people that could be potential communist. He was inspired by what had happened in the 1950s and personal experiences. This drew Miller into writing the Crucible. The Crucible was based on some real events, but the story is not non-fiction.
In order to have a happy, successful and fulfilling life, we should emphasis our moralities and values both in our personal life and at work. Taking our values into account especially when we reach a decision could be the most important factor that determines whether we would be happy and successful in our life. There are a variety of tests that are used to verify our morals, perception, values, intelligence or aptitudes and skills to succeed in our life. Self-assessment tests are one of them. Although none of these tests will provide us with a definite answer on what we should do with our lives. We can use them as a tool to generate an idea of our overall future planning. Self-assessment test is best used to assess our moralities, perception and values that help to identify one's personality, interests and skills.

There comes a time in person’s life when their must make decisions that will further go on to impact their life vastly. For many, that decision is whether to further their education or not. For those who do decide to further their education, they must choose which type of schooling is best, college or vocational schooling. Vocational schooling may appeal to those who are looking for an alternative and less expensive form of education. College, the more standard form of education, gives students the ability to have more flexibility since a variety of careers can be open to them from the major they choose. Both forms of education have its advantages and disadvantages, while benefiting the future of the student in the long run.
Self-assessment tests have been around for as long as I can remember. The first self-assessment test I took was when I joined the Navy. I remember thinking what in the world does any of this have to do with joining the military. I soon discovered that it tested more than mental aptitude. It really showed mental, physical, and social traits that one possessed when put in situations that they had no control over. The tests are designed to gauge where one will be when stuck in a situation that they cannot get out of like out to sea on a boat or submarine for six months at a time. These tests, no matter which one you take, are as individual as the person taking them.
Throughout the years certain paradigms have become a big part of my life. Some paradigms are overwhelmingly difficult to change whiles other are long forgotten and overcome. I try new thinking patterns as often as I can, but sometimes it takes a while for me to get rid of my old ways and get used to my new ways. The following paradigms are the hardest to change.
It is quite common for one to understand themselves well, but for everyone else to have no clue about their intentions. This is a very common effect called the “transparency illusion”, as Emily Esfahan Smith explains in her article, “Mixed SIgnals: Why People Misunderstand Each Other”. According to many psychologists, the transparency illusion is “the belief that what [people] feel, desire, and intend is crystal clear to others, even though they have done very little to communicate clearly what is going on inside their minds” (Smith). One person might be angry about something, and thinks that he or she is displaying it very clearly that they don't want to talk to anyone. Whereas, others see a troubled person in need, and try to comfort him or her.
Usually students don't like when I give them feedback because it is a critical aspect of their learning. But the purpose of questioning and feedback is to enhance and strengthen students learning. I usually give feedback after the assessment, it provides information about students knowledge in regard to the assessment. The questioning and feedback will give direction to students on how they accomplish the assessment, what was their strengths and weaknesses and what need to be done in order to have better results.
I strongly believe that the class, HD341 Communication for Empowerment fulfill my goals in taking this class because it is giving me many opportunities to make connection with other classmates. I usually check in by sharing my stories at school, at work, and any issues that I am still concerned. Therefore, verbal communication is an area I frequently use in class to communicate with my peers as well as my professor. I also have active listening my classmate’s stories and have critical thinking to giving feedbacks to them.
Peer pressure is the influence from members of one’s peer group. Peer pressure affect many school aged children, and teenager, because of the desire to want to fit in. Affects of giving into peer pressure can lead to taking drugs, drinking alcohol, and having sex. By researching
Well I guess I’ll start off this paper by being outright honest. I have never done this type of self-assessment exercise. So I’ll start this paper off with what exactly this type of self-assessment is. These types of self-assessments are meant to help show the individual (me) where my strengths lie and also where my weaknesses are as well so that I may try and lean on my strengths while improving on my own shortcomings. Essentially the Johari Window four regions model that we learned about is a great tool for this assessment. The first region is also known as the open area, which essentially means that this is what is known by the person about him/herself and is also know by others. The second region is known as the blind area in which this is information unknown by the individual but is known by others. Which could be behaviors that an individual does but does not realize that they are doing them. The third window is known as the hidden area. This area is essentially information that only you know about yourself and others do not. The fourth area is known as the unknown area. It’s known as that because this is information that you and others do not know about you. It’s when you take a look at these four areas and see your strengths and/or weaknesses are at and if you allow yourself to become open to feedback you then can improve on your own shortcomings and become a better leader.
Overall, I feel that the objectives of the lesson was met as the children were able to sort the animals according to two different attributes and describe how they were sorted. This was achieved by asking the children questions to gauge their understanding and by scaffolding their learning as they attempted to sort the animals both individually and in small groups.
