I am currently enrolled in your History 330 online course and I need clarification on a couple of things. I was just wondering if the book by DuBois and Dumenil is the only required text. Also, I think it would be helpful if all of the reading assignments were listed on the syllabus. For example, you show TWE chapter 1 and 2 for the first week, but do not continue that onto the follow weeks. For example in week two TWE chapter 3 is required reading since there is a homework assignment due. I hope these questions and comments reach you well. Have a nice
...ous coursework to fit the need of the capstone is what I have included in order to get the most beneficial information from this SPCC assessment. With ALU continuing to maintain full accreditation and the SPCC continuing to be an efficient, and ever evolving course, it would be wise and beneficial to keep it up to date. As I have learned throughout the semester, conducting an assessment is not a simple task, but if careful planning takes place then successful assessments and redevelopments can come to completion. I believe that ALU has done a great job in planning and getting the SPCC established; now it must keep the bar high. I did not realize such a great deal went into the assessment of a 40-hour course. This is simply a great example that all aspects and knowledge is important and necessary in order to successfully complete a project of this degree.
This course is not a course where you don’t need to put in any effort. It is time-consuming and it involves a lot of reading. One of the advice that I would give future students is time management. Always plan ahead and make sure to read all the assigned readings to get a better understanding of what the question is really asking about. Furthermore, this course is not a course where you regurgitate facts, instead, it is a course that provokes your thinking, and forces you to think outside of the box. Each of the questions allows you to really dig deep into the stories and find similarities and differences across cultures. Another advice that I would give future students is to ask questions when they do not understand the material because by asking one can learn.

“Each year, when hockey season starts, Mr. Allen walks a little faster, holds his chin a little higher, and smiles a little brighter.” A week into our season- Saturday, December 5th, 2015 – it was game day, we would be traveling to a school in Massachusetts. There was 17 of us on the team; 3 freshmen, 6 sophomores, 1 junior, 7 seniors. Majority of us were at the school because of the head coach, Ed Allen. He was the type of man you wanted to play for, work your hardest for, but more importantly he was the type of man you wanted to be around, to talk to, and to listen to the very few but wise words he said. His biggest thing was being relentless and being selfless; to have a what can I give, not a what can I get attitude.
When a teacher from Tryhard high school decides to voice her/he’s distaste about the success of the students from the previous year in mathematics, a few students decide to take matters into their own hand. Using the scores of the previous years they started to analyses the documents and see if the teacher was wrong.
Last week at practicum was a time of renewed energy. Megan and I had a meeting with one of our supervisors and we discussed our experiences, thoughts, and concerns regarding the placement thus far. Additionally, our other supervisor completed his IPT comments, leading us to have a productive conversation about how our goals are being met and what needs to happen during term two to ensure that we achieve the remainder of our goals. Having this conversation before our mid-term evaluation was very meaningful, and at this point, I think that my practicum placement is as good as it could be. Moreover, I feel very validated by the level of support I have received from my supervisors and how they have taken our feedback of the agency seriously. Seeing my suggestions be authenticated and incorporated into the volunteer orientation makes me realize that my contributions will have a lasting impact on the community. The primary changes that I want to see are workers approaching clients from a strengths perspective instead of from a deficit one, and more mental health training for volunteers. After learning about reframing the way people think about issues during the cognitive behavioural therapy lecture in SOWK 310, I feel more prepared to give concrete strategies and examples of how workers at the agency can empower clients by using a strengths approach. In this context, reframing will aid the agency in seeing problems as opportunities
The following is a discussion of three distinct approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of major Depression. These approaches are person-centered therapy, Gestalt therapy and reality therapy.

On September 15th at 2000, I had a counseling session with MIDN 2/C Jones (he asked that I not use his name) regarding his occasional absence from Morning Quarters Formation. I started the sit down session by first addressing the reason why I had asked to talk to 2/C Jones and why I thought it was important. I then asked 2/C Jones what his reasons were for sometimes not showing up to Morning Quarters Formation. 2/C Jones explained that he usually goes, but when he does not it is normally because he was up late working on homework the night before and needed rest. He brought up a supporting fact about how the Commandant keeps insisting that the Midshipmen need more sleep, which I agreed with him is true. I then asked him if he felt that formation was important or not. He began to explain why it was not that important to him, and then after he finished, I gave the reasons why it is important, especially as a significant leader to the 4/C in the Company
This week, I followed up with the girls who went to the activity the District offered last Friday. We talked about their goals and the things they are doing in order to meet them. I emailed the lady who did the speech and we are trying to set up a second meeting, so the girls can talk to her again. This week, I had to deal with a lot of drama with another group of girls. I believe since it is April and the school year is almost over, they are under a lot of stress and that is the reason they keep getting in trouble. Last week, the student got their grades report, so I went over their grade and we worked on the grades they need to improve. I like the fact that the students are not looking for me just because their emotional problems, but also
Throughout my semester in Washington D.C., I have had to bring in more of my psychology education from my major to my internship. With being at the American Psychological Association this semester, I gained a better knowledge on what goes into the research they do & how to apply different concepts & aspects of the field to the topics that they study. For the entirety of my internship, my research skills have improved from what they were prior to starting the program. Another skill that I wanted to work on during my internship was my communication skills, whether they be via phone call, talking person to person, or via email. I do believe that by communicating with a variety of people within the APA office or contacting people via call or email that I have sharpened my skills in effectively getting my message across to those I am communicating with.
Ways to check on relevance would include looking at different discussions of the work on the net, your teacher’s introduction, or looking for descriptions of the time period online.
Professor’s Comments: This is a good example of a book review typically required in history classes. It is unbiased and thoughtful. The Student explains the book and the time in which it was written in great detail, without retelling the entire story… a pitfall that many first time reviewers may experience.
New students Madison Williams (8) and Salma Hoxha (7) agreed to speak with me about their experiences applying into and attending Spence this year. I asked them a few questions about their transitions and how they feel about Spence so far. They reflected on the process of applying into Spence, saying that they had many tasks to complete before actually getting into the school. Both students agreed that Spence has a welcoming community that allowed their transition to be relatively easy. Their favorite things about Spence so far are the inviting and warm community making them feel comfortable and the fun activities and experiments done during classes. Opinions on the workload at Spence did not vary, both students saying that the workload was
