I am writing this essay in-order to reflect upon the experiences, that I have experienced during the 7 months that I have been studying the Work based live case study module (2509) and how these experiences have impacted upon my approach towards my communication, team working, problem solving skills and other factors which were endemic within the module. After completing the first year module New enterprise journey, which is the module prior to Work based live case study. I expected the work based live case study to be similar. However I found out this as correct in a sense, however the Work based live case study module took the theoretical aspects from the first year and focused upon their application. I felt this was very useful, firstly because it was invaluable experience, which I would not have gained from a case study/text book as the example/situation was a real life simulation. Secondly the live case study experience will have an impact on my life as it will aide my search for a job in the future, this will be because it will look good on my Curriculum Vitae in terms of transferable skills. Meeting a real life entrepreneur in Tricia pedlar of Strategic spur and learning how her business ran on a day to day basis was hugely enlightening. This was important to me as it gave me and my team a chance to experience what it was like to be a consultant, I felt this was the highlight of the work based live case study module and the most memorable experience. ... ... middle of paper ... ... To conclude looking at the pros and cons i would say that i have not enjoyed this module mainly because that there was low attendance which meant that the tutorials were not as interactive as they were originally intended to be and could have been however I felt that there was support at hand from tutors which i could have used to get more out of this experience. Although I have not enjoyed the module I feel I am a better student and person as a result of the experience so I would recommend this module to other future level 2 students because of its practical nature and the way it makes you think outside the box.

    When I was working at long term care, I was being a part of an incident which gave me a life time lesson. I was taking care of ninety-nine years old lady Mrs.Chang. I was assisting Mrs. Chang in transferring from bed to wheelchair. I feel Mrs. Chang physically so weak so I need someone’s sustenance. I was looking for someone and I saw a nurse in next resident’s room who was dressing a wound of resident Mr. Roger. I call the nurse to give me a hand. She rushes into Mrs.Chang room without washing her hand or using hand sanitizer to assist me in transfer. I was jolted for a moment and couldn’t say anything to the nurse. Then I felt it was too late to say anything to the nurse.

    This course has taught me many things. I was not aware that there was so much information to learn about communication, but I have been pleasantly surprised. This course has taught me better ways to communicate with my significant other, my family, my friends, my co-workers, as well as with strangers. I have greatly enjoyed each assignment because they challenged me to examine the flaws within my own communication style. I hope to employ the skills and tools I have learned in this course and apply them to all my future communications.

  • Reflection Paper on Foodcorp Simulation

    I really enjoyed the simulation. On the simulation day, I have a chance to strengthen the team-player skills. Although I sometimes still lack confidence to speak up due to my English skill, I believed I have improved my confidence in some level. As I can notice that I am more willing to share the ideas on the activities in this class than the previous classes. Moreover, I have learned from this simulation that it is not necessary to have only one correct choice for the ideas. Different people have different ideas depending on their perspective. Therefore, there could be many solutions for a problem, but to select the best choice; we need to consider many factors and the majority opinions. The simulation also allows me to understand how the real organizations work. It is impossible to efficiently manage the organizations without understanding the four frames.

    My thought about this course that I was expecting so far , was that it’s going to be easy. But a little bit challenging and it’s exactly what I thought. It’s also very organized, to make it easier to find all the weekly content, discussions, assignments and quizzes. They have the categories labeled so you can know what items go with the lesson. The most useful success/study strategies I applied during week 1 was to first read over the lesson and objective , also the announcement to get an head start of the lesson to be able to know what to expect to learn. After I read of objectives and the rest, I will take the knowledge practice problem to learn what I may know and don’t know to work on. The most interest concept covered so far all of week

    Self-reflection journals have provided me with a solid learning opportunity and have allowed for me to grow and develop as a writer. The journal writings allowed me to reflect on the different course components that I received in this course. The biggest course goal the self-reflection journals helped me to achieve is they allowed me to engage in informal writing to analyze and critically reflect on the lessons I learned as well as my implementation of them. They proved to be a valuable tool for me, because they added a process to my learning experience that I would not have engaged in otherwise. For example, usually when I learn material I am then asked to implement or demonstrate its use in some fashion whether it be by a writing assignment, quiz, etc.
