I would say independently I was able to trust to an extent that what I was doing was correct and my results. I did find myself comparing and sharing with others to stay on the safe side and also found I had to restart quite a lot of times due to error until I got it which was time consuming and used time which I did not really have to use. I can say that I think a vast majority of my results would be correct and right and only a few to be a little off. I came to realise that working independent is good but I would say that I would work better in a team as I am able to compare and have help from others. So a future improvement of being better at independent work and making sure I fully understand something before I start so that if mistakes do get made then I can understand why and what to do better next time. …show more content…
I also learned from discussing with my teacher who went to university for chemistry how to use certain pieces of equipment and also how to improve in what i'm doing, I found this important as this expand and help my knowing and my knowledge. I must say as well I did not realise how important it was as well to make sure that the area that I was working in was clean. Now understanding that having glassware left right and center scattered on the desk and everything untidy really does not work in my favour and leads to incidents and possible wrong results and other things. When I first started I did as possibly stated above have any past experience with anything in which we were going to do with ended with tme having to lean new things which needed concentration and listening which I did but not as good as I should have. I think that a lot more focus and listening would have been more beneficial and could have ended with fewer mistakes and
Consider how the natural development of narrative techniques in George Orwell’s 1984 creates a theme of individualism verses state. What was the point in writing such an obvious theme, since a dystopia is the prime example of an imperfect world? He uses extremely well-developed techniques to demonstrate the dystopian society. Specifically, Orwell uses symbols as well as the setting to thoroughly contribute to the idea of a totalitarian state in his dystopian society; the ideas are in symbolic objects, themes, and characters. Orwell clearly suggests that are flaws in the world that he has created, and, more importantly, Orwell the possibility of the characteristics becoming reality.
The idea of Individualism can be traced all the way back to England before America’s existence. As we know, individualism has been interpreted in many forms throughout history. The 19th century is no different, taking hold of its own idea of individualism, called transcendentalism. Transcendentalism suggests freedom should not be confined to those focused on money and superficial gains. Instead, people should depend on no one but themselves. This movement focused on “greater individualism against conformity” (Corbett et al.). Heavily influenced by the Romantic period, transcendentalism adopted the belief that reason was more important than logic as Benjamin Franklin has believed. Reason must also include unique emotion and spirit (Corbett et
Initial Reflective Essay When I first thought of what I wanted to do with my life after college, the first thing I thought of was helping people. The next step in deciding what I wanted to do with my life was to examine how I could accomplish this goal. I started pondering and I was thinking about how much I love to take care of my body. Health care and personal hygiene has always been an important factor in my life. So I decided to major in Health Sciences.
I started to learn the use of utensils for my convenience as well as what I saw in my surroundings.
After completing all of your coursework, what jumps out as having a significant impact on your learning?
One thing I learned is how to calculate discounts with money. When I go shopping and see something I like on sale, instead of running around searching for a price check I can easily calculate its price in my head. Another thing I have learned is how to write a resume. When applying for a job I need to write a resume; it’s an essential part of my future and career. One last thing I learned was the importance of compromise. When working in a group, and not only that, but anywhere you will find people who don’t always agree or even like you. However, if you learn to compromise you can work with anyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. In the workplace, in the grocery store, even at home, you will constantly find people you don’t agree with, but you cannot always dismiss them but must work with
The first lesson that was hard for me to realize I needed to work on was Avoidance (chapter eight). I thought that I never avoided conflict, once I opened my eyes to what avoidance actually is, I realized I did it a lot. For example, with my coworker who constantly likes to mediate situations, I avoided the conversation with him to tell him how I felt because I didn't want to create a conflict with him. I finally did talk to him about it because I didn't want to avoid it any longer. Unfortunately he didn't think that he did that all the time so the conversation did not change the fact that he still does it, but I know now to not avoid conversations with him. The next thing that I realized with myself is I compete a lot, with a lot of people. I like to be in control so I learned that I don't need to be competitive with everything that I can be in control without trying to compete with people. That control factor of myself also brings my next concept of Power Currency (chapter eight) which is a resource that other people value, I used to think that it was bad for me to be the bossy control
In order to have an indivisible self it is important to value a wellness approach. As it is mentioned in the book of Counseling and Interviewing “Wellness and positive psychology are effective a basis for growth and change in both mind and body.” Wellness is important to help build confidence and helps us to develop positive relationship in order to develop a sense of worth that will helps not only ourselves but those who surround us to feel treasured and supported.
Erik Erikson composed a theory of psychological development that was composed of eight stages. Erikson’s theory focuses on how personalities evolve throughout life as a result of the interaction between biologically based maturation and the demands of society. According to Erikson, “Each stage of human development presents its characteristic crises. Coping well with each crisis makes an individual better prepared to cope with the next.” (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2013, p. 314) According to Erikson’s eight stages of development, I have only been through six of the eight stages.
...Some of the concepts we have had to learn include drawing the different elements in a bohr rutherford diagram, balancing chemical equations, types of chemical reactions, and the different types of acids and bases. Overall there were many other things in the unit that were very eye-opening as well, but these four definately helped me as a student have that ‘ah-ha’ moment, and they have definitely helped me learn about chemistry in a more in-depth way, appreciate chemistry and the science behind it a lot more, as well as teaching me something very new things such as how to neutralize Hydrochloric Acid inside of your stomach when it starts to pain. Learning these concepts in the classroom has really opened my eyes to the world in which we live in today, and now personally I will forever hold these memories and knowledge in my mind for when I really need it in my life.
The field of social work is one that requires much self-reflection on the part of the worker. In doing so, it helps the worker better understand his or her own emotions and the thought processes that these emotions come from. The goal of this paper is to provide my own self-reflection, relating it to my own emotional intelligence in the domains of relationships, tolerance, flexibility, self-management, and emotional awareness, and my future plans and goals in Widener University’s MSW program.
In higher education, learning and studying differ in several ways from secondary education; consequently, the main difference is that there is more emphasis on independent learning at university compared to college. My definition of independent study is learning and motivating yourself on your own whilst being self-disciplined in order to allocate enough time to meet assignment deadlines. This is really important for higher education because the majority of the course at university is learnt by studying or revising on your own in the library finding topic related resources and completing exam papers. Consolidation work, however, is far more important at a university even despite the lecturer giving you the right direction; it is the individual
In my opinion, private self-governance is the most appropriate type of governance to describe the photo of Floating House. Private self-governance means that no intervention from the state. The policy formulation and implementation are completely in the hand of private sector, in this case is the family who lives in the Floating House. From the photo, it can be seen that they are free from the state intervention to live in the Floating House. It looks like they are free to build such a house which is look fragile and endanger the occupant, especially children since it has no safety fence that will keep the children fall into the water. There are also no restrictions from the state in placing the house close to the cliff, the position where it might be vulnerable to falling materials may fall from the cliff or
Because all individuals possess different sets of experiences and perspectives, their individual realities, or their interactions with and responses to their surroundings, differ accordingly. While the outside reality that exists independently from human interaction remains consistently unaffected by individuals’ perceptions, one’s individual reality can change and shift as a result of changes in perception that can be triggered by events, relationships, and interactions with others. Leslie Bell’s “Hard to Get: Twenty-Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom,” Oliver Sacks’s “The Mind’s Eye,” and Martha Stout’s “When I Woke Up Tuesday Morning, It Was Friday” collectively address this idea that the realization of individual realities
One-way my time spent during my fieldwork has improved my own learning is how I manage the way I learn. During my fieldwork, I observed many ways the teacher adjusted her lessons to accommodate different learning styles for her students to enhance their learning. This made me think of my own cognitive learning style and how I learned and processed information. These types of adjustments made by the teacher to improve learning, helped me better understand
