The dilemma between eight week versus sixteen week courses is one I struggled with in choosing my courses for Fall as well as Spring. I did not know if it would be better to take two eight week courses in different sessions or two sixteen week courses together. I knew the eight week format would be condensed and move faster but it would allow me the option to focus on one course at a time. I also considered that the sixteen week courses may be more manageable if the work was more spread out. For Fall, I ended up taking only one course as I needed to get back in the routine of doing schoolwork and wasn't sure how it would balance in with my other obligations. When it came time to register for Spring, I knew I wanted to take two courses at a time, but I wasn't sure which combination would be best. I considered the pacing of this course and felt that I would not have absorbed as much of the material if I had taken the course in an eight week format. I also felt that the pacing worked well with my other obligations and allowed me flexibility. …show more content…
I feel as if I have a better overall understanding of human relations and that I have already become a better advisor from the insights I have gained. This course has allowed me to do a lot of self reflection, particularly with the final project. I definitely feel that I have gained or strengthened competencies through the materials in this course. I do believe that my relationships have been and will continue to be strengthened, as long as I continue to develop competencies. I think the biggest surprise in this course was how much I connected with some of the assigned materials. I expected this course to be an overview of Human Relations, with the goal of improving baseline knowledge for the remainder of the program. I did not expect the amount of influence the material would have throughout multiple aspects of my

Reflect on what you have learned in this course and discuss how it might influence your work as a professional
Much of my lower division courses have helped to prepare me for the upper division courses, much of the material in my upper division courses are based upon these lower division courses. Throughout my college career I have met and made many friends not just from the campus that I attend, but from other larger institutions as well, such as Sac State and UC Davis. Upon communicating with them I have gotten a lot of insight as to what is expected of a student at these different universities, such as what has helped them become a successful student, the barriers they have faced, and as well as the do’s and the don’t s. The community college that I attend has blessed me with a great experience and amazing professors who have so much experience and
Throughout the semester we have been reading about stories of students and how “On Course” has impacted their lives. However there are students like me Shawnel Begay that has gone through the entire semester and realize On Course had no impact towards my life, only became a waste of time. To be honest I have found many of these lessons to be useless in life, such as the inner guide, inner critic or the inner defender, my beliefs and habits are different compare to On Course.
When reflecting on what I have learned in my general education courses, it is tough to know where to begin. After moving overseas, my first anthropology course initially comes to mind. Even though I am now an anthropology major, when the class was taken, I was studying under another major. Anthropology has enhanced my communication skills in that it has taught me to suspend my own pre-misconceptions and to look at and accept other cultures with a more open mind. Relative culturalism can be described as “A moral stance that requires anthropologists to suspend moral and ethical judgments when interacting with a culture different from their own” (Nowak & Laird, 2010). This has the advantage of setting aside one’s predispositions and allows for
I do feel that I have grown both professionally and personally. This class has taught me to see individuals for who they are and to meet them where they are in their lives.
I feel like I've learned a lot of thing from this class that I probably would have never thought about before. Firstly, I learned how community colleges work and about some of the policies they go by. I also learned about a lot of different career options that I never explored before. I think this really helped to open my eyes to all the options so I'm not limiting myself. Lastly, and most importantly, I learned about ways of managing stress and my time. This is something I have always struggled with and now I feel like I have the tools to change. I think this will really improve many things in all areas in my life but especially school. It was really great to hear everyone's dreams and goals as well as their stresses. It just shows that
It’s because of all the learnings from this course that I realized in order to keep my sanity and maintain supportive relationships I would have to balance everything out. I struggled the first couple of days, but I found the need, especially for those around me. Up until very lately, I was unaware of how that adversely affected me, where it was entrenched in me, and how much of an impact the lack of essential strictness was affecting me. B & H position “leadership can be a lonely business with great amounts of soul-draining human interaction but little soul-filling intimacy” (Lead Like Jesus, p. 115). If you include to this substantial natural gap, a demanding people category to work with, and a few egoistic characters in key positions, life can become very
The first thing I want to state is that I learned quite a bit from this course. This is probably one of the most challenging courses I’ve taken thus far in my college career. Most of tasks I’ve done in this course I have never done before and that’s what made it so challenging. I am use to taking courses that require me to study material from presentations and books. With this information I take exams and quizzes. This course was nothing like that. This course had me going out and networking with individuals outside of the university. The networking is the very first thing that stood out to me in this course since I am not really the outgoing/ people person. From networking I did learn a lot and met numerous interesting people that
Taking two classes over the summer would allow me to get a glimpse of college-level academics and what I should be expecting once I get back to campus in August. Getting
Over the course, as I began to see all the material and work come together, I felt a sense of accomplishment and felt very proud of what I had done over the semester. This learning experience has definitely opened my eyes and opened new doors for me professionally already.
Not only am I expecting this course to help improve me personally as an individual, but on a team level as well. In the field of psychology it takes a team in order to complete work appropriately; this includes working with other colleagues. Personally, I feel I posses the skills to work on a team effectively, I am also aware no one is perfect and there is no harm in learning more. I am willing to learn more on how to effectively work on a team and be able to utilize those skills as a
