What I’ve Learned About Myself in This Class One of the first days of class we were asked what we wanted to get out of this class and I said I want to be more in the moment. When people live in the past or the future they miss out on so much that is going on in their lives. People may have reasons about why they are consumed about something in the past or the future, however, it is important that they don’t let it control their lives. Here a few things that I learned and discovered about myself from
Business communication, a third year course at business school. When I first enrolled in this course I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I thought to myself, “how can we have exams in this course?” When I read the outline I realized that most of this course was based on presentations and class participation. My immediate reaction on the first day of class was that this was going to be a piece of cake, little did I know this would become the course I had to put a lot of effort into. I always considered
As this semester draws to a close and I reflect upon it, I am grateful for having taken this class and to be a CURO Honor Scholar. This semester was much different than my past two semesters taking this class, but I think this difference has been beneficial. CURO 4970H entailed class lectures, writing assignments, and presentation assignments. These assignments composed the class portion while working in my research lab 10 hours or more each week with Dr. Darold Batzer composed the ‘experiential'
Following our presentation of why cooperative learning benefits students in mathematics, we hoped the class would be able to distinguish the differences between direct learning environments from cooperative learning. Additionally, we hoped the class would understand how all students become active participants in their learning through cooperative learning and receive higher academic success. Lastly, it was a goal of ours that the class recognized the acquired skills students gain from cooperative
Active Shooters have sadly become a large issue within our society, both nationally and worldwide. Since there is no true way to extinguish the act of active shooting on school campuses, one must be proactive by staying informed on safety methods for such situations. This is the motive behind the various Active Shooter Programs conducted at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. These programs aim not to embed fear into students, but to instead spread awareness. As the speaker said during the presentation
My lifetime dream, goal, and aspiration all achieved by the age of 22. Today I start my internship at Vanity Fair. I stand cowardly outside the tall building complex. I am afraid, yet confident, uneasy but excited. A mix of feelings swarm my mind. I suck it all up and walk in with my head held up high. I stride towards the receptionist desk. I casually make my way to the orientation room. All in an attempt of making myself look confident but in the inside, I am scared. Scared of making myself look
TED Talk Summative Reflection The beginning of a presentation is what must grab the audience’s attention and tell them what’s about to happen. I think I succeeded in informing my audience, but definitely could have improved the interest factor of my video. My introduction is a simple title animation going into my presentation, and my introduction is a very basic overview of what my presentation will be covering. Looking back on the example given and at other students’ videos, I realize some music
For our teamwork presentation this week, diving into the concept of teamwork and how to build and collaborate as an efficient team, we found a different sense of unity and collaboration that we were unaware of before the preparation for our presentation. For our team’s main topics, we covered the differences between a team and a group, and the vague similarities between the two. From the textbook comparisons, we consider ourselves a team rather than a group of people because of our common goals before
If I were to receive the Gilman International Scholarship, I would promote study abroad to other students by presenting it to my fellow Psychology Club members. I only recently joined the club, but there is actually a bigger membership than what most people expect. Some may think that I am limiting my audience by only presenting towards a club interested in Psychology, but Clemson University has a huge number of students in that major and others who are interested in the subject as well. Once I come
Report and reflection of the book “The righteous mind” Jonathan Haidt while studying at the college put a goal to research human morality, its origin and development. His book "the Righteous mind" explores the morality and how it affects relationships between people? Is the moral in the genes, and occurs through education? The book examines the different conceptions of morality. Haidt mentions the theories of contemporary experts on ethics which demonstrate that young people can easily find justification
