I have to do research in my current professional life and I feel that as I am not a master of these skills, I improve every day. I can utilize not only the physical written word effectively when obtaining information I can effectively navigate online resources as well. I feel that North Central University so far has given me valuable information with regards to these skills. I look forward to using them going forward in my future classes. I am a lifelong learner so I will never say I have a mastery of any skill as there is always something new to be learned, or changes made to existing skills.
I stayed interested the entire time while reading this book. I feel that at a few parts things weren’t explained very well and I was left questioning what happens. For example at the end, a lot is said and I feel like I didn’t fully understand it all. Other than that I understood and enjoyed the book a lot. I always wanted to read more and never put the book down.
treI haven't written a paper in about 12 years. Since I've just recently gone back to school, I have found it very difficult. When I was in high school I really enjoyed reading and writing papers, I have lately found that i have a hard time expressing my words on paper. I really do not enjoy writing. I do not have any misconceptions about writing I'm just very out of practice and I'm sure with time it will become a lot easier and feel more natural.
That just affirms that music has a huge impact on the world and the people in it. My mood also changed a little during my “no music” time. I was very frustrated because every time I would go to turn on my music I would remember that it was my twenty-four hour period for no music. The day also seemed like it was so much longer than usual. At first I was so against doing it because I somewhat depend on it to get me through my long days.
One either has such an intense feeling that all who disagree are wrong, or is so open-minded that he or she believes all are equal. I generally love reading no matter what the subject is, although I had difficulty comprehending this article the first time I read it and had to try another attempt. I had never heard of the terms that McGrath uses in his article so applying them to my life was challenging for me. Another reason I had
I realize that I do not know very much about local resources. I have started a portfolio, which I update constantly; however, there is not enough information about local resources which are available for my clients. As for collaboration, sometimes I feel as if I should already know things because I have been there for a while and get a little embarrassed to ask, therefore causing me to feel as if I am on my own. Whenever I do supervision time, my MSW always tells me that I am doing a great job. I am sure I can improve in many areas and I wish my MSW would tell me what those areas
Getting older I went thru a phase where I always wanted to cover up (jacket, big clothes ect), but after that phase I became comfortable in my own skin. Embraced who I was and begin loving me. Learning about the Transtheoretical model of behavior change helped me to clearly understand the many changes I been thru and are currently going thru today. The first stage is pre contemplation where I was in denial that a problem existed; I did not intend to start a healthy behavior in the near future and was very unaware of
Reflections of US/101 Amy Kelley US/101 Professor Eric Wright Reflections of US/101 When I think back over this class I have received a greater knowledge base on several different things but out of all of them there are a few that really stuck with me and will drive me to seek more information and ideas. The few that have made the most impact are time and stress management, integrity and ethics, and goal settings. When I think about time and stress management I find that I have always fallen short because I have always tried to do everything and there are a time when that is just not possible. After taking this class I can see how my stress level has been high and have found a few ways to reduce my stress as well as find time
My biggest weakness is an unwillingness to accept my limitations. For example, I often take on too many responsibilities and find myself not being able to do as well as I could in any of them given how overstretched I am. I also have a lot of impatience when it comes to improving things such as how we deliver higher education and need to be willing to accept how slow change can be. Why have you selected psychology as a profession? I did not choose it as a profession as my graduate work is in Higher Education but I like to study psychology in my free time as I think a lot of principles of the field can be applied to making better public policy and improving human
My schedule doesn’t allow for a lot of give, so everything I do is with purpose and on time. I forget that not everyone has the same regimen and need to be so time conscience. I am also not good at adapting to change, which is a critical skill I need to work on. In being with the same company for so long, we have seen our fair share of change, and I do eventually come around, but I think I could do it faster and better if I were more flexible and adaptive when I first become aware of changes on the way. Sometimes we learn of change the day of, via email, and it definitely throws me for a loop.
