Final Class Reflection: Asmai Matuchina

Last of all, debates in the past have also helped us determine the next president because of how the candidate acts during the debates and how they respond to the questions.’’During the second debate between President Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter … Ford botched a line about Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. “There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe,” said Ford … Ford’s answer was at complete odds with the reality of the Cold War. “As a matter of fact, I visited Poland, Yugoslavia and Romania, to make certain,” continued Ford. Jimmy Carter came out with the win that year.’’ (Cramer, 2016) So the debate between Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford really helped open the eyes of the audience to know who they should vote for as their next

I am taking CIS 105 class because I believe that if I were to become an accountant, I should be knowledgeable with the computer. I want to understand the uses of application software to prepare myself for my career in accounting. I’m taking an online class because this is more convenient for me and I 've taken online classes in the past and I didn’t have any problem with it because all my previous instructors are good communicators and that’s all I 'm expecting from Mr. Bill Stewart when I say a good communicator what I mean with that is very clear in giving instructions and willing to give us example of how to do it. Because an online class can be confusing to others but good communication will be the key to succeeding in this

What do I feel proudest about regarding my learning activities during the last two weeks?

During the course of English 102, I took this year of the spring semester. I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were impossible. I have not only grown as a writer and a student but as an individual as well. I feel that through my experience of this English course, I have achieved knowledge and self-confidence to step out into the real world. In putting together my portfolio, I could definitely see that I have made an incredible progress from the foundation of this class. My practice of grammar, words and the general structure of my papers has improved massively. Reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, as well as things I have learned in my own writing process is a big accomplishment.

Upon beginning my first class at Walden University, it has been difficult to see myself getting through this 8-week course. Furthering my education has been something I have struggled to accomplish for the last 4 years. I almost decided to give up and continue being just a high school teacher. However, being a senior teacher that motivates my students to go above an beyond to reach their goal has pushed me to work hard and start a new journey. Though it is only the beginning of my journey, I can see graduation. In learning about Walden University this week, I have gained insight on what it will take to experience graduation. In this paper I will discuss what I hope to have learned and mastered while being a student at Walden University.

Trust, experiences, and helping each other, are all ways that people can generate hope and gain knowledge from the past. The novel “Hiroshima” shows us that when people come together, then they are stronger, and we can learn from survivors like Miss Sasaki.

Welcome to our Sacred Redemption: What you are about to read is a fictional story, but, what we are about to experience is inalienable redemption. “Jesus in the Hood” is formatted to be read in a family setting. Each character’s role from the story should be given to someone in your group/family of equal same gender, and age as close as possible. Each family member should pre-read their story-lines before the family group reading. Sections of the story should be read together at least once a week. At the end of each chapter, section you will find three self reflection questions. Some may require research; address each question as a group after each member has had a chance to do their own reflections. Each member’s reflection should be fully

Although my experience in AP World History continued to challenge and frustrate me from June of 2015 to the present, it changed me to make me a more responsible student, and changed the way I view the world.

Prior to starting this course the MA Social Work course and the PPSWP module I felt very confident in the aspects of communicating effectively and working with a diverse range of people, and after the reading the professional capabilities framework I believe that I hold the same personal values which is expected of a social worker. The PCF6 talks about the importance of critical reflection and reflective practice explaining that it helps improve accountability, professional development and helps to you understand your own tacit knowledge and gain new knowledge, which improves outcomes and experiences for social workers. (Capabilities within the PCF, 2016)

The article, “Surviving the Tsunami” demonstrates how students Aki Kawasaki, Kana Sasaki, and Fumiya Akasaka persevered through the Japanese Tsunami and how it affected them. The text details that the town of Tokyo, Japan was hit by an earthquake, followed by a devastating tsunami. Aki, Kana, and Fumiya along with other students and a handful of teachers were desperately trying to escape, and made it out alive. They were among the lucky, as their families were safe.

Throughout the semester in AP Biology I’ve been able to cover several different topics. These include being able to identify biological processes that require energy, investigating and modeling ways organisms capture and store free energy for use in biological processes and investigating and explaining how organisms respond to changes in their environment. Over the semester I have been able to gain a full understanding and can demonstrate proficiency in each of these components of the curriculum. The work that I have completed involving these topics shows this.

I enjoyed creating an online resource collection for my teaching partner. I am driven by inquiry and helping others. During my observations and feedback session I took note of things that my teaching partner wanted resources of. I enjoyed creating a collection of effective strategies for Beth to utilize. A particular focus for our blog was the use of leveled text. This was particularly important to meet the diverse learners and their individual learning needs. I began my resource collection by adding graphic organizers that could be used to differentiate lessons to meet the needs of our English Language Learners. Henceforth, I then began to add differentiated and leveled text so Beth could easily access the text for her diverse learners. You

This semester I have learned a considerable amount in Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise. The wide array of content covered helped me learn a lot about different subjects. Some of my favorite activities were the Fitness Fridays and the various speakers. I was glad this class had a mixture of ways that the material was presented because it helped really understand the topics. The main topics that I feel like changed my lifestyle the most were the Behavior Change Contract, the Access Yourself Quizzes, and the lectures.

Prior to taking this course, my perspective on globalization was very limited because I had very little knowledge and experience with this topic. I never gave much thought to the educational practices or policies that are implemented across the globe. There are many factors to consider when it comes to the process that these countries have taken to successfully integrate technology into their K-12 education system. Before even taking this course I will admit that I have thought about how great it would be to connect with educators or health professionals across the globe, but I never thought I could make it happen. This course reminded me that I wanted to give my students the opportunity to see the world from a different perspective and to provide an experience that would forever change how they saw the world.
