Reflection On Coursework

Throughout this semester, I have had many struggle when it came down to doing an assignment for ENC1102. When it comes down to my growth, I have noticed throughout my papers that various struggle I had in the past, are now not as difficult for me. One of the main examples of this is being able to clearly state my thesis.

I possess high talents and competencies that could be useful to the execution of projects and tasks, in various areas like writing, design, logical analysis, scientific thinking, analysis of social dynamics, PowerPoint, video-editing and proofreading. I easily form coherent visions of what our optimal final product will look like and take initiative to execute such visions and enact disruptive change. For example, after my final project proposal feedback was posted and the results were mediocre, my group mates were prepared to begin implementing the

In order to be a successful leader, I know that I have to make a plan to be a good teammate, listen to others, and know how to communicate effectively. Risk and change is something that I struggle with. Not only do I have to start listening more to my teammates, I need to start being able to accept and be ok with change. When I start my new adventure at BlumShapiro, I will be in different teams every week.

Where as role balance was defined as satisfactory fulfillment of all valued roles (Backman, 2010). It is extremely hard to balance all of my present roles and the occupations that go along with them. As I mentioned before having the extremely valuable roles of being a student and friend and family member can create a role conflict. In order to try and remedy this situation I set aside time to complete the activities associated with each

The result was conclusions which were very hit or miss. I am now aware that a consistent effort must be made to improve my critical thinking and I am committed to this process. Application of Critical Thinking To improve critical thinking various skills must be sharpened.

I have a wide variety of experiences that I know will be of great asset to The United Way. In my most recent position I was working with a start-up and know what it is like to be with a growing organization.

It’s allowed me to refine the way I approach obstacles, so I can absorb and apply the information to best serve the company.

An example of this was clear when I was searching for methods to assess participants’ mood and arousal, mental state, and cognitive tasks. Research and psychologists are mandated to use valid and reliable tools in their research (APA, 2010). In order to address this matter, I had to read many sources, and re-read earlier notes from SNHU courses. My commitment and dedication to deliver a quality job helped me find what I was looking for. These characteristics, which I considered some of my strengths, will definitely be of great use in my forthcoming

To meet this objective, I will employ better time management skills to even more effectively address existing work. This use of time management allows more time to research the processes at my current unit and determine the inefficiencies and why they exist. After identifying the unnecessary impediments, I will search for new and more innovative ideas to resolve the issues by soliciting for input from my team and decide and implement the best course of

It is not only important for the Human Resources students or professionals, but also for everyone who wants to build a successful career as well. I understood the purposes and use of employment interviews during a selection process, and also, how to ask standard questions during the job interview, among others. Moreover, I could have the chance to be familiar with questions which may be used as an interviewer or interviewee and that would contribute to my performance in both situations. To illustrate that, we were given an assignment which is an interview practicum and for that, I realized the importance of it, once the task led me to analyze a job posting, cover letter, resume, and also to consider the appropriate questions for a job interview.

Due to my personal goals and values, I chose Queen’s University as I knew it was the place I could grow and thrive. I selected Queens University because I value challenges very highly (exhibit C). The growth mindset shows me, when an individual can overcome great challenges in both academic and social areas the individual learns multiple useful skills such as resilience and handwork (Yeager, Scott, Dweck).
