REFLECTIVE JOURNAL WEEK 1
Topic: What are your goals and expectations of studying at Insearh?
A goal is something that a person desires to achieve. Expectation is something what you think or hope will happen (Cambridge Dictionary). Each individual, group, community, or country has different goals and expectations… College students often desire to achieve multiple goals and expectations in their studies. The expectations of all students (include me) who are studying at Insearch is quite the same. That is, we want to achieve enough knowledge, skills and high grade which all will help for our future careers and make our life become better.
Insearch is known as one of the professionally and modernly educational environment for all students, especially for international students. I think that I can improve and develop my study ability and get a good result in such environment. Teaching and studying methods at university differs from English course but is quite similar to diploma course. This is the reason I decided to study diploma course at Insearch to prepare for university. Beside the high grade, the most important thing that I really want to achieve is understanding, self-confidence and I can put all knowledge and into the practice. In order to achieve these things I must plan and organize my study appropriately as well as manage time effectively. I think that every student will have different orientation about their goals and expectations so they know how much study will be necessary for them. In my opinion, I would like to be an accountant and I assume that master degree is enough for me.
There is not easy for me to balance between academic and social life because I grew up in a country where language, culture and education system…from Australia differs. When I came here, I had many problems. Throughout knowledge that I have been taught in Insearch I can balance academic and social life. I arrange and distribute time suitably. I try to complete my homework and

    -I believe that it would be a great bumper sticker because wearing a seatbelt is something that is very important to do while driving. Most times people forget or simply hate wearing them because they feel uncomfortable. But a simple reminder of this would help many people avoid any disastrous situation. By wearing a seat belt a person can avoid getting a ticket. It could also lessen the force that could be applied to you if you were to have an accident while on the road. Wearing a seatbelt is something that is always found on a written test exam for getting your license. These are the reasons why I believe that a “KEEP CALM and FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT!” would be a great bumper sticker to have.…

    As nurses, we encounter ethical situations everyday regarding patient care. How we handle these situations promote equality while seeking rationality. After reading the two case studies presented, I will discuss in my reflective journal how the ethical issues were presented, the steps taken in the decision-making process to ethically address the issues, the lenses used and how these lenses influenced the decisions made, and also how these can relate to the workplace. The Baird Decision Model is a five step process that guides us through that decision-making process when making ethical decisions.…

    Goals are imperative for individuals to succeed. They can be used in all aspects of life, including university study. There are various reasons why setting realistic goals are important. Firstly, they provide you with the ability to monitor short and long term progress against a desired outcome. Short term goals or milestones are important to maintain an individual's motivation and help them visualise the successful outcome. In addition, goals help to develop time management skills, whilst providing direction and allowing the individual to feel in control. As a mother of two, my most important goal during university study is to develop a personalised academic writing style and acquire the skills required to teach and motivate others.…

    We started the session with an icebreaker which was very specific. I found this very challenging as I wanted to say more than the one point that was allowed. The ‘Get/Give’ activity was very thought provoking as it allowed me to really think about what it was I actually wanted from the course and what I felt I could contribute to the course. Sue explained very clearly that the assessment tasks should be related to my subject, learners and environment. This I found a very useful piece of information and will try to remember this while writing assessments. We then looked at reflective practice and between us came up with a definition. It is about describing what we have done and then acting upon it. We then looked at each section of a reflective journal and thought about what we would write in each section. I chose ‘What surprised me was...’ To this I answered that I was surprised by the fact that a lot of the skills I already have can be transferred into teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector.…

    2 items I would consider my best work on the right side of the journal is my baby dragon on page 80, and the Bikini Bottom Dihybrid crosses on page 88. I would consider the baby dragon my best work, simply because it is a decently drawn dragon which I mostly made out of my imagination. It also shows how genes can sometimes make certain organisms look odd, like my dragon with his long neck and short tail. Nonetheless, I am very proud of my dragon, Norbert II. The second item on the right side of my journal I would consider my best work is the Bikini Dihybrid cross on page 88. This is because I was very proud of how fast I was understanding the concept of Dihybrid crosses, which is a very simple subject, but I was still pleased with how fast…

    The position of a manager is a foreign occupation to me. I have worked as a charge nurse for about 3 years but to be manager has always seemed overwhelming to me. I have to the opportunity to precept with Wayne Martin, who is currently the manager over the Emergency Department at Southeastern Health. He is also managing the MedCare Unit which is a critical care transport team for the hospital. To begin the morning, we started with a financial meeting with different departments such as the IT department and different business departments. The emergency department is required to go to this meeting because this is the initial part of patient care. Discussions seemed every overwhelming to me. I have never really understood the financial situation of the hospital but with the changes with Obamacare, the hospital has really taken a big hit. Conversations about cost and ways of saving and processing patients seemed to be the focus. In my opinion, the individuals involved with this meeting see patients as dollars bills and not humans. It was very dishearten to hear some of the discussions. I do understand that bills have to get paid but it was very foreign to me.…

    I believe that if one plans on being a successful person in society, setting goals is a very important step. Having goals not only gives you a clear focus on things, it also helps you to organize your plans by allowing you to give yourself time limits and boundaries. Expectations are a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future.…

    In persuasive or argumentative writing, we try to convince others to agree with our facts, share our values, accept our argument and conclusions, and adopt our way of thinking. I have used persuasive writing in several areas of my life. In my personal life, I have used persuasive writing to convince members of my non-profit organization to donate money we fundraised to the Southside Boys and Girls Club for supplies and other miscellaneous items the children needed. Another member wanted to donate the money to the homeless but my research and convincing evidence proved that giving the money…
