Reflective Report
The purpose of this report is to reflect upon an aspect of my development that I have encountered throughout my time as a student in Personal and Professional Development (PPD) class conducted by lecturer Mr. Jeremy Ivan Thambirajah.
I am a student here for almost a semester, and over my time here I have gained a lot than expected. Going through the PPD programme has taught me so much. It taught me how to be me. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself and how to find answers to the things that I do not know. Most importantly, I have learned how important self esteem is when conducting a presentation.
I learnt that ethics, like how we dress when conducting a presentation is very important. The lecturer has made me aware of these formal systems of organization that enable people carry out tasks in the workplace. I even find the class exercises enabled me to be more disciplined, in others words, it has taught me to manage myself properly when it comes to completing coursework given by the lecturer. On top of that, it gave me a better team working skills, thus managing others well and overall was a good exercise in time management.
I can be slightly about getting my own way. Although I value myself as a good listener, I could benefit from considering other people’s opinions more carefully. Through this I can conclude here that this programme has enlightened me on the need for self-development. Even though I prefer to avoid confrontation, especially with people I know well. However, this is something that I need to overcome in order to be a successful leader. This, I realised after going through the PPD programme. I also found myself to be more confident with the work that I was assigned by the lecturer. I have learnt to be patient and to communicate effectively.
Writing had always been one of my strengths, but it was challenging to take that initial step past the high school, five-paragraph essay form that

    This course has given me a more humanistic view of fellow human beings. This is not to say that I did not before have compassion for other human’s beings; rather to say that my understanding of people and what they may be experiencing within their lives has changed some. We judge people everyday based on things such as appearance, speech and the like. If we look at things with a bit more empathy we can truly say that we can or have walked a mile in someone else's shoes. Many times sympathy takes control when really empathy should take hold. Personally, I implement new learning's into my everyday life. I learned to not be so quick to make a hasty decision and that actually hearing someone is different from just listening to them. Carl Rogers said this and I believe it has deep bearings within this course; "An assumption unusual in psychology today is that the subjective human being has an important value which is…

    I felt sad for Mr. Gill, one of the main reasons being that I have personally been in a MVC myself which brought up the similar feelings, such as anxiety and chronic pain that Mr. Gill expressed. It felt like despite the differences in our age or situation, the pain he was expressing I could relate to directly. Another reason for feeling sadness for him was that he reminded me so much of my own father in appearance and nature. During the session, he referred to me as someone who is like his daughter and that he felt comfortable sharing information with me. I think this moment caused a shift in our therapeutic relationship, in which I felt even more inclined to show him respect and to provide encouragement on his development. The language barriers he faced in getting treatment made me feel angry towards the system. Unfortunately, MVC are common occurrences in our society thus, I imagined that the support systems would have been set in place for survivors to reduce the effects of physical and psychological harms.…

    I learned about different communicative disorders. I learned what to do in order to diagnose, treat, and evaluate the patients by doing assessments, screenings, orofacial examinations, etc. to determine what type of disorder and the severity the patient may have. One of the lectures I found to be interesting was when we learned about dysphagia. I am aware that treating a patient with a swallowing disorder is one of the most dangerous things a SLP can do because the patient can possibly die while in our care, but I believe as long as we are trained well, there should not be a problem. It was interesting learning about the different phases and disorders involved in swallowing. Seeing modified barium swallow studies were attention grabbing to me because you get to see if a patient aspirates and you can visually see the liquids going down their pharynx into their esophagus or…

    My aim is to examine the important role and impact of the initial induction process on myself, and most importantly how it helped me in the creation of my Personal Development Program (PDP). According to Schön., it is important to be equipped with the knowledge to perform duties in a way that is expected and deliver satisfactory services. He asserts that skilled practitioner shows a form of knowing in practice and this gives the proposition that they know more than they say. Usually, professionals reveal the ability to reflect on their intuitive knowing amid an action. They often use this capacity to deal with unforeseen and contending situations. These skills which experts possess come because of long-term experiences and interaction with…
