Reflective Essay

 
In a 2-page informal reflection essay, explain how you can use presentation skills and knowledge of yourself and your goals, intentions, and current actions and activities to better address your coursework and your current job or career. Why is it important to actively think about presenting yourself, your goals, and your current situation to employers, friends, and others? How do you build on where you are now to strengthen your argument for yourself?

As you reflect in preparation for writing your essay, the following are some things to ask yourself:
�How did you use situational awareness (rapport, self-confidence, and awareness) during your presentation?
�From observing others present themselves, how did that impact your thoughts about self-awareness, reflective practice, and the need to synthesize and present both your discipline knowledge as well as your own professional capabilities?
�How did you follow up with the audience during or after the presentation?
�Why is follow-up important in any presentation situation?
�What else will you do in future situations?

Part B

Social media is an important networking resource and continues to evolve as a tool for self-presentation. Based on concepts covered in this unit, identify the kinds of information that you would want to put on a social media site for presentation of your professional capabilities. Be sure to explain why you have chosen this set of information.

TSH LEVEL

clinton is a thirty-one-year-old female who comes in for a routine follow-up. She reports that she has been feeling excessive fatigue over the last month. She also notes that she is having some problems at work, not only because of her fatigue but also because of difficulty concentrating. She also notes that she has gained 10 pounds over the last month, and she is unable to identify the cause of the weight gain. She also notes that her periods are a little heavier and more irregular. She is currently taking daily ferrous sulfate and over-the-counter calcium. According to her medical record, she had a TSH level of 4.2 mIL/L about a year ago. Although this is slightly elevated, no further follow-up was deemed necessary at the time. Repeat blood work today reveals a TSH level of 9.8 mIL/L and a free T4 of 0.72 ng/dL.
Answer the following questions:
• What additional findings on the physical exam would you look for?
• What implication does the previous TSH level have?
• What therapy would you institute?
• If VG becomes pregnant, what adjustment, if any, would be needed in her thyroid medication?

For medications, include dosages and schedules. Include highlights of patient teaching and/or lifestyle alterations.
Support your decisions with at least one reference to a published clinical guideline and one peer-reviewed publication.

Music Analysis essay

this essay,
you need to analyze an entire piece of music, detailing all its formal elements and how they contribute to the composition and its effect, or you may address only those particular analytical points in the music that are relevant to your thesis, for example:
• Relationships or patterns in the music,
• Changes in key,
• Theoretical principles,
• Historical performance standards.
Where necessary, provide examples (usually passages from the score) to
demonstrate, explain, or support your analysis.

Giving Examples from a Musical Score
All music examples given from a score must be numbered and referred to in your text as “see example 1” or “as seen in example 1.” The examples must always have captions either above or below them, and should include the example number, the composer, the title of the piece of music, and the measure(s) you are using, for example:
Example 1. J.S. Bach, French Suite no. 3, Menuet, mm. 1-2.
If the source of information you use throughout your paper does not vary from the first example (such as the composer or piece of music), you need not repeat theinformation in subsequent captions.
Also, all music examples should include clefs, key signatures, time signatures,and any indications of voices or instrumentation.

Presentation Essentials

paragraph form, answer the following questions that may affect how you think about presentations, your topics, and your audience:
•What is your “story”? How would you summarize your life’s experiences?
•How have those experiences, overall, shaped you as a professional? How have they shaped you as a university student?
•What have you learned from your previous experiences in making formal or informal presentations to others?

Part B

For this part of the assignment, you will be preparing or updating your resume. Upon reflection of your answers in Part A, rethink your resume, and update it as appropriate to incorporate your experiences and goals. In addition, review your resume format. If you already have a template for your resume that works, that’s great.

Report: Teaching for Quality Learning in Science through Play

Assignment 2:
this assignment, your task is to observe and participate in the normal practice in an early childhood centre. With educators linking their practice to the EYLDF (Early Years Learning and Development Framework) and EYLF ( Early Years Learning Framework), you are to look for how they have incorporated this into practice, how they are ‘intentionally’ teaching science.

Across several weeks, select two examples of children exhibiting new learning through play. This learning must be related to science or environmental awareness.

Specifications:

This play can be with or without an adult present.

Select 2 illustrations which are quite different in the nature of the learning that occurs. It is preferable that both activities observed are different, however, if this is not possible, you may include one which has similarities. Eg while we would hope that you observe something related to physical science or chemistry or biological science, you may only observe two biological science activities.

Report

Format – please use sub-headings.

Introduction – Provide a paragraph on play theory – how children learn science through play (375 – 450 words). This should engage with contemporary literature and debates about learning science through play.

Two illustrations.- Prepare a 800-1000 word piece about each ‘illustration’ which describes the type of science learning- through-play which you have observed.

Describe what the children are doing, who are involved (other children, parents, educators), and what they are saying and what others are saying to them. This forms your data.

Analyse and discuss these data to identify children’s learning.

As you are looking at the intentional teaching of the pre-school educator, you need to discuss what promoted those learning opportunities:

children as peer tutors

what the educator has done to either set the experience up for the children,

enhanced the play experience through scaffolding (questioning, focussing or challenging)

extended the experience through teacher-led activities.

How did the tasks and resources affect children’s learning? How are tasks, resources and learning related to each other?

Conclusion (500-600 words)

Discuss how your two examples are linked to the science in the early years learning framework and the importance of intentional teaching for promoting science learning. Refer to broader educational research literature.

: Detection of Childhood Abuse

A 5 year old boy, whose parents are undergoing a divorce, reports that he was sexually molested by his father. His mother takes him to a psychologist who evaluates him using various techniques, including a clinical interview, Anatomically Correct Dolls and a test she has created: “Detection of Childhood Abuse Test” (DCAT). The psychologist is called to testify in court about her findings.

1) What are the issues related to the validity of using Anatomically Correct Dolls for this purpose? Explain the basis for your opinion (that is, cite the relevant sources).

2) Cite at least one U.S. Supreme Court case (covered in this course) which provides guidance that the Judge could use to decide whether the psychologist can testify about the results from the DCAT? What are the factors which would need to be considered?

3) Aside from the tests administered, what would you want to know about the clinical interview to decide whether the testimony in that area should be considered credible?
