SURVIVOR BLOG POST #10 REFLECTION
/in /by GARRETTS TWO CENTS1. On a scale of 1-5, I would probably rate myself a 3 just because in the beginning, I wasn’t really turning in the blogs. But towards the end of the semester I got a lot better with this and turned in all of them on time.
2.On a scale of 1-5, I would rate myself a 5 on this aspect because every time I posted on my blog, I would make sure to comment on someone else’s blog post. I thought this was actually very beneficial and I got to learn a variety of perspectives on the same topic.
3.On a scale of 1-5, I would rate myself a 4 on integrating class concepts into my posts. Only because in the beginning I wasn’t really sure what the posts had to include , due to my laziness. After two or three posts though, I would always include at least three or four examples from the show that would relate directly to the chapter.
4.Overall, my strengths for the blogging and participation would be my effectiveness to incorporate class concepts into the show and my active engagement with other student blogs. Towards the end of the semester, in almost every scene of Survivor, I could relate something directly to our textbook.
5.I could improve with my blogging by being more persistent overall with the amount of posts. I only did 6/10 of the posts, and I wish I participated in all of them.
6.The main thing I liked about blogging would be the fact that I got to see what my classmates got out of the show and how it differed from my perspective. Everybody had something different to say.
7.To be honest, I didn’t really dislike anything about blogging. I typically enjoy doing them.
8.I wouldn’t really have any suggestions for the assignment, except for future students. I would suggest that they participate sooner in the week, rather last minute, because it just makes the experience better for everyone and more students will be able to get feedback from their classmates.
Blog Post #10 Reflection Blogging & Participation

1) 4, wasn’t always on time.
2) 1, I missed that part until the last blog.
3) 5, I tried my best to relate the chapters and episodes.
4)My strengths in blogging was summarizing the episodes, and giving examples.
5)One way to improve on my blogging is posting them on time, and revising the instructions regularly.
6) I liked the fact that we could blog and comment on each others thoughts.
7) I’m not into reality t.v., so survivor wasn’t my favorite part of the class.
8) I liked the activity, maybe more different themes like comparing and contrasting characters based on the chapters, or even the episodes.
Oscar’s Intro

The focus of my professional development will be within community/public health setting. I would also like to eventually earn a DNP and teach.

Hello Nursing 401!
/in /by Samantha BetteridgeHello Everyone!
My name is Samantha Betteridge and I have been an RN for about 5 months. I graduated from College of the Canyons in June 2014, took the NCLEX in July, and now I am in ADN-BSN program here at CI. I am really close with my family and I live with my mom, dad, and two younger sisters. Outside of nursing, I love to snowboard, exercise, get together with friends, relax with my family, and lots of other things to stay active and have fun. I currently work as a nanny to a 3 year old girl while I am in school. After I get my BSN, I am really interested in working in the ED. I am not sure where I see my nursing career headed. I would like to find my niche in nursing before I decide where I want my career to go. For now, I am trying to keep my mind open to all possibilities and areas of work!
New Assignment: “Pitcher Perfect”
/in /by KourtneyPitcher Perfect
Group E (-03) proposes a business pitch assignment for future students to exercise the core concepts of group communication. In order to make money, businesses typically have a focus group or project group to collaborate and come up with the most successful presentation of their product and its benefits to investors. Students will be split into groups and act as if they are this sort of group for a business coming up with a new product (and experience several concepts covered by the text). The goal is to have the rest of the class hypothetically invest in your group, because in the end only one group will be chosen!
Throughout the process, which may take half the semester or the whole length, short blog posts can be assigned in which the students report how the topics covered in that week’s lecture were reflected in their group work. For instance, the first one may be about group development: how the forming stage was exemplified, and so on.
The course concepts to be clearly experienced include decision making (voting, consensus, etc),
- Brainstorming/creativity
- Decision making (voting, consensus, etc.)
- Verbal and nonverbal communication (in order to assure a successful pitch, groups put a great deal of planning into how they should present themselves come presentation day: speaking style/language, personal experience, etc.)
- Listening differences (they must be kept in mind so the group can be sure their target audience will accept their presentation)
- Presentation in groups
Instructions:
- Individually, think of what people today—primarily your classmates and instructor—want or need in their lives. You will come up with plenty of ideas.
- As a group, decide which one of those ideas you wish to put your efforts into. The goal is to have your product supported by the majority of the audience so it may launch into production!
- Create a presentation to convince the audience to support your group. This may include a power point, a model, a display board, or etcetera. Choose a medium that you feel best displays your group’s intentions and your product/ideas clearly. You want your product sold, and this is how to achieve that.
Grading
Although the goal is to have your product chosen, grading will depend on the completion of blog posts throughout the course of the assignment, group cohesion, clear presentation of the product (both through language and visual aid), and keeping the presentation within the determined timeframe.
