APA Reflection Paper

When assessing and completing, “The Readiness for Physical Activity”, I found that for the PAR-Q questions I answered “No” to all seven questions. Similarly, when it came to the Physical Readiness for Sports or Vigorous Training, I once again answered “No” on all five of the questions. Therefore, based on these results there are a couple of conclusions and implications for me to acknowledge. For instance, since I answered “No” to all of the Par-Q questions, it’s safe to say that I can start becoming much more physically active without needing to talk to my doctor before doing so. In addition to that, I now understand that I should take part in a fitness appraisal so I can determine my basic fitness and thus plan out the best way to incorporate

Learning APA format can improve the writing skills of students, by asking them to consider word choice and writing style. An APA-formatted paper follows guidelines in regards to voice, point of view, and clarity. For example, APA suggests that a writer aim for a clear and concise voice, absent of bias and poetic language. The guidelines also suggest using the active voice in papers, which makes a writer more aware of sentence

When this class started at the beginning of this semester I was not sure I would learn a lot. The main objectives of this class were fairly simple. There were five main objectives to use and know. They are the following:

In Honors English III, Mrs. Bryce assigned the class a research project. Although we were allowed to work in groups, all of the writing portions were expected to be done individually. We were allowed do to research on any topic that we wanted. Unlike most papers we had written, this paper would be written in APA format. Some of the work would be done in class, such as the Introduction and Literature Review. However, most of it was expected to be done outside of school. Some additional requirements was that we had a minimum of three data collection sources and three findings from them.

Elizabeth, like you this is my first time as well writing in the APA style format. Honestly until starting this course I had zero idea that there was even a writing style for writing papers of this nature. I vaguely remember the first, second, and third person perspectives of writing a paper. I know that I will need to do research for future papers, and cite others. But knowing the proper way to do so is something I will be learning as we go. The use of the correct terminology, concepts, clearer languages, and punctuation will be a learning curve again for me. References and giving people the proper credit I see the need for, now to learn to do it correctly.

I took AP English Language course during my junior year and-truth be told-the teacher, I took it with was probably the best and the hardest English teacher at school. He would teach beyond his English lesson plan because he believed we should learn as much as we can now and not "learn it in college later." Additionally, he would make us respond to college prompts and read brilliant works by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Bertrand Russell. Of course, this took me some while to get used to, but because I'd do anything but drop out of AP so I pulled through by making sure I had my priorities straight and did the coursework I needed to do, asked questions whenever I had the slightest uncertainty, and collaborated extensively whenever I could with my classmates

I’m not going to lie to everyone, writing is not my favorite thing to do in life. In fact, I’m looking forward to my last class for my bachelor’s degree and my last essay or paper to complete said bachelor’s degree. I cannot pinpoint whether my discord with writing is attributed to a lack of ideas flowing in my head, or the inability to translate my ideas to paper. With that being said, I started this class with a basic knowledge of the APA writing style and I’d like to say I had an intermediate level of understanding of grammar. After these past eight weeks of Writing 101, I now can easily setup and build an efficient APA essay and I’ve learned how to conform to the APA writing style’s reference page.

I completed my directed reading-thinking activity with a five year old kindergartener named Austin, at Holly Academy. After having taught my first DRTA, I deliberated on it both individually and with my cooperating teacher. I have several things that I would like to reflect upon. Overall, I think that the outcome of my DRTA was effective. Nevertheless, there is always room for improvement.

The AP English course is a difficult and time-consuming course that requires dedication and persistence. AP English has a large course load compared too high school and I feel with persistence and dedication the work will be challenging and rewording. Advice to help with the amount of reading material is to take your time when reading and don’t rush find key details in the text and underlining details.

I intend to pursue a degree in the medical field. Upon undertaking a job in the medical field, numerous college professors will require you to grasp how to write APA style. APA stands for the American Physiological Association and is generally used in social sciences. All through during high school MLA has been stressed as the major style of writing, assuming APA will be difficult to write is outside of my jurisdiction. MLA and APA have several similarities. Both text styles are double spaced, must include either a “references” or “work cited” page, and anything that is not original must be cited. In contrast, papers written in APA and MLA will have an evident difference in appearance. APA always requires a title page

All the four students gave me feedback which all had a different perspective regarding my paper and that was very important as it allowed me to see my paper very deep. I used the feedback I got from my peer and changed my first draft, including the format of my paper to APA. The feedback also indirectly helped me to learn more about APA format.

One of the most interesting things that I have learned in this class would be how to write in text citations properly. Considering I had never used APA style writing before I came to Bethel, I think that I have gotten better at them. I also feel like my sentence structure has gotten better since the beginning of this class.

This week at Bridge House things are not running so smoothly. After returning from a long weekend I notice a change in the client ratio. Some clients was discharged over the weekend, resulting from unappropriated behaviors. I found the challenge to be the coed residential setting. This setting for some takes the recovery focus away. Individuals begin to form intimate relationships, and lose their focus. They become once again unable to make importance decisions for themselves. As seen with the two clients who decided to leave the program together, and the other two who got caught having imamate contact. I truly think that a rehab setting should not be coed.

Yes, I do know an APRN. Her function is to diagnose and treat patients in the cardiovascular wellness clinic. She is in the cardiovascular wellness specialty clinic. My exposure to APRNs are that they work mostly in the office setting, and some work in the hospital inpatient settings. APRNs practice in collaboration with an assigned physician with formal written documentations that describes the agreement between the APRN and the assigned physician. They collaborate in gathering information about a patient’s medical history, consult in regards to the treatment plans, and refer for additional evaluations and treatments as needed.

Learning to assess students can be likened to a choreographed dance routine, where practice makes perfect! After spending the past five weeks educating myself about, administering and fine tuning my `practice` of the Woodcock Johnson VI (WJ IV ACH), I believe that I have a stronger understanding of what makes it an unique assessment tool. What stands out for me about the test is that it offers numerous ways to identify a student’s academic strengths and challenges. This in turn, can help direct the needed intervention. I will summarize some of my thoughts about the WJ IV ACH by focusing on my initial experiences and analysis of three of the four comprehensive portions: reading, mathematics, and writing. I will conclude my summary by sharing
