...reflection essays that I wrote, I noticed numerous problems that stood out for each essay and some that repeated themselves. These problems formed various patterns that appeared throughout my writing, brought out my strongest and weakest points for each essay, and made me think about what I would have done differently if I would have had more time. As I began writing the review essay, the annotated bibliographies, and the academic argument, the one problem, or error, that became consistent was lack of detail of the citations I used in my earlier drafts. As I looked back at my essay for the academic argument, this became one of the most noticeable patterns that was consistent throughout all my...

...Ep Reflection During the different processes of making the essay, I felt that it was easier to make the final written essay as we had already made our points and found our quotes. If we had forgotten different events in the novel we could look at our reading log which helped tremendously as we were reading other novels at the same time. These steps helped me stay on track as I would have procrastinated and finished my essay a day or two before the due date. When writing the essay I found that it was easier and quicker as we had already found the quotes and had all our ideas written down. The steps were put into a good order and helped me focus on a topic. At some points I felt rushed as some of the steps were due a few days after we were given...

...My Reflection on Application of Analytic Methods Course Nursing profession of today’s world has called for the elevation of the advanced nursing education to a higher degree for a better patient health outcome (Cronenwett, et al., 2011). To this effect, in 2004 the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (ANCN) endorsed that the Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) receive training to the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. In reference to the APRN approval for a higher degree, I went back to school to earn a DNP degree. Looking back at my journey towards obtaining a DNP degree at Chamberlain College of Nursing, I will proudly say that I have completed a sixteen week of my DNP journey that the ANCN has advocated for. Hence, the following account is a self-reflection of my experience in the application of analytical methods course. Over that past eight weeks of the application of analytical methods course, we dealt with different topics, assignments, and discussions that range from PICOT question development to DNP project dissemination. I learnt the importance of evidence-based practices (EBPs) and their relevance to my current job as a nurse practitioner, and most importantly to my upcoming DNP project. My learning experiences during this eight weeks course section has been quite versed. In the first week, the class objective was to formulate a PICOT that will be used for an EBP intervention. I vividly could remember how I struggled to put a one-sentence...

...This semester of English 111 has taught me many things about my writing. I have learned that one of my best strategies with writing is getting a head start. I have learned that I will produce a better paper if I work on it periodically rather than all at once before the due date. Writing a paper periodically allows my brain to take a rest between each night. While my brain does get a rest, writing periodically also allows me to think of new thoughts and ideas that I want to incorporate into my paper. Along with this idea, a strategy that doesn’t work as well for me is trying to do too much at once. For the Paradise Lost Analysis and British Literature Analysis, I tried to do everything in one night so I wouldn’t have to worry about it any more. This technique put even more stress on me and made me overwhelmed. Although my literary analyses seemed strong in my...

...Write a Critical Literary Analysis Essay When writing a literary analysis essay, your main objective is not to write a simple summary. Rather, your goal is to write an essay that discusses your interpretation and critique of the literature. There are a few general guidelines you should keep in mind when writing a literary analysis essay. Remember, there often is no right or wrong answer – what really matters is proving your thesis with evidence! One tip you should keep in mind while writing a literary analysis essay is that you should always write in the present tense and never in the past tense. For example, you might write “In George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm,’ the animals take over the farm and develop their own independent society” rather than “In George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm,’ the animals took over the farm and developed their own independent society.” Another tip is you should also avoid putting yourself into the literary analysis. This means you should write in the third person and never use the words “I” or “you.” There may be exceptions to this rule, however, depending upon your instructor. In fact, some will request a more informal literary analysis that will include the usage of these words. When in doubt, however, it is safer to use the third person. Since literary analysis essays are not meant to simply be a book review or summary of the book, you should not retell the story in your essay. Rather, you need to form a thesis about the piece of literature and then...

...Reflective practice is an approach widely adopted by professionals in evaluating their practice, particularly in nursing and health care (Kenworthy et al 2002). Reflection is a necessary process in order to comply with Post-registration education and practice (PREP), continuing professional development standard, as required by the NMC (2006). Reflection can therefore be regarded as a fundamental process for all professionals registered within the NMC. This essay specifically focuses upon reflection in relation to the student Specialist community public health nurse (SCPHN). Reflective practice in nursing can be guided by models of reflection. Using a model or framework can be beneficial in aiding practioners and students of nursing and health care to, reflect upon incidents, and critically analyse those incidents, therefore helping the practioner to learn and move on (Ashby 2006). This essay aims to explore the concept of reflection. It will discuss and critically analyse Gibbs (1998) theoretical model of reflection whilst also considering other models and their use in relation to the role of a student SCPHN working within a children and family community setting. Reflective practice is not a new concept. It originated in the 1930's from work carried out by American educationalist John Dewey. Dewey (1933) developed the idea of reflection as a way of learning in education. This idea has since been drawn upon in the works of many others; Schon (1983) similarly highlights the...

...Essay Using relevant SSK19 readings, in particular the four dimensions of reflective practice presented in Pavlovich (2007, 283), discuss the fundamental role that critical thinking plays in evaluating arguments at university. Most of us would believe that we make good decisions; but most of us find it uncommon practise to use the tool of critical thinking to enhance our thinking process which enables us to make better decisions. This essay with provide examples of critical thinking when evaluating arguments by using the different dimensional levels of reflective processes. Critical thinking in evaluating arguments is stated as an essential skill for student at university level, but can only be used to its best when it grouped with the tool of reflection. Most do believe, reflection and critical thinking go hand in hand as a process, just like a personal experience cannot be truly acknowledged within if you don’t ask the question, analyse, understand or action. The fundamental role that critical thinking plays in university arguments is that it allows the student to analyse, evaluate and draw conclusion by using their own mind and not be persuaded by other external or biased opinions. Pavlovich’s reading “The development of reflective practise through student journals” (Pavlovich 2007) refers to the four dimensional levels that she believes is the summary of reflective practise. The four dimensions of reflective method are, describing the experience, analysis of the experience...
