Blog 27: Self Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

The aspect of my senior project that I am most proud of is the fact that I incorporated an activity that really allowed the students in my presentation to understand and make their own sanitizer. I struggled with finding an activity that would really incorporate my answers and be enjoyable for the students.  

 

(2) Questions to Consider

a. AE - I feel as though I answered my essential question in a way that allowed my audience to really grasp what I was trying to say as well as really engaging them. I understood my topic well and I feel that, that translated to the people in my presentation.

 

       b. P due to the fact that the combination of the knowledge I gained and how I conveyed in it my presentation with my research quality I feel as though a P would suffice.   

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

Allowing me to choose where I narrowed my focus as well as how I chose to research everything really allowed me to grow into my topic and enjoy it so much more. 

(4) What didn’t work for you in your senior project?

Changing my topic so late in the game did not allow to go as extensive in my research as I wanted which did hinder me in a way.

(5) Finding Value

My senior project really allowed me to choose biology as a major and apply as so to universities and know what I wanted to do with specificity in anesthesia and medicine in general. Xavier University has accepted me a Biology and Chemistry major and I have decided to accept their offer.

Blog 24: Independent Component 2

Literal

(a) “I, Christine Valdivias, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.” 

(b)I have completed 30 hours of work at San Dimas Community Hospital in emergency room. I clean patient sleeping areas, including equipment and re-stalking all the supplies in ach room, I also run specimens to the lab.

Interpretive
The most significant part of my independent component 2 work was really getting to work one on one with professionals in that type of environment, I felt that as much as I spoke with professionals nothing was as good as experiencing it. Along with allowing me to adapt to a medical field environment this also allowed me to be comfortable and confident in my abilities to work in an emergency room and not be afraid of the pressure or responsibility. 

Applied

Working in the emergency room helped me in answering my essential question of "What is the best way to prevent complications as an anesthesiologist?" in showing me how medical professionals perform decontamination techniques when working with patients. Being that ad a medical professional you are working with patients getting to know and using decontamination techniques in a medical setting is of great help.
