November Blog

My mentor was asking me what I should add onto her dental clinic's facebook page, and I suggested making a flyer about their monthly offers. I wanted to keep on doing these monthly offers which can lead to attracting other clients as well as suggesting to decorate the clinic for monthly holidays such as December and February. This will result in having clients see how much we care about providing them with latest deals and offers since some families are having financial problems while treating them as if the clinic was their second home. I also was trying to find my second mentor for the first component project, and the clinic I went to is called Smile Design. I am still waiting on their approval for me to come in as a shadow since it is a high demographic area.

EQ

1.   Review this.  Confirm by stating "I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ."
I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

2.  Review the following EQs and
 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
It doesn't meet the rule of three, because this question has a weak stance on arguing since there are a lot of factors that are required to have a healthily weight loss.

 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
Yes it meets the requirements, because it shows a specific category when talking about the topic. 

 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
No it doesn't meet the requirements because it needs a specific audience when addressing the question and it doesn't really make sense by being so broad.

 d.  How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

It doesn't meet the rule of three because its very broad of the topic itself.

3.  Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.  The senior team will be meeting with students shortly for EQ revision and approval; you are expected to bring your research notebook to that meeting with your EQ draft written inside in pencil.


    What is the best way to run a dental clinic?

Lesson 1 Reflection

Content:

1. Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?
I was able to provide enough evidence in my presentation from the amount of time I've had.

2. Questions to Consider
       a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       I would grade my lesson one presentation as a moderate "P".        

       b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.

  • I managed to make it to ten minutes while providing my resources from articles, as well as from my mentorship.
  • I interacted with the audience by having a little discussion on the importance of brushing your teeth and the health benefits of it.
  • I explained about my prop in my presentation, which was about having a holiday special in my mentor's dental clinic this christmas and as well as my job on keeping her facebook business page stays updated while trying to get her name out to the community.


3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?
The powerpoint helped me by only having certain keywords in my presentation, which made me remember my main points of my resources.

4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?

  • I would have spoken more firmly and clearly.
  • Try not to be so nervous and relax while speaking.
  • I would try not to repeat the same phrases during the presentation.
