Lesson 2 Reflection

Content:

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
As I was describing the different types of oral diseases, I noticed how people were getting so squimishy on how much these diseases can cause great damage to their oral as well as overall health. This made me feel proud that I was able to show them a different understanding on basic dental health.
2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
             P      

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
I wasn't quite detailing some parts during my presentation and I know i should have said more about those little specific details.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
Talking about the fear of going to the dentist and what the reasons are is the main problem with people, especially people in low demographic areas.
4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I would have done my hook activity differently and fix a few errors on my activity worksheet then I would have brought more attention to the class.
5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I will mostly focus on the healthcare plans that affect the people in low demographic areas.

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours Check

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

I went to both my dental clinics, my main clinic is in Pomona called Trance and Dental Spa. The other clinic is located in Claremont called Smile Design.

2.   Who is your contact?

For my contact I mostly go to Trance and Dental Spa and talk to Diana who is one of mentors there at the clinic. The phone number for the clinic is (909)865-8595.

3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?

So far I have done 31hours in total from both my dental clinics for my mentorship hours.

4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.

I have learned in a hands on experience of what's it is like being a nurse assistant by helping out in cleaning the clinic, sanitzing the dental equipment, and cleaning up after the patient has been finished with his treatment.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?
I was able go to both my dental clinics where one is located in Pomona, while the other is at Claremont. What I was doing in the clinics in order to have that hands on experince was cleaning up after the doctor was finished with his patient's treatment. I also had the liberty to sanitize the dental equipment as well as helping the nurses out during the patient's treatment.


2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?
What I learned is it's not what counts on the outside of the clinic but what goes behind the desk, meaning the actual experience of the clinic. During my time working in Pomona, the patients were focusing on how each move or word we said can affect how they react to us. Likewise in Claremont, where I was very cautious about what I say or do in the clinic which can affect the patients emotions. Its not about having the high tech equipment that makes the clinic so popular but treating the patients with the upmost care.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I  would talk to one of the main nurses who took me in as an intern in the Claremont clinic. Throughout the entire time woking in the clinic, I always see her comforting the patients before the doctor comes in to begin working on their treatment. She makes the clinic go more smoothly for the doctor as well as the other staff members.

December Post

During my winter vacation I have spent working at both clinics. At the Claremont clinic, I was able to get hands on experience as well as know the layout of how the workers are. I was able to learn from the nurses how they setup and process the dental equipment as well as helping them in getting their equipment while they were treating the patient. I also met new interns during my work days and the nurses gave them advice and guidelines for them when working in the clinic. In my mentor's clinic in Pomona, I helped them out as well as know how a lot of people were coming to the clinic more happy because of how they were offered organic snacks for them as they wait for their appointment.

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.

1. Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?

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.
