STUDENT TIP SHEET: Writing an Effective Reflection/Self-Assessment Paper

TIP: THREE KEY QUESTIONS – WHAT? SO WHAT? NOW WHAT?

• What? Start by describing and examining what happened during your experience. This includes observations about your own and other people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

• So what? Make meaning of ‘what’ happened. Move your thinking from description to analysis and interpretation. Explore how the academic concepts you have learned from class lectures and readings, relate to your experiences. Explore and critique academic concepts by examining how theory both fits well with your experience and where there are gaps.

• Now what? Identify how what you have learned can be used in the real world. Explore how parts are relevant to your future in college and/or career.

Explore how theory can be used to improve practice. Explore how practice can be used to improve theory.

Equally as essential is “How do you keep the people’s attention?” Name the two essential emotions they point out as critical.

Each student should present a hypothetical situation where they are giving a speech and utilize one or both of the essential emotions you would use to gain and keep the people’s attention. This may be something that has actually happened to you.

FEMA Certificates and Response Paper

Skepticism exists regarding the security of electronic health records. In some cases, it is justified; in others, it is the result of a lack of understanding. What assumptions are evident in the two scenarios below?

A number of staff members on your unit are vehemently opposed to the introduction of electronic health records. Some believe that moving to electronic charting will result in the depersonalization of client care. Others believe that paper-based records are safer because access to them can be strictly controlled. Based on your readings in this unit and the previous one, how would you reply to these concerns?

A client declines to respond to a number of questions when interviewed for the nursing history stating that the information has been collected previously. Based on your knowledge of the state of implementation of the electronic health record in your practice setting, how would you address his concerns? What health information is available? How could your nursing assessment build on his health information that is currently available?

Describe an alternative way of writing the passage that would capture the same information but that would be more respectful.

A key practice in the social sciences is writing about people. When doing this, it is important to write in a way that respects the people you are writing about. The book, Forces of Habit, is a useful introduction to the history of drug use. However, it includes many references to people that may not be considered respectful. Below are some guidelines about good and bad practices when writing about others.

Include the passage in quotes and explain why you think the passage violates respectful writing. Refer to specific examples from the passage and discuss those examples in reference to the guidelines below. Be sure to cite the passage you use from Forces of Habit in APA style.

Describe an alternative way of writing the passage that would capture the same information but that would be more respectful. This should include a re-write of the passage placed in quotes. Justify your proposed changes by referring to the guidelines below.

It’s better to choose a shorter passage and focus in-depth on that rather than choosing a longer passage.

Use the guidelines listed below to support your argument about why certain phrases are disrespectful and why the re-written phrases would be more respectful. Don’t just say something is derogatory or offensive. Justify why it is disrespectful or respectful with solid reasoning.

Guidelines

Avoid making generalizations about groups of people (e.g., drug users are unable to control themselves, immigrants are lazy). Generalizations are rarely true.
