Career Evaluation Essay
During the beginning of the second semester, Mrs. Bridges had assigned each of her classes a proposition which would include working with the environment along with giving the opportunity to learn a new skill. Requirements for the assignment included: thirty hours of work, a minimum of six photos, along with an essay describing what all occurred during the past three months.
The work I completed didn't go along much with what I chose as my two career choices which was a downside of all the work that was fulfilled between February and May. After graduating from Oak Grove in 2020, I plan to attend a two–year community college for becoming an R.N. An R.N is abbreviated for Registered Nurse, but what does one do? Well, this type of nurse helps...show more content...
Equine judging is when you judge the conformation (how the horse is built) of a certain breed, including performance classes. Performance classes are basically where you learn multiple patterns for a certain class while taking notes based off how the rider and horse perform as a team. On April 22nd, both teams competed in the N.C State Horse Judging at St. Andrews equestrian center. Everyone was split up into groups (four groups total); up until 3:30pm we observed each class thoroughly in order to place whom described how the breed and gender should appear. Between the days I wasn't busy helping coach Arcadia volleyball, volunteering at Silverlin, or having equine judging, I would mow Kayla Brewer's lawn since my sister doesn't seem to know how to properly mow a yard. Whenever she mow's, there would be uneven lines while leaving some places untouched.
I also helped McKenna Hartman restore her old family barn after it was left in havoc from her distant cousins. We would wake up at 7:00am, beginning work around 8:30am; we began just by clearing the aisle, tack room, stalls, as well as hayloft. When most of the junk was drugged out, we proceeded to work on the stalls; most stalls had approximately around 1–2.8 ft of manure, shavings, along with hay. Did you know that repairing a fence with a ten year old isn't that easy? We were forced to tear some fencing down while tightening other sections along with re–nailing the
Group Evaluation Essay
As a group, it was important to us to have this in our FVC for a few reasons. One of the reasons for this was because we did not want any member to show up and be under the influence or complain the whole time. If this were to happen, we would have to deal with that problem which would take away time from working and would cause possibly a bigger problem. Profanity and complaining would not be tolerated also because that would then effect the environment and atmosphere of the work place. It can be assumed that with one of those problems occurring work would not be as efficient and scheduled as planned as we thought it would be. Thankfully, during the semester none of my group members complained or appeared to be under the influence during...show more content...
Even though there were problems with people pulling their own weight, I think that the outcome was great. We were able to create a program and without the other group members, it would not have been successful. I think it is important to keep in mind the end goal while going through some difficult stages with group members.
Evaluation of Group Members
This part of the paper will be about me and my peers and the grade that I think they deserve pertaining to their performance and attendance within the group. I will grade them based off of a focus on their participation, help with planning, attendance, and behavior. I think that these are crucial parts of "pulling your own weight" in order to help with the group as a whole.
Katie Krasinski: A+.
I believe I deserve this grade for a multitude of reasons. Immediately when we got the project, I along with Mike took some charge of the group. We wanted to meet as soon as we could so we could get a head start. As the semester continued and our group started getting more work to do, I feel that if participation went down extremely in our group. Some members would not show up, or would try to push back the dates we would meet just because they didn't feel like it. On the other hand, there I was clearing my busy day and plans to make time for the
Performance Evaluation Essay
There is a purpose in doing performance evaluations, in which it helps management make general human resource decisions. Performance evaluations provide input to help make important decisions such as promotions, transfers and even terminations. Also, could help to identify training and developments they need, as well help develop programs and providing feedback to employees on how they performed on their review. Performance evaluation can help to see who will get merit pay increases and other rewards.
In the scenario, I have three concerns about the evaluation that our manager is using. The first concern is the three items that they used to evaluate, friendliness, neatness and attitude, which are not in itself a dreadful start, but...show more content...
When using individual task outcome; you could be evaluated on such things as the quantity produced, the scrap generated in production, and the cost per unit. Evaluating behavior, you would look at how the employee is helping other coworkers, making suggestions for improve the work environment, and volunteering for additional duties. The behavior is the focus on interaction towards others and the organization. Evaluating traits are a little more trickery than the other two because it is farthest removed from the actual performance of the job. When looking at traits, you look to see if the person has a respectful attitude, do they show confidence in their job, are they dependable, and are they always busy, or do they possess a wealth of experience. These traits are routinely used as criteria for assessing an employee's level of performance.
When using a method like the 360–degree to give a performance evaluation has a great advantage for everyone. It helps give the employees in an organization a sense of participating in the process of the person evaluation. By including coworkers, customers, and subordinates; it allows a more accurate reading on the employee's evaluation. Each of these people can give various views about the employee because each one is from different parts of the organization, or even an outside source review on the person can be very valuable. In our scenario, it could be good
Essay on Writing Self-Evaluation
I believe it is important for any student who wants to do their best in a class to take a moment to evaluate their own work to determine the rate their writing is progressing and how they can continue to advance their writing. When I looked through my own work I asked myself "what have I learned this semester?" and "what do I still need to learn in order to improve my writing?". Answering both these questions will help me with my last step of my self–evaluation, developing a plan to learn new skills.
During this semester, I have strengthened my writing by trying new writing techniques, learning about purpose, and finding new ways of combating writers block. My first essay in this class was less focused then the essays I wrote later in...show more content...
I have struggled with writer's block with often. In the past, I've learned to take breaks while writing to help alleviate symptoms of writers block; however, during the semester I have learned to carry a pad of paper with me so that I can write down idea's while they are fresh in my mind. Writing down my thoughts has helped me avoid writers block because I have a list of thoughts about the subject before I have even started writing. When I struggle less to write it improves my essay's by decreasing my stress, this can be seen in my writing. I was afflicted with writer's block while trying to write both my compare and contrast essay and my description essay, this caused me a lot of stress and caused my essay to suffer. On the other hand, when I wrote my classify and divide essay I did not have to deal with writer's block. As a result the stress level was greatly decreased and the improvement is substantial.
Although my writing has made some good progress during the course of this semester, I still some things I need to learn in order to keep improving my writing. Grammar, writing in an active voice, and building my rewrite skills are three examples of skills I need to build upon to continue to improve me writing.
Even though my grammar has improved during the progression of this class, I still have a lot to learn before my knowledge of grammar can contribute to my writing. I have never had an aptitude for
