Class Wrap Up

The last day of class was a great experience. I was able to listen to some great presentations and turn in the ever so stressful final biz project. However, what I enjoyed most about the last day of class was Professor Middleton's wrap-up. Her story of the paraglider that landed in the parking lot instead of the other side of the river was inspiring to me. Often we don't realize that we are focused on the wrong things and this can decide our fate. It's never worth it to be focused on the bad. Focus on your dreams and you WILL get there!

This class was a great learning experience and I know it will benefit me in my career as a doctor.

Individual Presentations

On Thursday I was able to present individually about managing social media. It was actually a pretty interesting topic to research and I felt like it was pretty exciting to talk about. I ended up presenting 4 times and was graded the very last time with a very large and distracting (haha) audience. I was a little bit nervous but I felt like I effectively used the suggestions and comments from the previous presentation groups to my advantage to improve my presentation. There were a few things I could still improve but I felt like I did well overall and the grade I received proved so. However, I've learned in this class not to care about the grade your receive. It rarely represents your true performance in the real world. This class is highly subjective though, so I can understand how difficult it is to grade, especially when the grader is bound to a rubric. I'm glad I've had the opportunity to develop my skills in this class and hope to continue using and developing these skills.
