This is my reflection for the past Unit 2, ENGL 301.
LinkedIn pleasantly surprised me. Initially, I thought it was a forum that was similar to Facebook or Instagram where people could follow people they know or their interests. After discovering how valuable it is linked to your career and connections, I am grateful that this has been introduced to the course. Researching different aspects of how to create a LinkedIn profile was interesting to see how simple yet complex it is. To create a profile that defines you in simple yet intricate keywords is the goal. I am fortunate to have a couple of entrepreneur friends that gave me tips in how to create an all-encompassing account. Another aspect that I found interesting with LinkedIn is how you contact previous employers or connections to write reviews for you to increase followers and potential business prospects. For my career in possibly opening my own dental hygiene clinic, this is an excellent tool to practice and implement now.
The idea for the formal report proposal has come together nicely. I am worried about the outcome of the final report as it does rely heavily on the dental team I work with and without their cooperation, I will not get the results that I need to complete the project. I am unsure of how that will impact my report; if I have to start over or the project just becomes null. Currently, I am enjoying the process as I feel the opportunity for the topic (implementing yoga to prevent a musculoskeletal disorder) has come at an excellent time. With the lifting of COVID 19 regulations and the business of the dental practice, it will be complimentary to get into an aerobic exercise routine.
Peer reviewing is one of my favourite parts of this course because it allows one to see how other peoples minds work and their ideas. It is challenging in how to formulate a concise review that the reviewer will be able to digest and to further improve on their original report. It’s interesting because I find after the review process, rereading my paper alone, I find changes that I could improve on. Right now, to work on a formal report, I have seen a lot of different ideas that I wouldn’t have considered before due to COVID 19. There has been a lot of different subjects that have popped up that are unusual resulting from the Pandemic, and I am curious as to their final reports.
