Module 1 Journal

 

In this module, you have been asked to complete the Strengthsfinder Survey. This survey is one of many rigorously tested, well-known personality profile surveys in the market and provides an opportunity for you to consider some of the strengths that you bring to your career next steps.  This survey is one tool to support your process of self-understanding.  It is not exhaustive and does not provide a full picture of who you are.   

Please reflect on your Strengthsfinder results, which detail a number of character strengths that are unique to you. In this journal, please reflect on the following questions:

  1. Were you surprised by the strengths assigned to you? Which strengths seemed particularly accurate?  Which strengths (if any) seem incorrect?
  2. Briefly describe a time at NLU that you may have used one of the strengths assigned to you by the survey.
  3. Are there other strengths identified in the Strengthsfinder 2.0 book that were not assigned to you today that you would have used to describe yourself?  In what way have you demonstrated that strength?

Instructions:

  • Your journal should be approximately 300-350 words in length and should address each question in the assignment directions.
  • Please refer to the rubric associated with this assignment for detailed guidance about expectations and grading. 
  • Please submit this assignment according to the directions on your syllabus.

Presentation #1: Identifying and Illustrating my Skills

 There is a valuable lesson to be learned from those who have conducted successful job searches: it is extremely important to define who you are as you embark on your job search AND to be able to illustrate who you are through short stories from your professional and personal life that demonstrate the unique strengths you bring to a role. 

Objective:  Develop a 3-4 minute recorded presentation in which you  (1) define who you are now, using Sidney Fines Three Kinds of Skills, (2) illustrate your skills with a story from your life as directed below and (3) set a goal as to how you will demonstrate/apply your skills in your current internship. You will use PowerPoint or a similar tool to create your presentation.

Recording Directions:  record your completed presentation and upload it into the dropbox for Presentation #1 in D2L. 

Your recording options are:

  1. Panopto:  This option is housed in your D2L course shell and is a video-sharing platform supported by NLU.  Detailed directions for recording and sharing with Panopto can be found
  2. PowerPoint dictation:  Using this option, you would record a voice-over of your PowerPoint slides and share them with your instructor.  Directions for this option can be found
  3. Zoom: you may use zoom to record your presentation, walking your audience through shared slides.  You would use the record function in zoom and then save your completed recording and share it with your instructor in D2L.  Directions for using zoom to record a presentation can be found .  This option does require that you sign up for a temporary free zoom account or that you have your own account.

Presentation Content Directions:  In your presentation, make sure to:

1. Define your skills. (3 Slides-one for each skill type)

a. Using Sidney Fines Three Kinds of Skills (linked ), identify one Transferable/Functional skill (what you can do), one personal trait/attitude (how you conduct yourself), and one knowledge-based skill (what you know)  that best define the strengths you bring to your internship at this moment. (You are encouraged to identify one of these skills from your Strengthsfinder survey.)

2.  Determine how your passions, values, and interests connect to the skills you have identified. (1 slide)

  1. As you think about what you can do, how you behave, and what you know, its also important to think about what you care about and what you love.  Reflect on the connection and share your learnings in this slide.

3. Illustrate with a story.   (1 slide)

  1. Select an event  from your recent past where you have demonstrated 

your identified skills. You might revisit the SOAR  format to tell your story, revisited . You could also consider the storytelling suggestions offered by Katherine Hanson in your assigned readings, found  (Your story must contain: what you wanted to accomplish, a hurdle or obstacles you encountered, a description of what you did, a description of the result that is measurable.)  If you absolutely need to tell more than one story, you can. The goal here is to show your audience how you have demonstrated the skills you have identified.

4. Determine Next Steps.  (1 slide)

  1. Now that you have identified three current skills, identify ways that you might demonstrate  (or more effectively demonstrate) these skills in your current internship, job, or extracurricular activity.

Required Readings for Presentation:  

  •  Skillscan (2012) The Three Types of Skills Classification
  • Hansan, K. Use Stories to Prove Your Skills. LiveCareer.
  • Rivera, R. (2015, February 15).  Have S.O.A.R or S.T.A.R Statements Prepared for Your Next Interview. LinkedIn.

Just to let you know that I am Computer Science student so present it accordingly

THIS PROMPT LOOKS BUT YOU ARE ONLY WRITING 7 TO 12 SENTENCES

 

Overview:  Integrating evidence into academic writing is a skill central to success in college.  Integrating evidence requires the statement of a claim, information from a scholarly source to support this claim, and an explanation as to how the claim and evidence are connected.  This exercise is a practice in integrating evidence. When you respond to your classmate, comment on how they connect claims and evidence.

Watch: 

Discussion Prompt:

1.     MAKE A CLAIM.  State your opinion on a current topic.  This should be 1 to 2 sentences.  Examples of claims are below:

  • The Electoral College is an outdated method of deciding elections.
  • The Electoral College is a necessary part of the election process as it aids in ensuring all have an equal voice.
  • Education in Oklahoma is falling behind because teachers are underpaid.
  • Education in Oklahoma is strong because of the growth of charter schools.
  • Playing video games improves eyesight and reflexes.
  • Playing video games can lead to violence in children.
  • Social media helps people stay more connected to their friends and family.
  • Social media leads to depression as everyone only depicts their best self.

2.     INTEGRAT EVIDENCE.  Use EBSCO Host from the OCCC Library website to find a scholarly source that supports your claim.  In 2 to 3 sentences, paraphrase or summarize the information contained in this source.  Be sure to cite the sentences using the author and, if appropriate, page number per MLA conventions.  You will also include the full citation for the source at the end of the discussion post.

Citations within the writing allow the reader to know when you are drawing on the work of others.  The full citation at the end of the writing allows the reader the information required to find the source and read it should they wish to do so.

For this activity, you are practicing paraphrasing.  Paraphrasing is a summary of another work written in your own words.  While the use of quotes from other works is necessary at times, it is often preferred that writers paraphrase the work of others more often than quoting.  Paraphrasing allows the reader to hear your interpretation of the source, rather than only directly from another author. Example (a follow up to the final claim in the list above):

  • Research on depression found that those who engage in activity on social media for at least 2 hours each day have a higher likelihood of experiencing feelings of sadness.  Further, the study findings indicate that Instagram users were less likely than Twitter users to experience depression (Burke 39). 

3.     CONNECT OR ANALYZE.  Write 2 to 3 sentences that explain how the information contained in the source connects to the claim.  This is an opportunity to provide a deeper analysis of the issue.  Example:

  • While the use of social media is a convenient way to maintain contact with friends and family, there can also be drawbacks.  Depression is a real issue with clear connections to social media use.  This research explains that limiting social media use may reduce symptoms of depression. 

4.     REFLECT.  In 3 to 4 sentences, reflect on this exercise.  What part was the most challenging?  Is integrating evidence new to you?  What other information or instruction would you like to receive to help you continue to improve your evidence integration skills?
