Journals
These journals reflect my weekly experiences as an athletic training student. Each journal reflects either an actual patient contact experience, or something I am working on in my athletic training courses.
My most challenging class for me this semester is my connections course. I don’t think its very challenging, however, there is a lot of work that is required for this class. I usually have an assignment due every class. Whether this is a reading assignment, writing a paper, or turning in a project. The required assignments take me a while to complete because I am researching my own project. Not only am I researching on my own project, but there is a lot reading required because I also have to learn about Cuba which is what the whole class is about. So there is a lot of work I need to put into this course. However, I have really enjoyed this class because it has made me come out of my comfort zone because I have to present most Fridays. The research project for this course is very interesting because we were allowed to pick whatever type of group/culture that we wanted. I picked a subject I wasn’t familiar with because I wanted to be able to learn more about them. Due to this, I spend a lot of time researching and reading about the subject in order to answer or respond to the following assignment. I struggled at the beginning because I did not realize how much time I would spend completing the assignments. It took me until this week to figure out how I should plan doing the assignments. For this course, I have an assignment due both Monday and Friday of the week. I have learned that the assignments due on Friday take a lot more time to complete than Monday. The Friday assignments are usually projects due that I either have to make a video, poster board, or book review. These assignments are fun, however, they take a lot of time to get completed. I also want them to be good, so I work really hard on them because I have to present them in front of the class. So, I have planned starting the Friday assignment on Monday. This gives me enough time to ask the professor if I have any questions on the project, and it gives me enough time to get the assignment completed. The assignments that are due on Monday I complete over the weekend. I really enjoy this class, but it takes away from allowing me to use that time for other classes for my major.
