A student learning outcome, or SLO that I met in the criteria when presenting both
of my IDP’s is that I was a active citizen, willing collaborator, and a critical
thinker. My group and I were active citizens and involved in our communities
when we went to different clinics during our first IDP assignment. This was to ask
about information about our topic of Lung Cancer and whether they offered
community resources like test you can take or tips on how you can prevent the
disease. In both IDP’s my group and I were willing collaborators because we were
trying to help solve a problem that has been affecting our community and trying to
help people prevent the disease by informing them on the causes and the higher
risks of getting it if they are doing certain things like smoking. During both IDP’s
we were also critical thinkers because we had to find a way to get the information
we had collected out there. In both IDP’s we had to present to our panels but that
wouldn’t be enough to get the information out to the public what we did was we
handed out flyers to people out in the street to inform them more about the disease
and how they could prevent it.
Throughout presenting all of the IDP’s and learning from them all three areas that I
have seen growth is in being able to work in team work. I haven’t always been
good in working together in groups because most of the time I always turn my part
in late. I procrastinate and don’t finish it in time but after having deadlines and a
serious group assignment I am now able to do my part of the assignment on time
and turn it in. Another area that I saw growth in during my IDP’s is the ability to
present in front of people. I have never been good in class presentations but when I
was supposed to present for the IDP’s, it forced me to practice my part and learn it
well. Learning to present in front of people isn’t easy because you can’t be
laughing and have to be serious. The last areas that I saw growth in was on the
ability to not fidget and wait patiently to present. I stopped fidgeting after my
second IDP and can now wait patiently to present. Some areas that I still need to
improve on are memorization. Memorization is a big part of presentations because
it makes you look good and not lost when you’re presenting.
All these abilities that I have learned during my IDP’s can help me in the future for
when I need to do a class presentation by myself or when im applying for a job n
the near future.
