Core Competencies

I know the group is working well together when I see that my parter and I are focussed on our work and that we are getting our parts done, disccusing them and supporting each other when we have questions or we are unsure of certain areas. We worked in a timely manner and we were able to talk things through and come to agreements.

If I notice that there us some confusion and struggles, that’s a sign that my group needs help and we can get support by having conversations about certain chapters or scenes of the book. We can pool our ideas together to make sense of what is occuring and if there is some sort of hidden meaning, we explain what we got from that passage.

I compile and synthesize information to draw reasoned conclusions, such as when my partner and I were trying to discover exact quotations that we felt were needed to get our points across and to give the text more expression. We did this as we talked about what we needed, we found precise quotes from the book and then we were able to confer on how we wanted to include the quotes or if we needed different ones.

An area of study in which I feel confident to regularly challenge assumptions and develop new ideas is in creating meaning from text. One of my goals is too be able to go in depth and create new ideas from passages. This will extend my learning as I will be able to look at certain areas from unique perspectives and build a whole new understanding. I will read more books and articles and attempt to see them from new ways. Also, I will start taking more notes to notice little details that may be important or showing something irregular.

Life Saving Measures

After attending these three presentations, I have learned various things that will help me save a life and prevent deaths when people are in need. One of the things I learned was the good samaritan act, which allows people to not be charged for any criminal offense if they are attempting to save a life. For example, if you have drugs on you, while you are trying to adminster life saving procedures on a overdose victim, you can not be charged. Another thing I learned is that I am able to get a naloxone kit at any pharmacy and I am able to use it in a circumstance where someone needs it. This is very helpful as I am able to help people and I can inject the naloxone drug as it will help someone if they are overdosing and it won’t have an effect on someone if they are not overdosing. The final and most important thing I learned was about CPR, that to keep the persons heart pumping you should break there ribs so that you can directly access the heart. Also, you should rub the persons sternum in certain cases to see if they are responsive and concious. These can have a positive outcome on my life as I can administer live saving procedures to people in need, if I am placed into these situations.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency Reflection

I can analyze evidence to make judgements.

If I am on a scene and I am called upon to help an individual, I am able to recognize symptoms of conditions. For example I can rub a persons sternum to see if they are alert or shake them. Also if someone is having a heart attack I can use an AED safely to help revive the heartbeat of a person and help them until emergency services arrive.
